CABANAS: Is there any "Addendum to the Agenda," Glynis? Okay, we have one <br />communication that we received. It was electronically filed in the Third Circuit Court and that's <br />Communication number 25-02.08, which I will be reading into the record later —in a few <br />minutes. <br />Statements from the Public (Item 3) <br />CHR. CABANAS: Any "Statements from the Public" on any of the agenda items? <br />Approval of Minutes (Item 4) <br />CHR. CABANAS: If not, moving along, there are no minutes to be reviewed or approved today. <br />Director's Report (Item 5) <br />MAB Monthly Divisional Activity Report: May 2025 (Administrative Services Division, <br />Classification & Pay Division, Equal Opportunity/ADA Division, Health & Safety Division, <br />Labor Relations Division, Personnel & Organizational Development Division, Recruitment <br />& Examination Division, Workers' Compensation Division) <br />CHR. CABANAS: And so, we are now on the Director of Human Resources report. And I <br />know the hearing is supposed to start at 9 a.m. according to our agenda regarding a number of <br />communications as listed on the agenda. <br />But I'm going to ask all of you, if there are any objections for us to take the "Director's Report" <br />at this time because she is calling in from Japan. So, we'll try to move yes? Any <br />Page 3 <br />
