Dear Chair Poindexter and Members of the County Council:
SUBJECT: Cost Items, State of Hawai`i Organization of Police Officers (SHOPO)
Bargaining Unit 12 and Employees Excluded from that Bargaining Unit
In accordance with Sections 89-11(e) and (g), HRS, attached for council action is a resolution
authorizing the appropriation in future fiscal years of funds to cover the cost items awarded by
the arbitration panel to resolve the impasse between the employers and the State of Hawaii
Organization of Police Officers (SHOPO) for Bargaining Unit 12. The award covers the period
from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2021. Cost items presented for your consideration are
across-the-board increases; step movements; one-time lump sum bonuses and an increase to the
firearm maintenance allowance for bargaining unit 12 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 employees serve as a major resource for
the County's ability to operate, their related collective bargaining unit increases also represent
one of the major contributors to the County's rising cost to operate.
As many of the cost items are retroactively effective from July 1, 2017, we ask that this
resolution be waived from the Finance Committee to the full Council meeting scheduled for
December 5, 2017.
Sine ely,
arry Kim
