Merit Appeals Board March 13, 2025 <br />Counsel; Ms. Sherilyn Tavares from the Office of the Corporation Counsel; Mr. Lyndon P. K. <br />Turner, employee from Public Works; and Mr. Ted Hong, his attorney. And appearing via Zoom <br />is our Deputy Attorney General. He is our Legal Counsel from the Attorney General's Office, <br />and he's our Counsel for appeal hearing matters. And Mr. Kaye is notoh, there you are. And <br />we also have Mr. Jonah Kaye, employee, from the Hawaii Fire Department. <br />We are situated in the Hilo Council Chambers of the Hawaii County Building, at 25 Aupuni <br />Street, First Floor, Room 1401, in Hilo, Hawaii. <br />Addendum to Agenda (Item 2) <br />CHR. CABANAS: We do have an addendum to the agenda. And it is Communication number <br />24-14—it's the Appellant's Notice of Objection to the Merit Appeals Board's Finding of Fact, <br />Conclusion of Law and Order, dated March 13, 2025, along with a Certificate of Service. So, we <br />will take that up a little later. Okay. <br />Statements from the Public (Item 3) <br />CHR. CABANAS: Are there any "Statements from the Public" at this time? <br />Approval of Minutes (Item 4) <br />CHR. CABANAS: If not, we don't have any "Minutes" to approve. <br />Director's Report (Item 5) <br />MAB Monthly Divisional Activity Report: March 2025 <br />CHR. CABANAS: We do have a "Director's Report" but we also have a lot of "Unfinished <br />Business" under Number 8 on the agenda. So, Board members, what is your preference —should <br />we take the "Unfinished Business" first or should we do the "Director's Report" as listed on the <br />agenda? <br />MS. MATHEWS: I'd like to suggest —particularly for Ms. Tokihiro's benefit, that we delay <br />unless it messes with her schedule —and take it after we take care of the other people in the <br />room. Thank you. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. So, is here a motion, please? <br />MS. MATHEWS: So moved. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Second? <br />MS. BOND: I second. <br />Page 3 <br />
