Reports
CSC 2017-09 2017 August
The Director of Human Resources Janine Rapozo updated the Commission
on contract negotiations. She said the United Public Workers (UPW) Unit 1
ratified a contract and the next steps were to ask the Legislature for funding
and receive approval from the County Council. Decisions on the arbitration
awards for the State of Hawai‘i Organization of Police Officers (SHOPO)
and Unit 14 Ocean Safety Officers are pending. All contracts expired July
1st and she is working to settle two more. The HR summer interns
completed a video project for new hires which included Department Head
interviews. She said they were editing the video and may be ready to show
at the next new hire orientation. Upon completion, a viewing of the video
will be scheduled for the Commission at a future meeting. Ms. Hahn
complimented HR for assigning the video project to the summer interns and
said it was a brilliant idea that will benefit all departments.
