Port Chester looks to combine treasurer, clerk jobs
PORT CHESTER - Mayor Dennis Pilla is proposing to merge the village's clerk and treasurer positions, and to give the current treasurer a raise to take over the combined job.
The move is part of a broader proposal from the mayor to reorganize portions of Port Chester's government that also includes creating a legal department that answers to the Board of Trustees instead of the village manager.
A public hearing is set for both proposals Tuesday. The village board will vote on both items following the hearing.
"We're trying to improve the overall efficiency of the village," Pilla said. "We're taking on more of a private-sector model."
Pilla said the clerk-treasurer proposal was prompted after Keith Rang's resignation as clerk in June.
The mayor said Rang "has been difficult to replace," and that the village has had difficulty finding a clerk candidate with strong management experience. Also, Treasurer Anthony Siligato's office is "understaffed," Pilla said.
Pilla said merging the remaining employees in the clerk's office with the treasurer's office could help Siligato focus on more management responsibilities.
"This is the best efficiency move to make here," Pilla said.....

PORT CHESTER - A village man reported that an intruder, wielding a shotgun and wearing a mask like Jason in 'Friday the 13th,' kicked open his door last night and stole his car keys.
Police didn't see the alleged assailant when they responded but noted that the door indeed had been damaged, said Port Chester police Lt. James Ladeairous
A 25-year-old resident of 55 Grove St. called 911 shortly before 11 p.m. to report that a suspicious man was knocking on the door to his basement apartment. The caller said he peered through the window curtain and saw that a guy in a white hockey mask and black clothing was pointing a gun at him. The resident ran upstairs to a connecting first-floor apartment to hide.
By the time police arrived, the reported gunman was nowhere to be found, though Ladeairous noted the door latch had been kicked free and the knob had been busted.
"He said he had no idea why the man was there," Ladeairous said. "He said nothing appeared to be missing from his apartment except his car keys, which were on a ring inside the house."...
