Merit Appeals Board
<br />April 22, 2025
<br />Okay, so the next hearing is June 24—it's a Tuesday —June 24, 2025, Tuesday, at 9 a.m., here,
<br />in the Hilo Council Chambers of the Hawaii County Building, at 25 Aupuni Street, First Floor,
<br />Room 1401, in Hilo.
<br />And these are the deadlines for both the Appellant and the County. The first deadline is
<br />May 20'', 2025 that's a Tuesday. This deadline is for both parties to submit your position
<br />statements limited to 20 pages and supporting documentation regarding any preliminary issues
<br />whether the Board has jurisdiction to hear the appeal or any other preliminary concern. And the
<br />deadline is May 20'', close of business, 4:30 p.m. This would only be a hearing on this issue and
<br />will not be on the merits of the appeal. It's going to be focused on whether we have jurisdiction
<br />to hear the appeal. Okay. Note that this deadline is 15 calendar days prior to the next deadline,
<br />June 4 h.
<br />On June 4 h, this deadline is for both parties both of you to respond, it's responsive pleadings,
<br />and the deadline is 4:30 p.m. of June 4 h. This deadline is 20 calendar days prior to the June 241h
<br />2025, hearing date.
<br />You will need to submit all documents to our Board's Secretary, Ms. Glynis Yamada, via email
<br />and regular mail or hand -delivered, and to the opposing parry. And when you submit the
<br />documents, you need to have 1-original and 8-copies for all submittals —and 1-copy to the
<br />opposing parry.
<br />SPEAKER: So, it will be 10, right?
<br />CHR. CABANAS: Yeah, would be 10.
<br />So 1-original and 8-copies for all submittals and then a copy to the opposing parry.
<br />SPEAKER: So that'd be 10?
<br />CHR. CABANAS: Would be 10mm-hmm. And the Appellant, you, Mr. Kailiawa-Smith, you
<br />will number and tab your exhibits. So, Number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The Appellee, the County, you will
<br />alphabetize your exhibits and tab it —A, B, C, D, E that way we differentiate whose exhibits
<br />they are.
<br />So, if this hearing date, the time, and the deadlines are okay with our Board members, I'll need a
<br />motion and a second and then we'll take a vote. Is it okay for —with all of you? With both of
<br />you?
<br />MR. KAILIAWA-SMITH: Yeah, would you like a cover letter for the exhibits or just numbers
<br />on the actual page? And what I mean by that isExhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C, and the
<br />corresponding pages.
<br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, yours is numbers 1, 2, 3, 4.
