March 20, 2015 I assume everyone is enjoying the warmer spring weather…hopefully it sticks around. (Editor’s Note: John wrote this letter last week, when it was still warm. I don’t think he actually jinxed us, so try not to hold it against him.) I know I noticed a vast improvement in people’s moods (especially mine) once we saw a few 30-40 degree days.

An initiative that is very important to our organization is improving development permitting within the City of Rochester. Our organization has been involved with this issue for several years, starting with the

Development Permitting Task Force. Created in 2013, this task force, which included several RAB members, was chaired by Jerry Williams and met for over a year. Several recommendations came out of the task force, including the creation of a Development Coordinator position. Since this recommendation, RAB has been supportive of the city implementing this new position. Recently, we have created a new RAB committee called the Development Permitting Advisory Committee (DPAC). This committee meets monthly to discuss development and permitting issues, processes, and solutions to problems. The group is led by Rochester City Clerk Aaron Reeves, who is the new City of Rochester conduit for development and permitting issues. Along with Aaron, the committee is made up of RAB commercial contractors, residential contractors, subcontractors, remodelers and consultants. The mission of the committee is process improvement. This is not just a complaining session, it is a group that is looking for solutions to make the process smoother for not only the building industry, but for the developers looking to expand in the Rochester area. We want to create a seamless and transparent system that is easy to navigate for all. We are excited to see the results of their efforts in the coming months. Contact John, Matt or myself with any questions regarding this new committee.

Make sure and get outside and enjoy the weather. Hoping you April is a successful and profitable one.

Construction waste management needs to be A Litter Bit Better!

Every year since 2007, thousands of residents of the City of Rochester have participated in the annual city-wide litter pick up event called Help Make Rochester A Litter Bit Better! Over 95 tons of litter has been removed from Rochester to date through this program. There are many sources of this litter, including construction sites. Here are two examples of volunteers have said about construction site waste:

“The majority of the litter appeared to be construction site waste from the ever-present overflowing construction dumpsters in our neighborhood.”

“In our area, construction sites were number one when it came to producing litter.”

Won’t you help make Rochester A Litter Bit Better! by properly managing your waste onsite? The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Construction Stormwater Permit states: “collected sediment, asphalt and concrete millings, floating debris, paper, plastic, fabric, construction and demolition debris and other wastes must be disposed of properly and must comply with MPCA disposal requirements.” Proper waste management will not only help you comply with your permit, it improves environmental quality and shows community pride.

Steps to managing your construction waste:

1. Identify all storm drains and conveyance systems near the construction area and keep them free of garbage.

2. Use fencing to construct a “garbage corral” or have a dumpster placed on the site in a convenient location with easy access. Keep the container or containment area covered to prevent the wind from carrying away waste.

3. Inform vendors and subcontractors of your waste management plan and locations of receptacles to ensure they keep your site clean by putting debris in the correct place.

4. Walk the site daily to collect renegade trash. A perimeter fence tall enough to catch windblown debris is another option to prevent debris from leaving the site and becoming litter.

5. Transport your waste to a permitted solid waste facility before the container is overfull. Make sure the load is covered during transport.

6. Recycle. By sorting your construction waste or demolition debris, you may be able to save on disposal costs.

Kruse Lumber was founded in 1915 by Henry Johannes (H.J.) Kruse. H.J. paid $1,500 for two large city lots and started building in the fall of 1915. That building still stands today across the street from the lumberyard. In the winter of 1915-1916 H. J. saw some farmers cutting ice in the “mill pond” (now Silver Lake) across the street. He sold them two barn jobs; his first sales in Rochester. His first house job sold that spring, for $525.

Rochester Real Estate Monthly Housing DataFebruary 2015


Last year 3.2 million net new jobs were created, the best performance since 2000, and total employment is now several million higher than it was before the recession began. In addition, the unemployment rate which is 5.7% continues to fall and should be at or near 5% by year end, a level economists consider full employment. All of this good news, yet serious problems remain. The labor force participation rate (LFRP) is at levels last seen in 1978, which makes the unemployment rate look better than it really is and after adjusting for inflation, wages have been declining for years. What is going on?

The LFPR peaked at 67.3% in January 2000 and had had already fallen to 66% by the start of the Great Recession in January 2008, suggesting that other forces beyond the weak economy were already at work pushing it down. That said, by the end of the Great Recession in June 2009, the LFPR was down just half-of-one-percentage-point to 65.5%. Normally, it then would have started rising as the improving economy pulled unemployed workers back into the labor force from the ranks of the unemployed. Instead, the LFPR went into free fall, hitting a low of 62.8% in October 2013 where it has remained since.

The decline in the LFPR from 66% to 62.8% not only represents a loss of four and a half million workers, but also has no historic precedent. That said, much of the decline was inevitable. About half the decline is due to demographics. That is the number of Baby Boomers who are retiring is currently vastly outpacing the number of new entrants into the labor market. Exacerbating this trend is that today’s youngsters are better educated and thus spend longer in school than earlier generations, further delaying their entrance into the world of work.

Another quarter of the decline is due to the severity of the recent recession, and the remaining 25% decline is simply unexplained. These might be people who are obtaining additional education, receiving disability insurance and may or may not work again, those who have become unemployable and those who simply gave up. Whatever the cause, knowing how many people in this category return to work is critical to understanding what lies ahead.

Some have returned, some will return and some will never return. However, no matter what happens to those persons, close to 10,000 Baby Boomers retire every day. As a result, the fact that the LFRP has not fallen since October 2013 suggests these discouraged workers are returning. Were that not the case, the LFRP would have continued falling. So flat really is the new up!

Looking to the future, the greater the number of these discouraged workers who return to the labor force, the slower the decline in the unemployment rate will be, the higher the LFRP will be but perhaps most importantly, the slower wage growth will be. And that’s the kicker. By contrast, if discouraged workers stop returning to the labor force, the unemployment rate will fall faster and wages will start rising more quickly but it would also mean that millions of previously employed persons have given up on work and that is very bad.

Ideally, discouraged workers will continue returning and wages will remain flat for a while longer but will eventually start rising. Unfortunately, my guess is that relatively few discouraged workers who have not yet returned will. As a result, expect wage growth to start rising sooner, probably by year end.
