Having the title doesn’t neces- . sarily mean the work is glamor- ous. In addition to working with the maintenance crew, Kraynack _. does “an awful lot” of paperwork as the district clerk of works. “There are change orders, re- '. quests for information, schedul- ing conflicts - everyday problems * that come up on the job,” he said. “Unfortunately, it’s not a perfect world - what it says on paper is not always what the earth is like.” He said keeping up with kL change orders has been a big is- sue in this project — the board has already approved $888,317 in construction change orders and officials are unsure how much of that money will be reimbursed to the district. “We're still under 2 percent of the total project cost for the new building, and that’s where you want to be when it comes to change orders,” said Kraynack. Change orders might be why Kraynack, along with Bob Nesbit of Crabtree Rohrbaugh and Asso- ciates, the project architect, are double and triple-checking pa- perwork daily to ensure accuracy at this point. Kraynack said Nesbit, whom the board depends on for con- struction updates during meet- ings, is more like a cousin these days than a colleague. “It’s almost like we're related,” he said. Keeping in close contact with the construction crews is anoth- er big part of Kraynack’s job. He said being from an “on-the- ground” background, he aims to work with each crew member in- dividually to ensure the job pace was flowing smoothly. And that means shaking hands with every- one, even when the number of on-site workers swells to 300 or more. “If I really want to know some- thing, I go to the source,” he said. “It’s a big advantage because it’s like I'm speaking their language. Yes, I know them by name and become friends with all of them. I still see some contractors I've worked with all the way back in 1997.” The Trucksville native said, even though his job demands much of his time, he’s still happy when it’s over.” There’s still part of Kraynack that can’t wait until vacation, though — he plans to take his wife, Susan, on a three-week trip with his position after all these years. “Every day I come around that corner, I'm still smiling,” he said. “If I don’t smile anymore, that’s © PUZILE ANSWERS to Disney World in Florida in Ja- nuary for the first time. “Since I've had this job I've never really taken more than a week ... I need it,” he said.
