Fortunately, it has been a busy one in the pool industry. Most of the builders I have spoken with are booked throughout the spring of 2021. We were very fortunate to have been deemed essential, like liquor stores and medical marijuana dispensaries. I don't know if there is a connection there, but I'm happy David Pruette we were able to keep working either way. FSPA President It has seemed odd to be so busy at work but [email protected] S*** You Should Know Q: When starting a dewatering project what rules and regulations should I know? A: Dewatering regulations are generally promulgated and enforced on the local level. The State of Florida does not require statewide permitting for dewatering outside of very limited circumstances involving prior unground fuel storage. It is important that you know and understand your local jurisdictions rules that govern dewatering projects. Building relationships with your local building official, zoning, and development offices will help you navigate local regulations better and solve any conflicts in timely manner. If you have any question about local dewatering regulations or about reaching out to your local officials please contact FSPA Government Affairs Manager Dallas Thiesen at 941-952-9293 or at Dallas@ FloridaPoolPro.com. 4 Florida Pool Prosm • December 2020 FSPA CHAPTER NEWS continually see events cancelled or postponed. Many other industry shows, our cruise, chapter meetings, golf tournaments, and I'm sure many a vacation, were cancelled. As mentioned before, we were incredibly fortunate to get our January Board meeting and Everything Under the Sunsm Expo completed right before the shutdowns began. We are forging ahead with plans to have the show as planned in February. This show is vitally important to this organization and we look forward to seeing you all there. Ours was the only pool show that took place in 2020 and will be the first major show since. Florida and Orlando are open for business! I would also like to thank you all for the opportunity to serve as the 2020 president of an organization that is incredibly important to the pool industry in the state of Florida, but also nationally as a trendsetter. I thank the state Board for trusting me with this responsibility as well. Other than a worldwide pandemic, it's been a pretty smooth year. I couldn't have done it without the help, support, and guidance of Wendy Parker Barsell, the office staff, and the rest of the Executive Committee. I'm excited for the next president, Maurice Bushroe, and the future of the FSPA! The Executive Committee "retreat" has just taken place, all of the committee chairs have been filled, and we fully intend to hit the ground rolling in 2021! I hope you have a very happy holiday season and that you get to spend it with those you love! December 2020 • Florida Pool Prosm 5 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR We have an "F" When you were in school an “F” was bad news – probably meant loss of a privilege at home. But these days an “F” is what we can all be thankful for! Why? Because we live in Florida! Florida is open and you are Free to go to work and restaurants (safety precautions should be followed). Guess what else? February is the Everything Under the Sunsm Expo – Face to Face (facemasks required) at the Orange Wendy Parker Barsell County Convention Center in Orlando February 19- FSPA Executive Director 20, 2021. [email protected] The FSPA is celebrating our Freedom to have an in-person event, which is Free for FSPA members and their employees, in the great Florida weather in February! If you register by December 10 non- members can get Four hours of Free education courses along with Free exhibit hall entry. What will the show look like this year? Familiar, with some tweaks. Face masks are required for everyone. Online registration will make your badge pick up easy and fast – so visit underthesunexpo.com and sign up. Then, you will just have to scan your barcode and pick-up a badge. Registration stations will have a single computer rather than dual lines you’ve seen in the past and the floor will be marked with six foot social distancing stickers. There are more than fifty classes being offered but this year you will select a block of classes which take place in one room. So, rather than taking a 1 hour class in room A, then going to a 2 hour class next door in room B, you will just stay in room A for the full morning session. The seat you select is your seat for the full session – we are working on a system so if you leave the room, when you return it is easy to locate your seat and others know it has been taken. The chairs will be set six feet apart and there will not be tables. Classroom capacity will be at 50% of normal levels (register early!). The exhibit hall will have one entrance and a separate exit. All booths in the hall are corner booths and between booth spaces there will be 8’ tall 6 Florida Pool Prosm • December 2020 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR curtains. Some larger booth spaces may use stanchions to limit the number of attendees in the booth at a time. Exhibit hall hours will likely be extended to reduce density in the hall. The size of the hall is much larger than we need allowing for plenty of extra space for everyone. Exhibitor profiles have been upgraded for 2021 so you can learn more about the company’s products and show specials. The show website allows you to message exhibitors and arrange meeting times. Once registered for the show you will be set up to be able to use the connection portal. Again, get registered early so you can plan your time at the show. I can’t wait to see you face to face, feet on the ground, in February!
