KIM: I didn't mean to depress any of <br />4 <br />you. <br />5 <br />CHAIR: Go ahead, Deanna. <br />6 <br />MS. SAKO: Yes, Deanna Sako, Director of <br />7 <br />Finance. <br />8 <br />So, I just wanted to add, because I know on <br />9 <br />the agenda, what Glynis had sent, was kind of -- you <br />10 <br />know, the question was on the budget and what was <br />11 <br />included and whatnot, so salary increases, decreases, <br />12 <br />and status quo. So, when we prepared the budget, we <br />13 <br />knew that BU-12, which is police officers, and BU-1 had <br />14 <br />completed those negotiations, so those raises were <br />15 <br />included in the budget. And we knew that Fire, or <br />16 <br />BU-11, was in the process, so we estimated for them, as <br />17 <br />well as the five HGEA bargaining units that have not <br />18 <br />yet completed arbitration or negotiations -- based on <br />19 <br />what we knew about Police and UPW. <br />20 <br />So, we did put that provision for compensation <br />21 <br />adjustment in our budget and all of our funds so that, <br />22 <br />when the awards are made, we would have adequate, you <br />23 <br />know, budget there, because it would be too late, <br />24 <br />otherwise, to go in during the year to do it. So, we <br />25 <br />did make allowances for that. It is in the budget. <br /> <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br />(808) 933-9800 <br /> <br />
