HBA keeps busy with legislative meetings gears up for Habitat build

March was packed full of meetings with our regionrsquos political leaders and state association friends We have also been keeping track of many critical issues affecting our industry

On the North Dakota side the month began with a trip to Bismarck for a North Dakota Association of Buildersrsquo board of directors meeting The group heard updates on administrative changes within the state association discussed upcoming state elections the 2015 legislative session and meetings with our state Congressional delegation Later in the month a group of 11 people traveled to Bismarck again to meet with US Sen Hoeven US Sen Heitkamp and US Rep Cramer (ND) and discussed several critical topics Read a recap of the state meeting and the topics NDAB addressed with the Congressional delegation on page 17 Thank you to NDAB for the work on these items and organizing the visits with our nationrsquos leaders

On the Minnesota side several HBA leaders traveled to St Paul in mid-March to participate in the Builders Association of Minnesotarsquos Builder Day at the Capitol Thank you to BAM for including us in their meetings It was a very productive visit with Minnesota Sen Eken Rep Lien and Rep Marquart regarding permanent flood protection for Moorhead and legislation that could help level the competitive playing field regarding codes regulation in the F-M metro Look for a recap on page 17 We also coordinated a local visit with US Sen Collin Peterson last month as he was back in town during recess

On the local level the HBA organized informational meetings for Builder members with the city of Moorhead and city of Oxbow on opportunities and changes happening in those jurisdictions See page 11 for details

As you can see last month was filled with opportunities for your HBA to do its job of talking to our local state and national leaders regarding issues critical to your livelihood building and remodeling homes and developing land If you are interested in becoming more involved with these

activities please contact the office at (701) 232-5846 or email Allison Weckman at allisonwhbafmcom

Moorhead mayor officials conduct lunch meeting with HBA membersby Lisa Vatnsdal Moorhead Community Development Manager

About 35 HBA of F-M members participated in a March 6 lunch meeting at the Cass County Electric Cooperativersquos community room This city of Moorhead-sponsored meeting provided an opportunity to showcase Moorhead with special emphasis on the cityrsquos tremendous progress on flood protection

Mayor Del Rae Williams visited individually with a number of builders at the meeting and reported to the group that she had also enjoyed the opportunity to meet with builders lenders and Realtors at their Home amp Garden Show booths in

February She spent a few hours each day at the show and made quite a few laps around the Fargodome checking out the exhibits Williams emphasized the pride that Moorhead residents take in their community and neighborhoods noting ldquoMoorhead is poised to be the place to buildrdquo

Moorhead City Manager Michael Redlinger and Deputy City Manager Scott Hutchins briefed builders on Minnesota legislative issues The city of Moorhead and the HBA are pursuing legislative authority to give Minnesota cities bordering North Dakota parity with North Dakota codes on building code issues

City Engineer Dr Bob Zimmerman provided an update on the Cityrsquos flood mitigation which puts Moorhead in an advantageous position for both new construction and resale of existing homes

bull New Construction No building lots in Moorhead

subdivisions require flood insurancebull Existing Homes It is expected that by the end of

2015 the city will have received FEMA accreditation of flood walls levees and related infrastructure constructed since 2009 leaving only about a dozen non-riverfront lots in the 100-year floodplain

Community Development Manager Lisa Vatnsdal said Moorhead is actively meeting with lenders and Realtors as well as builders The city is investing time and resources to market Moorhead to increase demand for housing providing more customers for home builders Vatnsdal reminded the group of Moorheadrsquos incentives for new construction homebuyers (also highlighted at wwwmakeMoorheadhomecom)

bull Make Moorhead Home Two-Year Property Tax Rebate No maximum building value

bull First amp New Program $5000 special assessment loan for first time buyers of newly constructed homes

bull Welcome Home Pass Full year of free recreation activities including a golf membership at the Meadows or Village Green for the purchaser of a newly constructed home

It was reported that the number of different builders constructing single family homes in Moorhead increased from 19 in 2012 to 37 in 2013 The city of Moorhead looks forward to even more builders and homes in 2014 If you have questions about building in Moorhead please contact Lisa Vatnsdal at (218) 2995372 or lisavatnsdalcimoorheadmnus

Mayor Del Rae Williams

Builders attend the ldquoMake Moorhead Homerdquo lunch session

Oxbow to develop build 40 homes

There are a lot of exciting things happening in the city of Oxbow that I want the building community to know about and be a part of in order to help make them a success Residents will be building at least 40 homes in Oxbow by the end of 2015 to accommodate those within the city who are being displaced by a flood protection ring levee The building community is going to be a critical

component in not only building these beautiful new homes but also in helping provide the region with flood protection in a timely and efficient manner

In addition to the removal and rebuilding of 40 homes plans for the ring levee will eliminate the use of a good portion of the current golf course and clubhouse requiring those structures to be rebuilt as well While the ring levee project will have some consequences such as a temporary disruption to the golf course business we as a city have chosen to take a positive outlook on what these new amenities can provide to not only our existing residents but to a new development area as well

The ring levee will provide 40 replacement lots for those being displaced along with an additional 40 lots for others Jim Nyhof

Oxbow Mayor Oxbow continued on page 18

Speaking of wonderful staff we held a celebration dinner honoring our past Executive Officer Doreen Riedman who led the charge for 16 years Congratulations and best wishes to Doreen on her new adventure It was a great evening of sharing stories lots of laughs and even a few tears

With representatives coming together from across the state once again in March we welcomed US Sen Hoeven US Sen Heitkamp and US Rep Cramer to a round-table discussion with 30 of our members We thank the Congressman and our two Senators for taking the time out of their busy schedules to sit down and hear what some high priority issues are In each one-hour meeting we covered flood insurance reform labor shortage and immigration reform diversion funding housing finance reform affordable housing and building energy codes Before we even held our meetings we received news that HR 3370 The Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act passed by a vote of 72-22 The bill now goes to President Obama for his signature

To cap off a great month our very own president Ken Callahan let us take a razor to his head as a St Baldrickrsquos participant Ken looks pretty good bald and we thank him for his bravery for the kids

Industry IssuesIn March nearly 30 of our

members came together for a series of meetings with our National Delegates US Sen Hoeven US Sen Heitkamp and US Rep Cramer took time out of their busy schedules while in North Dakota to meet with our members and talk about issues affecting our industry and what can be done nationally to help The roundtable discussion format allowed for great conversation as well as the

chance to offer ideas and solutions along with our requests A few of the key issues touched on will be ongoing challenges in 2014 and included better housing finance reform immigration reform flood insurance reform affordable housing and labor Having representation at the table from each local association was a true testament to the dedication our members have to the building industry We appreciate all who attended taking time out of your busy schedules as well as you taking time to provide a voice and to offer real-life examples Be sure to keep watch for ways to continue the conversation and to continue working for solutions

Across the state every local association had a story about needing more affordable housing Inventories of affordably priced units are stretched incredibly thin in many areas and are virtually non-existent for our western friends It will take a multi-pronged approach to begin to address this issue and some of the things that will need to be considered as we look for ways to mitigate this lack are home finance restructuring flood insurance reform and infrastructure funding along with several other factors

Another key issue for communities across North Dakota is the labor shortage Finding qualified ready-to-work employees is a challenge for almost everyone these days but it seems to be hitting our industry especially hard as we struggle to keep up with demand Discussion on this issue circled around education and training for our young people as they choose their careers Immigration reform and the path to citizenship and federal programs all are ways to begin to not only address our shortages in North Dakota but also the shortages nationwide for skilled labor in the trades and technical fields

Once again we thank Sen Hoeven Sen Heitkamp and Rep Cramer for meeting with NDAB and for our members who took time to travel to Bismarck and partake in this face-to-face meeting Going forward we hope to facilitate more opportunities like this for our members Be sure let us know the issues important to you and be sure to get involved in our ongoing discussions whenever possible We are here to serve you

bull Statewide building code enforcement ndash The Legislature must pass legislation to level the playing field for the safety of consumers and the economic health of the residential construction industry

bull Subcontractor registration ndash The pilot program has created a heavy burden on licensed contractors Let the pilot project expire June 30 2014 and do not let it become a permanent mandate

bull Builder-pay attorney fees (SF 2146HF 2612) ndash The language is one-sided and would award attorneys fees only to the home owner if they are the prevailing party It does not provide the same for a builder should they prevail The Legislature must oppose this bill

bull B2B taxes ndash Repeal regressive hidden business-to-business sales and use taxes on services

bull Fire sprinkler mandate ndash With the code process nearing completion the Legislature must prohibit the home sprinkler mandate

Reservations about the dollar

Since the start of the Great Recession of 2008 and the Fedrsquos decision to inject trillions of dollars into the banking system there has been constant talk of the US dollar losing its position as the worldrsquos reserve currency the position it has held since the end of WWII After all our debt is huge and growing DC is thoroughly dysfunctional our share of the world economy is shrinking

and China is increasingly pushing for a post dollarcentric financial system Despite all the concerns above the dollarrsquos position as the reserve currency of the world is safe for a long while

First which currency can realistically unseat it The British pound is simply too small to do the job as the British economy is one-seventh the size of the US economy As for the euro while it is large enough there are many structural problems including weak growth over taxation an inflexible central bank and an outside possibility of the monetary union collapse to entice many central banks to significantly increase their euro holdings

As for the Yen Swiss Franc or Chinese renminbi you have got to be kidding With a debt to GDP ratio greater than that of Greece Japan makes the US look downright

fiscally responsible Moreover Japan and Switzerland are both pushing down the value of their respective currencies making them that much less appealing to hold Lastly the renminbi does not freely float and there are significant foreign exchange controls in place As a result it will take at least a decade before China has the necessary legal framework and deep and open financial markets that are a necessary prerequisite before the renminbi can become a credible reserve currency competitor

Second because of increased capital flows between nations due to increases in trade and investment central banks have been repeatedly told by their respective governments to hold larger quantities of safe and easy-to-sell assets which can be easily liquidated in time of crisis As a result total foreign reserves have nearly quadrupled in the past decade and this has dramatically increased the demand for dollars For example when foreign capital suddenly flees a developing nation it puts downward pressure on the local currency By selling some of its dollar holdings to purchase its own currency a country can stabilize its currency and avoid large currency swings Moreover simply holding a large supply of highly liquid foreign assets like dollars discourages speculation and demonstrates that a nation has the necessary reserves to pay foreign creditors for things like oil and wheat

Lastly with large holdings of dollars the last thing foreign nations want to do is harm the dollar as that would reduce the value of their holdings and that in and of itself

Congressional passage of flood insurance bill a boost for housing

March 13 2014 - The National Association of Home Builders today applauded the Senate for approving flood insurance legislation that will provide much-needed certainty to home owners and financial stability for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) HR 3370 the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act was approved by the House earlier this month and is expected to be signed into law shortly by President Obama

ldquoBy providing a more affordable rate structure for policyholders and repealing point-of-sale rate increases the bill is a boon for home owners and home buyersrdquo said NAHB Chairman Kevin Kelly a home builder and developer from Wilmington Del ldquoFurther it gives an important boost to home building and remodeling while simultaneously shoring up the NFIPrdquo

HR 3370 will help address some of the costly and unintended consequences of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act including huge premium spikes and impacts on the sale construction and remodeling of homes across the nation

The legislation provides a more affordable rate structure for policyholders repeals the requirement that flood insurance premiums increase immediately to full actuarial rates for homes that are sold and restores ldquograndfatheringrdquo

for properties that were paying premiums applicable to their initial flood risk rating allowing owners to pay premiums based on the original risk zone rather than updated flood risk zones

The bill also requires the Federal Emergency Management Agencyrsquos remapping process to take into account local flood control structures and provides reimbursement for successful consumer map appeals

Further it restores the ldquosubstantial improvement thresholdrdquo that triggers a higher flood insurance rate to the historic 50-percent level of a structurersquos fair market value which is important for many remodelers across the nation

ldquoNAHB commends the bipartisan efforts of lawmakers in both the House and Senate for working to pass flood insurance legislation that will help the housing industry continue to reboundrdquo said Kelly

Building officialrsquos corner Flood proofing code changes permit processing

Staff changesWe are anticipating another busy

construction season in Fargo and the metro area For this reason we intend to hire two additional temporary inspectors to help meet the demand for inspections If everything proceeds as planned we would retain these two inspectors for approximately eight months beginning at the start of May

Fee increasesWe are proposing a moderate permit fee increase for

residential building permits ranging from 6 to 79 percent (Please refer to the range table below) The effective date of this increase is yet to be determined but will likely not take effect until April 1 at the earliest Our last residential permit fee increase was six years ago on Jan 1 2008 See chart below

Irsquom going to take just a minute to share a word with you about the values that some of you are submitting to receive your permits This certainly does not pertain to all of our applicants but some submittals are ridiculously low While I would like to accept your value estimates fairness has to come into play We have received value estimates as low as $25 per square foot Need I even say anything about an estimate that low When we receive value estimates that seem to be too low inspections staff will assist you by estimating the values on your behalf

Flood-proofing code policy changesThe City Commission enacted a revision of the flood-

proofing construction policy statement that augments both our flood-proofing code and our flood plain management requirements and was effective immediately upon that enactment Much of the revised document reinforces our previously existing requirements with which you are probably aware and are at least somewhat familiar with There are some changes that would affect the extent of areas in which these requirements are applied Also there are some elevation changes which increase the degree of safety from flooding at a higher level These changes will have the effect of mitigating potential damage from major flooding and providing an enhanced position for property owners to avoid dramatically higher flood insurance costs

While I would encourage each of you to obtain the revised handout for these requirements from the Fargo inspections office I will briefly talk about the more

far-reaching changes Elevation references within the document are now made to the river-gauge elevation and are applied within the area having a 1 percent chance of flooding in any given year (the 100-year flood plain the BFE) Structures to be built within this area will be required to be flood-proofed and to have lowest openings including area wells at 422rsquo with fill at the building required to be at 417rsquo and fill at 15rsquo from the building to be at the BFE

Structures to be constructed within the area that would be inundated at a water elevation of 41rsquo will now be required to meet these same elevation requirements and be flood-proofed

At first glance these numbers may seem ominous but because of the design elevations being required for infrastructure coupled with standard practice for elevating structures with relation to the street the impact should be relatively small a matter of a few inches

Permits permit processing and inspections cards

It is dangerous and could be costly to assume that once your building plan is submitted to us you have approval to proceed That is simply not true You do not have approval to proceed with any part of your project unless you have a building permit in your possession Because of the rate at which we received plans last year and the rate at which we anticipate them this year it will take us some time to process your permit requests Please be patient and remember that you are not the only contractor requesting permits We will be processing applications in the order received Service will be as rapid as we can make it but it will not be instantaneous

This reminds me to tell you to pick up your building permits when they are issued The permits contain your inspections sign-off cards which are

meant to give you a ready reference on the status of your projects during their framing and final phases Yes I said final The new cards contain sign-off spots for the final inspections in each discipline so you will also be able to tell when all the required inspections are complete

Wersquove had some interesting things happen especially last year On a few too many occasions some of you have requested more than one permit application for the same house on the same lothellip sort of funny for awhile but it turns out to be fairly costly to fix Since this sort of thing takes time away from our preparation of someone elsersquos permit wersquoll be charging building permit fees for each such request

Please get your records in order by picking up your building permits when they are ready and keeping track of them in your records to avoid this unnecessary cost to you

Leaders travel to St PaulVoice support for border city code legislation permanent flood protection

Fellow HBA of F-M leaders and I traveled to St Paul last month to participate in the Builders Association of Minnesotarsquos Builder Day at the Capitol Thank you to BAM and everyone involved for welcoming us

as part of your team to meet with state legislators about building industry issues On March 12 BAM hosted a

lunch meeting to give an issues overview talking points and tips for our meetings We met with our local legislators Sen Kent Eken Rep Ben Lien and Rep Paul Marquart

The local issues we carried to the meetings were finishing up Moorheadrsquos projects for permanent flood protection and supporting border city building code legislation

Nearly all Moorheadrsquos existing homes and all platted residential building lots are outside of or elevated above the 100-year floodplain Major flood control efforts implemented since 2009 provide additional protection for the entire city but $72 million is still needed to complete the levies We spoke to all three

legislators about this issue and they are confident the funding to complete Moorheadrsquos flood mitigation will be added to the 2014 bonding bill

The HBA of F-M strongly supports SF1914HF2389 that authorizes Minnesota border cities to adopt changes

HBA participates in NDAB board meeting discusses industry issues

Stokesrsquo continuing drive to succeed has played a huge role in his success His bachelorrsquos degree in architecture and minor in business from North Dakota State University is not his only educational accomplishment He also completed an associatersquos degree in architectural drafting and estimating technology from North Dakota State College of Science and completed a 28-week course in Hawk Continuous Wave Radar Repair at the US Army Missile and Munitions School all of which helped mold his design and business philosophies Stokesrsquo wife Mary and three daughters Chelsey a designer for Prairie Design Studio Lindsay a graphic designer for Results Unlimited and Leah in her second year at NDSU have all enhanced his passion creativity and drive to succeed His 12 years working in the industry prior to starting his own company also helped make Prairie Design Studio what it is today

Prairie Design Studio became a member of the HBA of F-M in 2008 when influenced by Ron Dick from Design 7 The idea of meeting other members that work in the industry and the group option for health insurance were the main appealing factors for Stokes Since then he has enjoyed the HBArsquos advocacy efforts for the building industry from state to federal government

What is your companyrsquos focusldquoNAI North Central is a full-service commercial real

estate company focusing on land development and sales leasing and investment opportunities for all commercial real estate productsrdquoWhat is the latest trend in your industry

ldquoThe latest trend in the developmentbuilding industry is the movement of residential lots to both smaller and larger sizes While there remains availability in the mid-range lot we are finding gravitation toward smaller lots with more affordable housing that appeal to a large portion of the first-time home buyer market as well as some initial move-up markets For the customers who desire a larger home we work on creative ways to provide the lot sizes necessary to hold the house and keep the special assessments down As it has been in the past flood avoidance is a major component of new developments in our area Therefore most of the new developments (Rocking Horse Farm and Brooks Harbor) are along the flood-protected corridor south and west in Fargo and in West Fargo Flood mitigation will continue to be an area of concern for all municipalities in our market areardquoWhat do you think is the biggest challenge facing the industry today and how are you dealing with it

ldquoOne of the bigger challenges facing our industry is the ever-increasing special assessment bills that attach to each new lot for sale While this challenge has been somewhat mitigated by the interest rate environment over the previous years the issue will become much more exacerbated if interest rates start to rise again Developers Realtors and municipalities will need to continue to work together to think of efficient ways in which to provide the infrastructure needed while limiting the costimpact to the new developments when they are establishedrdquo

bull Measure 2 - The group in 2012 that brought Measure 2 up for vote is back with a new campaign to eliminate property tax There is also another campaign to force local governments into state-mandated budget schedules that some say could destroy the flexibility that local governments need to adjust spending to changing needs

playing field in the F-M metro marketplace All three legislators are very supportive Sen Eken and Rep Lien co-authored the bill Code differences add up to cost differences when a consumer is making a residential housing decision Of primary concern to the HBA of F-M the city of Moorhead and the city of Dilworth is the mandate for fire sprinklers included in the Minnesota building code to be enacted in 2014 Required in homes 4500 sq ft or larger this change will add $9000 to the cost of a home and create significant disparity between the Minnesota and North Dakota markets

We also addressed BAMrsquos building industry priorities for this session which include the followingbull Prohibiting the home indoor sprinkler mandate - With the code process nearing completion BAM looks to influence the legislature to prohibit the home sprinkler mandate in the 2014 session BAM leads an effort for discussion leading to an adjustment of the new code requirement of sprinklersbull Repealing B2B taxes - With a budget surplus BAMrsquos stance is that the state doesnrsquot need regressive hidden business-to-business sales and use taxes on services BAM would like to see the B2B taxes

repealed and it looks as though this issue has bi-partisan support

bull Enforce and inspect the building code statewide - In rural areas the building code is not always enforced BAM looks to pass legislation to level the playing field for the safety of consumers and the economic health of the residential construction industry

bull Subcontractor registration pilot project - BAM would like to see this pilot project expire June 30 2014 as it creates a heavy burden for subcontractors to achieve compliance

bull Reject builder-pay attorney fees - BAM opposes legislation which proposes adding language that a home owner may receive attorney fees in 327A home warranty disputes if they are the prevailing party

BAM recap continued from page 17
