Merit Appeals Board <br />March 12, 2024 <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: And I think also to make those connections between, say, our current County <br />employees and highlighting the work that they're actually doing. And I think that the <br />departments have a better opportunity to be able to highlight, "Hey, come to work for Public <br />Works, we need engineers. This is what our engineers do" things like that. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Does IT help the departments with it—the social media. Or it's like—are <br />they—each department really on their own (inaudible). <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: I believe each department—well, I believe IT can assist but the Prosecutor's <br />Office and the Police Department have their own IT. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Right. <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: They don't work withI mean, they have their own IT and their own servers <br />and things of that nature. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Right. But other departments are smaller. So, like, if it's an agency or a <br />smaller department—not necessarily the Big 7 -but IT would help them? <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yes <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: And I've been talking to the IT Director, Rob Ewbank, about we're kind of <br />tossing around the idea of creating a County community employee page. So, kind of, like the <br />internet but kind of taking that idea and moving it forward to bring it, kind of, to be more current <br />where we can highlight information about employees, share changes in policies or procedures <br />and that's more focused on that retention aspect—developing that sense of community amongst <br />employees. <br />So, yeah, IT as a departmentdefinitely, wants to assist. And so yeah, they are available as a <br />resource for our departments for things like that. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, thank you. Where are you now with the EO/ADA recruitment, `cause <br />that's—is that open continuous? <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yes. So, we initially ran the recruitment at the minimum rate of pay, as is our <br />policy, and didn't have any eligible candidates. I believe we received several applications, but <br />individuals did not qualify for the position. <br />So, then, we converted it to include hire above the minimum in order to increase the pay range, <br />and then it re -opened on a continuous recruitment. So, the recruitment efforts are ongoing, as <br />qualified applicants are identified—because it's on continuous recruitment will be referred <br />those names immediately. So, we'll take action on those. <br />Page 8 <br />
