A special salary commission seeks public input on proposed pay raises for state Office of Hawaiian Affairs trustees.

Currently a trustee is paid $41,000, and the chairperson is paid $47,000. On Dec. 18, the commission recommended hiking a trustee’s salary to $50,000 and the chairperson’s to $57,000.

Written comments are due to the commission by Jan. 28. They may be mailed to P.O. Box 2433, Ewa Beach 96706 or sent via e-mail to oha.salary.commission@gmail.com.

Draft recommendations also can be found on the OHA Web site at www.OHA.org.

The commission also will accept oral comments at its next scheduled meeting at 2 p.m. Jan. 29 at the Queen Lili’uokalani Children’s Center at 1300 Halona St. on Oahu.
