An ideologically disparate coalition of City Council members introduced a symbolic resolution Wednesday calling for new management at the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). The City Council also gave final approval to a new chief information officer, a new director of the council’s financial analysis office and six members of the civilian police oversight commission. 

The council approved the creation of a pilot program to provide financial relief from skyrocketing water bills stemming from underground leaks but a measure to restrict noise around a West Loop abortion clinic was deferred. Additionally, the appointment of a new member of the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) board was held.
