President
From the
I attended the
International Builders
Show (IBS) in Las
Vegas the end of
January and am still
slightly overwhelmed
with the amount of new
product on the market.
If you haven’t been, it
would be well worth
Jennifer Kelly, your time and finances
to attend this huge
President
event at least once.
There are almost an endless line-up of
new and improved products to offer our
clients. Of these, lighting really caught my
attention. It is everywhere! LED lighting
has been brought to the forefront as an easy
and affordable way to light EVERYTHING!
Inside cabinets, drawers, toe-kick, under
cabinets, behind crown, etc. If you are new
to this product it is an easy and functional
product to offer your clients. Check out
more online.
IBS is also a great place for education
opportunities. What are you interested in?
Yep, there is a class for that! NAHB offers
classes on a diverse range of topics before,
during and after the event.
Additionally many vendors have special
training seminars of their own in conjunction

with this event.This can be a terrific way
to expand your knowledge on products
and services to add to your war chest. I
was lucky enough to catch a class by one
of my favorite instructors Joe Lstiburek
(it’s OK, he can’t pronounce it either).
If you were unable to make it to the
show, check out the IBS website
(internationalbuildersshow.com)
for
videos, demonstrations and more. Better
yet, plan on attending the 2017 show in
Orlando January 10-12, 2017.
Bringing it back home, our Regional
Home & Garden Show will be at TRAC
in Pasco Feb 19-21. Nearly 11,000 people
attend this event in 2015! This is a great
way to check out suppliers and service
providers in our area. Booth space is sold
out (there are still several sponsorships
available) but if you’re interested in
participating the HBA is looking for
volunteers. Please contact Cindy at
509.735.2745.
One additional item to share regarding
education- March is education month at
the HBA. There are currently 9 classes
scheduled and several more are getting
scheduling kinks worked out. Raising
the bar on your knowledge is one of the
best investments you can make for your
business. I encourage you to check out the

list of classes on page 4 &5 and challenge
yourself to schedule in at least one! As a
member of the HBA, many classes are
FREE or available for a nominal fee. One
of the instructors will be the guest speaker
for our March General Membership
Meeting (GMM). Chad Bria of BDX
will be giving an overview of digital
media and how to improve your sales and
marketing to the digital buyer. Since this
is an area that I need to work on, I have
signed up for his class on March 10th. For
more information? See the next page….
Now is the time to get signed up for this
informational GMM!
Last but not least, if you are new to the
HBA (or just looking for ways to be more
involved) consider joining a committee.
This is a great way to get plugged in and
network. Being a member has its perks.
Do you know what is available to you?
Our next Member Highlights event is
March 16. Short and to the point, great
way to find out what you need to know!
Dig deeper and see how your investment
in the HBA pays you back!

March 29-30, 8am-5pm
Cost: $75 for HBATC Members / $250 for BIAW Members / $325 for Non-members
RSVP: BIAW - Click Here
Do you need a Construction Stormwater General Permit from Ecology? If your project disturbs over
an acre of land or is in a subdivision, you probably do. Part of the requirements of this permit states: all
sites disturbing over an acre must have a Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL). The
CESCL is trained to inspect, install, and manage stormwater controls on your site. Because Ecology
requires CESCL to be on-call at all times, most companies will need more than one employee trained
as a CESCL.
CESCL Recertification
March 31, 8am-5pm
Cost: $40 HBATC Members / $175 BIAW Members / $250 Non-members
RSVP: BIAW - Click Here
The Department of Ecology requires a CESCL on all stormwater permitted construction sites over an
acre, and CESCL certifications must be renewed every three years with a one-day class. Designed for
residential builders, BIAW’s CESCL recertification course will answer the most-asked builder questions,
including what BMP’s perform best on construction sites, how to keep those BMP’s working, what red
flags signal erosion problems, and how to effectively work with local and state inspectors. This course
will also walk you through the planning and execution of erosion control in a subdivision.

Health Care Corner
The ACA in 2016 - Changes in Policies, Procedures, Politics
2015 brought about several key changes and delays in the Affordable Care Act that have broad, even if sometimes unnoticed, effects
on employers. Below are three key takeaways for employers to know in 2016.
THE CHANGING DEFINITION OF A “LARGE” GROUP.
One of the more substantial changes made to the ACA last year was the passage of the PACE Act in October. Originally, 2016 was
to bring about a change in the definition of “small” group versus a “large” group for health insurance rating purposes. Prior to the
passage of this law, thousands of business who employed between 50-99 employees were going to be considered “small” groups and
thus required to be lumped into the more restrictive community rating model. The passage of the law allows employers with 50 or
more employees to continue to be rated as a “large” group and avoid being community rated.
THE DELAY OF THE “CADILLAC TAX”
The so-called “Cadillac Tax” was delayed by Congress this past December from taking effect in 2018 until 2020 as a part of a rare
bipartisan compromise. The Cadillac tax is scheduled to impose a 40% tax on employers whose insurance coverage cost more than
certain thresholds ($10,200 for individual coverage, and $27,500 for family coverage) or so called “Cadillac” plans. This regulation
has been widely contested since its passage and its delay (and likely demise) was widely applauded within the business community.
DELAY OF THE 1095C AND 1094C REPORTING
On December 28, 2015, the IRS released a notice granting much needed time for employers and their filing services to catch up to
Affordable Care Act Information Returns that many employers are struggling to deal with. In summary:
• Deadline to Furnish Forms 1095-C to Individuals: Extended from February 1, 2016 to March 31, 2016.
• Deadline to File Forms 1094-C and 1095-C with the IRS (paper filers): Extended from February 29, 2016 to May 31, 2016.
• Deadline to File Forms 1094-C and 1095-C with the IRS (electronic filers): Extended from March 31, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
