DEARBORN Alan Wozniak will celebrate his 30th anniversary with the citys Human Resources Department on Jan. 20.

On Tuesday night, though, he got to celebrate something different being named as the departments administrator.

The City Council voted 6-0 to appoint him to the top post. Council President Thomas Tafelski was absent because he was ill.

Wozniak, 57, was one of 20 applicants. Eight were offered interviews; seven accepted. The field was narrowed to three before he was picked.

The city has about 650 full-time and about 800 part-time employees.

Wozniak began with the city as a personnel specialist, working his way up to senior human resources analyst. Along the way, he earned a masters degree in general administration from Central Michigan University in 1991.

He said after the meeting that being named administrator was a goal of his.

I enjoy the challenge and the opportunity, he said.
