WARREN COUNTY NAMES MOORE AS NEW ADMINISTRATOR
WITH BOREAS SIGNED, STAKEHOLDERS PIVOT TO UMP
Former Westchester senior budget analyst hired
DEC to host public hearing on April 3 at Newcomb Central
By Christopher South STA FF W RITER
LAKE GEORGE | The Warren County Board of Supervisors named Westchester County Senior Budget Analyst Ryan Moore as the county’s new full-time administrator effective April 9. Moore will replace acting county administrator Kevin Geraghty, who has been filling the position since March 2016 after the retirement of Paul Dusek, who was in the job 20 years. “Warren County needs a full-time administrator and we got the best candidate,” Geraghty said. “He’s a people person, extremely knowledgeable, and based on talking to former bosses in Saratoga County, a tireless worker.”

Stakeholders also recounted Conley’s efforts to combat bullying and protecting student safety. Community members implored the board to keep Conley — or at least table their decision and give it more consideration. Todd Earl, parent and alumnus, said the decision was made without appropriate input from the community. “This restructuring plan was formulated without collaboration with school professionals, and was discussed in board meetings that were closed to the public,” Earl said. » Eliminated post Cont. on pg. 15
