Alderpeople on the city’s health and human relations committee Tuesday will consider whether to advance the mayor’s nomination to lead Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC), who has drawn some criticism over her management of the animal control agency on an interim basis. 

The committee will also consider multiple mayoral appointments to the Chicago Advisory Council on Equity, the Chicago Advisory Council on LGBTQ+ Issues and the Chicago Advisory Council on Veterans. 

The Committee on Health and Human Relations will meet at 10 a.m. in council chambers.
