Cook County Corruption Chronicles. . . . Part 26
Excerpts from the second semi-annual report by Shakman Compliance Administrator (CA) Julia M. Nowicki:
Pursuant to the Supplementary Relief Order (”SRO”), entered November 30, 2006, this memorandum lists steps that the Compliance Administrator (the “CA”) has concluded must be instituted as part of the “New Plan” mandated under Section II.B. of the SRO in order to eliminate prohibited political influences in Cook County’s hiring process. The CA advocates the implementation of these initiatives and is prepared! to assist the County in any way.
B. Specific Recommendations
1. Enlist CA to Participate in Recruitment and Selection of Human Resources Bureau Chief
The CA is aware that the County is currently recruiting a new HR Bureau Chief. The individual selected may have specific ideas on how s/he would like to reorganize the Bureau of HR, as well as the hiring process and other functions of the Bureau of HR. She feels the selection process for a new HR Bureau Chief should not delay or otherwise interfere with the implementation of other necessary changes in the hiring process.: The CA has previously requested that she be involved in the HR Bureau Chief recruitment and selection process because the individual selected for this position will be instrumental in determining the success of her efforts and the reforms that must be achieved under the SRO. That request is hereby repeated.
