Honorable James Arakaki ~
Chair, Hawaii County Council ~ ~ ~
25 Aupuni Street w
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Dear Mr. Atakaki:
pnlclant to Section 3-12 of the County Charter, I am returning to you $ill 71, Draft 3,
unsigned so that it might become effective without my approval.
The Council recently approved an increase for the HGEA Bargaining Units, and raises for
police and other employees are likely in the neaz future. As the law requires that Civil
Service managers receive increases at ]east equivalent to that negotiated by the technical
and professional workers in Unit 13, the Council will soon be receiving a request to raise
those salaries, with which they will be obliged to comply.
This result is a continuing disparity between the compensation of our Department
management, and those that they are supposed to manage and for whose actions they are
responsible. You have compounded this discrepancy by sanctioning discrimination
between those who are appointed from within the bureaucracy, and those from elsewhere.
The Charter requires that the salaries of elected gfficials have a reasonable relationship to
the salaries of civil service employees. It is equally important that any responsible salary
plan consider the duties and responsibilities of the Departmental management, upon
whom we rely so much.
Honorable James Arakaki
June 14, 1999
Page 2
I recognize that these are difficult budgetary times. Nevertheless, to achieve small
savings by depriving managers of any recognition for their service, is a false economy.
- . The inevitable result will be demoralizing of those who are presently serving, and the
inability to recruit competent replacements when they leave.
