The City of Bismarck currently uses a combination of sales tax and special assessment revenue to fund street maintenance projects. These projects include preventative maintenance work such as chip seals and crack sealing as well as more substantial pavement rehabilitation work such as mill and overlay and reconstruction. The City of Bismarck City Commission initiated a Special Assessment Task Force (SATF) in the spring of 2017 to identify a revenue source to replace special assessments. The SATF recommended a monthly street maintenance fee be added to the utility bill.
Utility Fee bill which was not passed but turned into an interim study. The 2021 ND Legislative Session included HB 1419 which authorizes a city to levy an infrastructure fee in lieu of special assessments.
The City of Bismarck City Commission reconvened the SATF in July 2021 led by Commissioners Nancy Guy and Mark Splonskowski with representation from residents, bankers, land Simultaneously, during the North Dakota 2017 Legislative developers, Manufactured Home Park owner/operators, Session, the creation of such a fee was removed from the Bismarck-Mandan Board of Realtors, Bismarck-Mandan powers of home rule communities like Bismarck. The 2019 Chamber EDC, Downtowners, Bismarck-Mandan Apartment ND Legislative Session included the introduction of a Street Association and Bismarck-Mandan Home Builders Association. This group met 15 times through March 2022 to analyze the particulars of what a street maintenance fee should look like for our community. Recommendations from the SATF were presented to the Bismarck City Commission in March 2022 with direction received from the City Commission to further refine the rate structure and proposed home rule charter language through frequent meetings of a subcommittee of the SATF. This subcommittee met 11 times through June 2022 and presented recommendations to the City Commission at the June 28, 2022 Commission meeting. Upcoming tasks include a joint meeting of the SATF subcommittee and the City Commission. It is anticipated additional direction would be provided at that meeting to potentially further study the issue, receive additional public comment and/or craft language for a home rule charter amendment for the citizens of Bismarck to consider passing. If the home rule charter amendment passed, there would be subsequent public input during the creation of the enabling ordinances.

School is about to start again; you can tell when you round the corner at Target and see the massive “Back to School” display at the back of the school. Sure, we may moan and groan as we walk by, but we still turn into the aisle and begin to throw things in our cart. As we start to look at the new school year and all that comes with it, we should stop and think about what we can do, as business leaders, to get more school-aged kids interested in the trades. And not just Seniors, mind you…let’s start thinking earlier. Elementary school is when kids begin to dream of what they want to do when they grow up and getting homebuilding into their minds then is a must.
KAYLA PULVERMACHER NDAB CEO
MIKE JANGULA 2022 NDAB PRESIDENT
Governor Burgum has shown himself to be a huge advocate. During the Special Session last year, Burgum signed several additional pieces of legislation that address the state’s workforce shortage. This included $88 million in matching funds for private-sector investment in career centers where high school students can pursue high-demand careers in the trades, tech, and other sectors; $15 million for adding or expanding local workforce development incentive grants; and $5 million for technical skills training grants and a workforce innovation grant program. The dollars are there; we just need to help leverage them.
In Bismarck, Bobcat has partnered with the Bismarck Career Academy and provides the school with employees who are skilled welders in hopes that the first-hand experience will help students commit to a welding job. Local schools, such as Williston High School, Bismarck State College, and Northland Community Technical College in East Grand Forks, work with local builders on building a home and selling it in the community. We even have locals that have read the book “The House that She Built” to elementary school classes. The book aims to educate kids about the people and skills that go into building a home. But perhaps the easiest thing that any of us could do to help is volunteer to be on any of CTE’s Program Advisory Committees. Each program has a local Advisory Committee which an object to give direction in program offerings and keep curriculum up-to-date. So as this 2022-2023 school year starts, let’s think about how we can continue to get more kids motivated towards our industry. It may be as simple as reaching out locally and asking, “how can I help?” Kayla Pulvermacher, NDAB CEO Mike Jangula, 2022 NDAB President

Most people don’t realize the number of things that we can help them with at Haider Glass. We are a full-service glass company, meaning that we can do everything from fixing their screens to designing a custom glass floor. We want to be able to create a relationship with our customers so that, no matter what need arises, we can take care of them. One of the main foundations of our business is to serve & we use the motto “enter as strangers, leave as friends.” We have worked on projects such as a custom glass floor in a home to the tiger exhibit at the zoo, as well as put in the highest security glass in a power plant for increased protection & security. But we, Paula & Tom Haider daily, cut small pieces of glass for items such as a picture frame & also work on items such as campers, motorhomes, automotive glass, storm windows/screens & much more. We are both out in the community installing & designing as well as doing work in our shop for customers. A lot of people see the bigger items that we do & don’t realize that we do small things as well. Serve. We believe a business is in the community to serve that community. Issues will always happen in business from time to time but integrity & service will stand the test of time. Courtney Meier
A typical day consists of a lot of projects. For example, while I am writing this, we are installing two showers & a house full of mirrors, installing windshields, installing windows in homes, fabricating custom window well covers, cutting glass for cabinetry, & working on a motorhome & a boat. We also meet with customers on projects that they are working on throughout the day to design & make their dreams come to fruition. Tom will always serve someone & is a jack of all trades. He has done bodywork in the past on vehicles & used to, frequently, take totaled out vehicles & restore them. He has also worked in construction & on the railroad. He used to get calls at all times of the day or night for glass emergencies & even worked on the disaster team in the past where he had 24 hours to get on a plane & meet a team to fix glass when there was a natural disaster. So, he would be doing something that included helping people & using his hands. Paula’s background is in business & finance, & she has also worked in health care & she has a love for children so she would be doing something that allows her to use her heart & business mind to help others. Courtney is very similar where she loves to serve others. Courtney has a background in both business, health care, & has worked for a title company in the past. She started working at 14 years old & hasn’t stopped since. She enjoys anything that keeps her busy serving others & doesn’t like to do just one task all day. So, some sort of organizational management would be her job if she didn’t run the show at Haider Glass. Tom had worked in the glass industry for 25 years when we started Haider Glass. A great friend & mentor of ours had been speaking to us for years about starting our own business. Tom was known for windshields & house windows & did some showers & mirrors. We really wanted to expand what we were able to offer our community. So, when the company that Tom worked for sold their company to a franchise, it was a great time for us to expand into owning our own business. We have now been in business for 18 years & Tom has been in the glass industry for 43 years. Haider Glass Specialties is the only full-service glass company in the region. There are glass companies for home or auto or commercial or agricultural. We do it all. With Tom’s 43 years in the glass industry, he has seen & done it all. We constantly have calls saying other glass companies have recommended him for a job. There is no better compliment than that. We work with our family & an amazing group of people who we have the privilege of coming to work & working alongside every day. We have been able to see our grandchildren grown up at the office & work with our children. We have employees that have worked with us from the time before they graduated high school until the time they are married & have children & beyond. Then, we get to serve our community in their need. We have jobs that are new items; a remodel needing a custom shower door, window well covers, or custom mirrors for a new home. But we also work with emergencies; someone’s home was broken into, their family member was diagnosed with cancer & their windshield broke when on their way to town for appointments, etc. So, we can hear the need, & service more than just the glass part of it. Our first & foremost favorite thing to do is spend time with our children, their spouses, & our grandchildren. Our son & daughter-in-law have two girls. They are involved in figure skating & swimming. Our daughter & son-in-law have two daughters. One of them figure skates & swims & our youngest swims & is in 4-H. Tom’s favorite fishing partners are his grand-girls. He doesn’t even mind if he catches fish! He just enjoys watching them. Courtney’s family is busy with farming on weekends & the girls have even started their own cattle business.
Summer is our busiest time of the year with very long work hours, but we try to make each moment count. We all enjoy water sports, camping, fishing, & love ND sunsets. We ware truly blessed to live in this amazing community & we don’t take that for granted. We are so thankful to be a small part of growing the Bismarck-Mandan area. www.haiderglass.com www.facebook.com/haiderglass

Consumer prices reached a new 40-year high in June as shelter, energy and food prices continued to surge at the fastest pace in decades. This marked the fourth straight month for inflation above an 8% rate and was the largest year-over-year gain since November 1981. Both energy and shelter index recorded their largest annual gains since April 1980 and February 1991. This persistent inflation is likely to push the Federal Reserve to continue tightening monetary policy and raise rates at an accelerated pace. At this stage, it appears that a 75 basis point increase is the floor for the next Fed move on the fed funds rate. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 1.3% in June on a seasonally adjusted basis, following an increase of 1.0% in May. This was the largest monthly increase since September 2005. Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the “core” CPI increased by 0.7% in June, following an increase of 0.6% in the past two months.
May. The indexes for owners’ equivalent rent (OER) increased by 0.7% and rent of primary residence (RPR) increased by 0.8% over the month, the largest monthly increase since April 1986. Monthly increases in OER have averaged 0.6% over the last three months. More cost increases are coming from this category, which will add to inflationary forces in the months ahead. These higher costs are driven by lack of supply and higher development costs. Higher interest rates will not slow these costs, which means the Fed’s tools are limited in addressing shelter inflation. During the past twelve months, on a not seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI rose by 9.1% in June, following an 8.6% increase in May. The “core” CPI increased by 5.9% over the past twelve months, following a 6.0% increase in May. The food index rose by 10.4% and the energy index climbed by 41.6% over the past twelve months.
While the increase was broad-based, the indexes for gasoline, shelter, and food were the largest contributors to the increase in the headline CPI in June. After rising 3.9% in May, the energy index rose by 7.5% in June with the gasoline and natural gas index rising 11.2% and 8.2%, the largest monthly increase in natural gas index since October 2005. Meanwhile, both food and food at home index rose by 1.0% in June. Other major component indexes also continued to rise in June. The indexes for shelter (+0.6%), used cars and trucks (1.6%), medical care (0.7%), motor vehicle insurance (1.9%) and new vehicles (0.7%). The index for shelter, which makes up more than 40% of the “core” CPI, rose by 0.6% in June, the same increase as in NAHB constructs a “real” rent index to indicate whether inflation in rents is faster or slower than overall inflation. It provides insight into the supply and demand conditions for rental housing. When inflation in rents is rising faster (slower) than overall inflation, the real rent index rises (declines). The real rent index is calculated by dividing the price index for rent by the core CPI (to exclude the volatile food and energy components). The Real Rent Index rose by 0.1 in June. Over the first six months of 2022, the monthly change of the Real Rent Index stayed virtually unchanged, on average.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) published Revised Appraisal Validity Periods guidance that extends the initial appraisal validity period from 120 days to 180 days and the appraisal update validity period from 240 days to one year for Single Family Title II forward mortgage programs. These changes align FHA appraisal validity periods with industry practices, making it easier for lenders to manage appraisal validity while potentially reducing appraisal costs for mortgagees and ultimately, borrowers seeking FHA-
Jerry Konter, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder and developer from Savannah, Ga., issued the following statement in response to House Ways and Means Committee Hearing, Nowhere to Live: Profits, Disinvestment, and the American Housing Crisis: “Committee members at today’s hearing would have benefited by hearing directly from builders and developers who can best speak to the challenges and barriers to solving our housing crisis. Rising home prices and interest rates are taking a terrible toll on housing affordability, with 87.5 million households—or roughly 69% of all U.S. households—unable to afford a new medianpriced home.
insured mortgage financing. The guidance applies to case numbers assigned on or after June 1, 2022. The appraisal validity period establishes the maximum time an appraisal report may be used for an FHA-insured mortgage. This also includes the time mortgagees can utilize an appraisal update to extend the initial appraisal validity period. The updates highlighted in this guidance will be incorporated in a future version of the Single Family Housing Policy Handbook.
potential to help housing recover quickly and reduce inflationary pressures. NAHB supports ways to incentivize housing such as the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act (H.R. 2573), and converting the mortgage interest deduction to a targeted, ongoing mortgage interest credit, which would better reach lower and moderateincome Americans.
“Congress can and must use its legislative tools to help reduce recession risk and increase the probability of a soft economic landing. Passing legislation that will help the home building industry increase the much-needed housing supply and directly confronting the supply-side challenges that are driving inflation are a start. And finally, we urge “The housing affordability crisis is driven by one factor: as Congress to call on the Biden administration to suspend a nation, we have failed to produce enough housing to keep tariffs on Canadian lumber imports into the United States up with demand. With the threat of a recession looming and to immediately enter into negotiations with Canada on over the economy, production-focused incentives have the a new softwood lumber agreement.”
Rising inflation and higher mortgage rates are slowing traffic of prospective home buyers and putting a damper on builder sentiment. In June, the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market (HMI) fell two more points to a level of 67 — the lowest HMI reading since June 2020. Six consecutive monthly declines for the HMI is a clear sign of a slowing housing market amidst a high-inflation, slow-growth economic environment.
after posting four consecutive monthly declines on rising mortgage rates and worsening affordability conditions, new home sales posted a solid gain in May as some buyers rushed into the market in advance of the Federal Reserve’s June interest rate hike. New home sales surged 10.7% to a 696,000 seasonally adjusted annual rate, although year-to-date sales are 10.6% lower compared to a year ago.
As inflation is running at a 40-year high, economic policy needs to focus on improving the supply side of the economy by bringing down material, energy and transportation costs. Largely because of these supply-chain challenges, single-family starts decreased 9.2% in May to an annual rate of 1.55 million. Single-family permits decreased as well, dropping 5.5% and bringing the annual rate down to 1.05 million — its lowest pace since July 2020. Further declines are expected in the months ahead, which itself is a recession warning for the coming quarters.
New single-family home inventory remained elevated at a 7.7-month supply, up 42.6% over last year, with 444,000 available for sale. However, only 8.3% of new home inventory is completed and ready to occupy. The median sales price dipped to $449,000 in May, but is up 15% compared to a year ago, primarily because of higher construction and development costs, including materials.
We foresee a modest economic recession in mid-2023 given tightening financial conditions and increased economic uncertainty. Higher interest rates will undoubtedly slow Total existing home sales in May — including single-family housing and business investment, acting as a drag on economic homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops — fell 3.4% to a growth. The unemployment rate is therefore expected to rise seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.41 million. On a year-over- from near cycle lows to above 5% in 2023, while broader-based year basis, sales were 8.6% lower than a year ago. However, inflation will ease further as the economy slows.
