Board amends legal report: civil penalties adjusted, consent orders modified
Summary
Disciplinary counsel and board members adjusted recommended civil penalties in residential and commercial cases, added a $5,000 fine and new-license requirement in one commercial matter, and adopted a uniform per-occurrence penalty in another case.
The board reviewed its legal report and voted to amend recommended penalties on multiple cases.
Disciplinary counsel Camilla explained that case 2026025431 had a recommended civil penalty changed to $4,000 by consent. The board later adopted a motion to increase the civil penalty calculation to $2,000 per occurrence for the cited residential matter, and the motion carried. "The, recommended civil penalty is changed, to 4,000 by con if the penalties to be resolved by consent on the order," counsel said when summarizing the consent-resolution proposal.
For a commercial matter (case 116 / 2026029551) the board added a $5,000 civil penalty to the recommendation, required the respondent to submit a new written application for a new license and discussed voluntary revocation of the existing license as part of a consent resolution. The board voted to carry the amended recommendation; staff noted that if the respondent rejects the consent terms the matter could proceed to hearing, and that the current license expires in January 2027.
The board also approved adding language to a letter of warning clarifying that applicants may not split a single project into multiple permits to remain under their monetary limits.
