HR director's housing status causing concern

Auburn's human resources director is not in violation of the city's residency requirement, according to the city manager. But some city leaders are concerned about confusion over where she lives.

Director of Human Resources Karen Green resides within the city of Auburn, City Manager Mark Palesh said Wednesday. When hired last year, she was given six months to relocate from her Sennett residence to a location in Auburn, and she did that, Palesh said.

Yet Green has also been serving as chair of the town of Sennett assessment review board, which requires its members to reside in that town. And Cayuga County Board of Elections records still have her listed as a resident of Taylor Road in Sennett.
