Kavanaugh

By now, most of you will have heard that I have announced my retirement effective May 31, 2016.

That date will mark my 20th year anniversary with the Association. My 20 years at the Association have been filled with many memories, but none better than the people that make up this wonderful Association and industry, particularly our BIA Staff! When I started, we were the Home Builders Association of Louisville, and I’m leaving the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville.

During my time, we saw an unprecedented boom in new home construction as well as the worst housing downturn in our history. We also saw the creation of the Commercial Council of Greater Louisville, bringing with it the developers building the places we work.

I hope to have some fun looking back over the next several months at my 20 years at the HBAL/ BIA. While I’m looking back at my 20 years, the Association will also be celebrating its 70th Anniversary in the spring and we all will be looking back to 1946 when our Association began as the Associated Home Builders of Louisville.

You should all know by now that Pat Durham has been named as my successor and your new Executive Vice President. Pat has been involved with the Association for 20 years and has been in almost every leadership position available to a volunteer member, culminating in his role as the 70th BIA President in 2015. Pat, besides being a UofL graduate, has a wide and varied background and experience, which will prove valuable in his upcoming position at the BIA. So, we will not only be looking back over the next few months, we will also be looking forward and contemplating the next 20 years of this fine Association that represents the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville, with Pat Durham at the helm of the second-largest Association in NAHB’s Federation.

Thanks for allowing me to serve you and be associated with your industry and Association these past 20 years!

BIA Spring Events

Home Product Expo presented by L&N Federal Credit Union

January 30 & 31 Paroquet Springs Conference Centre, Shepherdsville Now in its sixth year, the Home Product Expo, presented by L&N Federal Credit Union attracts a steady following of interested consumers in the region.

The event is set for January 30-31 at the Paroquet Springs Conference Centre in Shepherdsville, Ky., and offers participants an ideal venue to reach consumers who are serious about doing research on upcoming home improvement projects. Fairly small in scale, but big in value, the event focuses on featuring products consumers want to research and offers a great opportunity for vendors to market to serious buyers. According to BIA VP of Operations & Special Events Gail Schell, vendors and consumers alike appreciate the intimate atmosphere and the emphasis on product exhibition. “It truly creates an atmosphere where exhibitors are able to talk one-on-one with homeowners looking to make improvements in the near future,” she said.

The Home Product Expo is a free event, open to the public with free parking. With a highly visible location right off I-65, it’s conveniently accessible. Exhibit space starts at $380. (At press time, the concessions sponsorship was still available.) For specifics about exhibiting, contact Gail Schell at 429-6000 or gail @bialouisville.com.

P.J. Moore, L&N Federal Credit Union, noted that it’s a perfect time of year to get consumers the information they need to start planning renovation projects. “The timing, location and product is ideal, and the community and the Bullitt County Chamber and residents really support the Home Product Expo.

The event draws from all over Jefferson, Bullitt and Hardin Counties, and we even attract folks from Indiana. There are serious buyers here comparing prices,” she said. Moore noted that L&N utilizes the show as a kick-off to marketing home equity loans and lines of credit for people wanting to make spring home improvements. “We’ve just opened a branch in Mt. Washington, and this is a good way of getting exposure. We’re tickled to be the presenting sponsor,” she added.

Table Top Night

February 16: 4 - 7:30 p.m.

Ramada Plaza Table Top Night, one of BIA’s most popular member events, is set for Tuesday, February 16 from 4-7:30 p.m. at the Ramada Plaza, off Hurstbourne Lane. Special prizes for attendees and vendors and large money drawings for builder and remodelor members always create a buzz. According to BIA Director of Member Services Dawn Agnew, Table Top Night is an ideal venue for all members, especially those new on the scene. She hopes to build upon the popularity of the event and increase the number of vendors. “Last year we had 110 booths. This year, we’re hoping to attract 20-30 more. It’s a great event for members to connect with members – and their customers. And, it’s simply a fun atmosphere,” she said.

Keeping with the tradition of honoring their commitment to the industry, the event is free for builder and remodeler members. Associates who participated last year and are interested in booth space have first right of refusal prior to December 14. Final booth reservations are accepted through February 1. The cost for a space is $245. Contact Dawn Agnew at 429-6000 or dawn@bialouisville.com.

Bonnycastle Appliances is the sponsor for the 2016 Table Top Night. According to Larry Link, the company has been a strong supporter for more than a decade. He said Bonnycastle views this event as a critical way to not only build relationships with customers, but to learn more about what their needs are. “You can only do so much by phone and email. Being able to put a name with a face and shake someone’s hand is invaluable. This event has been vital to our success and it has allowed us to have a broader view of what’s going on in our industry and with our customers” he added. Link also said it’s a good opportunity to learn what builders and remodelors are involved in within the community and how Bonnycastle can help those efforts.

BIA Spring Events

Home, Garden & Remodeling Show, presented by Window World

March 18-20, 2016 Kentucky Exposition Center, South Wing B & C For more than 65 years, the Home, Garden & Remodeling Show, presented by Window World has been connecting BIA members to customers. The event, sponsored by LG&E, creates a sense of eagerness among Louisville-area homeowners who mark their calendars each year and head to the Kentucky Exposition Center to seek out professionals who can help them achieve their home improvement goals. Hundreds of area businesses rely on the Show to jump start to their selling season.

“The Home, Garden & Remodeling Show is a huge part of some of our members’ advertising programs – and in select cases, it is their only advertising because it propels and increases their business for the entire year. It’s a great opportunity to be in front of an audience of over 20,000 in three days,” commented Gail Schell, noting that it would be hard to match that exposure even if a vendor invested in an expensive, large-scale marketing campaign. Participating in the Show offers a great return on a minimal investment for booth space.

According to Schell, the upcoming event will feature Melinda Myers as the Garden Stage speaker, as well as the Disc Connected K-9 World Famous Frisbee Dogs, sponsored by Logan Lavelle Hunt Insurance. Belgard Hardscapes will present the Outdoor Living Pavilion again, and the always popular Trend Cooking Stage is expected to draw crowds. Additional entertainment offers something for the whole family to enjoy, making the Home, Garden & Remodeling Show an easy venue for consumers to do their research on products and services for the home while enjoying some unique, quality entertainment and educational opportunities with their family.

Each BIA member will be sent two free tickets to the Show and will be able to purchase additional tickets at a discount. Exhibit space starts at $680 for BIA members. (At press time, several sponsorships were still available, including Kids Area, Automobile, Bag and Photo Booth. Custom sponsorships can be created.) For specifics about exhibiting, contact Gail Schell at 429-6000 or gail@bialouisville.com.

Kim Foster, Window World, described how the event plays a role in her company’s outreach to consumers, “I feel the Home,Garden & Remodeling Show is the biggest and best event in Louisville to put you in front of serious buyers who are looking to do home improvements. People are still focused on energy efficiency, quality and value and the consumer is more educated now due to technology.

This Show is always a key marketing event to kick off spring sales not only for Window World, but most home remodeling companies.” Foster acknowledged the Show’s efficient organization and family-friendly atmosphere and gave a nod to BIA for creating a buzz in the community about the event, “Not only does Window World advertise the show through Facebook and our website, but BIA launches an aggressive multimedia campaign which brings tons of exposure to the Show and benefits all of the exhibitors.”

Dave French, LG&E, emphasized the role the Show plays in regard to outreach, “We use the Show as a platform to communicate educational information, such as our energy efficiency programs. The Home, Garden & Remodeling Show is an excellent way for us to connect with the community, and who else better to be associated with than the people who are involved in building new homes!” december 2015 9

Keeping Up-to-Date on Insurance and Legal Issues Every year Louisville Builder presents some of the most pertinent insurance and legal issues that affect the building industry. This year’s discussions with several respected individuals in their fields provided many relevant insights that could greatly affect BIA members.

By Nancy Miller

INSURANCE Alan Jones Assured N. L. Insurance Agency, Inc. One of the potentially serious problems facing builders is that their subcontractors have lower insurance limits than the builders, or no insurance at all. The result is that any claims fall back under the builder’s insurance.

Ideally, a sub should name the builder as an additional insured on the general liability insurance because any work the sub performs that causes bodily injury or property damage 18 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

would also affect the builder. Such additional insured status for the builder should be on a primary and non-contributory basis. We tell our builder clients to try to get vendors to list the builder on the vendor’s insurance policy. Of course, many vendors don’t comply.

All subs should carry at least $1 million general liability with $2 million general aggregate and $2 million completed operations aggregate. Such coverage limits should be carried for at least two years following completion of work. All subs should also carry $1 million auto liability for any autos, and statutory Workers’ Compensation with at least $500,000 Employers’ Li-

Insurance and Legal Issues ability limits.

We also recommend, based on the job, a $1 million umbrella policy. In Kentucky, if a subcontractor is a sole proprietor, partner, owner or executive officer of a corporation or a member of a LLC, he may exempt himself from Workers’ Comp. But if the subcontractor has employees, Workers’ Comp must be provided to them with statutory coverage and Employers’ Liability limits of at least $500,000.

Ideally, the sub should provide a waiver of subrogation in favor of the builder on the general liability and auto liability insurance of the sub. While such waivers are not allowed in Kentucky for Workers Compensation, the waiver should be secured for work in all states that allow waivers.

Also, it would be ideal for there to be a signed subcontractor contract with an Indemnity Agreement in favor of the builder.

The Contractual Liability coverage of the sub’s standard General Liability insurance should provide for defense and indemnity for the builder in regards to third party bodily injury and/ or property damage claims made against the builder.

Builders should also carry builder’s risk insurance with proper limits. Make sure the builder’s risk policy has enough limits to cover the house or houses you are building. We have seen builder’s risk policies with limits of $300,000 and the house the builder is building is worth $700,000.

Everyone should read policies very carefully to be sure there aren’t any unusual exclusions on their general liability, Workers’ Comp or builder’s risk. Coverage isn’t the right coverage just because it’s cheap. The most effective coverage might not be the least expensive.

Ideally, a sub should name the builder as an additional insured on the general liability insurance because any work the sub performs that causes bodily injury or property damage would also affect the builder.

- Alan Jones

J. P. DeLaney Logan Lavelle Hunt Employment Practice Liability Insurance (EPLI) is crucial for small to mid-size businesses in various industries. Studies show an employer is more likely to have an EPL claim than a general liability or property loss claim.

EPLI is designed to provide coverage for claims that are a result of wrongful employment practices such as discrimination, harassment, retaliation, termination, constructive discharge, failure to hire, negligent supervision, disability and personal injury. Examples of personal injury include infliction of emotional distress and humiliation, and defamation of invasion of privacy.

The product offers protection against claims made by employees, former employees or potential employees, including

part-time, temporary and seasonal. It extends to the company as well as management and directors. Costs are based on the size of the company, the nature of the business, finances and the number of employees.

John Sizemore and Alison Short 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty A third party warranty is a key component of a comprehensive loss control/risk management program that consists of two key components.

A structural warranty, from an established warranty provider, gives builders and homeowners confidence that if qualified major structural damages develop in a home, the repairs will be the obligation of the warranty insurer rather than the responsibility of the builder and homeowner. A builder may purchase the warranty from a third-party company; however, coverage and insurance backing varies greatly among providers. A structural defect should be defined in accordance with HUD regulations that are designed to cover homes for failure of designated load-bearing elements that meet certain criteria.

Structural warranties protect builders and homeowners from structural defects that arise after construction. Structural issues may not become apparent until many years after the sale of the home. The majority of structural claims are reported four to seven years after completion of the home.

Soil movement beneath a home’s foundation is the leading cause of structural damages. Two types of soil movement damage homes: heave from expansive soils and settlement from consideration of fill or native soils. Active soils are responsible for more property damage to homes than floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes combined.

Consolidation of settlement or native fill soils is the second cause of structural claims. A geotechnical investigation is one quantitative way for builders to know precisely the types of soil they are dealing with, but not a guarantee or certainty that unforeseen problems will not surface.

Eighty percent of structural claims are caused by movement of the foundation due to the soils, rather than the builder’s error.

A third party warranty is a tool to help keep a “balanced relationship” with customers during and after the sale. Protecting all parties against complains, claims and lawsuits equals higher customer/builder satisfaction.

Andrew Stosberg Lloyd & McDaniel Builders can look at insurance coverage not just as an annoying expense that erodes the bottom line, but as a capital expenditure that puts a good foot forward and makes a good impression that the builder is an A-plus, high class, top-of-the-line outfit.

If a bank is funding a construction project, it’s important to maintain insurance policies that existed at the beginning of the project. Builders should communicate any changes to insurance to other parties involved in a project, particularly a bank, but also subcontractors. december 2015 19

Insurance and Legal Issues LEGAL ISSUES Nick Pregliasco Bardenwerper Talbott & Roberts, PLLC Kentucky currently does not have a statute addressing homeowners’ associations and subdivisions directly (neighboring states such as Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and North Carolina do have statutes on the subject). In the last legislative session (2015), a Planned Community Act was introduced into the Kentucky legislature, but did not have the broad support needed to pass. It is our understanding that the group of sponsors have been working with other real estate groups, (including developers, builders, and real estate agents) to modify the proposed Planned Community Act to make revisions to the Act in hopes of obtaining broader support for passage.

In 2010, Kentucky adopted the Kentucky Condominium Act based upon the Uniform Condominium Act, which resulted in a complete overhaul of the Kentucky law on condominiums. The Kentucky Condominium Act is far more detailed and inclusive than the prior Kentucky Horizontal Property law.

This proposed Planned Community Act is in some respects the homeowners’ association and subdivision version of the Kentucky Condominium Act, with many of the Condominium Act provisions incorporated therein. The key difference being there is currently no state statute dealing with the provisions for homeowners associations and subdivisions as there was for condominiums. There appears to be broad support for the need for such an act, just differing of opinion as to how restrictive and inclusive the proposed Planned Community Act should be when introduced.

The proposed Planned Community Act from the last legislative session can broadly be broken down into four categories: (i) Administration of the Association (meetings, powers of Board, standard of care of Board, etc.); (ii) Financial Reporting and Financial Budgeting; (iii) Assessments (regular assessments, special assessments, collections, and lien rights); and (iv) Protection of Lot Purchasers.

Tim Martin Frost Brown Todd LLC Proposed House Bill 240, introduced by Kevin Sinnette in the Kentucky legislature is a proposal to create a new section of KRS 100 dealing with planning and zoning which would set requirements for filing a supersedes bond for any zoning appeals from decisions of the Circuit Court before the case could be transferred to the Kentucky Court of Appeals. In determining the amount of the appeal bond, the Circuit Court could consider the reasonable costs, legal fees and damages, including consequential damages that the appealee or the developer would suffer during the pendency of the appeal that were caused by the appeal. That legislation stalled last year although it had fairly substantial support. We’re hopeful we can pursue it again in 2016 and get the bill moved forward and approved, 20 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

which would hopefully get rid of a lot of the appeals that get filed by groups opposing development since currently they are not currently required to file any sort of bond.

One of the principal reasons various versions of HB 240 have been proposed for over a decade is that Kentucky opponents have so many by-right levels of appeal.

- Bill Bardenwerper

Bill Bardenwerper Bardenwerper, Talbott and Roberts One of the principal reasons various versions of HB 240 have been proposed for over a decade is that Kentucky opponents have so many by-right levels of appeal. In a zoning case, an aggrieved party can appeal a Planning Commission staff or code interpretation to the Board of Zoning Adjustments. Then they can appeal that to Circuit Court, then to the Court of Appeals, and then seek discretionary review by the Kentucky Supreme Court. Meanwhile, just on a development plan approval, they can appeal the plan from a committee decision to the full Planning Commission to Metro Council to Circuit Court to the Court of Appeals and, finally, to the Kentucky Supreme Court. That is five levels of bi-right appeal which could take five years. Supposedly, aggrieved parties oftentimes file these appeals for no other purpose than to try to run off a developer and make it drop its project for reasons of sheer exhaustion.

Nobody is trying to deprive anyone of an opportunity to be heard. But, in many cases, due process ends up meaning that remonstrators get way more process than they are rightly due.

After five years of meetings, the dozens of developers, professionals and citizens who worked on Land Development Code regulation and process issues have completed their work.

The Planning Commission has made recommendations to Metro Council and small cities with zoning authority. Metro Council and those legislative bodies are slowly working their way through the review of all those many recommendations. As respects the statutorily required every five-year update of the comprehensive plan, Metro Planning and Design Services has just begun its work on that which should take about another year. From what we have heard, Metro seems determined to make the update process more efficient and less time consuming than the nearly decade-long cornerstone 2020 process.

Meet BIA Director of Public Affairs and Public Policy

Annie Fultz Dutton

By Stacy Smith Rogers

Annie Fultz Dutton was recently hired as BIA’s new Director of Public Affairs and Public Policy. Among Dutton’s long list of accomplishments prior to taking the job is nearly a decade of experience working on Capitol Hill where she served as Chief of Staff to former U.S. Congressman Jim Gerlach (PA-06), whose seat was widely known to be one of the most competitive in the House of Representatives. Dutton explained that constituent outreach and fundraising were top priorities during her tenure there. Congressman Gerlach served on the powerful tax-writing Ways and Means Committee with Dutton acting as his chief policy advisor. During her time in that role, she developed and executed the office’s strategic initiatives, policy objectives, communications plans and constituent services. With experience in campaign organization, fundraising, media, and issue development, Dutton was recognized as one of the “Top Ten Staffers” in the Pennsylvania delegation by PoliticsPA, the most-read political news source in the Keystone State.

“Being a female under 30 as a chief of staff was somewhat unusual on the Hill.”

“Being a female under 30 as a chief of staff was somewhat unusual on the Hill. It was an incredible experience, and I’m very grateful for the opportunities I had to meet so many kinds of fascinating people - from presidents, foreign dignitaries, famous inventors, sports stars and more,” she said.

22 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

Prior to her time on Capitol Hill, Dutton served as Associate Director of Advocacy and education for the Delaware Valley Healthcare Council (DVHC), executing grassroots advocacy campaigns on health policy at the federal, state and local level for the Philadelphia region’s leading health care provider advocate. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Villanova University in 2003 and received the Fritz Nova Medallion for being first in her class for academic excellence in political science. Of note, also, Dutton studied abroad in London, working in the House of Lords for a semester, where her office was located under the famous Big Ben. (Ironically, she met Margaret Thatcher on her first day on the job.)

“I’m excited to be able to get engaged with members and elected officials and be an advocate for our industry while monitoring critical issues in Frankfort, Metro Council and keeping tabs on what’s going on in Washington that affect our members here.”

Originally from Central Pennsylvania, Dutton and her husband, Greg, chose Louisville, Kentucky as their new home two years ago to be closer to family and enjoy the vibrant arts and culture scene and a community atmosphere where they could put down permanent roots. Although she left the hustle of D.C. behind, she brought with her the skillset necessary to

be a mover and shaker here, working as a consultant on grassroots advocacy campaigns and coalition building within her new community. In the short time she’s been here, she’s worked to build strong relationships with key government officials and decision-makers.

“I’m excited to be able to get engaged with members and elected officials and be an advocate for our industry while monitoring critical issues in Frankfort, Metro Council and keeping tabs on what’s going on in Washington that affect our members here,” she said.

a long-term relationship with the school. We’ll be looking to members who can mentor students there and offer job site field trips to expose these kids to potential opportunities in the building industry.”

Workforce Development Initiative is High on Dutton’s ‘To Do List’ Dutton cited BIA’s new partnership with Jefferson County Public Schools in creating workforce development initiatives as a high priority as the association works to bridge the gap between educating youth and providing skilled workers for the local construction industry. A recent partnership with Iroquois High School shows promise. Dutton explained, “They have six different trades programs at Iroquois, and we are working with students, teachers and administrators to develop meaningful programs with our members. I hope this will be the start of

He Shed/She Shed Competition to Raise Awareness Dutton highlighted the upcoming “He Shed/She Shed” competition where male and female seniors from Iroquois’ carpentry program are building sheds that will be on display at the Home, Garden & Remodeling Show in March. “We’re hoping to create some excitement and publicity for what’s happening at Iroquois and the need for skilled workers in our industry,” she added. Dutton said a new Workforce Development Committee has been formed at BIA to support the initiative. For more information, or to learn how to get involved, contact her at 429-6000 or annie@bialouisville.com.

Giving Gifts and Signs of Appreciation That Matter This Holiday Season

By Stacy Smith Rogers

Looking for a big way (on a humble budget) to show your customers and employees you appreciate them this holiday season?

Investing in a thoughtful way to demonstrate you care doesn’t have to break the bank. Forget the marketing of your products and services – for just a minute – and put yourself in their shoes.

What will your employees and customers appreciate?

Get Creative and Show Customers You Care Who doesn’t like a homemade gift? Really. Unless it’s fruitcake. Ideas are overflowing on Pinterest, Etsy and other crafty idea online sites for corporate gifts. Do you have some creative employees who might like to spearhead an assembly line process for making them? What about some musically talented employees who could go caroling on your company’s behalf?

Think outside the standard gift wrapped box this year and see what ideas blend well with your company vision. Better yet, dig a little deeper and research your customers’ visions. Are they big supporters of a certain charity? If so, consider a group volunteer effort for the same cause. Hold a canned food or coat drive and donate your efforts on behalf of your client. (Be sure to let them know ahead of time of your plans.) Chances are, they’ll appreciate the effort and time you take to consider their vision.

The triple-positive for that: a charity benefits while your client recognizes your efforts and your employees experience the power of doing for others.

Giving Employees the Gift of Time There’s a lot to juggle in the work/family/life balancing act.

For many of us, especially those who’ve exhausted their vaca24 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

tion time banks by December, stealing away a few hours to get some last minute holiday shopping or To Do Lists completed is priceless. Consider what your employees might prefer? Vests with the company logo and gift cards to their favorite coffee shop might get stashed in the closets or tucked behind coupons in their wallet. However, consider their response if you said, “Here’s a day off work. Don’t check email. Just take some time (with pay) to do something for yourself or use the day to make balancing work and life a little easier.” Time away from work during the holiday season can give frazzled employees a chance to catch up on sleep, be less stressed and ultimately more appreciative and productive at work. Consider the costs of what it would take to give your employees such a treat. Would that mean downscaling the holiday party? Put yourself in their shoes and decide what they would prefer. If your employees aren’t on a time clock, consider another way to offer them the gift of time, such as a free Parents Night Out babysitting evening or a group painting party where they can create a gift of their own for someone special, saving them time, money and creative energy trying to come up with something on their own.

The key is to consider your employees’ and customers’ needs.

Companies that demonstrate a willingness to make life easier for their employees will likely have a higher retention rate and happier employees. Those that keep the needs of their customers top-of-mind as well are better positioned to serve them well in the future.

membermeetings SALES AND MARKETING COUNCIL

OLDHAM Council

L to R: Sara Aschbacher, Lincoln Insurance; Dale Hellman, Prudential; Chad Turner, Carpet Specialists; John Miranda, Pinnacle Properties; Tom Waller, Tom Waller Signature Homes; Lauren Thieneman, Carpet Specialists; Denise Duncan, Carpet Specialists; Brittany Forren,Carpet Specialists,

The Sales & Marketing Council held the last quarterly meeting of the year on October 15th at the University of Louisville Shelby Campus. The guest speaker was Mary Ellen Wiederwohl, Chief of Louisville Forward. Mary Ellen started her presentation by showing a video called “Why Louisville”.

During the 6 minute video, various business leaders, entrepreneurs and community members are asked why Louisville is a great place to live, work, create and innovate. The video was then followed by an enlightening presentation about the strides Louisville Forward has made since its inception in 2014. The audience found the presentative to be so informative and useful, many inquired about obtaining the material to share with co-workers, employees and even possible clients moving into the Louisville area. If you are a BIA member and would also like to receive a copy of the presentation materials, please contact Vickie Miller at vickie@bialouisville.com.

The last 2015 Oldham County Council was held at Yew Dell Botanical Gardens on October 29. The sponsors included Carpet Specialists represented by Chad Turner, Denise Duncan and Lauren Scott, Esposito Construction and Architectural Window and Door. Carpet Specialists raffled off an assortment of cookies, and Architectural Window and Door raffled off UK and U of L football tickets. Congratulations to the winners: Sara Aschbacher with Lincoln Insurance Agency, Registered Builder Tom Waller, Tiffany Wirth with Alcott & Bentley.

Dr. Paul Cappiello, Yew Dell Botanical Gardens Executive Director, was the guest speaker at the meeting. Yew Dell transitioned from a privately owned property into a world-renown public garden and research facility. Most recently, Yew Dell created a plant list for the Louisville Metro Tree Board that will also be applicable to Oldham County. Jim Urban, Director of Planning & Development, took a few moments to speak about the importance of properly installed erosion control measures (such as silt fencing), and the County’s updated setback regulations are currently in the public meeting stage.

Thank you to all the members who attended the luncheon!

Logan Lavelle Hunt and Nethery Insurance Enter Partnership

On November 1st, Logan Lavelle Hunt and Nethery Insurance of Shelbyville officially joined forces. The main focus will be on growing the property and casualty sector for Nethery Insurance.

One of the main reasons for the partnership is the accessibility Logan Lavelle Hunt can bring to more insurance carriers for Nethery Insurance. Because of Logan Lavelle Hunt’s size, they have access to many more carriers and options for underwriting different policies. While Nethery mainly focuses on Medicare and individual health and life insurance and will continue that portion on his own, his partnership Logan Lavelle Hunt will open many more doors for his clients and help him grow particularly in the property and casualty realm.
