The Honorable James Y. Arakaki
Chair, County Council
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Dear Chair Arakaki:
This is in regards to your February 9, 1998, memorandum transmitting Bill 138,
Draft 4.
The Salary Commission, at its February 17, 1998, meeting, agreed in concept with
allowing the Salary Commission to establish the salaries and salary schedules for
certain individuals, subject to the County Council's possible rejection by a
three-fourths vote within sixty days.
I would point out, however, that Draft 4 is unclear as to how members of the
Salary Commission are appointed and removed. I have enclosed, foryour use, a
draft of that particular portion of Draft 4 which should include language to
provide that Commission members are to be appointed by the Mayor with the
approval of the Council. Members may be removed in the manner prescribed in
Section 13-4(b) of the Charter.
We remain available to provide you with any assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
I
Michael R. Bec, SPHR
