AGENDA ITEM #4 INVESTIGATION REPORTS

Case 09-03 Failure to report Disciplinary Action – Humphreys discussed the progress of the Investigative Committee appointed to work on this case. Humphreys reported that the Committee, through the Board’s Staff Attorney, has been unsuccessful in reaching an agreement with the parties involved; and therefore, at this time the Committee recommends moving to a formal hearing with a hearing examiner. Kolden will look into securing a meeting room in which to conduct the hearing that will be large enough to accommodate the number of people anticipated to be in attendance. Humphreys reported that the Board’s Staff Attorney will be unavailable during this time period; and therefore the Committee respectfully requests that the Board authorize the hiring of outside legal counsel to represent the Board in this case.

Humphreys stated that the same licensee is involved in both Case 09-03 and Case 09-07, and the same Investigative

Committee had been appointed to work on both cases. Therefore, the Investigative Committee Report and recommendations were identical for both cases.

MOTION: By Jans, seconded by Shafai, to hire outside legal counsel to represent the Board regarding Case 09-03 and Case 09-07.

ACTION: 6-0 AYE (Bacon, Hazard, Jans, Olson, Shafai, Stafford) Neugebauer abstained. Case 09-06 Competency and Professional Conduct – Discussion by Humphreys and Shafai. The Investigative

Committee has determined that this case has merits; and therefore requests that the Board make a motion to authorize the Executive Director and Investigative Committee to draft a consent order with licensee for possible settlement in this Case. In the event that a settlement is not reached, the Investigative Committee would then request a formal hearing.

MOTION: By Neugebauer, seconded by Stafford, to authorize the Executive Director and Investigative Committee to draft a consent order with licensee.
