04A much-debated ordinance mandating theuse of apprentices on city projects inAlbuquerque was withdrawn Monday.“The Apprenticeship EmpowermentOrdinance”, which was largely disputedbetween union and non-unionorganizations, was withdrawn by one of itsoriginal sponsors, Dan Champine.Champine and other councilors in a 5 to 4vote decided to withdraw the legislationafter receiving input from various union andnon-union professionals in the constructionindustry. “When I initially supported this bill, I did sowith a conviction that it would serve thecommunity’s best interests. However, afterdiscussions involving feedback from variousstakeholders, including constituents,experts, advocacy groups; I began to realizethat the implications of this wereincomplete,” said Champine in Monday’scity council meeting. Whereas union representatives werearguing that the mandate would increasethe number of apprentices, non-unionrepresentatives argued that the number ofapprentices is not there in the first place tocomply. “We need to emphasize more on the buildupof these numbers and support the programsto increase these numbers instead ofmandating numbers that we don’t - as manyof these people said, we don’t have,” saidChampine.

05Councilor Tammy Fiebelkorn, Champine’sco-sponsor of the bill, objected toChampine’s withdrawal from the ordinancerequiring 10% of labor hours to be workedon city projects over two million dollars. “I just feel that the point of this has been lostand that young people in our communityhave a right to a career path that gets themout of poverty,” continued Fiebelkorn, “it’s ashame that the city of Albuquerque cannotmove forward with something that is a leadby example method of moving people intocareer paths, given the vast amount ofpoverty that we’ve talked about heretonight and that we talk about every singletime we have a council meeting.” BUILTENVIRONMENTCity Councilor for District 7, Tammy Fiebelkorn, whooriginally sponsored “The Apprenticeship EmpowermentOrdinance” with Councilor Dan Champine. Copyright: Courtesy of The City of AlbuquerqueSuch sentiments were initially aired by RonAyers, a journeyman member of theInternational Brotherhood of ElectricalWorkers. “I heard a lot about transitioning homelessness into these services.Apprenticeships are good opportunities forpeople who just got back on their feet to getinto the work force. Not just a job but acareer to keep them off the streets,” saidAyers. Jim Garcia, executive director for theAssociated Contractors of New Mexico,who represents transportation and roadcontractors, gave input directly followingcomments made by Ayers.“We think the time is not right, right now.With the disparity between the availableapprentices in the state which isapproximately 25 hundred and the mandateto have 15-25% per project will lead tonumerous waivers and insurmountablepaperwork on every project,” said Garcia. Garcia said that the New MexicoDepartment of Transportation is facing“double digit vacancies” from skilled tradespositions to administrative positions.

06the New Mexico chapters of Associated General Contractors and Associated Builders andContractors, followed with input that aligned with the following statement by Garcia:“Offering incentives instead of mandates will help companies to continue to promote thetrades.”According to the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solution’s non-seasonally adjusteddata published in September of 2024, construction was up 1,100 jobs in the state.In the same report, Kairos Power was cited as an employer who would add 100 workers withthe building of a new manufacturing and development facility in Albuquerque. Earlier in the same city council meeting Monday, Kairos Power was approved $3.5 million inLocal Economic Development Act funding for the $125 million project that would be locatedat Mesa Del Sol. Councilor Fiebelkorn was the only one to vote against the funding for the new facility whichpassed in an eight to one vote. BUILTENVIRONMENTCopyright: The Built Environment

LONG-PLANNED,MUCH-DISCUSSEDNATURE CENTER INCOLORADO SPRINGS ISSLOWLY ADVANCINGBy Garry Boulard, The Built Environment 11/04/2024Copyright: Canva proPlans for what is officially called the Fox RunNature Center now envision a just over9,500 square foot facility, with a 73-foot talltower and 340-foot long canopy walk. County officials have long wanted to see theconstruction of what would be a thirdnature center, building upon the success oftwo existing nature centers in the BearCreek and Fountain Creek regional parks. The Colorado Springs-based TDGArchitecture is the center's projectdesigner.In response to an online petition thatgenerated nearly 1,200 signatures, thesquare footage of the center has beenreduced, as has the number of parking lotspaces, from 40 to 41.During a recent open house exploring thelatest configuration of the center, ToddMarts, El Paso County Parks director, saidthat the exact location for the facility hasslightly shifted in order to “preserve someolder trees that we really want to maintain,but also to have that buffer for firemitigation.”Added Marts: “You can’t have trees rightnext to a building.”Fundraising for the project is expected tointensify next year, with actual constructionbeginning in 2026.

Members on September 25voted in favor of a stopgap spending bill toavoid a shutdown scheduled for October 1.GOVERNMENTSHUTDOWN DEADLINEONCE AGAIN POISED TOTORMENT LAWMAKERSIN A POST-ELECTIONWASHINGTONBy Garry Boulard, The Built Environment 11/06/2024Copyright: Canva proIn so doing, both the House and Senate werevoting in favor of a measure to keep fundinglevels consistent across most programsleading up to December 20. As part of thatvote, funding was increased by $231 millionfor the U.S. Secret Service.Both Democrat and Republican lawmakershave said that they are committed toaverting a possible new shutdown, whichcould lead to an immediate reduction ofservices at such agencies as theTransportation Security Administration, theEnvironmental Protection Agency, theNational Park Service, and the NationalInstitutes of Health.Depending upon the final election results inthe House, Republican Speaker MikeJohnson may be hard-pressed to keep hiscontentious caucus together for any kind ofspending vote. In September, 86 membersof the 220-member Republican caucusvoted in opposition to the stopgap measure.For his part, Johnson, during tensenegotiations over the measure, toldreporters that it would be “politicalmalpractice to shut the government down. Ithink everyone understands that.”Johnson has additionally vowed that therewill be no one big omnibus spendingpackage in December combining all of thevarious spending bills that will be underconsideration in the weeks to come.

A determination to address the spendingissues in the immediate weeks to come isseen in remarks made by North DakotaRepublican Senate Kevin Cramer, who lastweek remarked: “For the sake of the nextCongress and the sake of the next President,let’s finish our work this year and give thema fresh start in January.”Cramer noted that some members havesaid, “We ought to kick the can down theroad another 3 to 4 months and let the newadministration deal with it.

An alternative scenario with a Republicanpresident and Democrat Congress, contendsRiedl, has been “much worse for deficit hawks”for the simple reason that the Republicanoccupants of the White House have oftensurprisingly been “operationally moreinterested in providing new benefits to voters,”with Congressional Democrats “generally eagerto make a deal if they can share in the benefits.”Riedl points to what some fiscal conservativesmay regard as the almost heyday of spendingrestraint: the six years between 1994 and 2000when Democrat President Bill Clinton was ableto see a surprising amount of his programs winapproval from a Republican Congressspearheaded for most of that time byRepublican House Speaker Newt Gingrich.Clinton and the Republican Congress managedto negotiate the 1997 budget deal that spiritedunprecedented budget surpluses the followingyear, a legislative triumph that led to thesuccessful passage of smaller bills proposed byClinton and approved by the CongressionalRepublicans.The dynamic of this particular dividedgovernment was also spirited by thepersonalities of Clinton and Gingrich, notedthen White House chief of staff Leon Panetta.“They were constantly coming up with newideas about how to solve problems.”Wall Street liked the comity it saw inWashington, with the Dow Jones IndustrialAverage reaching 11,000 by the end of thedecade.Just as significant, the American publicresponded: according to statistics compiled bythe survey National Election Studies, some 44%of respondents by the late 1990s said theytrusted the federal government either “most ofthe time” or “just about always,” compared to22% today.40BUILTENVIRONMENTCopyright: Canva pro

93The results of the presidential election mayhave less of an impact on Wall Street than ispopularly imagined, according to a newstudy.Published by the Minneapolis-basedfinancial analysis firm Ameriprise Financial,the study contends that in all likelihood themarket “can perform well through year-endwhether Vice President Harris or formerPresident Trump” prove triumphant onTuesday.WILL THE PRESIDENTIALELECTION IMPACT WALLSTREET? THE HISTORICPATTERNS ARE MIXED,SAY EXPERTSBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 11/05/2024Copyright: Canva proContending that “fundamental conditions inthe U.S. are solid,” the study asserts thatseasonal factors and historic trends favor astrong market, while just reaching the endof the balloting allows “investors to finallymove on from the election.”In so doing, those same investors could see“major equity averages press higher into theend of the year.”The stock market would additionally be ableto absorb the results of one party winningthe White House and both houses ofCongress, as well as handle a divided result.But what it won’t like, says the study, is aprotracted vote count similar to what thecountry endured during the famous GeorgeBush and Al Gore recount controversy in2000.BUILTENVIRONMENTNATIONALLEGISLATION

94That legendary 2000 recount saw the Standard & Poor’s average fall by 8% in the weeksfollowing election day “as the final decision on who would sit in the White House remaineduncertain.”“A contested presidential election result that drags on for weeks would likely be a marketnegative temporarily,” says the study, with investors trying to “look through the dislocation”and putting “excess cash to work in stocks and bonds.”According to data compiled by the network CNBC reaching back to 1980, the S&P has onaverage seen a less than 1% drop on the day after a presidential election, but has almostalways witnessed a recovery one week later.One time when that pattern did not play out: 2008, as Barack Obama won an election duringthe worst weeks of the Great Recession. The S&P was off 5.2% on the day after that election,and nearly 11% one week later.One of the largest gains was recorded after Ronald Reagan’s 1980 victory, with the S&P upby 2.1% the day after and 1.7% one week later. Similarly, Joe Biden’s 2020 win saw a 2.2%next-day gain that grew to 5.2% a week later.Overall, notes the publication Forbes, the markets have tended to perform better in the daysand weeks before an election than after. But who ultimately wins a presidential electionusually has a minimal impact on Wall Street, with returns tending to be positive over time,“regardless of who holds the office.”BUILTENVIRONMENTCopyright: Canva pro
