President's Message
BNAHBA Members,
On Monday evening, by a vote of 8 to 1, the Bloomington City Council rejected the Building Construction Board of Appeals recommendation to require home builders to install a residential sprinkler system in all new homes beginning January 1, 2013. Additionally, the council rejected the proposed ordinance that would require all "Spec" houses to install sprinkler systems immediately, as well as a change in the floor construction system for those houses not sprinkled. The combined efforts of your Board of Directors, as well as the cooperative effort in joint meetings with the Board of Realtors, proved to be successful in opposing this ordinance.
This is a victory for Free Choice, Private Property Rights, and promoting Affordable Housing. Your input, your voices, and your presence at committee meetings and city council meetings was extremely critical to this effort.
We, your BNAHBA Board of Directors, will continue to fight for personal property rights, and for those issues which will continue to promote affordable housing. We will monitor all government agencies in our area to insure a fair and equitable airing of all issues affecting our industry.
We thank each and every one of you for your time, support, and letters on this issue.
Your voice matters. Membership matters!
Thank you,
Ed Neaves, MBA, President, Bloomington Normal Area Home Builders Association VP/Partner Stelle Homes, LLC Bloomington Normal, IL 2011 Realtor of the Year BNAR 2011-12 BNAR RPAC Chair realtred@aol.com (O) 309-664-1895 National Association of Realtors Federal Political Coordinator U.S. 11th Congressional District, State of Illinois
