www.ucls.org 28 Issue 1 2015 / UCLS Foresights F irst of all I would like to thank Steve Dale and Tim Prestwich for the great job they have done as co-chairs for the standards and ethics committee over the past year. Because they are both on the board, I was asked by Scott to chair this committee. We had our first meeting on March 19th at the office of Benchmark Engineering and Land Surveying in Sandy. This meeting was well attended 7 survey - ors and 1 representative from DOPL. Kagan Dixon is our newest licensed member. Welcome aboard Kagan! The DOPL investigator, Sharon Esplin, had nothing currently to discuss. He mentioned there were a few in the works but he wasn’t ready to discuss yet. The Subdivision Plat Model Stan- dards has been approved by the Board John Stahl spoke about Washington’s State’s plan to create a Limited Licensed Legal Technician (LLLT). He will discuss more on this in the next meeting he will be attending. The remainder of the meeting dis - cussed the Condominium Plat Model Standards. The goal is to have these standards ready to submit to the board by June/July of 2015. Standards & Ethics Report There are a number of past members of this committee that haven’t attended in some time. It has been suggested that those licensed surveyors that are on the email list that haven’t attended for the past 3 months, be left on the email list so they can review the minutes. These licensed surveyors will be take off the ac - tive member list for this committee. If there are any surveyors that would like to become a member of this commit- tee, please contact Dale at 801.884.7192 or dale@benchmarkcivil.com . BY DALE BENNETT
