Salary Commission June 8, 2023 <br />MR. NELSON: Okay. <br />MS. FRENZ: Yeah. <br />MR. NELSON: Thank you. <br />MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama, District 8. Point of clarification on this 6C, drafting of letters. <br />It would be this Commission drafting letters to the various positions and we'd have to vote on <br />this and say we approve of such an item? <br />MS. FRENZ: This is DCC Cody. So, yes, it would be a letter drafted by this Salary <br />Commission to the requisite appointing authorities. For example, so you'd haveI presumea <br />general template. And with our secretary's help it would just be identified to the correct <br />appointing authority but they would all, likely, receive the same kind of template—general <br />body indicating who you are, the task before you, that you're reaching out by Charter for <br />example. <br />I'm just thinking of what I would recommend to be in a letter and what you want. Do they <br />recommend a pay increase, if they do, what are they recommending and how are they supporting <br />that recommendation, for example. But all of that would, theoretically, go into the body of a <br />letter that this Commission would thereafter have to approve before it was disseminated. <br />So, the chair cannot take that action on his own—in this case, Chair Pavao. He would not be <br />able to take that action without the entire Commission approving that letter. <br />MR. RIORDAN: Commissioner Riordan here. Is there a letter that was sent out in the past that <br />we could have at our next board meeting that we'd be able to say, "That works for us"—and we <br />change some numbers and send it on? <br />So, I would request that, if that's possible that you would have at our next board packet? <br />ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you, Commissioner Riordan, I have that noted that we <br />will have that sample letter available in the next packet. <br />MR. RIORDAN: Thank you. <br />MS. GREEN13AUM: Commissioner Greenbaum, District 9. I want to emphasize that the longer <br />we take to proceed, we're going to end up back in this situation `cause we don't know what's <br />next month, next years—what's going to occur. <br />But the reason why there hasn't been a pay increase from 2018 till present is because of the <br />delays and then not being able to meet and then COVID. So, in creating the PIG, I think, is an <br />excellent idea. Is it possible for us to schedule something towards the end of this month or, <br />definitely, by next month—so that it doesn't continually get pushed out. <br />Page 37 <br />
