Rockland Exec. Elect Day's Transition Moving Forward

Rockland County Executive Elect Ed Day announced his transition team in mid-November, and since then they have been gathering information and meeting with county department heads and commissioners.

Day said Friday that he expects to complete phase one of his transition by meeting with the transition teem members daily this coming week. He said County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef has done a good job in making sure the county's department heads and commissioners were available to meet with transition team members. 

"From there, we will move on to phase two, which is formulating plans of action based on the information they gathered."

Day said he has also been interviewing candidates for his chief of staff, head of communications and one other position in the county executive's office. He said that he will announce his chief of staff "very soon." He added that the office will run less expensively than it has in the past. 

Day continues to serve as a Rockland County Legislator and will take office as Rockland County Executive in January.
