Minneapolis police chief continues to serve after original term expires

Here's something to keep an eye on: Brian O'Hara's original term as Minneapolis police chief ended nearly four months ago.

State of play: O'Hara's appointment expired on Jan. 1, though Minneapolis' charter allows him to continue serving into July without City Council action.

• The chief has signaled he wants to be reappointed and Mayor Jacob Frey said on WCCO Radio this week that O'Hara "has his full support."

What we're watching: The mayor told host Chad Hartman he intends to bring a "package" of staff confirmations to the City Council.

• A spokesperson told Axios the mayor would bring cabinet-level appointments to council next week, but there's not yet a timeline for the police chief or other department heads.

Friction point: O'Hara has his critics on the council, so his path to re-confirmation may not be straightforward.
