Retired and rehired, Conglose returns

YOUNGSTOWN — Although he found going through a civil service process for the city’s traffic coordinator position insulting, the recently retired deputy director of public works on Monday starts the part-time job that pays up to $42,576.96 annually.

Carmen S. Conglose Jr. becomes the second city employee who took an early-retirement incentive to be rehired.

Mayor Jay Williams makes no apologies about the rehiring of Conglose and Kathleen Timlin-Wiley saying the city was gaining invaluable experience from longtime employees at a discounted rate.

“We’re doing what’s best for the city both economically and from an experience standpoint,” he said. “...There’s no sweetheart deals here.”
