Salary Commission January 17, 2024 CHR. PAVAO: Thank you. MS. NAKAMA: Excuse me, Commissioner Nakama here, can I speak? MR. FARAHL (Inaudible) from the HR Director. How much is the Auditor getting paid on a monthly basis. I think it's somewhere in here. CHR. PAVAO: It's in the email. MR. FARAHL It'll take me a week to find it. MS. GREENBAUM: I think it says, 12,900. MR. FARAHL Okay, that's before or after the adjustment that we just voted on? CHR. PAVAO: It's the January Ist salary. MR. FARAHL Huh? CHR. PAVAO: January Ist, 2024, salary. It's the current salary. MR. FARAHL Okay, so it's adjusted, right? So, it has to be in the general neighborhood and also it could be a question of gender equity and different kind of things that are associated, if those two people watching—five people—and have a similar budget and one is getting paid less than the other one despite the confusion. So, I would suggest, Mr. Chairman, that make it an even number. And I don't know what the Counselor has in mind that if we made a different kind of an adjustment, there is three more months of this involved. And if we make no adjustment and say okay (inaudible) MS. NAKAMA: Hello, we cannot hear you. MR. FARAHL (Inaudible) there is no more three meetings involved, right? MS. FRENZ: So—this is DCC Frenzso, to answer your question, let me repeat it— Commissioner tCommissioner Nakama and Commissioner Dudoit, let me repeat Vice -Chair Farahi's comments. I believe your question was in comparing what the Director of Human Resources indicated as the most comparable, which is the County Auditor's, your thought was either we do—we remain status quo and then we don't need to come back and continue our process, which would be a minimum of about three months just like we did recently for overall revamping of salary schedules for excluded managerial positions. Or we do something more in line with what the County Auditor is. Is that correct, sir? Page 12
