Dear Council Chairperson Arakaki:
I understand that the matter of funding the cost items negotiated for Bargaining Units 03,
04, 63, and 84 (Comm. No. 582, Resolution No. 185-97) will be considered by the County
Council at its meeting of December 17, 1997 and I request an accommodation.
The funding issue is of utmost important to our members therefore 1 request this item be
placed on top of your meeting agenda. Union members have expressed their desire to attend your
meeting. By placing this matter first on your agenda, our members may make arrangements to
schedule a leave of absence from their worksite, attend your meeting, and return to work upon
completion of business on the funding issue. I know that you nor I can predict the length of time
that will be devoted to this matter, however first consideration will certainly assist their leave
planning and hopefully speedy return to work.
Your favorable consideration is appreciated. Please let me know your decision so I may
pass the word along to our members.
Please call me at 935-6841 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
`~r~~
