Wilson: <br /> <br />Sisk: <br /> <br />Wilson: <br /> <br />The Homebuilder's Association is a <br />non-profit trade organization. Our <br />income is partially from dues paid <br />by members and partially from the <br />Parade of Homes, which we sponsor. <br /> <br />What are the dues that McStain would <br />pay to your organization? <br /> <br />Any builder pays about a $350.00 <br />annually. Then, they pay on a <br />permit basis. <br /> <br />Sisk: <br /> <br />Then, part of the permit fees that <br />they pass along to their consumers <br />goes to the Homebuilder's <br />Association? <br /> <br />Wilson: <br /> <br />That's correct. <br /> <br />Sisk: <br /> <br />How much is that from each house? <br /> <br />Wilson: <br />Sisk: <br /> <br />Wilson: <br /> <br />It's in the neighborhood of $20.00. <br /> <br />Suffice it to say that this non- <br />profit corporation pays your salary <br />and other people. <br /> <br />That's correct. We have eight <br />people on staff that are full time <br />employees. <br /> <br />Sisk: <br /> <br />Part of the Homebuilder's <br />Association function is to lobby <br />City Councils, Legislatures, or <br />County Commissioners, or whomever, <br />in terms of presenting the best <br />evidence for the Homebuilder's <br />Association. <br /> <br />Wilson: <br /> <br />That is true. <br /> <br />Sisk: <br /> <br />To the best of your knowledge has <br />the Homebuilder's Association, in <br />the last couple of years, gone in <br />and actually supported service <br />impact fees? <br /> <br />Wilson: <br /> <br />The Homebuilder's Association has <br />proposed legislation that would <br />enable communities, by law, to <br />charge service expansion fees based <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
