President’s MessageMessage

Richard Szecsy, Ph.D., P.E.

By Richard Szecsy, Ph.D, P.E.

Next t ime you hear a politician running for offi ce talk about local economies, or local jobs, or even the phrase “buy local,” think about what choices we make as an industry when it comes to our direct, and just as importantly, our indirect purchasing decisions.

As we begin the countdown to the 2012 presidential election, many of the politicians are

talking about the same thing, the economy. How it can do more, what it will take to make it do more, etc. Even the individuals running at a very local level, have been talking about the economy and jobs. I have heard it said that “all politics are local.” Funny thing is that the same can be said about our industry and its economy – it’s all local. While some of our products do have the ability to be transported over large distances (and one in particular), the majority do not really see more than 100 miles of transport from the site they were created, harvested, or mined to the actual location of their use. Our industry is a very locally based economic engine. This is something that we need to be not only proud of, but promote. With some of the recent and ongoing issues with the Edwards Aquifer Authority, it is a powerful message to be able to say that 75 businesses, 1500-plus employees, $500M in annual revenue, and approximately $42M in annual sales tax are generated in that region alone because of our industry. This does not even account for all the indirect businesses that are related to our industry. But, being a local economic engine should not just stop with our primary products of aggregates, concrete, cement, fly ash, admixtures, etc. We can also use our industry to extend to local purchases of indirect products and services. Things as simple as office supplies, promotional and advertising materials, to the sources we use for catered lunches. All this helps the local economy. In the communities that we operate, we have enormous capital investments. The indirect investment that up until now is not as readily

apparent as are the contributions we make to the local economy. Next time you hear a politician running for office talk about local economies, or local jobs, or even the phrase “buy local,” think about what choices we make as an industry when it comes to our direct, and just as importantly, our indirect purchasing decisions. Quite possibly, some of those same future elected leaders could take some notes on how our industry chooses to lead locally.


Texas State CIM Program’s First Degree Candidates

Only two short years ago, 12 students

were the first to enroll in the Concrete

Industry Management Program at

Texas State University. Thanks to the shared

vision of a handful of industry leaders and

the administration and faculty at Texas State

University, these students had the opportunity

to enroll in a new and unique academic program;

one that recognizes the power of partnership

between an industry and the academic

institution that is educating its future leaders.

Now, that vision has been fulfi lled as the program has turned out its fi rst four graduates this past December.

CIM was an ideal fi t at Texas State, a university committed to meeting the educational needs of a thriving state. The university is seeing record expansion in enrollment while at the same time is expanding its educational opportunities across all disciplines, including applied scientifi c and technical programs like CIM.

With Texas State’s strong commitment and enthusiastic support, the CIM program is proving to be a resounding success. Since Fall 2009 and the fi rst daring dozen students, enrollment numbers have steadily increased to 65 declared majors today. The program also boasts an outstanding group of dedicated faculty, a fully equipped concrete testing laboratory, and excellent classroom facilities.

Congratulations to Chase, Chris, Griffi n and Travis for being the fi rst graduates of the Texas State CIM program! You all are an outstanding testament to the strength of the CIM program and Texas State University.

Trauth (standing, right) are pictured with the CIM Program’s fi rst four bachelor’s degree candidates. The students are, left to right, Charles Carter, Griffi n Taylor, Christopher Traina and Travis Mouser. Texas State is one of fi ve universities nationally to offer a degree program in Concrete Industry Management. Mr. Ingram is the founder of Ingram Readymix.


Students Work Hand in Hand with IndustryRecently, several third and fourth year CIM students left

the classroom to participate in a round of summer internships. This program provided opportunities for these students to apply their recently acquired skills within the industry and earn some much-appreciated spending money. These exciting opportunities are a direct result of the CIM internship program at Texas State.

The focus of these internships is not only to allow the students to practice what they learn in the classroom, but to

provide opportunities for the students to learn leadership and build character traits that will help them be successful in the workforce.

The goal of the internship program is to help cultivate a passion for the industry, a desire to work hard, and provide a practical experience base for the young professionals that one day will be running our industry. If you are able to assist in the development of these valued resources by providing internship opportunities, please contact Richard Szecsy.

With interim in full swing,

and the EAA issues

continuing to heat up, we

have an exciting governmental affairs

update this quarter.

First, we wanted to briefl y update you on House Bill 571. Our team worked diligently last session to usher this legislation through the legislative process, and we are excited about the upcoming implementation.

House Bill 571House Bill 571 is implementing

new regulations that will require the registration and inspection of all aggregates operations in the state of Texas. TACA strongly supported House Bill 571 as a means to level the playing fi eld for the industry by requiring all operators to meet Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) environmental standards. The TCEQ is in the process of implementing the law, and a public hearing was held in February.

During the 82nd Session of the Texas Legislature, HB 571 received widespread support from a diverse collection of interest groups, including the Lone

Governmental Affairs UpdateBy Jeff Coyle and Christy Hinchey, KGBTexas.communications

Star Chapter of the Sierra Club, The Nature Conservancy, Texas League of Conservation Voters and the cities of Houston and Austin.

The TCEQ is currently developing the rules to implement HB 571, which requires the responsible party for an aggregate production operation to register the operation with the TCEQ not later than the 10th business day before the beginning date of extraction activities and to renew the registration annually. The bill imposes a penalty of not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000 for each year in which an aggregate production operation operates without being registered, not to exceed $25,000. All aggregate production

operations have to have completed their initial registration with the TCEQ by September 1, 2012.

TCEQ must conduct an annual physical survey of Texas to identify all active aggregate production operations in the state and to ensure that each active aggregate production operation is registered with TCEQ. TCEQ must inspect each active aggregate production operation in Texas at least once every three years for compliance with applicable environmental laws and rules under the jurisdiction of TCEQ, only after providing notice to the responsible party in accordance with commission policy.

The TCEQ is expected to publish the rule in the Texas Register on January 27, 2012 for a 30-day comment period. A public hearing was held in February to explain the proposed rule and take public comment. The rule is scheduled for fi nal adoption on July 18.

Edwards Aquifer Authority Update

Members of TACA’s EAA Task Force have met with and are continuing to meet with members of the EAA Board in order to develop key relationships with this important regulatory authority.

TACA members participated in an Aggregate Production Operations Stakeholders meeting with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality regarding HB571.

The Edwards Aquifer Authority voted to approve the EARIP’s federally mandated Habitat Conservation Plan at the end of December, which includes a dramatic increase in fees for industrial pumpers. These fees will be slightly phased-in, which is something TACA leadership advocated for in meeting with EAA board members. The TACA EAA team will continue to work with the EAA and its board to advocate on behalf of the industry on issues such as fuel tank storage, and other regulations affecting the concrete and aggregates business.

2012 Governmental Affairs PlanTuggey LLP and KGBTexas met with the

Government Affairs committee on January 12 to review the strategic plan for 2012. This plan includes the monitoring of both state and federal issues, along with EAA issues in that region. Additionally, our teams will be working on preparation for the 83rd legislative session, including the monitoring of interim charges for the both the House of Representatives and the Senate (which have not been released at this time).

House Interim ChargesEarlier this year, the Speaker of the

House of Representatives released their interim charges for the year. Interim charges are issues left unresolved or needing additional study at the end of the legislative session. Committees hold hearings and draft reports on these issues throughout the interim, with the goal of having legislation fi led in the next session that addresses the issue.

The following are the charges that your government affairs team will be monitoring for their impact to the concrete and aggregates industry.

House Committee on Land & Resource Management

Examine current regulatory authority available to municipalities in their extraterritorial jurisdiction. Make necessary legislative recommendations to ensure a proper balance between development activities and municipal regulations.

House Committee on Transportation

Review the state of our current transportation infrastructure, including studying roadway, bridge, and waterway quality and long-range plans by the Texas Department of Transportation for maintaining these assets. Explore future needs of our infrastructure for the next decade and make recommendations to ensure long-range suffi ciency.

Study the environmental review process for transportation projects and monitor the implementation of reforms newly passed by the 82nd Legislature. Continue to work with all stakeholders to develop any necessary changes. (Joint with the House Committee on Environmental Regulation)

Study transportation funding reforms and develop long-term state funding recommendations, with an eye on any federal reforms that become law. Explore options to eliminate “diversions” from Fund 6 to non-transportation-related programs. (Joint with the House Committee on Appropriations)

House Committee on Ways & Means

Evaluate the state’s tax structure and determine its impact on the competitiveness of the Texas business climate. Specifi cally, determine the impact of the state’s major

taxes, including the sales tax and franchise tax, as well as tax exemptions, exclusions, and credits on economic growth, capital investment, and job creation in Texas. As part of this review, evaluate the franchise (margins) tax and determine whether the tax structure should continue to exist in its current form or in a revised form, or whether the existing tax structure should be repealed and replaced with a different business tax.

As you can see, it will be a busy, but productive interim, and we look forward to keeping you posted on all legislative activity throughout the year.

Mr. Karl Dreher, General Manager at the Edwards Aquifer Authority, was the keynote speaker at the recent TACA Chat-n-Chew.


A general liability insurance

policy provides an insured

with two important benefits:

indemnification (the payment of covered

claims) and defense of a lawsuit.

When an insurance carrier defends claims on behalf of an insured, the carrier generally has the right to choose defense counsel. This usually means that when the carrier is notifi ed of a claim, it assigns the defense of the lawsuit to a law fi rm retained by the carrier. In most cases, these law fi rms have an established, ongoing relationship with the carrier.

But, notice of a claim may trigger more than assignment of defense counsel. It may also result in the issuance of a “reservation of rights” letter, stating that while the insurance carrier will provide a defense, the carrier is reserving its right to later deny coverage after further investigation or trial. A reservation of rights is the carrier’s way of saying, “We’ll defend you, but we’re not saying that you’re covered.”

Although the law allows an insurance carrier to choose counsel and to issue a reservation of rights letter, a potential confl ict arises when the carrier chooses to do both. Because coverage may turn on the outcome of a trial on liability, it is possible that the outcome at trial will reduce or eliminate insurance coverage. Thus, if the carrier defends its insured under a reservation of rights, the defense counsel retained and paid by the carrier may face choices of how to defend the insured that can impact the question of coverage as well as the outcome of the trial.

As a result of this potential confl ict, when an insurance carrier does not

When to Say “No” to the Insurance Company’s LawyerBy Amy Emerson

Although the law allows an insurance carrier to choose counsel and to issue a reservation of rights letter, a potential confl ict arises when the carrier chooses to do both.

fully accept that the claims alleged are covered by the insurance policy, Texas law generally allows the insured to retain its own counsel and requires the carrier to pay the legal fees.

How can you exercise your right to select and retain counsel of your choice if you have been sued? First, determine if the carrier has sent you a reservation of rights letter. If it has not sent such a letter and the claims set out in the suit are covered, there is no potential for confl ict and the carrier maintains its right to choose an attorney to defend you. On the other hand, if there is a reservation of rights, then ask your attorney to write the insurance carrier and demand that the carrier retain counsel of your choice and pay that attorney’s reasonable fees and expenses.

Where a potential confl ict exists, obtaining independent counsel can be very important. You not only have the right to be represented by someone you may have

an ongoing relationship with, but you also may improve your chances of receiving insurance coverage. Moreover, by insisting on your own choice of attorney, you avoid being defended by an attorney who may be in a diffi cult position - representing you but also wanting more work from the carrier in the future. Although most lawyers are ethical and focus on the needs of the true client (the insured), the law recognizes that there could be divided loyalties and resolves the potential confl ict in the policyholder’s favor.

Stacey Meyer’s introduction to the cement industry

was a baptism by fire.

Meyer earned her degree in chemical engineering from the University of Oklahoma and took a job working in the lab at Holcim (then Holman). She’d been there only a short time, however, when a supervisor asked her to fi ll in for a production supervisor in the fi eld.

“Not knowing any different, I said sure, I’d be happy to jump in and do whatever you need,” she recalls. “So at the ripe age of 25, with no industry or cement experience aside from my six months in the lab, I was working with people who had 35 year of experience. They had been doing it forever, and now I was supervising them.

“But honestly, it was probably the single most rewarding and at the same time most diffi cult position that I was ever in. It ended up being just a fantastic experience. We fi gured it out and did what we needed to do on shift to keep the plant running. Those guys taught me in a short period of time the ins and outs of the business, from the quarry all the way through manufacturing, about how the product was made,” she said.

Meyer, now general manager for Holcim’s Texas/Oklahoma Sales Group, has put that information to good use in her various positions at the company. They have included market manager, manager of business support and regional business manger for Geocycle, a fully owned subsidiary of Holcim that deals with alternative fuels and raw materials. She appreciates the diversity of the opportunities that she’s been offered at Holcim.

“It’s kept me extremely satisfi ed and interested in what I’m doing. Looking back on what I’ve done with the company, I would have never guessed 16 years ago that this would have been the path that I would be on. But as people get further into the business and are exposed to different facets of it, Holcim is great about providing job opportunities and letting employees have that fl exibility so they can grow into different areas,” she said.

Stacey Meyer Looks Forward to Sustainable Industry GrowthBy Mary Lou Jay

Stacey Meyer attends the Gala Dinner at the TACA Annual Meeting.

“We’re coming to the realization that the industry is where it is, and the recovery is going to be a slow one. As we look ahead and begin to actually realize some of the recovery that’s happening, we have to recognize that this is our new reality.”

A New RealityMeyer took over her current position

in 2009, after a reorganization at Holcim because of severe effects of the economic downturn. It’s been a challenging time to head a sales region.

“Sales along with everything else in the industry have been impacted signifi cantly,” Meyer said. “Although it’s been a rough two-and-a-half years, in a way it’s almost rewarding to come in at a time that’s diffi cult and to be able to take the reins and make the appropriate decisions in the face of a new business environment.

“We’re coming to the realization that the industry is where it is, and the recovery is going to be a slow one. As we look ahead and begin to actually realize some of the recovery that’s happening, we have to recognize that this is our new reality. I don’t see the industry spiking back up over the next couple of years to where we were in sales in the years of ’07 and ’08.

“We were hit hard, we made the appropriate adjustments, downsized and now we need to understand the new constraints that we’re going to be in and, understanding that, build our business accordingly,” she added.

But the basics of sales should be the same during both good and bad economic times, Meyer said.

“I think the pulse of any good sales is going to be close contact with the customers, understanding intimately what their struggles are and what they are looking for in a supplier.”

A Sustainable FutureMeyer has been active in TACA for

three years, serving fi rst on the board of directors and now as one of three members-at-large on the executive committee as well. She appreciates the job that the association has done for the promotion of the cement, concrete and aggregates industry in Texas, especially in the legislative and regulatory arenas.

“You can’t go a day without hearing something about environment regulations,

Her varied work experiences have also helped her do a better job in each new position. Her time as a production supervisor, for example, made her a better salesperson.

“Really understanding our products, how they are made and the different characteristics that they can have really enabled me to do that job better. I found it very benefi cial to have that manufacturing mindset and sell a product that I knew intimately,” Meyer said.

Her time at Geocycle was especially satisfying. “That was my fi rst managerial experience, and I was supervising upwards of 16 people through customer service, sales and operations. We were really able to build the business in Texas and Oklahoma for our two manufacturing locations there, to signifi cantly increase that side of the business and contribute to the company’s bottom line. That was a very rewarding experience.”

either federally or locally, on the air side or on the water side,” she said.

But her biggest concern for the industry is how it will handle the recovery.

“Once the general economy starts and turn around, and housing comes back, and more commercial projects come back, that’s going to be the largest opportunity for all of us, to get our business moving in the right direction,” she said. But she plans on keeping a prudent perspective. “The mindset needs to be that you continue to manage your costs and your business in downtimes as you do when the recovery happens. Don’t lose sight of the tight fi scal policies that you’ve had to live within and adjust to over the last two or three years, as things do start to recover and move forward.

“The recession we have now was, I believe, the fastest decline in cement and concrete consumption that we’ve ever seen in the U.S. We’ve had our ups and downs before, through the 1980s and the 1990s, but nothing seemed as severe as this, the way it hit us so hard and so fast.

“Looking back, the boom years that we experienced in ‘06 and ’07 were really based on a false economy. The number of houses that we were building, the infrastructure associated with that – in retrospect, that was partly a false high,” she continued.

“So I hope that we come out of this recession progressively better each year as the general economy recovers, that it’s sustainable and that we don’t hit another boom only to hit another bust.”

Meyer looks forward to the day when the industry is able to grow again.

“We had to make severe adjustments at Holcim, as we ended up closing plants and laying off folks in certain areas. I don’t want to set my hopes unrealistically high, but I look forward to getting the economy moving in the right direction and us getting back into a position where we can start adding folks back as we see the sustainable growth improving.”
