Home

Merit Appeals Board Addendum to Agenda (Item 2) CHR. CABANAS: Looking at it, there is no addendum to the agenda. Statements from the Public (Item 3) CHR. CABANAS: We have no "Statements from the Public." Approval of Minutes (Item 4) CHR. CABANAS: There are no minutes to approve. Communications (Item 5) CHR. CABANAS: No "Communications" either. New Business (Item 6) January 14, 2022 Election Of Merit Appeals Board Chair And Vice -Chair For The Calendar Year 2022 CHR. CABANAS: So we are now at Number 6 on the agenda "New Business." Before we proceed, I would just like to briefly summarize the Chair's responsibilities so we all know what's involved and I just developed something really quickly for everyone. First of all, the Chair sets the agenda for Board meetings with the secretary -reporter and our attorney from Corporation Counsel, and approves the agenda for our meetings. The Chair also drafts correspondence for the Board and oversees matters concerning the Board and discusses such matters with either Corporation Counsel or the Deputy Attorney General as appropriate. The Chair signs Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law letters, documents, et cetera, for the Board. And the Chair also facilitates Board meetings and appeal hearings. So, that's basically it in a nutshell. And then, the absence of the Chair, the Vice -Chair assumes these responsibilities as well. So, at this time, I'd like to entertain a motion for nominees to the Board Chair and Vice -Chair for the calendar year 2022. MS. MATHEWS: I move we leave the slate exactly as it is now. So, you are you, Ms. Cabanas, as Chair; and you, Mr. Ventura, as Vice -Chair. CHR. CABANAS: Is there a second? Thank you, Gay. MS. DE SOTO: Second. Page 3
