Vanderpool worked as assistant village manager in Skokie for 11 years, from 1993 until 2004, according to his LinkedIn.com profile. He then became city manager of Sterling Heights, which has roughly twice Skokie's population, and is the fourth largest city in Michigan.

The paper said Vanderpool told Skokie he will only take the job if he receives the same salary Rigoni is receiving, $250,000.
