Merit Appeals Board December 18, 2019 <br /> So, if we're not cutting edge, if our knowledge base is delayed or is based on something that <br /> happened a year ago and there's no new information, we're not providing our clients the best <br /> level of service that I think is possible. So, that's one of the areas that I identified as where we <br /> need continuous training and that's why I put that as a supplemental budget request. <br /> One of the things that was identified in our budget review was that we have two manager <br /> positions open. So,just to let you know, as far as our Classification and Pay Manager, we I <br /> filled that—I offered that position to a current employee who interviewed—and she accepted the <br /> position. She'll be starting on January 16th in that capacity. So, she'll be our classification and <br /> pay manager. <br /> The second management position I have open is our ADA/EEO Coordinator, Julie Rawlins. She <br /> retired at the end of November. We did a recruitment for that position in anticipation of her <br /> retirement. And we have four qualified applicants and we'll be conducting interviews with them <br /> in the next week or two, and we'll get that position filled as well. <br /> We should be able to get that position filled with a really good candidate. We're hoping for <br /> applicants from Corp. Counsel, but J refused to apply. <br /> MR. YOSHIMOTO: That was a joke, for the record. <br /> MR. BRILHANTE: He said he's happy where he is. <br /> And then, labor update. As you know, I'm continually involved in labor negotiations with four <br /> labor unions: SHOPO, Fire, HGEA, and UPW. We've settled with SHOPO, we've settled with <br /> Fire, and we settled with UPW. <br /> There's so many different units in HGEA although we've settled with four of the units there's <br /> three units still unsettled. Unit 4 is awaiting the Arbitrator's decision and we will be starting new <br /> arbitrations for both Units 3 and 14. <br /> CHR. NAMAHOE: Like the largest one? <br /> MR. BRILHANTE: Yeah, Unit 3 is the largest. Unit 3 is set for arbitration the second week of <br /> January and then Unit 14, which is our water safety officers that's set for arbitration the third <br /> week of January. We're going to have the same arbitrator for both. <br /> CHR. NAMAHOE: So, 3, 4, and 14? <br /> MR. BRILHANTE: Yeah, but 4 is pretty much completed. So, we're just waiting—well, we're <br /> still going back and forth on proposed settlements with Unit 4, even though the hearing is done <br /> and everything, we're still communicating with their management crew to see if we can try reach <br /> some type of resolution. <br /> Page 23 <br />
