Merit Appeals Board <br />September 15, 2021 <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: No. So what we've done so far is we've transferred all the information <br />that DHR has collected to the county auditor, and they were going to follow-up with me as to <br />what they determine. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. Sorry, that still, kind of, bothers me. So <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: I canI'd be happy to follow-up. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Has the clerk's office or the legislative auditor—had they submitted—`cause <br />the position has to be allocated with Council approval. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Correct. <br />CHR. CABANAS: So, that hasn't occurred at all? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Not to my knowledge no. But I can follow-up and get the status on that. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. `Cause I believe that was the la that was one of the <br />recommendations in the auditor's reportjust for the benefit of our Board members— <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Mm-hmm. <br />CHR CABANAS: —and it's been a couple years already. Okay. Thank you. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: You're welcome. Any further questions on the 2016 audit report follow- <br />up? Thank you. <br />COVID-19 Update <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: We'll move on to my final item on my update is—seems to be the hot <br />topic these days CO the COVID-19 update. <br />So, for those of you who are not familiar with what's currently going on. On August 5h of this <br />year, 2021, Governor Ige issued an Emergency Proclamation with specific—with a provision <br />specifically requiring state and county employees to either be vaccinated or be subject to weekly <br />testing, effective August 16th. So, we had less that ten days to implement policies and <br />procedures to effectuate the Governor's mandate. <br />Since then, that has been our priority—it's been a priority for our department. There are a lot of <br />unknowns that our department's look to DHR for where we don't have all the answers. Very <br />limited guidance from the State. <br />Page 16 <br />
