PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE I attended the FHBA Spring Legislative Conference on March 17th and 18th along with George Hansford and Carolyn Maimone. There is a lot happening in our state legislature and it has just begun. Stay alert to what is happening and coming at us. Get involved and be involved with your association. There is so much happening to us and around us. It takes each and every one of us to keep up and to keep our association running. There is strength in numbers if the numbers all take a part. This will help carry the load and accomplish the tasks that are before each of us. Think of the issue, question, and/or problem that you have had or are having. Someone else in this association has probably dealt with the same or similar situation or is also dealing with it currently. Actively participate! Help keep our association strong! Invite your colleagues, sub-contactors, suppliers, and others to join! Do business with fellow members! Let’s fight our battles together! There are different meetings happening at different times throughout the month. Participate! That is the only way you will get anything out of this association – by giving your time to it. General Membership meeting, Governmental Affairs meeting, Building Issues meeting, Remodelers/Green Building meeting, Sales and Marketing meeting, Parade of Homes meeting, Membership committee meeting, various event meetings, fund raiser meetings, etc. There is plenty in which to be involved. And it takes participation to keep things running – they don’t just happen. Our Fishing Tournament is this month and our Golf Tournament is coming up in May. Sign up and participate in the fun. Encourage those around you to come and join us also! Have a great month!

SALES AND MARKETING (SMC) Hello HBA of Lake/Sumter! Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mary Rhodes and I am your new Sales and Marketing Committee Chairperson. I have big shoes to fill following Jeanne Abernathy’s amazing run as your former Chairperson. She has assured me she will remain close by, as together and as a committee, we continue to build this great organization. Sales and marketing are in my blood. As Branch Manager of The Mortgage Firm I am constantly looking to build my business by targeting my sales and marketing dollars and thinking “outside the box”. As a committee we want to help you do the same! We are in the process of organ-
izing some great upcoming Morning “Buzz” meetings that we hope you will find valuable to building your business. We have a lot to look forward to as an industry as the economy continues to improve, interest rates stay low, and consumer sentiment stays positive. Your input is extremely valuable so please reach out to me if you would like to partner with us on our committee or if you have any ideas, topics, or special speakers you would like to hear. I would love to see the builders, realtors, and associates of our organization have an amazing successful year!
Mary Rhodes The Mortgage Firm Sales and Marketing Chairman
Governmental Affairs Our state legislature is in session. Many bills are coming out. Our state association is actively at work on the capitol. Three of us from our local association were there on Tuesday March 17th. We were able to sit down face-to-face with Senator Hays, Representatives Sullivan, Metz, and O’Toole and share some of our thoughts and desires on some of the bills that mater the most to our industry.. It was good talking to each of them. But YOU need to communicate with them also. There are bills concerning Building and fire codes, water policy, appropriations, construction liability, exactions, residential property associations, etc. If you don’t help your industry now, you may be left to deal with a bad piece of legislature when the bills become law.
Mike Carter Granger-Carter Construction and Development Interim Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman

The Excitement Continues Thank you Lakes of Mount Dora for being a great host to our Parade of Homes Awards Banquet and celebration of Building Excitement! Congratulations again to all the winners and participants in the 2015 Parade of Homes. And thank you sponsors for your continued support and a successful Parade. Ambassadors did a great job as liaisons between the HBA and Builders. Everyone I spoke with loved the idea, appreciated the extra attention and all the valuable information that was communicated in person leading up to our spectacular annual event. Some early reporting on traffic has most builders raving about the Parade. One builder I spoke with had 300 registered guests, 500 or more units of traffic, two contracts and a confirmed contract from a previous visit before the Parade, all from a single entry. Another builder was thrilled with close to 200 registered guests, over 300-400 units of traffic, several solid leads, and a few customers who just wanted to see more of his work. A third builder and first time Parade entrant was very pleased with steady activity, even on weekdays. I personally visited over half the entries and even some developments who didn't enter the Parade. One non-entry I visited admitted they made a mistake. Their community was located between two Parade entries receiving high volume traffic... but they had no traffic to speak of during the Parade. Our Dream Home by Kevco Builders experienced high volume traffic. I was there the first day before noon, on a damp rainy day. They already had about 50 people there and ended up with several hundred visitors during the Parade. Kevco had 4 new homes and a remodel entry, spread out all over the county in various price ranges. Joe Ziler, President of Kevco Builders, reported at the builder breakfast that he made 20 sales last year directly related to the 2014 Parade. This is the type of news that just gives you goose bumps. Thank you again Joe Ziler and Kevco Builders! Where do we go from here? We've already met to discuss how to make things better for 2016. Now's the time to get onboard and create some excitement for next year.
Save the date and start planning for the 2016 Parade. The Awards Banquet will be Friday February the 25th, and the Parade runs from Saturday, February 26 - Sunday, March 6, 2016. Until next month, follow up with all those leads and sell, sell, sell. Keep the faith and keep pushing on.

Community Service We appreciate those who participated in the BBQ fund raiser for the Habitat for Humanity Tavares Veteran Project that we hosted at the HBA office March 20th. It was sponsored by First International Title, with underwriter Chicago Title and Bryan & Kim Mahoney. It was a great success. More to come on that in our next newsletter! The Mount Dora High School Architectural Drafting Program and the Culinary Arts students are doing their Gala again this year. This is an event that the two groups join together to produce. They form six teams, plan a restaurant based on a particular theme, and compete with each other. This year the six themes are China, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, and Mexico. They design the restaurant, do a site plan, build a model, and cook food. The event is on Saturday May 2nd from 6PM – 8PM and tickets are $15. This is a tasting gala – you will judge the designs and food. Tickets may be purchased through Cindy Brisson, Architectural Drafting teacher, at Mount Dora High. Phone: (352) 383-2177, ext. 1232 . A few HBA members advise and help out with this Architectural Drafting program throughout the year.

The View from Tallahassee FHBA President's Report We just completed our 2015 Spring Legislative Conference in Tallahassee and what a success! Over 130 FHBA members made the pilgrimage to Tallahassee to visit with their legislators and distribute information on our priority bills. Our special events were also a success! FHBPAC 1,000 club members heard from Senate President Pro-Tempore Garrett Richter (RNaples) and Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam during a private dinner. And at the well-attended Legislative Reception, our members had another opportunity to mingle and lobby their local delegation. With all of this, and the new look and feel of our Legislative Leave Behind, several legislators’ commented that FHBA is on its way back politically. The exact effect of these mass visits by FHBA members is difficult to quantify. Perhaps it is just timing, luck or a direct result of our efforts, but the House Chairman’s budgets, announced on Wednesday, included continued funding for the septic tank study in the amount of $500,000 and continued funding for Future Builders of America in the amount of $250,000. This week, also, three of FHBA’s top priorities will get their first hearing in the Senate. Today, SB 850, the impact fee alternative bill by Sen. Hays (RUmatilla) will be heard in the Senate Community Affairs Committee. In addition SB 1232, the construction code bill, by Sen. Simpson (R-Trilby) will be heard in the Senate Health Policy Committee. Tomorrow, SB 284, the Koontz implementation bill, by Sen. Diaz de la Portilla (R-Miami) will be heard in Senate Environmental Preservation and Conservation Committee. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of Monday’s hearing on SB 850. FHBA has been seeking consideration of alternatives to impact fees for years. Though the efforts of Sen. Alan Hays (R-Umatilla) and Rep. Fred Costello (R-Port Orange) are not likely to result in final passage this year, a single hearing presents the opportunity to make the case for providing alternative funding sources and lay the ground work for eventual success. One thing is for certain; our visits definitely did not slow momentum. It was a fabulous day and made me proud to be a member. Thanks to all who attended and walked the capital in support of our issues. Just because spring conference is over, we cannot be complacent. We must stay vigilant when called to respond to grassroots alerts and communicate with our legislators when asked. The first third of session is promising, but to be successful, we must remain engaged for the entire nine weeks.

Lumber & Commodity News In last month’s column, I expressed concerns about the declines in the wood commodity markets noting that these markets were the best indicator as to the health and direction of the housing industry. I pointed out that by mid-March the spring selling season, or Christmas, should be in full swing for the markets. Well, Santa hasn’t come yet. In fact, it is beginning to look as if this scoundrel is on vacation. The Ro-Mac Lumber & Supply, Inc. Wood Commodity Index (Index) dropped 4.0 percent, or $12.60 per thousand, to $302.82 on a full retreat in the spruce markets. Many in the industry still open with a weather report when discussing why the housing market continues to remain subdued. Most fail to realize that in the three biggest states in the union the weather has been fine this winter. The dimensional lumber portion of the Index over the last 30 days dropped 8.5 percent to $332.28 per thousand. The search by mills for buyers pushed pricing lower as expectations for both imports and exports have not materialized for the year. The demand side of the equation is the dominant denominator. The sheathing side of the Index increased 0.3 percent to $280.81 per thousand. Tighter manufacturing availability pushed CDX pine plywood pricing up 3.1 percent on 5/8-inch. Single-digit increases occurred in the other thicknesses. OSB sheathing pricing drifted flat-to-lower as availability remained plentiful. The spread between pine plywood and OSB sheathing is over $300 per thousand, and it is reaching a point wherein some builders may reconsider the use of OSB products. The time is now to have a run on pricing. If in the next two weeks, or 30 days, pricing does not catch steam, builders should be real concerned about this year’s housing market. With that said, do not use the prices you have today to quote a project in mid-summer. If the winter weather has been the main deterrent to housing, then prices will rise quickly over the next 30 days. Let’s see if Santa Claus finally arrives for the housing market—we should know quickly.
