HAWAI`I COUNTY COUNCIL HAS VOTED FOR RAISES for persons holding appointed positions in the county’s legislative branch of government. The Council approved raises of four percent, which J Yoshimoto said was tied to recent wage increases approved by Hawai`i Government Employees Association. Ka`u’s Council member Brenda Ford introduced an amendment to Yoshimoto’s resolution that would have increased the ceilings for each of the step increases for staff. “We have employees who have been here for many years who have not had a pay increase for that time,” she said. However, District 1 Council member Valerie Poindexter pointed out that such increases were above 10 percent. She and others suggested that such large increases should be taken up during budget discussions.
