The Capitol Connection Q&A for Contractors By Shauna Krause, Capitol Services, Inc.
After more than 25 years assisting contractors, some questions still come up time and again. That’s primarily a result of several factors; including rumor, misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the law. The rules and regulations written are complex, and the way they are interpreted by the CSLB always a factor. As experts working daily with these regulations we know that what’s written doesn’t always mean the same thing to different people reading it…
Q: I think I’ve read about this in a past column, although it may have been some time ago. I’ve been reading the Capitol Connection for a number of years and for the first time I have a question.
We presently have about a dozen jobs going at one time throughout Northern California. Since the economy has bounced back we’ve been pretty busy. I was told by my attorney that in order to remain legal, I must, as the Responsible Managing Officer (RMO) physically be on each and every job site - no exceptions. I’m trying to efficiently run my company, so have project managers or superintendents assigned to oversee each project. Plus while I occasionally visit some job locations, how the heck could I possibly be in twelve places at once? Am I running afoul of the law as my attorney told me or is it acceptable to “oversee” each job while primarily working in my office? For your
information, I personally meet with all my supervisory employees on a regular basis.
A: Thank you for being a long-time reader. Plus, nice to hear that you’re keeping busy. While we cannot give you any legal advice, I think your attorney has likely reviewed B&P Code section 7068.1 which, in part states, “The person qualifying…shall be responsible for exercising that direct supervision and control of his or her employer’s or principal’s construction operations to secure compliance with…the rules and regulations of the board.”
He likely also reviewed CA Code of Regulations #823 (b) which for purposes of 7068.1, defines “direct supervision and control” as including “any one or combination of the following activities: supervising construction, managing construction activities by making technical and administrative decisions, checking on jobs for proper workmanship, or direct supervision on construction sites.”
Nowhere in any statute or regulation does it state or even imply that as the Responsible Managing Officer (RMO) you must “physically be on each and every job site.” It would be acceptable to supervise construction activities through your supervisory employees plus I assume you’re managing construction activities by making technical administrative decisions. I do not believe the CSLB expects an RMO to do the impossible and be on a dozen job sites at once. The key is that your company is complying with the rules and regulations of
the board and the fact that you regularly meet with your project managers should be adequate. (Records of these meetings might also be helpful in the future.)
This all being said, your attorney may be worried that a Judge may ignore the above and determine that the only way to comply with 7068.1 is to physically be on each and every job site. If this in fact were to ever become “the law” it would throw the biggest “monkey wrench” you’ve ever seen in to California’s multi-billion dollar construction industry and could grind thousands of construction projects to an immediate halt.
While knowledge is power, knowing where to go for the answers
is half the battle. Get expert assistance immediately when you call
I am surprised by the emails I see in my courtroom work. They rival what was in yesteryear,
on the high school bathroom wall, full of gossip, enmity, dripping with innuendo, but mainly, incomprehensible, if not handing out a “smoking gun” to your owner’s litigation attorney.
Yes, that’s right. During the project we spend hours pouring over the terms of the contract, negotiating all the fine points of the payment schedule and indemnity clause. At trial, the contract favors us, the facts favor us, but, damn, that email is now the projected to size of a movie screen on the courtroom wall for the jury to read over and over, dissect, and argue about. It’s not pretty. Actually, emails are no less than the lawyer full employment act – your “send” button.
Why though – why are emails exhalted to near oracle or DaVinci Code status, as the “aha” moment in a case, the email that a jury decides unmasks the “whole truth”, and solves the Kennedy Assassination once and for good?
The answer lies in two related concepts. One, everyone knows that when they write an email, they not thinking formally, but informally. Therefore, for others, they read your email as the unfarnished truth if you say something that hurts your interest, or takes a dig at someone, that’s the “real you.” It’s as if a jury or opposing party in a case views your worst, last minute rushed email as if an intimate confession to your minister, priest or rabbi – what you really think.
The second reason emails over-resonate with jurors is because of their
sexy intrigue – the same thing that makes an Agatha Christie “who dunnit” fascinating and participatory. What I mean is this: an email is a portal into someone else’s world, daily life, struggles and stress, in the moment, real time. In contrast, the contract, the formal correspondence, the submittals and RFI log, are dry, and are driven by tried and true formalistic structures that purposefully take emotion and the actor out of it. Project documentation come across like reading a technical manual on how to put together a vacuum cleaner; an email, is Shakespearean theatre, in seems to reveal motive, frailty, indeed, a seductive voyeurism. The reader gets to take a ride, into your mind, and fills it up with motives, avarice, incompetence, or whatever infills a story line – if you let it.
Texting, and social media are even worse – I have seen litigation opponents text downright awful things as if a verbal conversation, subject to “he said she said” vagueness, only to have to explain the bad text in a deposition. Really? You bet.
Have I scared you yet? I hope so.
What to do? Stop the blather. Treat emails like being a roofer – tie off, check your line, and have a spotter, and training before climbing the roof, and falling off.
I recommend very careful use of emails. This may seem pedestrian, but train your staff not to be reckless email drivers and texters. Don’t text and drive – how bout, don’t text and email except the facts. No blame. No blame game. No sidebars. No innuendo. Just the facts.
QUICK TIPS:For all critical communications, use the email as the envelope and attach a letter; take the time to draft the letter. The email can say, “see attached letter re the project schedule status, , will call to discuss.”
Guns Have Safety Locks - Why Doesn’t Your Computer’s ‘’send all’’ button?
by Mark J. Rice, MBA member and Construction Attorney
1. DO NOT SEND THE LETTER COLD; make the call to marry your “reasonable business voice” with the formal letter and
position you are taking. It’s amazing how much can get done that way, but not suprising someone at 4:30 pm on a Friday afternoon before Labor Day, with a nastigram.
2. SKIP “SEND ALL” WHENEVER POSSIBLE. You will invariably make a mistake and include someone you did not
intend. Oops.
3. RESTART AN EMAIL CHAIN, RATHER THAN “REPLY ALL”. Stand alone communications allow you to fashion your
communication from your point of view, not in a reactive way to the rest of the chain. Remember – if you are responding, its because you want to shift the communication. It’s hard to do that if you are daisy chaining along from the prior blather you are trying to re-direct.
4. THINK ABOUT YOUR MOTHER OR YOUR GRANDMOTHER WHEN YOU WRITE EMAILS; put her
photograph and last birthday card taped to your computer, or behind it.
I put Abe Lincoln’s portrait behind my computer, and that stare does me wonders – Abe was a master at writing the nasty letter in response, putting it away into his desk drawer, and never sending it. never. But he got it out of his system. Those days, it took many more steps to send a letter; staff had to manually make a copy, an envelope had to be written out in longhand, and the post was down the street. You had lots of time to second guess your venting and reconsider.
5. FINALLY, WAIT. Wait. Wait. Do not respond in kind – ever. That is your reptilian brain, like a hip hop slam with Eminem, or
a Tony LaRussa argument with a baseball umpire. Do not go there.
Remember the old adage, “the pen is mightier than the sword”? Today, the “pen” is mightier than “the send”. Try it. Slow down, write in longhand all important project messages, share it to get feedback, before attaching it to an email, coupled with a phone call. Do not get your pant leg caught in this bike chain.

Governor Acts on Some Bills As Deadline LoomsWith the constitutional deadline of Midnight, September 30th fast approaching, the governor has acted on several bills over the past week. I will be sending out a final report on the outcome of all of his actions as soon as possible after the deadline. Following is the latest information:
Signed
AB 52 Gatto - Native Americans: California Environmental Quality Act.Amendments were taken in the final hours of the session which resulted in a broad coalition removing their opposition to this measure. As signed, this bill will specify that a project with an effect that may cause a
substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, as defined, is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment. The bill would require a lead agency to begin consultation with a California Native American tribe that is traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the proposed project, if the tribe requested to the lead agency, in writing, to be informed by the lead agency of proposed projects in that geographic area and the tribe requests consultation, prior to determining whether a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or environmental impact report is required for a project.
For a Copy of the Bill go to: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB52&search_keywords=
AB 2188 (Muratsuchi) - Solar energy: permits.This bill was opposed by the League of California Cities and the California Municipal Utilities Association, because it gives preference to solar permits over other permits. Current law requires a city or county to administratively approve applications to install solar energy systems through the issuance of a building permit or similar nondiscretionary permit. Current law requires a solar energy system for heating water to be certified by the Solar Rating Certification Corporation or
another nationally recognized certification agency. This bill would specify that these provisions address a statewide concern. The bill would require a city, county, or city and county to adopt, on or before September 30, 2015, in consultation with specified public entities an ordinance that creates an expedited, streamlined permitting process for small residential rooftop solar energy systems, as specified.
For a Copy of the Bill go to:http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB2188&search_keywords=
AB 2516 (Gordon) - Sea level rise planning: databaseWill require, on or before January 1, 2016, the Natural Resources Agency, in collaboration with the Ocean Protection Council, to create, update biannually , and post on an Internet Web site a Planning for Sea Level Rise Database describing steps being taken throughout the state to prepare for, and adapt to, sea level rise.

GOVERNOR SIGNS MORE BILLS AS DEADLINE TO ACT DRAWS NEARby Phil Vermeulen, MBA Legislative Advocate
SB 985 (Pavley) - Stormwater resource planning.Will authorize one or more public agencies to develop a storm water resource plan. The bill would expand the standards to include dry weather runoff. This bill would require a storm water resource plan to be submitted to any applicable regional water management group, to identify and prioritize storm water and dry weather runoff capture projects for implementation in a prescribed quantitative manner, and to prioritize the use of lands or easements in public ownership for storm water and dry weather runoff projects. This bill would eliminate the requirement that a storm water resource plan be consistent with any applicable integrated regional water management plan.

Update on Cal/OSHA Hearing On Proposed Changes to Heat Illness StandardsIn a San Diego hearing room with over 100 people in attendance yesterday, the Cal OSHA Standards Board took copious notes on testimony about why the existing heat illness standards are more than adequate; and conversely from others as to why the standards need to be updated. About 60 people in total testified with the vast majority opposing any changes, while only around 12 supported the proposed changes. Most of the oppositions’ remarks focused on the lack of demonstrated necessity, vagueness/lack of clarity and concerns with policy changes. Of particular note was the testimony of three high ranking officials from Cal Fire – the third largest fire department in the country. The Cal Fire
physician said that the proposal is in essence making medical decisions which they cannot illegally do.
The board then held a discussion about the proposal and the testimony that they heard. There was wide spread agreement from the board members that much more work needs to be done IF any changes to the existing standards will be approve. The likely outcome of this will be a revised proposal that will include a 15-day notice for the public to respond to the revisions. Stay tuned.
Want to Know If there have been Gas Leaks in Your Local Area?
One of my colleagues from the Common Ground Alliance sent me a link that allows you to locate recent gas leaks and/or events within your local area by entering your zip code number. To access this information go to:
No-party California Voters Nearly One-quarter of ElectorateThe Sacramento Bee reported this week that voters without a party preference make up almost one-quarter of California’s registered voters – a state record – outnumbering registered Republicans in a dozen counties, according to new registration numbers released Tuesday by the secretary of state’s office.
As of Sept. 5, 23.1 percent of the state’s 17.6 million registered voters have no-party preferences, the third-largest group of voters in the state. That is up almost 2 percentage points since two weeks before the June primary election.
Democratic registration stands at 43.43 percent and Republican registration is 28.23 percent. Both shares are virtually unchanged from four months ago.
San Francisco has the greatest share of no-party preference voters, at 31 percent, followed bySanta Clara (29.7 percent) and San Diego County(27 percent.) No-party registration exceeds Republican registration in San Francisco and 11 other counties: Santa Clara, Lake, San Mateo, Yolo, Imperial, Mendocino, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz,Marin, Sonoma, Alameda.California’s most Democratic county is San Francisco, where Democratic registration is 55.8 percent. The most Republican county is Modoc, where Republicans make up 49.8 percent of the electorate
Congress Recesses for November Elections and Must Hear From Everyone about Need to Address Highway Trust FundMembers of the House and Senate left Washington, D.C., to hit the campaign trail full time and aren’t expected to return until mid-November. With all House seats and one-third of the Senate on the ballot November 4, there will be no shortage of candidates for federal office in your state and community over the next six weeks. It is imperative that current members of Congress and those seeking election for the first time hear loudly and often about the need to permanently stabilize and grow Highway Trust Fund revenues.
While Congress acted at the end of July to avert a shutdown of the federal highway and transit programs, the solution only preserves investment through May 2015. As a result, the trust fund will be facing its sixth revenue shortfall at the beginning of the 2015 construction season. The best way to end
this cycle of crisis after crisis is to make sure all candidates hear from you how damaging continued uncertainty is to your business and your state’s economy.
Background:Over the past 10 years, on average, the federal highway program has provided 52 cents of every $1 dollar invested by state DOTs in highway and bridge capital improvements.The source of that money, the federal HTF, is operating on a revenue stream that has not been adjusted in more than two decades.As a result, the trust fund has suffered five revenue shortfalls in the last seven years.The next HTF cash crisis will occur in May 2015, just at the beginning of the busy construction season.
The continued uncertainty about federal surface transportation funds is hindering the ability of the states to plan and the private sector to deliver needed infrastructure improvements.Points to Get Across to Candidates for the U.S. House and Senate:
If you believe that Congress needs to act, you should speak with your local congressional candidates. Start off by telling them your name, your company name, where it is located, the number of people employed, and what projects your company is working on in their area. Then tell them: You appreciate their taking action at the end of July to keeping highway and transit funds flowing to the states.But that does not mean the job is done.Congress needs to enact a long-term, sustainable revenue solution for the Highway Trust Fund before the end of 2014.Otherwise, the Highway Trust Fund will again
face a solvency crisis in early 2015. In sum, it’s time for Congress to enact a permanent fix for the Highway Trust Fund!
Contractors State License Board Launches New, Optimized WebsitePages easily scale to computers, tablets, and smart phones
The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) has become one of the first California state government agencies to utilize cutting-edge technology during the construction of its new website (www.cslb.ca.gov). As one who uses the website daily, I can attest that the new site is SIGNIFICANTLY better and much easier to use!This revision brings CSLB’s online presence up to the latest version of state website standards, automatically changing and optimizing the display of any page on any device, including tablets and smart phones.
“Visitors to our website now can access more information while using a multitude of electronic devices,” said CLSB Registrar Steve Sands. “We’ve received positive feedback from users who love being able to find CSLB’s most popular links on the home page, or just a click or two away.”
Along with technology updates, CSLB was able to condense and reorganize website contents, allowing users to quickly and efficiently identify and navigate to desired information. For example, CSLB’s Instant License Check has become truly “instant” with the ability to search a license number directly from our home page.
A Google Translate feature was added to the website so users can easily translate text to
their language of choice.
Together, CSLB’s Public Affairs and Information Technology staff redesigned the 1,700 page website, and successfully launched its new product on September 5, 2014.

Driver Safety—Skills, Compliance and Safety
Good drivers are skillful, law-abiding and safety-conscious.
When drivers fail to focus on driving responsibilities, disregard laws and take chances, they put everyone at risk. In order to be a good driver, you must build your skills through training and practice, comply with the law and be safety-focused.
Train and practice:
• Some people do not react well to different driving conditions. In most cases, poor driving behaviors result from a lack of training and practice.
• If you are not skilled in a maneuver, find the right method and practice until you can execute it perfectly.
• Areas that may require extra practice include: − Backing up. − Negotiating turns at
intersections. − Handling skids.
Obey the laws: • A true professional is familiar with
all applicable laws and ordinances. • A responsible driver also knows all
of the company rules, regulations and policies that relate to driving for work.
• Knowing the rules is still not enough—the rules must be observed.
Be safety-focused:
• Be proactive and vigilant about your responsibilities and safety. • Promote a positive, safe driving culture. • Be willing to accept suggestions. • Adhere to rules and procedures, even when under pressure. • Be prepared to: − Confront others in a constructive manner when rules are not followed. − Inform and educate co-workers and individuals in the work groups by offering
proactive suggestions for improvement.
To be a professional in any field requires hard work, training and practice. With effort, you can become a skilled driver.

Seguridad del conductor—Habilidades, cumplimiento y seguridad
Los buenos conductores son hábiles, respetuosos de la ley y conscientes de la seguridad.
Cuando los conductores no se enfoquen en las responsabilidades de conducción, ignoran las leyes y corren los riesgos, ponen a todos en peligro. Para ser un buen conductor, debe aumentar sus habilidades por medio de la capacitación y la práctica, cumplir con la ley y centrarse en la seguridad.
Capacitarse y practicar:
• Algunas personas no reaccionan bien a las diferentes condiciones de conducción. En la mayoría de los casos, los comportamientos de conducción pobres resultan de la falta del entrenamiento y la práctica.
• Si no es experto en una maniobra, encuentre el método correcto y practíquelo hasta que pueda ejecutarlo de manera perfecta.
• Las áreas que puedan requerir práctica adicional incluyen: − Retroceder. − Realizar giros en las
intersecciones. − Manejar al patinar.
Obedecer las leyes: • Un verdadero profesional está
familiarizado con todas las leyes y los reglamentos aplicables.
• Un conductor responsable también conoce todas las reglas, las regulaciones y las políticas de la organización que se relacionan con la conducción para el trabajo.
• Conocer las reglas no es suficiente, se deben observar las reglas.
Centrarse en la seguridad:
• Sea proactivo y vigilante sobre sus responsabilidades y la seguridad. • Promueva una cultura de manejo positivo y seguro. • Esté dispuesto a aceptar sugerencias. • Cumpla con las normas y los procedimientos, incluso cuando está bajo presión. • Esté preparado para: − Enfrentar a los demás de una manera constructiva cuando no se siguen las reglas. − Informar y educar a los compañeros de trabajo y las personas en los grupos de trabajo,
ofreciendo sugerencias proactivas para mejorar.
