Youngstown mayor-elect sets next Monday as the deadline to submit applications for jobs in his cabinet
YOUNGSTOWN
Mayor-elect Jamael Tito Brown said those interested in joining his Cabinet must submit cover letters and resumes by 5 p.m. Monday.
Brown, a Democrat, said he will begin interviewing candidates immediately after the application deadline and wants to have as many of the jobs filled as possible by the time he takes office Jan. 1.
Those wanting to apply should go to mayorelectbrown.com to review job descriptions for open positions. Applications should be sent to mayorelectbrown@gmail.com.
“The goal to hire is Jan. 1, but I want to make sure I get the right people,” so it could take longer for some positions to be filled, Brown said.
The available positions are: city prosecutor, commissioner of buildings and grounds, deputy director of public works, director of parks and recreation, finance director, fire chief, law director, police chief and water commissioner.
The mayor-elect has selected a transition team to advise him on the hires.
The team includes:
Barbara Flinn, a retired Cleveland Clinic human resources director and currently a Youngstown State University adjunct instructor.
Germaine Bennett, a former Youngstown school district assistant superintendent of human resources.
Bill Binning, a former Youngstown State University political science department chairman.
William Weimer, vice president and general counsel for Phantom Fireworks.
Robert Kroner, former FBI special agent.
Wendy Webb, former Youngstown schools superintendent.
Robert Holton, retired director of marketing at Operating Engineers Local 66 union.
Ben McGee, former Youngstown schools superintendent.
The Rev. William King, pastor at Price Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.
Thomas DeGenova, retired Mahoning County deputy sheriff and currently a part-time YSU faculty member.
Andrew Profanchik, owner of Apco Construction Inc.
Brown said he expects to add other people to his transition team.
