HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 38 of 104 <br />RAY: No, just a gut -. <br />HERKES: Job description. <br />RAY: A gut feeling about, you know, are we talking about a part-time or a full-time and what’s the best <br />way to -? <br />HIGASHI: I’m thinking about a part-time person, whether it’s -. <br />RAY: So Gary, what -, as far as a part-time person, suppose we want to hire somebody half-time. How <br />does that work? <br />YOSHIYAMA: We got several options, I think. You know, we can go contract, you know. You can hire <br />-, contract meaning, you know, private contract. I think Mr. Wurdeman is familiar with that. You can go, <br />you know, hire a public employee, you know. <br />RAY: I guess, okay, I was asking for your input on a public employee more from wearing, you know, <br />your other hat, how that would work. You know, if we were looking at the scenario of, you know, the <br />kind of position you spoke to, being attached to the Mayor’s Office, but we only wanted that person <br />part-time. <br />??? It’s possible to go permanent part-time, isn’t it? <br />YOSHIYAMA: Yeah, you can go permanent part-time. You can get a person, depending upon a number <br />of hours, you know. That could be exempt from Civil Service, exempt from these rules, you know, but <br />we still can use the same job description. That person need not be a Civil Service employee. <br />RAY: Right. <br />HIGASHI: Mr. Chairman? <br />YOSHIYAMA: So -. <br />HIGASHI: I guess we’re getting away from the job description, however, so the choice is a contract <br />person or someone government person, is that the choice we got here? <br />YOSHIYAMA: Yeah, that’s your wide range. <br />??? That’s the whole range. <br />HIGASHI: So we choose one, one or the other. We go contract, we advertise, we hire somebody, <br />whether it’s from a temporary agency or whatever, and we set up an office and we go from there. So just <br />need to find out what kind of person we feel comfortable with. <br />HERKES: Well, I can write you the -. <br />HIGASHI: I like your idea of somebody who is -. <br />HERKES: Job description that I wrote. Gary, you said you don’t think 19½ hours is enough time, and I <br />guess I need to hear what you would have this secretary doing that would take more than 80 hours a <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 3-17-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
