It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve as your president of the Home Builders Association of Lincoln during 2019. During this year, I’ve had the opportunity to meet many of you personally and can say I have become even more impressed with the quality and dedication of our members. It is an absolute point of pride for me to say I am a member of HBAL. During the year, HBAL has worked on many issues that impact our industry. We were actively engaged in the Sales Tax for Roads issue negotiating a 5-year freeze on impact fees and dedication of 25% of the sales tax revenue to construction of new streets for new growth. We worked on the task force that developed the radon resistive construction passed by the State Legislature. HBAL developed an ongoing relationship with City Council members and County Commissioners meeting regularly to keep the lines of communication open. We started a community task force to look at issues impacting workforce affordable housing. We have started our efforts to educate state legislators on the extreme costs of the new National Electrical Code proposed for wholesale adoption by the State during this legislative session. HBAL continues to work closely with Building and Safety to ensure a strong working relationship with their staff. These are several of the many ongoing efforts on the HBAL agenda in support of our industry. During 2019, HBAL continued our benevolent activities in our community. We completed a house for Habitat for Humanity. The Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation funded several scholarships to local students. We continue to work with students in local high schools, educating them about the opportunities in our industry. HBAL once again built toys for the Lincoln Police Union’s Santa Cop program. And, we were involved in a number of other activities that benefited our community including a $5,000 donation to the Lincoln Police Department - Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Memorial project through HBAL’s Giving Day. Thank you to our wonderful HBAL staff. Michaela, Jennie, Andrea, Laure and Taylor are amazing! They made my year as president successful. HBAL is sponsoring two educational opportunities in January: Sanitary & Improvement Districts 101 presented by E & A Consulting Group (date is to be determined) and Fall Protection presented by the Nebraska Safety Council (January 31). You can find more details in this issue of the Business Builder. Once again, thank you for your trust and support during this year. It is an experience I will always treasure. Best wishes to Herb Reese who becomes our president for 2020. Herb has a passion for our industry and he will serve HBAL well! Happy and safe building!

HBAL Mailbox
HBAL Mailbox Dear Home Builders Association of Lincoln, The message printed on this card didn’t seem to adequately express our gratitude for your generous donation to the Lincoln Police Department - Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Memorial project. While we have received many donations, yours was especially generous. On behalf of the six officers and three deputies who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our community - as well as their friends, family and coworkers - thank you. Sincerely, Todd Duncan, Badge #9021 Chief Deputy Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office Mike Woolman, Badge #737 Captain Lincoln Police Department
Dear HBAL, I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of Chief Bliemeister, to thank you for the opportunity for him to speak at your recent membership luncheon. Additionally, we would like to thank you for the $50 gift card. Currently, there are City and Department policies in place which do not allow employees/ directors to accepts gifts such as this. Those policies, however, allow the “regifting” of gifts to organizations or projects that are not funded by the City. I’m happy to announce that your most generous gift has been forwarded to the LPD K-9 Unit. This particular unit, which lends support to the 5 uniformed LPD teams as well as mutual aid to outside agencies, is funded solely by donations and does not see support in taxpayer dollars. The K-9 Unit is always in need of training, care and nutritional supplies for the canines, as well as items for the K-9 Unit facility, which can no doubt be purchased with your gift. Thank you very much for your show of support for the Lincoln Police Department. Sincerely, Captain Ryan Dale COIC LPD K-9 Unit
Dear Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation, Thank you so much for the $500 donation to the Norris Construction Program. This money will help us to continue to grow our program at Norris. I currently have ten students in my construction classes. I am hopeful a few will go to school for construction trades. Thanks, Jon Critser

They cost companies millions of dollars each year. Every employer must provide training for each employee who might be exposed to fall hazards. This course is designed to provide training on how to recognize fall hazards and methods of evaluation, and how to implement protective measures - all according to OSHA Standard 29CFR1926 Subpart M(Construction Industry). This intensive course is designed for business owners, safety managers, supervisors, foremen, crew leaders, and all others who are responsible for the safety of employees exposed to fall hazards. This course will bring you closer to 100% fall protection. The knowledge you gain will reduce your chances of devastating injury and workers’ compensation costs.
