Chattanooga engineer John Germ has been cited for "misconduct" by a state professional panel and fined $1,200.

Germ, who heads Campbell & Associates, was cited after he surrendered his license in Oklahoma related to allegations he did work for his firm there even though the business wasn't licensed in that state, according to the Tennessee Board of Examiners for Architects and Engineers. Germ also surrendered his license in Ohio, Louisiana, and North Carolina related to Oklahoma situation, the board said.

Germ said Friday that Oklahoma requires not just an individual to be licensed but the firm as well. He said the company wasn't doing much work there and a decision was made to not get re-licensed in that state.
