Lakewood Village Hall
LAKEWOOD – The Jamestown Post-Journal says residents in Lakewood were at the village board meeting Monday night voicing their concerns to the possibility of creating a new administrative position.
At issue is whether the village should continue looking into the possibility of creating a village manager position.
More than 30 residents were on hand to hear the discussion and to also voice opposition to it.
The village is looking into the position because Mayor Cara Birrittieri has said she that while she is fulfilling her duties, she is committing herself full-time to a position that is treated as part-time.
A village manager would be in charge of overseeing committees and daily operations of the community. It would be a hired position, so those with specific skill sets and training would be vetted for such a position.
A local law would need to be introduced and approved by the village board as well as on a public referendum before any such position could be created.
