AUBURN -- Cayuga County Ways and Means Committee members passed a resolution appointing Stephen Lynch as the county's new director of planning Monday night.
Lynch, the current director of planning and economic development for Auburn, has completed the county's recruitment process for the director position that according to the resolution "is critical for the continuity of services and programs for the citizens of Cayuga County."
The county legislature still needs to approve the resolution tonight to officially offer the position to Lynch and then enter into a contract with him.
"I anticipate he will take the job. But he has not yet formally been offered the job so he cannot formally accept it," said Chris Palermo, chairman of the county economic development committee.
If Lynch accepts the position, the county has set his salary at $67,500. He will replace David Miller once he officially retires from the position.
Lynch has told the county he will need to give the city more than two weeks notice before leaving his current job because of a number of ongoing projects he is working on.
Six candidates were originally interviewed for the position, including two from the county.
Lynch applied for his job with the county before John Salomone announced his resignation as Auburn city manager.
