Mayor-elect John McNally IV is retaining four current Cabinet members and will decide on the rest of the posts before taking office Jan. 1.

McNally, a Democrat who won the November general election, said Monday that he is keeping Harry L. Johnson III, water commissioner; Fire Chief John J. ONeill Jr.; Sean McKinney, buildings and grounds commissioner; and Finance Director David Bozanich.

Other Cabinet appointments will be made before the first of the year, McNally said.

Bozanich retired Dec. 28, 2012, and was rehired through the end of this year by Mayor Charles Sammarone.

Bozanich will serve as finance director while a search for his replacement is conducted, McNally said. Bozanich wants to leave city government soon, McNally said.

The incoming mayor said he intends to have a new finance director to city council by July 1, 2014. Council must confirm the mayors appointments to finance director under the city charter.
