LOOKING FOR WORK?

Geoff, who follows these things, points out that Frank Jackson's mayoral transition team is advertising on careerbuilder.com for a "Chief of Technology":
While working with the leaders of other departments, you will make City Hall departments more technologically capable of communicating with one another, and with citizens.
The City of Cleveland doesn't currently have such a title, but there's a Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Melodie Mayberry-Stewart, who's "responsible for developing, implementing and supporting Information Technology (IT) strategies to improve government services for the City of Cleveland." Sounds pretty similar.

Other openings listed (unambiguously) by the Jackson team: the Directors of Public Safety, Economic Development, Community Development, Community Relations, and Finance.
