Merit Appeals Board April 23, 2026 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MS. BOND: Aye. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Mr. Aguinaldo. <br /> <br />MR. AGUINALDO: Aye. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Mr. Thomas. <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: Aye. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Ms. Cabanas—aye. <br /> <br />Four ayes. Motion carried. <br /> <br />Director’s Report (Item 5) <br /> <br />A. MAB Quarterly Reports: January – March 2026 (Administrative Services Division, <br />Classification & Pay Division, Equal Opportunity/ADA Division, Health & Safety Division, <br />Personnel & Organizational Development Division, Recruitment & Examination Division, <br />Workers’ Compensation Division) <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. So now we are on the “Director’s Report”—MAB Quarterly Reports for <br />January through March 2026. So, Sommer, you may proceed. <br /> <br />(At this time, Ms. Sommer J. Tokihiro, Director, Human Resources Department, came <br />forward.) <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: So, First Quarter of the calendar year and Third Quarter of our fiscal year. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Mm-hmm. <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: So, you all have the report for review, so I’m happy to answer any questions. <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: When you have mandatory anti-discrimination and harassment training <br />sessions, where’s the mandate coming from? <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: It’s a County policy that every employee has to attend that training. So, we’ve <br />made that a mandatory training for all of our employees. And then, I believe it was last year that <br />we amended that training—and so, we’ve been re-training all of our employees—all of the <br />supervisors, department heads—so everybody is going through that updated training. <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: Are you running into any headwinds from the Feds.—the current <br />Administration? <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: No. No issues, to my knowledge, pertaining to this issue. <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: Okay. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Any questions or comments for Sommer regarding this report? <br /> <br />Page 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
