Village attorney departs for county post; board hires Elizabeth Cassidy and OKs temporary CO agreement for R&L site
Summary
Attorney Kelly Naughton announced her departure to the Orange County Attorney’s Office; the board accepted her resignation with regret, hired Elizabeth Cassidy as village counsel, and authorized an agreement allowing R&L to obtain a temporary certificate of occupancy while non-life-and-safety items are addressed under bond and inspections.
Mayor Dennis Leahy informed the Board that Village Attorney Kelly Naughton has accepted a position with the Orange County Attorney's Office and would be leaving private practice. The Board accepted her resignation with regret and unanimously approved hiring Elizabeth Cassidy as the village's new legal counsel.
Attorney Naughton described an agreement prepared to address outstanding issues at the R&L site, saying it "will allow them to obtain a temporary CO, and open and operate while some of the other issues that are not life & safety are addressed." The agreement requires posting a bond and monthly inspections; the Board authorized the Mayor to enter into the agreement by motion that passed 4-0.
Naughton thanked the village for the opportunity when she started her practice. The minutes record the transition and the Board's authorization for the temporary certificate-of-occupancy agreement but do not include the full text of that agreement.
