platinum mile in transition BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

here corporate giants once reigned, vacancies now line the Platinum Mile, fueling plans by the town of Harrison to overhaul zoning requirements that would allow for mixed office, retail and residential developments along Westchester Avenue as early as 2013. Harrison officials and consultants working with the town are in the process of revising the town’s comprehensive plan to include chapters specifying development rules for the downtown and Platinum Mile districts. Preliminary revisions call for limited retail, restaurant and residential development to be allowed in targeted areas, beginning with the properties located in the teardrop Platinum, page 6

Businesses, Albany battle over state wage hike BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

upport for increasing New York’s minimum wage has grown among business advocacy groups and business owners and executives statewide in the closing weeks of a legislative session in Albany where a wage-hike bill, lacking strong public support from the governor, could die in the Senate. Historically unpopular in the business

community, the latest proposed wage hike still is strongly opposed by several business and trade lobbying groups in Albany, among them the Business Council of New York State, the state office of the National Federation of Independent Business, Unshackle Upstate and New York Farm Bureau. In Westchester County, the wage hike has not been a high-priority issue for the two largest business groups here, The

Business Council of Westchester and Westchester County Association. Neither has taken a position on the bill passed by the Democrat-controlled Assembly in May, which would raise the state’s minimum hourly wage from $7.25 to $8.50 on Jan. 1, 2013. The minimum wage in future years would be pegged to the annual inflation rate. To become law, the bill also requires passage by the Republican-controlled

State regulations ensnare health care reform

leading advocate for New York hospitals says the state’s long practice of adding its own regulatory standards for health care to federal standards has been costly to health care providers and has not improved the quality of care for New Yorkers when compared with the rest of the nation. The state’s health care rules, says the Healthcare Association of New York State, “have simply not kept up with the times.” In this time of health care reform at the state and federal level, those regulations form “a barrier to progress” and do not allow the flexibility and innovation that are needed. That criticism is included in a recent HANYS report, “Still Tangled Up in Rules,” that recommends changes to specific state regulations that hinder health care innovation and change. The report was released in tandem with HANYS’ annual workforce survey report on nursing and allied health care professionals. Those health care professions are expected to be in greater demand as the nation’s realigned health care delivery system takes shape. HANYS officials said the state Health Department’s certificate of need (CON) program for expansion and construction projects by hospitals and other health care facilities is the chief obstacle to reconfiguring the delivery system in New York. Delays in the CON application process, which is administered by the Health Department’s Public Health and Health Planning Council, result in higher construction costs and delay patients’ access to modern treatments and facilities, the report noted. “The CON process needs to incentivize rather than block reconfiguration and should be designed to improve timely access to the most current and effective treatments,” HANYS said. HANYS recommends that the certificate of need be eliminated for services by licensed health care providers other H EA LT

are expected to increase in the new health care system. In May, Westmed Practice Partners, a startup division of the 230-physician Westmed Medical Group, announced its partnership with Mount Sinai Medical Center. The New York City hospital will outsource the operation of a 75,000-square-foot outpatient medical office in Brooklyn Heights to Westmed. Dr. Simeon Schwartz, Westmed’s founder and president, called the Mount Sinai partnership “an industry-transformative event” in health care. The state Health Department, said HANYS, should be limited to 60 days to respond to any CON applicant proposing to reconfigure a facility or create or expand outpatient service. The proposal should be automatically approved if the state fails to meet the 60-day deadline.

county medical societies, which have vigilantly sought to protect health services long performed by physicians from being done by nurses and other professionals. The hospitals advocate also wants the state to give registered nurses expanded authority to implement standing orders, or standard treatment procedures that do not require a doctor’s written medical order for a specific patient. “Outdated scope of practice restrictions in New York state are not consistent with current national standards and impede delivery system efficiency,” HANYS said. To increase flexibility, HANYS recommended that registered nurses in New York no longer be required to have one year of clinical experience before work-

ing in an emergency department. State regulations prohibit what has become the national standard in nursing, a mentoring program for new emergency room nurses to provide training and experience. HANYS officials said the state should stop requiring doctors who provide telemedicine consultations remotely to have the patient’s health assessed by the hospital where the patient is located. New York already has eliminated the hospital assessment for physicians consulting from areas outside the state. For hospital-employed physicians, HANYS recommended the state allow them to make paid house calls to treat patients in their homes or in nursing homes. Current state regulations prohibit that. Allowing house calls “would better serve the patients they see and would reduce costs,” HANYS said. For pharmacists and several other licensed professions, New York does not allow non-U.S. citizens to practice in the state. That should be changed to allow professionals with non-immigrant visas or other legal credentials to practice here and “to create the largest pool of qualified professionals possible,” HANYS said. To eliminate duplicate and nonessential medical reporting requirements, HANYS recommended the governor’s office establish a work group of Health Department and industry representatives to report within six months on a plan to reform the reporting system and share information among state databases. Many of the state’s regulations date to the late 1980s and have never been updated, HANYS officials said, “though the health care industry has evolved dramatically during that period. New York state rules have simply not kept up with the times.”

Insurer eyes doubling staff BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

ew York Life Insurance Co. could double its Westchester County workforce between now and 2015, a top executive predicted at the official opening of the company’s new offices at 777 Westchester Avenue in White Plains. The global insurance giant’s Westchester General Office, which employs more than 100 agents and roughly 15 executives and staff members, completed its move into the 25,000-square-foot facility late last month. New York Life Chairman and CEO Ted Mathas was present for a May 22 ribbon-cutting ceremony, and was joined by Westchester Managing Partner Darin Fass, Deputy Westchester County Executive Kevin Plunkett and White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach. Fass said in a subsequent interview that he sees room for growth. “My belief is it’s an insatiable market nationwide, and I think that here in Westchester there is an enormous opportunity,” Fass said. “We have a huge level of wealth in Westchester that it’s known for … so there’s lots and lots of opportunity.” Despite neighboring New York Life general offices in New York City and southern Connecticut, Fass said he would like to double the agency’s workforce over the next several years. “I think there’s lots of opportunity (for growth). I think we could double the size of our office without our agents stepping on each other’s toes,” Fass said. The move to 777 Westchester Avenue comes after the agency in 2011 announced it would move to a 27,500-square-foot facility at 707 Westchester Avenue. Both properties are part of The Exchange portfolio of properties owned by Normandy Real Estate Partners, headquartered in Morristown, N.J. The initial lease was brokered by Greg Frisoli of Cushman & Wakefield and Mitti Liebersohn of Jones Lang LaSalle. Fass said it was important when relocating for the agency to stay near the county’s central transit corridors. “We’re part of the fabric of the Westchester community,” he said. “I have agents who go into Connecticut, who go into Rockland and Putnam County, but I think from a logistical standpoint White Plains is the best nucleus to start from. Here we’re really in more of a commercial area, but it’s very accessible to downtown White Plains and all the highways.” The Westchester general office is one of 116 such New York Life agencies across the country, with a total of nearly 12,250 employees nationwide.

Deals and Deeds Indoor theme park coming to Ridge Hill

Merlin Entertainments Group, an international theme park and visitor attraction operator based in England, in July expects to begin building a 33,000-square-foot Legoland Discovery Center at Westchester’s Ridge Hill in Yonkers. The $12 million attraction, expected to open in late spring 2013, will be the company’s fifth Legoland center in the U.S. The indoor play centers are designed for families with children 3 to 10 years old. The Ridge Hill project is part of an aggressive global growth plan by Merlin, the world’s second largest visitor attraction operator after Disney. Glenn Earlam, managing director of Merlin’s Midway Attractions Operating Group, in a press release said he believes that “Ridge Hill is destined to become a very

popular leisure ‘destination’ not just for local Westchester County family visitors, but also for those from the greater metropolitan area – a catchment area with a high proportion of families with young children - so exactly the right location for us, and for a Legoland Discovery Center.” He said the family attraction should deliver “significant incremental business to both the mall and to the area as a whole.” Merlin already works with Ridge Hill’s owner, Brooklyn-based Forest City Ratner Companies, in Manhattan, where Merlin operates Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum. Forest City Ratner formally opened the Ridge Hill mixed-use development last October. LEGO models for the Ridge Hill attraction will be made in Merlin’s specialist studios around the world and shipped in during construction.

Distressed buyers enter Westchester

New Jersey-based investment partners have acquired a 100,000-square-foot class-A office building in Valhalla after the previous owner defaulted on a $13.6 million mortgage. The recently closed deal with lender GE Capital is the first in Westchester County for KABR Real Estate Investment Partners L.L.C, a real estate value-added fund in Paramus, and Capstone Realty Group. Inc., an Englewood company that acquires distressed debt and defaulted commercial properties. Jerry Kiley, of Stone Harbour L.L.C. in Stamford, Conn., brokered the transaction. The 27-acre property was acquired in 2007 by Abbey Road Advisors L.L.C. in Westport, Conn. The new owners acquired the defaulted first mortgage from the lender. The KABR and Capstone partners said they plan immediate upgrades to the three-story building, including a new café, conference room, lobby and common area improvements. It will have more than 25,000 square feet of newly built space available for smaller entrepreneurial firms or mid-sized professional companies. “Our strategy is to purchase well-located, distressed commercial assets at the right basis.” KABR partner Adam Altman said in a press release. After physical improvement, the properties are marketed “with an aggressive leasing strategy.” The New York City Department of Environmental Protection leases about 50 percent of the building. Other tenants include Sleep Services of America, Effective Telemarketing Inc., and David A. Nigrelli P.L.L.C. — John Golden

Making sense of the suburbs BY ZOE ZELLERS zzellers@westfairinc.com

How do you compensate partners? Let me count the ways.

hrough a series of college jobs in real estate offices, Alison Bernstein, founding owner of The Suburban Jungle Realty Group, was introduced to that industry more than 15 years ago. Aside from a brief stint in finance and investment banking, Bernstein has followed that calling. Returning to studies at Columbia Business School, “I knew I wanted to pursue the passion and I wanted to do residential real estate,” Bernstein said, “but I thought that there was a better way to do it and the question was, ‘How do you better execute the model?” Bernstein launched her solution, The Suburban Jungle Realty Group, in 2008. The Manhattan-based company exclusively targets home buyers moving out of the city into Westchester County, Connecticut, Long Island and New Jersey. It provides free consulting on towns eyed by house hunters. Bernstein estimated that the group covers 500 towns. “I didn’t want to grow it aggressively,” she said. “I wanted to make sure every client was happy. We have a 100 percent closing rate, which is unbelievable in this industry.” This year the company has more than doubled its staff, hiring 30 workers. Many are town consultants – they guide potential buyers through the towns in which they live. “A lot of our business is trying to find the right town for each individual, and as you know, each town is very different in terms of personality,” Bernstein said. She incorporated that lesson into her business model after her own struggles in relocating from Manhattan, first to Fairfield County and then to Westchester. “There was a void in the marketplace,” she said. House-hunting New Yorkers had no service that helped them understand the differences in communities, schools, public spaces, transportation and other elements of suburban enclaves such as Armonk, where Bernstein lives, and Westport, Conn., her former home. “The key to our success has really been having locals on the ground letting us know what’s going on, not from a real estate perspective but from a community-feeling perspective,” said Bernstein. Many of the consultants are stay-at-home moms. They also include part-time business owners, freelancers, and laid-off workers. Marisa Marlin is a stay-at-home mother to two girls in Chappaqua, to which she moved eight years ago from New York City. Marlin said her local experience “allows me to inform clients on everything from grocery stores to which synagogues, churches, camps and pool clubs to join. Town experience is

cyclical and since I am experiencing it right now, I can comment on it now and give fresh perspective.” For instance, she said, Chappaqua may not be the right town for a mother who works in the city, as school PTAs tend to hold morning meetings. Marlin also prepares Manhattanites for the competitive nature of the town’s school system. “Children are reading before kindergarten and it is not uncommon for kids to be tutored at this young age, something to consider,” she said. A native Manhattanite, Joele Levenson has lived in Scarsdale for two years. As a Suburban Jungle consultant, her job is “providing honest information about my experience in Scarsdale to aid clients during their discovery process,” she said. “Scarsdale is also unique because it has five distinct areas and many people are interested to gain some insight on the differences.” Levenson said most clients initially consider from five to 10 towns in their house search and then focus on two to three for their purchase. In her own house hunting, Bernstein said, “I made mistakes along the way.” They included an initial move to Westport, “which is beautiful and on paper it was like the perfect town,” but did not match her expectations. “I just wished I knew certain things that I didn’t know during the process,” she said. “I saw that there was a huge need, and I also look at real estate and this really is where I think the industry is going. I think that you need to be laser-focused on a particular market segment.” For Suburban Jungle, that market segment is the leaving-the-city crowd. “Our sweet spot is early to mid-30s, some late 20s, and that’s the life cycle that we built the business upon, and it’s truly recession-proof because even though the real estate market has ups and downs, people are still getting married, people are still having kids, and they’re still going to need to move out of the city,” said Bernstein. “Not everybody does, but the segment that will, will still do it.” “Now, are they going to spend $2 million anymore,” on their first suburban home? “Probably not,” she said.

BY JOHN P. BRYAN, CPA CITRIN COOPERMAN Whether you are a physician, attorney or other professional, all service organizations need to actively address their methodology for compensating owners. Methods of compensating owners come in many different shapes and sizes but follow three general frameworks. One of the easiest approaches is sharing profits equally or based on equity. On the other end of the spectrum are compensation plans where all profits are allocated to the partners based on a measure of performance (also known as “eat what you kill”). Lastly, are plans that are split between equity sharing and performance. While sharing profits equally may be easiest and can be the path of least resistance, it is rarely the best approach. In many cases, the more productive partners resent the fact that they are working harder but getting paid the same. Some partners may not put forth their best effort since there is no incentive to do so, and it may also hamper the practice from attracting top talent. If you are not measuring performance and then rewarding it in partner compensation, you are ignoring an issue that has a real potential of breaking up your business. While a strict performance-based approach encourages and rewards individual effort, it may not encourage teamwork. Performance can be measured in a number of different ways. It could be chargeable hours, cash receipts by a partner, new business generation, or some other measure that tracks and rewards profitability. For example, in a healthcare practice, work relative value units (“wRVU”) are often used. wRVU’s are generally considered to be an objective measure of the effort required to perform a medical procedure and are readily available from a regularly updated database maintained by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. So in a simple example, if partner “A” brings in 35% of the receipts or generates 35% of the wRVU’s, he or she would then be allocated 35% of the profits. Although this approach is also generally easy to administer, it is very important to be sure

you have the right metric to measure performance for your business. The metric or metrics should be something that can be readily measured while at the same time encouraging a behavior that helps the business succeed. Rarely do I find that equal sharing or pure performance based models work the best. To encourage effort and profitability, promote teamwork and recognize partner managerial responsibilities, a hybrid approach is often most effective. Many compensation plans will share an agreed upon percentage of the profits equally, or by equity, and with a percentage of the profits based on a performance measure. Some plans also measure profits generated by employees and share them equally among the partners. More sophisticated arrangements will not only measure effort but also measure the cost of services. In a medical group with more than one specialty, there may be a need to recognize the differences in the cost of delivering services (i.e. surgery versus office visit). The same could be true in a specialty law practice. Revising partner compensation plans can be very contentious, resulting in heated discussions and bruised feelings. Nevertheless, compensation plans must keep up with the times or you run the risk of the practice being unable to attract high performing owners or, worse, losing key ones. Remember, when “star” partners are not rewarded, they are often the first to leave and this can lead to the downfall of your business. The key is finding what works for your business. A well conceived compensation plan will provide clarity for business objectives and motivation for the business’ owners.

between Interstate-287, Interstate-684 and the Hutchinson River Parkway. “We call it the Platinum Center,” said Frank Fish, principal of Buckhurst, Fish and Jacquemart Inc., a Manhattan consulting firm that has been contracted by the town to coordinate the comprehensive plan revisions. Fish said it is important not to overreact to the current office park vacancies along the stretch of I-287 known as the Platinum Mile, but said targeted mixed-use developments could jump-start the local economy and add to tax revenue while largely not affecting enrollment in the area school districts. Several properties located within the proposed Platinum Center zoning district have been plagued by vacancies and high-profile departures. Last fall, the law firm Wilson, Elser, Moskowitz, Edelman & Dicker L.L.P. said it would move its Westchester offices from 3 Gannett Drive, where it currently occupies the majority of the building, to 1133

will not be taking up that bill in the Senate,” said Skelos spokesman Scott Reif. “He has concerns, like many in the business community, about this legislation hurting New York’s ability to create jobs, which is what we believe should be the priority now.” The Senate version of the bill was sponsored by Sen. Jeffrey Klein, a member of the Senate’s Independent Democratic Conference, whose 34th district includes the Bronx and parts of Westchester. Klein said that putting more money in the pockets of minimum wage earners would spur demand for additional jobs. Klein released a report, prepared with the nonpartisan Economic Policy Institute, that found the $8.50 wage will boost the wages of affected workers by roughly $950 million, of which $600 million will be almost immediately spent on goods and services. That economic activity is expected to spark the creation of an estimated 5,200 new fulltime jobs and add approximately 4,800 new workers to employer payrolls statewide. “Raising the minimum wage is not only the right thing to do for the thousands of New Yorkers who are struggling to make ends meet every week, it also benefits New York state as a whole,” Klein said when introducing the Senate bill. Opponents, though, claim the wage increase will add to the financial burdens of small business owners and result in lost

Westchester Avenue in 2013. Across the street, more than two floors of 4 Gannett Drive are currently vacant, and on neighboring Corporate Park Drive, several buildings are either largely or entirely vacant. Town officials held an informal meeting for property owners, brokers, tenants and other stakeholders on May 23, during which there seemed to be widespread support for the changes, said town of Harrison Planning Consultant Patrick Cleary. Public meetings regarding the updates are scheduled for later this month, with formal adoption of the revised comprehensive plan expected in November if all goes according to plan. “All signs have been pointing toward it staying on track,” Cleary said. “I remain very optimistic ... I think we’re talking the beginning of next year before you’ll see applications that are making their way very quickly through the approval process.” He noted that a sense of urgency is propelling the plans forward. “This is our opportunity to get this right,” Cleary said. “I don’t think we’re going to get too many chances to make a mistake here, so we’ve got to get it right now and we’ve got to take advantage of the opportunities that

exist today... If we can’t address a particular applicant, they’ll be in Greenburgh or White Plains or somewhere else.” Justin Krebs, principal of Normandy Real Estate Partners, headquartered in Morristown, N.J., and head of the company’s northeast division, said the key is to expand the scope of the existing Platinum Mile properties beyond the typical 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. workday. “Placemaking is becoming a real popular trend in this mixed-use discussion,” Krebs said. “How do you make a place (and) bring in those elements where people want to spend time beyond their working hours? That’s the key piece.” Normandy owns The Exchange, an office portfolio that includes 14 buildings totaling 1.5 million square feet along the Platinum Mile corridor. Included in The Exchange are two properties – 103 Corporate Park Drive and 105 Corporate Park Drive – that have been mostly vacant for years and would fall into the proposed mixed-use zoning district being discussed by the town of Harrison. “We’re actively looking at those assets for redevelopment,” Krebs said, in hopes of creating “a more robust environment for people

to be working, living and commuting to.” Robert Weisz, chairman and CEO of RPW Group Inc. in Rye Brook, which owns more than 3 million square feet of office, retail and warehouse space in Westchester and Fairfield County, Conn., echoed Krebs, saying that mixed-use developments including residential units would only raise the value of the surrounding properties. “We have consulted with a number of our tenants and potential tenants to see what factors would make it more likely for them to relocate to Westchester and what areas could be improved for the companies already in the region ... and frankly, having housing options is at the top of the list,” Weisz said. By intertwining multiple properties in the proposed Platinum Center zoning district, “You could create a huge, almost campus-like atmosphere,” said George Constantin, president and CEO of Heritage Realty Services L.L.C., which is based in New York City and owns three properties on Gannett Drive. “The residential will play a role in that, the retail will play a role in that, our office buildings will play a role in that, and that’s how you have a healthy, strong and vibrant community,” Constantin said.

jobs for low wage earners. Heather Bricetti, president and CEO of the state Business Council, said the Assembly in approving the hike “has taken a step in the wrong direction.” She said the $8.50 wage would cost employers an extra $2,900 for a full-time employee. Bricetti

Prosperity, has been joined by several large companies, national and regional business groups and more than 200 small business owners in New York. The list includes Costco, the Greater New York Chamber of Commerce, the American Sustainable Business Council and, in Irvington, Eileen Fisher Inc. Eileen Fisher, the women clothing company’s founder and chief creative officer, in a press release announcing the Business for a Fair Minimum Wage campaign, noted the “enormous contribution” of New York City factory workers to her 28-year-old company’s fabrics production. Raising the state’s minimum wage “would be a step on the path to acknowledging the positive difference they make in the success of our company and all brands who engage local labor in their supply chains.” As the legislative session winds down, the minimum wage increase has broad support among New Yorkers, according to a Quinnipiac University poll conducted in late May. Voters supported the wage hike by a 79-18 percent margin. Among Republicans, 61 percent favored increasing wages. More poll respondents thought the hourly minimum should be set higher than $8.50, compared with those supporting the Assembly-approved increase. And 51 percent of respondents did not think small businesses will reduce hiring if the minimum wage is raised, compared with 41 percent who agreed with wage hike opponents that jobs will be lost. At The Business Council of Westchester, “We haven’t taken a position,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer

John Ravitz, “but we recognize the fact that the present minimum wage doesn’t work in Westchester for employees. When you look at the cost of living in Westchester County, we’re realistic that this has to be addressed.” A wage increase “could be a hardship” for

The bill’s Assembly supporters “are making a very unfortunate mistake for which struggling small businesses and entry-level job seekers are going to pay a high price.” — Mike Durant, state director for the National Federation of Independent Business cited “recent studies” that show “that raising the minimum wage would result in lost jobs and a reduction in training opportunities for low-income employees.” Mike Durant, state director for the National Federation of Independent Business, said New York’s small business owners have said a minimum wage increase would be “devastating.” The bill’s Assembly supporters “are making a very unfortunate mistake for which struggling small businesses and entry-level job seekers are going to pay a high price.” Yet a spring campaign in support of the wage hike, organized by Business for Shared

Mooney Jr. In an affluent county where large corporations and mid-sized companies do business, a minimum-wage increase “is not a big deal,” he said. “There’s no pushback against something like that here.” Mooney said he has heard more support for a wage hike this spring than in previous years. “I think everybody is more appreciative of somebody else’s plight than they were a few years ago,” he said.

Tesla plugs into Westchester with first East Coast store BY JANICE KIRKEL jkirkel@westfairinc.com

esla Motors, with its new Model S sedan ready to begin deliveries this month, has expanded its retail network to The Westchester, the first new-edition design store on the East Coast. The store features a hands-on exhibit of the Model S drivetrain, a design section where people can assemble the features of their car and a touch screen where shoppers can learn about how to charge the car, how far it can go under different conditions and other technological aspects of it. “Our sales strategy is very different from the rest of the automotive industry,” said George Blankenship, Tesla’s vice president of worldwide sales and ownership experience. He said Tesla encourages people to come in

and browse, to experiment with the touch screen, and go home and think about it all. Their product specialists, not salesmen, work on salary, not commission. Tesla is opening four more stores this summer in Santa Monica, Calif., Scottsdale, Ariz., Portland, Ore., and Miami Beach. The Model S was designed from the ground up as an electric car. Its predecessor, the Roadster, Tesla’s first car, was a two-seat sports car made in conjunction with Lotus Cars, the British manufacturer of sports cars. It cost more than $100,000, went 245 miles on a single charge and could go from 0 to

60 in less than 4 seconds. The Model S will cost half as much, can seat as many as seven and is somewhat slower to accelerate, going from 0 to 60 in about 4½ seconds. It has a touch screen on the dashboard with wireless capabilities that allows for streaming radio, navigation and web browsing. There are three battery pack options and each can be recharged using any conventional outlet. Tesla said it has 10,000 orders for it so far. The cars can be serviced at regional service centers. Tesla Rangers travel from the service hubs to inspect, repair and maintain the cars. Tesla’s merchandising operation is in evi-

dence in the store with T-shirts, water bottles, baby clothes, caps, warm-up jackets and toy cars and crayons for the kids. Blankenship said right now it will take a year to get a Model S, but once things get up and running, he said they will be able to be produced in about three months. “Our production line is built,” he said, “and parts are being shipped to factories.” Tesla’s one factory is in Fremont, Calif. Blankenship said the company “bought it about 20 months ago and is retrofitting it for the Model S.” He said Tesla expects to produce about 20,000 Model S cars a year.

Taro Pharma posts profit Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., based in Hawthorne, reported that earnings almost doubled in the quarter ended March 31. Taro earned $47 million, or $1.06 a share, up from $26 million, or 58 cents a year earlier. Sales rose 35 percent to $145 million. “We are pleased with the quarter’s results and the consistent progress that we continue to make,” said Kal Sundaram, Taro’s recently appointed chairman. “As we have stated in the past, a portion of our revenue and profit growth is the result of pricing opportunities, the sustainability of which is uncertain. We intend to ramp up our R and D expenditures in order to improve and grow our pipeline of products in order to remain competitive in a highly competitive market.” During the quarter, Taro received one supplemental new drug application approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for Daranide, used to treat glaucoma. It also received one abbreviated new drug application approval in May for Escitalopram Oxalate oral solution, an antidepressant. Finally, Taro’s board of directors approved a change in the company’s fiscal year end from Dec. 31 to March 31. The change was made to align Taro’s fiscal reporting period and its annual budget planning with that of its major shareholder, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. of India.

equeathing your business to other family members can be a minefield. Misjudging their inclinations can lead to long-lasting conflict. Failure to assess tax implications can leave the business cash poor, threatening the viability of a life’s work and the financial security of loved ones. Few family firms survive into the third generation, and unless business succession is addressed within the context of estate planning, the best intentions may be thwarted. Your plans for the business are likely to have a big effect on the lives of beneficiaries, so ask them how they envision their future role. Are some of your kids already working in the business? Suddenly involving someone new in daily operations risks missteps and confrontations. Does anyone possess the necessary skills to take your place? Would your spouse prefer to sell the company? Facilitating this difficult discussion now is a real gift to those you love, who will be ill-equipped to focus on such issues in the midst of mourning. First-generation businesses are often sole proprietorships, functioning as extensions of the owner’s personal assets, and it may be appropriate to consider alternative business structures as part of your succession planning. Possibilities include: • General Partnership- One or more family members are co-owners alongside the founder. They typically share equally in profits, losses and liability. • Limited Partnership – Owner retains management control as the “general” partner, while one or more limited partners contribute financially. The controlling partner has personal liability for the firm’s obligations, while the liability of others is limited to their investment. • Corporation – Owners are shielded from personal liability. Corporations may issue stock, which facilitates the transfer of ownership through sale or gifting. The downside is that many federal and state regulations apply, and income is taxed at both the corporate and owner level. An exception is the S-corporation, where there is only a single layer of tax. . • Limited Liability Company – A partnership/corporation hybrid, with no personal liability, single-level taxation and easy transfer of ownership. A controlling interest empowers an individual to participate in operations, while a financial interest limits involvement to sharing of profits, losses and asset distributions. All too often, owners transfer the business to their heirs through a last will and testament, exposing hard-earned assets to

steep estate taxes. Many a family business has consequently been liquidated at fire sale prices in order to cover taxes and other final expenses. In fact, it’s wise to review the terms of existing bank loans to ensure that the business doesn’t become starved for cash. At present, estate taxes are scheduled to increase substantially on Jan. 1, 2013. Today, unprotected assets over $5.12 million are taxed at 35 percent, but next year that jumps to 55 percent on holdings over $1 million. In addition, New York state levies a progressive tax of up to 16 percent on estates of more than $1 million. There are, however, options to limit your exposure. Topping the list are assorted trusts, legal instruments that discount the value of a business for tax purposes by granting varying levels of control to others. The more control assigned to others, the greater the tax benefit. Annual gifting is another possibility. Each year, individuals can bestow--tax-free-- gifts valued up to $13,000 each to as many people as they wish, in addition to a lifetime maximum of $5.12 million (dropping to $1 million in 2013). Once the lifetime maximum has been exceeded, gifts over $13,000 are subject to a 35 percent tax, rising to 55 percent in January 2013, unless Congress acts. This means that during 2012, a business valued at $4 million could be given outright to someone else without being subject to gift taxes. On the other hand, such a step could expose them to significant capital gains taxes in the future. If they eventually choose to sell the company, they’d be liable for any appreciation in value from the time you assumed ownership. If you founded the company, that would mean they owed taxes on every penny of accrued value from the time that the firm was established. If they were to inherit the company instead, they’d only be taxed on appreciation from the date of your death. Finally, the company can be sold to other family members. Selling the firm outright or through installments has the advantage of providing a source of retirement income. As an alternative, a buy/sell agreement can be written, stipulating that proceeds from the owner’s life insurance be used to purchase shares in the company. You’ve spent years building the business, so invest the necessary time to safeguard its future. With thoughtful planning, it can be passed to the next generation in a manner that preserves both its value and the family peace. Bernard A.

Cortlandt Manor auto dealer goes green

State pension fund tops $150B BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

according to green building standards. Its parent company, 93-year-old Curry Automotive, also plans to build a greencertified Toyota showroom this year as it makes itself a regional model for environmentally conscientious business. Curry Subaru-Hyundai opens June 4 at 3040 Cortlandt Boulevard. The building was certified as meeting standards of the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED) program. “When we first started planning, our primary goal was to install solar panels,

but once we realized what a significant and positive impact we could make on the environment, we dedicated our resources and effort toward constructing a LEEDcertified showroom,” Robert Carinci, Curry chief operations officer, said in a press release. Bernard F. Curry, CEO and owner of Curry Automotive, said the company’s main goal “was to create a sustainable, healthy, and comfortable building for both customers and employees. By integrating sustainable design and energy efficiency with comfort, safety, utility,

durability, economy, and aesthetics, Curry was able to achieve that goal.” The new dealership is part of a business renaissance on Cortlandt Boulevard, the town of Cortlandt’s renamed and aesthetically enhanced East Main Street commercial corridor. The town’s purchase of decorative street lamps was funded by Curry Automotive and Best Buy. The auto dealer’s project partners included Architectural Visions P.L.L.C. in Mahopac, GTL Construction L.L.C. in White Plains and O’Dea, Lynch, Abbattista Consulting Engineers P.C. in Hawthorne.

New York state’s $150.3 billion pension fund increased in value by nearly 6 percent during the state’s 2011-2012 fiscal year but still fell short of its target growth, Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli reported. Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2012, the New York State Common Retirement Fund – the nation’s thirdlargest public pension fund – earned an estimated 5.96 percent rate of return. That comes after the fund, in September 2010, lowered its assumed long-term investment rate of return from 8 percent to 7.5 percent. “The financial markets took investors on an up-and-down ride last year, but the New York State Common Retirement Fund’s diversified investment portfolio coupled with a longterm view have helped us to weather these large swings,” DiNapoli said in a statement. DiNapoli is sole trustee of the state’s pension fund. He said that at $150.3 billion, the fund’s estimated value is at its highest level since the global recession in the state’s 2008-2009 fiscal year. “Over the last three years, the fund has experienced strong gains during a period of economic instability,” he said. “We remain one of the strongest pension funds in the country.” The fund has yet to reach its peak of $154.5 billion, reached during the 20072008 fiscal year, but has recovered nicely since falling to $110 billion in 2009. The state retirement system provides benefits to about one million active and retired state and local employees outside of New York City. The city has its own retirement system for public employees. Among the strongest-performing areas of the fund were its real estate assets, which returned at 17.6 percent, its fixed income assets, which returned at 9 percent, and its private equity assets, which returned at 8.3 percent.

Performing surgery on operations The folks who run the shop and the people who deliver our services are giving me a headache. I’ve worked hard to put in place policies that will help us to save money and keep us out of trouble with our clients. But I find the procedures I’ve laid out are ignored. People seem to do whatever is convenient. The shop is a mess. Our trucks are worn out with careless driving. Inventory is left lying around, gets lost, damaged or outdated. Each week I find things that have to be thrown away and it makes my blood boil. No one seems to care that I’m paying for the inefficiencies and losses. What can I do? Thoughts of the Day: Define operations’ role. Figure out who’s in charge. Assign everything to someone – from inventory to work hours to trucks. Set goals. Single out the worst offenders and make them accountable. Reward the high performers. If the company is to be profitable, the people who touch the customer, who assemble products or provide services, must do two important things. They must improve the customer’s world. And they must deliver efficiently. Delivering efficiently includes using the least amount of time, energy and materials. In other words, focusing on conservation of resources. Improving the customer’s world means operating as close to error- and offense-free as possible while delivering what the customer expects. Make sure your people understand that definition and buy into it. Take a look at your organization’s structure. Everyone can’t report to you. The optimum number of direct reports anyone can have is six to eight. The more diverse the functions reporting to you, the fewer direct reports you should have. If you have sales, finance, marketing, human resources and operations reporting to you, you may max out at five direct reports. Put someone in charge of operations. You might be tempted to say you don’t have anyone strong enough to do the job. But with everything else on your plate, you’re not

doing a good job managing operations, either. Give up trying to be the big hero and start training someone to do the job. Have that person work beside you. Show them the way you want things done. Write out procedures, if you haven’t already done so. Make sure the person you’re training understands that job security hinges on living up to the standards you’ve set. Break operations down into smaller pieces – inventory, assembly, truck maintenance, customer delivery. Assign one person to each area. Make it clear you plan to hold people accountable. Define what you expect by setting goals. With inventory, focus on accuracy of counts and waste rates. Define the optimum time for delivery. Set a quality standard for assembly. Create a budget for truck maintenance. Track performance in each area – by day and by week. Use charts on the wall to show what’s happening. If inventory is wasted, make everyone aware of it. If assembly and delivery beats the schedule, make everyone aware of that, too. When truck maintenance goes over budget, find out why. Talk in meetings about the cost of errors. Share reports that document inventory waste, lost productivity, and customer returns. Ask people if they are willing to be personally liable for losses. And when they say no, point out that no matter what, YOU are personally liable. Make it clear you’re no longer willing to bear that burden alone. Deal swiftly with the worst performers. Take them aside to discuss what’s going wrong. Find out if they care about the poor results and what they’re doing to correct the situation. If they don’t seem to care, put them on notice that their jobs are on the line. Until people understand that there are real, personal consequences for noncompliance, things are unlikely to change. Single out the high performers at weekly meetings. Recognize their contributions. Ask them to talk about how they achieved their results. Consider a reward: tickets to a game, lunch on the company, leaving early on Friday.

Lawn Doctor franchisee sets the bar

fter a nearly 20-year run in the hotel industry that took Jeff Angus from Seattle to Atlantic City and nearly a dozen locations in between, he was ready to settle down and open his own business. Now, 12 years after reaching that goal, Angus, a New Canaan resident, unexpectedly finds himself at the helm of 10 Lawn Doctor franchises in Westchester and Fairfield counties, making him the company’s largest franchisee. It all started when a series of hotel mergers in the mid-1990s left Angus with a choice: relocate from Westport to Seattle – where he had been immediately before moving to Connecticut – or find a new employer. “Having spent every Monday in the corporate boardroom with a suit and tie on, I thought about going back to the hotel field but ... I didn’t really want to do that, so we said, ‘Let’s buy a small business,’” said Angus, who worked in sales and marketing for Red Lion Hotels Corp. for 15 years before the chain was acquired by Doubletree by Hilton. That was followed by a short stint with HEI Hotels & Resorts in Westport until it was bought by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc.

Since then, Angus has added franchises covering Norwalk and Wilton, Greenwich, and central and northern Westchester. Just this year, Angus acquired the southeastern and southwestern Westchester franchises, giving him the entire county and 10 franchises total, which are all run from the central Stamford Glenn Farrell and Jeff Angus, manager and owner of 10 Lawn Doctor franchises in location.

Now we have a year-round staff and as I drive into the parking lot, here’s this of five and, depending on the season, we’re guy in a Jeep Wrangler with a cutoff shirt and employing 20 to 25.” jeans,” Angus said. Angus attributes his franchises’ success to The deal was finalized in February 1998, his experiences in the hotel industry, where with Angus acquiring the Stamford-Darien- he helped to develop a centralized electronic New Canaan-Westport-Weston franchises as reservation database for Red Lion Hotels. well as the Fairfield-Southport outlets. There, as vice president of sales and mar-

keting, Angus was responsible for the entire sales department and the reservations system for the 60-hotel chain, which at the time had $450 million in annual sales. By applying the same electronic reservation system to his Lawn Doctor franchises, Angus has created a fluid system. “We run about 5,000 customers. We only need two people in the office to do that,” he said. “The guys all travel with laptops in their trucks. Their routes are downloaded by Wi-Fi into the truck each day.” And, as Angus said, “The proof is in the pudding.” Today, Lawn Doctor franchises nationwide are adopting the methods of electronic monitoring that Angus first incorporated. “The nice thing about Jeff is he comes from a larger background and he takes his experience and turns a lawn care company into a company run with a corporate mindset,” said Paul Mumm, vice president of marketing for Lawn Doctor Inc., which has 460 franchises in 40 states and is headquartered in Holmdel, N.J. “When you have a background like that it generates some pretty positive best practices for everybody.” Lawn Doctor was acquired in January by the Los Angeles-based private equity firm Levine Leichtman Capital Partners.

Top executives of public companies listed on the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index earned an average of $9.6 million last year, up 6 percent from 2010, according to the AP survey, which used data from executive pay research firm Equilar. In comparison, the median salary for all U.S. workers was about $39,300 in 2011, up 1 percent from 2010. The heads of at least five publicly traded companies based in Westchester took home more than $10 million in total compensation in 2011, with Rye-based GAMCO Investors Inc. founder, chairman and CEO Mario J. Gabelli topping the list at $61.7 million, according to the company’s most recent definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC. Joining Gabelli atop the list of local earners were Samuel J. Palmisano, who in January was named executive chairman of IBM Corp. after serving as president and CEO of the Armonk technology giant since 2002, Indra K. Nooyi, chairman and CEO of PepsiCo Inc. in Purchase, Martin E. Franklin, executive chairman of Jarden Corp. in Rye and Leonard S. Schleifer, president and CEO of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Tarrytown. The total compensation packages for the latter four in 2011 were $31.8 million, $17.1 million, $13.3 million and $10.6 million, respectively, according to proxy statements filed with the SEC. Both on Wall Street and among midsized and large private companies based in Westchester, executive compensation in 2011 was largely tied to company performance, experts said. Alan G. Badey, managing partner of Citrin Cooperman’s White Plains office, said for years companies have structured their respective executive’s pay package around

specific performance measures. “Most of the compensation plans are set up in a way that incentivizes the profits at the end of the day,” Badey said. “That could be from a dollar standpoint, or they could also be receiving compensation in the form of rights, in terms of ownership of the company.” The AP survey also noted that companies are increasingly emphasizing stock awards over cash bonuses for their top executives, which in turn are tied directly to a particular company’s performance. Ted Miller, founder and president of DataKey Consulting L.L.C. in Mount Kisco, which produces a quarterly business confidence index in collaboration with hundreds of Westchester businesses, said area companies have favored bonuses over salary raises as a means of keeping costs variable. “ Fo r almost every company, the number one costs are salary and compensation to employees, so they’d much prefer – if performance objectives are hit – to go out and pay bonuses because that takes some of the risk away,” Miller said. In addition to eliminating some of the risks, bonuses put the onus back on employees and executives to maximize productivity, Miller said. “It also is an incentive, and so now you’ve got more and more people on your team who are driven by the business’ success.” Any company – from Simon Property, which last year paid CEO David

nooyi

palmisano

Simon $137 million, to Westchester small businesses – must pay competitive wages to their executives to keep profits strong, Badey said. “I have found that the companies who have effective management ... ultimately are continuing to grow,” he said. “There are certain industries that are still getting crushed ... (but) ultimately companies make money because they’re managed well, and in order to get the right managers, you need to compensate them appropriately.” John Alan James, executive director of the Center for Global Governance, Reporting

and Regulation at Pace University’s Lubin School of Business, echoed Badey, saying, “They’ll always tell you if you want the best people, you’ve got to pay what the market demands.” The $9.6 million average total compensation figure reported by the AP represents the highest mark since it began tracking executive compensation in 2006. However, when viewed in relation to the S&P 500 companies’ profits in 2011, James called the 6 percent increase in the average total compensation package “modest.” Profits at companies listed in the S&P 500 rose by an average of 16 percent in 2011, despite a shaky U.S. economy. “I don’t find it (the 6 percent increase) excessive at all,” James said. “It goes back to, what has the return on investment been and what has the return to shareholders equity been – and I hope it has been a lot more than 6 percent.”

Banks remain cautious, but opportunistic BY JANICE KIRKEL jkirkel@westfairinc.com

t was a mixed first quarter for the banking industry – FDIC-insured banks earned a total of $35.3 billion from January to March, up $6.6 billion from the $28.8 billion they earned in the first quarter of 2011. But loan balances fell by $56.3 billion after three straight quarterly increases. “The condition of the industry continues to gradually improve,” said FDIC acting Chairman Martin Gruenberg. “Insured institutions have made steady progress in shedding bad loans, bolstering net worth and increasing profitability. (But) the overall decline in loan balances is disappointing after we saw three quarters of growth last year.” Gruenberg did caution against drawing con-

“

I expected greater things from my bank – and I got them!

I own a local business and I expect a lot – that’s why I now work exclusively with Greater Hudson Bank. My expectations were met on my initial meeting

clusions from one quarter. Two-thirds of banks reported higher earnings. Ten percent reported losses, down from 16 percent a year earlier. The average return on assets, a measure of profitability, rose. But the flow of money into deposit accounts slowed. Lower provisions for loan losses and higher noninterest income were responsible for most of the earnings gain. Banks charged off $22 billion in bad loans, down 35 percent from last year. But the percentage of loans and leases that were not current remained high by historical standards. As for the decline in loan balances, credit card loans fell by $38.2 billion, residential real estate loans fell by $19.2 billion and home equity lines of credit dropped by $13.1 billion. Balances in construction and development loans declined by $11.7 billion. However, loans to commercial and industrial borrowers increased by $27.3 billion, and auto loans were up by $4.5 billion. Gruenberg summed it all up this way. “The improved financial condition of the industry has not yet translated into sustained loan growth. We will continue to watch this indicator closely.” That’s the national picture. What about community banks in Westchester and Fairfield counties? “We are trying to be opportunistic when it comes to lending,” said John Ritacco, Continued on next page

“We are trying to be opportunistic when it comes to lending. As a small bank in a big market there are many opportunities to help small business. There is lending, but the market is not as robust as it used to be.” – John Ritacco, president and CEO of Community Mutual Savings Bank in White Plains As for the bank’s lending standards, “We have stuck to the traditional forms of underwriting whether in commercial lending or mortgages. Traditional underwriting has

stood the test of time for quite a while. We believe in continuing with those processes,” Ritacco said. Daniel Berta, president of Fairfield County Bank in Ridgefield, said his bank isn’t changing its lending practices either. “We were always cautious on lending, that helped us remain strong through the tough times. The word ‘cautious’ should go along with lending all the time.” He said mortgage lending was up in the first quarter and continues to be with record low interest rates. “And we’ve seen a shift lately to purchases rather than refinances. It’s hard to say if it’s a trend.” He did mention though, that “the Westport market has seen more activity. It depends on the size of the house. In Westport we’re seen more activity at all different levels. In general though, the more reasonable homes, under $1 million, tend to be moving.” John Tolomer, president and CEO of The Westchester Bank in Yonkers, said lending “has risen dramatically. It appears that pastdue loans and foreclosures are beginning to stabilize.” Loans were up 46 percent in the first quarter. “Banks always face the question of whether it’s better to lend it out or invest in Treasuries,” he said. “The low rates encourage banks to make loans.”

its acquisition of HSBC Bank branches in the Hudson Valley, upstate New York and Connecticut. The company converted more than 100 former HSBC branches and transitioned all customer accounts over the May 19-20 weekend. Those locations opened as First Niagara branches May 21, with 1,200 new team members serving 500,000 new households. As a result of the acquisition, the bank will now have more than 200 branches across New York and more than doubling its base of business in Fairfield County. HSBC entered the Fairfield County market in 2007, and in just two years built a deposit base of more than $600 million at 10 branches before deciding to divest its area retail banks. Last year Buffalo-based First Niagara acquired NewAlliance Bank, pick-

ing up eight branches with more than $266 million in deposits as of June 2011 when it announced the HSBC deal.

Gupta trial begins

With jury selection in mid-May, federal prosecutors began their trial of Westport, Conn., resident Rajat Gupta, who says he is innocent of insider trading charges in the ongoing Galleon Group hedge fund probe. Gupta is a former head of McKinsey & Co. and onetime board member of AMR Corp., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Procter & Gamble Co. Prosecutors say they have evidence, including wiretaps, showing that Gupta passed Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam tips on public companies. Rajaratnam is serving an 11-year sentence for insider trading.

Loan market ‘average’

Three in four companies polled in April said credit availability was not a problem for their businesses, according to the Connecticut Business and Industry Association and Farmington Bank. Just 15 percent of respondents rated current conditions as either good or excellent, while 47 percent rated current credit conditions as average. About 38 percent stated that current credit conditions were either poor or fair. When asked about types of financing their firms needed most, 30 percent of respondents stated they needed working capital for day-to-day operations, while 11 percent said that the capital was needed for machinery and equipment purchases.

What startup hedge funds need to know

BY HENRY PHILLIPS

nvestor interest in seeding and emerging hedge fund managers is set to rise this year. Rather than focus exclusively on short-term goals, emerging hedge fund managers should define a long-term vision and strategy designed to attract and retain capital and talented resources. This particularly rings true in the crowded Connecticut market, which was ranked by CityUK as the third-largest owner of hedge fund assets in 2011 after New York City and London. Managers should ask themselves the following questions: • Will the strategies and products we trade tomorrow be the same as today? • How do we evaluate and select the right service providers? • Should we consider using multiple prime brokers? If so, how will we consolidate data? • What are the options and implications of outsourcing? • To what extent should we “shadow” our administrator to ascertain that net asset value and other calculations are correct? • Do we have the right technology platform to deal with future growth in size and complexity? • Is our team structured correctly with the appropriate skill sets? • Are our compensation structures able to incent and retain our people? Increased regulation in the hedge fund industry, coupled with growing investor demands for full compliance, has the industry at a crossroads and is creating significant pressure for hedge funds to reevaluate their current compliance programs. For example, tax issues do not often take center stage in the hedge fund industry, but a confluence of factors has made tax issues particularly relevant. This is a trend that is likely to continue. Months of congressional debates over deficit reduction have kept alive the possibility of tax increases. Other tax-compliance issues facing the industry are the impact of the Affordable Care Act and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. Also, changes in regulatory reporting requirements may prove a challenge for

the hedge fund industry, whether it is the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Form PF or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s change in filing exemptions. New managers should understand the regulation impacting the industry and see if their organization has appropriate resources to build a comprehensive compliance framework. Many hedge funds are beginning to understand the importance of establishing their own risk management framework and how it can contribute to enhanced success. The evaluation should consider, at a minimum, market, liquidity, leverage, counterparty and operational risks. New managers should think about what their appropriate risk appetite is. Five years ago, the presence of a CFO

or chief operating officer (COO) at a hedge fund might have been considered optional, but now it can be viewed as a business necessity. Investors and regulators are constantly demanding information and evidence of internal controls. Regulators and institutional investors expect emerging funds to be able to operate and provide the same level of control and transparency as mature funds, while also being nimble and adaptable to change. Startup funds should consider hiring a COO or CFO from the beginning. This role should be filled by an experienced financial and operations manager who can work closely with the portfolio manager. New managers need to focus on making smart trades, not working on issues where

they are not experts. Conversely, the CFO or COO should ensure that the business is scaled to support the asset size and trading portfolio that is envisioned by the manager. The hedge fund industry is large and growing, exceeding $2 trillion globally in 2011, and the number of funds continues to grow. Success should come to those industry players willing to raise their game and who are able to thrive under pressure – with the right people and infrastructure in place and attention to regulatory requirements and risk management.

Message from Jim Steets Finding new donors for your nonproﬁt is a continuous challenge that requires persistence, ingenuity and a lot of creativity. The tried and true ways of doing things are good to maintain but if you want to reach a new audience and establish new relationships, you might want to try something, well, new. • Consider an online contest requiring visitors to submit their email address. • Host a raﬄe or give-away requiring supporters’ names and emails. • Host a joint event with another likeminded organization. • Ask company supporters to consider spotlighting your organization on their website, blog or newsletter. • Ask your top donors to host a small event where you can introduce your organization to their friends, neighbors or colleagues. Remember to obtain a potential donor’s contact information and have your standard question at the ready. For example, “May I take down your email address so I may send you more information about our organization?” An email address may be seen as less threatening than asking for a donor’s address or phone number. But if you like any of these ideas, proceed only after you’re sure you won’t be over-extending yourself at the cost of your proven programs. More is not necessarily better but good ideas can sometimes generate a lot of excitement and valuable support. Good Luck! — Jim Steets, Vice President, Communications, Entergy

“I

really wanted a garage,” says Stephen Grisanti. “My passion has always been cars,” says the Mount Vernon native, ever upwardly mobile since his first set of wheels at 16, a $400 Pinto. That was nearly 40 cars ago. “When I lived in Rye, me not having a garage was kind of like Julia Child not having a kitchen.” We gaze upon a high, barnlike garage of dark cedar attached to his replica colonial home in Somers. A Model-T-era auto swings slightly in a spring breeze on the weathervane atop a cupola. The garage’s handmade wooden doors, built by Grisanti’s cousin with lumber from his one-man sawmill upstate, are closed. “That was one of the reasons we moved here,” he says. Not to hide his cars, but to house them. To give them a clean, well-lighted place, the overhead track-lights treatment they deserve. “I wanted to build a special garage,” he says. “I’ve been a Porsche enthusiast since I was a young kid. The first Porsche I had seen was in Mount Vernon when I was 14 years old. It was a guy who delivered chickens – from Chicken Delight.” You never forget a chicken that arrives in a Porsche. On the front lawn, a landscaping crew prepares plantings. They get lunch from the homeowner, but no peek at his vintage Porsches. They’re not “garage queens” that never leave their throne room to hazard the outdoors, with its falling branches and dusty pollen and too-tight-for-comfort restaurant parking lots. Grisanti voices mild scorn for “garage queens.” Still, a man’s love affair with his Porsches is quite private. “I don’t buy them for investments. I buy them because I love them,” he says. (Not that they’re a bad investment: his ’68 Porsche 912 coupe has doubled in value since he paid $48,000 for it.) It’s not a love he flaunts at car shows or in front of hired help. Three mint-condition cars, perfectly shined with toothbrush precision and obsessive attention to detail. It’s what you’d expect of the guy who founded Classic Shine Auto Fitness Center in his early twenties. It’s what you might expect of a drummer in a band – 60 to 70 gigs a year back in the day – whose frequent, even fanatical, polishing of his cymbals inspired his next business gig, Greenwich Metal Finishing. “I’m not just a neat freak, I’m an extreme…” The right word is as hard to find as a dust bunny in Grisanti’s domain.

Building a dream, he hits rock

OUT OF THE OFFICE

“I made most of my success built on my fanaticism.” His Greenwich businesses are owned by others now. “I didn’t want to own my own business anymore,” he says. “It owns you when you build a successful business.” For nine years he has run an office and real estate business as operations and leasing director for a midtown Manhattan law firm. It was at the firm that Grisanti learned of an estate closing in Somers about four years ago. The seller had kept one lot out of the deal. “I was very lucky,” says Grisanti, who spent seven months getting needed approvals of the sale from the colleges that were bequeathed the property. Grisanti and his wife, Brigitte Milian, in 2008 sold their saltbox house in Rye at $300,000 less than its price before the housing bust. “We just missed that window, but we got out,” he says. Of three bidders on the Somers land, only Grisanti bid as is. “You never bid a property ‘as is,’ because you might hit rock,” he says. That’s hard-earned wisdom. His piece of Somers sits on a rock ledge. “I probably spent about $150,000 to $160,000 just to deal with rock.” Working with close friends and family

relations in the building trades, the couple built their 2,500-square-foot house for less than $500,000. “It’s an authentic 17-century, center chimney colonial,” with some modern materials and design changes, says Grisanti. “It’s kind of like a blue blazer – a colonial house will never go out of style.” Grisanti was his own general contractor, walking the lot in boots at 5 a.m. before catching the train to the city. During the day, his wife, laid off from her financial services job, oversaw the project from an office on the site. At night, the couple inspected the day’s work by flashlight. In their temporary home, Grisanti organized the project on three work tables and applied his extreme neat-freak brain to details. “People say, ‘Grisanti has a budget for his budget,’” he says. “I’m a budget nut.” “Everybody who builds a house or does a renovation talks about what a nightmare it is. We built this house in less than seven months and it was one of the best experiences we ever had.” “Il mio signo,” reads the sign that hangs high from his garage. “My dream.” “Before it said, ‘my dream garage,’” Grisanti says. “But I had to make it from a six to a two-car garage because of rock issues. So it’s really not my dream garage.”

“I made most of my success built on my fanaticism.”

Grisanti removed the Italian word for garage from the sign. Still, it’s like Julia Child getting her kitchen. “I waited a long time to have it,” Grisanti says of his garage with track lights. “My wife says, ‘Are you going to kiss your cars tonight?’” It’s a ritual with him. “Every night, I open the door and look in,” he says. “When you don’t have it, you appreciate it. I feel lucky.” “They smell different, every one of them.” Like your kids. WCBJ • June 4, 2012
