A staffer for 48th Ward Ald. Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth is one step closer to becoming a board member of the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability (CCPSA) after his nomination was stalled twice over four months over concerns the dual role would be a conflict of interest.

The appointment of Angel Rubi Navarijo, Manaa-Hoppenworth’s neighborhood services and public safety director, was approved by the Committee on Police and Fire on Tuesday. The City Council will consider Navarijo’s nomination for a final vote Wednesday.
