Salary Commission June 8, 2023 MR. NELSON: Okay. `Cause I thought it was just department heads. I didn't know. Okay. All right, thank you. MS. FRENZ: Technically this is DCC Cody. The mayor is the department head for the County of Hawaii in that senseso, yes, you are adjusting the mayor's salary as well. Collective Bmainin2 Agreements ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: The last document on the item list here, is the "Scheduled Collective Bargaining Pay Increases" that Glynis had sent out (SEE ATT. D, COMM. NO. 23-05). So, the last round of negotiations, we went in to negotiate for all bargaining units in the County of Hawaii and we have it listed there on the cover transmittal memo to include Blue Collar, Blue Collar Supervisory, White Collar, White Collar Supervisory, Fire Fighters, Police Officers, Professional & Scientific, and Ocean Safety and Water Safety Officers. The charts that are attached will summarize for you, each of the bargaining units and the agreed upon increases for each and the timeline on the implementation of each of those increases. I can share with you some of the acronyms that may be foreign to you all. So, the "ATB" acronym that you'll see is "Across -The -Board" increasesI think that might be the only one. So, you'll see ATB used a lot. So, the you'll see in the first column the bargaining unit number and then a comma, and then another two -digit number. That's the excluded counterparts for each of these bargaining units. So, this is in alignment with Commissioner Nelson's comment where the excluded employees benefit from the negotiated increases for the corresponding contracts. So, again, this is for your review. I don't expect you all to go through each line item here but, again, this is part of the information for your consideration. MS. GREEN13AUM: So, I'm looking at this is Commissioner Greenbaum, District 9. I'm looking at page 2, pay increase from July `21 to June 30, `25. Is that what we're looking at? ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: You're—so you're looking at the memo dated June 6tn correct? MS. GREEN13AUM: Yes. ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Yeah. And so, the attached documents are the increases for all bargaining units. It's three pages. MS. GREENBAUM: Three pages. Okay, perfect. Thank you. And could you explain, again, what the "BU" and then the number, and the sequential number represent? Page 28
