Two deputies are better than none County Administrator hires from within for deputy positions

By Jamie Swinnerton Tompkins Weekly

fter what the county is calling an extensive national search, two experienced countyA administrators were tapped to jointly serve as Deputy County Administrator to Tompkins County Administrator Jason Molino. Lisa Homes has served as the Director of the Tompkins County Office for the Aging since 2006 and will serve as the Deputy County Administrator of Operations and Administration. Amie Hendrix has served as the Director of Tompkins County Youth Services since 2010 and will serve as the Deputy County Administrator of Performance and Innovation. Originally, Molino was only looking to fill the existing deputy position, but during the search, Molino said he realized there was an opportunity for a second deputy to fill a specific role focusing on county performance. “As we went through the interview process we saw some Photo by Jamie Swinnerton candidates really rise to the top of At the July 17 meeting of the county legislature, when the legislature passed a resolution to move money from the con- the pool and thought that there were tingency fund to create a second deputy county administrator position.

The build must be finished in the six days that have already been scheduled so it’s vital that the Friends get the necessary number of volunteers to finish on time. “That’s how Play By Design operates,” Raley said. After those six days, the company will be off to another community build somewhere else. But Raley is hopeful about the volunteer sign-up. “What I’ve heard is that as people come, they love it and they come back,” he said. But it’s not just volunteers that are needed. Raley said the Friends of Stewart Park are also in need of donated tools such as drills, extension cords, hammers, levels, table saws, post hole diggers, rakes, circular saws, sawhorses, shovels, speed squares, and tape measures, among others. The tools will only be used during the build and will be given back to the owners when the build is complete. During the build, they will be kept in a tools trailer manned by a volunteer who has experience being a part of multiple community build projects. Volunteers with tools can contact Raley at lucas@friendsofstewartpark. org.
