Kiriu, County Clerk 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, Hawaii 96720 a Dear Ms. Kiriu: This is to follow-up on our meeting of February 9, 2005 at which time we discussed civil service status vs. exempt status for council positions. Ms. Bobby Jean Leithead-Todd also attended and participated in these discussions. This is a summary of my understanding as to how I will determine which positions in the legislative branch (County Council) are civil service and which are not. First, 76-77, HRS, provides "§76-77 Civil service and exemptions. The civil service to which this part applies comprises all positions in the public service of each county, now existing or hereafter established, and embraces all personal services performed for each county, except the following: What follows is a listing of which positions/services are exempt from civil service. The Hawaii State Supreme Court in its Konno ruling ruled that all positions are civil service unless there is a specific exemption that says otherwise. There are two specific exemptions applicable to positions under the legislative branch. The first is §76-77(9), wherein positions of temporary election clerks in the office of the county clerk employed during election periods are identified as being exempt. Hawai'i County is an Equaf opportunity Pravida and Employer.
