CORTLAND – Cortland officials are considering the future of the town administrator position as the contract expires in April.

The town administrator position, held by Walter Magdziarz, was created three years ago to help with daily operations and keep elected officials updated on important changes to state laws and regulations that affect municipalities, said Town President Robert Seyller.

With the first four-year contract set to expire in April, Seyller said town trustees must decide whether to extend the contract, make the position a permanent town employee, eliminate it or establish new responsibilities and roles for what Seyller called a now-vital position. The contract expiration coincides with the end of the mayor’s term.
