<br />Salary Commission September 24, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />So, it further clarifies inversion in 12—so, if we move 10, we would have to move 12, too. <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: So, just get 11 out of the way. “The Salary Commission considered all of the <br />above information and determined it was necessary to be competitive with current compensation <br />of Covered Positions to ensure the County’s ability to both retain and recruit qualified <br />employees.” <br /> <br />Like, make that the precursor to what is now 11 and 12? So, I’m—so, again, I’m looking at old <br />11—taking old 11, put it right behind Number 9. And then, moving 11, right in front of 12. And <br />then we can look at—‘cause Number 11 is short and sweet; 10 is also good. I think both of these <br />are all solid points, but if we can focus on Number 12 and, kind of, make sure that we’re <br />cleaning that up and not being duplicative/repetitive. <br /> <br />MS. FRENZ: So, if I understand correctly, you want to move old 11 to where? <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: To behind Number 9. <br /> <br />MS. FRENZ: Old Number 9, right? <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Yeah. So, “Covered Positions have not and currently are not scheduled to <br />st <br />receive any increases in salaries since July 1, 2024.” <br /> <br />“The County of Hawaiʻi Salary Commission considered all the above information and <br />determined it was necessary to be competitive with the current compensation of Covered <br />Positions to ensure the County’s ability to”—retain qualified employees. <br /> <br />Then going into, “The County of Hawaiʻi Salary Commission notes that it’s quite often <br />department heads”—it’s almost like then 11—by moving old 11 behind 9, then it starts the <br />defense of looking at the inversion concerns. Eleven seems like precursor language. We good <br />with that? <br /> <br />MR. RIORDAN: So you want 11 to become 10? <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Yes. And then, 10 could be 11. ‘Cause 11 needs to be— <br /> <br />CHR. PAVAO: It’s fine. I’m fine with that (inaudible). <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Yeah, that needs to be next to 12. <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: That’s fine. I think we just need to add somewhere in there that if there <br />becomes an inversion as a result of the negotiations, we will re-address it. That’s not included in <br />here—that needs to be added, basically, I think, right? <br /> <br />And I think it should be added in that new paragraph 11. <br /> <br />Page 27 <br /> <br /> <br />
