Learning through Experience: Drink, Swear, Lie and Steal to bettering our community through a variety of service projects.

2 I BOMA STANDARD FALL 2011
At our 2008 TOBY Award’s luncheon Fred Ball instructed us on the four things we must do to succeed. Remember what they were? He told us we must drink, swear, lie and steal. We must drink in all of the knowledge we possibly can, swear to do the best job we possibly can, lie down and think how blessed we are and how we can bless others, and steal just a little time for prayer every day. Through your commitment to BOMA Utah, I have observed you doing some drinking, swearing, lying and stealing since Mr. Ball’s challenge. I believe he would be proud of how we have expertly applied his principles. As he promised, we have succeeded in moving BOMA Utah forward in many areas. BOMA Utah members have accepted many challenges over the last couple of years. Much was accomplished as we worked our way through them. In the last two years, our membership grew by 140 percent. The BOMA Utah Golf Tournament, with its charity component, is now established as a premier event in business circles. Our Advocacy Committee has promoted BOMA Utah interests among local, state and national officials. While we have much more to do in the Business Continuity Planning Program, we have laid a foundation as the voice for the commercial property sector in the state of Utah. We have demonstrated our commitment
BOMA Utah has gone SOCIAL! Join us on Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter
Each year in our golf tournament I’ve proved I am not a skilled golfer. When I finally connect with the ball it appears that my shots are far short of those with whom I am playing. But, after walking to the ball, my shot is usually not as short as it looked from the tee. Then I am glad I did not quit back at the tee! (If only I could control the ball’s direction, I might be able to compete.) During these past two years, you have pressed on, serving BOMA even when our progress appeared short. I watched as you accepted challenging assignments and received the reward which only comes by serving others. Together, we hit the ball farther than we thought we could. It has been a privilege for me to be a part of it with you. My father has said, “Service is its own reward.” And so it is. Thank you for your selfless service to BOMA Utah and your successful drinking, swearing, lying and stealing for the betterment of our community and our industry. Sincerely, Jim Derrick BOMA Utah President

NEWS
Commercial News You Need to Know BOMA Utah Builds Fenced Park The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee overwhelmingly passed S. 1000, the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2011, by a vote of 18-3. Sponsored by Senators Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Portman (R-Ohio), the bill would ratchet up the energy efficiency of building codes (ASHRAE 90.1) and potentially grant the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) the authority to develop a NATIONAL MODEL ENERGY CODE, if the ASHRAE standard didn't meet the required efficiency targets. Unlike legislation on this issue that surfaced during the last session of Congress, the energy efficiency targets are not set in the bill. DOE would set the targets through a rule-making process. Despite the improved language, BOMA continues to oppose these proposed changes to the building code development process. The legislation also contains energy retrofit loan guarantees, which BOMA supports.
4 I BOMA STANDARD FALL 2011
for Davis Shelter Animals About 40 volunteers from BOMA Utah's Helping Hands helped to build a park for dogs and cats impounded at the Davis County Animal Care & Control Shelter. The 5,000 square-foot project, which was completed Sept. 3, is worth $26,000. Approximately 350 hours of volunteer labor were put into building the park. All of the supplies used to build the park were donated by volunteers. The park will help impounded dogs and cats become more adoptable by providing an area where they can play and interact with a potential owner. The park will mostly be used by dogs, but a separate pen was built within the park for cats. BOMA also donated 400 pounds of dog food to the shelter. Businesses who participated in the event included Lawn Butler, Al's Auto Parts, CB Richard Ellis, digitalworxs, Metro Graphics, RMT, Rubicon Contractors and Stratford Insurance Group.

Member Spotlight Gary L. Coker Managing Director of Investment Properties, Brokerage Services and Asset Services at CB Richard Ellis
For the past three years, I have been the managing director of Asset Services and just recently assumed responsibility for our Brokerage Services and Investment Properties groups. In my role as managing director of Asset Services, I oversee the delivery of our property management services on more than 45 buildings totaling nearly 8.5 million square feet along the Wasatch Front. What are some of the properties that you manage? Some of our managed properties include 257 Tower, Parkside Tower, 136 E. South Temple, SouthTowne Corporate Center, Legacy at Lake Park, Ninigret Office Park, Crossroads Corporate Center, Western Commerce Center, Westlakes Business Center and Parkway Village. Why do you enjoy what you do? First and foremost, I enjoy the opportunity to work with a group of truly dedicated and exceptional asset services employees. We have 34 professionals currently delivering both management and engineering services to our managed portfolio. Each and every one of them is focused on delivering best of class services to their clients and tenants.
What was your first job? Helping my older brother with his hay hauling business when I was 12. He paid me 4 cents/hay bale to drive the hay truck and “kick off ” to him (throw the bales from the truck to him for stacking in the barn). I eventually started my own hay hauling business, which allowed me to earn enough money during the summers that I didn’t need to work during the school year. Tell us about the company you work for now. What is your title and what are your responsibilities? CB Richard Ellis is the world’s largest full-service commercial real estate company. Our philosophy is to “put the client first always.” Our objective is to service clients, not to just close transactions. As such, we have developed a platform which allows us to partner with our clients for all of their real estate needs. This platform allows us to harness the collective expertise of our professionals, across our various service lines and geographic markets, in order to deliver superior results. 12 I BOMA STANDARD FALL 2011
What is your property management philosophy? It boils down to doing the basics very well. We strive to provide great customer service to our clients and tenants. In addition to implementing our client’s strategic plan for each property, we act as consultants to provide additional insight of how to improve the marketability and, ultimately, the value of each asset. How long have you been a member of BOMA? What positions have you held?
I have been a member of BOMA off and on since around 2000. I have only recently become active during the past couple of years as a board member. Why is BOMA important to you? I really appreciate my involvement with BOMA Utah for a couple of primary reasons. One, BOMA is always on the leading edge for new trends in our industry, and they are able to provide insight as to how those trends can benefit our clients. And two, I appreciate the ability to get to know and network with a group of like-minded professionals, both vendors or peers, who are committed to our industry. Tell us about your family. I have been married to Marie for 14 years. We have two beautiful daughters: Paige and Peyton, ages 12 and 10. What are your hobbies/ interests outside of work? I enjoy most anything outdoors. I enjoy hiking, flyfishing, camping, running and golf. My favorite is when I can combine a hike to a remote mountain lake or stream for some solitary fly fishing. Indoors, I love to follow Oklahoma State athletics. Go Pokes! What is your hope/concern for the commercial real estate market in 2011/2012? The economy has been very tough in general and especially tough to the commercial real estate industry. I am hopeful that we will see a real and sustained economic recovery that results in significant employment gains. Our real estate fundamentals will only truly improve once we can start filling our buildings again.
