Moore   The training room is worse.

Salva   So that
Moore   Okay.

Moore   I really don

+end of interview

Lumb    I was wondering why the guy from Scriba was here.  He looked so familiar.  You know what I think it was, when the landfill had their walk through for that project, Scriba was on the list.

Moore   Yeah.

Lumb    When I was in there for that, one of the guys asked me if they had a license.  I said I didn
Moore   Well he called me and I told him.

Salva   Has that been awarded officially?

Moore   Not that I know of.

Salva   Ridley was how much lower?

Moore   $450.  That was on the water plant.

Lumb    Yeah.  That was really tight.  Ridley told me about that one.

Moore   Ridley has had an Auburn license for a long time.

Salva   Does Buddy Ridley have the license or is it his Dad
Moore   I think it was the father.

Salva   How does that work?

Lumb    It
Salva   But, the father is deceased.

Moore   Oh is he?  How long ago did he die?

Salva   Five years.

Moore   What was the father
Salva   Benjamin Ridley.

Moore   Who is the license in?

Salva   The son
Moore   I think he took the test back in 1992.

Lumb    I think somebody from Ridley took the test since I
Moore   I remember back in 1992, I got into an argument with him because they were doing a lot of work at the water plant.  So he just came in and took the test.

Blair   He took it January 13th of 1993.

Moore   Okay.  Does it say Jr. or Sr. on it?

Blair   No.

Salva   We can check on the renewal.

Moore   I
Salva   When somebody comes in to renew a license, we need to verify that it is indeed the license holder because a license cannot be transferred.

Moore   Right.

Lumb    Like what happened with Merit Electric.

Salva   Right.  My business does not have a license.  I have a license.  Same with all of the master license holders.

Moore   Correct.  Does it give their age or anything on the application?

Quill   No.  

Moore   We can look at the years of experience.

Salva   We should have a way to positively identify the individual renewing against the person who took the test.  Date of Birth, Social Security number, drivers license number?  Are there any legalities, with requesting certain personal information?

Moore   I don
Quill   This is just another reason why they have to come in person to renew the license.

Salva   Oh sure.

Quill   We also need to have “deceased” an option on our license program, along with active, inactive and revoked.  I
Moore   We have to get him to put that in.

Salva   And it
Klimek  I say we go with the social security number.

Salva   I think so too.

Moore   Yeah, we can make room for it in the application.

Salva   There are a lot of father and son businesses with the same name.  We need to consider this.

Quill   So we want a place on the application for the social security number and date of birth?

Moore   Yes.
