The governor will make the announcement at a 3 p.m. press conference that he's naming the former city councilwoman to the $135,000-a-year job.

Chick has built a reputation as a tough, no-nonsense auditor of city programs and was the first to report problems in contracting at the Department of Water and Power that led to the pay-to-play investigations of the administration of former Mayor James Hahn.
