SACRAMENTO FEE DEFERRAL ORDINANCE A MAJOR FINANCIAL WIN FOR HOMEBUILDERS, DEVELOPERS
Builders and developers line up to take advantage of the new ordinance, but a new BIA member was first in line
By North State BIA Staff
Recently, the Sacramento City Council unanimously approved a new fee deferral program that North State BIA advocates initiated - the fee deferral is one part of the city's new Citywide Development Impact Fee (CDIF) program. The ability to defer fees until final inspection will allow builders to pull more permits at a time, reducing costs and increasing the rate of construction. This is, without question, a significant development for our members that will have a long-lasting, positive impact on their ability to continue to help Sacramento grow.
Coincidentally, one of the newest members of our association also became the first one to test out the new fee deferral ordinance.
Meet Nikky Mohanna of the Mohanna Development Company.
We recently had the opportunity to speak at length with Nikky about her background, why she joined the BIA and what the fee deferral means to her business.

BIA ENDOWMENT AT LOS RIOS FOUNDATION PAVES THE WAY FOR NEXT GENERATION OF INDUSTRY LEADERS
BIA Scholarship Endowment helping students achieve their dreams
In 2001, the North State BIA established the BIA Scholarship Endowment, housed at the Los Rios Foundation, with the goal of supporting students preparing to work in the construction industry. Since then, our association has granted scholarships annually to qualifying students in the Los Rios Community College District. With the inclusion of this year's recipients, we are proud to say that we have provided a total of $79,000 to 79 talented and deserving students. Please take a moment to find out more about these amazing students, because you just might want to hire one of them!
See how our members are preparing tomorrow's workforce
The North State Building Industry Foundation has attended a ton of events over the last few months, including job fairs, career fairs, community events, and this: an afterschool workshop put on by Villara at Antelope High School to teach students all about how to plumb a full bathroom. The students learned about leveling pipe, cutting and gluing pipe, how to read a layout, and more. It was an awesome experience to witness - these kids are sharp!
