Salary Commission June 8, 2023 MS. FRENZ: This is DCC Cody. I just wanted to, just to clarify, it's this is a compensation plan for the County of Hawaii. It is and it's in the format as it currently is found. So, manipulating it thereafter may not be something that's the department of human resources can or wants to do necessarily. I can't speak for them. But this is the format in which it's found for anyone and everyone. And just as a reminder, this is not specific to the task before you. These are examples. These provide you guidance. These are not the salaries in which this Commission will need to worry about. So, just providing you that guidance for what all of the bargaining units positions, where they're at, where their increases will be, how they come across those, and how they're going to continue to step up, so to speak, pay raise -wise. So, I would hate for you guys to worry too much about this particular one in the sense that you need to know what the range is, apply it to with the codes, for example. This is just a reference for you to see if you wanted to compare—"Hey that highest SR rating is at this and they have continued to step increase at this percentage over this many years" it's just a guide should you decide to follow a similar template. But, again, these are not this particular handout is not specific to the task before you. MS. NAKAMA: Thank you, Commissioner Cody—Corporation Counsel—sorry. ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. Moving on to the next document, "Pay Plan for Executives and Elected Officials." County Of Hawaii Pay Plan For Executives And Elected Officials (Effective March 1, 2018) ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: I think this is the key document that this is, I guess, the goal of this Commission is to develop this this is your end product, I guess. But I want to introduce this as our current pay plan for executives and elected officials. This is the last pay plan that was decided by the last Salary Commission. And, as you can see, I don't have to go into detail—but it lists all the department heads and deputies, and their current salaries effective March 1st 2018 (SEE ATT. C, COMM. NO. 23-04). MR. NELSON: This is Nelson. Just—I wanted to ask—I guess I wasn't clear that—are we setting the mayor's salary? Yeah—okay, everybody on this list, this is the salary. ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. Page 27
