and if approved it would go to council for funding approval. Payroll Department was
targeting the end of May to process retroactive pay for employees of Units 3,4,13 and 2.
Unit 14, the last outstanding labor contract, completed arbitration last month and they were
waiting to hear from the arbitrators on their final decision. Ms. Rapozo reported that today
was the first meeting with the HRMS (Human Resources Management System) project
consultants, BerryDunn. They were on island for three days of meetings to gather
information for completion of the REP (Request For Proposal).
Ms. Rapozo announced that this would be her last director's report and thanked the
commission for their time.
Chair Pro Tem Ramos recognized Ms. Rapozo for her years of service and presented her
with an orchid plant and read the letter of commendation in lieu of an annual review on
behalf of the commissioners.
Ms. Janine Rapozo left the meeting room.
With consent from the commission, Human Resources Director Annette Anderson passed
out a BerryDunn handout that outlined the projects timeline in three phases; phase 3:
request for proposals development, phase 4: system selection assistance and phase 5:
contract negotiations. Ms. Anderson said today was the first of three days of scheduled
meetings with BerryDunn consultants. Included in the meetings were Human Resources
staff, payroll staff, IT (Information Technology) staff and other departments. She said her
goal was to remain diligent on the projects timeline and that would include working closely
with IT department heads and staff. Ms. Anderson spoke with the consultants on the June
30, 2020, RFP (Request For Proposal) deadline and received confirmation that BerryDunn
was confident they could complete the RFP within the timeframe. However, they projected
the contract to be completed in the September -October 2020 timeline which was past the
commissions June 30 deadline. Ms. Anderson said she was advised that the REP would
trigger encumbrance of CIP (Capital Improvement Plan) funds. She also noted that she was
re ared to add to Be Dunn's scope of duties with additional task. Ms. Anderson said

currently HR uses a multitude of systems that do not communicate with each other and she
would ask the consultant if they could combine these systems with the new HRMS. She
wasn't sure if that could be incorporated into part of their contract, but they would ask.
Ms. Hahn pointed out that in phase 4 it noted "conduct reference checks and site visits";
Ms. Anderson could not confirm but said Maui may have the HRMS system and that may
become a visit, if necessary.
Ms. Tokioka asked that Ms. Anderson remain vigilant during budget sessions and safeguard
the CIP budget for the HRMS system. She said that was the main reason why the
commission placed the June 2020 deadline, so that it could be held and kept for the HRMS
project. Ms. Anderson acknowledged the commissions concerns and would be attentive to
the process. She briefly described her first two weeks on the job as exciting and looked
forward to working with the commission and thanked them for the opportunity.
Chair Pro Tem Ramos presented Ms. Anderson with an orchid plant on behalf of the
commission.
