President’s Corner My first article in large part will be the

words I spoke after being elected to

serve as your Chapter President on

December 11th aboard the Queen

Mary. I have freshened it up a bit but

am still just as excited and honored to

serve all of you, our valued members.

Good evening everyone! I wish to

thank the membership and the Board

of Directors for your vote of confi-

dence. Most importantly I want to

thank Terry Osburn for the fantastic

job he did as serving the Chapter so

well as its president during the past

four years. His accomplishments were

many and maybe the most important of

his accomplishments, is that he created

a positive outlook for the chapter and

our industry.

Special thanks to Don Vulich, our lead

negotiator in working with our labor

partner Grant Mitchell and the rest of

his team at District Council 36, in

crafting a new labor agreement that is

reasonable in these trying and difficult

times. Special thanks are also in order

for our valued Associate Members

who help plan many of our successful

events and meetings throughout the

year. I would also like to thank Greg

Quinn for his outstanding job as the

association's Executive Director and to

his wife Kim for their hard work and

dedication to this chapter.

I have seen many of you at various

meetings. But some of you may not

know each other. That is why it is im-

portant that we gather at social events

such as this, so we can exchange ideas,

discuss business issues, and build rap-

port with each other to work together

to improve the industry as a whole. I

hope you noticed that we have a new

member on the Board and that is

Robert Stewart! In the past two years,

Robert has been a regular at our luncheon

meetings, attended our social events, state

PDCA conferences, and has shown an

increasing interest in this association and

our industry. With Robert's years of experi-

ence in our industry, I know all of us on

the Board of Directors will value his input

and together we will work on issues impor-

tant to our industry now and into the fu-

ture.

As most of you know, our association is

comprised of various industry leaders who

are involved in the Residential, Commer-

cial, and Industrial sides of the industry.

We have always welcomed any profes-

sional signatory painting contractor into

our association and have never restricted

membership to the "big boys". We have

over 60 contractor companies , ranging

from the small 2-3 person shop to the lar-

ger contractor and represent all of them

equally on issues and events that face our

ever changing and challenging industry at

the local, state and national level.

I realize that there are other associations

out there, but you really have to admit, the

Los Angeles Painting & Finishing Contrac-

tors Association has provided all of our

members the best information on issues

concerning our industry. This information

is provided to you in many ways: Chapter

Newsletter, Luncheon Meetings, website,

fax, mail, e mail updates. We also offer our

members a number of free services, includ-

ing employee safety books, estimating

guides, construction law books, green

training classes, and PDCA Contractor

College courses. I can tell you that other

similar associations have not and do not go

this far in detail to keep you informed on

industry issues or events that affect our

businesses. So the question I ask myself, is

why in the world would anyone leave this

association?

After the first of the year, you will have the

Steve Edgar

opportunity to rate your chapter.

That's right you will be receiving a

report card in which you can tell

your Board how you feel the chapter

is doing and what you would like to

see us focus on, or any suggestions

you may have. I promise you that the

report card will be simple to fill out

and once you do so, just place it in

the return envelope and mail it to

your chapter office. We are even

providing the postage.

Has anyone had the opportunity to

visit our website? You should, as

under Terry Osburn's tenure, our

website has gone through a major

transformation. With the help of our

marketing professional John Teno-

rio, we now have a website that

showcases who we are and why our

contractor and associate member

companies are a 'step ahead" of the

competition. With just one click you

can view our marketing DVD, a list

of all our members, past newsletters

and a number of other areas promot-

ing our chapter and industry. For

2011, it is my goal to add a Forum

page on our website so members can

post questions concerning industry/

association issues. The area will be

available to everyone and will be a

great place to stay informed and

voice your concerns.

My wife Pat and I hope that you and

your family had a very Merry Christ-

mas and that 2011 will be bring you

health and prosperity!

SB189 Passes

SB189 (Lowenthal) has passed and

brings to an end the decade long re-

by the California Law Revision

Commission. This will renumber and

recast every statute pertaining to Me-

Payment Bonds, among other statutes

relating to recovery by contractors.

Those changes do not become effective

until July 1, 2012 and once effective,

all of the references to specific statutes

that pertain to the enforcement of Me-

chanic's Liens, Stop Notices and Pay-

ment Bonds will be obsolete. While

most of the changes in SB190 are not

substantive (they do not change the

substance of most of the statutes) the

law will be contained in different stat-

utes and the current references will not

be correct. Source: Abdulaziz, Grossbart & Rudman News,

Project Labor Agreement News

Wilshire Grand Hotel

Officials from Korean Air and real es-

tate developer Thomas Properties

Group announced on December 15 that

the companies have signed a PLA with

the Los Angeles and Orange Counties

Building and Construction Trades

Council for an estimated $1 billion

redevelopment of Los Angeles's Wil-

shire Grand Hotel. It is estimated that

the hotel's renovations would create

about 7,200 direct construction jobs

and 5,000 construction related jobs

over the four years that it will take to

complete the project.

Korean Air and Thomas Properties

Group proposed the redevelopment in

April 2009 wanting to construct two

LEED-certified high rise towers to the

replace the hotel's original building.

The towers will house nearly 560 hotel

rooms and up to 100 condominiums,

along with 275,000 square feet of retail

shops and office space.

LAX Extends PLA

The LA/OC Building Trades Council

and Los Angeles International Airport

have agreed to a 10-year extension of

the PLA that has been in effect for 10

years and was scheduled to expire at

the end of the year, adding a local hire

provision and a list of new projects to

the agreements original language,

Richard Slawson, executive secretary

of the LA/OC trades council said.

Some of the new projects listed in the

agreement include terminal remodel-

ing, a connector between terminals,

new taxi lanes, and a central utilities

plant. The projects in the agreement

total $1.6 billion.

1099 Repeal Efforts Fall Short in

the Senate - For Now

On November 29, 2010 the U.S.

Senate failed to approve two amend-

expansion of IRS Form 1099 report-

ing requirements. 67 votes were

needed in order to suspend the rules

Sen. Johanns (R-Neb) which would

have paid for repeal with unspent

fice of Management and Budget,

failed 61-35. The amendment offered

by Sen. Baucus (D-Mont), which

was not paid for, failed 44-53. Both

McGraw-Hill Construction

Forecasts Gains for

Commercial Construction

in 2011 In its 2010 Construction Outlook re-

port, released on October 29, 2010,

McGraw-Hill Construction estimates

that construction starts nationwide will

show a decline of 2% in 2010, followed

by an increase of 8% in 2011. The 2010

figures would follow declines of 24% in

2009, 13% in 2008 and 7% in 2007. As

in 2009, the primary cause of this year's

decline in commercial construction,

which is expected to pull back by 17%

from 2009 levels - the sharpest decline

of any market sector.

"2010 was another year of double-

digit declines for commercial construc-

tion," said Robert A. Murray, MHC vice

president of economic affairs. "The de-

clines slowed compared to 2009, and

commercial construction looks to be on

the uptick in 2011." The Outlook report

forecasts a 16% increase in commercial

building starts in 2011. The report also

notes that the "diminished 2010 per-

formance for construction has its coun-

terpart in the fragile U.S. economy. The

(construction) economic recovery

seemed to take hold at the end of 2009

and in the early months of 2010, but

then it lost momentum during the

Spring. MHC predicts that if access to

credit remains limited, this could possi-

bly "restrain any upturn for construction

in the near future."

Looking to 2011, the report predicts

that firms will remain slow to hire and

the fiscal condition of the states will

remain weak, with growth mainly

driven by single family housing (+27%)

NEWS FROM APPRENTICESHIP SCHOOL by Jesus Fernandez, Director

Lead Paint RRP Enforcement goes into Effect on January 1, 2011 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) RRP (Renovation, Repair

and Painting) Rule requires Federal "lead painting safety certification" for

remodeling or demolition in homes, schools, and childcare facilities con-

structed in and before 1978. Contractors, or at least one person employed by

a contractor's firm should have either completed the necessary training or be

enrolled in the training by December 31, 2010. Penalties for not complying

with the new law are severe and can be as high as $37,500 per day!

Your Apprenticeship School has offered regularly scheduled RRP training

during the Fall. Please call the school immediately if you have not received

this training as of yet (323-727-2811).

California Council to Amend

Apprenticeship Regulations The California Apprenticeship Council

(CAC)will hold hearings in January

2011 on proposals to amend California

Code of Regulations Title Eight

(8CCR) to clarify the requirements for

apprentice dispatch requests on public

work projects and distinguish between

types of apprentice complaints.

The CAC, which is a branch of the

California Department of Industrial

Relations, has proposed amending sec-

tions in Chapter Two of 8 CCR that

outline investigation and hearing pro-

cedures regarding apprentice com-

plaints. The current regulations do not

distinguish complaints about appren-

ticeship programs from disciplinary

complaints, which makes the "process

of reviewing apprenticeship program

actions cumbersome and time consum-

ing than is beneficial." The CAC also

seeks to provide clarity, consistency

and fairness in the dispatch of appren-

tices to public works contractors, by

clarifying the dispatch request

requirements. Meetings on the propos-

als will be held on January 5th in San

Francisco and January 6th in Los

Angeles.

Gallup Poll Finds 52% of

Americans Approve of Unions Just over half of Americans said they ap-

prove of labor unions, according to a

Gallup poll conducted in August 2010, a

slight increase from last year's figure but

still the second-lowest share in the 74-year

history of the survey.

Last year's figure was the lowest union

approval rate in the history of the poll

question, which Gallup has asked each

year since 1936. At that time, 72% of re-

spondents said they approved of unions,

and peaked at 75% during the 1950's be-

fore declining in the late 1970's and early

1980's. In the years prior to 2009, the fig-

ure hovered around 60% before dropping

below 50% for the first time, Gallup said.

By political party, Gallup found that while

71% of self-identified Democrats said they

approved of unions, that proportion fell to

34% among Republicans. 49% of Inde-

pendents approved of unions. Source: Construction Labor Report, August 19,
