Item 5. Okay. . Item 6This came straight from the employee, so if we include this just as it is, we are saying that this is what we’re saying. So, do we want to say this? I’d say we might want to drop off F. MS. PROVALENKO: Yeah. I agree. It kind of takes it out of sinc with everything else. That’s why I had to go back to the very first sentence to see exactly where that pertained. MS. NICHOLSON: You want to take out F on Item 6 Section A? MR. MATSUDA: Yes. MS. NICHOLSON: Item 7. We fine with that? MS. PROVALENKO: Yes. MS. NICHOLSON: Item 8. I would want to just make sure that this information is accurate as it is now stated. Does accrual of vacation and sick leave, is that 14 hours per month per employee? MR. MATSUDA: Yes. MR. TAKABA: 21 days a year. MR. MATSUDA: Comes out to 14 hours. MS. NICHOLSON: So this is accurate. We fine with 8? MS. PROVALENKO: Yes. MS. NICHOLSON: Item 9. Fine with 9. Item 10. By the time this goes to the County Council, the budget will already be set for the following year. So I guess my concern with 10 is, is there still going to be time? I like the thought of allowing employees to take time off if they want to. I mean to work less. MS. GARSON: Doesn’t this go with your six? MS. NICHOLSON: Is it the same thing as six? MS. PROVALENKO: I have a question, Bill. If I’m reading in the paper correctly, the mayor can change the amount of furlough days? MR. TAKABA: He cannot go beyond two. MS. PROVALENKO: But you can take it back. MR. TAKABA: Yeah, he can take it back. 24
