Here are five key points:
1. The city failed to properly fix a housing issue, which resulted in many lead-poisoned children. The city’s investigation team only looked into half of the homes with lead-poisoned children.
2. Mayor Frank Jackson reported the two city officials fell short of expectations, despite performance review strategies.
3. Mr. Bennett was fired due to his “negligence in handling pubic funds and overall incompetence.” He didn’t address the state’s Commission on Minority Health’s questions about what grant money funds.
4. Although Ms. Parrilla took the job as health director after many issues were already cited in the department, she was well informed about the mayor’s expectations to reform the situation.
5. Natoya Walker Minor, chief of public affairs, will temporarily fill in as director of public health and Kathy Rothenberg, health center manger, will temporarily fill in as commissioner of health.
