Merit Appeals Board <br />Unfinished Business (Item 7) <br />February 17, 2023 <br />Election Of Merit Appeals Board Chair And Vice -Chair For The Calendar Year 2023. <br />(Note: At Its Meeting Held On January 20, 2023, Ms. Gabriella M. Cabanas Was <br />Confirmed As Chair For Calendar Year 2023. However, The Nomination For Vice -Chair <br />Was Postponed Due To The Absence Of Board Member Charlie Kunz.) <br />CHR. CABANAS: We are now on Number 7, "Unfinished Business." At this time, we have <br />actually three Board members—Ms. De Soto, Ms. Mathews, and Mr. Kunz. Mr. Ventura is—his <br />term ended actually, officially, end of December 2022 but Mel has kindly agreed to holdover <br />until his successor is officially confirmed next week by the council. <br />So, at this time, I'll entertain a motion to nominate a Board member for the vice -chair position <br />for the year—calendar year 2023. <br />MS. MATHEWS: I move that Charlie Kunz be nominated as vice -chair. <br />MS. DE SOTO: Second. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Thank you. Any discussion? Someone has to say "yes." Mr. Kunz, are you <br />accepting. <br />MR. KUNZ: Actually, I was going to nominate Ms. Mathews so we have a little bit island <br />representation. <br />MR. VENTURA: Second. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Mr. Ventura, are you voting? Oh, you second the motion? <br />MR. VENTURA: I second Mr. Kunz motion. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. Thank you. <br />MR. KUNZ: My discussion point is that we have, perhaps, a chair and vice -chair that's <br />representing, at least, closely both sides of the island. <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Just as a procedural matterso, you have two motions, you need to <br />dispose of the first motion first in order to entertain the second motion. <br />So, if the first motion is withdrawn, then we can move on to Mr. Kunz's motion. But if it's <br />not <br />MS. MATHEWS: I am not withdrawing my motion. <br />Page 16 <br />
