Baltimore spending board to consider $285,000 employment contract for new police commissioner next week

Baltimore’s Board of Estimates is scheduled to consider Richard Worley’s new employment agreement Wednesday, a document that details how much severance he’d be owed if city legislators don’t confirm him as the city’s next police commissioner the next day. An agenda for the spending board’s meeting next week prices the contract at $285,000 — presumably the proposed salary for Mayor Brandon Scott’s pick to lead the Baltimore Police Department.
