Board hears petition from James Agpalasin seeking early termination of probation; record submitted
Summary
James Agpalasin testified in support of a petition to modify or terminate probation imposed in 2016. The board received documents including character letters, continuing-education certificates and an expungement order; the record was closed and the matter taken under submission.
The Structural Pest Control Board conducted a public petition hearing on July 26 for James Burn Marty Agpalasin, who sought modification or early termination of probation imposed in a 2016 disciplinary decision.
Deputy Attorney General Melissa Tyner presented the petition packet as an exhibit. Tyner summarized the history: the board's May 4, 2016 decision placed petitioner FR license 51615 on three years' probation with terms and conditions. Tyner reported convictions in 2012 for grand theft (Penal Code section 487) and in 2006 for burglary (Penal Code section 460(b)), and said the petitioner later submitted an expungement order and documents showing compliance with probation. The packet included character-reference letters from petitioner’s employer (Ecolab), continuing-education certificates and an academic transcript.
Agpalasin testified that he has completed steps required under probation, that both convictions were the product of a troubled period in his life and that he has since sought stability through employment and education. He described current duties with Ecolab — supporting the night team and some administrative tasks — and said he is taking courses at Solano Community College toward a business degree. He said he wants the early termination to advance within his company and to reduce the administrative burden of quarterly probation monitoring.
Board members questioned Agpalasin about his convictions, whether he disclosed them in the initial license application (he disclosed the 2012 conviction but not the 2006 conviction), expungement documentation (the packet contains an expungement order), and about on-the-job responsibilities and supervision of licensed staff. Members also asked about community service and personal supports; Agpalasin said he has cut ties with people who were negative influences and that he is focused on family and school.
The board admitted the petition materials and a two-page performance-review document submitted by Agpalasin as an exhibit. After questioning by counsel and board members, the presiding judge closed the record and the matter was submitted for decision. No public decision was announced.
