Merit Appeals Board <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Sure. <br />March 10, 2022 <br />CHR. CABANAS: And if you're not here, then I know you don't have a deputy, yet right? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: No. <br />CHR. CABANAS: So, if you don't—in the absence of a deputy—if you have a deputy then that <br />person could come in your absence in you're away at negotiations. But in the absence of a <br />deputy and in your absence, if you're away, could you send one of the managers to give your <br />director's report? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. That way, we keep engaged with you. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Sure. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Because the Board, actually, as the appointing authority of the director, <br />needs to or should know what's going on. We're not really here to give you to micromanage <br />you. I think everybody would agree with that. But we need to know some of the major issues <br />that the department is facing and—let me ask J—are there ways that the Merit Appeals Board <br />could help the director and/or the department? <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: In doing? <br />CHR. CABANAS: So, let's say—let's take the recruitment issue right now because that's pretty <br />much on the forefront. <br />So, we're having this discussion, we're asking questions. Is there a way or let me backtrack with <br />my question. So, let's say Waylen is facing something major with recruitment. Can the Merit <br />Appeals Board provide suggestions to the director or is that over -stepping our boundaries? <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: I think the Merit Appeals Board has the discretion to provide input <br />CHR. CABANAS: Suggestions? <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Suggestions, right? <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: You wouldn't <br />CHR. CABANAS: I mean <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Yes? <br />Page 21 <br />
