Congressman Collin Peterson met with members of the Lake Re-gion Builders Association on August 12th to discuss issues that are affecting the building industry. One topic in particular was the Lead Renovate, Repair and Paint ruling and how it is making it difficult for the total costs to be certified and all the rule changes. The housing market as far as banking and realty was another important topic es-pecially with all of the foreclosures and loan issues. Pictured from left front row: Tom Crowell - Crowell Construction, Perry Nodsle - Nodsle Construction, Congressman Collin Peterson, Denise Fredrickson - Midwest Bank.

The BAM Board had its quarterly meeting in Duluth, Wednesday, July 21st. It was a full agenda and much was accomplished. Below is a recap of the discussion and deci-sions made by the BAM Board.
NAHB ResolutionNAHB recently gave official notice of a possible dues-in-
crease. The issue will be discussed at the NAHB Fall Board meeting in New York. The BAM Board discussed at length whether Minnesota supports or opposes a dues increase of $15 per year over the course of three years. NAHB is projecting a $10 million deficit. The BAM board voted to put forth a resolution stating BAM opposes any NAHB dues in-crease and calls on NAHB to present a good-faith balanced budget proposal.
SNBA Territory The Suburban Northwest Builders As-sociation recently voted to dissolve, and the BAM board voted to remand the territory back to CMBA from which the territory came.
Building Performance Standards The Board created a task force to revise the current BAM performance standards. The law, requiring builders to provide a copy of building performance standards along with the homeowner’s con-tract, goes into effect January 1st and the task force will be producing the revised document in October.
NAHB Position Recommendation The BAM board also discussed at length the reports NAHB recently published about the reorganization of NAHC. Those three reports can be found by following the links listed below:
1) http://www.bamn.org/Documents/NAHBAssessmen-toftheAssociation.pdf
2) http://www.bamn.org/Documents/NAHBRecommen-dationsMatrix.pdf
3) http://www.bamn.org/Documents/NAHBReportof-TaskForcePositioningNAHBfortheFuture.pdf
BAM President and state rep Mike Gohman attended the meeting in Washington, D.C. where these documents were discussed and Gohman said the Lang Assessment of the Association is getting the most traction. The items up for discussion at NAHB are:
1. Including Associate members on the senior officer team
2. Option to discontinue life and senior life director posi-tion, sun setting in 2020.
3. Term limits for exec board of two years, 3-term limit4. Limit number of face-to-face meeting to save cost5. Reduce the number of full committees from 21 to 136. Convert councils to networking groups up to 10,000
relying on social media to distribute information7. Review social media outlets and streamline8. Consolidate local association The BAM board elected to create a task force to review
NAHB’s organization plans and survey, and to put out a sur-vey of BAM’s member.
New EPA Lead Rules The BAM board participated in a grassroots effort the day of the meeting wherein all mem-bers signed letters to the EPA asking them not to make the cleaning requirements more stringent. If you want to help us advocate, please send one of these three letters:

Also put in this article on Waiving mechanics lien: Waiving Mechanic’s Liens Contractors are very familiar with the concept of me-
chanic’s liens and the use of lien waivers. Most commonly, the waivers are signed after the contractor or subcontrac-tor has received payment for all or a portion of its work. However, in the past there were owners and lenders who by contract, wanted to eliminate the possibility of a contrac-tor or subcontractor filing a lien against the project. They would have the contractor agree, in the initial contract or loan documents, not to file a lien against the project. The legislature responded to that abuse by passing a law that is contained at Minn. Stat. § 337.10. Subdivision 2 of that statute states that:
Provisions contained in, or executed in connection with, a building and construction contract requiring a contractor, subcontractor, or material supplier to waive the right to a mechanic’s lien or to a claim against a payment bond before the person has been paid for the labor or materials or both that the person furnished are void and unenforceable. . .
This provision was recently the subject of a case out the Minnesota Court of Appeals entitled Kraus-Anderson Con-struction Company v. Superior Vista, LLC. Superior Vista was the owner of a property in Duluth which was to the sub-ject of a large renovation. The contract for the renovation and the building work was signed prior to the construction loan being obtained, and by the time funding was found, some of the demolition work had occurred at the property. Under that scenario, it was arguable that Kraus-Anderson, and every other subcontractor and supplier on the project, would have priority over the mortgage. Obviously, that is not acceptable to the lenders. As a result, the lender, owner and Kraus-Anderson entered into a subordination agree-ment. A subordination agreement is a document which in its simplest form, states that one party agrees to give up its priority in favor of another party; it subordinates its rights to the rights of another. The purpose of such an agreement can benefit both parties. The lender is secure that it has first position with its mortgage and the contractor, although giving up its position, is assured of getting the work. With-out funding, the project would not move forward.
The problem with the subordination agreement in Kraus-Anderson, was that it accomplished too much. Not only did it state that Kraus-Anderson was subordinating its rights to the mortgage, it stated that Kraus-Anderson would not even file a mechanic’s lien until the mortgage had been paid. The trial court found that in the current economic conditions, it was not likely that the lender would be paid in full prior to Kraus-Anderson’s mechanic’s liens expiring. Under that scenario, the document they signed was not re-ally a subordination agreement, it was an unenforceable lien waiver under Minn. Stat. § 337.10, subd. 2.
