City, School Department Talk About Sharing Finance Director

AJ:

The city administrator and superintendent of
schools have been working together on a proposal to hire a shared chief
financial planner--a new position that would replace the school department's
business manager and the city's finance director. The shared position fits into
Superintendent Reza Namin's plan to restructure the school department's
administration. That plan, which school board members approved last week,
includes eliminating four positions and consolidating two others to save more
than $500,000.
