DAYTONA BEACH — Barring an unexpected turn of events, it appears Deputy City Attorney Ben Gross will become Daytona Beach's next city attorney in a little over a month. Gross signed an employment agreement with the city on April 26, and city commissioners are expected to approve the contract at their May 17 meeting. They had been slated to vote on the five-page agreement at their meeting Wednesday night, but City Manager Deric Feacher said he wanted to delay that decision because the city commissioner who helped develop the contract was unable to attend this week's meeting.
