David Reynolds is the commissioner of the Chicago Department of Assets, Information and Services.

Aldermen are set on Wednesday to consider allowing the city’s assets department to contract with outside entities to manage city-owned properties, a move officials say will help the city with planned renovations to libraries and police stations.  

The City Council Committee on Budget and Government Operations is also scheduled during its 10 a.m. meeting Wednesday to appropriate (O2021-2155) more than $100,000 in new and carried over grant funds.
