Reports
b. Annual Report to the Mayor
Ms. Rapozo said a lot of her time has been spent on Oahu with negotiations
since 8 contracts are up on June 30, 2017. Unit 11, the Hawaii Firefighters
Association, is at the arbitration stage with a mutual arbitrator having been
selected and we will proceed to arbitration at the end of November. The
employer group hired Special Counsel to represent us for that hearing. Ms.
Rapozo worked with the Police Commission subcommittee to develop a job
description for the Police Chief and we are working with the Fire Commission
now. Completing job descriptions for all appointees is one of our projects.
Ms. Rapozo pointed out that she also included the annual report from June
2015 through July 2016.

SUBJECT
DISCUSSION
ACTION
Chair Low thanked Ms. Rapozo for the report and what stood out this year that
helped the department is number one the Employee Award Program which he
is a big believer in pumping up employees and the next one — until you are
ready to retire you never think about it. The pre- retirement workup is so
important and a big tool for employees getting ready to retire out. Those are
two examples of the positive changes HR has made.
Ms. Rapozo noted she would be on vacation and not at the next meeting in
October.
