King Slrcel <br /> Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 <br /> Dear Ms. Mansho, <br /> In light oClhc privaticalion issue which is plaguing the counties, it is apparent that the Civil Service laws <br /> aced a major overhaul. During the Stale of Hawaii legislative workshop which was held this past <br /> weekend, the suggestion to revamp the civil service laws was also made. <br /> 1 believe the time has come for sonic major chvlges; Alerefore, 1 would appreciate it very nmch if you <br /> would place Ute topic of Civil Service reform on your HSAC agenda and consider it as part of your <br /> legislative package. To expand on this concept, l would like to see: new labor laws based on employment <br /> contracts which would result in higher performance uld productivity by employees; restructuring of the <br /> salary system; removal oCcontpulsory union membership; and the establishment of five year perfonuancc- <br /> based contracts for division heads. <br /> This concept was introduced by Jim McLay, fonncr New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister altd forntcr <br /> Mcmbcr of the Parliament from 1975-1987. He is now Principal of JK McLay Limited in Aucklvld and <br /> Chairman of Macquarie New Zealand Lintilcd. He acts as consultant and adviser to a number of national <br /> and multiatalional companies. He is an expert on Pacific Basin affairs, with extensive background, <br /> cspcricncc and contacts in politics and business in the region. Under the public sector mmtagcnlcnl <br /> rcfonns. New Zealand has earned international conuuaidation 1'or its consistent business environment. <br /> [f you have any questions, please feel Gee to call me at 961-8265. I would be willing to help establish a <br /> committee to pursue this concept further. For your information, we arc also arranging for Mr. McLay to <br /> do a presentation in Hilo to enlighten our local residents. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> . ~ ' <br /> John Ray 1 ` <br /> Human Services & <br /> Economic Development Committee Chairman <br /> cc: AI Smith <br /> <br />
