<br />Salary Commission December 19, 2024 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: All right. So, this is Commissioner Luahiwa Namahoe. My motion is to <br />adopt the proposed Findings that were originally—or listed in Communication number 24-06.01 <br />st <br />for the salary adjustment to be effective January 1, 2025. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: Okay, is there a second to that amended motion? <br /> <br />MR. RIORDAN: Commissioner Riordan. I second that. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: Okay. It’s been moved and second. Any discussion? Hearing none, we’ll go <br />ahead and take a vote. All those in favor of accepting the motion, signify by saying aye. All <br />opposed? <br /> <br />The voice vote was as follows: <br /> <br />AYES: Commissioners Dudoit, Greenbaum, Kawaʻauhau, Namahoe, Nelson, Riordan, <br />and Chair Pavao – 7. <br />OPPOSED: None. <br />ABSENT & EXCUSED: None. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: The motion carried. Okay. <br /> <br />Announcements (Item 7) <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: We can move on to the next item on the agenda, is “Announcements.” I don’t <br />have any announcements myself. <br /> <br />Schedule Next Meeting Date (Item 8) <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: Our Salary Commission’s next scheduled meeting date is Thursday, January <br />th <br />30, at 10 a.m., here in the Council Chambers, 25 Aupuni Street. <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: So, I’d like to discuss that. I’d like to see if we—I think we should move our <br />next meeting date out till June or July or sometime after the contract negotiations for the rest of <br />the salaries (inaudible) are figured out because, basically, we shouldn’t be setting a salary higher <br />than what the other regular workers are going to be getting—the union negotiators going to get. <br /> <br />So we—I don’t—I think we need to wait until we see how that contract negotiation happens. <br />Basically, everybody got a raise effective beginning of July, so I think we can hold off until—at <br />least until then, until we do the next—review it again. <br /> <br />So, I would propose that to the group that we move our next meeting out to June or July. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: Yeah—Commissioner Pavao. I agree with that. I think most of the collective <br />th <br />bargaining contracts that are currently in effect, end June 30, 2025. And the State and the <br />counties are now all in active collective bargaining negotiations—so I think it’s a good idea. I <br />Page 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
