<br /> <br />Ms. Kierkiewicz asked if Mr. Espejo made the recommendation because the <br />computers were slow. Mr. Espejo replied their one (1) centralized computer is really, <br />really slow. Mr. Espejo found out that within the County, all departments have different <br />platforms; for IT, everything does not go into one (1) central computer, which is the <br />biggest problem. Ms. Garson said some do and some don’t because if they are offsite <br />and renting a facility it might be something different. Mr. Espejo agreed with expedited <br />purchase of upgraded computers. <br /> <br />Discussion held and recommendation amended to read as follows: <br /> <br />Motion and Vote <br />: Mr. Espejo moved to approve the recommendation as <br />amended. The motion was seconded by Mr. Mitchell and all <br />Commissioners present voted aye. <br /> <br />GG. Allow Legislative Auditor department staff to work remotely, with access <br />to centralized information system, to improve efficiency. (11/6/14 meeting <br />minutes, pg 4) <br /> <br />Discussion held and incorporated into item “FF”. <br /> <br />HH. Create a Kailua-Kona Mass Transit base yard to save downtime while <br />responding to trouble calls, increasing efficiency to the public. Currently <br />the only base yard is in Hilo requiring mechanics to be dispatched to <br />respond to breakdowns island-wide. Kailua-Kona base yard would allow <br />buses to be repaired in West Hawai‘i rather than being towed to Hilo. <br />(Comm. 2014-080 recommendation from T. Kai, 4/3/14) <br /> <br />Discussion held and recommendation deleted. <br /> <br />7. PREVIOUSLY APPROVED RECOMMENDATIONS SUBJECT TO LANGUAGE <br /> REVISION FOR THE FINAL REPORT <br /> <br />A. Explore a flexible schedule model for employees. (Recommendation <br />approved 12/4/14 meeting) <br /> <br />Ms. Maddox asked Ms. Kierkiewicz if she had any suggested language for this <br />recommendation. Ms. Kierkiewicz replied the Commission could cite R & D as having a <br />successful model; they seem to be happy with what they are going. Ms. Garson said it <br />is not necessarily a model; an employee can get flex time if they get specific approval. <br /> <br />Ms. Maddox noted the Office of Aging has a lot of events on the weekends <br />and employees coordinate their schedules during the week to be able to do that. <br />Mr. Mitchell stated the County Council has a carry over where an employee can <br />accumulate flex time; they are currently addressing this issue and want to eliminate this <br />concept of carry over. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />24 <br /> <br /> <br />
