Merit Appeals Board September 19, 2018 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MALE: Wow. <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Wow. <br /> <br />MR. BRILHANTE: Yeah. She’s going to be a big loss. I don’t think we’ll be able to totally <br />replace her but I was able to get commitment from Waylen Leopoldino— <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Come back? <br /> <br />MR. BRILHANTE: Come back. <br /> <br />MALE: Wow. <br /> <br />MR. BRILHANTE: So, I spoke to him while he was in San Francisco—he came back for a <br />family trip, I met with him two or three times, while he was here—and he agreed to come back. <br />nd <br />So, effective June 2, Waylen will be our—will be taking Gabriella’s place. <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Congratulations. <br /> <br />MS. YAMADA: January. <br /> <br />MR. BRILHANTE: January. Yeah, January—yeah, January. <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Congratulations. <br /> <br />MR. BRILHANTE: Yeah. So, I got a lot of positive e-mails after making that announcement. <br />So that’ll be a good thing, I think, going forward. <br /> <br />And that’s a real important position, ‘cause as you know, that was the division that was the crux <br />of the audit. And any time you’re dealing with hiring—government hiring, county hiring— <br />there’s always some public—how am I going to say—questioning or the word I’m looking for— <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Feedback— <br /> <br />MR. BRILHANTE: Concerns regarding whether or not the process is being conducted above <br />board, fairly—and I think, the good thing about Waylen is I can—we can trust him. We can trust <br />Waylen just like I could trust Gabe. And I think, going forward, I think that’s a huge asset to <br />bring to the table. And he’s a good—I mean, he’s presented here—you guys know him and he’s <br />a good guy to have. So, we’re real fortunate that he agreed to come back. <br /> <br />MS. NAMAHOE: Full disclosure, I know Waylen very well and he never told me this. <br /> <br />MR. BRILHANTE: Oh, really? <br /> <br />Page 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
