MATHEWS: Have there been any recurring problems noted? Or is every accommodations <br />that's asked for, rather different from the one before? So, is there anything that you're, sort of, <br />honing in is going that needs more training or that needs more physical attention or anything of <br />that nature? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Fortunately, the current fiscal year, we haven't seen any increase in <br />requests. But I do have to say that I don't see any trends when we do get reasonable <br />accommodations request—they're very unique. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, thank you. Ms. De Soto, any questions? No? Okay.

So, for classification and pay I <br />notice the verbiage is pretty consistently the same. Are there any reorganizations—departmental <br />reorganizations that are ongoing? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Not ongoing, but we do get them regularly as these new department heads <br />are trying to figure out what works in their department. So, we do get them regularly. <br />CHR. CABANAS: But there are none at the moment? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: There are. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Oh, there are? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. UsuallyI mean, we're been getting a lot of them, I think, since this <br />new administration took office. But, yes, we do have current reorganizations going on. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: A lot of them are in que because we're still working on allocating new <br />positions that are coming in from departments for the current fiscal year, so <br />CHR. CABANAS: And for Labor Relations, the employer -level grievances, are there a lot of <br />grievances going on or <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Recently, yes. We have seen an increase. <br />Page 8 <br />
