The mayor introduced Mark Seaman as the incoming business administrator for the City of Paterson and said Seaman will start on Monday. "I'm proud to introduce to Paterson our incoming business administrator, Mr. Mark Seaman," the mayor said.
Nut graf: Seaman, who the mayor said served as deputy county administrator in Passaic County and has municipal experience, told residents his priority is to work with administrative and financial staff to find ways to transition the city off transitional aid and to reduce costs over time.
Seaman said he will work with staff and financial professionals and that introducing the city’s budget gives the state an opportunity to see the city’s request; "My goal is to find ways to eventually transition off of transitional aid," he said. He described the work as a group effort and said it "will take some time." Seaman asked for residents’ patience while he learns the operations and meets staff.
Ending: City officials said Seaman’s hiring was intended to bring management experience and a focus on creative fiscal strategies; no start-date contingencies or formal vote were announced at the town hall.
