This item is deferred at this time. <br /> i <br /> 3 <br /> iii. Maui County Resolution No. 22-198 <br /> APPROVING FOR INCLUSION IN THE 2023 HAWAII STATE <br /> ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE A <br /> STATE BILL RELATING TO THE MINIMUM WAGE. 3 <br /> 3 <br /> 3 <br /> CM Johnson: This reso sets the min wage higher than the fed and the state. So <br /> counties would have the say. It is a home rule bill, enabling legislation, does not say <br /> 3 <br /> what we are going to x'15, etc, it allows each county to determine. We all know all j <br /> I <br /> counties can have different costs of living. The other thing is that we are seeing I <br /> 3 <br /> corporations are making record profits, if we wait for the state it can take several j <br /> years and it is not as nimble as the counties. <br /> I <br /> Jon Okudara: Need to be prepared for the reaction from the Chambers of commerce <br /> and businesses, they will look at it as if it is going to happen, and we need to be <br /> prepared on how to respond. Need to be prepared there is going to be a lot of I <br /> opposition. <br /> 3 <br /> CMPaltin: This will not affect collective bargaining, and we can also not go below I <br /> I <br /> what the minimum wage is and can only go higher. <br /> I <br /> i <br /> CAVI Waters:I imagine the legislature would be happy to give us this because then it <br /> becomes our issue. I could see this passing but Jon is right the business community <br /> i <br /> will come down on the counties. <br /> CAVI Kimball: Willing to support today and then expand the conversation and see <br /> what comes back. <br />
