Ms. Kaui Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 2 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION seconded the motion. Motion carried 5:0 Mr. Machado moved to nominate Mr. Charles King to the position of Vice - Chair. Ms. Kaui seconded the motion. Motion carried 5:0 Public Vice -Chair King acknowledged Ms. Perry's request to have Chair Ernest Testimony Kanekoa sit with her during her testimony pertaining to items SC 2011 -13 and SC 2011 -14. Ms. Perry stated that she is the wife of Chief of Police Darryl Perry and that is here to provide testimony in support of a salary increase for the Chief of Police and Deputy Chief of Police. She explained that the present salaries are well below the market and regional rates for similar positions and far less than their highest -paid subordinates. The Chief of Police and Deputy Chief of Police salaries continue to see a salary inversion and were subjected to a salary freeze when all other police officers positions did not experience a salary reduction or furlough. Ms. Perry also indicated that the Chief of Police position has been annually evaluated and has demonstrated successful performance and rated overall "exceed expectations" in the evaluation periods since his appointment on October 1, 2007. Additionally, the Chief of Police evaluates the Deputy Chief with the same instrument and process. Ms. Perry noted that the Salary Commission is the body that can delegate with the legal authority to establish the salaries of all council members and all officers and employees included in Section 3 -2.1 of the Kaua'i County Code 1987. Ms. Perry stated that one the reasons for the aggressive proposal are unlike the some of the other collective bargaining agreements who have already negotiated their pay, the police officers have not. Ms. Perry asked the Salary Commission to consider her recommendations for the pay increase as indicated in her written testimony. Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 3 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Vice -Chair King asked whether the annual pay for the outer island Police Chiefs included the uniform and gun allowance. Ms. Perry stated that the only Chief she knows who receives the uniform and gun allowance is the Big Island Chief of Police. Mr. Finlay stated that he has the greatest respect for the men and women of the Kaua'i Police Department. Mr. Finlay asked the total amount of employees and uniformed officers employed by the Kaua'i Police Department, as well as the outer islands. Mr. Finlay stated that he is trying to get a bearing on whether the number of employees has an impact on the salary of the Kaua'i Chief of Police, as opposed to the Honolulu Police Chief. Mr. Kanekoa stated that Maui and the Big Island Police Departments have a total of 300 civilian employees and uniformed officers. The Honolulu Police Department has 1700, and Kaua'i has 185 civilian employees and uniformed officers employed in the Police Department. Mr. Finlay asked what the base salaries are, excluding benefits and overtime, because studies show that there was no salary inversion in the Police Department. Based on the gross salaries, Mr. Finlay asked for clarification on whether there truly was a salary inversion if there wasn't overtime included. Ms. Perry stated that she did not do an analysis. However, the annual base salary for a new police officer runs from $40,000 to $50,000 and subsequently as years of service are applied and through the collective bargaining pay raises it would bring up the base salary. Ms. Perry pointed out that the position of the Chief of Police and Deputy Chief of Police are exempt with no opportunity to receive overtime. She included that Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 4 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION although the base salary for a police officer is lower than the Chief's, one must recognize that the compensation of an officer is going to be skewed by the earned overtime which is a recognized compensation piece for retirement purposes. Normally you would not see an inversion if you are basing it on the base salary but at the end of the day, there truly is a salary inversion because with the first study that was done they may have looked at the base piece and that is why it did not demonstrate that there was a salary inversion with the officers at that time. Vice -Chair King noted that Appendix B of the 2007 -2008 Kaua'i County Salary Commission Report does indicate that there was a pretty significant inversion of 31 %. The salary of the Chief of Police back then was $75,000 and the highest subordinate salary was $98,000 with a $23,000 difference. Even with the 25% increase that was recommended in the past, there still was an inversion even after that. Ms. Perry suggested that the Salary Commission hire third party consultants to come in and review the salaries. Because the previous consultants who did the first study probably looked at the data and found that there was an inversion based on the base salaries. Ms. Kunioka -Volz noted that was the reason for the salary increase in 2007, which was to get rid of the inversion. Mr. Finlay stated that currently there is no salary inversion on base salaries. Chair King stated that he can't really say but he didn't think so. Mr. Kanekoa informed the Commission that back in 2007 the Police Commission at that time had concerns about the salary inversion that was occurring. Mr. Kanekoa added that in August 2009 there was a communication from the Salary Commission to the Police Commission requesting their opinion regarding the Mayor's request to defer the Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 5 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Administrative salaries increase slated to take effect on December 1, 2009. Mr. Kanekoa indicated that in 2009 the Police Commission voted to support the Mayor's request, but had various concerns and asked that the Salary Commission take into consideration that prior to the start of the next fiscal year the Police Commission would like the opportunity to submit its own recommendations regarding the Chief of Police salary. However, that opportunity disappeared when the Salary Commission was informed by the Mayor via a letter to freeze the salary increases for all County employees for fiscal year 2012. Mr. Finlay pointed out that to take the gross salaries with the overtime and compare them with the base salary of the Police Chief even if though he is not allowed overtime puts a pretty complex burden upon the Salary Commission to anticipate overtime and avoid a salary inversion. Mr. Finlay voiced his concern that it was not fair to compare base salaries with the Police Chief with the base salary plus overtime that comes with the subordinates. Mr. Finlay felt that the excessive amount of overtime could be handled with better management of the resources. Mr. Finlay stated that no one can anticipate overtime and doesn't feel that the justification to use the overtime on top of the base salaries and calling it a salary inversion is a proper argument for an increase for the Police Chief. Ms. Perry stated that by looking at the salary piece, Mr. Finlay was correct that there is no anticipation of what could be earned on overtime and that is why the data point is on what has been earned for 2011. Ms. Kunioka -Volz felt that the compensation is based on funds allowed and in any case as explained by Mr. Finlay there is no control from the Salary Commission on the amount overtime. Ms. Kunioka -Volz noted that even the hospitals must have inversions where the nurses are probably Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 6 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION making more than the doctors. Ms. Perry informed the Commission that does not happen because she keeps a close eye on it and for the doctors she refers to the fair market values criteria. By her specialty, it is required that in order for her to pass an employment agreement through their legal counsel, she must have an analysis from a third -party that they are meeting their particular specialties. Ms. Perry indicated that she has a nurse executive who also serves as her administrator and that she has to closely watch the overtime for her nurses because she cannot have a situation where her nurses through overtime are similarly earning more than her executive nurse. Ms. Perry stated that she runs a twenty -four hour, seven days a week operation and it bothers her when she sees excessive overtime. Mr. Perry added that overtime is controllable by proper scheduling in accordance with the collective bargaining agreements. Ms. Kunioka -Volz questioned whether she knew why the police department has so much overtime and that may be the solution; to have better management practices in the Police Department. Mr. Kanekoa agreed that there is a shortage of personnel in the Police Department and that the recruitment process is on- going. However, he felt that even without the overtime there still would have salary inversions Mr. Finlay felt that the department should be more concern with the department's overtime than the salary inversion. Mr. Finlay felt that the current salaries are good salaries and if the department cannot get people with these salary rates and there is a different problem besides the rate of pay that is stopping people from working in the police department. Mr. Iona explained that as a former SHOPO police union representative, Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 7 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION they negotiated the contract for the bargaining unit employees by looking at the salaries of the top level positions. The union knew that they could not ask for salaries that would supersede the salaries of the top level positions and by working with those numbers, the union could factor in the percentages and the cost of living. Mr. Iona humbly asked that the Salary Commission consider a pay increase for the Chief of Police and Deputy Chief of Police as proposed by Ms. Perry. Mr. Iona corrected himself and indicated that the correct number of employees and uniformed officers for the Maui County was 500. Mr. Machado asked whether the pension for the police department is based on the base salary and whether it has an effect on the salary and how it is paid out. Ms. Kunioka -Volz stated that the pension is currently based on the gross pay. Because there has been so much underfunded liability or unfunded liability with the retirement systems, the State is looking at the anti - spiking for this year because the State is finding a lot that the overtime is coming at the end of the career to increase the retirement. The State is currently using the gross salary but is looking at maybe changing it. Mr. Machado asked if it's 5% percent of the gross. Ms. Kunioka -Volz stated that it depends, for police and fire it's at 2.5 % with an 80% cap. Ms. Kaui asked whether the assistant chiefs and captains are part of the collective bargaining unit or is it just the lieutenant and sergeant positions. Ms. Perry indicated that the positions of the assistant chief and captain are excluded from collective bargaining, but the tie in for them is the 89C, which is the statutory language that provides no less than the collective Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 8 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION bargaining. Ms. Kunioka -Volz asked whether the Chief's annual salary of $107,335 reflects the gun and uniform allowance. Ms. Perry replied no, but his annual gross salary would amount to about $109, 000. Vice -Chair King questioned whether the Police Commission considers a lower salary then the maximum set by the Salary Commission and as the appointing authority for the Police Chief, does the Police Commission set the Chief's salary by operating under the Salary Commission guidelines. Mr. Iona explained that the Police Commission does the hiring and firing of the Police Chief. The Salary Commission sets his salary. For example, if the Salary Commission sets a maximum of $115,000 the Police Commission would not deviate from that amount. Mr. Finlay indicated that although he would like to see both the Fire and Police Department get a pay increase, the Salary Commission has to keep in mind that the taxpayers, as well as the County revenues, are taking a hit due to the current economic situation. The task of trying to balance everything puts a strain on the Salary Commission. He added that by giving the Chief of Police a raise it would send a clear message to the bargaining units to push for more money. Mr. Iona stated that he understood Mr. Finlay's concerns; however, he felt that in order to attract qualified individuals for high level positions, one must take the chance and try to balance the need and at the same time be fiscally conservative. Mr. Iona feared that by not approving the pay increase for the Chief of Police and Deputy Chief of Police it would difficult to attract highly Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 9 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION qualified individuals and retain them. Mr. Iona stated that you must compensate the individual accordingly because it would be hard to ask a person to take a pay cut just to be Chief. Mr. Iona stated that there have been cases where an individual accepted a high level position and within a few months decided to return to his old position. Ms. Kaui asked for clarification of the salary increase proposal for a 7 1/2 month period at 22% increase for the Chief of Police and Deputy Chief of Police. Vice -Chair King questioned the cost of hiring an out of state agency to assist with its market studies. Ms. Perry refrained from revealing the cost but indicated that HHSC utilized the services of Stroudwater Consultants to assist them with its market studies. Ms. Perry added that prior to being employed at HHSC,Stroudwater Consultants were hired to do a statewide Excluded Exempt analysis and comparative nationwide analysis which they presented to HHSC with recommendations for the exempt excluded positions similar to the Chief of Police. Ms. Perry encouraged the Salary Commission to hire a consulting firm to assist them in gathering information that would help them determine a foundation for arriving at a salary grade for benchmark jobs. Chair Kanekoa stated that the Police Commission supports a salary increase for the Chief of Police and Deputy Chief of Police as recommended by Ms. Perry. For clarification, Fire Chief Robert Westerman indicated that the hours that the police and fire personnel keep are not nine to five because when a call comes in during the weekend and you have to call on a ranking person to handle the situation that is when the overtime kicks in. In addition, Chief Westerman clarified that it was the Big Island Fire Chief who recently Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 10 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION received a salary increase and not the Maui Fire Chief. Chief Westerman explained that when the Big Island Fire Chief retired in October and with the hiring of a new Fire Chief, the Fire Commission decided to give the new Fire Chief the minimum range for salary. That meant the new Fire Chief took a fifteen thousand dollar pay cut, which he did not realize, because he assumed that he would receive the salary range set by the charter. However, six months into the job the Salary Commission reviewed his work performance and decided to bump up his salary to the maximum salary range. Chief Westerman stated that when he became the Fire Chief, the first thought that came to mind was who is going to replace him after he retires from the County. He stated that in order to keep it local the County must have an incentive program and a good succession plan because in reality the salary is the basis for retaining the right individual. At 10:15 a.m. Vice -Chair King called for a 15 minute recess. Meeting reconvened at 10:35 a.m. Business SC 2011 -12 Discussion and possible decision - making on whether the County Council, as the appointing authority should be the body to evaluate the performance of the County Auditor as provided for in Section 32.02D of the Charter. (Deferred on 12/02/11) Vice -Chair King explained that at the last Salary Commission meeting, the Commission reviewed and discussed the communication from Council Vice -Chair JoAnn Yukimura in which she pointed out that there is a discre a cy between the appointing authority of the County Auditor and Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 11 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION the authority that sets the County Auditor's salary suggesting that this "disconnect" may have been intentional, arising out of a need to protect the County Auditor against political pressure. Mr. Finlay expressed his concern that the Salary Commission is finding the same issue with the Police Department, whereas the Salary Commission sets the maximum salary of the Police Chief assuming that the Police Commission is going to work within the salary range to evaluate and promote. What Council Vice -Chair Yukimura is recommending is that the Salary Commission recommends a change to the Charter to make the County Council the body that sets the salary of the County Auditor. Ms. Clark stated that Section 29.03 of the County Charter states that the respective appointing authority may set the salary of an appointee at a figure lower than the figure established by ordinance for that position. Vice -Chair King stated that the Salary Commission should point out to the respective Commissions that they do not have to pay up to the maximum and that this is the new maximum that has been set by the Salary Commission. Ms. Morikami indicated that Article I. (c) of Resolution 2011 -1 clarifies that the Administrative office and employee salaries shall not exceed the maximum salary provided for in this article at the time of employment. However, the respective appointing authority may set the salary of any new or existing non - elected appointee at a figure lower than the figure established for the position. Ms. Kunioka -Volz stated that the Commission should not take any action on this matter because under the charter, it states that the Salary Commission shall fix the salary of the County Auditor and the appointing Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 12 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION authority is the County Council. Therefore, as the appointing authority they should be the body to evaluate the County Auditor. The Commission agreed that no action would be taken on this matter. SC 2011 -13 Discussion and decision-making on n the possible hiring of a consultant to conduct a review of salaries including, but not limited to fringe benefits of council members and all officers and employees included in Section 3 -2.1 of the Kaua'i Coun _ Code. Ms. Kaui stated that in 2007 the DPS (Department of Personnel Services) spearheaded the Nash Study and felt that they would be the experts in setting parameters to do another study. However, she felt that the new study would not be available in time for the March 15 deadline. Mr. Finlay felt that it would be encouraging for the employees to know that a study is being conducted and that the following year there may be raises with science applied to it. Vice -Chair King requested that Staff contact DPS to get an estimate on the cost of doing another study and to contact the other counties to find out what their process is. Ms. Kunioka -Volz also suggested inviting the other counties to participate in a joint study that would assist the Commissions in determining salary guidelines for non - bargaining employees specifically, the Mayor and the Department Heads and Deputies. She stated that maybe the Personnel Director would be the appropriate individual to approach the other counties. Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 13 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Mr. Finlay agreed that by sharing the cost to do the study it would benefit all counties. He asked staff to contact the other counties to ask if they would be interested in doing a joint study. Mr. Finlay stated that the Salary Commission should submit a resolution to Council by the March 15 date. Vice -Chair King stated that the resolution that was submitted in August 2009 deferred the raises until July 1, 2013. He asked whether the Commission would want to go back on what was previously submitted. Mr. Finlay stated no; however, if the Salary Commission were to reintroduce the August resolution it would take the tainting of the illegal time completely out. Ms. Kaui asked whether there would be any legal ramifications by doing that. Ms. Clark stated that it would not be a problem for the Salary Commission to reintroduce the resolution. Ms. Clark suggested that the Commission might want to clarify the Prosecutor's concerns that related to the frozen salaries and whether the Salary Commission meant it as a salary cap or the actual salaries and that the Prosecutor could not give any increases to members of her staff even up to the caps that were set. Ms. Clark noted that although the context in the resolution was clear that the Salary Commission was talking about salary caps, the wording is not exact and could be tweaked. Ms. Kaui requested for Staff to get information on the total number of employe s and uniformed officers, vacancies, including a list of base Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 14 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION salaries excluding the overtime for each of the assistant chiefs, captains, lieutenants, sergeants, detectives and officers from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011. Ms. Kunioka -Volz stated that it would helpful to get the Comparison of County Department Data and Resident Population Report for the current fiscal year, as well as information on the uniform and gun allowance for the Chief of Police. Vice -Chair King suggested that the Commission go into Executive Session to have Ms. Clark brief the Commission in the complaint that was filed in Fifth Circuit Court. At 11:00 a.m. Ms. Clark cited the Hawai'i Revised Statues to take the meeting into Executive Session on matters pursuant to Section §92 -4, §92- 5 (a) (2) (4) and §92 -9 (a). The purpose of this Executive Session is to approve Executive Session meeting minutes. The further purpose is to consult with its attorney on questions and issues pertaining to the Commission's and the County's powers, duties, privileges, immunities and liabilities as they may relate to these items, and to make a decision the Commission deems appropriate. ES: 2012 -01 Executive Session Minutes of December 2, 2011. ES -1 Briefing from the County Attorney's Office on the complaint filed in Fifth Circuit Court by Councilmembers Mel Rapozo and Kipukai Kuali'i naming the County of Kaua'i and several members of the County Council and the Salary Commission as defendants which seeks a declaratory judgment concerning the interpretation of Section 29.03 of the Charter, specifically, that the word "shall" contained in Section 29.03 of the Charter is mandatory rather than directory and that Resolution 2011 -1 Mr. Machado moved to enter into Executive Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 15 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION is void as it was submitted after March 15, 2011. Session. Ms. Kaui seconded the motion. Motion carried 5:0 Vice -Chair King called for the motion to enter into Executive Session Return in Open At 11:05 a.m. the Commission reconvened in Session Open Session. SC 2011 -14 Discussion and possible decision - making on establishing salaries for the fiscal year 2012/2013 for council members and all officers and employees included in Section 3 -2.1 of the Kaua'i County Code. (Deferred on 12/02/11) Vice -Chair King noted that Commission could either reintroduce the same resolution or introduce a motion to increase the salary for the Chief of Police and Deputy Chief of Police. Vice -Chair King stated that according to Resolution 2011 -1 the next pay increase for the Chief is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2013 which would increase his salary to $114,848 which is a 7% increase. Mr. Finlay indicated that he would support a new resolution only if it is similar to Resolution 2011 -1. Mr. Finlay hesitated to respond to the request for a salary increase for the Chief of Police and Deputy Chief of Police stating that if the request is granted there will be more to follow. Mr. Finlay stated that he would rather postpone the salary increase until the new study is completed and that all of the information has been considered. Mr. Machado agreed with Mr. Finlay's suggestion, but felt that there was a definite salary inversion with the the Deputy Chief of Police position. Ms. Kunioka -Volz stated that she doesn't think that the Deputy took a wage decrease; he took an income decrease because his base salary was still Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 16 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION higher. Ms. Kaui indicated that she would like to review all of the information before making any decisions regarding the Chief's salary just in case the Commission needs to justify its decision. Vice -Chair King requested information relating to the previous year Comparison of County Department Data and Resident Population Report for FY 2009 -10. Mr. Finlay voiced his concern that there might be some interdepartmental issues in the Police Department that may be contributing to the department's overtime problem. Mr. Finlay felt that the Police Commission is trying to solve the overtime problem by giving the Chief a raise. Ms. Kunioka -Volz noted that the Police Department has their own recruitment process which may be part of the problem because the recruitment process is so cumbersome. Vice -Chair King called for the motion to have Staff request for the following information from the Department of Personnel Services in regards to the Police Department. 1. Base Salary Rates from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011 2. Comparison of County Department Data and Resident Population for Fiscal Year 2009 -10. 3. Total number of employees and vacancies in the Police Department as of January 1, 2012 4. The Cost of the 2007/2008 Nash Study and the approximate cost of another study similar in scope to the Nash Study Ms. Kaui moved and Ms. Kunioka -Volz seconded Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 17 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION the motion. Motion carried 5:0 Mr. Finlay suggested that the Commission amend Resolution 2011 -1 by cleaning up some of the language to make it clearer as to the Council's concerns about the maximum salary cap. And if the Commission decided to do something about the Police Chief and Deputy Police Chief salary it could be done then. The Commission agreed. Ms. Morikami pointed out that Council had concerns related to the Mayor's salary on whether he has the authority to reduce his own salary. Ms. Morikami further explained that the way the Council perceived it was that the Mayor accepts the salary and then writes a check to the County for the amount of the increase. Vice -Chair King stated that since the Salary Commission would not be giving the Mayor an increase it shouldn't matter. Vice -Chair King called for the motion that Ms. Clark draft Resolution Mr. Finlay moved that Deputy County Attorney 2012 -1. Clark draft Resolution 2012 -1 that restates the Commission's convictions as stated in Resolution 2011 -1 with the appropriate language that may placate some of the concerns from the previous Resolution 2011 -1. Ms. Kaui seconded the motion. Motion 5:0 Ms. Clark acknowledged the Commission's request and that she would have the draft ready by the next Salary Commission meeting. Ms. Kaui suggested that Staff write to the Salary Commissions from the other counties to request the following information: Salary Commission Open Session February 12012 Page 18 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION 1. How do they determine the salaries of their non - bargaining employees, specifically, the Mayor, Department Heads and Deputies? 2. How do they determine the salary ranges for each position or do they determine the salary caps 3. Has their Personnel Department or Commission hired a consultant to help determine the salaries? 4. Would they be interested in participating with other county salary commissions and share the cost of having a joint study in determining salary guidelines Mr. Finlay moved to have Staff request for the Vice -Chair King called for the motion. information as indicated by Ms. Kaui. Ms. Kunioka -Volz seconded the motion. Motion carried 5:0 With no further discussion, Vice -Chair King suggested that the Commission defer this matter for continued discussion and deliberation pending receipt of the information.
