Mayor Paul Whorrall of the Village of Manlius has been appointed to serve on the Employee Relations Policy Committee of the New York State Conference of Mayors (NYCOM). NYCOM’s president, Mayor James Miccio of the Village of Fishkill, made the appointment earlier this month.
As a member of the Employee Relations Policy Committee, Whorrall will be directly involved in providing policy recommendations to the NYCOM Executive Committee, developing positions on various pieces of legislation, and considering new legislative proposals that will benefit cities and villages. This committee will focus on a wide range of issues, including collective bargaining, civil service, public safety, health insurance and ethics.
In making the appointment, Miccio said, “Mayor Whorrall is a strong and outspoken supporter of local government. We are pleased to have him involved with NYCOM in this important undertaking which will only strengthen our organization’s advocacy efforts. I know Mayor Whorrall will be a tremendous asset to this process.”
The Conference of Mayors represents city and village governments in New York State and has 576 city and village members. NYCOM has been in existence since 1910.
