A slow news day turns hectic with a hastily-called 4 p.m. Friday presser ... and the celebration at City Hall is suddenly over. Duffy and Chief Moore hold separate news conferences. After Moore is finished, reporters and cameramen step forward to shake his hand. Here are the last grafs of the story:

... The morning after the election, Duffy said there “may be some decisions I have to make — personnel, programmatic … If tough decisions need to be made up through the end of the year, I will make those and not put those off onto someone else’s plate.” At the time, it seemed the comment referred to potential mid-year budget cuts.

Duffy said Friday that the change in police leadership was one he and Moore reached together. Moore echoed that in the later news conference, saying he was not forced out and “there is no dissatisfaction at all.”

“This is a decision that I’ve thought about for a number of months,” the chief said. “I think it’s time to reflect and move on. The transition (to a new city administration) is happening.”

Pressed further, however, Moore said: “When is it a good time to say it’s a good time to move on, when you absolutely love the … people who work in this department?”

Moore said Duffy “has always made public safety his No. 1 agenda,” and Sheppard was someone the officers would follow.

“I serve at the pleasure of the mayor,” Moore said. “I knew that coming in. I realize that now.”
