Chung, Council Member <br /> Hawai`i County Council <br /> Re: Request Approval for Discussion During the November 14, 2017 <br /> Committee Day Schedule Regarding Battalion Chief Pay Grade <br /> We respectfully request time for a short discussion on the appropriate committee agenda on the <br /> November 14, 2017, Committee day to discuss changing the pay grade for the rank of Battalion <br /> Chief from EM-3 to EM-5. <br /> During the course of the Departmental Review for the 2017-2018 budget, I asked Fire Chief Rosario <br /> for his views on this matter and he indicated that he was in favor of changing the pay grade for this <br /> rank. However, subsequent to that, I had a discussion with former Human Resources Director <br /> Sharon Toriano who indicated her office's opposition to such change. <br /> It is my belief that the current arrangement hampers recruitment for the position and consequently <br /> affects public safety. Therefore, I am requesting a discussion on this matter. Upon approval of this <br /> request, we will be requesting that the Fire Chief,the Director of Human Resources and the Director <br /> of Finance participate in the meeting. I anticipate that this discussion should take approximately 30 <br /> minutes. <br /> Thank you. <br /> ASYC:awm <br /> Comm. No. CM <br /> Ref. To: FC- <br /> RM.
