session for newly-elected Trustees Larry Kraus and Dan Svarczkopf , and more changes were afoot during the board ’ s annual organizational meeting prior to the regular board meeting . With former Deputy Mayor Sean Hoffman opting not to run for re-election this spring , Walden Mayor Susan Rumbold was tasked with choosing a new deputy , and Trustee Faith Moore was announced as her pick during the session .
Rumbold said she thought Moore is the perfect person for the job . “ There were numerous reasons , but mainly because of her commitment to our community through her job at OCRDAC ( Orange County Rural Development Advisory Corporation ) and all of the volunteerism that she does ,” Rumbold said of her decision to select Moore . “ I just thought that she would be a really good fit . She has to chair meetings in my stead and go to various events that I can ’ t get to . So I think she was a good fit and most of it was her commitment to the community .”
Moore said she gladly took the job because it can potentially allow her to make a positive impact in the village . “ I chose to accept it because I feel like I can make a difference , which is the whole reason I chose to run for elected office anyway ,” Moore explained . “ Through my experience in the community and my personal and professional experience , I felt like I can make a difference and this appointment allows me to do that on a larger scale .”
Considering that she has only served one year so far on the board , Moore said she was caught off guard but happy when the mayor asked her to serve as her deputy . “ I was extremely surprised and very humbled and grateful that she offered that ,” Moore said . “ I ’ m looking forward to serving the community .”
During the organizational meeting , the board also received new liaison assignments , as Deputy Mayor Moore will serve as the liaison to the Walden Police Department and the Justice Department , Trustee John Ramos will serve as the liaison to the Department of Recreation and Parks and the Valley Central School Board , Trustee Brian Sebring will continue to be the liaison to the Department of Public Works , Trustee Lynn Thompson will be the new liaison to the Planning and Zoning Boards and the Building Department , Trustee Dan Svarczkopf will serve as the liaison to the Village Clerk , Treasurer and the Finance Department and Trustee Larry Kraus will be the new liaison to the Town of Montgomery and the Library Board .
