<br />Salary Commission September 24, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: Yeah. <br /> <br />MS. FRENZ: So, if you would—I would consider just formatting purposes, that second line, <br />that word “collective”—with a capital “C”. I would also, the first parenthesis that say <br />“(“collectively, BUs”)”—I think that “collectively”—if we’re going to be consistent with <br />Number 1, it would say “(collectively hereinafter”—and only “BUs” would be in parenthesis <br />because “collectively” is not a part of the term. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: Mm-hmm. <br /> <br />MS. FRENZ: So, it would say, “(collectively hereinafter,”—and then in parenthesis “(“BU’s”)” <br />closed parenthesis—closed quote, closed parenthesis. Just to ensure that consistency throughout <br />how we attack number—how we approach Number 1, to say “(collectively hereinafter”)”; and I <br />would also then add the last parenthesis, in this section in front of “(“Excluded Managers”)” I <br />would also include “(collectively hereinafter”)”. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: Mm—that’s good, be consistent, yeah. <br /> <br />MS. FRENZ: Any other changes for Number 4, which will become the new Number 2. Okay. <br /> <br />Moving on to current Number 5, which will, theoretically, become the new Number 3, it states, <br />“After its 2024 adjustments, the County of Hawaiʻi Salary Commission deferred further salary <br />adjustments to afford the collective bargaining units to negotiate contracts for the next four <br />years. HGEA negotiated the following raises for its members in bargaining unit 13 for the next <br />four years: year one: 3.5% increase, year two: 3.79% increase, year three: 4% increase and year <br />four: 4% increase.” <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: Can I just suggest changing—instead of the— <br /> <br />MS. FRENZ: Microphone. <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: I’m just suggesting to change in the first sentence to say, delete the “After its <br />2024 adjustments”—just say, “In 2024, the COH Salary Commission deferred salary <br />adjustments”—so delete the “further” and delete “After its 2024 adjustments”— <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: Yeah, I think that’s good— <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: Just to make it consistent with the tell of the story going forward—what we did <br />in 2024—so we’re going to wait, which is what we did, going to see what the Unions negotiated, <br />and then take it from there. So, just changing that a little. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: I agree with that—“After its 2024 adjustments”—kind of refers to Number 2, <br />but Number 2 is not there anymore, yeah. <br /> <br />Page 17 <br /> <br /> <br />
