Mr. Dial reported that he attended the CLARB meeting and gathered
information on continuing education nationwide.
He felt that requirements set by Idaho should be standardized through
CLARB so that the continuing education will also work for landscape architects
licensed in other states. It was
decided that the Board would study the issue and gain some input from the
Association and from the licensees.

was held on ways to monitor the LAIT’s and whether a fee can be charged to
maintain the files of the LAIT. This

next session. The rules that are

the Board’s financial status was discussed. It was noted that the Boards cash
balance was on a downward trend and the Board may need to consider raising fees

report. There have been no
complaints this fiscal year and one complaint is still under investigation from
FY 2003.
Discussion was held on the dues charged for
CLARB membership. It was noted that
the required dues equal out to about $24 per licensee.
Discussion was held on comments received
regarding the proposed rules that were published this month.
Jim Thomas expressed concerns on ASLA Code of Professional Ethics being
adopted under the rules of professional responsibility in the pending rules.
Discussion was held and both the ASLA Code of Professional Ethics and the
CLARB Model Rules of Professional Conduct were reviewed.
Moved by Ms. McGown that the proposed rule be modified to replace ASLA
Code of Professional Ethics with CLARB Model Rules of Professional Conduct with the exclusion of b, c, and d in the seal portion of the
document and replace all references to registered landscape architects with
licensed landscape architect in the pending rules to accommodate public comment.

they will be offered in August. Ms.
McGown stated that CLARB should be contacted in regards to annual dues and
