CRA Averts Showdown Over Chief’s Benefits
The Community Redevelopment Agency averted a showdown with the Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday by agreeing to present a compensation and benefit package for CRA chief John Tuite to a council panel for review.
The council had been scheduled to consider ordering the CRA to abstain from acting on Tuite’s pay until the city lawmakers could review the proposal.
In a letter sent this week to Councilwoman Gloria Molina, chairwoman of the council’s Community Redevelopment and Housing Committee, Thomas Kilgore, chairman of the CRA’s personnel committee, agreed to hold an executive session with the committee to discuss Tuite’s pay before any formal action is taken by the CRA board. Kilgore on Monday had declined to give details of the package to the committee.
