Board hears updates on pending contractor cases; trial dates not set for several defendants
Summary
Board staff reported that several disciplinary or court cases involving contractors are pending; one case is set for trial later this month while others have no trial date yet or are awaiting victim documentation.
During the Oct. 26 meeting the Evansville City Contractor Licensing Board received status updates on pending enforcement matters involving several individuals on the board's docket.
Board staff reported that David Price's case is set for trial at the end of the month. Eric Morgan's case is "proceeding," but staff said no trial date has been set yet. Ricky Puckett's case has been filed but no court date is scheduled, and Puckett has multiple city cases pending, staff said. The board also referenced cases involving Hans Hoag and John Schamo and said a trial date had not been set for rooftop construction-related matters. The transcript records that staff was unable to confirm convictions or outcomes for some names and that, in at least one instance, staff had difficulty obtaining paperwork from a victim necessary to advance a prosecution.
The board did not take disciplinary action during the meeting; the item reported case statuses and future court scheduling. Staff did not provide additional timelines for when unresolved cases would return to the board for formal action.
The remarks appear in the meeting after the approvals docket; they were delivered as a status update rather than as a motion or vote.
