Affordable Housing Update – 02/22/2022
BCC made several recommendations, which received unanimous votes for addressing Housing Affordability in Collier County. CBIA was one of 28 speakers on this topic and will continue to monitor and participate. The direction to staff the county attorney included:

• Place $20 million in Housing Trust Fund from the sales surtax for land acquisition.
• Identify county-owned and potential parcels for the county to purchase using infrastructure sales tax revenue to support the development of affordable/workforce housing.
• Provide research on millage equivalency to support the development of affordable housing.
• Bring back recommendations for hiring a consultant to provide a nexus study for linkage fees for affordable housing.
• Evaluate the potential for public/private partnership with local municipalities, school district, fire departments, etc. to provide for the potential development of affordable housing.
• Provide a legal analysis on impact fee waivers for affordable housing.
• Review how the county is managing and expending current impact fees.

A special BCC meeting will be scheduled to further discuss and potentially vote on recommendations moving forward. CBIA will ensure your voice is heard as decisions are made.

City of Naples
Quarterly Update from CBIA Government Affairs member, R Benson (A Vernon Allen)
Permitting is down year over year for the same period as last year.
o 41616 Applications – down 7%
o 99 Single Family Permits – down 15%
o 539 Multi-family permits-down 16%

The Building Department is working on online permitting, and is considering the CBIA recommendation and assistance with the process. The suggestion for uniformity would be to implement the same system as Collier County. This is in lieu of a “built from scratch” module to work with the current government system or another supplier. Our discussion was that although the Collier County system has issues, at least it is a consistent platform where the contractors would not need to learn an entirely new system and process for the different municipalities.

City of Naples
Temporary construction fences for demos only will remain unchanged and permitted as a separate permit. All other temp fences will be included in the GC permit for the construction with a sub form required for the fence contractor. The fee will not change but will be included in the main permit. The plan showing the proposed temp fence shall be included on the construction site management plan. This is a policy intended to stream line the process by eliminating a separate permit submission and review for a temp fence. The GC can coordinate this work along with the fence inspection #269 as part of their construction. City ordinance requires a temp fence to be in place during construction, a stop work order may be issued should construction start without a temp fence installed and inspected. Click here for details.

• Revisions shall be provided when deemed required (not each and every change but not all at end of project either)
• Reports shall be available onsite at all times (PP to make sure contractor is aware) not available will result in a non-passing notation within the system requiring inspection to be rescheduled.

Enforcement actions for not following requirements (scheduling inspections, surveys, partial inspection, holding inspections until conditions are resolved, revisions, etc) will be incurred on contractor and may result in delays and contractor licensing concerns. Special thanks to CBIA member, Tatiana Gust for spearheading this effort with Jonathan Walsh.

06/22/16: How to Comply and Mitigate the Effects of the Overtime Rule
Filed in Codes and Regulations, Labor, Safety and Health on June 7, 2016 • 8 Comments

Despite strong opposition by NAHB and other leaders in the nation’s small business community, the Department of Labor (DOL) last month issued its final overtime rule, which will more than double the current overtime salary limit of $23,660 to $47,476.
Set to take effect on Dec. 1, the rule will have significant ramifications for many employers, including home building firms and non-profit organizations such as local and state HBAs.

NAHB has prepared an FAQ to help our members better understand and to comply with the rule. In addition, a webinar replay is now available to help you:
• Learn what employers need to know before Dec. 1.
• Find out which staff will be due overtime.
• Assist NAHB’s advocacy efforts on this issue.

Rule Meant to Help Workers Could Harm Them
Most small businesses, including the vast majority of home building companies, operate under tight margins. The huge spike in the overtime threshold could force many employers to convert salaried employees to hourly workers in order to remain solvent. Many employers will be forced to scale back on pay and benefits, as well as cut workers’ hours, in order to avoid overtime requirements and remain in business.
Though the rule is intended to help workers, many could wind up earning less money than they were making previously, and lose the workplace flexibility that comes with being a salaried employee. The rule will also reduce job-advancement opportunities and the hours of full-time construction supervisors, leading to construction delays, increased costs and less affordable housing options for consumers.
Under the new standard, the salary threshold will be indexed to inflation and adjusted every three years, forcing employers to go through this process on an ongoing basis.
NAHB continues to lead the effort to urge Congress to quickly pass the Protecting Workplace Advancement and Opportunity Act (House bill H.R. 4773 and Senate bill S. 2707). The legislation would force the Department of Labor to withdraw this rule until it has considered the effects it would have on small businesses, consumers, workers and the economy.
A Bad Rule that Could have been Worse
The Department of Labor originally proposed to raise the annual salary level to $50,440 to determine if an employee can be exempt from overtime eligibility. NAHB lobbied intensely to get this level reduced and delayed, and in the end achieved a number of improvements in the final rule, including a relatively modest lower threshold of $47,476.
Crunching the numbers, NAHB economists estimate that raising the overtime salary threshold to $50,440 would allow more than 116,000 construction supervisors to become overtime-eligible under this rule. The final threshold of $47,476 impacts 97,213 supervisors.
The difference is significant. In a survey conducted by NAHB last summer, 27% of affected builders said they would respond to the change in the overtime threshold by raising the supervisor’s salary to the new threshold. Thus, an estimated 27% of the 97,213 supervisors would have their salaries raised to $47,476 instead of $50,440. This is a savings of $2,964 per worker, or $77.8 million in labor costs in 2017 because the rule does not take effect until Dec. 1.
