And the <br />ones who are not Department Heads are the physicians, the Safety Coordinator, and the Band Director. So you would have to <br />say that in the Charter. <br />YOSHIYAMA: Pretty much as what the Salary Commission did in their proposal. <br />YUEN: Yes. <br />HERKES: It’s probably why they did it. <br />IRVINE: Actually, don’t we have two Band Directors in our Charter at this point? <br />MARTIN: No we do not. Leave the band alone. <br />IRVINE: No, I think we have two in the Charter. <br />MARTIN: It makes mention of East and West. There’s not two. <br />IRVINE: But this is just one Band Director. I guess they only pay one. <br />RAY: So, assuming we’d have to list all these positions, just from a sale-ability standpoint, I think that’s somewhat of a <br />negative. <br />HERKES: Yes, it sure does. <br />IRVINE: In the future, our Managing Director will be head of a department because we’ve made it a Department of <br />Management, so those two - And isn’t the Housing Agency a Department? I guess it’s not a County Department. <br />YUEN: It is a County Department. The Housing Agency is a Department but it’s not in the Charter. It’s by an ordinance. It <br />would not have to be listed, right. The only ones that would have to be listed are the physicians, Band Director or Directors, <br />and the Safety Coordinator. <br />IRVINE: So it cuts down the list a bit. <br />HERKES: So why doesn’t Maui have to list them? <br />IRVINE: Maybe they’re all in Departments. Maybe they don’t have them. <br />RAY: My sense is, if we’re going to go this route, that it makes sense to pretty much address all these positions. <br />IRVINE: Are the County Physicians really that hard a political decision for the Council to make? I mean, I have a feeling if <br />they threw something out, people would either take it or not. <br />RAY: I don’t recall ever dealing with the County Physicians when I was in the Council. <br />IRVINE: It’s a well kept secret. <br />SANTANGELO: Yes, I don’t know how they got their raises because it didn’t come before us. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 02-09-00.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
