The Board agreed to the placement of minimum qualifications in the <br /> announcement. <br /> Mr. Kuewa inquired about when they would be receiving the applications. <br /> Mr. Takahashi replied that they'll receive the applications by August 7t. <br /> Mr. Kuewa asked if they could look at the announcement before it's released. <br /> Mr. Takahashi replied that he will e-mail the announcement to the Board Members <br /> prior to its release. <br /> Mr. Takahashi asked for clarification regarding"internal" as there are varied <br /> definitions such as civil service employees, exempt employees,temporary <br /> employees, et cetera. <br /> Mr. Kuewa replied permanent employees only. <br /> Ms. Rabago questioned that under civil service reform, if you're in a civil service <br /> position whether permanent or temporary, but you hold a civil service number— <br /> that you would be eligible to apply for recruitments. <br /> Mr. Takahashi further clarified that if someone is in a civil service position, <br /> whether it be temporary with a limitation date, that they would eligible if they pass <br /> a six-month probationary period. He brought to the Board's attention that Sharon, <br /> who is his Deputy Director,will not be eligible because she's not a civil service <br /> employee.
