Merit Appeals Board January 20, 2023 <br />CHR. CABANAS: Oh, okay. So, his term could end sooner than 90 days? <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Correct. Yeah <br />CHR. CABANAS: Oh, okay. Right now, we do not have any knowledge of the nomination <br />being on a calendar, correct? <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Yeah, I don't have any information as far whether the council has—yeah— <br />County <br />asyeahCounty Council. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Right. Okay. So, with that, Board members, do you have a motion for the <br />vice -chair position? I mean, Charlie is not here. It's now between, I guess, Kate or Gay. <br />MS. MATHEWS: My plate's so full at the moment, I can't even but what I'm wondering isI <br />know Charlie's not here. Has anybody talked to him about this position because we can vote <br />him in with him being gone—and if we're nice and if we're mean. But either way, we have that <br />ability. I'm trying to go for nice at the moment. Do we know how he feels about this? <br />CHR. CABANAS: Well, no, because we don't want to violate any Sunshine Law. So, I haven't <br />had any discussion with no one. I waited for today's meeting for all of us to discuss this matter. <br />So, J, any advice could you render to the Board? <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: I think what you said is accurate, Madam Chair, that any discussions needs <br />to be done in a meeting. And so, Ms. Mathews is also correct—the Board could nominate <br />Mr. Kunz even if he's not here—although that's the Board's call, right, as far as whether you <br />want to or not, `cause you don't have any input from him, whether he's—how he feels about it, <br />right. <br />If the Board doesn't have a direction it wants to take and wants to defer it until he appears, we <br />could do that, too. In other words— <br />MS. MATHEWS: So, we can defer? <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: We can defer or we can do it today, depending on what the Board <br />members— <br />MS. MATHEWS: I move we defer until Mr. Kunz has an opportunity for placing his opinion. <br />MS. DE SOTO: Second. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. There's a motion made and a second to defer the vice -chair <br />discussion until Mr. Kunz is present, hopefully, at the next meeting. Any discussion? If not, we <br />willI will initiate a rollcall vote, starting with Mr. Ventura. <br />Page 5 <br />
