Planning's consultant line falls from $50,000 to $25,000 after a transfer to the city engineer, and grant writer Kevin McDonough reported about $5.4 million in grants this year. City Auditor Charlie Doherty cited four new city-side positions: a recreation coordinator, a library youth services professional and two DPW truck drivers. He said he would have the member names ready the following Monday.
