Dear Chair King and Members of the Salary Commission:
OFFICE OF THE COUNTY CLERK

Facsimile: (808) 241-6349

DEC 272016 J
I am writing to request that the Salary Commission reconsider the proposed
maximum salaries for the positions in the Legislative Branch (County Auditor,
County Clerk, and Deputy County Clerk), excluding any increases for the Kauai
County Council. I strongly feel that these positions who make up the Legislative
Branch should not have been included in the "lower tier" of department heads and
deputies and were unfairly denied the justifiable salary increase that was
recommended by the Salary Commission in February 2016.
My request for the increase in salary is based on the evaluative factors (scope
of work, retention, et cetera), utilized by the Salary Commission and knowing
first-hand the scope of work and qualifications needed to operate in these specific
positions. The duties and responsibilities of the County Clerk and Deputy County
Clerk are vastly different from those positions in other Counties. On Kaua'i, these
positions specifically operate the Office of the County Clerk and handle both Council
and Committee meetings, whereas, the other Counties utilize the Office of Council
Services (OCS) and their respective staff. OCS is responsible for all Committee
Meetings, et cetera, while the Office of the County Clerk only handles Council
Meetings etc., very different from what occurs on Kauai.
The Office of the County Clerk on Kauai is also responsible for conducting
the Primary and General Election as well as training all election staff, again a
scenario of what occurs on the neighbor islands. The position of the County Auditor
also warrants an increase as the requirements of the position have clearly shown
that the corresponding salary needs to be competitive with other experienced
Auditors.

Further, I would ask that any increase in salary for these positions be applied
retroactively to take effect as of July 1, 2016, pursuant to Salary Commission
Resolution No. 2016-2.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. Should you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me at 241-4188.
Sincerely,
