Merit Appeals Board April 24, 2019 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />And in that request they submitted, they made that request for each of the commissions to <br />provide information for the Salary Commission to consider as they review and come up with a <br />plan regarding the current or their respective department head and deputy salary. <br /> <br /> So, that’s the request that was made to you, the Merit Appeals Board, was to provide <br />information—come and provide information to the Salary Commission regarding my—and, well, <br />my vacant deputy position salary. So, that’s where they’re at. That’s the basis of this. And <br />because—J can explain to you the rules of the Board as to why it’s a formal agendized item. <br /> <br />CHR.

NAMAHOE: So, then, this is something that should be taken into executive session <br />because, really, any discussion might start covering legal territory. <br /> <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Possibly, depending on the question that you ask. We could start there and <br />then see where we go. <br /> <br />CHR. NAMAHOE: And then, afterwards, (inaudible). <br /> <br />Page 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
