Former New Rochelle City Manager Tapped As Interim Village Manager

MAMARONECK, NY — While the Village of Mamaroneck searches for a permanent village manager, a familiar face in local government will take on an interim leadership role.

Charles Strome has been named the new part-time interim village manager for the Village of Mamaroneck. He will serve in that position until the Village of Mamaroneck Board of Trustees appoints a new permanent village manager.

He was appointed by the board on April 1, and will work with Deputy Village Manager Dan Sarnoff.

Strome began his career with the City of New Rochelle in 1989 as director of emergency services. In 1992, he was named the assistant city manager. He was appointed deputy city manager in 1995, acting city manager in April 2002 and then city manager in November 2002.

Strome helped lead the city through economic challenges, including a recurring state tax cap, the financial collapse of 2008 and most recently, the global pandemic.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from Washington and Lee University and a master's degree in public administration from Pace University. He has two children and lives in Tarrytown.
