Merit Appeals Board <br />December 21, 2023 <br />Four ayes. Motion carried and the executive session minutes will be reviewed at the January <br />meeting. <br />Okay. So there are no "Communications," no "New Business." <br />Unfinished Business (Item 7) <br />Discussion Concerning The Appeal Process For Individuals Who File An Appeal <br />(Note: The Above Matter Was Listed On The October 25, 2023, Merit Appeals Board <br />Agenda.); And <br />Communication No. 23-07, From Merit Appeals Board Chair Gabriella M. Cabanas, <br />Providing A Fact Sheet Regarding "Information On Filing Appeals With The Merit <br />Appeals Board (MAB)". This Document Was Obtained From The MAB Files, Which Is <br />Currently Available To The Public. Chair Cabanas Requests The Board Review And <br />Discuss Possible Revisions To The Fact Sheet <br />CHR. CABANAS: We are now on Number 7, "Unfinished Business." So, we have a fact sheet <br />provided by Glynis. She found this in the files and upon discussion, I thought it would be a good <br />idea for us to review it. <br />This concerns what may be appealed before MAB, who may file the appeal, and the filing <br />deadlines. What we want to do is, also, address—which I'm working on—what an appellant can <br />do to prepare for an appeal hearing. <br />So, I'm working on that—and then I'll have J and Glynis review it and then it will go to the <br />Deputy Attorney General to also review it. So, that probably won't be done till early next year. <br />But, for now, this is what the department already had prepared about who can file an appeal, <br />what they can file, and the deadlines for the different matters. <br />So, have you all had a chance to review it? And do you have any comments or concerns? <br />MR. WISEMAN: I have one question. On the application, does the application state a right to <br />appeal? `Cause if your time is 20 days—and I'm just wondering how would a person know <br />when it's that 20 days—if they can appeal that or not. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yeah. Not on the application. But what happens is, once the person starts <br />the Administrative Review process or the Internal Complaint process that right to appeal is <br />provided to them. <br />MR. WISEMAN: I see. Okay. <br />CHR. CABANAS: I'm not sure if a right to appeal is on the posting, though. I can't remember. <br />MR. WISEMAN: Well, so long there's a notice therea timely notice. <br />Page 5 <br />
