Merit Appeals Board March 12, 2024 CHR. CABANAS: I think the best protocol—because this is Board action, we need to vote on it, yeah to have a final draft, so I would recommend that. And I would need a motion, as the Chair, for us to have our Secretary -Reporter finalize this as we discussed this morning—into a final draft that we will send—she will send for the Board to the Deputy Attorney General, who will now be—as we were informed this morning by Amanda, our current Deputy Attorney General that we will now have a new Deputy Attorney General, Richard Thomason. So, is that okay—Glynis is shaking her head as far as the protocol. So, may I have a motion for us to do that, please—and a second. MS. MATHEWS: So moved. CHR. CABANAS: Thank you. MR. KUNZ: Second. CHR. CABANAS: Any discussion? MR. KUNZ: One point CHR. CABANAS: Go ahead. MR. KUNZ: When it is in a final draft, we will still have one more chance for a review, correct? CHR. CABANAS: Yes, that's correct. So, the procedure will be—Glynis will—and that was the motion, we still have to vote on—we're in discussion now. But Glynis having our discussion on record, she will finalize the document into a final draft to be reviewed by our Deputy Attorney General. After that person reviews it and submits any comments or gives us the okay to proceed, then she will then have it—we will place it on the agenda for the next meeting so that the Board can vote on finalizing this draft. Okay, so, I'm going to start a rollcall vote on the motion that was made, yeah? So, I'll start with Ms. Mathews. MS. MATHEWS: Aye. CHR. CABANAS: Mr. Kunz. MR. KUNZ: Aye. CHR. CABANAS: Ms. Cabanas—aye. Three ayes. Motion carried to have our Secretary -Reporter incorporate the changes that we made earlier today, into the submittal of Ms. Mathews, and create a final draft for the review of our Deputy Attorney General. Okay. Page 17
