Merit Appeals Board August 30, 2022 But we're going to build off of that. We already have another one planned for November and we have a list of events already established throughout the rest of the year. So, I think the answer is, "yes." The staff and myself have noticed personally how much more interest we're getting through these events. And so, I want to build on this momentum and continue. But I do anticipate by the end of the year, as a goal that we had set for recruitment to see an increase in, not only in applications, but qualified individuals for the position. So, I think we're doing really well there. MR. KUNZ: Thank you. CHR. CABANAS: I would encourage you folks to continue doing that because you know what that tells me—it tells me you folks went to the right fishing spot. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. CHR. CABANAS: Yeah. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. CHR. CABANAS: You went where the fish are. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes, we did. CHR. CABANAS: Yeah. And so, where you have that traffic people are there at the mall, they're shopping—and I'm glad the departments supported you folks they went here. Yeah, you need to keep it up because that's how you're going to get people to apply for County jobs. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. And so, I would like to ask if you guys know of any venues on the west side because we'd like to do the same setup on the west side. It's a little bit different with west side. So, open to any suggestions for West Hawaii. CHR. CABANAS: And even taking it to, let's say, Hamakua, like—Gay is in Honokaa. When Honokaa has, let's say, Heritage Week or they have that Western Week or something—or other— MS. MATHEWS: There's the Western Week and there's, actually, a Renaissance Fair coming up November 12''. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Oh, okay. CHR. CABANAS: Or even in Waimea. MS. MATHEWS: But it's the first time, so who knows how well it'll go. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yeah. Page 24
