^ f Hawaii County Charter Commission -4- January 16, 1979 <br /> to focus authority and responsibility for this function. <br /> Each department head, each supervisor, is responsible for personnel <br /> management in his department within the laws, rules and regulations in effect. ' <br /> Up to July 1, 1978, through Section 76-38, HRS, the personnel director <br /> had considerable responsibility in the training function and we did the best <br /> we could with what we had. For an indication you may refer to the attached <br /> documents. <br /> After July 1, 1978, Section 76-38, HRS, was repealed by Act 48, SLH 1978 <br /> (S. B. No. 1533-78). The responsibility for a statewide training program <br /> rests with state officials who are guided by an advisory committee on training <br /> which includes the personnel directors of the counties. In the same manner <br /> our function should be to guide and give consultation to the operating <br /> departments in their training programs, but the actual responsibility for <br /> the training rests or should rest with each operating department. <br /> Since the responsibility for training by the Department of Personnel <br /> Services in Section 76-38, HRS, has been repealed and we must function <br /> according to statute, it is only logical to put the training responsibility <br /> in the departments with the Department of Personnel Services providing <br /> consultative expertise as requested. <br /> This concludes my presentation. If you have any questions, I will be <br /> glad to answer them. <br /> EDWARD L. SILVA <br /> • Director of Personnel Services <br /> attachments <br />
