In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the licensing status of a landscape designer whose credentials have lapsed. The individual, previously a licensed landscape architect, has been functioning as a landscape designer since his license expired. The committee emphasized the importance of clearly stating that he cannot stamp or sign drawings, nor advertise his services as a landscape architect.

Concerns were raised regarding the individual's intentions, particularly whether he seeks to reinstate his license or simply continue working under his current status. The discussion revealed that he had initially planned to retire in 2024 but is now considering extending his career due to financial reasons. This change in plans has led to confusion about his continuing education requirements, which are necessary for license reinstatement.

Committee members agreed that more information is needed to clarify the designer's situation. They proposed reaching out to him to determine whether he intends to pursue licensure reinstatement and what specific continuing education units (CEUs) he may need to fulfill. The consensus was to table the motion until further clarification is obtained, ensuring that the designer is not hindered in his professional activities while adhering to regulatory standards.

The meeting also introduced new applications for licensure from Michelle Torini and Eunji Kim, indicating ongoing efforts to manage and regulate professional standards within the landscape architecture field.
