<br />Salary Commission September 24, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: ‘Cause that was an increase. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: So, “After its July 2024 pay increase”— <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Yeah. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: —“the County of Hawaiʻi Salary Commission deferred”— <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: —"deferred further salary adjustments”— <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: —“further salary adjustments”— <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Yeah. ‘Cause then, right? Yeah. <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: That’s fine, that makes sense. <br /> <br />ʻAUHAUʻauhau. <br />MS. KAWA: So, this is Commissioner Kawa So, the beginning—‘cause, if <br />I’m correct, you corrected it to, “In 2024, the COH Salary Commission deferred salary <br />adjustments to afford the collective bargaining”—blah, blah. And then, you want to add back— <br />so you want to make it specific to say, “After pay increases in 2024”—I mean, (inaudible)— <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: “After the July 2024 5% pay increase, the COH Salary Commission deferred <br />further salary adjustments.” <br /> <br />MS. KAWAʻAUHAU: Okay, ‘cause then your language doesn’t have “adjustments” in it either, <br />right. It just says, “in 2024.” And then, you wanted to add back— <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Well, I just wanted—so one, the word “adjustment” was (inaudible) me <br />out—and second, just to focus on what’s the last thing we did. <br /> <br />MS. KAWAʻAUHAU: Okay. And then, the adjustment, again, is okay—that second <br />adjustment? <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: You’re taking the “adjustment” out. <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Yeah, because “further salary adjustments” then becomes a generic label. <br />It’s just descriptive—whereas, previously, we’ve had to use adjustments as a proper noun— <br /> <br />MS. KAWAʻAUHAU: Right. <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Right? <br /> <br />MS. KAWAʻAUHAU: Yeah. <br /> <br />Page 19 <br /> <br /> <br />
