Page 15 <br />1 off into discussion about specific positions and specific <br />2 salaries. <br />3 What I would like to propose for the Salary <br />4 Commission is to undertake a process by which first we go <br />5 through a phase of discovery to find out what the problems <br />6 and issues are, not only with the police department or the <br />7 fire department, but for the entire County of Hawaii where we <br />8 have these positions that will be specifically affected by <br />9 our decision. <br />10 So we go through a period of fact-finding, and it <br />11 might include even getting testimony from department heads or <br />12 from the mayor's office, from the county council, to collect <br />13 this information on which we can make a meaningful decision <br />14 on what to do with the salaries. Along with that, at the <br />15 same time we can have the finance department as part of that. <br />16 Once we do our fact-finding and collection of <br />17 information, then we can go into specific deliberation of <br />18 coming up with a plan for how to address each of these <br />19 positions. I'm sure there are a lot of positions that will <br />20 be affected by what we recommend. <br />21 MS. SELF: Mr. Chairman, if I may, I didn't realize <br />22 you were going to get into this area. But what's on the <br />23 table right now is just correcting the minutes. Are there <br />24 any further corrections to be made of the minutes? <br />25 And any discussion of the substance of the minutes <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br />(808) 933-9800 <br />
