PRESENT: Carla Borchardt, Paul Engbrecht, Bob Stahl, Terry Reick, Clint Graybill, Gale Walker, Dr. Lindbloom, Jason Petik, Marilyn Kinsman, and Joyce Vos.

The meeting was called to order at 1:02pm.  A quorum was recognized.

M/S/P Graybill/Reick to offer two options to the SD licensees licensed by, and working in, Iowa to either go Inactive or let their license expire due to the non-compliance of their continuing education requirement.

During discussion Walker asked if the Board would give them a special exception this time?  Engbrecht asked if the Board could make an exception.  Staff replied that they can to Administrative Rules but not to Laws, and CE is in the Rules.

M/S/P Walker/Stahl to amend the motion and make an exception for Lee Larson, Layne Gross, Gary Parry, and Peter Thoreen this time.  The amendment was opposed by Graybill.  The original motion with the amendment passed, with opposition by Graybill.

M/S/P Borchardt/Lindbloom to grant an exception to Doug Ekeren for his continuing education non-compliance this time.

Staff will email the names of the other licensees not renewed yet to Stahl to determine whether they’re operating facilities without a valid license.

Staff will prepare draft Administrative Rules pertaining to continuing education for review at the next board meeting.

Staff will email a datefinder to select the next meeting date in Pierre between March 16th and 30th.
