According to a Warren County Board of Supervisors Special Meeting Agenda circulated at 9:18 a.m. Wednesday morning, less than two hours before the meeting’s 11 a.m. starting time, County Administrator Doug Stanley will be terminated following a closed session this morning.
Following immediate adjournment to closed session, the first action item is “Employment of the County Administrator – Action Requested”.
That is followed by “Employment of Interim County Administrator and Interim Clerk”.
The county administrator also serves as board clerk. Emily Ciarrocchi is deputy clerk.
Following his mid, late-1990’s hiring as county planning director, Stanley was appointed county administrator, initially serving in both positions before the hiring of Taryn Logan to fill the planning director’s role. Stanley has served as county administrator for 20 years.
Stay tuned for a report on this morning’s board action as it unfolds in front of the Royal Examiner camera.
