AGC San Diego Members, an Engineering Firm, and ABuilding Trades Union Join Forces To Help the Disabled!!By Jim Ryan, AGC Wow!!......AGC's Build and Serve Committee identified a need, and AGCmembers, an engineering firm, and a Building Trades Union responded.Mountain Shadows Community Homes in Escondido serves 105 intellectuallyand physically disabled adult residents. The non-profit organization's EscondidoCampus has 16 group homes on its 5-acre campus, including one that servesthe most severe cases.....these residents are all wheel chair bound and totallydependent upon their Mountain Shadow's caretakers.

Cement Masons Local 500 Mountain Shadows Crew with residents The AGC Build and Serve Committee was approached to rebuild a facility that isadjacent to this group home and is very important to its residents. For about 30years, a patio with a wood cover next to this particular facility has been used bythe residents as an area to get outside and get some fresh air......in fact, becauseof the location of this home on the campus, it was the only place for theseresidents to easily access the outdoors. Unfortunately, in recent years, the patio was cracking and the patio cover wasweakened by California's famous termites. It was not a very pleasant place forthe residents to enjoy the outdoors....but because of State funding cutbacks,

Mountain Shadows was not in a position to rebuild the patio. Don Romo, Erickson Hall Construction Company, the AGC Build and ServeChairperson visited the site in late December. He brought the project to theAGC Build and Serve Committee and the Committee unanimously approved theproject as a Build and Serve "build project." Don then lined up the following toserve as the AGC Mountain Shadows Team!! The team includes....

Construction started in early February was completed last week (except for somepaint touchup). Now the residents of this particular group home have anoutstanding patio to spend some time in our beautiful weather. The residents areecstatic!!! The AGC Board of Directors and the AGC Build and Serve Committee want tothank Don Romo and his Mountain Shadows Team for a job well done. And a personal note....thanks everyone.....I have always said the generosity ofour membership and our industry never ceases to amaze me......articles like thisjust make you feel good.....thanks again!!!

$2.5 - $3 Billion City Infrastructure Spending Measure LikelyHeaded to June BallotBy Brad Barnum, Executive Vice President

2016 EDUCATION & SAFETYCATALOG

Good news is likely coming from the San Diego City Hall Chambers on Tuesdayafternoon, when the City Council takes up a proposed ballot measure to dedicate$2.5 - 3 billion of revenue over the next 25-30 years (from sales tax and generalfund growth, and pension savings) to pay for needed infrastructure projects. AGCis a strong proponent of fixing the region's infrastructure, and its Board ofDirectors has unanimously supported the "Rebuild San Diego" Charter ballotmeasure. If approved by a majority of the City Council, the measure will appear on theJune 7 ballot. From all indications, that will happen, as an initial vote was takenon February 9, and it passed 7-2. The proposal is coming back to Council toreview changes to the timing of the funding mechanisms, and the definition of"infrastructure." Definition of "Infrastructure" As we have been reporting to you, the definition of "infrastructure" has becomean issue of contention. A number of stakeholders advocated for funds to be setaside for affordable housing, and the Independent Budget Analyst stated thefunds could be used for initial furnishings, equipment software, supplies,inventory...and for the costs of management and maintenance, includingpersonnel, software, facilities, equipment, and related costs. At its February 9 meeting, the City Council agreed on a revised definition andwhere the revenue could be spent: Infrastructure means General Fund capital improvements including streets,bridges, bike paths and related right-of-way features, storm water and drainagesystems, public buildings such as libraries, parks, recreation and communitycenters, and public safety facilities such as police, fire and lifeguard stations.New convention center facilities and new professional sports venues areexpressly excluded from the definition of infrastructure. Software and othertechnology that is capital in nature (having a useful life in excess of 5 years) maybe included in the definition of infrastructure by the City Council by ordinance. Infrastructure Revenues shall be used exclusively for the acquisition of realproperty, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, repair and maintenance ofInfrastructure, including all costs associated with financing such acquisition,reconstruction, rehabilitation, repair and maintenance... Infrastructure Revenuesmay not be used to fund operations, such as utility costs, janitorial services,waste management and upkeep of grounds. Operations may be more specificallydefined by the City Council by ordinance. AGC appreciates the effort by City leaders to tighten the definition ofinfrastructure. Diverting revenue targeted for badly needed improvements is notgood public policy, and it will only delay projects and make them more costly tocomplete. San Diego City Council, let's "Rebuild San Diego"...together!
