 Lowville, NY- Lewis County
Manager Ryan Piche will be leaving his position, effective October 1, 2024,
to take on a similar role in neighboring Jefferson County.
Mr. Piche, an
Adams Center native, will be moved forward for appointment as the final
candidate for the position of Jefferson County Administrator by the
Jefferson County Board of Legislators at a special meeting on Tuesday, June
18 at 6 p.m., confirmed in a notice
announcing the special meeting. Long-time Jefferson County
Administrator Robert F. Hagemann, III announced his intention to retire
from the role earlier this year, opening the vacancy for the position.
Mr. Piche has
confirmed to linkinglewiscounty.com that he will be accepting the
appointment but wishes to wait until the appointment is officially made on
Tuesday evening before discussing further. We’ll have an on-camera
interview with Mr. Piche on Wednesday, with further details and comments at
that time.
The Lewis County
Board of Legislators first appointed Mr. Piche as County Manager at their
June 6, 2017 meeting, with Mr. Piche starting the
position on June 21, 2017. At the time of his appointment, he was serving
as the City Manager in Caro, Michigan and had previously served as the
Village Administrator in Botkins, Ohio. He holds a Bachelor’s
Degree from Le Moyne College and Master of Public Administration
Degree from the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy at the
University of Albany. His term as
Lewis County Manger was last extended by the Board of Legislators in
January, running through December 31, 2025.
The process for
finding a new Lewis County Manager is expected to begin when the Lewis
County Board of Legislators hold their committee meetings on Tuesday, June
18.
This is a
developing story with more to come in the days and weeks ahead.
