We have other suggestions, too, dealing with management, our employees, how we can deal with that because it says if we go according to the other portions, our employees, I have permission to appoint them for my commission; but after I appoint them through personnel, then we follow the provision in this charter, then I have to get approval of the mayor and the council, which I don' t think the intent was that. That portion of that section can be placed within the board of water supply section. MR. YANAGA: What' s your provision right now? MR. FUJIMOTO: I have permission from my commission. I justify it with my commission. It' s included in the budget. Unless it' s budgeted, we cannot have any new hires or increase in pay. This is the first the time Council requires that I have to back to the Council and justify this person. The rest of the Council, they used to just to change the salary ordinance, that' s about it, because our employees' position has to be in the salary ordinance. MR. OMONAKA: Excuse me, you' re not asking that you have the right to reclassify employees within your department. MR. FUJIMOTO: No, no. Classification comes under personnel. MR. OMONAKA: Only to add personnel. MR. FUJIMOTO: That' s right. CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Any clafification or question? Okay. Thank you very much. RECESS : At 6: 30 p.m. , the Chair declared a short recess.
