Decision likely near on Cayuga County emergency director

The search for a new director for the Cayuga County Emergency Management Office could soon come to a close, as a search committee for the position recently began interviewing several candidates.

The Emergency Management Office has been without a director or any full-time staff since earlier this year. In January, then newly-appointed Director W. Douglas Whittaker and Deputy Director Maureen Conley resigned, while Deputy Director Niel Rivenburgh was placed on administrative leave in February before later resigning.
