Chair: Pam Parenti, Lennar (775/825-7733)

Laws passed by state and local governments aren’t the only things
that affect a construction timeline—we also deal with regulations
issued by local utility companies in such diverse areas as street
cuts, vaults, and trenching. The Utilities and Offsites Committee
meets to review these proposals as they are issued and provides valuable
feedback to the utility companies who are designing the regulation,
mitigating adverse effects before implementation when possible.

A single person does not have the ability to keep abreast of the many
changes at a local or state level. Northern Nevada alone deals with
three local municipalities comprised of several bureaucratic levels,
all of which affect the way we build. The Codes Committee is charged
with reviewing regulations and ordinances prior to their adoption,
providing agencies with valuable insight as to how our ability to
provide affordable housing will be affected.
