Two other items were approved during the meeting: the Frank Bergman re-roof architectural design and the payroll coordinator position.
As far as the payroll coordinator discussion, Faust explained this position would involve the same level job as the original coordinator. The two would ideally work as a team to assist with payroll functions for the 1,600 school district staff members.
The salary for this position would be around $35,000-$37,000.
