Growing up I remember working on projects around the home. We would do everything from small motor repairs, to major remodeling projects in our home, apartments for other family members and within our neighborhood. These various projects required many different types of tools, some of the tools we owned, others we would borrow. My father taught me a great lesson. When you borrow something, you must always return it in a better condition than when you received it. I continue to live up to this counsel, whether it is borrowing a tool or beginning a new chapter in my life. I consider BOMA one of these great places to borrow some tools. These tools have left me in a better condition to meet the challenges I face as a property manager. The quality tools I have
As president of BOMA Utah, I hope each of us will find value in our membership and recognize the great opportunities that await us. I hope during the next two years that you can feel that I have added a tool for you to use and that we can leave BOMA in a better condition than when we found it. Sincerely, Todd Mabey

The ShakeOut has been created to help people and organizations get better prepared for major earthquakes and practice how to be protected when they happen. For more information about why you should participate in the ShakeOut, links to how different groups can participate and what is happening in your county, please visit www.shakeout.org/utah. BOMA Utah is the only real estate association partner in this exercise. Let’s help make this an exercise we won’t forget; register your company today.
Emergency Preparedness Moment The first step of preparedness is to make a plan. It is a simple way to prepare for any emergency. Four Keys 1. Keep it simple. Make a plan that is easy for all to remember. For example, meet across the street if there is a fire or meet at home if everyone is away. 2. Keep it real. Don’t invent scenarios that are not likely to happen. For example, it is not likely a hurricane will hit Utah. 3. Keep in touch. All plans must include a way to contact everyone. Remember an out-of-state contact is best. If you are using a cell phone, text don’t call. 4. Keep practicing. Having a plan is great, but knowing how to follow the plan works better.

Medical Office Building Symposium: Trends and Uncertainties in Modern Healthcare By Kristen Hutchings, Associate Editor While the healthcare industry is a fluid and unstable, facilities professionals in the medical industry are trying to move forward with new industry standards that improve patient comfort and treatment – putting aside all of the government-related changes impacting healthcare. A panel of healthcare and real estate representatives discussed many of the trends healthcare is beginning to adopt and the direction they are geared toward for the future at the BOMA Medical Office Building Symposium. Many healthcare facilities are trending from inpatient to outpatient centers, according to the panel. Technology has advanced in such a way during the last few years that many procedures that were confined to hospitals are now available in medical office buildings and clinics. “Ten years ago, my grandma got a hip replacement and was in the hospital for five days,” said Lori Damon, vice president of Education and Research for BOMA International. “Two years ago, my husband got a hip replacement and was in the hospital for two and half days. You can expect a steady migration of any procedure that can be performed outside of a hospital setting to move outside of a hospital setting. And the reason for that is simple: cost. Construction costs are significantly higher for acute care then medical office buildings or ambulatory surgery centers.” Construction costs can be up to a 25 to 50 percent less for an outpatient facility. The Draper Utah Lone Peak Medical Office Building is an example of an outpatient center recently built in Utah. A satellite emergency room is located on its first floor. Traditional emergency room procedures can be replicated in the Lone Peak Emergency Room. Healthcare facilities that are universally designed is one way owners are dealing with limited funds. “Rather than designing floors specifically for cardiac care, you design a willow play floor where you can push the bed in and change the specialty. Today it’s cardiology, tomorrow it’s OBGYN, next week nefrology,” Damon said. “It extends the life of those expensive to-build spaces and also allows for quickly shifting functions. As patient needs change, as the epidemiology patterns change, you can adapt that very readily. A lot of promise is assigned to this. We’ll see how quickly it takes on.” Many medical spaces are built into a community to satisfy the needs and demands of the people, Damon said. No one knows for certain when a medical building will be needed. Determining the size of a 6 I BOMA STANDARD WINTER 2011/2012
medical facility is also difficult. To save on building costs, many medical centers implement buildings with universal designs. They brainstorm ways to transform existing buildings into medical offices or clinics. “Bottom line, no one knows how much new space we’re going to need. But because of capital constraints on healthcare systems, building new spaces is too expensive. We can’t do it,” said Damon. “We have got to work with the space we have, so you see a lot of creative redeployment of assets.” In Tuscon, Arizona, a warehouse is being re-purposed to suit the needs of a medical building, which is not the most usual place medical buildings have sprung from, Damon said. The most interesting transformation may be a medical building emerging from an old Blockbuster movierental facility. Not only does healthcare take over vacant retail buildings, but they have also decided to become more closely associated with different retail sects. “Retail is always on the corner of main and main, and that’s increasingly where healthcare would like to be,” Damon said. Starbucks and other retail shops are beginning to appear in hospitals across the country. On the flip side, more and more medical office buildings are moving into retail spaces. Retail development is always pushing its way to the center of the community, Damon said. Healthcare wants to do the same. By being closer to the public they serve, medical offices hope to see more patients more frequently. Healthcare is a competitive field, and by providing people with what they need, patients will be return customers. Damon said the time may not be too far off where a medical office building will offer healthcare, restaurants and gyms.

Donation Snowballs at Animal Care and Control
Dear BOMA and Helping Hands Charity, On behalf of all of the employees at Davis County Animal Care and Control and the animals, we want to shout out a big thank you for our play yard that BOMA and Helping Hands Charity built. The play yard has had a snowballing effect at our shelter. We had some great press from the play yard; that has helped us get the message out that we are changing our image. That message has sparked an increase in our volunteer program. The increase in our volunteer program has gotten more dogs out to play in the yard. That has made the dogs more adoptable. The volunteers have made it so our staff can focus on other items in the shelter, like cats and rabbits. The extra focus has made it so we are euthanizing less and that is our ultimate goal. Our employees are happier about that. The play yard allows the dog to be a dog. They get to go to the bathroom anywhere they want. They get to smell and stick their noses anywhere they want too. We get to see how they handle situations
with other dogs and watch them communicate. The play yard has been an educational tool for us as well. New officers can take several dogs out at once and watch the dogs communicate. The officer gets to learn firsthand the body language of a dog. This is an experience that new officers would never get in a classroom or a book. Davis County Animal Care and Control cannot express enough our thankfulness for our play yard. Thank you to all of the individuals and businesses
The Outstanding Building of the Year Awards The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) Awards are the most prestigious and comprehensive programs of their kind in the commercial real estate industry, recognizing quality in buildings and rewarding excellence in building management. During the competitions, all facets of a building’s operations are thoroughly evaluated. Buildings are judged on everything from community involvement and site management to environmental and green policies and procedures. Levels of Competition The competition consists of three levels. It begins at the BOMA Utah level, winning entries advance to the regional level and, finally, regional winners advance to the international level. The International TOBY Awards will be presented at the BOMA International Conference in Washington, DC, June 26-28, 2011.

The Utah Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) hosted a golf tournament at Willow Creek Country Club to support the preparedness and disaster response capacity of the American Red Cross Utah Region, raising $8,470 for the cause. “We deeply appreciate BOMA and its generosity in contributing toward the well-being of Utahns during times of disaster,” said Maxine Margaritis, CEO, American Red Cross Utah Region. “We were fortunate to have the American Red Cross participate with us in our annual golf tournament this summer, and we are delighted with the resulting contributions we were able to make. Partnering The American Red Cross of Utah during this event helped reinforce commitments to our objective,” said Jim Derrick, special projects and Jordan Commons property manager, Larry H. Miller Management Co. “Along with the Red Cross, we are dedicated to minimizing suffering in our community. We appreciate all that the American Red Cross does in this regard. It is our hope that this summer’s partnership with BOMA Utah will further the success of the Red Cross in Utah.” Donations to the Red Cross Disaster Relief fund are used efficiently and carefully to provide vital items, meals and more to disaster clients. Even small donations can make a big difference, and large donations, such as BOMA’s, can help those in need in so many ways. For example, their generous donation could be used to provide approximately 847 meals to disaster clients. When you donate to the Red Cross, know that your dollar works hard for disaster clients: $3 Provides one comfort kit containing hygiene items for a disaster client. These kits, stored and ready for distribution in multiple locations nationwide, contain the basic personal supplies needed by clients during a disaster. The kit contains deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, facial tissues, wash cloth, shampoo, liquid soap, lotion, comb, razor and shaving cream. $30 Covers the cost of a clean-up kit and comfort supplies for a family of four. These supplies are stored and ready for distribution in multiple locations nationwide. Each clean-up kit includes a sectional handle with mop, broom, squeegee and push broom heads, pail, scrub brush, sponge, disinfectant, detergent/degreaser, bleach, trash bags, gloves and dust mask. Each comfort kit contains deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, facial tissues, wash cloth, shampoo, liquid soap, lotion, comb, razor and shaving cream. $50 Provides food and shelter to a client for one day.

Standard of Excellence By Jim Derrick State Route 95 was created in 1935. Over the years, it was lengthened to connect southeastern Utah, the Blanding area, with Hanksville, Utah. Until 1966, the road was unimproved, and people crossed the Colorado River at Hite, Utah, via a ferry. In 1976, the roadway was improved and paved as part of the Bicentennial Highway. It took so long to develop this area because the deep gorges which were cut by the Dirty Devil and Colorado rivers. Two beautiful arched steel bridges now span these canyons, but building them was a remarkable feat requiring more than just effort. The bridge across the Colorado River is 740 feet long. High lines with 3-inch cables spanned the chasm to carry and place the 600 tons of steel, some pieces weighing 30 tons. Special off-road trucks were employed to bring the steel and supplies across a roadless desert. There was no allowance for mistakes in the steel fabrication or in the erection process. Adding to the challenge, nothing like this had ever been done before. Because of the site’s remoteness, everything, including the engineering, purchasing, steel preparation, steel fabrication, storing, transporting, unloading and erecting, had to be exact for this to be successful. I learned some lifetime lessons from these projects. There is much to be said about establishing personal standards of excellence, whether it is in our businesses or our personal lives. Too many people give little thought to this subject and, hence, sell themselves short. I mention this because there are many with whom we associate
here that set personal standards for excellence, and each year BOMA Utah selects a principle and an associate member to be honored for this. They are honored as Members of the Year. In 2008, Renee Schmid and Casey Killian were selected. In 2009, Terrell Sparks and Jerry Pace were honored. Last year, it was David Penrod and Ali Williams. For the year of 2011, there are many who could have been honored for a variety of reasons. However, two were selected specifically because of the standard of excellence which they have set for the rest of us to follow. Assignments were given to them, responsibilities were delegated and they were allowed to use their talents to their best abilities. The results were remarkable.
I think of the exactness which was needed to accomplish the construction of the two bridges in southern Utah. Much good was accomplished by individuals taking time to personally establish a standard of excellence from which they would measure their performance. By doing this, what seemed impossible was achieved. Thanks to members like Jon and Eric who have set a standard of excellence and pushed their performance bar higher. BOMA Utah’s influence throughout the state and our communities is enhanced by their work. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to high standards.

Associate Member of the Year:
Jon Carlson
Eric Fairbanks
of Lincoln Harris who was honored for his continuous efforts for the association as a supporter, a leader and an advocate.
of Utah Disaster Kleenup was honored for making a difference, especially through his work with the Preparedness Committee.
Jon Carlson of Lincoln Harris CSG is chair of BOMA Utah’s 15-member Medical Office Building Committee, which is our newest, and perhaps our largest, committee. Management of medical office buildings is much more complicated than managing the usual office building. Jon is very knowledgeable about this niche in the industry. Jon was given the flexibility to organize the Medical Office Building Committee and develop it into a substantial part of the BOMA Utah organization. His work culminated this year with the Medical Office Building Symposium. It was a well-attended event with BOMA International’s vice president of education and research, Lorie Damon, offering the introduction and moderating the discussion. A featured speaker was Senator Wayne Niederhauser. We express our gratitude to Jon for all that he has accomplished.
Eric Fairbanks of Utah Disaster Kleenup is chair of BOMA Utah’s Preparedness and Business Continuity Committee. Eric organized and established a jointly sponsored BOMA Utah and State of Utah Business Preparedness and Continuity recognition program. It identifies and honors those businesses in the state of Utah which have achieved certain levels of event preparedness. The program is in its infancy and is ready to blossom. His creativity and enthusiasm carried the project from a thought to reality.

Why is BOMA important to you? I believe that BOMA is the gold standard for commercial real estate professionals. As such, I am privileged to be associated with such a great organization. The network of professionals are always willing to support each other in the best interests of making our industry stronger. Tell us about your family. My wife Sarah and I have been married for seven years. We have a West Highland White Terrier and a Cairn Terrier that keep our household active.. What are your hobbies/ interests outside of work?
Justin Farnsworth Real Estate Manager, CBRE What was your first job? I worked for my dad’s development company on construction projects and in the office. What are your responsibilities as real estate manager at CB Richard Ellis? Essentially, I am responsible for every aspect of the day to day operation of the building from financial reporting, construction projects, repair and maintenance, and tenant and client relations. Please see attached bio for additional details. Why do you enjoy what you do? Each day is different with a new set of challenges. One moment, we could be finalizing a multi-million dollar building sale, the next moment, it could be a janitorial issue.. What is your property management philosophy? Client service should always come first. In order to satisfy that objective, teamwork is critical. It is always important to work together and be willing to do what it takes to get the job done. How long have you been a member of BOMA? I have been a member since 2008. How have you been involved in BOMA? I am a newly elected Board Member and Chair of the Advocacy Committee. Two of my properties received the prestigious TOBY Award: Edgewater Corporate Center in 2010 and 136 E. South Temple in 2009. 12 I BOMA STANDARD WINTER 2011/2012
My wife and I love to travel. In addition, we participate in the MS 150 cycling event each year to support multiple sclerosis. I also like to camp and hike and do pretty much anything outdoors. I am also a gadget guru. It doesn’t really matter if it is a vacuum cleaner or an iPad, I am always interested. What is your hope/concern for the commercial real estate market in 2011/2012? I am hopeful that through my involvement on the Education and Advocacy committees, as well as the board of directors, that we can continue to increase BOMA’s involvement in the commercial real estate community. It is our hope to continue to work with the Division of Real Estate and the state legislature to help bolster the commercial real estate emphasis with real estate licensees. (It is currently weighted toward the residential side). In addition, we hope to continue to build relationships with our legislators to enable BOMA to become more involved in key legislation that affects our industry.
