Hackensack’s fire chief will take over the city’s top post following the sudden death of City Manager Ted Ehrenburg last month.
Ehrenburg, 64, died at his home overnight on March 31. A cause of death has not been released.
The city council voted unanimously Tuesday, with two members absent, to appoint Hackensack Fire Chief Thomas Freeman to the position of interim city manager until July 1.
During that time, city officials will conduct a search for a candidate to fill the position permanently, according to Steven Kleinman, the city attorney.
