Merit Appeals Board January 30, 2025 <br />MS. TAVARES: How soon do you want these recruitments to go out. <br />MR. HONG: I object. She can't have it both ways. I asked the question, there's an objection <br />how soon —it's irre—not only <br />MS. TAVARES: No. <br />MR. HONG: is it relevant, it's vague and it's speculative. <br />MS. TAVARES: You asked him about his opinion on a lot of things and I can ask him —how <br />soon does he want this recruitment to start? <br />MR. HONG: Does it matter what the Chief —the Assistant Chief wants. He testified it's on the <br />Chief's desk and he can't do anything until the Chief finalizes and signs it. So, it's speculative. <br />MS. TAVARES: It's not speculative if I'm asking what the Chief —what he wants. Yes, maybe <br />he doesn't have the power but I think it's important for this Board to know what his position is <br />with regards to filling these vacancies. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Well, you could ask the question in a, maybe, a little different way? What <br />are —what is the department's plans in having another recruitment. There is a process that they <br />have to go through. What is that process? <br />MS. TAVARES: I'll just not ask any further questions. <br />CHR. CABANAS: I believe it was stated at the January meeting that —go back to your minutes, <br />to your notes, that in order for the department to do this particular recruitment that Mr. Kaye was <br />hired for, they had a blanket approval to fill all WSO III positions and WSO II positions. <br />And now that it's a new calendar year, they need to get another blanket approval of the <br />Administration. Right? <br />MS. TAVARES: Yes. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. So, that's where we're at. You can ask? <br />MS. TAVARES: I'm not going to ask any more questions <br />CHR. CABANAS: Further? <br />MS. TAVARES: Yes. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. Mr. Hong? <br />Page 26 <br />
