re -activate painting license that has expired for more than three years. [City Code
of Ordinance, Sec. 26-168(c): A certificate that is not renewed within three full years
after expiration may not be renewed, restored or reinstated thereafter except by

stated if the Board does give approval, he would like to revisit the code to determine the
appropriate fees required. Additional packet information included Mr. Sherman's test
scores on the Block exam, history of contractor licensing fees previously paid from 2001
to 2004, Competency Card info, letters of work and character affirmation, state
registration and insurance documents, and his Brevard County business tax receipt.
Mr. Sherman was not present, but Teri Robotti was at the meeting, representing him, to
answer any questions.
Mr. Eseltine discussed fees. He reviewed three scenarios regarding how Mr. Sherman
could be charged to re -activate the license: A) Re -instate the license with the contractor
paying for the previous delinquent fees from 2005 to 2011 ($75 x 7 years = $525), plus
the annual renewal fee ($30), plus the re -instate fee ($20) for a total of $575; or B) pay
the inactive fees ($10 x 7 years = $70), plus the annual renewal fee ($30), plus the re-
instate fee ($20) for a total of $120; or C) pay the annual renewal fee ($30), plus the re-
instate fee ($20) for a total of $50.
The Board discussed if they had the authority to re -instate the license without re -testing,
what re -testing entailed for Mr. Sherman, and how active he has been. Ms. Robotti
explained that most of his inactivity was for medical reasons, and that he was up-to-date
with his Brevard County license.
Staff recommended re -instating the license, and having the Board decide with regards to
the fees/penalties.
