Page 22 <br />1 And I wanted to also add that the -- it's my <br />2 understanding that the union negotiations have been <br />3 completed, but they're still waiting on the results, is what <br />4 I've been told. <br />5 Is that correct, Mr. Brilhante? <br />6 MR. BRILHANTE: For the majority of bargaining <br />7 units, negotiations have been completed. <br />8 MS. SELF: Okay. So that is another piece of the <br />9 puzzle that will be coming to the commissioners; isn't that <br />10 correct? <br />11 MR. BRILHANTE: That's correct. <br />12 MS. SELF: They don't have all the information yet. <br />13 MR. HIGGINS: Well, shouldn't we begin to put <br />14 together some kind of a list of who you want to be sitting <br />15 there, updating us, and giving us as much information and <br />16 background as possible. I mean, I feel right now pretty <br />17 ignorant on what's going on, like whether it's department <br />18 heads or the finance director, et cetera. <br />19 MR. FRATINARDO: My question would be is to <br />20 prioritize. Are we going to give pay raises to everyone as a <br />21 group? Or are we going to prioritize the importance of their <br />22 position, such as public safety? So, that would be my <br />23 question. Who do we bring in first to talk to? Do we <br />24 prioritize those so that -- can we discuss, how do we go <br />25 about prioritizing? <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br />(808) 933-9800 <br />
