Commissioner Blank suggested making the sign-in and sign-out policy for “15 years and <br />under.” <br />Commissioner Olson agreed. <br />Some of the Commissioners indicated that this was not what was done for Little Ivy <br />League School. <br />Commissioner Narum stated that she thought what was typically done is for “12 years <br />and under.” <br />Chair Pearce stated that she felt bound to what was done for Little Ivy League School, <br />and all the Commissioners unanimously agreed using “under 16 years.” <br />Commissioner Pentin suggested changing the phrase in the last paragraph of page 2 of <br />Exhibit B, “Alternative Planning Policy,” from “…granted an exemption from licensure…” <br />to “…granted an exemption from State licensure….” He inquired whether the <br />Commission was even requiring child care providers to apply to the State. <br />Commissioner Blank replied that if the State requires the providers to be licensed, then <br />they must go through the State. <br />Commissioner Narum clarified that as part of getting their business license, the <br />providers would have to come in with a letter saying they were exempt from State <br />licensing. <br />Chair Pearce agreed. She added that it would then trigger the disclosure or whether <br />parents must sign it when they bring in their child. <br />Commissioner Narum suggested adding a bullet that relates to disclosure. <br />Commissioner Blank requested that it be a plain language disclosure. <br />Chair Pearce inquired whether the Commission wanted to discuss liability insurance. <br />Commissioner Olson stated that he felt providers could easily generate that by simply <br />calling their agent. <br />Commissioner Pentin inquired whether or not the Commission needed to discuss the <br />exclusions on page 1 of Exhibit B. <br />Chair Pearce stated that she felt this should be slightly modified. <br />Chair Pearce stated that she thinks there were problems with the fact that it states, <br />“fewer than 10 hours per week” as there are children going to facilities more than that, <br />which would trigger all of the other things which are not necessarily appropriate. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 23, 2009 Page 28 of 34 <br /> <br />
