In answer to the question 'Should Daisy Lynum be allowed to pick and train her own replacement?': Consensus feels absolutely not, and they have evidence and/or personal experience as to why.
Why repeat an obvious mistake upon review i.e. past news articles on behavior, incidents of her abuse of office/power with law enforcement Ofc. McCoy, expensive travel on taxpayers remains an unknown as to how it was suppose to benefit the community; City Council Mtg. tapes of displayed inconsistent promises and positions on important issues voiced by the community, rudeness, arrogance, name-calling, scathing condescending behavior towards constituents who deserve respectful considerate professional decorum.

She was hoorayed into office 16 years ago with full support
and expectation of implementation. The very same mission for Parramore's and extended African Am. community chant as her mission 16 years later TODAY.
I read of Ms. Lynum's concern for 'her legacy' in the paper. Sadly, 16 years of inertia is not a legacy that anyone should seek to be proud of when it comes to professional performance and a downward spiraling relationship with those who supported her.
Ms. Lynum deserved a chance and got more than the one to
prove her worth as an excellent, dynamic leader. She's had both choice and opportunity to do the job effectively, efficiently and compassionately. Ms. Lynum had my vote. After being given 16 years to do the job effectively and efficiently even with a slow crawl of a start. Based upon that early mission chant, the community may be much less likely to place confidence and investment in another term in lieu of her performance.
In a standard workplace such employees have been fired for far less. Some express a shutter at the idea of a Lynum trainee being groomed to replicate her. Run the videos and pull the records and archives ! Regretfully her legacy is disappointment. Comedian, Jackie 'Moms' Mabley would say, "Don't Help Me(us), Help the bear!"
