Unlicensed Practice of Land Surveying by California Public Entities??

I have always been curious about how 8725.1 of the California Professional Land Surveyorƒ??s Act can be reconciled with 8730(b)(1).?ÿ The former sections appears to require for governmental entities the normal condition for profession licensing of allowing someone with the appropriate license to be in professional charge of someone who is not licensed.?ÿ ?ÿYet the latter section, again for governmental entities, seems to allow an unlicensed person to work under the authority of someone who is not licensed to practice land surveying.?ÿ Just to be clear, the reference of the later section is to ƒ??registered civil engineerƒ?, not to those civil engineers who were ƒ??grandfatheredƒ?? in when the law changed in the early 80ƒ??s removing civil engineers for the practice of land surveying.?ÿ?ÿ

As a practical matter, in the Los Angeles area in my experience it is common for government officials not licensed in land surveying to practice that profession (at least in my opinion they are) with no one working at the governmental entity (usually a City) being licensed to practice land surveying.

Am I missing something?
