HBA Presidential Year in Review
2016 HBA President
Jeff Schmidt
RLP Development
Upon reflection, 2016 seems to have been
a year that was filled with many challenges
and many accomplishments for our
organization. During my installation speech
last January I challenged every member to
recruit one new member this year. That did
not occur, however, we did realize an
increase in membership and an average of
90% retention, which reverses a declining
number over the past several years. Thank
you to the new members that helped us
achieve this success and the members that
recruited them.
What I would consider the most unfortunate loss to our region, was
the decision to build the next NGA site in north St. Louis. It was a
huge disappointment not only for members of our association, but
for the entire Metro East. However, the Municipal Assistance
Committee was instrumental in working with Edwardsville, Glen
Carbon and Madison County on revising the I-55 Development
Code which was adopted in July of this year. They also have been
involved with other municipalities providing input and guidance as
their committees and boards navigate the complexities of adopting,
in whole or part, building codes and ordinances. Most recently,
Troy , IL is revising their Subdivision Ordinance and our committee
is there providing guidance and expertise to assist them.
Our Professional Women in Building Council continues to impress.
Hosting private lunches with Troy Mayor Allen Adomite and
O’ Fallon Mayor Gary Graham. They also held their inaugural
“Power Women Luncheon” featuring two very successful women,
from the state of Illinois, Colonel Laura L. Lenderman, SAFB and
Kristina Rasmussen, President and COO of the Illinois Policy
Institute. These along with other activities have raised thousands
of dollars allowing them to provide scholarships for local female
students in the home building and remodeling industries.
The New Homes on Parade Open House Event with the
implementation of “Parade Craze”, an app downloaded on a smart
phone; not only was successful and reached even more potential
home buyers, especially millennials.
Our local HBA published the “Building Industry Laws You Should
Know” book and provided this to all members. This will continue to
be a benefit to members for years to come.
On a national level in 2016, Home Builder and Developer, Ed
Brady, from Bloomington, IL served as Chairman of the National
Association of Home Builders and is being considered for the next
commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration. The
Presidential election gives us President Donald Trump, with his
significant background in the building industry. While addressing
NAHB attendees at the mid-year meeting in August zeroed in on
issues of concern to the industry, particularly regulations that he
said today represent 25% of the cost of building a home. He
indicated that he would declare a temporary moratorium on new
agency regulations and lower the cost for homebuilders.
On the state level our own Mark Vogt, Vogt Builders has moved up
the HBAI leadership to become its Treasurer. Tracy Butler our
Executive Officer received the “Presidents Award” from outgoing
President Dean Graven, for her work on the afore mentioned book.
Earlier this year Bob Dee Jr., Homes by Deesign, represented us
in a roundtable discussion consisting of MetroEast business
owners with Governor Rauner.
Finally, we will once again be honored with providing assistance to
our members of the armed forces during the return of the Air Show
& Open House as Scott Air Force Base celebrates 100 years of
continuous operation.
As much as we have accomplished this year, many are left out of
this review, I feel we have set into motion many other exciting
improvements to our organization; that will come to fruition in the
coming months and years. It has been an honor and a privilege to
have been given this opportunity to serve you and I look forward to
the many changes that new leadership will bring. God Bless all of
you, your families and businesses. I feel most would be
disappointed if I did not end this with a hearty, “GO BIG RED”!

Federal Judge Blocks Overtime Rule
 In a major victory for NAHB, a federal judge in Texas on Nov. 22 granted a preliminary
injunction to delay implementation of the Department of Labor’s new overtime rule.
 The rule, which was scheduled to take effect Dec. 1, would double the minimum salary limit
from $23,660 to $47,476.
 NAHB joined other business groups in filing a legal challenge to the overtime rule on Sept. 20
in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. In addition, 21 states have also
filed suit challenging the rule and the two lawsuits have been consolidated.
 While the injunction is only temporary, the ruling by Judge Amos Mazzant sent a strong signal
that he could likely side with NAHB and our business coalition.
 Had the rule gone into effect on Dec. 1, it would have had significant ramifications for many
employers, including home building firms and not-for-profits, such as HBAs.
 According to NAHB analysis, nearly 100,000 construction supervisors would be eligible for
overtime under the new rules.
 As NAHB keeps working toward permanent relief, we will continue to provide our members
with the tools they need to comply with the new overtime requirements in the event that the
court rules against NAHB, our business coalition and the 21 state attorneys general.
For more information, contact Suzanne Beall at 800-368-5242 x8407.
NAHB’s Legal Victory Blocks “Persuader” Rule
 NAHB scored an important legal victory on Nov. 16 when the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Texas granted the association and other groups a permanent stay on the
Department of Labor’s final “persuader” rule.
 The rule would unfairly discourage employers from receiving confidential legal advice concerning
union organizing because it required employers to disclose the names of lawyers and
consultants to the Department of Labor (DOL).
 In short, unions were seeking to prevent employers from talking to their lawyers in response
to union organizing. The court ruling essentially puts an end to the union effort.
 With the permanent judgment now in place, the persuader rule will not go into effect unless
DOL appeals and a higher court overrules the lower court decision.

H׉ENo Quick Fixes for Builders as Trump Administration Takes Shape
 NAHB is hard at work to assure that our members’ priorities are addressed when the new
Trump administration takes over on Jan. 20.
 However, even when those priorities are in alignment with Trump’s campaign platform, none
of these changes can take place overnight.
 Some, tied up in litigation or involving multiple agencies and branches of government, may
take years.
 Regardless, NAHB government affairs, regulatory and legal staff is already preparing.
 Leaders have had extensive discussions and sent background information to the Trump team
about a number of significant issues, including President Obama’s executive order that drastically
changes development rules in and around floodplains.
 Though NAHB cannot be certain as to what will change, or how quickly changes will occur,
the association sees the new administration and Republican-controlled Congress as a tremendous
opportunity.
 NAHB’s advocacy team is well-prepared to respond to the new political environment.
 Read NAHB’s analysis for a closer look at the 2016 election results.

The index, which measures
builder confidence in the market
for newly built single-family
homes, held steady at 63 in
November, the same level as the
October reading of 63. Any
number over 50 indicates that
more builders view sales
conditions as good than poor.
NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz’s analysis: “A solid job market, a growing
economy and attractive mortgage rates are supporting demand in the single-family housing sector
and will keep the housing recovery on a gradual, upward trajectory as we head into next year.
However, builders in many markets continue to face supply-side constraints, particularly as they
relate to the high-cost and lack of availability of lots and labor.”

& Energy CONSERVATION Code Updates
Fire sprinkler mandates will stay in the International Residential Code, but builders and developers will see other
construction cost savings after more than 162,000 votes were cast for 577 proposals on the ballot for the International
Code Council’s 2016 Online Governmental Consensus Vote, which ended Nov. 27.
After weeks of phone calls and personal visits, NAHB members were successful in pushing the results to reflect the
point of view of the code official, rather than that of the product manufacturer.
“This shows the value of our association as the consistent voice for safe, cost-effective construction – and being the
voice for home buyers,” said NAHB Construction, Codes and Standards Chairman Phil Hoffman.
The preliminary results await a January audit and confirmation by the ICC Board of Directors. Here are the highlights
International Residential Code (IRC)
RB17-16 revises the seismic design category map,
moving some areas of the country into in a higher
category. NAHB opposed this proposal, but it was
approved. Estimated Increase: $2,483-$6,196 per
house.
RB19-16 would have revised the ground snow load
map. Affected regions would have required thicker roof
sheathing and changes to rafters and headers. NAHB
opposed this proposal, and it was defeated. Estimated
Savings: $1,014-$1,652 per house.
RB26-16 & RB27-16 would have significantly
increased the design live load for decks and balconies of
homes to support 60psf instead of the current 40psf
requirement. NAHB opposed these proposals, and they
were defeated. Estimated Savings: $75-$154 per house.
RB52-16 would have required duplexes that are
divided by a legal lot line to be separated by two
independent, one-hour fire-resistance-rated walls,
instead of a single, two-hour fire-resistance-rated wall.
NAHB opposed this proposal, and it was defeated.
Estimated Savings: $1,097 – $3,803 per house.
RB129-16 would have removed the requirement to
install a fire sprinkler system from Section R313 of the
IRC and moved it into a new optional appendix. NAHB
supported this proposal, but it was disapproved.
Estimated Increase: $6,026 per house (If adopted
locally).
RB278-16 would have required that either an
airspace or a manufactured rainscreen product be
installed behind the siding on homes in wet climate
zones. NAHB opposed this proposal, and it was
defeated. Estimated Savings: $286-$3,680 per house.
14
International Energy Conservation Code
(IECC)
RE35-16 would have increased the requirements for
the energy efficiency of windows. NAHB opposed the
proposal, and it was defeated. Estimated Savings: $584$1,563
per house.
RE58-16 would have removed the mandatory 3 and 5
ACH50 building tightness requirements and made it
possible to trade-off building tightness in the
performance path without reducing the stringency of the
code. Unfortunately, this proposal was defeated.
RE79-16 would have modified the IECC air barrier
table by adding a new requirement to fully encapsulate
rim joist insulation. NAHB opposed this proposal, and it
was defeated. Estimated Savings: $351-$555 per house
RE134-16 would have allowed mechanical equipment
trade-offs. If more efficient equipment is specified, the
envelope insulation levels can be reduced by up to 15%.
If this code change had been approved, the potential
savings would have been $217-$1,425 per house.
RE173-16 brings the ERI values more in line with the
IECC prescriptive path. The values will still be about 2025%
more stringent than the prescriptive path. The
current values in the 2015 IECC are about 30-35% more
stringent than the prescriptive path. NAHB supported
this code change, and it was approved.
CE105-16 would have required air leakage testing by
fan pressurization for buildings over a certain size and in
specific climate zones. NAHB opposed this proposal,
and it was defeated. Estimated Savings: $2,000-$10,000
per multifamily building.
