In a recent government meeting, tensions flared over the appointment of a new executive director for the Community Review Board (CRB). Member Goddard expressed strong opposition to the appointment of Miss Vichard, citing concerns about her qualifications and performance. He emphasized that his evaluation of her was based on what he described as low merit scores and a minimal salary increase of 1.5 percent over the past two years.

The discussion took a contentious turn when Miss Vichard defended herself against Goddard's claims, alleging that his evaluation was retaliatory and discriminatory. She accused him of gathering negative information about her leadership without giving her a chance to address any valid concerns. Vichard highlighted the potential impact of Goddard's assessment on her credibility in the field of police accountability and its implications for her earning potential, particularly in a city with rising housing costs.

Vichard's remarks underscored the challenges faced by leadership in the CRB, as she called into question the fairness of the evaluation process and the broader implications for her role and the board's effectiveness. The meeting concluded without a clear resolution, leaving the future of the CRB's leadership in a state of uncertainty.
