ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Good morning. I'd like to call the Salary Commission meeting

I'd like to take one matter out of order for efficiency purposes for today's hearing.

Are there any "Statements from the Public" as to this agenda item, either in-person or in ZOOM?

ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. There are no statements from the public at this
time.
I'd also like to note that Mr. Steven Pavao sent us an email concerning this matter. Please refer
to his email located in your green "Presented" folders.
The floor is now open for nomination of chair.
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama, District 8. Question I have for the—for you, Waylen. We're
all new to the Commission and I don't know everybody's background. And I was wondering if
we could—as we introduce ourselves, tell everybody who is here and on ZOOM their
background, so we can decide who we'd want as chairman. And if, those that are absent, if they
have a little background of themselves also.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you, Teresa. Can we start with you?
MS. NAKAMA: Okay. I live in Kona, raised in Hamakua, went to Hawaii Community College
and worked various jobs—and retired now.
I protect our fisheries for our fishermen—shoreline and out in the ocean. I'm very involved in
my community. I'm a volunteer at the mayor's office in West Hawaii. And I had my own
catering business and I did bookkeeping for several companies as the years went by.
And I end up wanting to serve, at my retirement age—serve on the Salary Commission.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you, Teresa. Let's move onto Jules.

MR. DUDOIT: Good morning, my name's Jules. I represent the 7' District.
HiloKeaukaha—grew up on Oahu. Formed a few businesses of my own.
college three times on my own, `cause I'm (inaudible).
And I joined this Committee and—how do you say that "Waylen?"
MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes.
MR. DUDOIT: He's the chairman, right?
MS. FRENZ: No.
MR. DUDOIT: No?
June 8, 2023
I was born in
Put myself through
MS. FRENZ: Mr. Leopoldino is the Director of the Department of Human Resources for the
County of Hawai'i, here, through the end of June. And so, he is an Ex -Officio member because
we don't have a chair to run today's meeting—so far—he has kindly and graciously getting us to
where we need to be to elect a chair and a vice -chair who would, theoretically thereafter, take
over the remainder of our agenda today.
MR. DUDOIT: Okay. Well, with that said, I don't have enough evidence to nominate anybody
right now until I get to know everybody.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Did you want to share—start by sharing some of your
background?
MR. DUDOIT: My background?
MS. NAKAMA: Yeah, what business did you own?
MR. DUDOIT: Well, in 1997 I started our curbside garbage pickup and recycling in Hawaiian
Oceanview Estates—started a recycling company. And I ended up with a compost company
working for Ka`u Agribusiness out of Pahala recycling all their waste and compost—and I sold it
to the Four Seasons. I also was a first mechanic pilot for Mokulele Airlines with Kawehi Inaba.
We started that 1997, sold it in 2006. I have a real estate license I'm current. And that's my
life as for today.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. And let's go back to my left, Member Nelson
would you like to share your background?
MR. NELSON: Sure. So, I represent District 1, the Hamakua District but I live in Wainaku.
My background is I'veI was born in Hawaii but actually grew up in New York. I've got a
bachelor's degree from University of Washington in economics, an MBA from Washington
University in Saint Louis.
Page 4
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
I started working in aerospace doing contracting and buying. I worked in—for a USA contractor
doing contracting, kind of, in different places around the world. And now, I work for Hilo
Medical Center their Compliance and Contracts Officer. So, I got—I do have experience in,
kind of, negotiating salaries and different things like that, which I think is applicable; however, I
do think Mr. Pavao, who was on the board before—somebody who was on the board before
would be a better chairperson and vice -chairperson.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you, Commissioner Nelson. And let's move on to
Commissioner Riordan.
MR. RIORDAN: Dennis Riordan from District 6, Na`alehu area. I was born and raised in
Salina, Kansas—moved to California after high school, was there for seven years, came to
Hawaii 45 years ago. I worked at the ARC of Kona in South Kona and then moved on to the
County of Hawaii and retired froml was the District Superintendent, Parks Maintenance for
West Hawaii—and I'm now retired.
And I'm fine with seconding the motion for Steven as chairman. Thank you.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. And we're going to our ZOOM attendees
Commissioner Greenbaum.
MS. GREENBAUM: Hi, I'm Judy Greenbaum and I mis-spoke earlierI'm District 8 from
Waikoloa Village. MyI was born in Korea but raised in Honolulu and had been on the Big
Island for the last 32 years raising my kids here on the island.
I have my BA in Administrative Concentration and Finance in Accounting. I've been in the
travel industry for about five years and then I transitioned over into my profession in accounting
and tax preparation. And that's what I do currently that is my firm for the last 32 years.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. And last but not least, Dr. Kawa`auhau.
MS. KAWA`AUHAU: Hi, I'm Donala Kawa`auhau from District 4. I teach at the Community
CollegeI'm an Associate Professor of Marketing. Ibefore that, I had jobs in hotel
management, customer service management operations—and now I'm really heavy into small
business development, entrepreneurship, and incubators for people who want to start their small
businesses.
MS. FRENZ: This is Deputy Corporation Counsel Cody Frenz. I just need to clarify one or two
things real quick.
So, Commissioner Greenbaum, you indicated initially 6, then corrected to 8—are you possibly
9?
MS. GREEN13AUM: I'm so sorry, we had some district changes. I think it was proposed last
year
Page 5
Salary Commission
MS. FRENZ: Right.
June 8, 2023
MS. GREENBAUM: There were (inaudible) Waikoloa. So, I don't know what actually came of
that. I didn't get a result. So, is Waikoloa considered 9 or 8?
MS. FRENZ: We're going to need to double-check, but I'll start an email with Pomai to clarify
because I want to make sure that we have everyone that is, in fact, sitting and sworn
appropriately doing so.
So, let's I'll clarify that separately.
MS. GREENBAUM: I appreciate that. Thank you.
MS. FRENZ: Okay, thank you. And then, just a little bit of additional information for this
Commission's consideration regarding our members that are not present.
I know that Mr. Pavao has already—Commissioner Pavao has already put in his information and
his willingness.
Commissioner Namahoe is a long-time Big Island resident. She currently is employed with
HMSA Hawaii Medical Service Association—I might have gotten that wrong, exactly what
HMSA stands for. But she has worked there for quite some time and I believe is going to be
starting a new venture in the very near future—but that's why she's not with us today. She,
otherwise, has work.
And Dr. Farahi was a long-time—either president and/or CEO of a school in New Jersey or New
York, somewhere on the East Coast. I cannot speakI know Commissioner Pavao did work for
the State of Hawaii but a little bit of guidance if that helps at all.
And I just got some additional information and reminder that Commissioner Namahoe used to be
on the Fire Commission and also used to be on the Merit Appeals Board both County of
Hawaii boards and commissions.
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa, District 8—anybody have background on Steven Pavao?
MS. FRENZ: We're going to try to see what information we can obtain other than, as I
indicated, he is a current State of Hawaii employee, but I think it was something with the
Department of HealthI'm not positive.
MR. RIORDAN: Dennis—Commissioner Riordan. Could you tell us what the chairman's
duties are going to be?
MS. FRENZ: Absolutely. So, in general, the chairman has is a multi -faceted position when
you think about it. So, Robert's Rules of Order control any and all public hearings such as this.
Page 6
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
So, with my assistance, the chairman would—one, run the hearing as Director Leopoldino has
done so far—maintain decorum within the hearing, making sure that public testifiers and/or
commissioners behave accordingly, and comply with the Code of Ethics.
For example, ensure that our calendar moves expeditiously or our agenda, rather, moves
expeditiously. Sometimes under Robert's Rules of Order the chairman can be the deciding
voteso, generally, under Robert's Rules the chairman does not make those motions. But if
there was a split vote and the chairman's vote would decide, one way or the other, the chairman
would be that deciding factor vote under Robert's Rules of Order.
But, generally, the chairperson starts the meeting, calls it to order, runs us through the agenda,
and also has the ability in-between hearings, to decide whether or not additional items are added
to the future months' agenda if they think it's necessary and appropriate with conferral with
Counsel.
The vice -chair, likewise, since that's up next—would fill in when the chair is not available
same duties.
MR. RIORDAN: Thank you.
MR. NELSON: If I could just add, I thinkI attended Commissioner Farahi's confirmation
hearing. And I do know that he has, actually, been on a Salary Commission—kind of, same role
in New Jersey—`cause he, kind of, related to that.
So, actually, he was very knowledgeable about this whole process, more so that I am for sure.
So for sure. But he's not here. So, I don't know you can't elect somebody who's not here.
MS. NAKAMA: Waylen—Teresa, District 8. Do we have a list of all the Commissioners and
their address and contact number that we could share with each member? So, we know who
each other are—who we are.
MS. FRENZ: So, as listed on our Board's and Commission's website through the County of
Hawaii there's a fact sheet that everyone has public access to, including the community. On
there, it indicates who represents what district, although we have a couple of things to get
clarified, right, on behalf of one or two members.
We can continue our conversation regarding contact information but reminding everyone here
that contacts for agenda -related items can become problematic for Sunshine Law which is why
still need to do your training, right, Commissioner Nakama.
So, who you can contact, how you can contact them, and when you can, and when it's
appropriate or not appropriate is all matters covered under Sunshine Law.
MS. NAKAMA: I understand. Thank you.
Page 7
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
MS. FRENZ: And just to clarify for Commissioner Nelson, we technically can elect someone
who is not here, if just for the record technically, we can do that. We don't know his
willingness, however, unlike Commissioner Pavao who has directly said that he is willing to do
in any capacity. We don't have that from Dr. Farahi.
And just as some additional information for Commissioner Pavao, District 2, it indicates this
was the communication to the County Council—he's a lifelong resident of Hawaii. Currently
employed with the Department of Health, State of Hawaii. He served on the County of
Hawai`i's Redistricting Commission in 2001 and chair for the EMC—Environmental
Management Commission. He is the Hawaii County Branch Chief for the Department of Health
Adult Mental Health Division. He's volunteered with HGEA and served as the Big Island
Region Director for Hawaii Pony Baseball. He's a member of the Coalition for Tobacco -Free
Hawaii and president of the Board for the Hawaii Public Health Institute. He holds a Bachelor
of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Human Resources.
Dr. Farahi isdid previously serve as the president of Kean University in Newark, New Jersey
for 17 years. It indicates he brings a considerable amount of experience and knowledge in the
areas of operations, research, finance, and public service activities for which he has received
awards and recognition. He was honored by the Research and Development Council of New
Jersey as the 2020 Educator of the Year—let's see for his innovative leadership in higher
education.
MS. NAKAMA: Thank you for the information and background of everyone here. Teresa,
District 8-1 would like to reiterate and go back to the nomination, if that's okay.
And I'd like to nominate Steven Pavao for Chair.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. Steven Pavao has been nominated to serve as
Chair. May I have a motion to accept his nomination as chair?
MS. GREENBAUM: I motion.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. Motion made by Commissioner Greenbaum. May
I have a second?
MS. NAKAMA: Second—Teresa Nakama, District 8.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. Seconded by Commissioner Nakama. It's been
moved by Commissioner Greenbaum and seconded by Commissioner Nakama. Is there any
discussion on the motion? If none, I'll call for the rollcall vote. Mr. Nelson.
MR. NELSON: Yes.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Mr. Riordan.

June 8, 2023
At this time—well, I was going to relinquish to the Chair but being that he is not here, I will
continue on.
The floor is now open for the nomination for Vice -Chair.
MR. NELSON: Is there anybody else that was here on a previous commission?
MS. GREEN13AUM: I was Greenbaum. But I don't think that's a position that I'm willing to
step up to, at this time.
Now, we could nominate Dr. Farahi—correct?
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. The answer is, "yes." You could nominate Dr. Farahi.
MR. NELSON: We don't really know if he wants the job or not that's the thing. I mean, I
think he would be a good—I think he would—given what I heard about his experience, I do
think he'd be able to do it, however, since he's not hereI don't know that he would want to do
it.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: So, under advice from our attorney, here, you could nominate
Dr. Farahi and at the next meeting he could have the opportunity to decline at that time.
MS. GREENBAUM: Okay.
Page 9
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa, District 8—let's nominate Dr. Farahi for the vice -chair position. And,
at the next meeting, if he declines then we'll let Chair Pavao decide then.
MALE SPEAKER: I'll second that motion.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you.
MS. NAKAMA: Judy, you want to make a motion?

chair.

MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama, District 8. I move to approve the minutes of the 2019

ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: (Inaudible) state your name.
MR. RIORDAN: Oh, that's right. This is Commissioner Riordan, District 6. So, when you
were at the meeting in 2019, did the minutes reflect what happened then?
I'll start in again. This is Commissioner Riordan, District 6. So, Commissioner from Waikoloa,
do the records reflect what happened at that meeting in 2019 the minutes from that meeting?
Were you at that meeting in 2019?
MS. GREENBAUM: No, I was not at the meeting in 2019. I wasn't aware of the meetingI
can't remember. But, no, I did not attend that meeting.

Page 11
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
MR. NELSON: So, I'd just say, I wasn't at the meeting so, I guess, I don't feel like I can
approve the minutes. However, I do appreciate getting them and looking at them and
understanding what was discussed. But, I guess, I'm not—this is Commissioner Nelson I'm
not willing to approve.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. If there are no further discussions, I'm going to
call for the vote at this time. All in favor of approving the September 16, 2019, minutes, please
say aye.

MR. DUDOIT: Jules Dudoit, Commissioner, District 7—aye.

Communications (Item 5)
June 8, 2023
Communication No. 23-01, From Police Commission Chair Rick Robinson, Dated May 18,
2023, Stating They Are In Support Of A Salary Increase For The Hawaii County Police
Chief And Deputy Chief
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; Salary Information And Practices
Informational Briefing By Director Of Human Resources Waylen L. K. Leopoldino - The
Informational Briefing May Include, But Is Not Limited To, The Following: Salary
Ordinance Of 2023 (Ordinance No. 23-46); Compensation Plan For The County Of
Hawaii (As Of July 2022); County Of Hawaii Pay Plan For Executives And Elected
Officials (Effective March 1, 2018); Collective Bargaining Agreements
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. We're moving on to agenda Item number 5,
"Communications."
MS. GREENBAUM: They're requesting a 24 percent increase for the police chief and the
deputy police chief. But our budget increase is only 5 percent. While I was looking at some of
the other counties numbers, it looks as though the police chief request might be reasonable but
not necessarily the deputy. Seems like the deputy's request it—his salary is only slightly less
than the police chief. And in other counties, it looks like that's not the case (inaudible). I'm not
too sure.
MS. FRENZ: This is Deputy Corporation Counsel Cody Frenz. Just to clarify regarding—when
you indicated what are—the maximum is, I'm not aware that there's a maximum 5 percent
that's completely within the jurisdiction and decision-making of this Commission, as a whole, as
to what it were to choose to put a particular department head or director at.
I think part of the process would include, maybe, obtaining conferral once this Commission has
put more thoughts and inquiry into where it might be headed to confirm with the director of
finance that those numbers are, in fact, attainable for example.
But I'm not aware of a 5 percent cap as far as the budget only allows that. So, I just wanted to
clarify that.
MS. GREENBAUM: Yeah. No, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't mean that there's
a 5 percent cap, but there is a proposal of a 5.8 percent increase in the next fiscal year budget.
And I'm sure with that increase, they're going to allocate it based on the different departments.
But the increase in this particular department or in this particular request is about 24 percent. So,
the number seemed a little bit higher than it seemed a little high.
Page 13
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
MS. FRENZ: I think part of that this is Deputy Corporation Counsel Cody Frenz, again—and
just to clarify one thing, if I could get everyone's help, Commissioner Greenbaum, to just—when
you start speaking indicate "Commissioner Greenbaum" just so that—
MS. GREENBAUM: Okay.
MS. FRENZ: for Glynis, when she's doing our minutes later, she doesn't know everyone's
voices quite yet right—and so, we make a proper record. And you also, for the record, don't
need to say what district you're from. Just identify "Commissioner" with your last name or first
name, if that's your preference.
So, just to clarify, as to the—I am also Counsel for the Police Commission. And so, one of the
things—I cannot speak on their behalf, obviously, but
MS. GREENBAUM: Sure.
MS. FRENZ: —and continued dialogue can occur under the Charter with all of the appointing
authorities. It's required, quite frankly. They have submitted this to you and, if you wanted to
send a letter back asking for their thought process and/or rationale or you want them to come join
you at a hearing—say, next month or down the road—I will indicate, again, while I can't speak
for them part of their discussion was looking at a bump that they thought was necessary given
the length of time between the last pay raise in 2018 and current, looking at other jurisdictions,
looking at how hard it is to find qualified people interested in the position.
And so, doing a bigger bump, initially, to make up that difference and, thereafter, doing those
smaller increases to then be in line with civil service in pay increases across the union. So, that's
how they came to those final numbers in that letter.
MS. GREENBAUM: Okay. Well, that makes sense. Thank you, Teresa.
MS. NAKAMA: That was Cody.
MS. GREENBAUM: That was Cody.
MS. FRENZ: Yes, it was Cody I'm the attorney. This is Deputy Corporation Counsel
Cody Frenz, but don't worry, we're all still getting to know each other. So, don't worry.
MS. GREENBAUM: Okay. Thank you, Deputy Cody that makes sense.
MS. FRENZ: Great.
MR. NELSON: Okay, this is Commissioner Nelson. I think I was just saying—I think, as I read
this note, it's just one—this is one of the salaries that need to be looked at as part of the entire
process.
Page 14
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
So, I think this was just the initial request, but then we need to go in and look at everything. So,
it's just, kind of—as you say, I mean, it's a 24 percent increase or whatever—but it's taken
over—'cause something hasn't happened since 2018. So, it needs to be all part of the equation.
I'm not sure that we need to act on that just one thing, `cause we have to act on everything at one
sitting.
MS. GREENBAUM: Yes. Agreed.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Waylen Leopoldino, anyone have any further discussion on
this communication?
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama, District 8. I'm wondering of the approval of the mayor's
budget that these increases, I guess, it increases every two years at 5 percent—is that what I'm
reading in the letter? `Cause it says 5 percent increase in two years and another 5 percent
increase two years thereafter, and that runs concurrently. If we vote for this that runs
concurrently?
MS. FRENZ: So, just this is Deputy Corporation Counsel Cody Frenz. Just to clarify, this is
just a communication, right. This is the police commission wanted to get ahead of the game
and they just appointed a chief of police following long hearings in December of 2022. So, our
chief of police is only four months into the job maybe four -and -a -half months.
And one of the hot topics in that entire process was the chief's salary. The chief of police is
actually holding on, on nominating or appointing a deputy because he wants to see fair wages in
a way that would entice someone qualified and capable to be interested in the job should he
make if and when he should make that appointment.
So, this was the police commission just putting it out there saying, "This is our position. This is
our recommendation." I informed them that this Commission was also required to confer with
them by Charter which is something I'll talk about in a few minutes—and I talked with just
about everyone I met with prior to today's hearing.
So, this is just a communication. This is not something that I expect you all will feel comfortable
or informed enough to vote on today. But, ultimately, you could, right—but you have very little
information. I think there's still a lot of information gathering and conferral.
One of the other things I would caution you on would be to consider calling for a vote today
you can't do that by Charter. You have to provide notice to the public by way of a newspaper
posting. And also, there should be full district representation when those decisions are finally
made, whenever that may be, should you even vote for an increase, right.
So, we are missing three representatives from our island, here, today. So, I don't recommend it.
And I'm also saying, legally, you can't do it without providing notice to the public. And I would
be drafting those Findings of Fact, if and when this Commission thought that they were ready to
Page 15
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
proceed, in which ever way it was—as to all of the appointed officials and employees that are
covered by this Salary Commission.
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa, District 8. Thank you, Cody. I'd like to have the police commissioner
in front of us and give us a—his reasons for the increase besides because it's going to run
concurrently. And, also, the finance department representative to tell us that our budget can
will be able to handle the increases concurrently.
MS. FRENZ: This is DCC Cody Frenz. We can absolutely make that happen. I will say that the
chair cannot speak on behalf of the commission, as a whole. The commission as a whole
discussed, voted, and decided—and the chair finalized the letter with the commission's approval.
We can send correspondence back to the police commission. We can ask any and all members
of the police commission who may be interested in testifying before this Commission, to come
and join us at a particular hearing, for example. But, just like the chair of this one—would not be
able to unilaterally take a certain position. He can come share his thoughts on how the
commission got there.
I do think as to Director Sako, the head of finance, it would be a little premature to have her
come in and weigh on this right now. I think once this Commission, maybe, has a more
definitive understanding of the direction it may be headed in—we could provide that to the
director of finance to see what the realities are, and then have her come join us.
But rather than piecemealing it, maybe we see—one idea, would be that you see—as you go
through the process—what information would this Commission like to have? What does it
already have? What does it still need or want? How can Director Leopoldino and/or Mr. Patel,
our Deputy Director, provide us or this Commission information that it needs to then, maybe,
figure how it would like to proceed.
So, rather than piecemeal it, maybe it would be easier to wait until we're a little further into the
process. But, ultimately, if this Commission as a whole—you have quorum wants to do a
motion to bring in and require certain reports to be done by the director, we could do that. I just
suggest waiting to see if you want to gather more information.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDIONO: I would like to echo DCC Cody's comments. We will have
the opportunity later on in the agenda to, kind of, compile your requests as to what you would
like to see at future meetings. And, again, the recommendation is it's a communication for you
to consider at this point. And it can be part of your consideration when we get to the point in the
agenda on requesting additional information. Thank you.
MS. NAKAMA: Sorry. Teresa Nakama, District 8. Are you asking us to table this
communication until we have further information and background?
Page 16
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
MS. FRENZ: DCC Cody. I'm not asking you to do either. I'm it's merely a communication
from one appointing authority to the Salary Commission. It's for your information. It's merely a
communication for your consideration and discussion.
So, you don't need to table it. You don't need to take any action on it. It's just merely a
communication on your agenda.
MS. NAKAMA: Thank you, Cody.
MR. NELSON: Yeah, this is Commissioner Nelson. So, yeah, I do think this is just a piece of
information. This is one salary out of the many that need to be looked at.
So, I think it's just they're here first in line. Okay. And they're making (inaudible) notice, but
we got to look at all of them. And then, at that point, I think it's, kind of, like, okay—do we
want to just focus on just the police commissioner or we want to look at everybody.
I think we need to look at everybody. I mean, your idea that we need to get the finance person
in that's a good one. We may need that, but we're not there yet. We need, kind of, need to go
down the path. So, good thought, but I think we're not there yet.
MS. GREENBAUM: This is Commissioner Greenbaum, District 9. Historically, when I joined
the board, it was just regrouping. And then, thereafter, we had the COVID issue. So, I really
wasn't able to partake in the board as I feel we're going to be doing moving forward.
But, if I recall, I thinkI don't recall in the brief times that we've met in regards to increases for
the different departments—we took it as a whole. I think we took it by departments.
DCC Cody, could you tell me if I'm out of line?
MS. FRENZ: Sure. This is DCC Cody. I think, realistically, I think Commissioner Nelson
meant more so we'll look at it all, maybe collectively. I don't want so to speak for him. But as
opposed to just this one, right now.
Ultimately, you are all free to decide. And part of my conversation with you all, a little bit
later—we'll be talking about whether or not we create a Permitted Interactive Group to help
disseminate some of the mini tasks before this Commission, which I'm going to cover I'll say
shortly.
But you will be required to look at, as part of your duties as Salary Commissioners here—all of
these salaries that are up for potential increases or decreases, right, theoretically, under the
Charter. But there are plenty. And how you all choose, collectively, to tackle that job is really
up to you guys.
It would make sense to look at, typically, the deputy director or the number 2 -the number 2
positions in every department that has 1 and 2—and which is almost all the number 2 salary is
Page 17
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
dependent on what the number 1 salary is. So, realistically, for most of the work ahead of you,
you're looking at the department head and/or the director. Because the deputy or the assistants is
generally, by statute, a certain percentage of the bossesright, of the number 1's.
So, you're generally looking at the number 1 department head or director of a particular
department. And by Charter, Statute, HRS whatever it may be, thereafter, the people below the
number 1's salary are set accordingly but there are many to tackle.
MS. GREENMAUM: Commissioner Greenbaum, District 9. Thank you, Cody. Commissioner
Greenbaum, District 9. So, if we wanted to gather more information, would this be something
that we would set aside in (inaudible), just amongst the Commission?
MS. FRENZ: This is DCC Cody. So, realistically, I think that's sort of what today is for. And
it's hard when we don't have full representation here because we have three members
Commissioners that may have ideas that could lead this Commission down a different path
regarding information gathering.
So, unfortunately, they're not here to weigh in. But part of our discussion here, today, is to
consider—for you guys to consider what information do you possibly want to have to figure out
what direction you even want to go as it's really hard, I think, on Day 1 to sort of know what
path you want to take for each one. Is it going to be an overall look? Are you wanting to focus
on particular departments first?
Do you want to create several permitted interactive groups, which—since we're all in
Number 5—maybe I just discuss with you all, now, the concept of a permitted interactive group.
I've met with almost all of you to discuss that. Permitted Interactive Groups by Hawaii Revised
Statutes are two but less than quorum, right? So between two and four members of this
Commission, you could create more than one, if you wanted to. But it provides you guys a way
to collectively, as a smaller group, do some research and information about the different things
that this Commission may want to gather information on.
So, for example—and, really, these are just ideas. I don't know how you guys want to do it.
You may want to create a permitted interactive group that breaks the departments in half, right.
If you look at every department that you're required to evaluate the salary for a department head
on, maybe you split them in half and one permitted interactive group does one-half and the other
one does the other.
And sometimes that would require, I would think, as the police commission did here—the
drafting of a letter that his Commission, as a whole, can agree on that solicits input and
information from the appointing authority by Charter.
So, as additional information for you all, for this Commission, our Hawaii County Charter—and
I'll just read it to you all, `cause this is the task and the expectation as a Salary Commissioner
before you now.
Page 18
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
"The commission shall review and compensate all county elected officials and appointed
directors and deputy directors so that their total salaries and benefits have a reasonable
relationship to compensation in the public and private sectors. The salary commission shall
consult with those boards and commissions which have appointing authority for department
heads."
So, examples of that "shall" would be, for example, the Merit Appeals Board, right, which
Glynis our wonderful secretary is also on that Merit Appeals Board elects, for example,
Director Leopoldino. So, when he resigns at the end of June, there will be temporary assignment
deputy director and, theoretically, a new one will need to be picked.
So, this Salary Commission would be required to consult and confer with the Merit Appeals
Board. The Fire Commission appoints the fire chief, the Police Commission appoints the chief
of police—so these are all examples of appointing authorities that this Commission is going to be
required by Charter, by law, to confer with.
So, one easy way would be to come up with a letter seeking input and information laying out the
parameters of the information that this Commission would like, such as provide us a
recommendation, support that recommendation—what sort of support is this Commission
wanting in that letter to be able to not have to, maybe, call them in and ask further questions,
such as the Police Commission about, "How did you come up with this number?" Maybe you
want specific information in that letter.
So, those are all types of ideas of things that you can formulate, as a Commission, put it in the
form of a letter. Our chair would finalize that with Glynis and myself and Director Leopoldino.
And, if this Commission, as a whole, approved it, we could send it out to all of the appointing
authorities that we are required, by law, to confer with, give them a deadline, expect a return
and then review that communication. It would come in just like the Police Commission's
communication did.
You would have an opportunity to review that and decide, "Do we want to dig further?" Right
We have provided you via Director Leopoldino and our fabulous friends over at the department
of human resources, ample information about what the other jurisdictions do. I would
recommend that you all consider reviewing the minutes from the process in 2018, which are
available online from this, the Hawaii County Salary Commission, to see what the thought
process was and how they proceeded. How they broke up the work.
I'd also recommend that you take a look at the City and County of Honolulu. I have provided
some of that information to you guys. That's an excellent current roadmap to see what they did,
how they did it. They had permitted interactive groups. See some of the concerns raised by the
public to keep that—take that into consideration as you proceed.
So, those are all things that I think you guys should consider utilizing as resources—at your
fingertips. And I recognize, as volunteers, this puts a burden on you to get that done on your
Page 19
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
own free time, right. And there is a lot to tackle, a lot to read, but there are a lot of conversations
that you want to be aware of—comparing civil service methods versus lump sum increases—like
was done last time, right.
It's interesting to see the police commission with a lump sum and then treating them similarly to
civil service ones with periodic raises, thereafter, to keep them in line with continued increases
that are occur for our bargaining units.
So, lots to consider. I want to make sure you all understand the required task before you and
how we're going to accomplish that. Does anybody have any questions?
MS. GREENBAUM: Not at this time for me, DCC Cody—seems like we have to do our
homework and I do have one question, I'm sorry.
So Maui, I guess, their police chief is getting paid about 205
MS. FRENZ: That's my recollection. This is Cody—yes.
MS. GREENBAUM: And Honolulu averages about 278. So, the 191 actually isn't out of line.
MS. FRENZ: I would agree with you this is Cody but I'm also not a voting member. So, it
is interesting to see the salary discrepancies amongst the jurisdictions. Population
MS. GREENBAUM: Right.
MS. FRENZ: GE tax revenues—they all play a role. And I'm sure how those considerations
come about—one other thing I would mention to this Commission the biggest difference
between the task before the Salary Commission for Hawaii County and the City and County of
Honolulu is, by law—by Charter in this case, a two-thirds vote for any increase or decrease
becomes final action.
Unlike City and County of Honolulu, as you just sawI think it was in the news, again, last
night and this morning. It actually passed, I believe, from yesterday's hearing or a very recent
hearing where they need city—they need county council approval to take action, one way or the
other, on the salary commission's position. That is not required here.
So, the action you take by a two-thirds vote—meaning six or more from this Commission will
become final.
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama, District 8. Question, please. Director Waylen, the salary in
the communication letter, does that include benefits or is that plus benefits?
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: I believe that's base salary.
Page 20
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
MS. NAKAMA: So, are weI'm trying to word it properly—are we okay to ask about
benefits? I mean, what kind of increases do they see in their benefits is a thirty-three and a
third percent of their salary? I'm not sure how benefits—I was wondering if someone could
explain that.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Waylen Leopoldino. So, fringe benefits are determined and
negotiated and would not be part of the discussion.
MS. NAKAMA: We can have it in the back of our heads that on top of the salary that they're
proposing that somewhere along the line there will be their benefits?
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Waylen Leopoldino. Yes, that's correct. This is only a
proposal for base salary.
MS. NAKAMA: Thank you very much.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Any more discussion on Communication 23-01? Seeing none,
we can move on the agenda—can I have a motion to close file on Communication number
23-01?
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama, District 8—so moved.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Motion by Commissioner Nakama. Can I get a second?
MR. NELSON: This is NelsonI will second it.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Seconded by Commissioner Nelson. Can I do a rollcall vote,
please. Mr. Nelson.
MR. NELSON: Approved.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Mr. Riordan.
MR. RIORDAN: Approved.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Mr. Dudoit.
MR. DUDOIT: Approved.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Ms. Nakama.
MS. NAKAMA: Aye.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Dr. Kawa`auhau.
Page 21
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
MS. KAWA`AUHAU: Approved.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Ms. Greenbaum.
MS. GREENBAUM: Approved.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. I have six ayes, three excused and absent. Thank
you.
Informational Briefing By Director Of Human Resources Waylen L. K. Leopoldino - The
Informational Briefing May Include, But Is Not Limited To, The Following: Salary
Ordinance Of 2023 (Ordinance No. 23-46); Compensation Plan For The County Of
Hawaii (As Of July 2022); County Of Hawaii Pay Plan For Executives And Elected
Officials (Effective March 1, 2018); Collective Bar2ainin2 Agreements
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: We're moving on the agenda to the informational briefing by
Director of Human Resources, Waylen L. K. Leopoldino.
I will be presenting the following items that are included in your "Presented" green folder. I will
do a brief overview of each item.
Salary Ordinance Of 2023 (Ordinance No. 23-46)
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: The first item on the bulleted list is the Salary Ordinance of
2023, Ordinance number 23-46 (SEE ATT. A, COMM. NO. 23.02). This document covers all of
our employees—all persons employed by the County of Hawaii who are not covered by either a
collective bargaining agreement or covered by any other policy related to compensation.
This includes employees or positions in the County Clerk's office, Legislative Auditor's office
namely, in the Legislative Branch—and the Office of Housing and Community Development. If
you turn to page 4 of the document, you will see the list of positions in the Legislative Branch
covered by this salary ordinance: The executive assistant to the council chairperson, deputy
executive assistant to the council chairperson, council legislative assistant, council aide, special
assistant, legislative specialist, and student intern, legal specialist, and temporary election clerk.
Continuing on to page 5 you have the election officials I, 11, and III. And then the positions in
the Office of the County Auditor, and then followed by the positions in the Office of Housing
and Community Development Management and all of its positions.
All of the County student helper positions also fall under this salary ordinance and that continues
on through page 8 of this salary ordinance.
So, again, this salary ordinance covers positions that are not covered under collective bargaining
agreements for the County of Hawaii.
Page 22
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
Are there any questions about the salary ordinance? These documents are for your reference as
you continue on discussions related to salaries. If, at any point you do have questions, feel free
to let me and/or our staff at Department of Human Resources know but I'm happy to address any
questions that you might have.
MS. GREENBAUM: This is Commissioner Greenbaum, District 9. I apologize, I never
received any packets for that. I don't knowI don't see it in any of the emails either—any of
your compensation plan—any of these items are not listed.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Do you have your meeting folder with you?
MS. GREENBAUM: The only meeting folder I have is the blue folder. It's not in here.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: So, the documents were also emailed to you all yesterday.
MS. GREENBAUM: It was emailed yesterday, the documents that I have is amended
administration plan, comparison executive LR collective bargaining negotiating, and then
comparison of County it doesn't look like any of these are the ones that's being referenced
here.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: One moment.
MS. GREENBAUM: That's okay.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: So, the email, Commissioner Greenbaum, you might want to
check—was sent on June 7th, yesterday, at 8:43 a.m.
MS. GREENBAUM: Okay, let me look—what is the heading?
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: The heading is "Salary Commission Meeting Scheduled for
Thursday, June 8th at 10 a.m. at the Council Chambers."
MS. GREENBAUM: Okay, I see it right there. Thank you.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: You're welcome. So, I'm going to backup and read the
agenda item again. Informational Briefing by Director of Human Resources Waylen L. K.
Leopoldino – The informational briefing may include, but is not limited to, the following: Salary
Ordinance of 2023 (Ordinance No. 23-46); Compensation Plan for the County of Hawaii (as of
July 2022); County of Hawaii Pay Plan for Executives and Elected Officials (effective March 1,
2018); Collective Bargaining Agreements.
Page 23
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
Compensation Plan For The County Of Hawaii (As Of July 2022)
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: The second item, "Compensation Plan for the County of
Hawaii (as of July 2022)" is a compilation of all of the classifications in the County that are
covered under collective bargaining agreement—and I can go over with you how the document
is organize (SEE ATT. B, COMM. NO. 23-03).
So, Part 1—and you can follow along on the table of contents include our "White Collar
Plans"—clerical and allied. And when we refer to the term "allied" it's a grouping of similar
type classes of work. So, clerical and all related classes; public administration; recreation;
biological, medical, physical science, and allied; engineering; and public safety. That falls under
the white collar plan.
The next section is the "Blue Collar Plan" our labor, custodial, domestic classes; trades, crafts,
mechanical classes; and mechanical equipment classes.
And finally, Part III are our "Excluded Managerial Classes."
So, if you turn to page 5, I can go over the headings of this document. So, the first column is the
"Code Number." So, that's how we classify each of the specs. So, clerical and allied
occupations are noted by the "1" before the decimal point. And then the numbers that follow are
organized by the grouping the classification grouping.
So, as you can see, the very first class is election clerk I, followed by election clerk II and IIIso
the last three digits follow numerically in that order.
The "Pay Grade" the "SR" stands for "Salary Range." And for the election—and there's a
progression here—increases depending on what level you're at, obviously. The entry-level clerk
I starts at a salary range 7 and it corresponds, obviously, to a salary range that we have that's
negotiated.
And then the "Effort Grouping" is light or heavy indicated by an "L" or an "H"—most of our
classes are considered "Light." The "H" or "Heavy" classes, you will notice is indicated next to
such as our police and fire, our labor -type blue-collar classes.
And the "BU" is the "Bargaining Unit." So, the clerical, there's a lot of BU3clerical usually
falls under the bargaining unit HGEA Bargaining Unit 3.
And then the "EEO" code, there's a key for the EEO code on the page that's previous to page 5.
So on page 4, those are all the EEO codes. They correspond to each of the classes here. So, as
you can see on page 5, all of these classes are coded as a 6—administrative support
occupations in which workers are responsible for internal and external communication,
recording, and retrieval of data and/or information, and other paperwork required in an office.
Page 24
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
So, I won't go through them all but the key is for the EEO codes—are on page 4.
So, that's how the groupings are organized. And, again, if you go to Section II on page 12, that
goes into our "Public Administration and Allied Occupations."
So, they're all grouped accordingly. And after you've had some time to review this document,
again, if you have any questions, we will be here at the meetings to address any questions that
you might have, after you have some time to review the document.
The very last grouping would be our "Excluded Managerial" that's on page 39, if you want to
turn to page 39. They have a different coding system. The pay grade is "EM" for "Excluded
Managerial" and they also get their own salary range grade—and most of them are coded, if not
all of them—are light. And they—although they're not covered by a collective bargaining
agreement because they're "excluded" they follow the contract for bargaining unit 13, which is
our "Professional and Scientific" classes of work, and their EEO codes are there on the far right.
MR. NELSON: This is Commissioner Nelson, just a question. So, for the excluded managerial,
do they automatically get the raises for the unions get in the bargaining unit 13 is that the way
that works?
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. So, the excluded managerial would follow whatever
increases their corresponding bargaining unit gets. So, in this case, it's bargaining unit 13so
they would get at the very least, whatever the increases are for that bargaining unit. Yes.
MS. NAKAMA: Commissioner Teresa Nakama, District 8. I'm not sure if this is the right time,
but all these codes and outline of how pay the pay's outlined—sounds confusing to me `cause
this is all new. But I was wondering, would this be a proper time for me to try to share with you
some information I pulled off of the internet of the City and County of Honolulu—as to how
they lay out the—their coding and pay in salaries. Would this be a good time to share that
information with you?
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Is there a way we could put it on the agenda for a future
meeting so that all the Commissioners could get a copy?
MS. NAKAMA: Sure. Could I hand it over to you, so you can hand it to Glynis, and she can
share this with the
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes.
MS. NAKAMA: Okay. I just wanted to share with the Commission. I went online and I'm not
sure what is proper or not proper but when things get confusing then I can't make proper
decisions. So, I was wondering if I could share this outline from the City and County of
Honolulu with you.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you.
Page 25
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
MS. FRENZ: If I could just jump in briefly. This is Deputy—DCC Cody I'll shorten that
mouthpiece up a little. So, this is DCC Cody. We have lots of available methods in which you
all can request and obtain verified information.
I want to make sure that we're really careful how we obtain and gather information that it's, in
fact, current and accurate information. Sometimes the websites can be so tricky, even for me, to
make sure that it's coming—say, for example, from the correct authority if that makes sense.
So, if there are times that if you know, today, for example, as we continue this conversation
with Director Leopoldino that you would like to make a request for certain types of documents
that the Director can indicate does he have them or not. What else might be helpful. He may
have ideas on additional information, although I think he's gathered a lot of the information he
thought would be helpful to you all.
But we have—there are formal processes in which we can request information from the outside
jurisdiction. So, City and County of Honolulu, Maui, Kauai—whatever islands that you may or
may not want to gather information from we can make those requests. There is a proper way in
which we can put those requests out to gather that information and compile it and then
disseminate it to everyone, so that we are always it's important that you're always all on the
same page.
So, if and when, even as we go through this process—you come across or think of something
that you would like to have, if you have already obtained it, then getting it to Glynis to receive as
a communication and, with our chair's permission, adding it to the agenda, for example if we
don't know in advance—would be the proper method in which to do that. And/or asking that
either Glynis via the director of human resources or myself—right—and I can communicate with
them. We will be, kind of, an arm providing and gathering information through you guys.
But, ultimately, the department of human resources will likely be our—as our ex -officio
member—helping provide that necessary guidance and information regarding what is authentic,
current information, and/or statistics or whatever it may be.
So, but just remember, there is a process that we can help gather that information for you guys as
you need it.
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa, District 8. Thanks, Cody, and thank you Director Waylen. It's just
that codes and if it can be put in a simpler form where we can see the whole page of the title of
the job description, and the proposed salary, and what the present salary is, and the percentage of
the increase or decrease—would be much simpler than EA -1, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M and
et cetera.
To me, this is confusing `cause I'm not seeing the whole picture. I have to decode. I shouldn't
be able to have to decode something that can put on a spreadsheet and show what was and what
is being proposed, and the percentage of increase or decrease. Thank you.

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
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
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.
Page 29
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
So maybe taking a look at that list and deciding how would you recommend breaking that up and
having a conversation at the next hearing, right. Do you even want to create a PIG? Do you not?
If you do want to create one, maybe all of you will have slept on it, digested it, and have some
ideas on how you would recommend we create those PIG's and maybe looking at this list would
be beneficial because there are a good number on this list, right?
So, is that something that you guys would like to table or do those of you present today, feel
compelled to start creating those PIG's and see how we proceed next month?
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama, District 8. Please explain the responsibility of your acronym
of the PIG?
MS. FRENZ: So, as 1 -this is DCC Cody. As I indicated earlier, a Permitted Interactive Group
is it allows board members or Commission members, in this case, the ability to tackle some of
the tasks of the entire Commission but at a smaller scale.
So, in this case, it would be, for example, maybe you created two or three and you divided this
list accordingly. And so, the rules in the Hawaii Revised Statutes for a permitted interactive
group it's two, at least two members but not more—not quorum. So, the moment you have a
quorum of board members working on an agenda item, that violates the Sunshine Law.
So, in this case, five is our quorum. So, your PIG would be created between two and four
members. Once this Commission voted on the creation of a PIG, it would have very specific
duties. That PIG would, thereafter, be allowed to meet separately from the Commission as a
whole and, kind of, divide and conquer—gather information, figure out what sort of information
it would like to get, how are we going to get it, who is going to do what.
The biggest rule that is connected to the PIG is you cannot in that, in those separate PIG
meetings, indicate how you intend to vote. You cannot make a commitment in that PIG
meeting"I intend to vote this way for that mayor's salary or that managing director salary," for
example. Whatever you do in the PIG, as a smaller group, you then every subsequent month
come back and report to the Commission as a whole.
And so, those are some of the parameters of the PIG. So, in this case—
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama. I'm not understanding still what are if we do put together a
PIG what are our responsibilities and our parameters when we do research work or background
check or how these figures came about. That's what I'm looking for.
MS. FRENZ: So, this is DCC Cody. I can't tell you how to do your job. I have certain
limitations as the legal counsel for the Commission. I'm here to provide you information and
legal guidance but, ultimately, only you guys as Commission members can decide what tasks and
how you want to divide that work. That's really up to you guys.
Page 30
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
So, for example, let's say you created a PIG and it was going to task itself—PIG Number 1, was
going to task itself with tackling the obtaining of information for the first ten job descriptions
listed here from the mayor down they're going to cover the first ten.
This Commission would, theoretically, have already drafted a letter that it would send out to the
appointing authorities and maybe that permitted interactive group that tackles the first ten on
here or five—or whatever it were to decide as a Commission in the adoption and creation of
this group were to then reach out to the necessary and appropriate appointing authorities—do
some information gathering as to, "Well, let's look at all of the other jurisdictions for mayor.
Let's look at all the other jurisdictions for prosecuting attorney"—and evaluate and gather
information collectively as that group, which would then report back to the Commission as a
whole and say, "As to these positions, this is the information we got. Here's how we got it"
and provide that information, collectively, to the bigger group. Ultimately, only as a bigger
group can you guys all decide what you would like to do, if any, as to those positions.
So, think of it as separate homework projects and how those groups are going to help tackle the
homework for the collective group.
MS. NAKAMA: So, as ITeresa, District 9—as I understand it, we would be allowed to
research and seek other parties and do background check on the figures of salary, then come
back to the Commission and do a report on our findings?
MS. FRENZ: YeahI mean, some of the words that you use cause me a little concern, but
that's probably the attorney in me. So, I apologize. But—so the permitted interac—and this is
the struggle, Commissioner Nakama, is I would have covered this in our training beforehand,
right. So, I know everybody else has, kind of, heard the lecture on how the permitted interactive
groups work.
But you can—in a perfect world, this information as a whole would make its request for specific
types of information, and formulate a letter that everyone on this Commission was agreeable
with that would then be disseminated. And, for example, the permitted interactive group
members could take a meeting with, say, the police commission. They could show up to the next
police commission hearing and say, "We'd like to have a conversation with you. We've created
this permitted interactive group. We want to talk to this commission as whole and talk about the
letter that you submitted." Or because the fire commission hadn't submitted one, go to the fire
commission next meeting—next appropriate meeting—and say, "We've gotten a letter from the
police commission, where are you guys at? So, we'd like you to submit a letter to us. This is
what we're thinking. We are a permitted interactive group, we will report back to our
Commission."
So, you can take independent meetings with the appointing authorities. You can do that
collectively as a group. You can, amongst the three or four of you, then break up your list even
furtherI will take the chief of police, so the police commission; the other person will take the
fire commission. That really is up to you and I don't want to—I want to make sure I stay in my
Page 31
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
lane as far as providing guidance—legal guidance versus directives, right. Because, again, I'm
not a voting member and I want to make sure that I stay in my lane in that regard.
So, I'm trying to provide you ideas and creative ways that you guys can collectively decide how
to proceed.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Option B is to not have or not establish a PIG and work
collectively as a Commission, as a whole, to gather that information. The PIG just offers that
extra efficiency, I guess, if you will, if you all can't come together as frequently.
So, again, Option B is you don't have to have one. Thanks.
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa NakamaI mean, I'm leaning forward on your agenda and it says
drafting letters or request for information. Is that something the PIG can do or we do that as a
whole as Commissioners?
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: That would have to be decided, as a whole, as the Salary
Commission.
MS. NAKAMA: In other words, we can either have a PIG or drafting letters, as a whole, as a
Commission?
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: No, you could have the PIG and the PIG can make a
recommendation to the Commission, to draft a letter.
MS. NAKAMA: Thank you.
MS. GREEN13AUM: Commissioner Greenbaum, District 9. On that note so, if I understand
correctly, in order to abide by the Sunshine Law, we will have to create a PIG of two or four
members or can we—we have to create a PIGor can two or four members meet and discuss
certain salary increases to do research on certain salary increases.
MS. FRENZ: This is DCC Cody. I would not recommend that you meet unless you have
created a PIG. A part of that, if you go back to the power point that I provided to you guys
regarding Sunshine Law while, technically, you may not have a violation of the Sunshine Law,
I want to ensure that we protect against violations of the spirit of Sunshine.
And, in essence, what you would be recommending is the creation of a PIG. So, formalizing it is
always cleaner to make sure that there are no allegations of Sunshine Law violations. Because,
ultimately, what you indicate would be the exact same thing just formally creating the PIG,
which you are not required to do, right.
It's just, how expeditiously can this Commission get through the various position salary
discussions. Do you want—you are not required, as Director Leopoldino has already said, you
are not required to create one. And maybe between now and our next hearing, because a lot of
Page 32
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
these itemsas our previous one—can be tabled, right—for you to continue to digest, read,
research, review the materials provided, and think on it as you have a better understanding of the
information before you.
And look at the work that the Honolulu City and County Salary Commission did—'cause they
created a PIG. Was that beneficial? Review it and think to yourself, "Is this something that
would be beneficial to this Commission?" And maybe not. Maybe the information gathered,
you feel, could be done collectively as one Commission, as opposed to another PIG, right—
,cause
ight`cause that requires additional meetings for whomever is in that PIG—then you report back,
right.
So, ultimately, that's a question for all of you to decide on.
MS. GREENBAUM: Thank you.
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama, District 8. Sorry, Judy. Question—can two—regarding
Sunshine Law—can two members meet without a PIG?
MS. FRENZ: You should—and I will cover this more in-depth with you, Commissioner
Nakama—you should refrain from discussing board business outside of public hearings. The
purpose of Sunshine Law is to ensure transparency to the public and if there are agenda items,
and you are discussing them outside—it would and could create the appearance to someone who
may not know any better, that you are violating Sunshine.
So, it is much cleaner to avoid conversations, such as those, outside of board hearings unless you
are doing it properly—and we can continue to discuss that off-line.
MS. NAKAMA: So, the question is, in order to do any form of discussion, we'd have to form a
PIG so that two members can meet and talk about agenda items?
MS. FRENZ: Or you do that here, in our open hearings.
MS. NAKAMA: Or the open hearings.
MS. FRENZ: Complying with Sunshine.
MS. NAKAMA: To comply with Sunshine Law.
MS. FRENZ: So, one of the things that I cover with everyone is violations of the spirit of
Sunshine Law. While they may not be legal violations of Sunshine, your conversation with one
other Commissioner could result in a conversation with another Commissioner, and then the
same conversation with another Commissioner, and another. And before you know it, although
you haven't legally violated Sunshine it violates the spirit of Sunshine, right, by having what
we, kind of call "serial communications" when those could and should occur before the public,
so they can see what our thought processes are.
Page 33
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
Because, ultimately, the public will, I presume, want to know how you got to wherever it is that
you maybe at the very end of this process, right. And part of that is allowing them to come in
and see and hear those conversations and thought processes.
MR. NELSON: So, this is Commissioner Nelson. I think I would vote that we table this and
bring it up again at our next meeting. I don't think we know enough. I think we need to think
about it, how we're going to approach the task and how we want to move forward.
I mean, the small groups may help, but it may take more time if we feel—try to figure out the
process. So, I think we kind of look at digesting the information we got, think about it, think
about how we want to tackle the problem, and then bring it up at the next timeis my
suggestion.
MS. NAKAMA: Commissioner Teresa Nakama, District 8. I'll make a motion that we table
this 6B and be able to have time to digest what we're looking at.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Motion to table Item 613, creation of permitted interaction
groups for Salary Commission and inquiries. There's a motion to table this item by
Commissioner Nakama. Can I get a second?
MR. NELSON: It's Nelson—I'll second.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: And a second by Commissioner Nelson. All in favor—any
discussion?
MS. NAKAMA: Call for the question.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Call for the question. All in favor, please say aye.
COMMISSIONERS: Aye (collectively).
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Sure, I'll do a rollcall vote. Mr. Nelson.
MR. NELSON: Aye.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Mr. Riordan.
MR. RIORDAN: Aye.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Mr. Dudoit.
MR. DUDOIT: Aye.
ACTING CHR. LEOPODINO: Ms. Nakama.
Page 34
Salary Commission
MS. NAKAMA: Aye.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Dr. Kawa`auhau.
MS. KAWA`AUHAU: Aye.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Ms. Greenbaum.
MS. GREENBAUM: Aye.
June 8, 2023
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: We have six ayes, three excused and absent to table Item 613,
creation of permitted interaction groups for Salary Commission inquiries to the next meeting.
6. C. Drafting Of Letters To Appointing Authorities For Affected Parties For Salary
Commission Input
MR. LEOPOLDINO: Moving on to item Number 6C on the agenda, "Drafting of Letters to
Appointing Authorities for Affected Parties for Salary Commission Input." Any discussion?
MR. NELSON: This one this is Nelson. I just had a question. So, we have to do this, is that
right? And what is the timing that we have to do it—am I understanding that correctly?
MS. FRENZ: This is DCC Cody. So, you are not required to draft a letter but you are required
to consult and confer with the appointing authorities by Charter.
So, if this Commission were to decide to call or to all show up at the next appointing authority
meeting, you could do that. It doesn't seem very expeditious, which is why there is the
recommendation for a letter as opposed to how else you would finagle all nine of you to be at the
next commission hearing where everyone (inaudible) is present.
So, it is not a requirement. But the requirement is, by Charter, conferral with the appointing
authorities—that is required. So, we can't get around that one. How you choose to do that is
really up to you.
And for timing, it really just depends on how quickly this Commission would like to move, right.
So, for example, in the police commission hearing there was a discussion by the commission, as
a whole, to draft a letter proposing a certain type of raise. And everyone agreed with that. Based
on that motion, the chair drafted a template, worked with the secretary for the police
commission that letter was then added to the next calendar and then there was continued
conversation there about whether or not everyone liked the number, the continued increase, the
formatting of it. And then, at that next hearing—at that hearing is when they tweaked the letter,
there was a motion to approve the letter and send it to the Salary Commission.
Page 35
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
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
MR. NELSON: Okay.
MS. FRENZ: Yeah.
MR. NELSON: Thank you.
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama, District 8. Point of clarification on this 6C, drafting of letters.
It would be this Commission drafting letters to the various positions and we'd have to vote on
this and say we approve of such an item?
MS. FRENZ: This is DCC Cody. So, yes, it would be a letter drafted by this Salary
Commission to the requisite appointing authorities. For example, so you'd haveI presumea
general template. And with our secretary's help it would just be identified to the correct
appointing authority but they would all, likely, receive the same kind of template—general
body indicating who you are, the task before you, that you're reaching out by Charter for
example.
I'm just thinking of what I would recommend to be in a letter and what you want. Do they
recommend a pay increase, if they do, what are they recommending and how are they supporting
that recommendation, for example. But all of that would, theoretically, go into the body of a
letter that this Commission would thereafter have to approve before it was disseminated.
So, the chair cannot take that action on his own—in this case, Chair Pavao. He would not be
able to take that action without the entire Commission approving that letter.
MR. RIORDAN: Commissioner Riordan here. Is there a letter that was sent out in the past that
we could have at our next board meeting that we'd be able to say, "That works for us"—and we
change some numbers and send it on?
So, I would request that, if that's possible that you would have at our next board packet?
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you, Commissioner Riordan, I have that noted that we
will have that sample letter available in the next packet.
MR. RIORDAN: Thank you.
MS. GREEN13AUM: Commissioner Greenbaum, District 9. I want to emphasize that the longer
we take to proceed, we're going to end up back in this situation `cause we don't know what's
next month, next years—what's going to occur.
But the reason why there hasn't been a pay increase from 2018 till present is because of the
delays and then not being able to meet and then COVID. So, in creating the PIG, I think, is an
excellent idea. Is it possible for us to schedule something towards the end of this month or,
definitely, by next month—so that it doesn't continually get pushed out.
Page 37
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
It's unfair to (inaudible) to the people that we're responsible to.
MS. FRENZ: Yes, this is DCC Cody. So, we tentatively have this Council Chambers held for
that very purpose, Commissioner Greenbaum, for July 11 and 13. Initially, we were holding two
days—both in June and both in July. And we released tomorrow's date because we figured that
it would be a little much for this Commission to go two days back-to-back, when you still need
to kind of gather, digest, and comprehend the plethora of information before you guys.
So, we do have those two days held in July—again, that's 11 and 13. In a perfect world, right,
you should utilize both if you wanted to. Again, this is all based on what your schedules will
permit—we need a quorum, right. So, it really depends on what everyone's availability is but we
could, theoretically, tackle all of those things in July, so that this Commission is able to keep
moving forward as you've already indicated, there has been quite a delay, right?
So, that would allow you all to continue to move forward, gather as much as you can, and then
di then continue to digest it and decide how do you want to proceed in light of the information
that either the Commission, as a whole—or the PIG or PIGS have obtained, as a result of those
actions.
MS. NAKAMA: Commissioner Teresa Nakama, District 8. For me, July 13 would work.
MS. GREENBAUM: I can do either date. I'm going to place a hold on my calendar for either
dates.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: We have an item on theWaylen Leopoldinowe have an
item on the agenda to determine the next meeting date. So, we can hold that for that item on the
agenda.
MS. GREENBAUM: Now this is Commissioner Greenbaum, District 9. At the time of our
meeting, if I was able to do my own research and come up with the positive and negative of
increasing the police department's request—can that be presented at that time as well?
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: I'm sorry, could you repeat that?
MS. GREENBAUM: So, at the time of our next meeting and on the agenda we're going to
discuss whether or not we're going to create a PIGat the same time, if I do my own research in
regards to the request from the police department to increase wages—can that be presented at
that time as well to share with the board, so the board can see the positives or the negatives of
my findings based on their request from the salary of police chief and deputy chief?
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Yeah. I mean, I think that the agenda—when it's time to
develop the agenda, Glynis can work with you on determining what agenda items you want on
the next—discussion can definitely be had as a group. So
Page 38
Salary Commission
MS. GREENBAUM: Thank you.
June 8, 2023
MS. FRENZ: So, this is DCC Cody. So, Commissioner Greenbaum, under anyone else who
were to gather information and would like to have it disseminated, you would you could and
should provide that information to—you all should have several emails that include the requisite
people that should always be in the main cc's that's Glynis, myself, Emarie Carvalho, Director
Leopoldino, Danny Patel. There isn't an email—wait, Michele, too, right? No. Okay.
So, if you were to use, say, for example, hit "reply all" to that those threads that you received
information today and yesterday or the day before that information, ultimately, the chair can
add matters to the upcoming agenda without Commission action, right, if he finds it to be
relevant.
Keep in mind, everyone, so use a real easy number—although I'm adding a day—is seven days
in advance should be the drop -dead date in which you are considering to ask to add anything to
the agenda. Under Sunshine, we have to post an agenda by law a certain number of days before
our next hearing.
So, while there are methods to amend an agenda, depending on the type of amendment that you
are seeking, I almost always will recommend against it. There are certain provisions that, again,
the Statute requires—when you can and how you amend an agenda. But if it's something that
the general population or the public would have a significant interest in, the answer would be
"no" not to amend the agenda.
So, if you figure, easy number seven days in advance. If you provide that information via a
"reply all" emails and if it doesn't quite fit within an actual agenda item that we already know
has either been tabled or will be on the agenda, we can have—ask the chair if he's willing to add
that to the agenda.
So, you could provide all of that documentation that you, likewise, obtained and Glynis or
myself can "blind copy" all of the Commissioners and provide that to everyone for their
dissemination and information. Does that make sense, Commissioner Greenbaum?
MS. GREEN13AUM: Yes, thank you.
MS. FRENZ: Great.
MS. GREEN13AUM: Thank you, DCC Cody.
MS. FRENZ: And there could be a lot of information that gets disseminated by email and maybe
it won't be on the agenda—maybe we didn't make that agenda item and it will be on a
subsequent one. But there will likely be a lot of emails that provide information and that's solely
for informational purposes, consideration purposes, and maybe it'll be on a subsequent or a
future agenda—and not necessarily the next one. If we miss that timeframe that's okay, we
have another one.
Page 39
Salary Commission
June 8, 2023
If we're getting really close and you guys want to do two meetings in a month, as long as we
have a week's notice and everyone can make it or we have a quorum, we can agendize it, right.
So, just keep in that if you use the seven days as a rule of thumb it's six but if you use
seven it'll provide us time to make sure that we can confer with the chair.
MS. NAKAMA: Commissioner Teresa Nakama, District 8. Point of clarification, when you say
seven days' notice—is it seven business working days or weekend included?
MS. FRENZ: So, if, for example, if our hearing is today, Thursday, then that means the Friday
before is the deadline to post the agenda. So, that would include your weekend. So, that's the
our meeting is Thursday—today is Thursday—our agenda would need to be—would have been
posted by the Friday before, for example.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you.
6. D. Request For Information From Department Of Human Resources for Salary
Commissioners
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Moving on to Item number 6D on the agenda.
MR. NELSON: So, this is Commissioner Nelson. So, I didI sent a note to Glynda or to
Glynis—about the, basically, this sheet that shows a comparison of the County department
(inaudible) and the resident population, as well as the positions on there, it compares it with the
County, the budgets—I think it's a very good piece of information. I would like to see if we
have the next lower—the person that's in the bargaining unit or person that's the next lower
what their salary was included in there.
Because I think—what's hap—what I'd like to see, I think in some cases, like, in the police is
that the underlings are making more than the bosses. Okay. So, I'd like to—I think if adding
that to this sheet would, kind of, show it would show that as a comparison and then show the
budget.
MS. FRENZ: This is DCC Cody. If I could clarify, Commissioner Nelson, are you looking
for—'cause a lot of it is overtime supported, right, forso, you are—I think what we could do or
maybe I have to defer to Director Leopoldino on exactly how that would be obtained—but I do
think that's beneficial because you are right. And that was the biggest complaint the police
commission got is that the assistant chiefs made a lot more than the chief and the deputy chief
and—but a lot of that is tied to overtime—which is really hard to, kind of, gauge but
MR. NELSON: If there's a way yeah. If overtime's a factorI mean, I don't know, right
but, I mean, then that maybe would be in parenthesis on the side, right—or a notation on there.
But, I mean, that I mean, I think that's a comparison, it needs to be made.

June 8, 2023
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you, Chair Nelson, we can provide you with that
information. We have provided that similar report in the past. It's to address any potential for
inversion—salary inversion. So, I have that noted. Thank you.
Any other discussion?
MS. NAKAMA: Commissioner Teresa Nakama, District 8. On 6D, request for information
from department it would be as our body, as a whole, requesting—and do you need our
approval for this 6D item?
MR. LEOPOLDINO: I think, for right now, we're having discussion. So, one of the items was
proposed by Commissioner Nelson, I think, we could take a motion after we've developed the
list or I'm just, right now, for discussionso, if you have an item, we can discuss it—that you
want to request.
MS. FRENZ: This is DCC Cody. And you're also free to send email communications, pick up
the phone and call Glynis, for example, and say, "I'd also like to know if Director Leopoldino
could get us the following." But this is an agenda item, so there can be a conversation about the
various pieces of information pieces of the puzzle, so to speak, for the task before you that you
might find relevant and you may think of something later.
So, you can make the request to Glynis and myself and/or Director Leopoldino. We just want to
make sure there's one conforming method of requests, so that—one, the Department of Human
Resources and I and Glynis can track them. And, also, make sure that they're disseminated upon
receipt to everybody here, right, so that you are always all on the same page in that sense.
So, if you think of something afterwards, you are free to email Glynis and say, "I'd alsoI also
think thisa copy of this would be beneficial for myself and my fellow Commissioners to
have"—and she can make the request to get it and then disseminate it to everyone.
MR. NELSON: Okay, this is Commissioner Nelson, again. So, I do have one other request. I
think you mentioned for the BU13, right—the exempt people are getting those same salaries
and there, kind of, what the step increases were is it possible to summarize that, say, what the
total amount was? Yeah, was that, like, 8 percent or 10 percent? I, kind of, added it on the
sheet, on the side thing but what the formal—what the real number would be through today.
Because I assume, like the people that we're looking for—most of them are, like, considered
exempt employees, right. So, whatever the exempt raises were, if they were not outside of the
bargaining—outside of that arrangement, they would have gotten those increases.
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama, Commissioner from District 8. Commissioner Nelson, what
is the piece of paper you're holding in your hand that we don't have?
MR. NELSON: This is the pay increases.
Page 41
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
MS. NAKAMA: Pay increases?
MR. NELSON: It's
MS. FRENZ: Maybe I can clarify, Commissioner Nelson. For example, let's say the fire
department, for example, the assistant chiefs are considered excluded managerial, right is that
what you're looking for
MR. NELSON: Yeah
MS. FRENZ: Okay.
MR. NELSON: What is the percentage, what's the increase that they get over that time?
MS. FRENZ: Got it.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: So, the percentage increase is actually what is summarized.
I'm not sure if I'm missing it. So, for BU13, the excluded is 73. And so, they're receiving these
increases. So, July 1st, 2022 that's going to be their increase, the 2 percent.
MR. NELSON: Well, what I'm asking forso, like, in 2019 it was a 2.15 percent increase.
And then in 2020, there was a 2.03 increase.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Oh, so you want prior years' information?
MR. NELSON: Yeah.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Sure.
MR. NELSON: What's the accumulative amount.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Sure.
MR. NELSON: That's what I was—I added it up myself on the side of the chart—okay, but I
don't—you're the guys that (inaudible).
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Any further discussion? I just want to reiterate what DCC
Cody is saying with regard to your request. Again, we this is our first meeting and we don't
expect you all to know what you want at this second. And, hopefully, after you review all the
data and the information we're providing, you may have requests that you would like to put in.
And so, I'm deferring to the instructions that DCC Cody provided to you all—as long as you put
in that request per her instructions—we're happy to receive them after this meeting. Thank you.
Page 42
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama, District 8. Clarification, please—in other words, each
member of this Commission can contact HR Department and say, "We need the information
from"—'cause it says—request for information from the HR Department—Resource for Salary
Commissioners? So, we each, as individual can contact the HR Department and request for their
information?
MS. FRENZ: This is DCC Cody. Here would be my—let me reiterate my preference for
communications and request for information.
If you in a perfect world to streamline the process and make sure that no one is doing, kind of,
double work or double collection of work if you use the email thread that was—for email
sent I believe this morning and yesterday—as recent as yesterday from Glynis—if—that
includes myself, Emarie—which is my legal technician, Emarie Carvalho, it has Director
Leopoldino, Deputy Director Patel, for example—we can all stay on the same page that you, for
example, Commissioner Nakama, is asking for "x"—in that way, if Commissioner Greenbaum
asks for the exact same thing, we already know we have a request, no one's duplicating any
work.
So, if you use those email threads as opposed to a phone call—and I would prefer that you do it
that way as opposed to directly contacting Director Leopoldino—he has an ample number of
other daily duties and tasks. But if we can use the same collective email correspondence to
ensure that we're all on the same page regarding the request—who's going to get it, who's going
to obtain it, has it been obtained—we'll ensure no one duplicates it. And then, we will rely on
either myself or our amazing Glynis Yamada to disseminate it collectively, to everyone, at the
same time.
MS. NAKAMA: Can we "cc" the other members what we're sending to you?
MS. FRENZ: No. No, you cannot. That would violate Sunshine.
MS. NAKAMA: Oh, I see. So, any information we are requesting—not we're sharing but
we're requesting, we can "cc" the others?
MS. FRENZ: No. No, you cannot. That violates Sunshine. The real reason why it violates
Sunshine is you are conferring on agenda items. So, if you "cc" everybody in there and you say,
"I would like a copy of `x`—and someone hits "reply all" and says, "That sounds great because
I'd like to discuss this"—and then someone else hits reply you are now collectively, even if it's
via email, having email correspondence about agenda items. And that violates Sunshine.
So, that's why you will see when we are disseminating packets, information it will be an email.
So, what you don't know is that the emails that Glynis sends or that I have sent, where we "cc' d"
Director Leopoldino and Mr. Patel and Emarieyou guys are "blind copied." So, you are
getting that. It looks like we're emailing ourselves, but you guys are getting it. And you will
see—I will say, "Aloha, Commissioners via bcc"Glynis ends her signature saying, "Salary
Commissioners are bcc'd in this email."
Page 43
Salary Commission June 8, 2023
So, that's how we disseminate to everyone, one time, and we don't violate Sunshine.
MS. NAKAMA: So, you folks can do it but we can't.
MS. FRENZ: We are not that's because we're not conversing. No, that is not accurate. So, let
me declare
MS. NAKAMA: Okay.
MS. FRENZ: that is not accurate. I can't violate Sunshine just like you can't violate
Sunshine.
MS. NAKAMA: Oh, okay.
MS. FRENZ: But I am not conferring with all of you. We are providing you information and
ensuring that there's not a conferral. So, if you hit "reply all"—you'll only get us. You're not
getting any other Commissioners—
MS. NAKAMA: I see.
MS. FRENZ: which means there's no conferral with the Commissioners. We're just
providing information. Yeah.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. Any further discussions?
Unfinished Business (Item 7)
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Moving on to Item number 7 on the agenda, "Unfinished
Business (for discussion and appropriate action)" I'm sure there's no
MS. YAMADA: There are none.

MR. NELSON: I can come on the 11th but on the 13th I'll be on the mainland traveling.
MS. NAKAMA: Teresa Nakama, District 8. I can be here on the 13th. The 11th is when the
mayor comes to Kona office. So, depending on his schedule, whether I can do it on the 11th I'd
have to talk to his Executive Secretary Tammylyn.
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Commissioner Nelson.
MR. NELSON: I think either day would work for me.
MS. GREENBAUM: And either date works for me.
MS. KAWA`AUHAU: Commissioner Kawa`auhau
ACTING CHR. LEOPOLDINO: Yeah, I'm sorry, we missed that, Dr. Kawa`auhau.
