The Clay County Construction Trade Licensing Board held a meeting on January 5, 2026, primarily addressing disciplinary actions related to a private provider, Mr. Mar, who was found to have acted incompetently in his inspections. The board discussed the suspension of his privileges, although they acknowledged lacking statutory authority to suspend him directly. They agreed to forward their findings and supporting documentation to the Florida Board of Professional Engineers and the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) for further action, including potential remedial training or continuing education requirements. The board also conducted officer nominations and discussed procedural compliance with public meeting laws. Additionally, they touched on the upcoming relocation of the building department and related technology upgrades. No new procurement contracts or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
