Dear Council members,

I am writing to express my stout opposition to Bill 49 (2025), which proposes to increase salaries within the Office of Council Services (OCS) by 30%. While I understand the importance of fair compensation, as a dedicated public servant myself, I am shocked and insulted by this proposed bill. It is deeply out of step with the financial reality facing our community.

Where would this ridiculous pay increase come from? Maui is still reeling from the devastating wildfires of 2023, we have a housing shortage on top of an affordability housing crisis, and inflation continues to rise as wages for civil servants fails to keep up. The message the Council is sending is that it is willing to match mainland salaries when it comes to its own offices, but could care less when addressing the chronically low pay of the County’s rank and file staff. It is a slap in the face to the public, to our Maui families who already struggle to afford rent, childcare, gas, and groceries, and to your own County employees who serve our community.

There is already a wage gap between OCS staff, who earn above-average compensation, compared to us civil servants across departments. This proposed bill would increase division and create tension between those in charge and those who do the less recognized tasks. If your goal is retention, start by supporting the entire County workforce with realistic, across-the-board measures, not by fast-tracking raises for the politically connected.

I urge this Council to reconsider this bill in its entirety. Passing Bill 49 (2025) would not only perpetuate inequity, but it would also do lasting damage to staff trust, interdepartmental unity, and the reputation of this body as responsible stewards of public resources. I was born and raised on Maui and am so proud to now serve my community as a civil servant. I know the County has a lot of ground to cover when it comes to financial equity, but this bill is an embarrassment and a poor step towards a better future for Maui.

Reject Bill 49 (2025). Do better for the people who keep our government running every day—not just the ones sitting closest to the Council Chambers.

Respectfully but firmly,
Jasmine Davis Ramirez, Ph.D., whose base salary was $52,000 last year
