Merit Appeals Board <br />August 30, 2022 <br />CHR. CABANAS: Thank you, Kate and Charlie. Any discussion regarding these two <br />communications? I just want to note that the reason why I responded as the chair to the Cost of <br />Government Commission, we had already met in July. And then, we received their letter right <br />after our July meeting and we were not meeting until today. <br />So, I felt that as the chair and in consultation with corp. counsel, that this required Board <br />discussion and then respond officially back to the Cost of Government Commission. So, that's <br />why these two communications are on the agenda. <br />Okay, so we will start with a rollcall vote with Kate to accept and file Communication number <br />22-05 and Communication number 22-05.01. <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: So, Madam Chair? <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yes, go ahead. <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Is the Board going to discuss the responses to the questions posed? <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yes. <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Okay. So, we can take the vote after <br />CHR. CABANAS: We can discuss—or should we discuss it now? <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Yeah, now. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Oh, okay, we should do it now. Okay, great. Okay. <br />So, let me direct all of you to the Cost of Government Commission, dated July 18, 2022. Has <br />everyone had the opportunity to review the letter? And may I direct everyone to the back of the <br />letter or the second page of the letter. <br />There are 10 questions that they are asking us for our feedback. The first one is: "Can <br />redundancy and waste be reduced by combining boards/commissions that are like focus?" So <br />MR. KUNZ: Before we begin <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yes. <br />MR. KUNZ: I have aif you guys don't mind, if we want to entertain a point of order and <br />move Mr. Leopoldino's report first before we start all of this? Can we do that? <br />CHR. CABANAS: We can. But do the Board members want to—do they want to take the <br />"Director's Report" out of order? <br />Page 5 <br />
