Town Adds Two to the Ethics Board

The Huntington Town Board, at its February 10 meeting, appointed two members to the Town’s Board of Ethics, bringing the board up to its full complement of five members.

Named to the Ethics Board were Huntington resident Sam Miller, a longtime official with the New York regional office of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Sheryl Randazzo, an attorney who lives in Northport and practices in Huntington.

Mr. Miller is vice chair of the Huntington Arts Council and a former member of the board of commissioners of the Huntington Housing Authority and has a career spanning 30 years in public service positions related to human rights, housing and community development.

Ms. Randazzo is a past president of the Suffolk County Bar Association who lectures frequently to

attorneys, other professionals and the public regarding elder law, estate planning, practice management and professional ethics. She has served as an officer and board member of the Family Service League of Suffolk County.

Mr. Miller and Ms. Randazzo will join Louis C. England, Ralph W. Crafa and Edward William Billia on the board, bringing it up to its full complement of five members. Mr. Miller’s term runs until December 31, 2017 and Ms. Randazzo’s until December 31, 2018.

“I welcome these two distinguished Huntington residents to the Ethics Board and thank them for their willingness to serve,” Supervisor Frank P. Petrone said. “I look forward to their efforts in implementing the provisions of the Town’s new ethics code.”

Last June, the Town Board, approved sweeping revisions to the Town’s Code of Ethics, expanding who must file a disclosure statement and what must be disclosed, as well as including a comprehensive code of conduct for Town employees. The revised code also requires the Ethics Board to meet at least once each quarter; previously the requirement was only for an annual meeting. Ethics Board members serve without compensation.
