HAWAII COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSIONPage 12 of 69 HERKES: SR-20 is what? YOSHIYAMA: Yeah, I -. HERKES: I’ve got it somewhere. YOSHIYAMA: Okay, that would be equivalent in the range -, and that is, I guess, subject to negotiations, you know, as we sit down, you know, with a likely candidate. The range of pay an hour would be anywhere from $14.53 an hour to $22.37 an hour. SANTANGELO: Twenty-two? YOSHIYAMA: Twenty-two thirty-seven an hour. SANTANGELO: Pretty good money. HERKES: Plus benefits. YOSHIYAMA: Yeah, well, at this point, there’s no benefits. HIGASHI: What would be the benefits be? ALONZO: No benefits. HIGASHI: They take care their own medical, yeah. YOSHIYAMA: It’s 19 hours but, you know, well, the other benefits or what we may negotiate, as we will put it under the heading of a stipend, is if this person bring their own office with them, their own office equipment, etcetera, and then we would negotiate a stipend, you know, with them. HERKES: And we also talked about using the County Information Offices as the intake for the inquiries from the public -. RAY: Okay, that’s -. HERKES: Then they could call the Kona and Hilo office, and there could be a referral number for them to refer calls to. RAY: There’s a separate item here which I thought about combining it, it says office space, so let’s go ahead and kind of -, we can incorporate that into this discussion, as well, so, yeah, how that would work so -. HERKES: I think in the discussions that we’ve had that the office space is not necessary to have office space, that probably what we need is a file cabinet that locks, that we can put our tapes in, that we can put our material in, but we don’t need an office per se. RAY: And we need -, we also need a drop-off mechanism, right? HERKES: Yeah, right. file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 4-14-99.html7/1/2011
