Hawaii Government Employees Association 495 Manono Street, Hilo, Hawaii 96720, Phone (808) 935-6841, FAX (808) 961-2437 May 10, 2001 Chairman James Arakaki County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni St. Hilo, HI 9b720 _ Honorable Chairman Arakaki, , Re: Department of Liquor Control Budget Request Deleting Position Number 2114, Supervising Liquor Control Investigator and creating a new Administrative Officer I was informed May 9, 2001 that the Department of Liquor Control submitted a budget request to delete a Supervising Liquor Control Investigator position and to create a new Administrative Officer position. I am requesting that the position of Supervising Liquor Control Investigator not be deleted and no action be taken to create a new Administrative Officer position at this time. In accordance with our Unit 03 and 04 collective bargaining agreements, the employer is required to consult with the Union prior to implementing any major policy change affecting employee relations. This change is a reorganization within the Department of Liquor Control and constitutes a major policy change. Your attention is directed to the attached letter to Department Head Janice Pakele, dated April 12, 2001 in which we requested consultation. To date, consultation has not taken place. On May 9, 2001, we received a fax copy of a May 1, 2001 letter from Ms. Pakele confirming that the Liquor Control Supervising Investigator position has been deleted from the proposed budget FY 2001-2001, and although "we have included the position of Administrative Officer in the proposed budget FY 2001-2002 we have neither completed our review nor have we finalized the proposal". Finally, Ms. Pakele informed us that she is available to discuss our COffiCe]CP1S. WY~lYYf. 1V os / / ~ ' ~ / File No. ~ ~ Ref. To: ~ U,~1 C ~ t* Ref. Date ~I~,Y ~ Z~Q~ _ _
