Ossining Village Board Of Trustees Appoints New Trustee

John Codman III was appointed and sworn in as a Trustee of the Village of Ossining at last night’s regular meeting. Codman will be filling the vacancy left in the wake of Trustee Janis Castaldi’s resignation on September 22.

“We are very pleased and very proud that John is joining us,” said Ossining Mayor William Hanauer. “He has skills and talents that will compliment and skills and talents of the board.”

Codman’s term will be effective immediately and will expire on December 31, 2012, which would have marked the end of Castaldi’s term. Castaldi resigned in September due to conflicts with work and personal issues that would interfere with her ability to serve the residents of Ossining.

“Well John we are very glad you are joining us,” said Hanauer during the swearing in of the new Trustee. “Congratulations you are one of us now.”

Following the swearing in, the board took a brief recess to celebrate the appointment with cake and coffee.

“I’m very excited, but we also have many challenges in the Village,” said Codman. “We have a tough budget, but we will do the best we can.”
