Merit Appeals Board <br />January 16, 2025 <br />CHR. CABANAS: So, (inaudible) no input at that time when we rendered our vote. There was <br />no discussion about any of that. The thought of it came up afterwards. <br />MS. TAVARES: Yeah, Mr. Lee —and I'm standing in for him today because he's over in <br />Circuit Court— <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. <br />MS. TAVARES: but that was his question because he posed that question, "Is it the Board's <br />intent for Mr. Turner to complete the period of probation" —and the response, and the way he <br />interpret it was, "Yes, that the Board did intend for Mr. Turner to complete probation" —and so <br />that's why we're in this situation, like, if the Board wants him to complete probation —how — <br />what is the mechanism? Because effectively if Ms. Tokihiro's decision is reversed, then he <br />would have ultimately <br />CHR. CABANAS: Correct. <br />MS. TAVARES: completed probation <br />CHR. CABANAS: And that's logical. <br />MS. TAVARES: (Inaudible) he doesn't need any further <br />CHR. CABANAS: That's logical. That's logical. <br />MS. TAVARES: (inaudible). <br />CHR. CABANAS: Correct. <br />MS. TAVARES: So, that was just a clarification. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, very good. Mm-hmm. <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Sorry. So, I just wanted to raise all of the concerns and make the Board aware <br />of the implications of the language <br />CHR. CABANAS: Mm-hmm. <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: so that you could be clear moving forward with how to make Mr. Turner <br />whole. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. Do I have a motion? Oh, well, before we go there, I need to check <br />with Mr. Hong. Mr. Hong, do you have any concerns at this time regarding what the Director <br />has reported? <br />Page 10 <br />
