Ahead of a planned vote Tuesday, some lawmakers and residents have taken Holmes to task over long-reported issues at the agency, including instances of inaccurate and delayed dispatches.
Contee and Donnelly similarly backed Holmes while responding to questions from reporters Friday.
But in a statement Friday, Allen said that there is no requirement for the council to hold a public hearing on a nomination — and that the council recently held an oversight roundtable with Holmes to discuss concerns at OUC and the agency’s performance, including “multiple incidents where errors led to delays in emergency services arriving on scene and, tragically, loss of life.
“The mayor has known for months there is significant opposition in the council,” Mendelson said. “I think she should pull back the nomination and work with Council member Allen to come up with a new director.”
