Yellow Springs News (ysnews.com) is reporting that Hillsboro deputy law director Laura Curliss of Wilmington has been hired as the interim manager for Yellow Springs.
Village Council President Judith Hempfling made the announcement Wednesday, Jan. 11, the News reported.
According to Yellow Springs News, "Curliss will take the place of Village Manager Mark Cundiff, who is leaving the position to become manager of Sidney, Ohio. Curliss will officially begin her position on Feb. 6, although she will meet informally with village officials before then," Hempfling said.
"For the past six years, Curliss has served as executive assistant to the mayor of Wilmington, until his defeat in November 2011. In January 2012 she was hired to be assistant law director for Hillsboro, a position she will continue on a very part-time basis."
As reported in The Highland County Press on Jan. 3, Curliss was the executive assistant to former Wilmington mayor David Raizk for seven years. She was an assistant prosecutor for the Clinton County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, and she has worked as a teacher and a judicial law clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
According to a press release, "Her legal experience includes criminal prosecution, government contracts, grants, fire district matters, insurance and risk management, compliance management and economic development transactions." She has served on the Miami Valley Risk Management Association, the Downtown Wilmington Community Improvement Corporation, Clinton County Open Lands and the Clinton County Trails Coalition.
Hillsboro Mayor Drew Hastings referred to Curliss as an "unpaid adviser" in his campaign for mayor and said that he sought her expertise when it came to learning about municipal administration.
"She has a lot of education on municipal government. It was a lot easier for me to go to the city of Wilmington and get clear, unbiased answers than to deal with my own hometown. She brings a level of expertise to this position that's really invaluable. I don't know if you will necessarily see her all the time, (but) the results of her work with the administration.
"I think that position of deputy law director will probably be somewhat busier than than it has been in the past because I think we have an aggressive agenda," Hastings said. "You'll see a lot more out of that position, I think, than you have in the past."[[In-content Ad]]
