First Selectwoman Diane G. Farrell today announced the resignation of Kevin Murowsky as Westport deputy assessor.
In a brief statement, Farrell said Assessor William Gaffney will be posting a job opportunity notice for the position in the coming days.
Farrell put Murowsky on paid administrative leave July 12, four days after she was notified that a Town Hall office was missing $500 in cash and $2,000 worth of electronic equipment. (See WestportNow July 20 ,2004)
While Farrell did not directly link Murowsky to a police investigation of the theft, a Town Hall source has told WestportNow that he was being questioned in the probe.
Police Chief Alfred R. Fiore said today he had “nothing new” on the status of the investigation.
In her statement, Farrell said, “Once the opening has been posted, interested applicants should get in touch with the Westport Personnel Department at 341-1090.”
The First Selectwoman noted that the Representative Town Meeting at its meeting this week approved an appropriation of $673,500 allowing the town to hire an appraisal firm to perform a full physical revaluation.
I am very pleased that the building permit update project is moving forward and that the town is now able to begin the real estate property revaluation process,Ӕ she said.
