Upper Waiakea), Aaron Chung (4th Dist. Lower Waiakea, <br /> Keaukaha), and AI Smith (5th Dist. Lower Puna) who voted in favor of funding the <br /> salary increases and ask their continued support. <br /> We ask that the following Council Representatives who voted against funding the <br /> salary increases to release re-consi r and v to in favor of the salagl increases: <br /> Bobby Jean Leithead-Todd (2nd Dist. Downtown Hilo, Kaumana), Joe Reynolds (7th <br /> Dist. Central Kona), Dominic Yagong (1st Dist. Hamakua Coast), John Ray (9th Dist. <br /> North 8 South Kohala), John Santangelo (6th Dist. Upper Puna, Kau, Southern Kona), <br /> and J. Curtis Tyler (8th Dist. Northern Kona) <br /> Negotiators bargained with the Employers in good faith for over a year. The employers <br /> made an offer which was accepted by the negotiators, and the members felt it was a <br /> fair settlement for everyone involved. Consequently, the negotiators for Units 03 and <br /> 04 brought the proposed contract back to the members who overwhelmingly approved <br /> it. We hope we are correct in understanding that funds have been set aside in the <br /> County budget for these salaries and increases; therefore, we appreciate your re- <br /> consideration to vote in favor of the proposal. <br /> Thank you. <br /> , ~ , ^r~:» <br /> <br />
