Board issues warnings, dismissals across 10 complaint files; unlicensed drone/LiDAR complaint deferred for full review
Summary
At its August meeting the Board of Land Surveyors disposed of nine complaints by dismissal or written notice and deferred a high‑profile complaint alleging unlicensed drone/LiDAR surveying for further review at the next full meeting.
The Tennessee Board of Land Surveyors considered 10 complaint files during its legal‑report segment and voted on recommended dispositions for nine of them. The board issued letters (warnings or instructions) in several cases, dismissed multiple complaints after expert review, and deferred one complaint — alleging an unlicensed company was offering drone‑based topographic and mapping services that may amount to surveying — for further consideration at the next meeting when the full board can be present.
Legal counsel presented each complaint, summarized expert findings where applicable, and made recommendations. The board accepted the legal recommendations in all nine decided matters by motion and voice vote. Those outcomes included letters of warning in cases where the expert found possible rule violations or where the licensee had self‑reported discipline in another state; letters of instruction (a milder reminder of technical requirements) where the matters were minor technical omissions; and dismissals where expert review found no violation.
