Merit Appeals Board September 26, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(At this time, Mr. Ted H. S. Hong, Esquire, Attorney at Law, Legal Counsel on behalf of <br />Appellant Mr. Jonah N. Kaye (already seated at the dais); and Ms. Sherilyn K. Tavares, <br />Deputy Corporation Counsel, Office of the Corporation Counsel, came forward.) <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: (Inaudible.) <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, so look at the orange tab—25-02.09, Board members. Okay, so that <br />will be changed, “Civil Service Commission” will be changed to “Merit Appeals Board.” <br /> <br />May I have a motion to approve this Order? <br /> <br />MS.

BOND: Okay. Okay, just checking. I didn’t want us to get in trouble. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Do you think we should have it updated?
