Let the record show that we have resumed in open session at 11:09. And so, we will go to our agenda. Presentation By Department Of Human Resources Acting Director Waylen L. K Leopoldino And His Division Managers Providing An Overview Of Their Respective Divisions Within The Department Of Human Resources (Classification & Pay-Jamielyn Martinez; Recruitment & Examination -Lee Botelho; Administrative Services -Dee Ann Sadayasu; EEO/ADA-Waylen Leopoldino (position currently vacant); Health & Safety - Ryan Chong; Workers' Compensation -Sommer Tokihiro; Personnel & Organizational Development -Jennifer Sakamoto; Labor Relations -Diane Noda) CHR. CABANAS: The next item is presentation by the Department of Human Resources. Waylen, good morning, and good morning to all of the managers. Thank you for being here today. Waylen, I'd just like to start by saying on behalf of the Board, thank you for coordinating and having all of your managers here today at the Board's request. Would you like to start off with a few comments before you turn it over to your managers? (At this time, Mr. Waylen Leopoldino, Acting Director, Human Resources Department, came forward.) MR. LEOPOLDINO: Sure. Thank you, Chair Cabanas, and Members of the Merit Appeals Board. Yes, I was fortunate that all of our schedules allowed us to all be here today to do our presentation to you this morning. As I've mentioned before, I'm very fortunate to work with a group of talented individuals. I would not be successful in my position without the support of each and every one of them, and their staff. So, I'm excited for you to get a presentation of a brief overview of each of their divisions this morning. And feel free to ask us any question. We're going to—if I could, I'll just go over the agenda for presentations. We're going to start off with our Classification and Pay Division, followed by because everything starts off with the positions in our HR Department. And then, Recruitment and Examinations, Administrative Services, EEO and ADA that position is currently vacant, so I'll do a short presentation on that division. SPEAKER: (Inaudible.) MR. LEOPOLDINO: That's our Equal Employment Opportunity Division and ADA. Health and Safety, Workers Compensation, Personnel and Organizational Development, and our Labor Relations Division. So, without further ado, I will—we'll start off with Jamielyn Martinez who is our division head for our Classification and Pay. Page 6
