Have you recruited that new member this
year? If not, SICBA has a challenge going
on right now that can benefit all SICBA
members. It is called “RACE TO 500”.
The SICBA Membership Committee set a
goal to increase our membership numbers to
500 by year’s end. When they took it to
the SICBA Board of Directors, the Board
approved the plan with a caveat. If we
reach 500 by December 1, every SICBA
Member Company will receive one free
ticket to our Christmas Installation Dinner.
We would love to fill a local
establishment with SICBA Members, so if
you haven’t recruited a new member or know
a company that should be a member, ask
them to join. And, if you need any help in
getting them to commit, let us know in the
office and we will provide the assistance
needed to help you make sure someone else
is enjoying SICBA’s many offerings and
benefits that you already are.
Don’t be bashful! If you need any
information, that is what we are here for.
Give us a call at (360) 757-6916 and we
will be sure to have the right staff person
assist you.
SICBA’s Board of Directors is looking for individuals interested in being involved in the
leadership of the association. If you are interested in serving on one of SICBA’s
Committees or on the SICBA Board of Directors, please email [email protected] and we will
be sure to accommodate your request.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Home Tour Committee Chair is Curtis Banta Thank you to everyone for a very successful Home Tour this year, our 11th annual. A great time was had by all. A special thank you to all of our sponsors for helping to bring this all together. This year saw a good turnout of people to all the homes, and a spectacular showcase of homes it was. We hope to see all of your homes on the tour next year. Stay tuned.
Membership Committee Chair is Dee Dee Swartz Thank you to all who participated in the Peer to Pier Cruise: sponsors, recruiters and new members! With over 90 attendees, it was a wonderful event, including good food and great friends. We are already making plans to do this cruise again, so start comparing your Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable list with the current SICBA membership directory on the website, or call Rayna. October has historically been an excellent time to contact your subs, suppliers & friends and talk to them about the value of being a member in SICBA. Do them a favor and invite them to SICBA’s next Membership Networking Event – Tuesday, October 17
th, 5 – 7 pm at Northwest Hot
Springs Spas Inc in Burlington. Bring a client, sub, supplier or friend for a beverage and networking via SICBA. Why should they join? For the same reasons you are a member.

This year we did things a little different than we have in the past. Instead of judging the Home Tour homes and then taking the awards to each house on the Friday the tour starts, we decided to change the venue and have a kickoff the evening before and after all judging had been done. We thought it would be nice to be able to recognize the winners of the awards the evening before and give them their awards so they could have them in their homes on the tour the next morning instead of after the tour was already under way. There were three different categories of homes for competition. They were Category A 3,000 square feet and above; Category B 2,000 to 2,999 square feet and Category C 1,999 square feet and below. They were all judged for Best Kitchen, Best Master Suite, Best Interior Design, Best Floor Plan, Best Outdoor Living Space, Best Curb Appeal and an overall Best Energy Efficiency which had all categories competing with each other. In Category A, Best Kitchen, Best Interior Design, and Best Floor Plan went to Cascade Custom Homes and Design Inc. Best Master Suite, Best Outdoor Living Space and Best Curb Appeal went to BYK Construction for the Curtis Home. In Category B, Best Kitchen, Best Master Suite, Best Interior Design, Best Floor Plan, Best Outdoor Living Space and best Curb Appeal went to Brown & Sons Inc. for the Guildner Residence. In Category C, Best Kitchen, Best Floor Plan and Best
Curb Appeal went to Martha Rose Construction for “The Pines”. Best Master Suite, Best Interior Design and Best Outdoor Living Space went to Landed Gentry Homes and Communities for the “Madrona” in Woodside subdivision. The Best Energy Efficiency Overall went to Martha Rose Construction for “The Pines.” Overall best of Category A went to Cascade Custom Homes and Design Inc. for the Piper Residence. Category B went to Brown and Sons Inc for the Guildner Residence and Category C went to Martha Rose for “The Pines.” The Overall Best of Tour went to Cascade Custom Homes and Design Inc. for the Piper Residence. It was a great time at Railroad Pizza in Burlington and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Be sure to mark your calendars for our next after hours at Northwest Hot Springs Spas Inc. in Burlington on October 17

MESSAGE FROM SKAGIT COUNTY PLANNING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT
We’re Open at Lunch! Planning & Development Services is now open for walk-in visits Monday-Friday, 8:00 am – 3:30 pm. The Commissioners Administrative Building is open a half hour earlier and later for drop-offs or other matters that don’t require payment of money or staff questions.
Appointments Required for Some Applications We now offer and require that you make an appointment to submit the following permit application types:
Building or grading permits Land division Shoreline permits Special use permits Variances
All other application types are accepted as walk-ins, but if you have multiple walk-in applications, you must make an appointment. Call the Planning Department at 360-416-1320 to make an appointment, which are usually available within 2-3 days.
New Application Forms As we revise our permitting process and move toward accepting online applications, we have updated many of our permit application forms, and further revisions are likely. Please be sure you are always using the latest forms by downloading the form fresh each time you use it from www.skagitcounty.net/pdsforms.
Guemes Island Inspections Due to conflicts with propane trucks on the Guemes Ferry, we’re changing the days of the week we’re available for building inspections on Guemes Island to Tuesdays and Fridays, effective November 1. Until then inspections will continue to be on Wednesday and Friday mornings. As always, call 360-416-1330 to request inspections.
Charges for Application/Permit Revisions We’ve been getting an inordinate number of complex revisions to building permit applications and issued building permits. Substantial revisions can consume significant staff time, interrupt the progress of new application review, and prevent us from approving revisions quickly. To address this problem, on January 1 we will begin charging our $120/hour review rate for all revisions except those in response to our initial application review letter.

BIAW HEALTH INSURANCE CORNER Open Enrollment Season – Changes Bring Opportunities Let’s face it; the annual open enrollment process for selecting benefits is a tedious and often laborious one, not only for the HR team but for employees as well. Making benefit decisions is important and the selections made affect employees and families in a personal and financial way throughout the year. As employers across the country brace for open enrollment season, there are a few lessons learned that are worth sharing to make the process as seamless as possible. Make It 'Active' Instead of simply allowing employees to passively enroll in the same benefit plan they currently have, consider making the enrollment an “active” process. This means making each employee actively select the plan they want. This allows you to educate employees on the benefits you are offering, even if no changes are being made. Show Examples One of the best ways to explain the benefit plans to employees is by illustrating different scenarios that may play out. Specifically demonstrating how the benefit plan works if someone goes to the doctor, needs a prescription filled or has a more catastrophic issue can be more informative for employees than simply looking at numbers on a page. Insurance 101 Employers often take for granted that their employees understand the insurance lingo that is so commonly used. Take the time to explain what deductible, copay and coinsurance mean. It may sound simple, but many employees are unaware of even the most basic terminology. Communication is Key This is the one time a year where communicating to your employees on their benefit package can’t be overdone. Employers who engage, over communicate and actively seek out questions from their employees face far fewer concerns throughout the year. Start Early Starting the communication process as early as possible gives both the HR team and employees and their families enough time to make educated decisions. No one likes to feel rushed and year-long benefit decisions shouldn’t be made in a hurry. Get Help The BIAW Health Trust has a team of professionals dedicated to making the open enrollment process as smooth as possible. We are available for phone calls, questions, in-person meetings and strategy sessions to address any concerns you or your employees may have.

An Open Letter to all SICBA Members:
We need your help! We need more members like you. It’s easy to do – SICBA is a group that shares a common set of values and beliefs. We don’t all know each other, but we surround ourselves with people who believe as we do. And you do business with people/companies that share your set of values and beliefs.
Compare your Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable list with the current SICBA membership list online or in the “Home Tour” edition of the Referral Guide. Are you doing business with companies that are not current members of the Skagit/Island Counties Builders Association? If so, now is the time to invite them to become members.
Why should they join? For the same reasons you are a member. People don’t buy what you do, but why you do it. Share why you are a member, invite them to become part of SICBA and to support the industry that supports all of us. Download Membership Applications at https://sicba.org/member-benefits/become-a-member or call if you want us to mail or email you printed applications.
Be proud of your membership: contact the SICBA office if you would like additional SICBA decals on your business and vehicle, and/or electronic logos.
Ted Clifton, a nationally recognized Built Green® homebuilder and SICBA member, explains “Why am I a part of SICBA? Please note that I did not simply say "a member" of SICBA; I am a PART of SICBA. That is because I believe that by working together, for the common good, we can achieve far more for ourselves, our neighbors, and our industry than we ever could on our own. I believe in the value of what we do: we build homes, neighborhoods, communities, and successful lives. Parts of things work together with other parts to achieve a desired outcome. Be a PART of who we are, and what we do! Do not just JOIN SICBA, become a PART of SICBA!”
Please invite others to be part of the Skagit/Island Counties Builders Association – we are counting on your help!
