COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
Date: August 26 , 1986 Re: `Comm. 726
Place: Councilroom
Time: 9: 00 a.m.

Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution 198-86,
reports as follows :
The purpose of Resolution 198-86 is to amend the Salary Ordinance as
follows :
Section 8.08(d ) . AUTOMOTIVE DIVISION. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
1 . Reallocate one position of Field Lubrication Worker WB-6
to Automotive Mechanic Helper WB-5 .
2. Add one position of Welder WB-10 (Temporary as needed ) .
Section 8.08(f-1 ) . SOUTH HILO, HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE DIVISION.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
1 . Transfer from Section 8.08(f-2 ), Hamakua and North Hilo,
Highway Maintenance Division, one position of Laborer II
WB-3 and reallocate to Assistant Clerk SR-4.
The reclassification of the Field Lubrication Worker WB-6 to
Automotive Mechanic Helper WB-5 was justified on the basis that the
type of work performed should be performed at a lower level . By
reclassifying the position to a WB-5, the employee may continue the
normal fuel pumping for part of the day and provide support as a
mechanic helper for the remaining time.
The addition of a temporary as needed Welder WB-10 to the Automotive
Division was justified on the basis that the division recently
acquired the responsibility to maintain and repair all solid waste
equipment. Currently, there is one welder in this division that is
already backed up with work . The additional position would prevent
the closing of waste transfer stations for lack of safe operable
trailers .

The amendment with regard to Section 8.08( f-1 ), South Hilo Highway
Maintenance Division, is being sought to correct an inconsistency
which has occurred due to a Laborer II doing clerical work . The
employee has been given light duty responsibilities because of a back
condition.
During committee discussion, the Deputy Chief Engineer of Public
Works explained that the heavy welding workload has necessitated the
need to contract work out. The Deputy feels that the contracted work
will not be affected with the new position because of the amount of
work required to repair the County's trailer fleet. When questioned
why all the work isn 't being contracted out, the Deputy cited the
department 's need to have an employee at their disposal to simplify
identification of the work task and to expedite repairs .
Pursuant to Section 3-14, Hawaii County Charter, interim amendments
to the Pay Plan may be made by resolution.
Your Committee on Finance concurs with the intent of
Resolution 198-86 and recommends its adoption.
