Review pending accreditor
applications for recommendation to the Commission Mr. Charles Barr Pending Discussion: The Chair asked the Education Administrator,
Michael Clark, to address this agenda item. Mr. Clark stated that the
applicant’s name was Mr. Charles Barr and that he currently resides in St.
Augustine, Florida. Mr. Clark asked the ED POC members if they received the
rule language he sent them with the Ed POC Meeting reminder that describes
the requirements for an accreditor to be approved. Mr. Clark stated that he
checked to make sure that all of Mr. Barr’s licenses were current.
Specifically, he referenced:
Mr. Clark further stated that the
trade areas (subsequent content areas of advanced courses) Mr. Barr was
seeking approval for, matched his current licenses. Those specific areas were
Class A Air Conditioning, Accessibility, Administration, Class B Air
Conditioning, Building Commercial, and Building Residential. Mr. Clark further stated that the
flowchart Mr. Barr included with his application, that described/explained
the evaluation process regarding an accreditor’s job of reviewing courses,
was both absolutely correct and well put together. Given this information,
Mr. Clark asked the ED POC members if they had any questions about Mr. Barr.
No questions were forthcoming. The Chair then asked for a motion of approval,
which did occur. Motion: To
approve Mr. Charles Barr as a Florida Building Commission Accreditor Motion: Jeffrey
Stone Second: Darrell

Education Administrator activity
report Discussion: The Chair asked Cam Fentriss to
respond to this agenda item. She stated that other than the normal activities
of the Administrator, 38 inquiries were handled since the last meeting. The
details of those inquiries were listed in the report. She further stated that
she was receiving little interest regarding the use of available training
grant funding. She stated that probably the reason was that courses with the

questions regarding the report. No questions were forthcoming. Education Administrator Activities/Tasks A.
