The Agreement shall be effective beginning at Midnight Mountain Daylight Time July 1, 2006 and shall automatically terminate at Midnight Mountain Daylight Time on July 1, 2007, unless otherwise approved for renewal by agreement of the parties or otherwise terminated as provided herein.
IN WITNESS WHEROF the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by the following duly authorized representatives of the parties this _____ day of _____________, 2006.
The IBOL has a policy of operating from written and signed complaints. Persons attempting to submit verbal or 3rd party complaints shall be advised that all complaints must be in writing and signed by the complainant before the IBOL shall consider them. The IBOL performs an initial brief review of all new complaints to insure that adequate information has been submitted and that jurisdiction exists. If additional information is necessary, a letter of request is sent to the complainant. If the complaint is determined to be outside the jurisdiction of a board, the complainant is notified of that fact, as well as other avenues that may be pursued. The complaint may also be referred to another governmental entity for consideration.
If further action on a complaint is warranted, subsequent to review, the original complaint document shall be assigned a complaint number by the IBOL. The IBOL prepares both a master file and an investigative file, and registers the complaint number in the complaint log. The complaint is then assigned to the investigative unit for such investigation as may be necessary to discover evidence as to whether or not a violation of the applicable regulations has occurred. The master files are kept in the IBOL office. The master file for each complaint will ultimately consist of the original complaint, investigative documents, evidence, and correspondence received during the course of investigation. The complainant shall be provided written notification that an investigation will take place and notice of the results of the investigation or subsequent action when the process is complete. The IBOL will conduct a review of all new and existing complaints on a regular basis. Each complaint will be reviewed to monitor the current status of the complaint, to receive investigative progress reports, and to determine any appropriate action that may be necessary. The complaint may be referred to a technical advisor for input at any time during the process. The technical advisers are chosen from names recommended by the Board or from other licensees as may be necessary to provide expert opinions concerning professional ethics, scopes of practice, and other evaluations of professional procedure as may be necessary. If a Board member serves as a technical advisor for a particular investigation, the IBOL will recommend that the member be recused from any subsequent board action concerning the matter.
Once the investigation is deemed complete and adequate, the IBOL will either make recommendation to the Board regarding possible action or refer the investigation to a deputy from the Office of the Attorney General for review. The Deputy Attorney General (DAG) will serve as prosecuting attorney and will review the investigation to determine if some form of legal action would be appropriate to address the issues in the complaint. The DAG will present a “blind” review of the investigation to the Board, together with a recommendation of possible action. The Board shall provide such direction and recommendations as may be necessary to allow the IBOL or the DAG to pursue the resolution of complaints. Such final resolution may include closure without action or any other action up to and including license revocation. The Board, the IBOL, or the DAG may refer complaints to other appropriate city, county, or Federal authorities for further review or action. The board shall be notified prior to any final action on a complaint under the Board’s jurisdiction. While Formal Complaints may be initially approved by the IBOL, all final determinations regarding Formal Complaint shall only be made subsequent to the approval of the Board. Consent agreements may be negotiated between the DAG and the respondent prior to presentation to the Board, but the final decision making authority shall always rest with the Board. The board must formally accept all consent agreements, final orders, and other disciplinary actions before they shall be considered valid. Original complaints and other materials submitted to or obtained by the IBOL, during the course of investigation or otherwise, and the subsequent action regarding original complaints shall not be a public record and shall not be disclosed. Formal disciplinary action including consent orders, stipulated agreements, formal complaints and any resulting sanction, restriction, advisory, reprimand, and condition adopted by the Board shall be a public record and subject to public disclosure. EXHIBIT B
As authorized by Idaho Code, and directed by the Board, investigators of the IBOL shall conduct inspections of facility premises in order to insure that sanitary and other licensure regulations as may be required by law and rule are being followed. Subsequent to each facility inspection, the IBOL investigator shall issue a certification of inspection, noting that the facility is either in compliance or in non-compliance with the regulations. The grading scale for facility inspections shall be as follows:
In the event unacceptable conditions are found to exist in any facility, the IBOL investigator will issue a “C” classification. The IBOL investigator will provide notice to the facility of the reasons for non-compliance and of the intent to conduct such re-inspections as may be necessary. Upon the issuance of a “C” classification to a facility by the IBOL investigator, the IBOL investigator will prepare a report of said inspection and file that report with the IBOL. The IBOL investigator shall conduct a re-inspection of the facility within thirty (30) days of the date of the initial “C” classification issuance. If facility conditions, at the time of re-inspection, are deemed by the IBOL investigator to be unacceptable and in non-compliance with the laws and rules, the IBOL investigator will prepare a notice citing the reasons for non-compliance and serve the facility with said notice. The notice shall include notification of the IBOL’s intent to file a request for disciplinary action with the Board. The IBOL investigator shall prepare a Report of Non-compliance concerning the re-inspection and file it with the IBOL. Upon receipt of the report, the IBOL shall request that the prosecuting Deputy Attorney General prepare a formal complaint for disciplinary action against the facility license and others as may be appropriate. Said formal complaint shall be presented to the Board for their consideration and action. EXHIBIT C COST OF SERVICES The IBOL shall charge the Bureau of Occupational Licenses Fund (Fund #427) for all direct expenses, commonly referred to as “direct costs.” Direct costs are those expenses incurred by the Board or the IBOL relating to carrying out the duties of the Board and that can be directly attributable to an individual Board. The IBOL shall also charge Fund #427 a pro-rata share of the IBOL's indirect expenses, commonly referred to as "indirect costs." Indirect costs are those expenses regularly incurred in the operation of the IBOL that cannot be directly attributable to any individual Board and, therefore, cannot be included in the direct expenses charged to the Board. Indirect cost percentages are calculated for administrative services, investigative services, and fiscal services. The indirect administrative percentage is
based on an average of the total direct and indirect expenses for the previous four (4) fiscal years. The indirect investigative percentage is based on an average of actual direct investigative hours charged to the board for the previous five (5) fiscal years. The indirect fiscal percentage is based on the total number of individual records maintained plus the total number of financial transactions processed during the previous fiscal year. (All indirect percentages are based on historical data only to the extent that such data is available.) The approximate percentage shares of indirect expenses to be charged to the Board are:
Administrative 0.74% Investigative 0.06% Fiscal 1.61% The total fiscal year Board budget is calculated by combining the Board's direct expenses and the Board's indirect expenses. The Board’s estimated Total Board Budget for fiscal year 2007 is $83,000.00.
If the Board's internal fund balance contains insufficient funds to pay its share of the IBOL fixed costs, the notice of termination shall be deemed non-binding until such time as the Board's fund balance is sufficient to pay its share of all fixed costs budgeted for the Board.
