What a whirlwind the first few months of 2017 have been as it relates to government in Kentucky! With Republicans being whisked into power, taking control of the House, maintaining control of the Senate and with a Republican Governor in place, this group wasted no time getting to work. Here are some of the highlights that will benefit Kentucky, our businesses, and our industry. Right to Work: This new law, which passed in the first week of the session, changed the business culture of our state in one fell swoop. Kentucky joined our neighboring states by saying that Kentucky is open for business. This was one of the BIA’s top legislative priorities going into 2017.
“Kentucky joined our neighboring states by saying that Kentucky is open for business.” Prevailing Wage Repeal: The BIA’s legislative priority was to raise the prevailing wage threshold in order to make state construction projects more affordable and to spend taxpayer money more efficiently. Well the Legislature did one better; Kentucky repealed prevailing wage altogether, which analysts say will translate to a 20% savings on all state construction jobs! Appeals Bond Legislation: Passed out of the Senate and the House, literally at the 11th hour of the legislative session, HB 72 makes it more difficult to file frivolous lawsuits, simply to delay or stop, already approved zoning cases. This will be a major victory for economic development in Kentucky, as well as our industry.
Workforce Development: With the outstanding leadership of Annie Dutton, VP of Government Affairs with the BIA, we are making inroads in expanding construction trades training in our schools, and the legislature is working to allow the state’s KEES (Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship) money to be applied for construction vocational schools.
“These are just a few of the many issues we support that will have a positive effect on our industry.” These are just a few of the many issues we support that will have a positive effect on our industry. While the 2017 session may have concluded, the work likely hasn’t ended. Be watching for a special session to be called by Governor Bevin to address our antiquated state tax code and our pension system. UPward and ONward! If it were not for your financial commitment to our association, we would not achieve these successes at the legislative level. Thank you for your commitment by maintaining your membership in our association. Sincerely,
John Miranda Chair, Government Affairs Committee

“Ryan was super excited. Her mouth remained wide open in shock for a long time. When I asked her what the best part was she said, ‘Everything!’ She didn’t want to leave it. I gave her the ‘keys’ to her house and she started showing them to everyone.” - Brad Hicks, Bradley Construction
BICF Playhouse Reveal Demonstrates the Power of Doing for Others by Stacy Smith Rogers If the power of doing for others can be demonstrated in one afternoon, it would have been the afternoon of March 30, 2017 at the YouthBuild Louisville campus when two deserving children were able to see playhouses designed specifically for them for the first time. The collective synergy of being a part of something so special can be a catalyst for continuing to seek opportunities to do for others, and the experience had everyone there wanting to give back more. The long-standing partnership between the BIA’s Building Industry Charitable Foundation (BICF), Kosair Charities, and YouthBuild Louisville has played a valuable role in the Louisville community, offering special needs children a backyard escape where childhood is celebrated, and limitations are briefly forgotten. Over the years, playhouses have been built for families selected by Kosair Charities, with guidance from the BICF playhouse builders, and help from eager YouthBuild students who have a chance to get hands-on experience and learn more about the construction trade. Imagination takes cen-
ter stage in the production of the playhouses, which, through the generosity, time and investment by all three entities, generates transformative experiences for all involved.
“I think we all have an opportunity to use our resources to benefit the community and world around us. This project is such a great example of how we can use our gifts to help someone else.” – Brandon Bailey, Bailey Construction & Remodeling, and BICF Chair Each year, the big “reveal” is scheduled to publicly unveil the playhouses, and each year, the event tugs at heartstrings and brings people together. While the children on the receiving end are full of smiles, the hearts of their parents are full as well – full of hope and appreciation for everyone involved in making it possible. It’s also a time where the BIA members involved may 2017 7
BICF Playhouse Reveal
Pat Durham, BIA Executive VP, spoke to the crowd of over 50 people at the reveal.
You could see his whole face light up when they rolled those garage doors open. I think he was a little overwhelmed with all the details, but he went running right up to the house.” The attendees were giddy to see the playhouses revealed!
in the project realize how their unique talents and resources can truly make an impact. BICF Chair Brandon Bailey, Bailey Remodeling and Construction, described the recent playhouse reveal event held at YouthBuild on March 30, “The playhouse reveal is my favorite night of the year. I think we all have an opportunity to use our resources to benefit the community and world around us. This project is such a great example of how we can use our gifts to help someone else. It was an awesome experience for everyone involved.” First-time playhouse builders, Brad Hicks, Bradley Homes, and D.J. Berry, Wehr Constructors, along with the parents of the recipients, share their insights on the playhouse experience ... Addonis’ Home Away from Home D.J. Berry, Wehr Constructors, oversaw a playhouse for nineyear-old Addonis, whose challenges include autism. Addonis’ playhouse is built to resemble his parents’ house with a front porch and matching exterior. It has a second floor reading loft inside and a kitchen to foster his love of cooking and encourage 8 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

him to practice life skills. The playhouse includes plenty of details to support Addonis’ love of performing, including a magic/ puppet show stand and an area where he can practice his karaoke. Berry said they also incorporated a phone system where someone in the upstairs loft could call down to the main level of the playhouse so Addonis can practice his phone skills. “We tried to include as many things into the footprint that will help Addonis in his development. Our hope is that the playhouse also gives him some independence,” he explained. With this being Berry’s first BICF playhouse experience, he said he didn’t realize how involved the students from YouthBuild would be. “I really wasn’t aware of what YouthBuild was capable of. However, they ended up doing the majority of the labor, and it was wonderful to see how excited they were and how much pride they took in their work, especially after they met Addonis halfway through the project. After they met him, they embraced everything they were doing. It was incredible to see that pride, and the joy in their faces at the reveal. I was thoroughly impressed with YouthBuild and the love and effort with which they contributed to the project,” he added.

“We’re using it as an example of the importance of caring for a space of his own and being selfsufficient. It’s a great opportunity for him to develop his social skills and learn about personal space.” – Aisha Thomas, Addonis’ mother
Addonis’ mother, Aisha Thomas, described her son’s response at the reveal. “You could see the shock in his eyes. All this time, we had been talking about the playhouse, but finally on the day of the reveal he realized it would be his. They really went above and beyond in creating it, and there was even a UofL football and basketball signed by Bobby Petrino and Rick Pitino and a baseball signed by the entire UofL team,” she said. Thomas explained that the playhouse is designed to grow with Addonis and that it will serve as a tool for his development for many years to come. “We’re using it as an example of the importance of caring for a space of his own and being self-sufficient. It’s a great opportunity for him to develop his social skills and learn about personal space,” she added. Thomas also explained that Addonis’ seven-year-old sister, Aya, is eager to help her big brother break the playhouse in. “She’s been referring to it as ‘our playhouse,’ and I’m sure, with time, Addonis will be happy to share it with her. Aya has almay 2017 9

ways been able to reach him on a level none of us ever could. When she came along and started talking, so did Addonis,” his mother explained. Even though the Thomas family lives near the YouthBuild campus, they weren’t fully aware of what the facility offered. “I didn’t know about all the work they do in the community. They are teaching these young people a serious trade, and they are changing lives there. This whole process was great, from Kosair to YouthBuild and all the vendors. We knew that D.J. was a big UofK fan, so we joked about hoping that some of that red will bleed through. He is very kind and passionate about the playhouse. He talked with Addonis’ teacher and therapists to make sure all of his needs were met.” Ryan’s Fairy Tale Castle Brad Hicks, Bradley Homes, built a playhouse for seven-yearold Ryan who has spina bifida and was recovering from a surgery earlier in March. He and his team built every-little-girls’dream-castle with plenty of room for Ryan to get around in her wheelchair. To further make it accessible, they built a ramp going into it and also poured a concrete sidewalk that goes from the front door of the playhouse to her home. The accessibility component is a huge plus for Ryan. Hick’s described Ryan’s mother recalling how Ryan would watch friends play outside, knowing that her wheelchair would get stuck in the grass and it would be hard to join them. “Her mom was crying and was so thankful. I think one of the biggest things for her was being able to imagine her daughter playing with friends,” he said. Ryan’s castle includes plenty of room for her to navigate and pull her wheelchair up to a craft counter where everything she needs is within reach. Designed with plenty of pink and purple accents, it also includes a table and chairs with a tea set, making it an ideal place to host friends for tea parties. 10 louisville builder • bialouisville.com
“It was a real positive experience getting to know the YouthBuild students, hear their stories and work alongside with them,” Hicks said. “We’ve got a great partnership with Kosair, and our suppliers and contractors gladly stepped up to be part of this process. It was a community project with so many facets and so many people of all generations involved,” Hicks added.
“We are so grateful to everyone involved, and we want them to know they’ve all had an impact on another human being’s life. It was something we couldn’t give her.” – Shelly King
Ryan’s mother, Shelly King, described her daughter’s reaction, “She was over the moon! We both were. I didn’t realize the caliber of playhouse it would be. Ryan just covered her mouth in surprise. Brad and his team were great, and I loved getting to know him and his family.” King said that Ryan’s brother, Jude (5), and sister, Riley (13), are excited for their sister to have this special place to use her imagination and develop her skills. “Cognitively, she’s just like any other seven-year-old girl, but her physical limitations hold her back. The playhouse will give her independence and we are extremely excited to watch her enjoy it,” King said, adding that Ryan loves to play “Mommy,” and the playhouse offers her plenty of room and inspiration. “I really enjoyed listening to the boy from YouthBuild share his story. Everything they did has changed the life of our child, and we will never forget them. We are so grateful to everyone involved, and we want them to know they’ve all had an impact on another human being’s life. It was something we couldn’t give

We want to thank everyone involved, especially Brad and his family.” How Can You Use your Resources and Skills to Help Others? Bailey noted that the BICF has more opportunities beyond the playhouses to impact the community. “We are in a position to say ‘yes’ to more projects than ever before, and we’re encouraging the BIA’s members to put their name in the hat to say ‘yes’ along with us,” he said. Bailey noted that the Foundation is taking on room makeovers for additional Kosair Charities families that will continue the mission of helping children with special needs. There are other projects as well that extend out to the broader community, including a recent project that helped a blind couple re-organize their laundry facilities so they’re able to function safer and more efficiently. “St. Matthews Plumbing recently stepped up to replace water heaters at the Boys & Girls Haven. There are continual projects that come our way and we need more members who are willing to partner with us to make them happen,” he added.

2017 Legislative Session Produces Wins for Building Industry by Stacy Smith Rogers
The Kentucky General Assembly concluded its 30-day legislative session on March 30, 2017, passing some milestone bills that will affect the regional building industry in the near future and in years to come. Amidst a whirlwind of debate and eleventh-hour votes, the 2017 legislative session delivered a slate of bills that touch the lives of many Kentuckians. BIA Vice President of Government Affairs Annie Fultz Dutton noted that this was the first legislative session under the new Republican majority. “This is the first year in decades that we have had a Republican House and a pro-business legislature. That’s something we haven’t seen in Frankfort for a long time,” she said. Dutton highlighted what she referred to as “key wins” for the industry. “The passage of right-to-work and charter school legislation, along with the appeals bond and dog bite bills are among those that will certainly make a difference for our members,” she added.
the passage of right-to-work and a repeal of the prevailing wage, legislative leaders expect to see more outside companies take an interest in Kentucky for relocation, which means more job opportunities for the citizens of our state,” he explained. “Governor Matt Bevin has indicated that his administration is working on a tax reform package that he hopes to take to the legislature sometime this year by calling a special session of the Kentucky General Assembly,” Weiss added, noting that the special session is expected to be called sometime after Labor Day. Government Affairs Committee Chair John Miranda, Pinnacle Properties, enthusiastically applauded the passage of the key bills that he strongly believes will save taxpayers money and draw more business to the state. He cited right to work and prevailing wage repeal as top legislative priorities for the Committee this year, and is eager to see the impact this 2017 legislative session has on business in Kentucky.
“With the passage of right-to-work and a repeal of the prevailing wage, legislative leaders expect to see more outside companies take an interest in Kentucky for relocation, which means more job opportunities for the citizens of our state.”
Rep. Miller Anticipates Appeals Bond Bill Will Help Development Legislators passed HB 72, sponsored by Representative Jerry Miller from Louisville, which calls for those who take a zoning case to the Court of Appeals to post a bond set by a judge to cover the lost cost to the winning party should they lose the appeal. The passage of this bill is expected to cut down the number of frivolous appeals designed to hold up development projects. Miller emphasized how he thinks this legislation will play a role in spurring the state economy. “While my appeals bond bill was met with stiff resistance, even in some corners of

my district, it was absolutely the right thing for the Commonwealth. If we are to grow our way out of the massive unfunded pension liability hole we find ourselves in, we’ve got to get Kentucky’s economic engine roaring.” Stay Tuned ... Dutton noted a couple of bills that didn’t pass that the BIA was watching closely, including workers compensation reform (HB 296) which failed to gain traction in the Senate, and the neighborhood schools bill (HB 151) which would have permitted students to enroll in the school nearest their home. “We’ll continue to stay abreast and monitor these issues as we advocate on behalf of our members,” she explained. “It’s likely that the governor will call a special session this fall on tax reform and pension reform. We’re expecting to learn more about this in the weeks ahead, so I would encourage our members to stay tuned for more information. We’ll be engaging them in the tax reform discussion in the near future,” Dutton added, noting that upcoming efforts on the national stage are on the radar as well. “The Capital Hill visit in D.C. will give us an opportunity to talk to our federal legislators and advocate for our industry on key national issues that impact our members. Some of those issues include mitigation fees for endangered species, tax reform, regulatory reform, and flood insurance,” Dutton explained. Upcoming in June ...

At-a-Glance Difference-Makers for the Building Community Right-to-Work and Prevailing Wage HB 1, the right-to-work bill, which many expect will draw more businesses to Kentucky, prohibits requiring workers to join unions or pay union dues as a condition to employment. It passed in the first week of the session. On its heels was passage of HB 3, the repeal of the state’s prevailing wage law, which is anticipated to save money on public construction costs and turn an “open for business” sign on in the state of Kentucky. Education Reform and Charter Schools Senate Bill 1, often referred to as the “Let Teachers Teach Bill” was closely watched as it succeeded in passing sweeping changes to public education in Kentucky. The bill changes how students, teachers and schools are evaluated and held accountable, returning more control to local school districts. House Bill 520 cleared the way for local school boards to authorize and operate charter schools in the state, beginning with the 2017-2018 school year. Appeals Bond Bill HB 72, which passed in the final hours of the session, will cut down the number of frivolous appeals designed to hold up or kill development projects. This is a bill that the BIA has strongly supported and is expected to have a direct impact on the economic growth of the region. Dog Bite Bill House Bill 112 easily passed both chambers and was signed into law by the governor. It addresses a common sense approach to dealing with situations where landlords are no longer held responsible for the actions of tenants’ dogs.

Building Connections

PJ Moore L&N Federal Credit Union
Sherry Henry State Farm Dale Hellmann Prudential Heating and Cooling
Personal, Professional and Long-Lasting by Nancy Miller
Sherry Henry, a State Farm owner/agent, joined the BIA when she founded her agency. “The BIA was instrumental in building my business because of the builder contacts and those with electricians, plumbers and flooring contractors I met,” she says. When she assumed a leadership role with State Farm in the Louisville market, she was no longer involved with the Association. Three years ago, when she again became an agent, she rejoined the BIA at the urging of members PJ Moore and Sharon Kilpatrick. A four-way BIA connection, in which she was a central player, resulted in the building of her own home in Norton Commons. She and her husband, Charles, were introduced to Greg 20 louisville builder • bialouisville.com
Burrus of Burrus Architecture and Construction through Mike Blacketer. “Greg often builds in Norton Commons. Mike knew we would like working with him because he is both an architect and a builder,” she says. Burrus says he and his wife and business partner, Jeanie, immediately hit it off with the Henrys. With a vision of what they desired in a home, the Henrys easily communicated their ideas to Burrus. “I came up with the floor plan. We got pretty close on the first attempt because they were so clear about what they wanted. The design process proceeded smoothly and in excellent time because Sherry and Charles make fairly quick decisions,” he recalls.
Building Connections Burrus and the BIA date to about 1998 when he formed his company. However, he dropped out for awhile because one of his partners was a member. “I felt like we didn’t need another partner who was a member. In hindsight, I wish I had not done that,” he candidly admits. Again an active member of the BIA for more than a dozen years, he served on the Board of Directors for one year. He and Jeanie frequently attend the NAHB International Builders Show (IBS), and he tried to be as active in the BIA as much as possible. He views sourcing subcontractors and providing social opportunities to gather with other members as two of the main advantages of membership.
“The BIA was instrumental in building my business because of the builder contacts and those with electricians, plumbers and flooring contractors I met.” - Sherry Henry Networking is a key benefit of membership for PJ Moore, Director of Communications and Business Development at L&N Federal Credit Union Credit Union, as well. “But you
try to connect whether or not it will be advantageous to you at that point. Loyalty will come back to you. You’re planting seeds. When Sherry decided to do a construction loan and build in Norton Commons, I was her girl. The puzzle just fit together,” she comments about her professional relationship and friendship with Henry. Dale Hellmann of Prudential Heating and Cooling first met Henry at a BIA Associates Committee meeting. Solidifying this remarkable and intricate building connection, he has known Moore for about 20 years and has worked with Burrus for approximately 15 years. Providing HVAC services for the new home was a natural progression for all of them. Participating in the BIA for more than 25 years, Hellmann has served on the BIA Membership, Retention and BIPAC committees and is Chairman of the Oldham County Council. He attends all of the Associates meetings and strongly supports reciprocal business interests. His years of experience with the BIA offer him a broad overview of its objectives and successes. “Getting the younger generation more involved in the BIA has been a bit of a struggle but it’s so necessary for the future of the organization,” states Hellmann. “The BIA has been very successful in adapting to changes in the industry, and it’s up to all of us to contribute to that.”

To recognize these outstanding members, several prizes are given away at the annual General Membership Meeting, including the Grand Prize. Grand Prize: Each member who recruited a member in 2016 had a chance to win our Grand prize of a 4 day Caribbean cruise with roundtrip airfare on Southwest Airlines for two adults. The greater the number of members they recruited, the greater their chance of winning our Grand Prize. Ten names were initially drawn from the pot. From there, names were drawn on the odd numbers with the final name drawn being the winner of the grand prize. PJ Moore, a devoted member of the BIA for 12 years, and dedicated employee of L & N Federal Credit Union, was the lucky winner of the Grand Prize at the November 2016 General Membership Meeting. PJ and her husband, Larry, recently cashed in their prize certificate in celebration of their 28th wedding anniversary. They embarked on a cruise of the Eastern Caribbean aboard the Norwegian Escape cruise ship. They took in the sights of St. Thomas, Tortola and the Bahamas. PJ returned with much appreciation for the BIA, a golden tan and a vibrant smile! Congratulations PJ! The BIA plans to continue this Grand Prize tradition at the 2017 General Membership Meeting. Each member who recruits a new member to the Association will be entered into the prize drawing. 22 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

membermeetings Sales and Marketing Council The Sales & Marketing Council partnered with the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors to present a panel discussion exploring how builders and realtors should be using the new joint Builder/Realtor addendum for substantially complete new home construction. The addendum took the BIA and GLAR two years to complete and it is a vital document to understand, according to discussion facilitator Dave Parks, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Parks & Weisberg Realtors. Dozens of questions from Builders and Realtors were discussed by panel members Bob Thieneman, RJ Theineman/Louisville Realty Group, Pat Durham, BIA Executive VP, and John Talbot, Bardenwerper, Talbott & Roberts, PLLC. Thank you to the meeting sponsors Century Mortgage, Flooring and Granite Designs, and PC Home Store!
Shelby County Council The Shelby County Council bucked tradition and held the meeting at the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass on March 23. The group of over 40 members heard from newly elected Representative Rob Rothenburger, who shared his perspective on his first legislative session in Frankfort. The Council was also joined by guest speaker Debbie Griesinger, General Manager of the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass. Griesinger presented an interesting PowerPoint detailing how the outlet mall’s location was chosen, retailers recruited, and possibilities for future growth.
