OTHER BUSINESS

The Board welcomed Steve Jones, the new President-Elect of the Maryland Society of Surveyors.

Mr. Jones asked about the status of being able to look up a licensee by license number on the public query. Mr. Parr reported that IT is working on this.

Chairman Maloy reminded Mr. Parr that he is still trying to get an appointment with the Secretary and that no one has called him to set it up. Mr. Parr told him that he would check on this again.

Chairman Maloy would like to have it noted that the Board Manual that was sent to all Board members is the manual that he submitted 2 years ago. The manual was discussed at length and it was indicated that as soon as someone is appointed to the Board they should receive this.

Mr. Parr reported to the Board that a new clerical/receptionist person had been hired. RFP is still under review and they are scheduled to meet this afternoon and hopefully a decision will be made today.

Chairman Maloy would like it to be noted that today is the deadline for submission to the legislators of special funding and no boards have seen a draft of that report from Mr. Loleas. MINUTES – LAND SURVEYORS October 1, 2008 Page Three
