Merit Appeals Board February 12, 2018 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />CHR. TULANG: We do have a “Statement from the Public”—Mr. Ono, if you’ll take the hot <br />seat at the end of the table. <br /> <br />MR. ONO: Okay. <br /> <br />Statements from the Public (Item 2) <br /> <br />MR. ONO: Ladies and Gentlemen, of the Merit and Appeals Board—I didn’t know that this was <br />the Civil Service Commission before, so I thought it was more like a building appeals board, but <br />I found out recently it’s—this is for personnel actions and such. <br /> <br />I’m here because William Brilhante is one of the candidates, as I understand, for the position of <br />permanent director. He—I’m—I also happen to be the Chair of the Salary Commission, but I’m <br />not here representing the Salary Commission. I’m doing this for myself. <br /> <br />He has been just extremely responsive, available, and furnished all the necessary information <br />that we made—we’ve needed to make our decision and, indeed, that’s been a lot of information. <br />So, with that information, the Salary Commission was able to make its decision as far as its latest <br />adjustments to the salaries of the appointed officials expediently and without delay. Otherwise, <br />we may have been going round and round in circles for quite a while. <br /> <br />I be—I really believe that he—his background as an attorney serves very, very well in the <br />matters that we cover because in addition to Amy Self, who’s assigned to us—he has a great <br />understanding of the Sunshine Law as well as working on collective bargaining matters, and to a <br />great degree—civil service type of transactions are better understood by someone who has a <br />legal background. Also, we find that the staff is very responsive in furnishing information. We <br />enjoy very much having Glynis assigned to us also. So, she’s your assigned person and ours as <br />well. And so, for that matter we can conduct meetings on a very timely basis. <br /> <br />But I’m, basically, to ask that you really consider him as the—for appointment to the permanent <br />position of the Director of the Human Resources. And with that, I just thank you so very much <br />for your time. I appreciate it. <br /> <br />CHR. TULANG: Thank you—and thank you for your time. <br /> <br />MR. ONO: Do you have any questions? <br /> <br />CHR. TULANG: Panel— <br /> <br />MR. TAM: No. <br /> <br />CHR. TULANG: Members? No? <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: No. <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
