New MeMber OrIeNTATION How much you can save because you are a member of the HBA? By Bob Schroder, HBA President

In the past week, I was talking to several people who were not aware that you can save 5 cents per gallon on fuel purchased

at Speedway, SuperAmerica, Marathon & Pilot stations, plus 15% on oil changes at Valvoline, plus 2% on purchases at Lowe’s. Did you know many of you can save 22% on your Verizon phone bill? Buy a GM vehicle and you can save $500. You can get 20% or more off rental prices at Hertz, Avis or Budget. Office Depot offers 10% discount for online purchases. Many members save more than the cost of their membership dues with the HBA lower rates for worker’s compensation and medical insurance. With the economy still stumbling and home sales slower than we all expected, saving every nickel and dime we can is important to our businesses. Check the HBA website for other savings available to every member.

Pella Impervia Dual-Color Option NOW AVAILABLE!

Neither wind nor rain nor sleet or snow stops determined mail carriers. Nor do those elements and other climate extremes phase Pella Corporation’s energy-efficient Pella Impervia line, expanding in the Summer of 2011 to include White interior option for all units.

Pella Impervia windows and patio doors offer more style and design flexibility for your customers. With the new dual-color option, Pella Impervia products can have a White interior with the choice of White, Tan or Brown exterior.

Pella Impervia windows and patio doors arrive pre-finished with a powder-coat paint finish on both interior and exterior. This durable finish stays looking great for years with little care.

“We’re pleased to offer more innovative solutions to builders and homeowners living in areas where a stronger, more durable window is a must,” said Duane Putz, director of sales and marketing for Pella Impervia. “This product is made for hot, cold, wet or windy climates and now it’s available in more styles.”

Pella Impervia can withstand the forces of Mother Nature without cracking, shrinking or warping in extreme weather conditions. The sleek-profiled innovative products made from Duracast®, the strongest most durable material in windows and doors, are virtually maintenance-free and well-suited to today’s busy lifestyles and balanced budgets for home and business owners.* Builders, remodelers and homeowners may choose from convenient factory prefinished brown, white or tan color options and now have a White interior!

For more information, please contact your local Pella representative or call 513-936-5240.

Cutter Construction has been participating in the Tour of Remodeled Homes show for the last 7 years. We currently offer the Show to any customer that recognizes the value in showing their project to the public. All of our suppliers find value in showcasing their products, and services in the Show. It is very common for suppliers to contact us throughout the year, making sure they will be included in our project for the TORH. We have tracked the feedback from our past customers, and a large percentage has closely followed the TORH Show to select their HBA Remodeler. The TORH Show has turned out to be single best investment our company has made, when you calculate the marketing exposure, traffic, leads, and remodeling projects that our company has been fortunate enough to secure. With the TORH Show gaining momentum in Cincinnati, we now have Regional exposure that expands our market reach. I highly recommend every HBA registered remodeler attend the TORH meetings throughout the year, to learn how this Show can help your company grow.

Whispering Farms is a sprawling, upscale, residential development in suburban Cincinnati. The neighborhood boasts spectacular views of the Great Miami River, wooded

lots and large homes. What Whispering Farms doesn’t have, however, might surprise you: Roads.

That’s right, for as long as eight years, the 44 homeowners at Whispering Farms have lived without paved roads. Now, Hamilton County taxpayers are paying the $150,000 needed to complete the neighborhood’s infrastructure. A controversial resolution to what has become a longstanding problem at Whispering Farms.

This result is controversial because such improvements would typically be covered by a performance bond. However, when the developer abandoned the Whispering Farms project, Hamilton County did not immediately execute on the performance bond. By the time Hamilton County went to execute on the bond, the bank that provided the letter-of-credit on the development’s infrastructure failed, and there were no available assets to install paved roads. Taxpayers in Hamilton County were forced to bear the burden of this mishap.

Under Ohio law, community developers are required to post a performance bond. The performance bond ensures that the monies to complete public subdivision improvements, such as roadways, are available. In lieu of actually completing all of the improvements at once, the developer may use cash, real property, surety, or a letter-of-credit as a guarantee.

If a cash bond is used, the cash is deposited in an escrow account or with the local government’s chief financial officer. Because they tie up a lot of money, cash bonds are used for small projects, such as the completion of sidewalks. If real property is used, the local government usually requires that it be appraised for at least the value of the improvements and be free and clear of encumbrances. If a surety is used, then the developer purchases an insurance policy and pays a premium to cover the cost of the improvement. Should the developer fail to complete the required improvements within a certain period of time, the local government may turn to the insurer to cover the cost of the improvements. A letter-of-credit is issued by a bank, usually for a fee, to guarantee that the developer has adequate financing to complete the subdivision; the bank then assumes part of the risk of completing the development.

For most developments, a developer also must post a maintenance bond. A maintenance bond extends for a period of time after the subdivision improvements have been completed (usually a year) and represents a portion of the cost of the original performance bond. A maintenance bond guarantees that the developer will maintain the improvements until they are accepted for public use by the local government. These bonds ensure the quality of workmanship and materials used in the subdivision’s improvements once they have been constructed. Unfortunately, in the case of Whispering Farms, the roads were never built in the first place; any available maintenance bond would have been useless in this circumstance.

What has happened at Whispering Farms serves as a reminder of the importance and need for performance and maintenance bonds. No matter who is to blame for the $150,000 roadway debacle, the now-evaporated performance bond should have been executed when it became apparent that the developer would be unable to complete the project. While Whispering Farms may eventually become the picturesque neighborhood that owners and developers once envisioned, the burden it has placed on Hamilton County taxpayers speaks for itself.

Patrick’s Custom Hardwood Flooring was the scene of the recent Member Mix & Mingle. His showroom was intriguing to many and his fine fare of food was delicious. It is very interesting to

visit our member’s place of business and see exactly what they do everyday. Mark your calendar for the Fall Member Mix & Mingle at Forge Lumber on September 15th.
