Arakaki and Members of the Hawaii County Council: <br /> My name is Manabu Kimura and I am the State's Chief Negotiator. I am <br /> here today to request your favorable consideration of the cost items required to <br /> fund the Bargaining Units 03 and 04, 1997-1999 Collective Bargaining <br /> Agreements. <br /> While I can sincerely understand the fiscal concern of Hawaii County, <br /> permit me to offer an expressed concern of the gravity of your decision today <br /> on the issue of approving the pay raise negotiated for all non-supervisory and <br /> supervisory white collar employees in all five governmental jurisdictions of the <br /> State of Hawaii. <br /> I'm sure that you have considered the many concerns of the County of <br /> Hawaii and we certainly do not believe that your actions to be a perfunctory <br /> one. We do believe, however, that the negotiated settlement was a fair one in <br /> spite of the many fiscal constraints that we in government face today. This <br /> settlement reflects essentially what was already agreed to with the Fire <br /> Diw 582.~.`f <br /> >tec.3+M <br /> p~_ nEg 1 7 !997 <br /> <br />
