Mr. James C. Young, attorney and members of the Board of Plumbers Examiners appeared before the Board at this time and elaborated on the six points that his Board appealed the decision of the Board of Appeals. Thereafter Mr. John Mendoza, representing Mr. Larry Garrity in his request for certification spoke to the Commission on this matter. Commissioner Sharp moved the Board of Commissioners approve the decision of the Board of Appeals granting a Master Plumbers Certificate to Larry Garrity; further that the Board disapprove the action of the Plumbing Inspector, Art Angel insofar as he took it upon himself to re-examine the papers with an outside, non Board member and regrade the examination papers, therefore, disregarding his own Board for whom he acted as secretary. This was a very unorthodox action taken, by the secretary of the Board of Plumber Examiners, without thier authority.
