Motion carried. <br />Communication No. 23-06.01, Dated September 6, 2023, From Acting Director Of Human <br />Resources, Danny B. Patel, To Salary Commission Chair Steven Pavao And Members, <br />Responding To Their Inquiry Concerning Future Salary Adiustments <br />CHR. CABANAS: Moving along to Communication number 23-06.01. <br />(At this time, Mr. Danny B. Patel, Acting Director, Human Resources Department, came <br />forward.) <br />CHR. CABANAS: Thank you, Mr. Patel thank you for sitting at the dais and thank you very <br />much for your September 6h, 2023, memo to Steven Pavao, Chair, and Members of the County <br />of Hawaii Salary Commission. <br />Has everyone reviewed this communication? Are there any questions for Mr. Patel? I have one, <br />while the Board members are looking at the memo. Going to Number 2, just for clarification <br />purposes the question was, "How many employee's does the department/agency employ?" <br />You reported 35 positions including permanent civil service positions, a temp. equipment <br />operators instructor, a student helper, and a director and deputy director, 10 intern positions, 20 <br />workers' compensation positions, and 20 temporary on-call positions for a total of 85 positions. <br />So, that is sort of like the big picture for the Salary Commission, but not all these positions are <br />filledcorrect, Mr. Patel? <br />MR. PATEL: Yes, that is correct. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. So, how many of these 85 positions are currently filled—do you <br />know? <br />MR. PATEL: So, we have 35 positionsso, really, 33 if you take out the temp. equipment <br />operations instructor and the student helper. Of the remaining 33, I believe, currently, we have 4 <br />positions vacant. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Four civil service positions vacant. <br />MR. PATEL: Correct. Yes. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Out of—wait, you have 33 filled. <br />MR. PATEL: So, 33 permanent civil serviceoh, sorry -33 regular, full-time positions. So, <br />that would include the deputy and director, which are not the civil service positions. Then 31 <br />civil service positions. And then, of the 31, I think it's 4 that are currently vacant. <br />Page 10 <br />
