Contractors and owners in Illinois should now include interior design professionals in their list of sub-contractors from whom they should require a release of mechanic’s lien upon payment. Permits for new construction that are issued by the Village of Glen Carbon will have a requirement in the inspection process to stake the “lowest point of entry” out and be verified when that point of construction comes into play. This may be prior to the time a walk out basement floor is poured or if a full basement is on the site when the foundation wall is poured. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to survey that elevation and have it clearly posted. The Village of Glen Carbon will also be rolling out a new process for inspections regarding new construction & remodels. We will be utilizing a software program to document inspections. We will still leave a printed report on site. Someone “must be present” at the location where an inspection is scheduled at the time of the inspection. It is not required that a particular trade subcontractor or the general contractor be present. The party onsite for the inspection may be required to sign that they were present for the inspection and they received a printed report. This particular change will roll out in the Month of September 2018. If you have any questions feel free to call Glen Neal, Building Inspector. 2 ׉ 7cassandra://S0ZKVh5cc5ebxNEaiB0hmAjEBvHSnV_hatSFHc2s2pA2`[rQM81׉E3 ׉ 7cassandra://IBIeT0j6B7Rmo9D6cNesfv5AtBDwR5Ycpy8toZ-A9z8$y`[rQM82[rQM81(בCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://6AdXIQKVd09b1r60USBGXsmt5OViGqT6DkyQOM5TAWY:`׉ 7cassandra://gEfAEsJTbw4qn-4MevwNGfdZG2N1-4GoDgjuqP_QTMI͖Q`s׉ 7cassandra://qqaH2M6EPV5E3B8l8ss8_7fegBDoUqTEc4P_BhmW6gQ/:`׉ 7cassandra://lAx1hZPg1TyDg9Q8XTamOsWo3v_SVK9BhAel601IZGE͠][rQM8Iט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://E-doPGUWrfrGdtD6_CdRwu0FNQhjn0Q9FNlhP9phExE`׉ 7cassandra://uEGsj8MavftUSRBTtRMLM_Zab6UXoqyzw2It2deQhMMw`s׉ 7cassandra://qdNC6O64ZQWOeeEd1OvJBDLLlnx9O6olji0Q_cFvA0o(`׉ 7cassandra://r3R_zg2148T7-hpgJb9L__tHp7t9MTpvg6xyOvRvJMUB͠][rQM8J׉E4 ׉ 7cassandra://qqaH2M6EPV5E3B8l8ss8_7fegBDoUqTEc4P_BhmW6gQ/:`[rQM83׉E5 ׉ 7cassandra://qdNC6O64ZQWOeeEd1OvJBDLLlnx9O6olji0Q_cFvA0o(`[rQM84[rQM83(בCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://jKP0BWH--o_iKoIF17WsUAYNaWK5AaHBjaYFpZnG4pA`׉ 7cassandra://PhpJSRvAUoT-rohNmAb-CNUCMb4ijwNcOTWiPhhzvDEtR`s׉ 7cassandra://Oi5BZhDyNIhR42SOUlMWDw_O843M9NYSeFkuSM3BGwY#`׉ 7cassandra://XN_ElCh0-EBkrWYh-8_jwQ1wyDCqruJ_ojXisFlKdWQ͠][rQM8Lט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://A0GB2z4_8eMtG_X2II1m4dEv4k9IbrUSOXANopsLqhk`׉ 7cassandra://91WHu540_zAkH5VlnbBHlEPtmQWDjrjaZ12JMZw3CEw͌=`s׉ 7cassandra://BenjMFy1k2VAKD4n6VqUQMCQvMbnpU3Gdnzp2hlAohw.`׉ 7cassandra://egkLxXwgt_eg4a5O3UAKkRcGgrJiIHlB94wByhBb_9sC͠][rQM8M׉E6 ׉ 7cassandra://Oi5BZhDyNIhR42SOUlMWDw_O843M9NYSeFkuSM3BGwY#`[rQM85׉E7 ׉ 7cassandra://BenjMFy1k2VAKD4n6VqUQMCQvMbnpU3Gdnzp2hlAohw.`[rQM86[rQM85(בCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://LlORh07B1vUhXhQKy3n8pCG_FlmQ7Nfjvbqy8Os2zs4`׉ 7cassandra://_mr6sxz0yNMuytX471SMJcF_NLoOU91253f7cmFyJpgͼ`s׉ 7cassandra://H4O2BOE_UHPMEJyLV8UeGTAMjI_ifdnWVTG1McjW5wQ0k`׉ 7cassandra://YffTYztl0yC9ZFxqwFbXIRb5aeuTrinEsdiEN83zrm8c͠][rQM8Pט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://aepY6yhiML1oZnSaY2H0YmELMx4vUWJ-teS7fyrLhx4R`׉ 7cassandra://BUJX63HoLzW47w62-Gfk_hllyCyVp_T_xQ37WY51RTQv#`s׉ 7cassandra://OPIgrUj7gEirhn4KfrsiVw5NW1Q14L9sOZSswbOMo-k)1`׉ 7cassandra://AiVd4TKV2JrY_uGQqpOLedWYjigKGm29FrAXcIP_ZUcy͠][rQM8Q׉EPainful Truths from the Illinois Policy Institute Belleville spent more than $2.5M on workers’ comp settlements in less than 5 years -Vincent Caruso Illinois industry shoulders the burden of the highest workers’ compensation costs in the region. But what many Illinoisans paying some of the nation’s highest property taxes may not realize is that they’re picking up the tab for those costs, too. The city of Belleville offers one example of the high price of workers’ comp for local governments. Since 2013, Belleville has spent more than $2.5 million on workers’ comp settlements, according to city records of Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission contracts. In 2018 alone, the city has so far spent $420,000 settling workers’ comp claims. Between 2013 and 2018, Belleville’s costliest year for workers’ comp payouts was 2016, during which the city spent $662,000 on workers’ comp settlements. The claims vary widely in their severity and cost. One claim settled in 2013 involving a worker “hit by a car while collecting signs” resulted in a payout of $26,100. Meanwhile, a comparatively less serious claim filed that year resulting from “lifting a heavy garbage can” earned one worker a $125,000 settlement. Many cases in which workers reported sustaining only mild injuries, and returned to work the next day, nonetheless resulted in large workers’ comp settlements, records show. One worker who reported an injury sustained while landing awkwardly exiting a firetruck collected $39,750. Another worker who reported an injury after pulling a hose collected $24,000. Both returned to work the day after their respective incidents. In fact, more than 35 percent of workers who received a workers’ comp payout between 2013 and 2018 returned to work the day after the reported accident date – amounting to nearly $360,000 in settlements. A city of Belleville human resources official confirmed payouts for workers’ comp settlements are paid directly by the city, unless a settlement surpasses $250,000, in which case insurance coverage kicks in. To be sure, workers sustaining the most extreme injuries – “dealing with a combative juvenile” or “trying to remove a door at a fire” – were more likely to receive six-figure settlements. However, comparably ambiguous and modest claims – “testing heavy equipment” or “hauling hose line” – also delivered at least $100,000. Five workers who reported “repetitive trauma” received between $19,300 and $33,000. Workers’ comp insurance as well as provisional income injured workers receive while off the job collectively cost state and local governments $1 billion each year in Illinois, a 2017 Illinois Policy Institute report found. And local governments bear the brunt of this mandate, shouldering $727 million of that nine-figure annual bill. The state’s costly workers’ comp law is no fault of individual workers. Rather, it’s state lawmakers who have failed to reform it to bring costs in line with surrounding states. A 2015 report by Illinois’ Local Government Consolidation and Unfunded Mandates Task Force found workers’ comp to be the third-most burdensome unfunded mandate for municipalities. This runs parallel to the effect the state’s workers’ comp law has on the private sector, driving businesses across state lines toward more practical regulatory environments. While it’s necessary to have a system in place through which workers are made whole for workplace accidents, Illinois’ workers’ comp law has failed to evolve with the changing landscape of modern workplace environments. Originating in 1911, an era in which workplace danger was commonplace, Illinois’ workers’ comp law was established to guarantee medical coverage and replacement income to workers temporarily immobilized in the event of a work-related injury. But as innovations have transformed the workplace – and therefore workers’ needs – Illinois’ workers’ comp law has remained a century behind. Illinois would stand to gain from rehabilitating its workers’ comp system to better reflect the workplace of the modern age. By simply bringing costs in line with neighboring states, lawmakers would attract investment from the private sector as well as generate needed taxpayer savings. Positive reforms would include limiting Illinois’ maximum wage replacement rate to 100 percent of the state’s average weekly wage, and tying the medical fee schedule to Medicare reimbursement rates or private insurance reimbursement rates. Reforming the state’s outmoded workers’ comp system would free up public funds, allowing municipalities – including Belleville – to introduce tax relief and strengthen core services while preserving worker safety. 8 ׉ 7cassandra://H4O2BOE_UHPMEJyLV8UeGTAMjI_ifdnWVTG1McjW5wQ0k`[rQM87׉E׉ 7cassandra://OPIgrUj7gEirhn4KfrsiVw5NW1Q14L9sOZSswbOMo-k)1`[rQM88[rQM87(בCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://eHoSn_GtuFxOUntGWfZ0ynN01wcOo11GxaucMeTREmsR`׉ 7cassandra://Q5zvP1Su1VwvWrewOdTrfkkaKdVlmIZszBakaw1HWPQ͚`s׉ 7cassandra://J165ZEA79t7Pkl7oP3NZuLX34AOa7BG7YyI-2NG3mTU2``׉ 7cassandra://WhUSza31yU2rYkrjyhySmzKFTDfLMg6_SvsfR0LcHIYp͠][rQM8Sט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://sFBPQnWaRESUUyzYTgaFortnWd8IppW4KjbpGs28jpo`׉ 7cassandra://4CNb4iOS4hyDh5_FYsDAByJjP6unL1xemqC4vc8EGY0Y`s׉ 7cassandra://fuXJii0CapQC5Ctv0_jzLgx8OYRf9F2HGTQ4J-mHGOk -`׉ 7cassandra://pkxXtTE_yQ5HByl1l1QpbTOaBwWnmA6Q3HMfLesORco͠][rQM8T׉EAugust 2018 Renewed Members Absolute Specialty Services, Inc. - 13 years AUTCO Home Appliances - 8 years CMI Construction - 11 years D&F Home Builders - 19 years Eagle Flooring - 5 years Fischer Lumber Co. - 22 years Homes by Deesig n - 8 years Metro Marble & Granite - 1 year Negwer Materials, Inc. - 18 years Providence Bank (affiliate) - 1 year RE/MAX Alliance (affiliate) - 1 year RE/MAX Preferred - The Markham Network - 14 years RE/MAX Results - 1 year Weyerhaeuser - 2 years Remodelers Council CMI Construction Helitech Waterproofing & Structural Repair Henges Interiors P&A Drywall Professional Women in Building Council Fulford Homes, LLC 10 ׉ 7cassandra://J165ZEA79t7Pkl7oP3NZuLX34AOa7BG7YyI-2NG3mTU2``[rQM89׉E11 ׉ 7cassandra://fuXJii0CapQC5Ctv0_jzLgx8OYRf9F2HGTQ4J-mHGOk -`[rQM8:[rQM89(בCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://ewqjrXA4FiK6gNUEXP2xgl3Mi_2QqKdezwvFS8Wlk4Y7j`׉ 7cassandra://DkqM1_1mGht9u4PN0q00jxUi7yDSKGF25hk2L4BvBSk̓5`s׉ 7cassandra://CbBpI4BcPNxDBgEw5UiwevpN8uxq9DhZhgscmirTcOM+}`׉ 7cassandra://YsbCymgZeQMDdxxuStI45tF8bFUSx9uXMeWqcyk0tooa6͠][rQM8Vט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://HdzcyIHdKD08C9GtlqU1Fty7aGNECAK8ulu-YDpxX_4p`׉ 7cassandra://5F9-8sL6ToemA96EEceuji_xCPXP3C7lEQrqRknmEJMx_`s׉ 7cassandra://Xr8YlA5vS7_yVeLamm2Rtr5Gr3-g7jLUlWcl_1_nXL8+Q`׉ 7cassandra://WxGRInJeISZZZFM_xocU_cLY7tAxR1Bxg2Zmi7rRF-8͉͠][rQM8Wנ[rQM8[Vځ̊9ׁHmailto:hba@hbaswil.orgׁ ׁ Ј׉E&You belong to THREE HBA organizations with your single membership.
