A 2/3 Vote Pursuant To HRS Section 92-4 Is <br />Necessary To Hold An Executive Meeting) <br />CHR. CABANAS: We now have the executive session meeting minutes. The first one I think <br />we're going to take it separate. I'm going to take it separate. I'm going to read the executive <br />session verbiage because we may need to go into executive session for these two. <br />The Merit Appeals Board anticipates convening one or more executive meetings regarding the <br />above matters pursuant to HRS sections 92-4 and 92-5(a)(4) for the purpose of consulting with <br />the Board's attorney on questions and issues pertaining to the Board's powers, duties, privileges, <br />immunities, and liabilities. A two-thirds vote pursuant to HRS, section 92-4, is necessary to hold <br />an executive meeting. <br />Before we go any further, I forgot to introduce our Deputy Attorney General, Mr. James <br />Halvorson, who is sitting via Zoom from Oahu. Good morning, Jim. <br />MR. HALVORSON: Good morning, everyone. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Mr. Halvorson represents the Merit Appeals Board when we have appeal <br />hearings. And Mr. Yoshimoto represents the Merit Appeals Board when we have regular <br />meetings. So, their responsibilities are different for the Board. And when we have appeal <br />hearings that Mr. Yoshimoto excuses himself just to let you know. <br />Okay. So for the first executive session meeting —it was February 25, 2025. Have you had the <br />chance to review those meeting minutes? I do have —when I read the meeting minutes, I do have <br />noted corrections to the meeting minutes. So, do we need —we need to go into executive <br />session. <br />SPEAKER: (Inaudible.) <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yes. So, may I have a motion for the Board to enter into executive session? <br />MS. BOND: So moved. <br />MR. THOMAS: Second. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Thank you. Any discussion? If not, I'll start a rollcall vote with Ms. Bond. <br />Page 4 <br />
