Merit Appeals Board March 24, 2023 <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: From what I understand, it's R&D in partnership with the Office of <br />Housing and Community Development. They have a division—right now, it's Sharon Hirota <br />was, kind of, taking the lead from Office of Housing and Bob Agres from Research and <br />Development Department. And it's really new. I don't I really don't know where we're going <br />to fit in. I like the concept. So, I'm going to try and navigate through the next couple of <br />meetings to see where we can benefit most from our participation. <br />MS. MATHEWS: Great. Thank you. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: There's something there. I just I can't put my finger on it right now. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Anyone else with questions—Mr. Kunz, no questions? Okay. I just have <br />one question. It wasn't mentioned but it was mentioned, I think, at the last meeting. <br />For the CVE program, can that be expanded to include other course disciplines likeI was just <br />thinking, now that you have a new police chief—has there been any discussion to have CVE <br />students for police so that you use the funding? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. Actually—we've actually started that discussion with Andrey to <br />expand beyond just business students, to include AJ and the other areas—trades. So, yes, we <br />have already entered into discussions, but I think our local HCC is really experiencing a <br />significant drop in their participation. So—but we did put it out there and we are open for <br />discussions with HCC. <br />And I have a really close working relationship with Ms. Ann Chung and she's a great resource <br />not only to the college of—her business in tech. division, but she can connect me with other key <br />people within the HCC system. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. Thank you, Waylen. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: You're welcome. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, if not—no other questions, I guess that concludes the director's report. <br />So, may I have a motion to accept and file the director's MAB monthly divisional activity report <br />for the month of March 2023 and also the community relations report. <br />MS. MATHEWS: So moved. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Thank you. Is there a second? <br />MS. DE SOTO: Second. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Any discussion? If not, we will start a rollcall vote with Ms. Gay Mathews. <br />Page 7 <br />
