Page 26 <br />1 MR. BRILHANTE: You know, during this <br />2 discussion, again, I always go back to what is the <br />3 specific language of the charter. That's always the <br />4 best starting point. It keeps everybody, you know, <br />5 going in the most appropriate direction. And with <br />6 that, if you look at the language of the charter, the <br />7 task of this commission when it comes to setting <br />8 salaries is to request input from the appointing <br />9 authorities as well as the commissions; and from our <br />10 standpoint, a HR standpoint, you know, we also have to <br />11 look at -- the language says to take into consideration <br />12 the salaries of both the private and public sector. <br />13 And some of you weren't here during the first <br />14 meeting, but if you recall, the ones that were here, <br />15 during that first meeting, we had Jenny Sakamoto come <br />16 up, our Classifications and Pay Specialist, division <br />17 head, and she came up and she gave you a bunch of <br />18 documents that specifically related to a report <br />19 generated where the basis of that report was -- it <br />20 identified significant salaries of individuals in the <br />21 private sector that she kind of equated to being <br />22 <br />similar <br />positions <br />to that of <br />the public <br />sector, because <br />23 <br />we know <br />there's a <br />significant <br />difference <br />between two. <br />24 And the salaries were reflective of that. The private <br />25 sector had significantly higher salary. <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br />(808) 933-9800 <br />
