Salary Commission July 31, 2024 <br />CHR. PAVAO: Any further discussion? We'll go ahead and vote then. All those in favor of the <br />motion to set the salary at 125,000 signify by saying aye. Any opposed? No opposed? <br />The voice vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Commissioners Dudoit, Greenbaum, Kawa`auhau, Namahoe, Nelson, Riordan, <br />and Chair Pavao – 7. <br />OPPOSED: None. <br />ABSENT & EXCUSED: None. <br />CHR.
