As you can see below in executive orders, he pretty much eliminated the Chief Cultural Officer position (which he didn’t need anyway) and combined it with someone who was already working in the innovation office as an assistant, and dropped the pay significantly for this new position. (the former officer was making $117K a year, starting pay for the new position is $60K a year)
At this point, I don’t know what to think of this rearranging of the deck chairs. But it seems ironic that a position the mayor felt he needed working in his office has suddenly resigned(?) and he pushes the job on someone else for lesser pay. It would be nice if he could give a public explanation to the council, but he made need to hire an Innovative Communications Cultural Marketing Specialist Analyst Officer to get it right.
