(Long Island, NY) Mayor Francis X. Murray has stepped in as the interim Village Administrator while the Board of Trustees conducts a comprehensive search to fill the position. Murray will be filling the role to streamline services at no cost to the Village. The vacancy was created after Keith Spadaro vacated the position to go into the private sector.
“The Board of Trustees has complete confidence in Mayor Murray to bring the highest level of experience and leadership, as well the professionalism of all the department heads and staff while a search is conducted,” commented Deputy Mayor Nancy Howard. “The Village will continue to provide all services and functions without any loss.”
In his new role, the Mayor will supervise nearly 20 departments and be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Village. At the same time the Mayor will continue to perform all duties as Mayor.
“Throughout his first term as mayor, Fran was both interested in and heavily involved in nearly every facet of Village government,” stated Michael Schussheim, Village Comptroller. “I have every reason to believe that he will be an outstanding interim village administrator.”
“The Village is conducting a thorough search to find a candidate who can demonstrate experience in strategic planning, public finance and intergovernmental relations,” commented Mayor Francis X. Murray. “The chosen candidate will assist the Board of Trustees in continuing to grow and develop this Village while holding down taxes by increasing efficiencies across every department and aggressively seeking grants and gifts. I look forward to filling the position until such a candidate is found.”
