Mayor-Elect Greg Ballard’s executive team

Abdul is reporting this morning the “inner circle” of members of Mayor-Elect Greg Ballard’s team.

Paul Okeson - Deputy Mayor and Chief of Staff
Chris Cotterill - Corporation Counsel
Carolin Requiz Smith - Director of Latino Affairs
John Cochran - Special Counsel to the Mayor
Greg Wilson - Director of Minority Business Development
Marcus Barlow - Press Secretary

Mayor-Elect Ballard already announced Olgen Williams as Deputy Mayor for Neighborhoods. It appears the 3rd Deputy Mayor slot under outgoing Mayor Bart Peterson, Deputy Mayor for Community Affairs, will disappear in the new administration.
