We are well into the legislative session and there are significant bills of influence of which CALBO is taking a position. You've likely read about these bills in the new CALBO publication
"Capitol Update" which highlighted Assembly Bill 2392 (Nazarian: Income Taxes Credit: Seismic Retrofits) where CALBO is providing a strong position of Support. And, Assembly Bill 2873 (Thurmond: Certified Access Specialists) which CALBO has submitted a very strong position of Oppose Unless Amended. CALBO's Legislative Committee will follow these two bills and many others, through their development and will provide comment to both legislative houses in the State Capitol. Of course, CALBO will keep the membership informed with current updates.
Michael Korda quoted that
"to keep Momentum going is to have constantly
greater goals." This approach applies to CALBO, even with our legislative and political organization as government officials. Having greater goals is a key to an advancing and healthy organization. I've shared my vision of greater goals in my Presidential Message where this goal will be a stronger CALBO presence presenting growth and opportunity.
The quote spoke of "
one way to keep Momentum going," but of course there are many ways to create Momentum and keep it going. I believe that the various ways and forms in creating Momentum is through Opportunity. In our case: Opportunity aligned with our CALBO presence. Opportunity to be more active in the legislative process with early presence in the bill-making season; Opportunity to expand CALBO's educational offerings with more technical courses and appeal to wider audiences; and, Opportunity to work with all model code organizations in advancing the messages of building and code officials.
I also contend that we must be prepared for Momentum swings which affect our profession. As building code professionals, we have the committed dedication to carry out our jobs with efficiency and fulfillment of life-safety verification. Often we do not pause for considerations of political effects into our jobs - like myself, I suspect that many of you are about results. In this year, we are confronted with two headline items: Code Adoption and the National Presidential Election.
It has been quite sometime since both the Presidential Election and a code adoption year has occurred together. What does this mean? Of course we will spend the next several months preparing to present our code adoption ordinance to our City Council or County Board of Supervisors. For many of us, this is routine but it is one of the more visible and platform defining moments as building officials. Look for a future posting on CALBO's website of ICC Board Director Stuart Tom's webinar on code adoption. In addition to the new model, State and Local code items, we will spend the next several months preparing for the new codes. CALBO's Education Weeks will concentrate on new code subjects in preparation for the triennial code cycle.
With the National Election - the new Commander-In-Chief will undoubtedly bring about new policies including new vision, new direction and perhaps new economic influences. These influences may, or may not, affect development and construction with subsequent affect to our building departments. Is it only foretelling what the election will bring to our profession - our readiness is the foretelling of Momentum swings and the opportunity to address any change.
I am excited for both the Momentum of CALBO as well as Opportunities that will be created. The creation of these Opportunities are solely upon us - the CALBO membership, the CALBO Board and our great building official profession. We will continue the Momentum this year with more Opportunity and greater goals.
Best regards,
Ron Takiguchi, P.E.
CALBO President

CALBO Reaches Building Industry Job Seekers at the
2016 CALBO Job Fair and Career Development Day
in San Diego
Submitted By: CALBO Outreach and Communications Committee
|
 |
Attracting the new wave of building professionals and helping the existing workforce with career advancement was an obvious focus at this year's CALBO Annual Business Meeting (ABM) in San Diego with the launch of the first annual CALBO Job Fair and Career Development Day on Thursday, March 17, 2016. |
Jurisdictions and the building industry struggle with finding trained, certified, and experienced building industry professionals to support positions like building inspector, permit technician, plans examiner, building department administrator, and sustainability/green building specialist.
CALBO decided to take this challenge head-on by hosting the CALBO Job Fair and Career Development Day at the 2016 ABM to engage job seekers and professionals, allow them to browse open positions, take advantage of employer networking, and meet one-on-one with seasoned industry experts to receive career advice and resume review support.
More than two dozen jurisdictions and participating companies posted employment opportunities at the CALBO Job Fair, including, City of El Cajon,
City of Escondido,
City of Fremont, City of Hayward,
City of La Quinta,
City of Long Beach, City of Oceanside, City of Pasadena, City of Pleasanton,
City of Rancho Cucamonga,
City of Redlands, City of San Clemente, County of San Diego,
City of Santa Monica, American Wood Council, Center for Sustainable Energy, International Code Council, Interwest Consulting Group, among others.
Attendees networking at CALBO's first Job Fair and
Career Development Day
on Thursday, March 17, 2016.
|
The City of San Clemente, County of San Diego, and City of Santa Monica staffed booths for the CALBO Job Fair in order promote open positions and engage directly with interested applicants. Attendees were able to visit the ABM Exhibitor Program booths to meet with industry representatives, allowing them to learn more about the building department and industry professions. They also received information about building products and methods of construction.
With the assistance of CALBO's Outreach and Communications Committee, the event was promoted to San Diego-region universities, community colleges, building technology trade programs, and related industry organizations. Over 25 CALBO members volunteered as CALBO Job Fair organizers, greeters, career advisors and resume reviewers.
CALBO used social media and their web presence to reach attendees more broadly through digital mediums. A Facebook event page was created and the event was promoted via Twitter. The event was also posted on CALBO's website, the ICC Job Board, Craigslist, and AllJobFairs.com. All of this event coordination was a fantastic example of CALBO member teamwork!

The event was a great opportunity to broaden CALBO's presence among job seekers and professionals interested in breaking into this dynamic industry. Several student attendees noted that they had never heard of CALBO before but now plan on staying engaged with the organization to help launch their careers. One attendee who met with City of Merced's David Gonzalves said, "I had no idea that I was going to get this much personalized support. I really feel like I got a lot out of today and have some direction for my career. Thank you very much!"
CALBO's goal for next year's Job Fair is to host the event earlier in the week and possibly hold it on multiple days at the ABM in Newport Beach (March 19-23, 2017). Additional considerations for planning next year's Job Fair include:
- Sponsor meals for Job Fair attendees
- Host a training session on building department job positions and how to advance your career in the building industry
- LinkedIn photo booth
- Sign-up opportunities to continue the conversation online and in person at upcoming events
CALBO is interested in hearing your ideas regarding the CALBO Job Fair. Please submit suggestions and comments to Lauren Herman, CALBO Director of Communications and Training, at
lherman@calbo.org.

CALBO Leadership and Advocacy Day:
An Annual Tradition that Continues to Grow
Submitted by: Nicole Bautista, CALBO Director of Public Affairs
|
|
Last month, building officials from across California came together in Sacramento for CALBO's 11th Leadership & Advocacy Day. Over
40 members of CALBO formed one cohesive voice as they met with members of the California State Legislature.
|
Attendees discussed and educated members of the legislature on two bills of importance, Assembly Bill 2392 (Nazarian) and Assembly Bill 2873 (Thurmond).
Ron Takiguchi, CALBO President, greets CALBO's 2016 Leadership and
Advocacy Day attendees in Sacramento, CA on April 20, 2016.
SUPPORT - Assembly Bill 2392 (Nazarian): Seismic Retrofits: Income Taxes Credit
-
CALBO encourages the support of
AB 2392. This bill will encourage owners of at-risk properties to mafke necessary seismic safety improvements to their buildings before it is demanded.
- Additionally, these necessary retrofit improvements will increase the public safety within our communities and will create a long-term cost savings for California. Every dollar spent on hazard mitigation creates a future savings of nearly four dollars used for disaster relief.
CALBO staff working closely with CALBO members before meetings with State Legislatures.
|
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED - Assembly Bill 2873 (Thurmond): Certified Access Specialists
-
We start the discussion about
AB 2873 stating that CALBO is an avid supporter of rights for persons-with-disabilities and provides for the verification of required accessibility features in building design and construction.
-
Through our work with the author's offices we understand that AB 2873 strives to increase accessibility. However, their suggestion for doing so does not solve the problem and instead will potentially delay permits and plan checks for all projects, including those addressing accessibility.
- AB 2873 requires that by January 1, 2018, all building inspectors who plan check and inspect accessibility requirements to be "certified access specialists".
- Additionally, AB 2873 would increase the state fee from $1 to $4 (currently from local business licenses) and would amend the Government Code to eliminate the sunset for the state fee. This bill would also amend the Government Code to increase the amount of teh fee retained to 90 perfect and require that fee be contributed to the CASp Certification and Training Fund.
- The average passing rate for the CASp certification exam is 30% and, on average, building departments report that it takes individuals three attempts to pass the exam. The exam, offered twice annually, costs approximately $1,600. Most jurisdictions only reimburse for exam passage, so individuals are incurring costs that they are not being reimbursed for. Plus, the test takes close to six months to prepare for, so jurisdictions are exhausting staffing resources while employees are in CASp training.
- We applaud the author for accepting the committee amendments to specify that ONLY building inspectors (employed or retained) WHO conduct accessibility permitting and plan checking will be required to be CASp certified. However, this does not go far enough. Most building inspectors are combination inspectors, inspecting commercial, multi-family and single-family dwellings. Therefore, except for the very few single-family dwelling-only jurisdictions, this bill will still apply to ALL building inspectors.
- For the reasons above, CALBO remains opposed to the bill. CALBO has partnered with CBIA and CBPA to work with th author's office to try to amend the bill in a way that meets their objectives, but does not put local jurisdictions out of compliance with the law.
- The feedback from these meetings has been overwhelmingly positive. Through follow-ups, it has become abundantly clear that the professional and well-informed manner in which the building officials presented their cases resonated with the legislators. CALBO further cemented itself as a leading voice in the building industry.
Both of these bills will be heard this week in the Assembly Appropriations Committee. Look for an update from CALBO after May 31 to learn the status of AB 2392 (Nazarian) and AB 2873 (Thurmond).
CALBO continues to work on many bills within the State Legislature that affect our community. For more information, click
