Dear Chairwoman Poindexter and Members of the County Council: m r-
SUBJECT: Cost Items, United Public Workers
Bargaining Unit 01 and Employees Excluded from BUO1
In accordance with Section 89-10(b), HRS, attached for Council action is a resolution
authorizing the appropriation in future fiscal years of funds to cover the cost items agreed to
between the employers and the United Public Workers (UPW) for Bargaining Unit 1 and
employees excluded from Bargaining Unit 1. The agreement covers the period from July 1,
2017 through June 30, 2021. Cost items presented for your consideration are across-the-board
increases and one-time bonuses for bargaining unit 01 and employees excluded from that
bargaining unit.
Attached as an exhibit to the resolution is a schedule showing the total cost of these various
adjustments over the four years of the contract. As our costs to operate the County continue to
rise, we have to control all of our costs, including collective bargaining unit agreements. We do
understand that these are some of our lower paid employees and some are included in our at risk
population.
•
Due to the statewide implications of this matter and the lead time needed to implement these
changes, we ask that this resolution be waived from the Finance Committee to the full Council
meeting scheduled for September 20, 2017.
Sincere, ,
cd Harry Kim
Mayor
Calm.
