Garrett Hoerner is the board-appointed attorney for the college but he is not considered an employee of the college so he was not included in the records released, a college spokesman said. The News-Democrat has filed a separate records request for the amount paid to Hoerner, who also serves as the city attorney for Belleville.

The BND’s Public Pay Database goes back to 2011 with information primarily obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests and public filings. The salary information does not always include insurance or benefits. Some records include detailed information on overtime and other pay, while for some districts that information was not readily available.
The database includes compensation for employees in most area governments, including cities, counties, townships, school districts and public colleges and universities. More pay records will be added as the BND receives salary data through open records requests.
