Civil Service approves classification for new superintendent of recreation; village to canvass eligible list
Summary
Village staff reported that New York State Civil Service has classified a newly created superintendent of recreation position and that an eligible list of candidates exists; staff said they will canvas the list and return with candidates for appointment.
Village staff told trustees that New York State Civil Service has classified a newly created superintendent of recreation position and that an eligible list of approximately 26 names now exists for the vacancy.
A staff member said the classification was approved and is effective “as of yesterday,” and that the eligible list does not expire until 2028. Staff said they will request and canvass the list and return to the board with candidates for appointment.
Why it matters: Staff framed the new classification as a foundational step to expanding recreation services for youth, seniors and adults in Elmsford. Trustees noted the classification closes a long‑running administrative gap and opens the hiring process.
Key details - Civil Service classification: staff said the Superintendent of Recreation classification was approved by Civil Service and is effective immediately. - Eligible list: staff said an existing eligible list contains roughly 26 names and that staff will access and canvass that list for appointment. - Next steps: staff will present the canvassed candidates to trustees for consideration once the request is processed.
Outcome: Not a board vote — Civil Service completed classification; staff will proceed with a recruitment/canvas. The work session transcript records the classification approval but does not record a hiring decision by the board.
