APPRAISAL
Administrative
As long as the inspection officer is certified, information as to his/her qualifications and the record of joint inspection should be maintained. Once the certification has expired, this information may be useful as background material should the officer wish to be restandardized. Should the inspection officer certification be withdrawn due to inadequate performance, a record of the joint inspection would help defend the state should the inspection officer wish to dispute the withdrawal. A two year retention was chosen because it is the period of time within which a discrimination action must be taken. This activity is part of the state's responsibility under UCA 26-24-3.
