Merit Appeals Board March 29, 2018 <br />MR. BRILHANTE: There's— <br />MR. MASUDA: One retired. <br />MS. NAMAHOE: One retired. <br />MR. BRILHANTE: Well, there's 14 plaintiffs and all but three of them are retired -3 of the 14. <br />So, three are current. <br />CHR. TULANG: Yeah, (inaudible) guys. <br />MR. BRILHANTE: For Recruitment—we're currently in the process of amending the HR <br />Director's Rules to reflect the new registration recruitment procedures. So, part of the audit <br />referenced—made reference to the fact that when it comes to registration recruitments, that the <br />County conducts—and registration recruitments are special recruitments where there's no <br />minimum qualifications for the applicant. So, it's an entry-level position, like, maybe a Park <br />Caretaker or a Public Works Labor Ior something to that effect where all you really have to do <br />is have a driver's license and an address. And then, you're eligible to be, I guess, vetted. <br />So, what happened was the audit identified two problems with that process. One was that those <br />positions were put on continuous recruitment. So, since the recruitment was open at any time, <br />any individual could be—could come in and say, "Oh, I need a job"—and they could be <br />instructed to apply. And then, they could be pulled off that list, `cause it's just a registration list, <br />right. So, once you have a license and you register, you're eligible. <br />So, I think there was some concern that maybe there was some quid pro quo there—some <br />political influence associated with that. And so, that was a problem. <br />And the second problem was that the lists were so large, some of the lists were over 1,000 <br />candidates. So, that just that, in and of itself, because it's continuous—any day, anybody could <br />come in and apply and they get added to the list. So, as people were terming out—their 12 <br />months were terming out just as many people were coming on board. So, you had this <br />continuous, 1,000 -name application pool. <br />So, what we did was, we immediately, upon the issuance of the audit, we suspended the open <br />recruitment for those positions. So, we terminated—so we no longer had open recruitment. We <br />closed the recruitment for those positions and we just for maintaining whatever current list we <br />had. <br />MS. NAMAHOE: So, you're going to close out the list by attrition? <br />MR. BRILHANTE: Well, the list expired at the end of the year. <br />Page 12 <br />
