Richmond City Council soon could be looking for a new chief of staff.

Lou Brown Ali, who has held the post since 2011, may be on her way out.

Asked Tuesday, she confirmed that she might be resigning, “but I’ll learn more about that later.”

Ms. Ali reportedly has sent a resignation email to the council.

City Council is scheduled to hold a closed session next Monday, Dec. 17, to consider Ms. Ali’s employment.

Ms. Ali, who earlier served as city clerk, was appointed chief of staff to succeed Daisy Weaver, who retired. — JEREMY M. LAZARUS
