The meeting was called to order at 9:03 a.m. by Chair, Henri Le Moyne.

Ruby Stroschein, Board Member, was unable to attend this meeting.

The board reviewed the minutes from the October 17, 2005 board meeting.

Motion was made by Mr. Morgan to accept the minutes with amendments. Seconded by Mr. Bachmeier, carried.

Ms. Jacobsen, Bureau Chief, gave the legislative report.

Board discussed the implementation of the new AQB criteria changes in Idaho. The board questioned the reason for the law to take effect in Idaho on January 1, 2007. Ms. Jacobsen, Bureau Chief, explained options for the board at this point. The first option is to wait until the legislation session adjourn and then make a rule change. The second option is to pull the entire rule change going before legislation. Mr. Le Moyne, Chairman of the board, said that he believes the proposed dates for the requirements in Idaho are confusing.  

Mr. Hales, Administrative Attorney, joined the meeting at 9:20 a.m.

Mr. Hales, Administrative Attorney, explained that the reason the board asked that legislation pass the law in Idaho on January 1, 2007 was to make sure that Idaho was in compliance before the national January 1, 2008 date. The board discussed the mass mailings that were sent out to all of the Idaho licensed Appraisers in June. The mailing noted that the scheduled date for the law change would be January 1, 2008. The board noted that a portion of a Legislative proposal may not be changed once it is submitted. Ms. Jacobsen reviewed the proposed rule change with the board. Mr. Le Moyne, requested that the board look at rule 32. C education and experience. The board discussed the requirement for logged hours. As it stands an applicant may only count 1000 hours per 12 months. Mr. Le Moyne noted that the reason that the board proposed the July 1, 2006 date was an attempt to get ahead of the January 1, 2008 date. Mr. Le Moyne stated that his concern was that the core education would not be ready by January 1, 2007. Mr. Le Moyne, believes that the July 1, 2006 date should be consistent with the January 1, 2007 date. The board noted that they will continue to discuss these changes in future meetings.
