Addison poised to hire new village manager

Addison's recently retired deputy police chief has been tapped to become the village's next manager.

The village board is scheduled to vote Monday on the appointment of Joseph Maranowicz to Addison's top administrative post.

Maranowicz is expected to take the helm immediately. He will replace Joe Block, who retired more than a year ago after 32 years with the village.

Maranowicz, a 20-year veteran of the Addison Police Department, last served as deputy police chief of the support services division. He has a bachelor's degree in management from DeVry University and a master's degree in public safety administration from Lewis University.

"I'm excited to start a new chapter while staying here in Addison," Maranowicz said in a news release. "I have big shoes to fill, but I appreciate the mayor's and village board's openness to new ideas. I'm looking forward to working with the whole staff."
