APD Chief Lisa Davis came to Austin from Cincinnati. Her department then created a new role in Austin, "Chief of Strategic Initiatives," and gave it to Maris Herold, another longtime Cincinnati cop.
Maris's SPOUSE, Tamara Herold, has been paid $256,750 in no-bid APD consulting contracts for some reason.
Also: Robin Engel, a Cincinnati colleague of both Davis and Maris, has been paid $241,750 for the same kind of deal.
Odd.
