Okay, moving forward. Any discussion before we get started
with the new business? Anything? (No response.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Okay, then we'll jump
right in to it. Our first item is Mr. Stephen Sutter. Are you here
today?
MR. SUTTER: Yes, sir.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Please step up to this
podium.
Mr. Sutter, we're going to ask that you're sworn in.
(Speaker was duly sworn.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Mr. Sutter, we have an
Page 3
May 21, 2003
application in front of us to qualify a second entity. MR. SUTTER: Yes, sir.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: You want to tell us a
little bit about it?
MR. SUTTER: Yeah. I currently qualify Marco Bay Homes,
and I'm a minority partner in that company. The owner of that
company has actually passed his test and got his information to the
licensing board I think yesterday. He needs to go to the state now.
So in a month or so I will no longer need to, you know, qualify that
company.
But I've started my own company and I own 100 percent, to do
custom homes, and that's the reason I want to do a second entity.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Okay. Any discussion
here?
(No response.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: I see that the current
owner of Marco Bay Homes acknowledged that you -- that you're
qualifying for the second license. MR. SUTTER: Yes, right.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: He's put that in here.
We have your credit report which, as far as I can tell, looks to be
accurate and current and up-to-date without any major issues that I
can see. We have your articles of incorporation.
MR. SUTTER: I've had a license in Collier County since 1984
with no incidents whatsoever. And it's been active about the last year
and a half. It was inactive for a few years and it's been active last
year and a half with Marco Bay Homes. And like I said, he's just
about to have his activated, so I won't need to be qualifying that.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Mr. Bartoe, any
complaints or violations?
MR. BARTOE: No, sir.
MR. BARIL: Mr. Chair, this company was before this board. It
Page 4
May 21, 2003
was -- the person that you're talking about that is -- has passed his
test.
MR
MR
MR
MR
MR
MR.
SUTTER: Right.
BARIL: What's his name?
SUTTER: Don Wojciechowski.
BARIL: Don Wojciechowski.
SUTTER: Yeah.
BARIL: He was before this board, I want to say about six
months ago, and he had a company that had gone under and had
come before this board with some credit problems. I think he had
about $100,000 in federal tax liens, and he was working at the
Marriott or something at the time. I'm a little concerned that -- are
you aware of Mr. --
MR. SUTTER: Yes.
MR. BARIL: -- Wojciechowski's federal tax liens?
MR. SUTTER: Yes. And he has actually got letters recently
from the IRS that those things are cleared up. And he's given them to
the county. She has them over there, you know, the licensing. She
has those and she's cleared -- everything's cleared for him now to -- I
don't know if has to appear again in front of the board, but I think
everything's done except for sending it away to the state, and it's
going to the state this week.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Mr. Sutter, is Mr.
Wojciechowski involved if your new business in any way?
MR. SUTTER: No, not at all. Not in the new business.
MR. BARIL: He's not involved in Marco Bay Homes?
MR. SUTTER: He's involved in Marco Bay Homes, but not in
Sutter Builders.
MR. BARIL: You're not here for Sutter Builders, you're here
for Marco Bay Homes.
MR. SUTTER: No, I'm here to -- I qualify Marco Bay Homes
currently and I'd like to qualify my own company, Sutter Builders, as
Page 5
May 21, 2003
a second entity. That's what I'm applying to do. MR. BARIL: Oh.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: So, Mr. Baril, the new
company that he's starting to qualify, his brand new company,
starting on his own, Wojciechowski is not involved.
There may be some issues with Marco Bay Homes, but I don't
think this is the forum to do it. But I appreciate you pointing it out; I
had forgotten that.
MR. BARIL: My mistake. I was under the impression that
Sutter Homes (sic) was already established and he was qualifying
Marco Bay. I apologize.
MR. JOSLIN: Mr. Chairman, under the circumstances, looking
at the packet, I don't see anything really derogatory. I make a motion
that we approve this application.
MR. GUITE': I second the motion.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: We have a motion and a
second. Any further discussion? (No response.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: All in favor?
(Unanimous votes of ayes.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Any opposed?
(No response.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Motion carries.
Mr. Sutter, you'll have your qualification for the new company.
Mr. Bartoe will be quick to tell you that paperwork will not be ready
until at least tomorrow.
MR. BARTOE: Correct.
MR. SUTTER: Okay, that's fine.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Thank you very much.
MR. SUTTER: Thank you.
MR. BARTOE: Yeah, you can come into the office tomorrow,
Mr. Sutter, and take care of the paperwork. They can't help you
Page 6
May 21, 2003
today because I have your packet.
MR. SUTTER: That's fine. Thank you, Mr. Bartoe.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Okay, next on the
agenda is Mr. Willie Anthony. Are you here today? MR. ANTHONY: Yes.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Please step up to the
podium.
We'd ask that you're sworn in.
(Speaker was duly sworn.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Thank you.
Mr. Anthony, please tell us why you're here today.
MR. ANTHONY: Well, apparently somewhere along the line
my renewal -- me renewing my license fell through the cracks. I
don't know when it happened. That's something that in the past, you
know, you don't dwell on it because normally you get a letter from
the county letting you know that it's time to renew. Apparently the
letter either came or didn't come, I don't know, I don't recall seeing it,
because normally I just send it back. You know, I didn't send it back.
And I had some surgery here recently, and so I decided I don't know
if I'm going to be able to do electrical work the way I was doing it.
And I said well, I'll get my license and maybe I'll see what else I can
do. And that's when I realized that I didn't have a license, I mean a
current license.
So I went to the county and explained the situation, and they
said that in order for me to get a license -- I assumed that all you had
to do was pay your back fees -- that I had come before this board. So
I'm here to find out, you know, what it entails.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Have you moved in the
last four years?
MR. ANTHONY: No, I've been in the same place for 30 some
years.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: That -- typically that
Page 7
May 21, 2003
happens.
I see you took the original test back in 19667
MR. ANTHONY: Yeah, I took the test when -- that's when the
city and the county were separate. I mean, the city had its own
department as related to inspections, licensing and all that stuff.
They finally -- I guess there was an interlocal agreement or
something like that where the county housed that stuff for the city.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Okay. I wasn't even
born in 1966.
MR. ANTHONY: I guess a few of us are still around that was
born in 1966.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: So basically you've
been an acting electrician for at least the -- since 1966, you've been a
Collier Electric --
MR. ANTHONY: Well, I've been a -- well, I haven't been with
Collier since 1966 --
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Understood.
MR. ANTHONY: -- but I've been with several carpenters, I
think about three during that course of time. A couple of them is no
longer in existence.
But my most recent company, I think I started with Collier in
1994 and, you know, I mean, you just -- you know, if you got the
skills, you just do the job. And that's something that I'm pretty sure
I'm not the only one who probably don't dwell on just when the thing
comes, you send the money.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: And you're not
qualifying Collier Electric, you are simply reinstating your
journeyman license --
MR. ANTHONY: Right.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: -- primarily, for some of
the consumer people on the board, there's a separate license to act as
a -- what's considered a master electrician to be able to work on a job
Page 8
May 21, 2003
MR.
MR.
MR.
or you don't.
MR. LLOYD:
him?
site and perform certain functions. So he's not actually qualifying the
company, he's just reinstating his personal license to act as a master
electrician.
MR. ANTHONY: Well, I'm really not asking to be -- act as a
master electrician but a journeyman electrician --
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Journeyman electrician.
MR. ANTHONY: -- a person who manages a job site. I don't
bid on jobs, I don't do stuff like that. But a journeyman electrician
do run job sites, but, I mean, he be the man in charge on the site.
MR. LLOYD: Mr. Bartoe, what typically is the procedure to
notify people that their license is up for -- going to expire? Typically
what does the county office do to notify him that his --
MR. BARTOE: That it has expired?
MR. LLOYD: Yes.
BARTOE: None.
LLOYD: None?
BARTOE: We send out notice to renew, you either renew
And that is done -- say in 1999 that was done for
MR. BARTOE: His '99 license would have expired September
30th, '99. Notices would have went out in August that it's time to
renew.
MR. LLOYD: And that's it, one time.
MR. BARTOE: One time.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD' We've had this
conversation in the past, and it is the license holder's responsibility to
maintain his license. The county sends out one notice. Perhaps it
should be more but that's the way it's --
MR. BARTOE' And I believe the reason he's before you is
because it's been expired over three years.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD' Right, I see.
Page 9
May 21, 2003
MR. NEALE: Yeah, the relevant ordinance sections are 1.4.8
and 1.4.9.
1.4.8 states that an individual that renews by the 30th of the year
following its expiration but after December 31st of that year. So in
this case you'd be 2000 to -- you'd be 2001 to 2002. December 31st,
2001. A suspended certificate must pay an additional fee and must
reapply in full. Any individual who fails to renew the certificate of
competency prior to December 31 st of the year following its
expiration shall thereby automatically have a certificate of
competency that is null and void.
To acquire a valid certificate from the county, the individual
must pay the then applicable full application fee in accordance with
the schedules of fees and schedules -- or fees and charges, and must
submit an entire new application.
If, as the date of the receipt by the county of the new
application, three years have passed since the date of the most recent
application -- the most recent examination that the individual passed
to acquire the former certificate, that individual must pass all then
applicable testing requirements.
So they're supposed to pass all the applicable testing
requirements, unless -- the retesting requirement, if it's a dormant
certificate, can be waived by staff if the applicant proves he or she
has been active in the trade in another jurisdiction, has been active as
an inspector or investigator in the trade, or for other valid reasons
that would render such retesting superfluous.
But the board should note that also, the board has the capacity to
waive testing requirements, should the applicant present adequate
proof that such retesting would be superfluous because of their
experience and knowledge.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Good. Thank you.
That's where I was headed. To me this seem superfluous. He's been
in the business for a long time, he's an acting electrician, he has
Page 10
May 21,2003
references from people I know at Collier Electric, and I think it's
superfluous.
But I would like to state for the record that this board does not
like to and typically does not waive testing requirements. We always
ask the applicant, or we try to ask the applicant to at least take the
test once. You've clearly done that, albeit a long time ago. So I would entertain a motion to that effect.
MR. LLOYD: I make a motion that we grant Mr. Anthony his
journeyman's license.
MR. JOSLIN: Joslin, second.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: We have a motion and a
second. Any further discussion? (No response.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: All in favor?
(Unanimous votes of ayes.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: All opposed?
(No response.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Okay, motion carries.
So your license will be reinstated.
Mr. Bartoe?
MR. BARTOE: I'm sorry?
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: What's the procedure
for reinstatement?
MR. BARTOE: Well, we have everything on file in the office,
except today I have your packet with me, sir. So come into the office
tomorrow and see the ladies in the office there, and they'll take care
of everything for you.
MR. ANTHONY: Okay.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Thank you.
MR. ANTHONY: I wonder if I might just make an observation.
You know, you'll probably take it back when I finish.
You know, I've been in the electrical trade for even before '66,
Page 11
May 21, 2003
in essence, and I know the purpose of a license board. And the
intentions are good. But I know a lot of people who have been in the
trade before me and since me that are still working in the trade. A
license is only as good as -- it has nothing to do with installing
installation systems. Honestly. And like I said, I'm here, I'm 60 years
old, my tenure in the electrical trade probably is somewhat limited.
But what I'm saying is, is that I would think that this board
should be trying to develop a system whereby the best qualified
people to install the electrical systems is allowed to do so, you know.
And I've worked on jobs where people with master's couldn't a bit
more install electrical systems than a first grader. And it's simply
because they don't have the experience. But if a person who has
worked in this trade for 15 or 20 years, who has built buildings -- I
don't know if you gentlemen's ever worked in the field. Because
people in the office cannot necessarily install electrical systems.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: I'm pretty sure every
contractor on this board's worked in the field.
MR. ANTHONY: Well, yeah, I know some people and I try to
talk to them and you know what they're doing right now, sir?
They're running jobs for companies. They don't have a license but
they have the expertise to do so.
And I remember when everything was grandfathered. I could
have grandfathered my master's, but I didn't see a need for me to
have a master's, as long as I was allowed to install systems.
And I just -- you know, like I say, it's probably superfluous in
the sense that it means anything, but some consideration ought to be
given to that thing.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: It does mean a lot, and
we understand that experience is a part of the license, and that's the
way the rules are written.
MR. BARIL: Mr. Anthony, I'd also like to say that part of the
licensing procedure is to also ensure that the business will be
Page 12
May 21, 2003
represented by a person who's going to be responsible for all aspects
of the business and not just the technical aspects in the field, but also
the insurance requirements, the payroll requirements and the business
requirements, including taxes and a lot of other aspects to running a
business. And that's an important aspect of licensing, as well as
being able to physically do the work.
MR. ANTHONY: I agree with what you said. And I don't think
a person like me should be allowed to own a company. I think you
should have a master's to own a company. But I'm talking about just
to work.
And I hope I didn't damage my license by --
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: No, sir. We appreciate
that.
MR. ANTHONY: -- saying that. I just thought of it as an
opportunity to speak. Thank you very much.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Thank you.
Okay, next on the list is Mr. Charles Belcher. Are you here?
Step up.
We're going to have you sworn in.
(Speaker was duly sworn.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Mr. Belcher, do you
want to explain just why you're here today?
MR. BELCHER: Yes. I'm applying right now for electrical
contracting license in Collier County. And after review of my
application, they had an item on my credit report that they said was
something they needed to look at. I've since got a letter that -- from
the distributor, stating that it was a mistake on their part putting it on
there, and I brought the letter with me, whoever wants to read it, the
board or--
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Mr. Bartoe, which line
item on this credit report is he referring to?
MR. BARTOE: I believe office staff has one circled there.
Page 13
May 21, 2003
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Okay.
MR. JOSLIN: Section 188.
MR. BARTOE: Mr. Neale, is that a copy of a letter that I just
received today? Peninsular Electric?
MR. NEALE: Yeah. And we need to get a copy of that to the
clerk, too.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: I'll pass this around.
So, Mr. Belcher, you're an acting electrician in several other
counties, it looks like, throughout the state? MR. BELCHER: That's correct.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: And so you're simply
applying for a license in Collier County --
MR. BELCHER: For Collier County.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: -- to work here?
MR. BELCHER: Yes, sir.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: There was also a
bankruptcy on your credit report, but that was over a decade ago.
MR. BELCHER: Thirteen years ago.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: I would assume that we
would look past that.
We'll let everybody read that letter regarding Peninsular
Electric.
MR. BARTOE: I believe that is the only thing office staff was
questioning is from Peninsular Electric, and there is some
explanation with that letter, after it gets passed around.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Mr. Baril, does that
letter satisfy you, based on what you -- MR. BARIL: Yes.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: So your payments are
current to Peninsular Electric?
MR. BELCHER: Yes. I have some job accounts set up with
them on several projects we're doing over in Palm Beach and
Page 14
May 21, 2003
Broward County right now. And she said when -- they were so busy
when this stuff was going through that they put all that stuff on there
and that she checked the box off, made a mistake, apologized to me
and said she had no problem sending a letter, and if anybody needed
to call and contact her directly, they could do that.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: We have passing test
grades also included in the package. We have letters of reference.
MR. BELCHER: At this time I'm trying to get grandfathered in
with the state. I've already got an application in to do that. I'm a
state certified minority contractor, and I'm getting bombarded from
everybody in the state right now, wanting me to do work for them.
So I'm trying to get my state license grandfathered in with that.
I've been a contractor for over six and a half years, and
specialize in commercial, industrial work, stuff like that.
I've got some folks over there at your water treatment plant over
there off Exit 101 right now, looking for my services to come in and
supplement an electrical contractor that's in there right now. So that's
basically why I'm over here.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: That's an important --
has everybody had a chance to read the letter?
MR. BARIL: Mr. Belcher, how many employees do you have?
MR. BELCHER: Currently right now nine. It goes up and
down, depending on job sizes and stuff. I mean, I've had as many as
20 working for me a couple years back, and then I average usually
around 12 to 15 on a regular basis.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: We're going to record
this letter with our minutes, if we can.
So as best I can tell, this appears to be a simple clerical error,
and I think we can move forward, unless anyone has another opinion.
MR. JOSLIN: I make a motion that we approve this
application.
MR. BARIL: Second, Baril.
Page 15

ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD:
second. Any further discussion? (No response.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD:
(Unanimous votes of ayes.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD:
(No response.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD:
Mr. Bartoe, again, tomorrow?
MR. BARTOE: I'm sorry?
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD:
paperwork?
MR. BARTOE:
this --
We have a motion and
All in favor?
Opposed?
Motion carries.
Tomorrow, pick up the
Were you normally going to be back over in
MR. BELCHER: I'll be back on Friday. I'll stop by Friday in
the office over there and bring a check for you and get everything
taken care of.
MR. BARTOE: Okay, thank you.
MR. BELCHER: Appreciate it, look forward to doing business
with you all over here.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Thank you.
MR. BARTOE: I really believe, Mr. Belcher, if office staff
would have had that letter a long time ago, you know, you probably
wouldn't have had to appear here.
MR. BELCHER: It's all right, because we kind of drug our feet
on that, too, because we've been busy negotiating a couple contracts
right now. And then it came up -- when it first came up on me like
that, and I was like, ilk (phonetic), so we had to end up getting them
to get a letter up to us quick on that. But I appreciate you all having
me here today. Thank you.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Anyone else out here
that needs to speak to us? No, okay.
Page 16
May 21, 2003
Any old business today?
(No response.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: I see that we have a few
people who's terms are expiring. Mine is included, Mr. Joslin and
Ms. Rodgers.
And Mr. Bartoe, do you know if we're filling these seats or how
that's progressing?
MR. BARTOE: Do I know--
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Have we -- I know
we've sent out requests to the general public to fill these three seats,
and I think we've all gotten renewal forms, and I just wondered what
the response was.
MR. BARTOE: What the response is?
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Yeah.
MR. BARTOE: I have no idea.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: Okay. Well, we all
have at least one more meeting before our term expires on June 30th.
MR. BARTOE: And I might add, at that meeting we do have a
public hearing scheduled. And at that meeting, I think we will be
discussing amending the ordinance to add low voltage license that we
used to have, because low volting (sic) has to get permits and
inspections now, and we're running into -- with our computer setup,
we're running into problems.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD: That's to be consistent
with the state requirements, right, Mr. Neale?
Okay, anything else?
(No response.)
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD:
Anything else? Motion to adjourn. Anyone.
MR. BARIL: So moved, Baril.
ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD:
MR. JOSLIN: Second.
Right.
Quick meeting.
Second?

ACTING CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD:
Thank you.
It's adjourned.
There being no further business for the good of the County, the
meeting was adjourned by order of the Vice Chair at 9:30 a.m.
