Salary Commission June 8, 2023 So, that's howso, that took at least two hearings, right, and which is two months' worth. So, the longer it takes to get that done, the longer it'll take to get a response and information for this Commission, as a whole, to consider. And because there are a lot of different appointing authorities on here, right. So, when you think about it, appointing authority for a lot of these would be the mayor's office, right the mayor appoints the head of corporation counsel, the director of DPW, the director of planning, the director of parks and rec. MR. NELSON: So, basically, for those guys you would only have to go to the mayor—okay. So, that would govern how you do that. Okay. So, that's a timing issue. Okay. MS. FRENZ: Yes, sir. MR. NELSON: It's got to happen. Okay. So, I don't think we're there, yet. I don't know if (inaudible) I guess we got to think about what we're asking, right, (inaudible) question. When you say "drafting authorities" this is just requesting them to give us information, is that correct? MS. FRENZ: That's correct. MR. NELSON: Because then, if we say, "Oh, we want"—"we think it should be `x'" that's our decision. We don't have to go back for that. We just have to get input from them, from each department or from each appointing authority, on what they think it ought to be. MS. FRENZ: That is correct. MR. NELSON: So, for right now, we have the police has proactively sent us a letter they've answered that question. MS. FRENZ: Correct. MR. NELSON: We don't need to go back to them. MS. FRENZ: That conferral has occurred. MR. NELSON: Okay, so that's done. MS. FRENZ: Correct. MR. NELSON: Now, we need to get similar letters from the other guys. MS. FRENZ: That's correct. Some sort of a position and/or conferral. If they choose to not partake in that conferral, that is up to them. But you are required to confer. Page 36
