- Share via
Developer Rick Caruso said Friday that he had turned down Mayor Richard Riordan’s request to take Gerald Chaleff’s place on the Los Angeles Police Commission.
Caruso said he was “deeply honored” that the mayor asked him to serve on the civilian oversight panel, but wants to continue his work on the city’s Department of Water and Power commission.
“I feel compelled to remain on the board to help craft a statewide solution to our energy crisis,” Caruso said. “I also want to assure Los Angeles of the power it needs to be a great livable and business-friendly city.”
Riordan, who fired Chaleff earlier this month, is expected to announce his replacement next week.
