<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I was in a meeting and could not attend today's meeting, but I want to comment on and disagree with one of the proposed changes in the glitch bill. Starting on line 97, the glitch bill shows the following change:</SPAN></div>
<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </SPAN></div>
<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN><SPAN class=text>Expiration date of notice of commencement (the expiration date <S><SPAN style="COLOR: red">may not be before completion of construction and final payment to the contractor, but</SPAN></S> will be 1 year from the date of recording unless a different date is specified).</SPAN></div>
<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </SPAN></div>
<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The proposed change fails to recognize and preserve the purpose for the 2011 amendment. This language, although inartfully drafted as legislation often is, requires the owner to keep a notice of commencment open until the project is completed. Although implied in chapter 713, that requirement does not appear anywhere else that I can find. In the past year, various clients on at least a half dozen different projects had NOCs expire while work was still being performed. The owners simply recorded a new NOC, causing prejudice to the lien rights of the GC, subs, and suppliers. There should be something in the lien law confirming the owner's obligation to keep the NOC open. Instead of simply striking the confusing language, I propose the following "fix" instead:</SPAN></div>
<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </SPAN></div>
<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN><SPAN class=text>Expiration date of notice of commencement (the expiration date <S><SPAN style="COLOR: red">may not be before completion of construction and final payment to the contractor, but</SPAN></S> will be 1 year from the date of recording unless a different date is specified). <U><SPAN style="COLOR: red">The owner shall be responsible for renewing the notice of commencement as required to ensure it does not expire before completion of construction and final payment to the contractor. </SPAN></U></SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </SPAN></div>

<div class=MsoNormal>Folks,</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>In connection with today’s call, please find attached the legislative committee’s proposal for which we are seeking approval to forward to the Executive Council for further action and, hopefully, submission during the 2012 legislative session. Attached are:</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>

<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>The long and short is that we are seeking to clarify certain provisions of the lien law to eliminate contradictory references, clarify the statute of limitations on actions on payment bonds, tweak the statutory claim of lien form; tweak the statutory notice of commencement form and clean up the section dealing with electronic proof of delivery. I will be on the call to answer any questions.</div>
