Replacing the New Hyde Park Village Clerk/Treasurer

The Village board is interviewing candidates and trying to decide how to replace Patrick Farrell.

Village Clerk/Treasurer Patrick Farrell will be vacating that position at the end of this month to become Village administrator of Floral Park. Farrell's shoes will be "tough to fill", Mayor Daniel Petruccio said, but he's encouraged by the candidates that the Village board has already interviewed.

Petruccio noted that he wouldn't be adverse to separating the position of Clerk and Treasurer as was done before Farrell's predecessor, but that they might also find a candidate who could fill both positions. If the Village were to separate those two roles, it would probably not include two full-time employees, Petruccio said, noting that they would likely have a full-time Clerk and part-time Treasurer if that were the case.

The Village hopes to find Farrell's replacement in about two weeks.
