<br /> <br />Page 15 <br />1 <br />CHAIR: Anymore? <br />2 <br />MR. MEDINA: Yeah, I have a comment. <br /> <br />3 <br />First, I wanted to ask for clarification. So, <br />4 <br />if we set a date, like an effective date – so, let's <br />5 <br />say we end up going with the January 2020 -- if we <br />6 <br />surpass that date, does that now become a retroactive <br />7 <br />date? Okay. So, that answers my question. <br />8 <br />MR. BRILHANTE: Well, in the past, that's how <br />9 <br />it's generally worked is that the raises, once they're <br />10 <br />approved, if there was a date certain set in that <br />11 <br />approving document, then we would retroactively start. <br />12 <br />MR. MEDINA: Okay. I get that. <br />13 <br />And the second thing I want to say is that I <br />14 <br />do agree with Tom in that I feel that, at least for the <br />15 <br />administration -- and maybe Florence's point is well <br />16 <br />taken -- maybe we need to deal with those guys <br />17 <br />separately, but these other bargaining units for which <br />18 <br />we're committed to, they're going forward; and so, I <br />19 <br />think that our job -- and to Milton's point -- is to be <br />20 <br />responsible and be good stewards of the money. But I <br />21 <br />think that, at this point, we should at least put it <br />22 <br />out there for public discussion and see what the public <br />23 <br />wants because I think Tom is right. If the public <br />24 <br />comes back and there's a big uproar, "No way," then <br />25 <br />we'll vote it down, obviously. So, that's my thought on <br /> <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br />(808) 933-9800 <br /> <br />
