~OAED MATTERS:
CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION POLICY
There was much discussion on this issue. Mere dith suggested using the exact wording
for the credit refemnces as outlined in Mr. Moore's memo of April 12, 2001.. Another
suggestion was to work up proper language to require two methods of pm viding credit
mferences or history if a credit report is not chosen.
Scott Taylor commented that contractom who am in business will have an accountant
and could pm vide an annual financial audit, but some applicants for licensum may not
have a business, and will not have an accountant, and therefore a credit report may be
their only method of credit mference. But, with all of the options offemd in Mr. Moore's
memo, the applicant will have a choice.
Mr. Neuberger(a) commented that in the past thirty (30) days, he has been licensed in
six (6) diffemnt cities and the first thing, St. Lucie, Ft. Pierce, Okeechobee, Stuart - the
first thing everyone of them asked for was a credit m port.
Them was discussion about mquiring a two-step process for those applicants who do
not wish to provide credit history with their application to take the test. It was suggested
that this could prove to be a delay to some applicants. Mom discussion took place.
Scott Taylor offemd the following wording - "Applicants am m quire d to pm vide
independent proof of their financial mputation and credit standing. Applicants are
stmngly encourage to pm vide as much information as possible, including, but not limited
to, individual credit reports, m fern nce lettem from Banks, and/or other worthy financial
institutions, most recent annual financial audits, individual balance sheets, and any other
applicable financial information available, in considem tion for approval of their
application." Jim Morris suggested a caveat between business and personal.
Mom discussion took place. VC Nicolini suggested that each member write down their
suggestions for credit require ments and bring them to the next meeting and a final
determination can be made for submittal to City Council for approval. Them was a
general agreement among Board members that to use the same wording that Scott
Taylor suggested above, which was taken from Mr. Moore's memo of April 12, 2001,
would be advantageous. Them was mom discussion.
Kathy Nappi suggested that the wording for mquired credit history should be part of the
pm posal for a new or reworded application that Andrew AIIocco is working on. He
indicated that he could have a draft ready for the next meeting.
Them was discussion about using the same application for licensing, gmndfathering and
reciprocity, and placing these choices on the application form for checking off. Kathy
asked if credit m ports would be requested' for each of these uses. This issue will be
discussed at the next meeting.

suggested to include the new proposed fee when submitting the revised application
