Pocatello City Council Story

The City Council of Pocatello presents the appeals from three child care license applicants in the City Council meeting at the Council Chamber on Thursday. The council members deny two action items on child care license denial appeals.
Shane Burrell presented his appeal in the chamber after the Police Department staff denied his child care license due to a charge of the 2013 conviction of petty theft that is considered a violation of moral turpitude. However, after the careful hearing of the incident from Mr. Burrell, the city council member decides it had nothing to do with children. The Councilmember Rick Cheatum then moves to approve the appeal and the motion carries.
On the other hand, the chamber denies diffident Hannh Fick and Erica Singleton’s appeals. The diffident Hannh Fink presented the chamber about her emotions with children and honesty to her profession, but she did not present the actual charge with the denial — admitted to being in possession of the controlled substance.
The chamber detects Ms. Fick did not mention the charge in her application too, which clearly is questionable about her honesty that she mentioned earlier. “I didn’t think it needs to be on there,” she said.
The Council member Heidi Adamson asked the Junaid Herman of Trustees Licensing to read the segment Ms. Fick did not answer in her application. “The question ‘Have you ever convicted to plead guilty or violation of criminal law for any crime committed?’ is clearly answerable,” said Adamson. Rick Cheatum said he has ‘less sympathy’ for illegal drugs and he moves to deny the appeal.
The Police Department staff denied Ms. Singleton’s child her license for being in possession of drug paraphernalia during an incident that occurred in June 2014. She also failed to disclose this in her application. Ms. Singleton said in the meeting that she was once a victim of domestic violence by her ex-husband but she didn’t remember anything about the incident while filling out the application.
Adamson again asks Ms. Herman to explain the process of catching something that should have listed in the application. Ms. Heramn replied, “If I see something that is a reason for denial depending on each case, I usually give the applicant a chance to explain why it is not on the application.”
It took a while for Ms. Singleton to remember the incident, but at the end of the phone call, she admitted the incident and told her everything to Ms. Herman. The appeal dies for the lack of a motion.
