Re: Resolution Changing Position FTE Status
The Hawaii County Police Department is requesting to change the FTE (full-time
equivalent) status of a Custodian/Groundskeeper I from a quarter-time position to
become a half-time position. This change is being requested in order to provide better
recruitment and retention potential as well as to better reflect actual current staffing
utilization and needs.
The Police Department is requesting that this resolution be waived from Finance
p q g
Committee and be placed on the December 20, 2017 Council agenda in order to expedite
this change. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Hauoli Aiona, of
the Hawai`i County Police Department at 961-2273.

A. REQUEST:
I am requesting an equivalency change to the Hamakua Custodian/Groundskeeper I quarter time position to
a half time position.
***REQUEST WAIVER FROM FINANCE COMMITTEE***
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
I am requesting to utilize the vacant North Hilo Custodian position to upgrade the Hamakua Custodian
position. Currently, both the Hamakua and North Hilo positions are at quarter time. Due to the historical
issues in filling and retaining a quarter time position, not to mention the difficulty of obtaining applicants for
this vacancy, it would be operationally beneficial to create a half time position. The current incumbent in the
Hamakua position is already, at bare minimum covering both stations with the help of sworn officials and
civilian staff.
I am compelled to mention that preliminary discussions have been underway regarding the merger of the
North Hilo and Hamakua districts. The rationale behind such changes is an overall improvement in
operational stability, supervision, effective use of resources, lowering operational cost, and improved
services to the community and public.
In taking this into consideration, it has been determined that the Custodian positions will be impacted by this
merger. As such, an organizational change will affect both quarter time positions. This being said, the North
Hilo position has remained vacant for a duration of time and it is in the best interest of the department,
operationally, to move now to change the equivalency of the position as both are overseen by the same
Captain.
