Merit Appeals Board May 12, 2026 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: And they could ask us to make suggestions and try to recruit people, <br />too, I suppose. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Well, you could refer individuals to apply for various boards and <br />commissions. <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: Do we see a particular area of expertise that the fifth Board member <br />would be good to bring to this group. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: I’m not sure, I think it’s really up to the Administration— <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: Okay. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: —what they—what they’re looking for. I’m not sure. <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: Okay, thank you. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yeah, you’re welcome. <br /> <br />MS. BOND: I have to say, Micah doesn’t duck and cower every time I go anywhere <br />near him. He’s like, “No, (inaudible).” <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Anyway—okay, other questions for Sommer? Gilbert, you have any? <br />Suzi, any? I’m just looking at this—so, I noticed the Equal Opportunity, they do monthly <br />anti-discrimination and harassment training. Do—what happens if someone comes to <br />you and say, “I’m getting harassed at work”—or “I’m getting—I have this situation”— <br />what can you do to help them, if anything? <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: So, Alika will provide guidance regarding the policy and then the <br />necessary reporting documentation to complete. And, actually, I did research because <br />it’s come up several times where we were talking about the number of complaints or <br />inquiries per month. <br /> <br />And so, I’ve been looking at the log, and the log encompasses a variety of things. It’s <br />not just filing of complaints; it could be inquiries regarding a particular process—like a <br />request for a reasonable accommodation or it could be request for training as well. <br /> <br />So, those are actually when individuals or departments—‘cause it’s not all employees. <br />It could be departments that are investigating an issue that they’re reaching out to Alika <br />for some type of guidance. <br /> <br />So, if an employee was reporting what they consider to be harassment, we would <br />definitely connect them with the appropriate way to file their complaint, so that the <br />allegations could be investigated. <br /> <br />Page 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
