Subcommittee approves posting and referrals for several facilities positions including night-shift supervisor and refrigeration technician

Administration presented a series of personnel items for the maintenance and custodial departments. The subcommittee approved several actions by roll call:

- Night‑shift custodial supervisor: The job description was revised to allow flexible hours as needed and a salary range of $70,000–$80,000. The subcommittee authorized posting the position with final hire subject to full-committee approval.

- Appliance/refrigeration technician: Administration proposed creating an in-house appliance/refrigeration technician to reduce reliance on outside vendors for kitchen and refrigeration repairs. The position would be paid from Nutrition funds but supervised by maintenance; the district would circulate preferred licensing qualifications and negotiate union placement. The subcommittee voted to approve the position and authorize administration to meet with the union negotiator before the full-committee posting.

- Carpenter/painter utility position: Administration proposed a combined carpenter/painter role to increase flexibility. Committee members expressed differing views about union implications and managerial flexibility; the subcommittee voted to refer the proposal to the full committee with no recommendation.

Committee members requested clearer job-description boilerplate and a cost analysis for the refrigeration position; administration said procurement and negotiations steps will be completed prior to posting to the full committee.
