EAST LIVERPOOL During Thursday afternoon’s Community Improvement Corporation meeting, members agreed to move $35,000 to its checking account to acquire an executive director.
According to board president Pat Scafide, the money would be withdrawn from its Field of Dreams 2020 checking account, which currently has $169,579 in it from proceeds stemming from lease revenues generated out at the McCoy Avenue baseball complex.
Currently Safety-Service Director David Dawson still is the interim planning director until the city fills the position. In the past, the planning director has received no compensation for acting as the executive director of the CIC.
Scafide said that they are hoping the $35,000, which is designed to be a one-time payment, will prove attractive to find the right candidate for the job.
