Evansville licensing board approves multiple journeyman and continuing-education requests; several apprentice and master applications tabled
Summary
The Evansville Licensing Board approved a slate of journeyman and continuing-education requests, voted to table apprentice applications pending verification of IEC enrollment, and delayed one master application pending correct, notarized letters.
The Evansville Licensing Board approved a series of journeyman applications and two continuing-education courses on a vote during its meeting, while tabling several apprentice applications and one master's application because required verifications or notarized signatures were missing.
Board members said the board approved journeyman applications including Joseph Church, Hayden Flow Bowie, Seth Davenport, Kennedy Devine, Joshua Matthews (Bridal Heating and Air), Dylan Mobley, Jacob Morris and Tom Wilkerson after motions to approve each were made and seconded. A motion to deny Paul Dodson's journeyman application was made and carried after board members said his file lacked a required third letter of reference.
The board also approved two continuing-education course requests submitted by the Evansville Electrical JATC: an electrical safety related work practices course approved for 3 continuing-education hours, and an electrical vehicle charging systems course approved for 3 hours. Board members noted the courses were presented as 12-hour packages in the JATC national curriculum but that only three hours were being approved for license credit.
On apprentice applications, board members said Jacob H. Powell's application was approved. Applications for Kellen Wallace and Michael Wallace—both listed as employed by Josh Lamb Electric—were tabled “pending verification” of enrollment in the IEC program after board members said the IEC enrollment had not been verified. The board voted to hold both until documentation showing IEC enrollment is provided.
On master-level applications, the board said Tyler A. Meyer (TWC Electric) had letters on file that were dated and/or addressed to other states and lacked the notarized and signed documentation the board requires. Members moved to table Meyer’s application pending receipt of properly signed, notarized letters addressed for local licensure review.
Board procedure and documentation requirements drew repeated comments. Members discussed that journeyman and master applications generally require three letters of reference, with at least one notarized signature in some cases; when letters were missing, unsigned, outdated or addressed to other jurisdictions the board said it would not accept the file as complete. One member said applicants should reapply with “proper credentials and actually letters that are signed.”
The meeting record shows routine adoption of last month’s minutes at the start of the session and a motion to adjourn at the end.
The board did not specify individual vote tallies by name for each motion in the transcript; motions reported in the record were followed by the standard “All in favor? Aye” responses and no roll-call vote breakdown was recorded in the transcript.
