HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 11 of 69
<br />RAY: The -.
<br />IRVINE: Okay.
<br />RAY: Correspondences -.
<br />HERKES: Gary -.
<br />RAY: From Gary.
<br />HERKES: Has done a lot of work with the County, and I want to thank Gary, too, for all the work he’s
<br />done. Gary, Kevin, and I met about two weeks ago or three weeks ago, and the three of us decided that a
<br />personal service contract was the way we wanted to go since the Commission has voted to hire staff
<br />rather than a contract staff. A personal service contract would run from June through March 2000; if our
<br />schedule changes, we’ll need to look at the changes in that, too. We’re working on the job description; I
<br />need to get some things to Gary to finalize it. We want to put it out, advertise it, and the County will do
<br />that for us, Civil Service will do that for us. SR-20 is the pay rate; if we use the employee’s equipment,
<br />we may want to pay, we may want to change that a little. If we hire an employee that has their own
<br />equipment, we may want to do something different. We are in negotiation -, well, we’re in discussion.
<br />It’ll depend on who that person is. We haven’t put any advertisement yet. The personal service contract -
<br />, maybe I’ll ask Gary to explain a personal service contract; it’s a Civil Service status.
<br />YOSHIYAMA: Okay, we’re going the route of a personal services contract, and while this person will
<br />be a temporary employee, non-Civil Service, working, I think Marni mentioned, 19 hours a week, okay.
<br />And then, I guess, if the Commission sees fit that on a continuous basis this person or this -, we need the
<br />services of this employee for longer, then, you know, we can renegotiate the contract. Okay.
<br />RAY: Suppose you just -, how flexible is that in terms of the renegotiation? In other words if, you know,
<br />all of a sudden you’re into, you know, more time, I mean do you have to stop and renegotiate before
<br />you, you know, require more services or how does that work?
<br />YOSHIYAMA: Oh, no, no. If you’re talking like specifically in terms of hours.
<br />RAY: Yeah.
<br />YOSHIYAMA: No, you don’t have to. I mean, we can go beyond 19 hours as it is, you know -.
<br />HERKES: And beyond the term of the contract.
<br />YOSHIYAMA: Even if we have a contract. Yeah.
<br />HERKES: Too, by extending, and Gary says it’s fairly simple to extend.
<br />YOSHIYAMA: Yeah. And I have -, we have a sample of the personnel services contract with attached
<br />to it is a job description, and also attached the updated version of the class specifications, and this was
<br />th
<br />updated, you know, really for our purposes. It was updated by Civil Service Department on April the 9,
<br />and really the major thing that they updated in there is the computer and periphery type equipment.
<br />SANTANGELO: What’s the salary on SR-20?
