Bayle, Richard M./Residential Contractor Mr. Bayle was swom in by Ch. Garland. It was noted by Mrs. Carbano that neither of the letters of recommendation were on letter head. Mr. Bayle said he was very specific about this but he was told by both companies that this was the way they did their letters. Mr. Gilligan asked if Mr. Firth who had done one of the letters was a general or building contractor. His letter showed both. Mr. Bayle said while working for Mr. Firth he did both new construction and remodeling. He also told the Board that he currently worked for himself as a carpenter and that he was licensed in Indian River County, Indian River Shores and St. Lucie County. He said he did take a test for the license. Ch. Garland asked why a copy of this license was not in the packet. It was noted that it was not given to the Board Secretary. MOTION: Gilligan/Mitchell I make a motion that we approve Mr. Bayle to take the exam for Residential Contractor. ROLL CALL: Mr. Mitchell - yes Mrs. Carbano - no Mr. Gilligan - yes V.C. Morris - no Mr. Conover - no Ch. Garland - no Mr. Wolfe - no Motion denied 5 - 2. Ch. Garland noted that it looked as though the motion failed because the Board felt he did not have enough experience. V.C. Morris said that typically letters showing experience were on letterhead and the State of Florida mandates that the license number be shown on the letter. Also, he felt that both of the verification letters began with the same verbage. He said he might have felt different if they had been on letterhead. VIOLATION HEARINGS: None. BUILDING OFFICIAL MATTERS: None. BOARD MATTERS: Ch. Garland welcomed new board members Cindy Falco and Karri Lanning to the board. Mr. Gilligan wanted to go back to Mr. Bayle's application and the Board's reasoning behind denying it. He noted that Advanced Carpentry does a lot of work and asked if they felt it was a doctored letter. V.C. Morals said he felt there could be some conclusions drawn. He mentioned the letter not being on letterhead. Mr. Gilligan said that the company being a carpentry contractor probably wouldn't have it. Mrs. Carbano noted that the letters were set up the same way.. Mr. Gilligan felt that there was a signature on each and they had been notarized. Maybe they had someone type the letters that they would be signed and notarized. V.C. Morris mentioned that on Mr. Firth's letter that at the top it showed CGC with no number and at the bottom it showed CRC017293. He felt there was just a lack of credibility. Chairman Garland mentioned that Mr. Bayle said he had a carpentry license but did not provide a copy with his application. The Board Secretary said she did not know he had one, it was never mentioned. He said this brought doubt to his mind. V.C. Morris said that if the letters had letterhead on them and he had a copy of the license, he might have come to a different conclusion. ATTORNEY MATTERS: None. RECORD SCORES IN SCOREBOOK IN SCOREBOOK: Scores were recorded by Mr. Conover and Mr. Mitchell. 15 MINUTES TO PUBLIC There being no further business, meeting adjourned at 8:15 P.M.
