Board members requested
agenda items 1E-6, 1E-8 and 1F-8 be pulled from the consent agenda.
Motion: Tindall moved to approve the
consent agenda, items 1A through 1E-5, 1E-7 and 1E-9 though 1F-7. Motion seconded by Fermoile.
Vote: All in
favor. Motion passes.
AGENDA
ITEM 1E-6 Firm name approval request:
AECP Architecture, Inc.
Motion: Parker
moved to approve the firm name “AECP Architecture, Inc.” Motion
seconded by Fermoile.
Henry asked if an architecture firm offering engineering services is required to have an engineer as a principal. Spaulding said that is not a requirement because architects are exempt from NRS 625. Similarly, an engineering firm can offer architectural services without an architect as principal because engineers are exempt from NRS 623. However, architects cannot use the title “engineer,” and engineers cannot use the title “architect.”
Vote: All in
favor. Motion passes.
AGENDA
ITEM 1E-8 Firm name approval request:
Nelco Architecture and Engineering, P.C.
Motion: Henry
moved to approve the firm name “Nelco Architecture and Engineering, P.C.” Motion
seconded by Fermoile.
Henry said his question was answered under the previous item.
Vote: All in
favor. Motion passes.
AGENDA
ITEM 1F-8 Firm registration approval request:
HFAI Nevada LLC
Motion: Tindall moved to approve the firm
registration “HFAI
Nevada LLC.” Motion seconded by Oppenheimer Gore.
Board members expressed
concern that HF stands for “Howard Field,” who is not a Nevada registrant. They said it was misleading to the
public. Board members said they wanted
to discuss the application with the registrant, Gerald Garapich, if he was
available, or have staff further research the issue.
Vote: Klai and Henry recused themselves. All others opposed. Motion fails.
Motion: Erny moved to table the item. Motion seconded by Parker.
Vote: Klai
and Henry recused themselves. All others in favor.
Motion passes.

Vote: All in
favor. Motion passes.
Garlock asked if the new registrants had any
comments about the registration process.
Some new architect registrants said that the process with NCARB was
lengthy, especially in this “day and age.”
One new architect said his process was quick; he took the last exam in
July and was now registered in August.
Board members said they were pleased to see such large group of people
attending to support the new registrants.
AGENDA ITEM 2.5 Discussion
and possible decision regarding Kimberly Daoust’s application for
registered
interior designer registration pursuant to NRS 623.192(1)(d)(3)
Spaulding stated that the
committee asked Ms. Daoust to submit additional information after its first
review. Ms. Daoust complied and the
committee is recommending the board approve her application.
Ms. Daoust answered board
member questions. She said that it was
challenging getting information from her school. She said that referencing items back and forth was very time
consuming.
Motion: Erny moved to
approve Kimberly Daoust’s application for registered interior designer
registration. Motion seconded by Fermoile.
Vote: All in
favor. Motion passes.
AGENDA
ITEM 3 Discussion and
possible decision regarding setting up town hall meetings in Reno
and Las Vegas to discuss
board-proposed bill draft requests for the 2009
Legislative Session
Spaulding
said that the next board meeting, originally scheduled for October 15 in Reno,
would now be in Las Vegas because of the possibility of formal disciplinary
hearings. She said it might also be a
two-day meeting. Board members said if
a second day is added, it should be October 14.
Board
members said the town hall meeting in Las Vegas should be scheduled for October
14. The Reno town hall meeting will be
scheduled for late-October, dependent upon northern board members’ schedules.
AGENDA ITEM 4 Discussion
and possible decision regarding Secretary of State and County Clerk
firm
name questions
Spaulding
reminded board members that during the last legislative session, the board
amended the Secretary of State’s statute to require that the Secretary of State
check with this board prior to allowing a firm to incorporate in the state if
the firm name includes any derivative of the terms architecture, registered
interior design or residential design.
She said that staff is seeing some firms using the term architecture, that
are clearly not architecture firms, and are requesting a waiver from the
board. As an example, she showed the
board a letter from “TFN Architectural Signage Inc.” This firm is a sign contractor.
Board
members said that this firm name was not a problem, as it was clearly not
offering architectural services. Board
members said that the Spaulding should use her judgment in future cases and it
was not necessary to bring such firm names to the board.
AGENDA ITEM 5 Discussion
and possible decision regarding amending NAC 623.840
Spaulding said this was
discussed in 2004, but a resolution was never reached. She said that staff does not have a clear
interpretation of the phrases “contractually independent relationship” and “a
registered interior designer shall not collaborate on a project with persons
from more than two professional disciplines unless a registered architect
coordinates the project.”
Garlock formed a committee
to research where the problems are, how it is being interpreted and how things
are happening in practice. The
committee includes Erny, Fermoile, Garlock and Parker.
Motion: Parker moved
form a committee to discuss the issue.
Motion seconded by Erny.
Vote: Erny, Parker,
Klai, Oppeheimer. Henry and Tindall opposed. Motion passes.
AGENDA ITEM 6A-6 Case No.
08-038N – In the matter of William Poss
Garlock called this item
first, as requested by Lars Evensen, attorney for the respondent.
The respondent is alleged to
have violated NRS 623.360(1)(a)(b)(c) by holding himself out as being qualified
to practice architecture, and by engaging in the practice of architecture, for
a multi-unit condominium project located in Stateline, Nevada, without having a
certificate of registration issued by the board.
During the investigation of
a related case it was discovered that the respondent had been involved in the
323 Residences project in Stateline, Nevada. Further investigation revealed
that the respondent performed a site visit, met with the client, and agreed to
provide services that fall under the practice of architecture. Additionally, the respondent engaged in the
practice of architecture by preparing preliminary plans and renderings without
having a certificate of registration issued by the board.
The respondent was sent a
Notice of Charges concerning this project and a letter of response was
received. The respondent's case was
discussed with Chief Investigator Ruark and the decision was made to offer the
respondent an opportunity to settle this issue informally rather than face a
disciplinary hearing before the board.
A settlement agreement was negotiated incorporating a No Contest Clause,
an Effect on Licensure Clause, an administrative penalty of $5,000 and
investigative costs in the amount of $1,500.
Staff recommends approval of the settlement agreement.
Motion: Klai moved
to approve the settlement agreement.
Motion seconded by Tindall.
Vote: All in
favor. Motion passes.
AGENDA ITEM 6A-1 Case No.
08-005R – In the matter of Phillip Warde
The respondent is alleged to
have violated NRS 623.360(1)(a) by holding himself out as being qualified to
practice architecture by visiting the pastor of a church in Boulder City,
Nevada and discussing a new building project prior to receiving his certificate
of registration.
Staff received a call from
the Boulder City Building Official regarding a set of plans that had been
submitted without a registrant’s seal.
Upon reviewing the plans it was discovered that the respondent’s title
block was on the plans but he had not sealed them. After speaking to the pastor of the church and the respondent, it
was revealed that the respondent had visited the pastor, discussed the project
and reviewed the plans prior to his obtaining his certificate of
registration. Additionally, the
respondent had the church pay for his Nevada registration as part of his
agreement with them to complete the project.
The respondent was sent a
Notice of Charges concerning this project and a letter of response was
received. The respondent's case was
discussed with Chief Investigator Ruark and the decision was made to offer the
respondent an opportunity to settle this issue informally rather than face a
disciplinary hearing before the board.
A settlement agreement was negotiated incorporating a No Contest Clause,
restitution to be made directly to the church in the amount of $570, an
administrative penalty of $1,000 and investigative costs in the amount of
$1,800. Staff recommends approval of
the settlement agreement.
Motion: Fermoile
moved to approve the settlement agreement.
Motion seconded by Erny.
Vote: All in
favor. Motion passes.
AGENDA ITEM 6A-2 Case No.
08-007N – In the matter of Henry Onochie
The respondent is alleged to
have violated NRS 623.360(1)(a)(b) by holding himself out as being qualified to
practice architecture by meeting with the church bishop, giving a presentation
and drafting a contract to provide architectural services, without having a
certificate of registration issued by the board.
Staff received an anonymous
complaint that the respondent had been chosen to perform services that fall
under the practice of architecture for the Greater New Jerusalem Missionary
Baptist Church in Nevada. Further
investigation revealed that the respondent had visited the bishop and given a
Power Point presentation of his qualifications. The respondent subsequently drafted an agreement to provide
architectural services, which he submitted to the church prior to obtaining his
certificate of registration.
The respondent was sent a
Notice of Charges concerning this project and a letter of response was
received. The respondent's case was
discussed with Chief Investigator Ruark and the decision was made to offer the
respondent an opportunity to settle this issue informally rather than face a
disciplinary hearing before the board.
A settlement agreement was negotiated incorporating a Guilt Clause, an
administrative penalty of $3,000 and investigative costs in the amount of
$2,000. Staff recommends approval of
the settlement agreement.
Board members discussed the
need to send and educational letter to church groups. Ruark said staff was already looking into how to obtain an
electronic list of addresses.
Motion: Tindall
moved to approve the settlement agreement.
Motion seconded by Henry.
Vote: All in
favor. Motion passes.
AGENDA ITEM 6A-3 Case No.
08-014R – In the matter of Dale Heinrich
The respondent is alleged to
have violated NRS 623.185(2), NRS 623.270(1)(c)(f) and Rule of Conduct 5.5 by
not applying the technical knowledge and skill ordinarily applied by architects
of good standing, not taking responsibility for plans he prepared, and by
making false and misleading statements to board staff.
During the investigation of
a related complaint, staff discovered information showing that the respondent
had completed plans for a home addition and a commercial project. The respondent completed these plans for a
general contractor, as an independent contractor, without sealing them or
placing them on his title block.
Additionally, he made false and/or misleading statements to board staff
about his employment status with the contactor.
The respondent was sent a
Notice of Charges concerning this project and a letter of response was
received. The respondent's case was
discussed with Chief Investigator Ruark and the decision was made to offer the
respondent an opportunity to settle this issue informally rather than face a
disciplinary hearing before the board.
A settlement agreement was negotiated incorporating a Guilt Clause, a
requirement to complete and pass the Registration Quiz at 100 percent within 30
days of the board-approved settlement agreement, restitution directly to the
homeowner in the amount of $1,000, and investigative costs in the amount of
$2,000. Staff recommends approval of
the settlement agreement.
Motion: Erny moved
to approve the settlement agreement.
Motion seconded by Oppenheimer Gore.
Vote: Parker
recused himself. All others in
favor. Motion passes.
AGENDA ITEM 6A-4 Case No.
08-017N – In the matter of Steve Gunderson
The respondent is alleged to
have violated NRS 623.360(1)(a)(b)(c) by holding himself out as being qualified
to provide registered interior design services for three commercial projects,
and by engaging in the practice of registered interior design for a restaurant
located in northern Nevada, without having a certificate of registration issued
by the board.
Staff located information in
Nevada Home Magazine that the respondent had created the interior design
for The Chocolate Bar, Buenos Grill and Whispering Vine Wine Shop located in
Reno, Nevada. A review of the portfolio
page on the respondent’s website showed photographs of The Chocolate Bar. Further investigation confirmed that the
respondent had prepared the preliminary drawings and called out the furniture,
fixtures and equipment for The Chocolate Bar.
The respondent was sent a
Notice of Investigation concerning this project and a letter of response was
received. The respondent's case was
discussed with Chief Investigator Ruark and the decision was made to offer the
respondent an opportunity to settle this issue informally rather than face a
disciplinary hearing before the board.
A settlement agreement was negotiated incorporating a Guilt Clause, an
administrative penalty of $3,500 and investigative costs in the amount of
$1,200. Staff recommends approval of
the settlement agreement.
Motion: Klai moved
to approve the settlement agreement.
Motion seconded by Tindall.
Vote: Fermoile
recused herself. All others in
favor. Motion passes.
AGENDA ITEM 6A-5 Case No.
08-019N – In the matter of Rodney Friedman
The respondent is alleged to
have violated NRS 623.360(1)(a)(b) by holding himself out as being qualified to
practice architecture when he submitted a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) to
the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), without having a certificate of
registration issued by the board.
Staff received a call from
NDOT inquiring if Fisher Friedman Associates was an approved architectural firm
in Nevada as they had submitted an SOQ to be on NDOT’s pre-qualified firms list. A review of the SOQ revealed both completed
and uncompleted projects in Nevada.
Further investigation revealed that Rodney Friedman and his wife held
100 percent ownership of the firm, but neither was registered in Nevada. Additional investigation revealed an
employee by the name of Mark Steppan was a registered architect in Nevada. A review of Mr. Steppan’s registration form
revealed that he would practice independently in Nevada.
The respondent was sent a
Notice of Charges concerning this project and a letter of response was
received. The respondent's case was
discussed with Chief Investigator Ruark and the decision was made to offer the
respondent an opportunity to settle this issue informally rather than face a
disciplinary hearing before the board.
A settlement agreement was negotiated incorporating a Guilt Clause, an
administrative penalty of $3,000 and investigative costs in the amount of
$2,000. Staff recommends approval of
the settlement agreement.
Motion: Erny moved

AGENDA ITEM 7 Review and
possible approval of LCB draft continuing education regulation; set
date
for workshop and public hearing
Spaulding
said the workshop and public hearing should be scheduled for the next board
meeting. Board members agreed. Spaulding said the workshop will be held on
October 14 and the public hearing on October 15.
Spaulding
said the draft regulation, as written by LCB, is in the agenda packet. She said that LCB has reorganized and
rewritten the regulation drafted by the board to accommodate LCB format. She said that she compared it to the
board-drafted regulation and found instances where some information was missing
or could possibly be interpreted incorrectly.
Spaulding
and board members read through LCB-drafted regulation and compared it to the
board-drafted regulation. Board members
said that the required code-related CEUs can be earned in activities that are
part of the regular day-to-day business activities of the registrant. As an example, board members said that
code-research completed for a project can be counted as self-directed,
code-related CEUs.
Additionally,
minor changes were suggested and board members directed Spaulding to
communicate these changes to LCB.
Motion: Erny moved
to approve the LCB draft continuing education regulation, as amended by today’s
discussion. Motion seconded by Parker.

report regarding NCIRC meeting held on July 23, 2008 and
discussion
and decision regarding changes to Blue Book for 2009 edition
Spaulding said the last
NCIRC meeting was held July 23.
Publication of the 2009 Blue Book is slated for January
2009. She said there are slight
modifications from what the board saw at the last board meeting. She said FAQ A-4 was changed from the
board’s recommended verbiage to change the phrase “supplemental changes” to
“changes or modifications” because the term “supplemental” meant different
things to different people. Spaulding
said that she needs to talk to the Engineer’s Board and Contractor’s Board, who
did not have representatives at the July meeting, about a couple more issues
before the document can be finalized.
Board members said they want
a question added to the FAQ covering when a registrant can and cannot withdraw
as a design professional of record, as outlined in the recent notice. They said they want it added even if this
board’s position differs from the Engineer’s Board position.
