The city's economic task force recommending a new position is created for someone to act as a liaison between Common Council and Enterprise Saint John.
The suggestion is one of four recommendations to help the two bodies align their priorities and improve communication.
Councillor Donnie Snook says he doesn't want to make a decision until he knows what it's going to cost the city. He says anytime you add a new position it's going to cost the city money.
Councillor Gary Sullivan says the city put the task force together for a reason, and if everyone says a new position is needed than that's what council should do.
