(Jan. 19, 2017) After only about a month on the job, Ocean Pines has parted ways with its network administrator, Paul Fazzalaro.
Board President Tom Herrick, last Friday, confirmed Fazzalaro “didn’t work out.”
“He didn’t fulfill our needs and it was unfortunate, but it does happen,” he said.
The association has struggled to fill that position for several years, often budgeting for, but not hiring an information technology specialist. Herrick, however, was optimistic a replacement could be found and said that could be aided by an IT workgroup formed last fall.
“Thank God we have that committee, because that committee is doing a great job assessing what we need and where we need to go in the future,” Herrick said.
“We have a lot of people in this community that have a lot of different intelligences in different fields, and it’s nice to be able to tap into that. It’s great to be able to do that, and it’s great that they’re willing to volunteer.”
Herrick said there could be several qualified applicants left over from the previous search who could fulfill the role, and that the workgroup and interim General Manager Brett Hill were looking into it.
“It’s a position that we have a need for,” Herrick said.
Hill announced the hiring of Fazzalaro during a public meeting on Dec. 5, noting that he came from Tennessee and had family in West Ocean City.
“I think he brings a very valuable skillset that’s really going to be a great asset to us,” Hill said at the time.
According to a press release issued last month, Fazzalaro was previously the deputy director of IT operations and a senior project manager at the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services.
