Reinstatements

McCoy VII, John F-License #14909 lapsed 1/31/94- Provided new application, appropriate fee and list of documents that were sealed during lapsed period.

The Board reviewed Mr. McCoy’s application whose license lapsed 1994 and continued to work in Connecticut. The Board noted that it lacked the required endorsers, that he voluntarily let his license lapse in New York in 2007 and has an unregistered engineering company in Connecticut.

Board tabled this application for the January 12, 2010 meeting to have Mr. McCoy appear before the Board, and bring his completed application along with typical documents that were signed during the lapsed period, and to be prepared to discuss is corporate status. (Dist. 4)

The Board interviewed Mr. McCoy in regards to how his license lapsed and reviewed the work that was done during the lapsed period and found the work to be satisfactory and quite detailed. The applicant provided all documents that the Board requested. The Board advised Mr. McCoy to be more conscience in renewing his license in the future.

Motion made by (1) seconded by (7) to approve reinstatement. Motion carried.

Crowley, Maureen C-License lapsed 1/31/00- Completed new application, paid appropriate fees, did not sign and seal during lapsed period.

Motion made by (5) seconded by (8) to approve reinstatement. Motion carried.

Miller, Scott-License lapsed 1/31/08- Paid appropriate fees, provided updated experience record and included projects that were signed during the lapsed period.

Motion made by (5) seconded by (8) to approve reinstatement. Motion carried.

Reconsideration

Dempsey, James K- Applicant was originally approved under class 10s, which requires, the passing of the FE exam, proof of graduation and 2 years of engineering experience following the date of graduation. Mr. Dempsey has passed the FE exam and has successfully graduated from Central CT State University. Mr. Dempsey is requesting that the Board revisit his application and grant him an EIT registration based on his associates degree and experience. (Dist. 2)

The Board reviewed Mr. Dempsey’s letter and voted to approve the EIT certificate. However, the Board stated that his experience and the years that is required must be consistent with the Board’s Rules and Regulations, which requires the engineering experience to be after the date of graduation in order to be eligible to sit for the Principles & Practice of Engineering exam. The applicant would require 8 ½ years of engineering experience following his associates degree or would require 7 years of experience following his BSCET degree.

Motion made by (3) seconded by (1) to approve EIT certificate and advise applicant that to be eligible to sit for the Principles & Practice of Engineering exam, the experience is credited after the graduation date for each degree. Motion carried.

F-Complaints

F-1 Case Number 2008-1837

Attorney Steven Schwane stated that the Department of Consumer Protection received information from the state of New York that they annulled the land surveyor license of a person licensed in Connecticut as a professional engineer and land surveyor. The New York action was based on a finding that the land surveying experience that was listed on the New York application was not fully supported. After waiting for the resolution of the New York action, the department requested the land surveyor to submit proof of his land surveying experience.

The department held a compliance meeting, which was attended by Curtiss Smith, board member. The compliance meeting satisfied the department’s concerns and therefore, the department recommends that the board dismiss this case.

Motion made by (12) seconded by (8) to dismiss this complaint. Motion carried with one abstention. (11)

17 G-Other Items

G-1 Declaratory Ruling Proceeding scheduled for 9:00 am, room 117, 165 Capitol Ave, Hartford CT, where the Board intends to issue a Declaratory Ruling on the following issues:

1) The submission of plans and maps in digital form, including vector CADD files, by professional engineers and land surveyors to unlicensed individuals or agencies not under the responsible charge of a licensed design professional;

2) The uses of Geographic Information Systems that are to be deemed land surveying and require professional land surveying supervision by license land surveyors.

The declaratory hearing began at 9:10 am.

Mr. Andrew Tupper spoke and questioned the “under the responsible charge of a licensed design professional”. The Board will incorporate this change to be more specific regarding the licensed design professional.

There was no one else who spoke and the hearing closed at 9:15 am.

Motion made by (7) and seconded by (3) to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried.

Meeting adjourned at 12:04 pm

The next meeting for the Board is scheduled for February 9, 2010.
