Newsletter 2014-15 April 11, 2014 GOVERNOR CALLS SPECIAL Newsletter 2014-15 April 11, 2014 GOVERNOR CALLS SPECIAL SESSION TO ADDRESS WAGE BILL, BUDGET ISSUES Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin says he plans to call a special session of the Legislature to correct problems with the minimum wage bill and to address issues with the 2015 fiscal year budget. The session is expected to be in conjunction with the May legislative interim meetings. H.B. 4283, which increases the state’s minimum wage incrementally, from $7.25 per hour to $8 per hour on January 1, 2015 and to $8.75 on January 1, 2016, contained an unintended consequence. As it is currently drafted, the bill prevents West Virginia employers from relying on certain existing overtime exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The business community, municipal and county governments, higher education institutions and others stated that previously exempt workers will become subject to overtime and maximum hours provisions. Cities and counties alone stated their fire and police budgets would increase hundreds of thousands of dollars. They recommended the governor veto the bill to eliminate the overtime language. Joining Gov. Tomblin in the bill’s signing were Senate President Jeff Kessler and House Speaker Tim Miley. They all pledged to preserve the federal exemptions and overtime provisions when the bill is brought up during the special session. State revenues continue to lag behind estimates. With one quarter left in this fiscal year, the state has a $78 million shortfall in revenues. While personal income tax collections are up, sales taxes are falling behind. (See this week’s Highway Bulletin for State Road Fund revenues). Also, the tax credit which was applied to flex fuel vehicles continues to mount and tax officials won’t know until after the April 15 tax returns come in what the total cost will be. Legislators rescinded the tax credit when it was determined it was costing the state general fund tens of millions of dollars. The governor performed a line item veto on the budget bill, trimming $67 million from the budget approved by legislators following this year’s legislative session. The governor has pledged to restore some of the cuts which will have to be addressed in the May special session. The governor signed 203 bills, including S.B. 373, the bill relating to water resource protection and the regulation of above-ground storage tanks. He vetoed eight bills. CONSTRUCTION UP 29 PERCENT THROUGH FEBRUARY Contracts for future construction in West Virginia in February 2014 were up 25 percent from February 2013, $162 million in 2014 versus $129 million in 2013. Nonresidential construction experienced the largest boost, from $75 million in February 2013 to $108 million in February 2014. Nonbuilding construction was up 37 percent from $27 million in February 2013 to $37 million in February 2014. Nonbuilding construction includes roads, bridges, water and sewer facilities, dams and airports. Residential construction was down 39 percent, from $27 million in February 2013 to $16 million in February 2014. McGraw-Hill Construction provides the following totals on construction activity in West Virginia through February. 2014 2013 Percent Change Nonresidential $232,545,000 $130,096,000 79 Residential 40,872,000 49,608,000 -18 Nonbuilding 75,718,000 90,691,000 -17 TOTAL CONSTRUCTION $349,135,000 $270,395,000 29 WEST VIRGINIA’S CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYMENT HAD HIGHEST PERCENTAGE DECLINE IN A YEAR PERIOD Construction firms added job in 37 states between February 2013 and February 2014, according to an analysis by the AGC of America of U.S. Labor Department data. Unfortunately, West Virginia had the highest percentage decline in construction employment, ranking the state 51 out of 50 states and the District of Columbia. In February 2013, 35,200 were employed in the construction industry in West Virginia. In February 2014, the number is 32,900, a 6.5% reduction. This puts West Virginia with the highest percentage decline, followed by District of Columbia (-5.0 percent, -700 jobs); Montana (-2.9 percent, -700 jobs); Indiana (-2.6 percent, - 3,300 jobs) and New Hampshire (-2.2 percent, -500 jobs). West Virginia also dropped employment from January 2014 to February 2014, 33,000 to 32,900. To see a list of all the rankings, click here. The CAWV has communicated with legislators and the press that the lack of investment in infrastructure projects has a direct impact on construction employment. Funding for highways, bridges, schools and water and sewer systems creates jobs and economic development. The latest U.S. Labor Department figures provide an excellent argument why additional funding is needed for highway and other infrastructure programs. REASONABLE SUSCIPION WEBINAR ATTRACTS SEVERAL MEMBER FIRMS The CAWV held the third webinar in the CAWV Educational Program sponsored by BrickStreet Insurance on Thursday, March 10. The webinar entitled ‘Reasonable Suspicion Testing for Drug and Alcohol Abuse’ was presented by Randy Pauley, Administrator of Employee Screening Programs, Health Research Systems, (HRS). Mr. Pauley was a police officer prior to 2001 when he began working with drug testing programs. He credited his experience as a police officer in elevating his awareness of how important it is to make sure your workforce is drug and alcohol free. Mr. Pauley did an excellent presentation and emphasized that companies must make sure employees are knowledgeable of the drug testing policy they have in place. The CAWV and BrickStreet would like to thank Randy Pauley and HRS for sharing their knowledge with CAWV members. The next webinar in the series is scheduled for Thursday, May 15, at 2:00 p.m. ‘Equipment Maintenance for Mobile Equipment’ will be presented by Terry Taylor, Senior Consultant with IDCON, Inc. An email will be sent to members with registration details one week prior to the webinar. This webinar, along with other past webinars in the CAWV Educational Series sponsored by BrickStreet, will be available on the CAWV website in the near future. CAWV BOARD MEETING MAY 8 AT MARDI GRAS CASINO & RESORT President Phil Weser has called a meeting of the CAWV Board of Directors for Thursday, May 8, at 4:00 p.m. at Mardi Gras Casino & Resort in Cross Lanes.

The property was listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register (VLR) in 1968 and the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1969. The additional information included in this update was not included in the initial nomination. Contributing buildings that were part of the original nomination include the Gentlemen’s Bath House (1760s, mid- 1820s), the Ladies’ Bath House (mid-1870s), the Drinking Spring (1870s), and the Reception House (c. 1890). There are two noncontributing structures (footbridges built or rebuilt in recent decades) and one noncontributing building (c. 1940 frame shed). Much of the information herein was recently developed as part of a historic structure report for the bath house buildings.1 The purpose of the nomination update is 1) to chronicle in more detail the significant architectural features of the bath houses and associated secondary resources and provide a complete inventory of contributing and non-contributing resources 2) to provide specific start and end dates for the period of significance; 3) to add additional areas of significance; 4) to provide justification for classifying the property as significant at the national and statewide levels; and 5) to provide current maps and photos showing the property’s historic boundaries and locations of resources.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, Washington, ]). 0., March 9, 190Jh SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for publication as a bulletin, a gazetteer of Virginia. Very respectful!}7 , HENRY GANNETT, Geographer. Hon. CHARLES D. WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. A GAZETTEER OF VIRGINIA. By HENKY GANNETT. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. Virginia is one of tho easternmost States of the Union. It lies on the Atlantic seaboard between latitudes 36° 30' and 39° 30' and longi­ tudes 75° and 84°. Its limits are very irregular, except on the south, and even there the boundary, though nominally a parallel of latitude, is actually by no means such a line. From the Atlantic Ocean, just above the parallel of 38°, the bound­ ary crosses the peninsula known as the Eastern Shore, which separates Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic, in a direction south of west. Then, after a sinuous course among islands fringing the west coast of this peninsula, it crosses Chesapeake Bay to a point on the south side of the mouth of Potomac River. It follows the south bank of the Potomac at low-water line up to Harpers Ferry, where the river cuts through the Blue Ridge. Here the boundary leaves the river and makes a generally southwest course, with several jogs to the northwest, to a point near the head of the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy.
