CITY STAFF MOVES FORWARD WITH BUILDING CODE UPDATES
On Thursday, June 22nd, the Ad Hoc Steering Committee on Building Construction Codes met to discuss this month?s public meetings on the proposed building code updates and to recommend sending their recommendations to the City Council for adoption. The HBA has submitted a letter of support of the steering committee recommendations in regard to the International Residential Code (IRC); International Building Code (IBC); and International Existing Building Code (IEBC). Several HBA members have committed significant time and effort to this review process and their efforts are greatly appreciated. The City Council is expected to introduce a bill for the code adoption at the July 17th meeting. It is likely that Councilman Rick Prather will be the bill sponsor. The only opposition that has surface in committee is in regard to the requirement of fire sprinklers in multi-family construction of 3 units and more. The committee suggests that fire sprinkler installation has become less costly over the years and thus have recommended keeping the requirement for the construction of new apartments and multi-family residential structures. Single-family and duplexes will still not be required to install fire sprinklers as they will be optional to the home buyer or property owner. The steering committee recommended to the City Council the adoption of:
2015 International Fire Code (IFC)
2015 International Residential Code (IRC)
2015 International Building Code (IBC)
2015 International Existing Building Code (IEBC)
2015 International Mechanical Code (IMC)
2015 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC)
2015 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC)
2015 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC)
2015 International Plumbing Code (IPC)
COUNCIL COMMITTEE CONTINUES WORK ON DEMOLITION ORDINANCE
On Thursday, June 22nd, the Jefferson City Public Works and Planning Committee held a work session on the proposed draft ordinance from the Historic City of Jefferson that would modify the current ordinances related to the demolition of historic properties within the City. The aim of the new ordinance is to provide additional time for review and recommendations from the City Historic Preservation Commission before historic properties qualify for demolition. The HBA has submitted comments to the City staff during the review process and many of our suggestions have been included in their recommendations to the council. The Public Works and Planning Committee discussed the recent amendments to the draft proposal provided by staff and discussed ideas on how to gain the full support of all interested parties. The Committee advised staff to make some changes to the bill and hopefully bring a final version forward to the City council within the next two months. The committee appears to
support a ?tiered? approach on the demolition permits. For structures 50 to 99 years old, the current process of review would remain in place. For structures 100 years or older, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) can recommend denial and the owner may appeal to the Council. For structures located within a locally designated historic district such as ?Old Town?, the HPC can recommend denial and the owner may appeal to the council no matter the age of the property.
The remaining issues left to decide by the Council include, the boundaries of the designated historic district; drafting ?tiered? approach; and penalties for violations. Councilman Rick Milhalavich recommended to staff that they continue working with all interested parties and make sure the public has input before a final version is sent to the Council for consideration.
HBA OF MISSOURI BOARD MEETING HELD IN SPRINGFIELD
On Thursday, June 8th, the Home Builders Association of Missouri held a board meeting in Springfield at the HBA of Greater Springfield?s office. Attending the state meeting were representatives from the HBA chapters in Springfield; Joplin, Columbia, Central Missouri, St. Louis, and Kansas City. At this point, the only local paying dues to the state chapter are the HBA of Springfield; HBA of Kansas City and the HBA of Central Missouri (Jefferson City). The HBA of Missouri has been hoping to regain the membership of the St. Louis HBA for many years, but have been unsuccessful.
The HBA of Missouri received a presentation from George Schlueter (builder in Kansas City) on all activities and current events with the National Home Builders Association (NAHB). Schleuter is presently the Missouri State Representative for the NAHB. The board also received a legislative update from the state contract lobbyist Jewel Patek. The meeting participants provided local chapter updates and discussed all the activities and market conditions within their jurisdictions. JOINT EMPLOYER/ INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR GUIDANCE RESCINDED
This month, the NAHB reported that the US Department of Labor (DOL) decided to rescind two Obama-era guidance documents relating to joint employer and independent contractor reporting. Under the old guidance documents, an employer could be held liable for the labor and employment practices of third-party vendors, suppliers and other contracted parties, over which they have no direct control. The NAHB was extremely concerned with the Department of Labor documents as independent contractors and subcontractors are widely used and their participation is necessary to ensuring a positive future for the entire industry. The NAHB further stated that the withdrawal of these documents will provide certainty and clarity to home building firms and small businesses by deterring needless lit igation against employers.
Lum ber Dut ies Wil l Cost 11,300 Jobs
In a move that will raise housing costs and price countless American households out of the housing market, the Commerce Department on June 26 im posed a preliminary 6.87% anti-dumping duty on Canadian lumber imports on top of the 19.88% countervailing duties announced in April.
In an official statement, NAHB Chairman Granger MacDonald said that the combined duties are ?basically another tax on American home builders and home buyers that will jeopardize affordable housing in America.?
The 19.88% countervailing duty is intended to compensate for government subsidies that Canadian firms allegedly receive, while the 6.87% anti-dumping duty is intended to bridge a supposed gap between the price at which Canadian lumber producers are selling lumber in the U.S. and the ?fair market price? determined by the Department of Commerce. Combined, the two duties impose a 26.75% total tariff on Canadian lumber imported into the U.S. NAHB economists predict the move will cost roughly 11,336 full-time jobs.
EPA, Corps Propose Changes t o WOTUS Rule
The EPA and Army Corps of Engineers recently proposed t o replace the 2015 definition of the term ?waters of the United States? (WOTUS) with the text that existed since 1986.
The agencies said the action is the first in a two-step process. In Step 2, the government will propose a new definition for WOTUS.
Going back to the well- established 1986 definition allows the agencies to provide continuity and clarity to the regulated community while deliberating on a new definition.
And this time, the agencies said, the path to a new rule will be more public. ?As we go through the rulemaking process, we will
continue to make the implementation of the Clean Water Act Section 404 regulatory program as transparent as possible for the regulated public,? said Douglas Lamont, Acting Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works.
?NAHB applauds President Trump, the EPA and the Corps for taking the necessary actions to roll back this seriously flawed WOTUS rule that would harm housing affordability by requiring expensive and time-consuming federal permits for countless ditches, isolated ponds and dry channels,? said NAHB chairman Granger MacDonald.

If you have a stake in home building, then you know that every day Congress makes decisions that
affect the home building industry and your bottom line.
When we reach out to members of Congress, we have an impact on the decisions they make.

A new consum er spending analysis f rom NAHB highlights another way home building helps drive a healthy economy: In their first year of ownership, new home buyers spend about $10,600 on appliances, furnishings and home improvements ? 2.6 times as much as other home owners in a typical year.
NAHB economist Natalia Siniavskaia studied the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey to help quantify the wave of activity as new home owners purchase goods and make improve-ments as new owners to personalize their homes.
"While construction jobs are the most obvious impact of new homes on the economy, it doesn't stop there," said NAHB Chairman Granger MacDonald.
?It?s the architects, the heating technicians, the lumber dealers. And it?s the mom-and-pop owners at the local furniture or appliance store who are helping these buyers make their house a home,? he said.
During the first two years after closing on the house, a typical buyer of a newly built single-family home tends to spend on average $4,500 more than a similar non-moving home owner.
NAHB St udy: Hom e Buying a St rong Boost t o Overall Econom y
A previous NAHB study based on 2004-2007 data collected during the housing boom showed somewhat higher spending by home owners overall. But the tendency of buyers to outspend non-moving owners on appliances, furnishings and home improve-ments was similar.
In the aggregate, most of the demand for appliances, furnishings and remodeling projects in a given year is generated by non-moving home owners because they outnumber home buyers by such a wide margin.
But new owners? impact is noticeable ? and vital, MacDonald said. ?The health of housing ? and new home buying ? is key to the overall state of our economy.?

Exper t s Look t o Indust ry 's Fut ure IBS t o Feat ure Rem odel of 1937 House
Three experts offer their insights on the direction the housing industry will take through the end of the year ? and look at what to expect in 2018 and 2019 ? in the exclusive NAHB Construction Forecast Webinar, now available for view ing on nahb.org.
The forecast also includes a discussion of current economic matters, the state of housing demand and an update on supply-side constraints as home builders begin to feel the effects of soaring lumber prices.
The speakers include:
- Mark Zandi, chief economist, Moody?s Analytics.
- Danielle Hale, managing director of research, National Association of Realtors.
- Robert Dietz, chief economist, NAHB.
Wat ch t he present at ion.
Set to debut during the NAHB International Builders? Show, The New American Remodel 2018 is undergoing a comprehensive renovation that includes all-new products, technology and additions.
The home was built in 1937 with a simple floorplan and Italian-luminesce design. Several additions made over the years were among the first things to go during the renovation.
?We want to capitalize on the good [design elements of the home] and take away the bad,? said Caron Farina, head of advertising for the project?s builder, Farina & Sons. The goal, she said, is to create a home for a ?real-life family? and provide other remodelers and builders with ideas to incorporate into their own projects.
Sales of newly built, single- family homes in May rose 2.9% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 610,000 units after an upwardly revised April reading, according to newly released data from HUD and the Census Bureau.
?We are seeing solid overall growth in new home sales this year,? said NAHB chair Granger MacDonald. ?Sales are up more than 12% from this time last year, and we expect continued gains throughout 2017.?
?This m ont h?s repor t is in line with our forecast, and consistent with solid builder confidence readings,? said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. ?With more consumers entering the market, further job growth and tight existing home inventory, the new home sector should continue to expand.?
The inventory of new homes for sale was 268,000 in May, which is a 5.3-month supply at the current sales pace.

OSHA Proposes Delay Of Recordkeeping Rule
OSHA is proposing to delay to Dec. 1 the date by which certain employers are required to electronically submit workplace in jury inform at ion from 2016.
The original mandate gave companies until July 1 to electronically submit their lists of 2016 workplace injuries.
OSHA had previously announced a suspension of the July 1 deadline until further notice.
In January, NAHB, along with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Oklahoma State HBA, State Chamber of Oklahoma and three poultry associations filed a lawsuit challenging OSHA's legal authority to issue the electronic reporting rule.
In addition to the lawsuit, on May 5 NAHB and several other construction industry associations asked the Department of Labor to put the implementation and enforcement of the rule on hold and to reopen the rulemaking record to reexamine the legal authority for the rule and assess its impact on workplace safety and health.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently consulted with NAHB to develop a newly released fact sheet to aid residential builders in meeting the st andard issued in 2015 to protect workers from hazards related to confined spaces in construction work.
The fact sheet, in addition to a detailed Frequent ly Asked Quest ions document, stems from a lawsuit NAHB f i led against OSHA seeking clarification on the confined space standard?s applicability to residential construction. It is the last piece of the guidance NAHB sought as part of the settlement.
The fact sheet clarifies some of the standard?s provisions, its application to residential construction work, and specific obligations for employers. It covers the following areas:
- How employers can determine if confined spaces or permit-required confined spaces exist;
- How common spaces in residential construction are impacted by the standard.
NAHB has also developed a Conf ined Spaces in Const ruct ion Toolk it offering further information for home builders.
NAHB Resources Help Recruit Sk il led LaborNAHB continues to update its members-only Skil led Work force Developm ent Resources to help you recruit skilled labor and spread the word about the rewarding careers available in residential construction. NAHB economists recently analyzed the latest salary data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to provide HBAs and members with updated information about their local residential construction labor market.
The new salary data are promoted in the following resources:
