Salary Commission <br />Call to Order (Item 1) <br />August 27, 2024 <br />CHR. PAVAO: Call the meeting to order. We'll start with rollcall, we can start at this end. <br />MR. RIORDAN: Commissioner Riordan. <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Commissioner Namahoe. <br />MR. PAVAO: Commissioner Pavao. <br />MS. KAWA`AUHAU: Commissioner Kawa`auhau. <br />MR. NELSON: Commissioner Nelson. <br />MR. PAVAO: Okay. So, we have five members present. <br />MS. FRENZ: And good morning, Chair—Deputy Corporation Counsel Cody Frenz on behalf of <br />the Salary Commission, and Glynis Yamada is also—was present. She stepped out for some <br />contact information but she will be back. <br />I don't believe we have anyone on Zoom. <br />Statements from the Public (Item 2) <br />CHR. PAVAO: Okay, so we'll move on to—on our agenda "Statements from the Public" on <br />agenda items" we have Managing Director Deanna Sako. <br />(At this time, Ms. Deanna Sako, Managing Director, Office of the Mayor, came forward.) <br />MS. SAKO: Good morning. And I'm very grateful for the sunny weather. <br />So, after the last meeting, I just provide written testimony—some of us left and we were just <br />confused about how that salary was determined (SEE ATT. A/COMM. NO. 24-05). And, really, <br />it seems like it was taken from one testimony that was provided earlier that day without any <br />context given as to where that came from. <br />So, I will put a little bit of this in context for you guys. This is the first new department with an <br />appointed department head since the year 2000. And in the year 2000, the last department that <br />was created was the Department of Environmental Management—and that was really splitting <br />off part of the Department of Public Works into the Department of Environmental Management. <br />So, very different from this. <br />Page 2 <br />
