Chairman Davis stated our last applicant is one we heard from at our last meeting and still under review by the
Board and asked staff to bring the Board up to date on Mr. Watkins III.
Officer Vargas Barrios addressed the Board and stated Mr. Watkins III came before the Board at the March
meeting. She stated Mr. Watkins II I has informed staff that he is now going to be taking the Finish Carpentry
exam on July 22, 2014 and is being sponsored by Palm Beach County, so we just need to continue this to the
next Licensing Board to allow him to take the examination so he can then send it to us as letter of reciprocity with
the exam results, which was the only thing we were missing to complete his application.
Chairman Davis stated that is what he told us he was going to do at the last meeting, so he just has not gotten
around to it yet.
Officer Vargas Barrios stated at the last meeting she had requested a continuation because he was getting
sponsored by Palm Beach County and he just now got the schedule, so he is scheduled for July 22, 2014.
Chairman Davis asked staff if there was any need for the Board to make a motion to approve continuing him to
the next Board meeting.
Officer Vargas Barrios stated he will have to come back to the Board anyway even though he is has taking the
exam with Palm Beach County to be approved, which is why staff is asking he be continued to the next Board
meeting so we do need a motion from the Board to continue Mr. Watkins to the next Board meeting.
Mr. Hudspeth made a motion to continue Mr. Watkins application to the next meeting in September.
Mr. Langel seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
