Cook County Corruption Chronicles. . . . Part 51
Excerpts from the second semi-annual report by Shakman Compliance Administrator (CA) Julia M. Nowicki:
VII. NEED FOR SRO DEDICATED LIAISON
Discharging the duties of the CA under the SRO is a n1ulti-faceted task. It requires work and cooperation from the County at many levels. There are a multitude of issues that arise on a daily basis including document retrieval issues, policy decision issues, scheduling issues, legal issues, issues related to the adjudication process an1 other issues. It is self-evident that the CA could achieve greater efficiency in reaching her goals if there were just one person to whom the CA could look to coordinate these matters.
For this employee to be effective, s/he would have to have access and accountability to the President. This employee would also have to have sufficient time to deal with all the various matters that arise, on a daily basis. Lastly, this employee would also have the appropriate qualifications and required knowledge to resolve these issues. Such a person would benefit both the CA and the County.
Accordingly, the CA recommends that designate an appropriately qualified and knowledge person to be dedicated to the work required be the SRO. The CA looks forward to discussing this idea with the County.
