Ms. Hahn reported that she attended last week's County Council meeting to show support for the Salary Commission's proposal to upgrade the salary caps for the Director of Human Civil Service Commission Open Session April 2, 2019 Page 2 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Resources (DHR) and other Department Heads. She said the DHR was in a category that the County Council would likely not approve even though the salary is well below market range. Ms. Hahn said there were some interesting discussion on the inversion salary and how a lower level position made more pay than a higher salaried position. Based on her experience, Ms. Hahn suggested they do not hire anyone until they can offer a salary worthy of the position. Chair Pro Tern Iida questioned the legality and impact it would have on the Acting Director. Deputy County Attorney Nicholas Courson said he wasn't aware of any specific rule and hiring timeline but the Commission should have a good faith effort to move the process forward and find a replacement for the benefit of the county. Acting Director of Human Resources Janine Rapozo commented that filling the position would be in the Departments best interest and she would continue as an Acting Director until the Commission found a permanent DHR. Ms. Rapozo said they would operate as best they could and work with the current resources that they have. Ms. Hahn shared that the Police took a long time to find a replacement and the Fire Commission was still going through a lengthy process. She stated the County Council needs to put the County before their own personal agenda and was hopeful that this would not diminish the Commissions duty to hire and provide support to the new DHR. Ms. Faulkner remarked that they may find an applicant who is willing to take on the position at the current salary and she advocated moving forward with the hiring process. Administrator Ellen Ching shared insight on her years of service as an Executive Director for a non-profit organization. She said the Commission should not lose hope and continue to move forward in the best way that they can because she is hopeful that the Salary Resolution will pass. Ms. Ching said the Charter mandates that the Commission appoint a DHR. Ms. Faulkner moved to proceed with the hiring process of selecting a Director of Human Resources using the Option #2 timeline.

Civil Service Commission Open Session April 2, 2019 Page 4 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION Ms. Hahn inquired if a testimony from the Chair or Vice Chair at the next County Council meeting would help.

Ms. Ching mentioned that the new County Council members and public were not aware that the Mayor controlled only 13 salaries from the list of Department heads and many of that fell under the management of the Boards and Commission volunteers who Ms. Faulkner moved to defer control the hiring, evaluation and setting salary.
