Superintendent of Public Works John Mugford said McConnell has been perfoming all the duties of his new position, but without a proper title or pay.
Mugford also announced that Christmas tree pickup will begin Jan. 12. Some trees already have been picked up because storms blew them off the curbs, but the official date is still next week.
