Merit Appeals Board <br />September 29, 2023 <br />MR. PATEL: Yeah. And we do not have, currently—have a student helper either. <br />CHR. CABANAS: The student helper is CVE or different from CVE? <br />MR. PATEL: That one is different. It's different. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. <br />MS. MATHEWS: So, help me understand just a bit here. The 20 temporary on-call positions <br />might that include people, like, lifeguards? <br />MR. PATEL: No. So, for this pilot project it would be park caretakers only. <br />MS. MATHEWS: Okay. <br />MR. PATEL: Yeah. So, hopefully, the idea is, if successful, we can then expand it into other <br />classes of work. <br />MS. MATHEWS: And do they go through any vetting like you do if they were actually a <br />permanent position? <br />MR. PATEL: They still have to do the regular onboarding because they would be doing work on <br />behalf of the County. We still need to issue them PPE, for example, they would be covered by <br />work comp.—yeah. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Patel. Any other questions to the letter that he <br />submitted? I have another question, if I can. So, the CVE program, the allocation increased to <br />52,000? <br />MR. PATEL: It did. Unfortunately, we've not had anyone really come through the CVE just <br />no takers at this point. So, that is something Michelle is working on. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Not one student referral? <br />MR. PATEL: Yeah, not that I know of. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Wow. <br />MR. PATEL: Yeah. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. Thank you. <br />And then, I have a question regarding Number 5. So, the question is, "What major challenges <br />does the department/agency face?" And then, there's 13 listed. But when I look at it, it appears <br />Page 12 <br />
