Chair King stated that the Salary Comparison distributed at the beginning of
the meeting is based on initial information received 10/2012 for salaries.
Chair King inserted information disseminated through minutes for the
7/1/2014 salaries. In looking at the 10/2012 and 7/1/2014 salaries there have
been changes on the other islands. There is also a salary to employee ratio to
give some basis of where things are= as well as the operating budget of
different departments by county and a ratio. Chair King pointed out that this
was not an HR study as it does not indicate how many deputies there are for

the county attorney, corporation counsel or prosecuting attorney offices. Ms.
Nishihira noted that some of the ratios looked misleading and skews it. You
have less employees so the salaried employee ratio is going to be much
higher, but they are still doing the same work with the same responsibilities.
Chair King agreed that it does skew it in that way, but what caught his
attention more was the change on the other elements from 2012 to 2014.
Mr. Furfaro stated there were four things he was to pursue following the last
meeting. The first was to meet with Councilmember Kuali'i to get a better
understanding of what narrative he was reading from when he did the Federal
comparisons. That piece was dealing with salary bases as they relate to
Federal unemployment and not something you can compare apples to apples.
The comparison from Chair King incorporates the three items discussed
when going before the Council in terms of justification of the proposal. One
is having a better feeling of the ratings as it relates to the consumer price
index, with the only consumer price index we have since 2009 to go forward
on is the rating for the City and County of Honolulu. On the Index
distributed to the Commission,, it shows from 2009 going forward what those
indexes actually were as it relates to the City of Honolulu. We also talked in
terms of retention and there are two schools of thought. The Administration
changes with the department heads being appointed by the incoming
Administration, but that is not the case in all areas. The Police, Fire,
Planning (Liquor, Civil Service and Water) Commissions make the (hiring)
decisions for those departments, so continuity becomes very important; how
much we are investing in the people coming through the ranks and have the
familiarization with the operation of the department. That is very relevant
when looking at what the deputy police chief and deputy fire chief have
recently done in stepping back into a different position because of a
compensation challenge. Continuity is as important along those same lines
as retention. Mr. Furfaro said he started making comparisons on key
Salary Commission

ACTION
department heads such as the chief engineer for the County of Kauai Public
Works. On the Big Island there is no garbage collection so there is an extra
duty in Kaua`i's_Public Works Department. On Maui there is a comparison
that deals with environmental issues through a separate department under
public works. Mr. Furfaro noted that he was trying to get a better foundation
of comparing job scope to job position as they compare salaries.
Chair King said he had noted the timing of the Commission's submission
and they thought they were being smart a couple of years ago when they
submitted no recommendation and submitted it early. That does not fit the
Administration's budget or the Council's budget and there is a 60 -day
constraint. Mr. Furfaro pointed out that the key document that comes out in
December will be the CAFR (Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports),
which is the reconciled piece for all 13 periods for the County's operating
budget, and the audited number that would say if there is a carryover, and
how much it is. Certainly you would want to have that snapshot from the
auditor's report of what kind of cash position the County is in. The startup in
late March is when they start to review the next operating budget. The
members need to discuss the timing between January and late March when
you want to make your recommendations and be able to justify that there are
any carryover funds from the CAFR. (Staff note: Charter Section 29.03.
Resolution. The commission's salary findings shall be adopted by resolution of
the commission and forwarded to the mayor and the council on or before
March 15 of any calendar year.) Chair King asked if carryover mattered as far
as budgeting. Mr. Furfaro discussed the carryover from the last several years
and the capping of the TAT by the Legislature, further explaining they can
budget with the surplus noting there is a sitting resolution to try to build the
reserve of which that document said only 50% of the reserve could be used for
operating budgets with the other 50% left for emergency factors. Chair King
asked if the Commission's deliberations should be based on the budget or on

what is fair for the employees. Mr. Furfaro said the Commission's work has
not changed — it is about being fair, equitable and under the 3 conditions of
retention, continuity and the consumer price index. Ms. Nishihira asked for
clarification on Councilmember Kuali'i's report as it relates to unemployment
because in looking at the numbers they look plausible as far as wages. Mr.
Furfaro said looking at the report, it references the UCFE (Unemployment
Compensation factor for the Federal government) and at the same time the
Federal government has adjustments or variances that relate to what their
COLA (Cost of Living Allowance) index is, which is hard to extract from the
report. In the discussion with Councilmember Kuali'i, he was not making one
point over another., other than to say it wasn't only related to unemployment or
to consumer price indexes. Ms. Nishihira said Councilmember Kuali'i was
referring to averages., so she thought it was averages on the schedule in the
back, or he was comparing island to island which made it sound like Kauai
made more than other neighbor islands in certain sectors or positions. Mr.
Furfaro said they needed to compare the work scope and gave some equivalent
comparisons. Councilmember Kuali'i was talking in terms of average, but the
report does not extract anything for COLA or so forth, and certainly they do
not reflect to the same job scopes.
Ms. Nishihira said some places also track how long it takes to fill a position
and asked if that would be pertinent to which Mr. Furfaro said that was very
meaningful and pointed out areas where there have been improvements. Ms.
Shimamoto stated that if the Commission is to continue to do what they are
doing, and reading in the minutes that the Commission was looking at parity
and equitable pay, if they continue that after having come up with
recommendations and there is no balanced budget, the Council is never going
to approve the Resolution if the thinking is the way they were thinking at the
last Council meeting. The Council was asking to be provided with more
information and justification, and take into consideration the performance

evaluations. We have been told if we continue to do what we have been doing
and make a recommendation, it is not our kuleana whether there is money in
the budget, so that is how we proceeded. And yet when we go to Council they
say there is no money, there is no balanced budget so the Resolution was
rejected. Mr. Furfaro said you have to be careful with the fact when they say
there is no money - that could be a very correct statement, but to say they can't
balance the budget, the Charter prevents them from passing a budget that isn't
balanced. Chair King thought the problem may have come more with the
timing of the Commission's submission because it was submitted in November
and on January 7 "no" was the only action they could take. If they did not take
any action, the Resolution would go into effect, and it was too early in their
budget process to really know what they had. Mr. Furfaro added that was
because Council did not get the CAFR until the next month. Kauai County
has a 13 month year, and the year ends in June, but they have a 13"' month
where they try to reconcile everything, and that is when the auditors come
down and they work off that sheet. It takes them from there to about the
middle of December before they actually submit their audited report. If the
Resolution was sent over in November, the Council did not have that
document to look at. Chair King said while the Commission thought they were
being exceptionally prompt it did not work even though the Commission had
been berated in the past for being late. Ms. Kunioka -Volt asked if they could
have asked for it to be postponed and the Commission resubmit it to give them
time. Mr. Furfaro pointed out that since it had already been submitted, to put it
back on the agenda, the motion for a reconsideration would have to come from
someone who voted affirmatively (to reject). Chair King said last year they
thought the scale should go up and he is assuming the Commission still feels
the scale should go up; now it is deciding how much the scale should go up
and for whom. Mr. Machado asked if there wasn't also the controversy of the
tax increase base at that point when the Resolution was submitted, so there was
a lot of pressure from the public as far as any increases being presented

because of the fact they were asking for higher taxes. Mr. Furfaro also pointed
out there was also the reduction in the TAT back to the island.
Mr. Crowell thought it was probably right that the timing was off and with the
information provided by Mr. Furfaro he would like to propose the
Commissioners take it home, mull it over, and bring it back to the next
meeting. Looking at all of the comparisons, they have to take a hard look at our
Mayor's position as it relates to everything else and he believed that the City
and County of Honolulu is the only one where the fire and police chiefs do
have a salary that is higher than the Mayor. Chair King said they can come up
with a recommendation as quickly as they want, but he would propose not
submitting the Resolution until the proper moment.
Chair King asked Ms. Rapozo if she had any comments on retention, and also
thanked her for being on that personnel study. Ms. Rapozo said there are a few
department heads that are appointed by Commissions and therefore do not
necessarily come and go with the Mayor's term. Aside from fire, police,
planning, it is water and her position that are all commission appointed, as well
as liquor. Chair King recalled that water was a hard position to fill and took
some time to fill. Ms. Rapozo said the first time it was vacant for a while and
they used a head - hunting fine, so it did take longer. The next time they didn't
(use an outside firm) and they received a number of applications, from outside
as well as inside, for consideration. They did hire the person who was the
deputy at the time; he is now trying to hire a deputy and is having difficulty.
The difference with his deputy is the HRS requires a civil engineer license
versus a public works deputy that does not require that. He cannot even do a
reciprocity with an engineer license from the mainland; they need to have a
Hawaii license. Those are some things to look at with the deputies and it is
difficult because the deputy levels are lower, but at the same time the Charter
does not require deputies, and it does not have any minimum qualifications for

the deputies. Knowing the Commission only looks at the caps, and by making
it a different cap it is incumbent on the director to ensure they would
compensate accordingly. Retention is very difficult for the department heads.
With the salaries from 2009, the mayor has had difficulty in finding
replacements when they come up. Ms. Rapozo pointed out that compensation
doesn't only include salaries, so maybe the Commission can consider other
ways to compensate the department heads. She pointed out that police has the
standard of conduct, the Councilmembers and Mayor have travel, so there are
other ways to try to compensate the department heads. It may not necessarily
be all salary that attracts someone to a position. Asked if attorneys have other
compensation, Ms. Rapozo believed their bar dues are paid. Asked if
educational opportunities would get an attorney excited, Attorney Bracken said
possibly as they have to do continuing education every year and they have to
take certain classes of which there is no cost for many of the courses. Mr.
Crowell asked who sets the minimum qualifications for the appointed
positions. Ms. Rapozo said the Charter has minimum qualifications for
department heads; deputies are not chartered so there are no qualifications
basically except for the Water Department which is by Hawaii Revised
Statutes. Deputies for attorneys have to be licensed (in the State).
Chair King asked about the tiered rates to which it was agreed there are now
three tiers with the fire and police being at a higher rate. Ms. Rapozo said it
has come up before on looking at positions that require certain licenses and
whether or not that should be compensated a little more because of the higher
qualifications. Asked whether the neighbor island salaries were at the
maximum of what their Salary Commission had set since there seems to be lot
of variance, Ms. Rapozo said Maui is not necessarily at the max, but she did
not know for sure. Mr. Furfaro said he would follow up on the question.
Ms. Shimamoto thought a good suggestion might be a one -time package like

continuing education if it is paid by the employee, and suggested asking the
department heads what might be something they could use to attract applicants.
Chair King said that gets to be a slippery slope because it can go a lot of
different ways when one person is getting one thing and another is getting
another type of thing. Mr. Furfaro reminded the Commission that is why it is
important to compare the job scope and not the salary. Ms. Kunioka -Volz
asked if the police and fire departments were looking at doing away with the
deputy positions. Ms. Rapozo responded that the police department
reallocated their deputy position to another assistant chief so they now have a
fourth one who is quasi serving as a deputy. The reason for this is one of their
assistant chiefs has been out long term so in essence they still only have three
assistant chiefs. That was part of the problem as well as with the deputy's
salary. With fire, because of budget constraints they dollar funded the deputy
position so it is in the budget, but it is not fiuzded. Part of the reason for the
chief doing that was because he did not feel he would be able to attract anyone
to that salary level because the battalion chiefs are currently making more than
the deputy's maximum salary. Mr. Furfaro said he is doing a comparison on
the staffing and not the money, which is Janine's area, but we have a grid for
the police department about the number of badged officers compared with
other areas in the country, and he will have that report for next month along
with fire.
Attorney Bracken said the previous month there was a discussion of possibly
removing the police and fire chiefs from the Salary Commission's scope in an
effort to raise their pay and under Hawaii Revised Statutes and the
Constitution those positions the salary has to be set by the Council. You could
make a recommendation to the Charter Commission to remove those from
your authority, but it would be against State law and could create legal
problems. Asked about the possibility of having a working group to put
together some suggestions, Staff explained the Sunshine Law which governs a

PIG (Permitted Interaction Group).
Ms. Shimamoto asked about the pay for grade for officers, which was
mentioned in a previous meeting, to which Mr. Furfaro said he had not
thoroughly digested that but would have it for the next month although those
gross earnings for 2011 are part of the meeting packet. Ms. Shimamoto
indicated she would like to see the base pay also. Ms. Rapozo stated that
sometimes the officers at the lowest level bring in the most overtime so if they
are just looking at base then it would be the assistant chiefs at the highest level
of base pay. The fire department has a rank- for -rank, so you have to find a
classification to replace someone. Ms. Kunioka-Volz said if they get the base
pay, it will give a better idea of what the comparison is and how much of it is
overtime. Asked if they wanted the actual base pay or from the contract where
they have the whole salary scale. Ms. Kunioka -Volz said the whole salary
scale to include their uniform to which Ms. Rapozo said that would still be
base, and they have standard of conduct, gun and uniform. Mr. Furfaro said
Ms. Rapozo would get that for the Commission as he did not want to confuse it
with what was in the report that was based on who was earning what kind of
overtime.
Ms. Rapozo wanted to clarify that the request includes the differential they
would get but not overtime. Asked if they want it per officer or the salary scale
from the 1 s' year up to 25 years because they have steps they move. It was
agreed that it would be the salary scale and then the standard of conduct and
the gun and unifonn would be added to the base. The request was amended to
include the fire department as well.
On the CPI, Ms. Nishihira asked if the cumulative CPI had been calculated
since 2009 to which Mr. Furfaro said he did it out of curiosity, but focused on
the last 2 years which is 1.8 and 1.7. Ms. Nishihira said she asked because

some of the positions in which raises were proposed had not received a raise
since 2008. Ms. Kunioka -Volz said Councilmember Kuali'i had asked if, and
was almost suggesting we do another study, but in previous meetings we had
discussed that the figures would only get worse because they would be higher
than the recommendations the Salary Commission was submitting. Would it
help to do another outside study? Chair King said he works with consultants
all the time and they are not cheap. We have talked about using other forms of
compensation and there are not a lot of other forms of compensation that can
be used. Chair King said they can see where it is deficient and thought a study
would only confirm what the Commission thinks. Ms. Kunioka -Volz asked if
it would make a better presentation to the Council to which Chair King agreed
it would make a better presentation but was it necessary. It was asked if it
could be found out if any of the other counties had a more recent study. Chair
King said when he asked the consultants he deals with about their government
work it is all in Washington, D.C. and they do not do much on the local level.
Ms. Nishihira thought a lot of it was the CPI and for her that was minimum.
Calculating from 2008/2009 it is almost 12% and the private sector looks at the
Federal CPI in their salaries. The Hawaii Employers Council does not have
anything on government, in addition to being very expensive to be a member.
Ms. Nishihira did not know if they could quantify the cost of lack of continuity
in retention in terms of lawsuits or other damages to the County as a cost.
Attorney Bracken said that would be difficult to quantify and difficult to track
down what percentage of the lawsuits are based on employment related loss of
management. With most lawsuits, there are multiple factors involved and not
just one poor decision and might not all be related to some lack of training.
Chair King thought the Commission's justification should be more on the CPI
parity. Attorney Bracken said he would look at their current caseload to see if
they are employment related. Attorney Bracken said if they are looking at
additional benefits. they could look at paying medical costs which would not
be raising salaries, but would be covering out of pocket expenses. Ms. Ra ozo

said that is an option that some department heads have suggested as their share
has been steadily going up. Benefits are part of compensation and something
that can be looked at and made more palatable because you are not showing an
increase in salary when it goes across the street. Chair King asked if that
would even have to go to Council to which Ms. Rapozo said it is part of
compensation, so it would be part of the Resolution like with the standard of
conduct. Some of the Commissioners questioned how the public would
perceive that to which Mr. Furfaro said even the bargaining units consider it.
