In the <br /> back o each chapter in the book is a set of exercise problems . which may be worked and submitted to <br /> Haestad Methods for obtaining CEU. Haestad Methods also has a web site ( ww-w.haestad. com) where <br /> people can test their knowledge of engineering and hydraulics by taking a monthly quiz. A high enough <br /> score entitles the participant to miscellaneous prizes and gifts. The Department of Utility Services recently <br /> received a voucher for grading exercise problems ( see attached copy) , which can be used for acquiring <br /> CEU . The purpose of this agenda item is to request approval to utilize the voucher for obtaining CEU . <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> Of the eight CEU, four CEU have to relate to the licensee ' s areas of practice and four hours shall <br /> relate to the rules of the Board (refer to attached BPE section) . The gift voucher grants a participant $300 <br /> worth of problem grading. The cost to receive 4 .5 CEU from the exercise problems is 5225 ( see attached <br /> exercise problem instruction sheet). Therefore, the gift voucher could be used to obtain the total required <br /> CEU needed to satisfy the area of practice requirement for a licensee. The normal method of obtaining <br /> CEU is to attend accredited seminars. A typical seminar cost $900, and qualifies the participant for 1 .2 <br /> CEU (see attached copy of brochure for future seminars) . To obtain the required 4. 0 CEU needed to <br /> satisfy the area of practice requirement, a licensee would have to attend three seminars at a total cost of <br /> $2, 700 . The expense of travel will likely increase the total cost to well over $3 ,000 , which will be saved <br /> by utilizing the gift voucher. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County <br /> Commissioners accept the gift voucher from Haestad Methods as a donation, and allow staff to utilize the <br /> voucher for obtaining CEU credits for Professional accreditation . <br /> ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Stanbridge , SECONDED BY <br /> Commissioner Adams , the Board unanimously accepted the gift <br /> voucher from Haestad Methods as a donation and authorized <br /> staff to utilize the voucher for obtaining CEU credits for <br /> professional accreditation , as recommended in the <br /> memorandum . <br /> 7.
