CLB Minutes 10/18/2023 October 18, 2023 1 MINUTES OF THE COLLIER COUNTY CONTRACTOR LICENSING BOARD MEETING October 18, 2023, Naples, Florida LET IT BE REMEMBERED that the Collier County Contractor Licensing Board, having conducted business herein, met on this date at 9:00 a.m. in REGULAR SESSION in Administration Building F, 3rd Floor, Collier County Government Center, Naples, Florida. MEMBERS: Todd Allen, Chairman Robert Meister Terry Jerulle Matthew Nolton Kyle Lantz Richard Joslin Elle Hunt Stephen Jaron ALSO PRESENT: Timothy Crotts, Contracting Licensing Supervisor Ronald Tomasko, Esq., Assistant Collier County Attorney Patrick Neale, Contractor Licensing Board Attorney Sandra Delgado, Operations Supervisor Any person who decides to appeal this decision of the Board will need a record of the proceedings and may need to ensure that a verbatim record of said proceedings is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which any appeal is to be made. October 18, 2023 2 1. Roll Call Quorum established. Robert Meister is running a few minutes late. 2. Additions or Deletions  Timothy Crotts: Remove under Old Business Item 9B at the request of the applicant (Luis G. Patino) and this will be rescheduled at a later date. 3. Approval of Agenda  Richard Joslin: Motion to approve agenda.  Elle Hunt: Seconded. All in favor – aye. (Carried unanimously, 7-0.) 4. Approval of Minutes  Matthew Nolton: Motion to approve agenda.  Stephen Jaron: Seconded. All in favor – aye. (Carried unanimously, 7-0.) 5. Public Comments  Terry Jerulle: Remark that he needed to leave at 11:00 AM. 6. Discussion 6A. Local License Renewal Update  Timothy Crotts: Staff wanted to update the Licensing Board to let you know where we are with the local renewals for this year. Our renewal season actually starts around July. We sent out notices to all the contractors we had currently in our system for local licenses. We sent that by e-mail and also by US mail as required by ordinance. Currently, the staff for the month of September has probably had one of the highest numbers of walk-ins for the month. We had 741 in the month of September to come in, which was averaging about 37 customers a day, and on average they've been taking in about 100 phone calls a day, so staff has been very busy. We sent out about 2900 renewal notices this year. So far, about 2180 have renewed, leaving about 720 that are in delinquent status. Delinquent status means that your license is still active, you're just delinquent in renewing, and you incur a late fee for the month of October, November and December. If you haven't renewed your license by the end of December 31, your license goes into suspended status. Last year at this time, we had about 3093 local licenses up for renewal and we had 885 that had gone into the delinquent status. So when you look at the numbers, we're about the same as we were last year. We had some that went from local to state certified and some may have decided not to renew, waiting to see what happens with the new House bill come July. 6B. Collier County Code of Ordinance Sec. 2-833 – Attendance Requirements  Timothy Crotts: I know the Board gets tired of me bringing this up every year, but I want to make sure that we go over it. Under this ordinance, it is required that all advisory Board members have to attend at least 50% of all scheduled Board October 18, 2023 3 meetings. If you fall under the 50% rule, then you have deemed to submit your resignation from the Board. You can have no more than two unapproved absences concurrent with each other. So if you have two that have not been approved by the chair as absent, then it would be up to the chair to address that with the County staff. And in order to be present for a meeting, you have to attend at least 75% of that meeting. Again, this is just information to bring to the Board as we are starting our new fiscal year for October. 6C. Change May CLB Meeting Date (Monday, May 13, 2024)  Timothy Crotts: The May meeting for the Contractor Licensing Board will be held on Monday, May 13, at 9:00 AM. 7. Reports  None.  Robert Meister arrived at 9:08 AM. 8. New Business 8A. Orders of the Board (3 items)  Kyle Lantz: Motion that the Chairman signs the orders of the Board.  Richard Joslin: Seconded All in favor – aye. (Carried unanimously, 8-0.) 8B. BRYAN G. HUBBARD: REVIEW OF EXPERIENCE, PAINTING CONTRACTOR, SWFL EXECUTIVE SERVICES LLC (DBA) THAT 1 PAINTER NAPLES  Bryan Hubbard: Sworn testimony given.  Timothy Crotts: Mr. Hubbard has submitted an application for the issuance of a local license as a painting contractor, which requires 24 months experience. As part of the application process for the issuance of this license, Mr. Hubbard was required to submit documentation showing his experience. As part of the review process by staff, Mr. Hubbard submitted verification showing that he has worked for a company, ASGI out of Denver, Colorado, and is reported that Mr. Hubbard worked for this company from 2005 to 2012, with the scope of work being prepping surfaces for painting, applying primers, and base paint. There were additional letters submitted which have been included in your packet. In a phone call interview with Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Hubbard explained that the vast majority of his experience has been like a maintenance specialist whose duties included prepping, painting of commercial style interiors and piping as required. Mr. Hubbard has stated that he has little to no experience in the painting of residential or condominium interior or exteriors including the painting and prepping of stucco. Based on this information received, it is staff opinion that Mr. Hubbard does not meet the minimum requirements as set forth in ordinance 20646 as it relates to experience under section 1.6.3.30 as a painting contractor. Because Mr. Hubbard does not meet the qualifications needed for the issuance of the painting license, Mr. Hubbard is here today and brought in front of the Board under section 2.5.2 referral of the applicant to the Contractor Licensing Board for decision, and Mr. Hubbard is here today to answer your questions regarding his experience. October 18, 2023 4  Bryan Hubbard: While most of my experience does stem from the industrial maintenance background, a lot of the foundational elements still remain the same. Surface preparation is an integral part of it taking into all the environmental factors such as humidity and dry times and things like that, whether it's maintenance or interior or exterior of somebody's home, the preparation products, application processes, quality control and quality of work remain the same.  Todd Allen: Have you ever painted a residential home with stucco?  Bryan Hubbard: I have not. We were responsible for commercial buildings on a location. It was a 54 acre site and it housed two office buildings, four storage buildings. During my tenure there, we were responsible when coatings failed. We would redo them, replace them as folks would move out of offices, change offices, break rooms and shop floors would get worn and start to show wear and tear. We would strip them and color changes made based off of people's preference. About 80% of the work was interior. We also were in charge of 32 miles of pipeline with below and above grade, some being in underground vaults, some being housed in pump rooms and things of that nature. We were responsible for fire suppression systems, piping, various conduits and things of that nature. I would like to focus on industrial construction with at least 25 to 40% residential.  Terry Jerulle: How long does it take for stucco to cure?  Bryan Hubbard: You're not going to want to apply any paint on the stucco prior to 30 days. You need at least seven days before you would even put on primer. There are specialized primers for stucco which you would apply again after at least seven days of dry time to prevent the adhering process of the stucco from damaging the coating that you put over it.  Terry Jerulle: How do you know that?  Bryan Hubbard: Being in the field, plus I've also undergone training with the military through my company. The company I'm starting now is actually through a franchise, so I've gone through the franchises training as well. So that's how I have acquired that knowledge.  Terry Jerulle: Have you ever heard the term vapor barrier? And vapor barrier changes depending on your location. Are you aware of that? And you said underground piping, so that leads me to believe it is more of a waterproofing type of coating rather than paint. What was your preparation for that?  Bryan Hubbard: Mostly it was preparation with like black beauty – getting it down to bare metal making sure it's degreased and then applying the product.  Stephen Jaron: The franchise part of your business is the company that's called That 1 Painter. And they provide training for you or are they like a nationwide franchise?  Bryan Hubbard: They are. They provide support. They come in and do weekly training meetings with us. Our management support would come and do quarterly check-ins. They send somebody from corporate out here to spend a couple days with us, review our processes, they'll follow up with customers after the fact, after October 18, 2023 5 we've had those touch points with them to make sure that we're following all of the procedures in the manuals and whatnot to make sure that the quality and customer satisfaction is there.  Todd Allen: Does the franchise have policies and procedures and how you apply coatings? Or are you left to your own experience?  Bryan Hubbard: They have an outline mainly around prep work. So the preparation of surfaces and ensuring things that aren't supposed to get paint on them don't. They do provide training as to application, but they don't get so pigeonholed on the actual processes because a lot of it comes to be preference. Certain people have preferences on paint brands, paint brushes or certain sprayers. They (franchise) don't get too deep into the weeds but want to make sure that you have the experience to do the quality control and to do the preparation to make sure that you know you're not damaging or hurting people's properties.  Terry Jerulle: Mr. Hubbard, I'm a general contractor and building custom homes. Sometimes we put expensive mahogany doors on the entry door. What would you recommend that we do on the mahogany door? It’s unfinished and we want to maintain the current look.  Bryan Hubbard: I would take the door off, sand it down lightly to ensure that it's smooth. We would then put a wood sealer on it. Then seal it with a proper sealer, something that would encapsulate the door to prevent the intrusion of moisture and the growth of mildew.  Matthew Nolton: I deal a lot in coatings and failures, and if Mr. Hubbard has experience in industrial and metals and corrosion and everything that he said, that's way more sophisticated than painting a simple house. He has a lot of knowledge he won't even be using to paint houses.  Matthew Nolton: I make a motion that we approve him for licensing waiving the experience requirement.  Terry Jerulle: Seconded. Mr. Hubbard, there are certain things that give me a good comfort level and I agree with what Mr. Nolton said. There are just certain things about Florida that you are unaware of and I just pointed out two. You need to investigate those two things and if you want to get with me afterwards or somebody else, I think it would behoove you. All in favor – aye. (Carried unanimously, 8-0.) 8C. CIRILO PANTOJA RUIZ: REVIEW OF CREDIT, PAVING BLOCK CONTRACTOR, SW PAVERZZ LLC  Cirilo Ruiz: Sworn testimony given.  Timothy Crotts: Mr. Ruiz has submitted an application for the issuance of a paving block contractor license, which requires a minimum credit score of 660. As part of the application process under the Collier County Ordinance 20646 section 2.3.9, Mr. Ruiz was required to submit a personal and business credit report. His credit report was reviewed and appears not to meet the financial responsibility as set forth in section 2.5.1, Subsection E, the qualifier or applicant meets the requirement for financial responsibility as set forth in Rule 61G4- 15.006 of the State of Florida. A review of the personal credit report submitted by October 18, 2023 6 Mr. Ruiz shows the following areas of concern. His credit report submitted shows a credit score of 609. The credit report was also showing, while there appears to be no collections or charge offs, Mr. Ruiz’ credit score does show a high credit usage of 81% and late payments on his credit card usage. Based upon the information received, Mr. Ruiz does not meet the requirements as set forth in section 20646 as it relates to financial responsibility and Mr. Ruiz is being referred to the Board under section 2.5.2 referral the application to the Contractor Licensing Board for decision and he is here today to answer your questions.  Todd Allen: Does the staff have a recommendation on this?  Timothy Crotts: Staff would recommend that the issuance of the license be granted with a 12 month probationary period, that Mr. Ruiz be required to submit to staff a new credit report before the end of the probationary period, showing a credit score of at least 660 and no additional credit issues. Failure to meet these requirements shall require Mr. Ruiz to appear back before the Board for review and possible disciplinary action as deemed necessary by the Board. If at any time during the probationary period, Mr. Ruiz can show a credit score of at least 660 and no additional credit issues, the probationary period would be automatically removed by staff.  Todd Allen: I’ll make that motion.  Terry Jerulle: Mr. Ruiz, do you understand and do you think you could fulfill those obligations? (Yes.)  Terry Jerulle: Seconds the motion. All in favor – aye. (Carried unanimously, 8-0.) 8D. RAUL IRIGOYEN: REVIEW OF CREDIT, CABINET INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR (REINSTATEMENT), AAH ALL ABOUT HOMES, INC.  Raul Irigoyen: Sworn testimony given.  Timothy Crotts: The applicant has submitted a reinstatement application for the issuance of cabinet install contractor, which requires a minimum credit score of 660 and financial responsibility. As part of the application process under Collier County Ordinance 20646, Section 2.3.9, the applicant was required to submit a personal and business credit report. The applicant’s business credit report was reviewed and appears not to meet the financial responsibility as set forth in section 2.5.1, section D, qualifier applicant meets the financial responsibility as set forth in Rule 61G4-15.006 of the State of Florida. A review of the business credit report submitted by the applicant shows the following areas of concerns. A collection in the amount of $22,482 by Atlas Global Trade Solutions dated July of 2023. It is noted that this amount is under dispute. A tax lien in the amount of $10,792 by the State of Florida, which has been filed in the Collier County Circuit Court, dated July 18 of 2023. A tax lien in the amount of $680 by the State of Florida filed with the Collier County Circuit Court dated July 18 of 2023. The total amount of the tax lien by the State of Florida is $11,472. Based upon the information received, the applicant does not meet the minimum requirements set forth in ordinance 20646 as it relates to financial responsibility and the applicant is being referred to the Board under section 2.5.2 referral the application to the October 18, 2023 7 Contractor Licensing Board for decision and the applicant is here today to answer your questions.  Todd Allen: Can you tell us what the Atlas Global Trade Solutions is?  Raul Irigoyen: That's one of the suppliers I use to buy my supplies for my company. I fell sick at the beginning of the year for about four months and wasn't able to pay the full amount. I have a copy of a couple emails showing that we came to an agreement to make monthly payments until I get better.  Todd Allen: Can we see those? So you’re not disputing that you owe this $22,482 and for the lien as well?  Raul Irigoyen: I owe it. The letter from the Department of Revenue shows there was a miscommunication between my accountant and the Florida Department of Revenue.  Todd Allen: It looks like there were two liens – one for $680 and another for $10,792. The Florida Department of Revenue is showing paid in full and has a warrant number ending in 58706. And the one for $680 has a document number ending in 58707. So you may want to check into that. The email he has provided is from a law firm representing the creditor authorizing monthly payments of $250 to be made on the 10th of each month.  Further discussion ensued regarding the applicant’s health (lung) problems; the misunderstanding with the accountant renewing the license under tax exempt; the Department of Revenue stepping in saying he owed when he actually paid taxes but in his line of work does not need to pay Use tax. The applicant is also working with the insurance company with regard to Atlas. There are no unsatisfied customers.  Todd Allen: Mr. Crotts, do you have a recommendation?  Timothy Crotts: Staff would recommend that the license be issued and granted on a 12 month probationary period; that within 90 days the applicant submits to staff a payment plan approved by the State of Florida for the remaining outstanding tax liens or show that the tax lien has been paid in full; that within 90 days the applicant submit to staff a written updated status report on the disputed amount of $22,482; and that an approved plan with Atlas Global Trade Solutions has been done – it appears that he has met that criteria; that within six months the applicant submit an updated business credit report showing that any payment plan with the State of Florida is current and there are no further credit issues; and that he shows that the payment plan currently in effect with Atlas Global Trade Solutions is current and there are no other credit issues; that within 12 months the applicant submit an updated business credit report showing that all tax liens have been paid in full and there are no other credit issues; and that if in fact the payments have been paid in full or you are still within the payment plan for the Global Atlas Trade Solutions. Failure to comply with this order shall require that the applicant appear back before the Board and disciplinary action be appropriate by the CLB.  Matthew Nolton: I make a motion adopting the county’s recommendation.  Richard Joslin: Seconded. All in favor – aye. (Carried unanimously, 8-0.) October 18, 2023 8 8E. JUAN M. MACIEL: REVIEW OF CREDIT; LANDSCAPING CONTRACTOR; FTL FAMILIA TREE AND LANDSCAPE, INC.  Juan Maciel: Sworn testimony given.  Timothy Crotts: The applicant has submitted a name change application for the issuance of a landscape contractor license. This requires a minimum credit score of 660 as part of the application process. Under Collier County Ordinance 20646, Section 2.3.9, the applicant is required to submit a personal and business credit report. The applicant’s personal credit report was reviewed and appears not to meet the financial responsibility as set forth in section 2.5.1, subsection D, the applicant or qualifier meets the requirement of financial responsibility as set forth in Rule 61G4-15.006 of the State of Florida. A review of the personal credit report submitted by the applicant shows the following area of concerns: Credit report shows a credit score of 639; the credit report also shows the following, while there appears to be no collections or charge offs, the applicant’s credit profile does show a high credit usage; recent delinquent on credit accounts; five accounts which were closed by the granter, however, these accounts do show a zero balance. Based upon the information received, the applicant does not meet the minimum requirements as set forth in Ordinance 20646 as it relates to financial responsibility and the applicant is being referred to the Board under section 2.5.2 referral of the application to the Contractor Licensing Board for decision and the applicant is here to answer your questions.  Elle Hunt: So this is just a name change that triggered all of this. There are no complaints filed against this contractor.  Timothy Crotts: Correct. We require this because we want to make sure the applicant is not coming in to change the name of his company to get out of any financial requirements that are under the old company. We did not see any of that. The applicant has a restricted license because he is not allowed to do irrigation when the new ordinance was rewritten; it used to be an unlimited landscape and then they broke out the irrigation. That's what makes it restricted. Recommendation is that the issuance of the license be granted with a 12 month probationary period; that the applicant be required to submit to staff at the end of the probationary period a credit score showing at least 660 and no additional credit issues. Failure to meet these requirements shall require the applicant to appear before the Board for review and possible disciplinary action as deemed by the Board. At any time during the probationary period, if the applicant can show a credit score of at least 660 and no additional credit issues, the probationary period will automatically be removed by staff.  Richard Joslin: On page 118, I see something that's been struck out – tree restricted.  Timothy Crotts: Under the landscape you are also licensed to do tree trimming and removal.  Todd Allen: What are your plans to increase this credit score over the next 60-90 days? October 18, 2023 9  Juan Maciel: Just make over payments on my credit cards. They're personal credit cards I was using and I was making the minimum payment required. With this license, I can hopefully gain more funds and do more payments. I am merging companies with my father; he is doing lawn maintenance, so we were going to change his company name to this new company name.  Todd Allen: I make a motion to adopt the County’s recommendations.  Elle Hunt: I second the motion. All in favor – aye. (Carried unanimously, 8-0.) 8F. SONNY L. ROMAN: REVIEW OF CREDIT, SWIMMING POOL/SPA SERVICING CONTRACTOR, SONNY THE POOL GUY CORP.  Sonny Roman: Sworn testimony given.  Timothy Crotts: The applicant has submitted an application for the issuance of a swimming pool, spa and servicing contractor license, which requires a minimum credit score of 660.

A review of the personal credit report submitted by the applicant shows the following areas of concern: The applicant’s personal credit report shows a credit score of 629; the credit report did show a past due amount of $499 from Capital One credit card, however, when this was brought to the applicant’s attention during a phone call interview, that amount was paid in full and has been verified by staff.
