Discussion: Vice <br />Chair Toci wanted to know the status of the Salary Commission and how the Police <br />Commission was moving forward. DCC Frenz explained they currently have three <br />vacancies and until all districts are filled, she isn't comfortable scheduling meetings. <br />They are tentatively holding June 81", June 9t", and two dates in July of 2023 for <br />meetings, depending on if they have full district representation. Vice Chair Toci asked <br />how proactive the commission is. DCC Frenz stated the salary commission, by County <br />Charter, is required to confer with the appointing agencies for all directors and <br />department heads. Chair Robinson advised the commission that Hawaii County's <br />Salary Commission differs from Honolulu's. The salaries that they recommend do not <br />have to go before County Council for approval. DCC Frenz stated that is correct and <br />under the County Charter, the Salary Commission with a 2/3rd vote for any increase or <br />decrease becomes final. <br />
