Salary Commission January 17, 2024 MS. GREENBAUM: Correct. CHR. PAVAO: —and what that salary is. MR. NELSON: So, if I could just add something here. So, basically, I did—'cause this is a positionI did some internet research and there is a governmentsalaries.com. I looked up a Director of Sustainability salary and they had a salary range of 69,000 to 108. I mean, basically, they had an hourly wage. They had a glass door—when I tried to negotiate—glass door had a salary range of 84 to 141, all right. I mean, so there's, basically, there is information out there for different salaries on the internet. It's whether—how much do you trust that or not, okay. On the government salaries, they do have—when I looked at that for that position, it's not a apples to apples position. It was the Director of Sustainability but they do haveI mean, I think that's the most analogous. They do have names that are listed for salary `cause it's publicly available information. So, they're polling it that, and they've got names for different people to put in. So, I don't I mean, I think for my—what I was looking that seemed to be the most relevant for this job maybe—other than the point I mean, I think you guys looked up Honolulu's paying somebody for 150. So, I mean, that's the other thing to point—but Honolulu's a much bigger organization, so it would necessarily be higher. I think that that information is valuable. CHR. PAVAO: That's good information, yeah. Thank you. MR. NELSON: And just as a follow-up note, I think, when we first started this—looking at the other salariesI think the Honolulu Salary Commission ordered a salary survey for all the different positions—and I think we asked for that some time ago, but that was probably four months ago. I mean, I wonder, can we follow-up and ask if the County of Honolulu would share that with us because that might have that position in here, too, that'd be valuable data. MS. GREENBAUM: There's some research I did as well. And in Los Angeles there is a Climate Resiliency Senior Analyst, which is somewhat similar, I guess the salary range there was from 71 to 104 and it looks the required job description, kind of, appeared to be somewhat similar. And then, even is San Mateo, too—and the salary range was pretty comparable to the 80's to 120, I think, in that State that county, I guess. MS. FRENZ: Chair, if I may. Just to provide this is Deputy Corporation Counsel Cody Frenz to clarify as to agenda item Number 4 and more specifically relevant to agenda Item number 5, which you are currently talking about is Communication number's 24-01 and 24- 01.01—and that's in your green folders, everyone—if you haven't already seen it and/or Commissioners via email (SEE ATT. A/COMM. NO. 24-01, AND ATT. B/COMM. NO 24-01.01). Page 4
