Salary Commission June 8, 2023 ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. So, the BU that—the first two -digit number represents the bargaining unit the included bargaining unit, which the collective bargaining agreements cover—and the second two -digit number is the excluded counterparts. MS. GREEN13AUM: Excluded ah, gotcha. Good. Okay. ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: And the final document is the "Executive Salary Jurisdiction Comparisons" I think, which would be very helpful in your discussions (SEE ATT. E, COMM. NO. 23-06). But, as you'll see, this is the State of Hawaii executive salary comparisons for City and County of Honolulu, Maui, Kauai, and the State of Hawaii. So, as you all may know, a couple of these jurisdictions are currently working on their increases for their executives. And so, an updated version of this will be provided at the time we get those approved salaries by jurisdiction. So, this document will likely be updated in the next couple of months. Any other discussion? I do have to go back on the agenda and, for the record, I do want to indicate DCC Cody did provide the informational briefing. So, I'd like to read that, for the record. "Informational Briefing by Deputy Corporation Counsel Dakota "Cody" Frenz. The informational briefing may include, but is not limited to, the following: Expectations and responsibilities of the Salary Commission; and Salary information and practices." New Business (Item 6) ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: We are not moving onto Item number 6, "New Business (for discussion and appropriate action)." 6. A. Election of Salary Commission Chair and Vice -Chair (Previously taken out of order.) 6. B. Creation Of Permitted Interaction Groups For Salary Commission Inquiries ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: So, we're going to move on to Item 6B. MS. FRENZ: All right. Good morning, this is DCC Cody. We had a conversation earlier about the creation of a PIGa "P -I -G" it stands for "Permitted Interactive Group." Is that something that this Commission feels ready to discuss or is that agenda item that you would like to table to our next hearing—kind of, digest the information that's been discussed today, decide—take a look at all of the—I think that these sheets Director Leopoldino provided, which is Communication 23-04, "Pay Plan for Executives and Elected Officials" these are the people that you will have to be deciding pay increases for, if any, for example.
