Page 20 <br />1 MR. PAVAO: I <br />have a <br />comment. <br />2 First of all, <br />thank <br />you for the report. You <br />3 did a good job. <br />4 From the last meeting, when we were talking <br />5 about the police chief, I knew this thing would <br />6 snowball, because it's not only the police chief, fire <br />7 chief; everybody else. So my comment to you -- or <br />8 maybe if you guys ever thought of this, but one way to <br />9 solve the problem within each department -- and it may <br />10 not be good. I don't know -- have something similar to <br />11 the Department of Water Supply, where the board or the <br />12 commission, whatever it may be -- you folks -- have the <br />13 right to adjust the fire chief's salary without the <br />14 Salary Commission's -- in other words, it would require <br />15 a charter amendment to do that. That way, you can keep <br />16 abreast of things going on. <br />17 Because for the Salary Commission to do that, <br />18 you have to be constantly looking at everything that's <br />19 going on within all the departments, but if each <br />20 commission could do that by themselves, it would get <br />21 easier; you would be able to set the pay, and you could <br />22 look at the, you know, equity among ranks. That's just <br />23 a comment. And, like I said, that would require a <br />24 charter amendment. <br />25 I don't know if that's the right way to go or <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br />(808) 933-9800 <br />
