long-discussed redevelopment project on New Rochelle’s Echo Bay appears to be headed for official approval this fall, although in a significantly scaled back form than originally planned. Forest City Residential Inc., an affiliate of Cleveland-based Forest City Enterprises, plans to build 285 luxury apartments, 25,000 square feet of retail space and a 5-acre waterfront park at an East Main Street site that includes a city public works yard and a portion of an unused armory building. Not everyone is enamored with the proposal and some don’t even like the artist’s renderings of the completed work, which shows kayakers in the bay. Echo Bay, page 6

Companies fall short at creating jobs Report cites failures to meet projections BY johN GoLDeN jgolden@westfairinc.com

A sTATe oVersighT AgenCy has found that companies receiving financial incentives from industrial development agencies by 2012 had 1,642 fewer jobs across New York than they agreed to create when receiving IDA tax breaks five years earlier on their new construction, expansion or relocation projects. The 280 still-active projects approved by IDAs in 2008 received nearly $183 million in financial assistance over the five-year period. In Westchester County, companies by last year had created 82 fewer jobs than they projected

when starting their IDA-backed projects in the recession year of 2008. The state report did not include the Mount Vernon and New Rochelle IDAs, which had not filed their required annual reports with the state when the survey was conducted, and the inactive Mount Pleasant IDA. The job-creation findings were included in the 2013 annual report released last month by the state Authorities Budget Office. The Albany office oversees 45 state authorities and 529 local public authorities. Of the local authorities, 112 are industrial development agencies and 292 are local develJobs, page 6

hen Steven and Karen Pietropaolo sit down to watch the evening news with its accounts of grim tragedies in the region, it’s with an eye on future business. “We watch the news to see what we’re going to be dealing with the next day,” said Steven Pietropaolo, president and CEO of LGI Forensic Engineering P.C. in North White Plains “Whether it’s a building collapse, fire, most of the stuff you see, I’m going to get involved.” As his company’s principal engineer, Pietropaolo specializes in “the high-profile large losses, which are typically fires and explosions and product failure,” he said. Citing the confidentiality agreements required by many of his clients, Pietropaolo was tight-lipped about specific headlinemaking incidents and accidents, many of which caused deaths, for which he was called in to collect material evidence and trace disasters to their causes. He said he also appears three to five times a year in state and federal courts to provide expert testimony for clients in civil cases. With five full-time employees and a dozen consultants, the Pietropaolos run a company whose range of services are sought by insurance companies, utilities that include Con Edison, law firms and the county attorney’s office, claims adjusters and appraisers and fire investigation companies. Clients rely on forensic engineers to scientifically investigate the failures of materials, components, products and structures. LGI consultants – nine engineers, an architect and two field investigators – are called in on “anything that goes wrong – fires, explosions, a building collapses, a construction accident, scaffolding collapse, trip and fall,” the CEO said. “Our services are always in demand.” “We do a lot of mold investigations – sick building syndrome,” said Karen Pietropaolo, who works with her husband as executive vice president. In the 14 years since Pietropaolo bought the business, LGI has employed scientific

methods in the field and in the laboratory to answer the what-caused-it questions for more than 1,000 clients, most of them in New York City and the tristate area. Often they are steered to the Westchester company “just by word of mouth,” Steven said. “We do very little marketing.” LGI’s team of engineers and investigators “answers the question of why,” said Karen Pietropaolo. She coined the company slogan: “When you need to know why…You need LGI.” “Why did the explosion occur, the pipe burst, the foundation collapse, the person was electrocuted, the swing set failed, and on and on,” she said. “That’s basically what we do, is find out why things happened.” “We do a lot of product liability” work, she said. “You wouldn’t believe how many dishwashers get on fire.” In the company’s new materials testing laboratory, a cook stove sat wrapped in plastic, It’s an “exemplar,” Steven explained, a new product model that will be used as LGI applies “reverse engineering” to trace the cause of failure in another stove of the same design.

work of forensic engineers. “I always had an investigative mind,” he said. In this specialty business, “I was able to mix the two passions of being an investigator and using my engineering background.” Working as an insurance claims adjuster, “My first assignment was a boiler failure. My supervisor put the name of an engineer on my desk. It was the guy I bought the company from 10 years later.” The engineering business he bought in 1999 had been founded in 1952 to investigate heating and air conditioner failures for insurance companies and attorneys. “It was a one-man operation,” Pietropaolo said, “basically an engineer working out of his house.” “Steve’s dream was to build the business and really expand it to do lots of different things,” Karen Pietropaolo said.

more than doubled its headquarters and laboratory space when it relocated from its Halstead Avenue location in Mamaroneck to 7 Reservoir Road in North White Plains. The company paid $1.8 million to acquire the 7,700-square-foot building from its previous occupant, an orthopedic medical group. The Pietropaolos have invested approximately $3.25 million to purchase, gut and renovate the building and equip what Steven Pietropaolo called a state-of-the-art testing laboratory. With the recent addition of a scanning electron microscope and the hiring of an engineering lab technician, LGI is expanding its in-house operations to include metallurgical testing. (A leaking water-pipe valve that resulted in damage to condos at Trump Park Residences in Shrub Oak recently has been under the microscope.) Pietropaolo said LGI previously subcontracted some lab testing. “We want to be able to do it all,” he said. Pietropaolo said renovations to the new headquarters started two days after Hurricane Sandy rampaged up the Atlantic coast, leaving in its wake vast property damage and heavy business for LGI in New York and New Jersey. “I think Sandy was probably the biggest, most influential event in the last 10 years,” Pietropaolo said. “Sandy and (Tropical Storm) Irene kept us very busy.” His company has assessed the extent and causes of damage from the October superstorm, determining at homes and businesses whether damage was the result of flooding or wind. That post-Sandy business continues. “Things are going to go into litigation,” Pietropaolo said. “The influence of Sandy is going to be around for a long time.” “It’s a specialty niche business and there is competition,” he said. “I would say it’s a very select type of engineer that can do this.”

study: chappaqua crossing will help new castle businesses BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

proposed retail center on the former Reader’s Digest campus would not draw business away from nearby hamlet shopping districts, a consultant to New Castle’s Town Board recently reported. A study prepared by AKRF Inc. said the anchor grocery store and retail shops proposed by the developer of Chappaqua Crossing could bring more customers and sales to businesses in the hamlets of Chappaqua and Millwood. Summit/Greenfield, the Connecticutbased partnership that owns Chappaqua Crossing, is seeking town approvals to develop 120,000 square feet of retail space on the office campus. It would include a grocery store with 36,000 square feet to 66,000 square feet of space in the iconic Reader’s Digest headquarters building and several new retail stores. Summit/Greenfield this year hired HR&A Advisors Inc., a real estate development consulting firm in New York City, to conduct an environmental impact study at Chappaqua Crossing. New Castle officials later commissioned their own study to assess the proposed retail development’s impact on

existing businesses in the hamlets. The conclusions AKRF drew in its recent study mirror the findings of Summit/ Greenfield’s consultant, a spokesman for the developer said. “There’s a significant outflow of spending from the town of New Castle to other communities because New Castle doesn’t have a supermarket in town,” said Chappaqua Crossing spokesman Geoffrey Thompson. “You have a small A&P in Millwood but nothing in Chappaqua. Think about how many people go to the supermarket every day. That’s taking a lot of people out of town.” Chappaqua’s D’Agostino Supermarket closed in 2011. The town’s consultant found consumer expenditures are already “leaking” from the hamlets to neighboring communities such as Mount Kisco, Pleasantville and Ossining because the hamlets don’t have an anchor grocery store. AKRF said a grocery store at Chappaqua Crossing would draw customers within a 10-mile radius and could bring significantly more traffic to the Chappaqua and Millwood shopping districts than the hamlets can alone. Local shopping areas typically rely on trade from residents within a onemile radius.

Stay or go even If you have tIme left on your lease...

A Chappaqua Crossing grocery would compete largely with other large-format grocery stores outside the community, the consultant said. The town board is setting parameters that make it impossible to put in very small stores that would compete with the retail businesses in the hamlets, Thompson said. “That’s one of their ways of controlling the retail that goes there, to keep the stores at Chappaqua Crossing from undermining and being similar to stores in the hamlets in terms of size,” he said. To keep out competition from big-box national retail chains and small boutiques, AKRF recommended limiting retail space for Chappaqua Crossing tenants to between 54,000 square feet and 84,000 square feet. In its June business survey, the town consultant counted 120 retail stores that occupy 220,800 square feet of space within the two hamlets. The average store in Chappaqua and Millwood occupies 1,840 square feet of space. About 38 hamlet retailers serve personal and laundry needs, including 14 hair and beauty salons, seven nail salons, two day spas, nine dry cleaners and two fitness centers. Personal and laundry needs make up the majority of businesses in both hamlets.

The survey found 23 bars and restaurants and 13 clothing and accessories shops within the shopping districts. AKRF looked at two design concepts proposed for retail development at Chappaqua Crossing. Though both design layouts would create potential competition for local retailers, the consultant said the Town Center model would more directly compete with the hamlet business districts. “There would be some retail overlap with either layout,” AKRF reported. But the Town Center layout would “compete for residents’ leisure time, as it would provide open space and other amenities that would draw users to the space and promote lingering.” Although the Chappaqua Crossing proposal faces heavy opposition from some New Castle businesses and residents, the town supervisor said the project will be an asset for the community that will provide a substantial commercial tax base. “The board wanted to retain the potential for commercial development on the site of Reader’s Digest, meaning not tearing it down but rebuilding it,” said Town Supervisor Susan Carpenter. “The town has been making sure those buildings are redeveloped for commercial use...I don’t think anybody changed their mind about that.”

New face for old office park

Heritage Realty Services to upgrade three buildings, remarket site BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

hile some suburban office parks have abandoned renovation projects and left giant rusting eyesores, Heritage Realty Services L.L.C. plans to revamp its three properties on Gannett Drive and market the site as Westchester Park Center. The idea is to renovate the office

buildings and redesign the space using more natural lighting and brighter colors to attract more tenants. Renovations are expected to cost nearly $13 million. “We want to get away from the office environment of hierarchy and middle management and go to an open space area that’s brighter and happier,” said George Constantin, Heritage Realty Services CEO and president. “Some of the Gannett Office Park was old and it wasn’t healthy

the way it was.” Heritage Realty Services recently signed two new leases, bringing in one new company and retaining another, just as one of its major tenants Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker L.L.P. moved out. “The fact that Wilson Elser left … is not the healthiest for us,” Constantin said. “But it provided an opportunity to start from scratch. We want to eliminate what existed and establish real quality, genuine rental value and renaming the office park is part of it.” Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., one of the world’s largest insurance brokerage and risk management services firms, recently extended its contract for eight years with Heritage Realty Services. The company plans to take advantage of the renovation projects that will start in September. Arthur J. Gallagher’s incentives for staying on the third floor of 2 Gannett Drive include the proximity to the new café on the main floor and the new gym opening up at the end of the street. “From a location standpoint and for the employees, it’s beneficial to not uproot them,” said Charles Brower, Arthur J. Gallagher’s chief operational officer. “There’s also a Life Time Fitness gym coming in, and they are talking about pavement improvements for the office parks.” The health club is being built on the site once occupied by the Gannettowned newspaper The Journal News. The paper moved last year to offices at 1133 Westchester Ave. Improvements and amenities aside, the real draw for Arthur J. Gallagher’s decision to renew its lease with Heritage is the 17-year relationship it has built with Constantin. Heritage provided $200,000 to the company to cover the painting, carpeting and refurbishing expenses in its office, Brower said. In addition, the company’s employees have more space per person, which is a bonus to stay with Heritage. “We have close to 90 people here and 20,000 square feet of space, which normally if we moved away to another place they’d only give us 18,000 square feet because of real estate guidelines on the amount of space allotted per person,” Brower said. Heritage will spend $12.5 million on the office park renovations to redesign the lobbies, hallways and elevators inside 2, 3 and 4 Gannett Drive. Tenants can expect to see Italian frosted glass placed inside 2 and 4 Gannett Drive and wider and taller entrances at 3 Gannett Drive, Constantin said. The old pyramid awnings at each

entrance will eventually come down. “We’re putting in new awnings and paths to the entrances,” Constantin said. “The dark wood is going out and we’re bringing in more natural lighting. All the elevators will be completely replaced from top to bottom along with the common hallways.” Wilson Elser, which occupied 80 percent of 3 Gannett, left four floors totaling 120,000 square feet of space unoccupied. Constantin said he has a potential tenant who saw the blueprints for the new office park. “That tenant looked at our architectural renderings and liked what we’re doing,” Constantin said. “We don’t want to make an announcement on who it is yet. We started working with them two to three months ago.” As the Westchester Park Center competes with larger commercial real estate properties for tenants, Constantin said his focus is on delivering a high-end global office environment. “Those large office buildings are former headquarter properties and they’re not conducive to having tenants under 10,000 to 15,000 square feet,” Constantin said. “We want to create a multitenant environment so every floor in our building will have four to five tenants and add diversity. We don’t have the mile-long hallway to get to offices like the bigger office parks.” Heritage Realty Services maintains 386,000 square feet of office space at Westchester Park Center, and the rental cost per square foot is in the mid-$20 range. In addition, Heritage owns properties at 12 E. 52nd St., 420 Fifth Ave. and 67 Irving Place in Manhattan. Tenants can lease their spaces for extended periods of time and anything above seven years is considered a longterm lease. On average, bigger companies have stayed for 10 to 15 years and smaller ones have stayed for three to five years. Constantin said Heritage Realty Services has retained most of its tenants, and some have shuffled around between 2 and 4 Gannett Drive, which are currently 90 percent occupied. “At 2 Gannett Drive our tenants expanded at Clark Dodge and went from the fourth floor of 2 Gannett Drive and tripled its space on the second floor,” Constantin said. “Accountants Inc. doubled their space, so it decided to relocate within our office from 2 Gannett to 4 Gannett.” Wilson Elser is the first tenant Heritage Realty Services lost before its lease ended, Constantin said.

nEW hotEL oWnEr to rEnovAtE in Mount kisco

A New Hampshire-based hotel owner and operator plans a multimillion-dollar renovation at its first acquisition in Westchester County, the Mount Kisco Holiday Inn. Roedel Companies L.L.C., of Wilton, N.H., paid $8.5 million for the 65,000-squarefoot, 122-room hotel, according to brokers at HK Group in Westport, Conn. The seller was Florida-based Kisco Motel Associates Inc. The sale was brokered by Matthew Keefe, president of HK Group, and David Lindland, the firm’s senior vice president. Roedel Companies partner David roedel in a press release said the company plans to renovate all public spaces in the hotel at 1 Holiday Inn Drive, including the lobby, corridors and meeting and banquet rooms. The hotel restaurant, currently operated as Teddy’s Restaurant, will be repositioned and rebranded, he said. The hotel will remain open during the renovations, expected to begin in the first quarter of 2014. ROK Builder, the hotel construction affil-

iate of Roedel Companies, will oversee the renovation, while RGH Hospitality, the company’s hotel management subsidiary, will operate the hotel. Another New Hampshire company, RSJ Associates L.L.C., will direct interior design and procurement. Roedel Companies owns and operates nationally branded select-service hotels throughout the eastern U.S., including the 111-room Hilton Garden Inn in Fishkill. The company this month announced it has an agreement to purchase Hotel Saranac, a historic Adirondacks institution in the village of Saranac Lake. Roedel Companies is the successor to Chalet Susse International Inc., which was founded in 1967 by Fred B. Roedel. Brokers at HG Group in a press release said the Mount Kisco sale shows that the hospitality market “has come a long way back from its low point of 2008-09.”

Echo Bay —

the public works yard, which is set to be relocated and must either be moved or rebuilt due to its condition, according to officials. The developer will contribute $2.5 million to the move, with another $1.5 million coming from a state grant, though the entire purchase of new property and construction could cost upward of $30 million. The 36,575-square-foot armory building will be spared, though its ultimate fate remains unclear. Last year, the city agreed to a proposal from a nonprofit group called Good Profit to convert the armory into a market, but the group failed to meet a deadline to pay the city a $50,000 fee and sign a letter of agreement for the project. Much of the opposition to the modified Echo Bay proposal stems from the reduced retail space, a concern for a city whose residents often complain about having to visit other towns for their shopping needs. Supporters note that White Plains’ recent business surge began with the development of luxury apartments and condominiums. But County Legislator Jim Maisano, a Republican who lives in New Rochelle, said residents heard a similar refrain during the construction of the Avalon and Trump high-rises years ago. “They said, ‘If you build it, they will come.’ Well, where’s the retail?” he asked. Maisano said he hoped the City Council would ultimately reject the project. “I don’t think it’s a close call – this proposal is intellectually indefensible.”

Mayor Noam Bramson, a Democrat currently seeking election as county executive, said that the project remains an “important, impactful and significant development” for the city. “It’s been my belief that our problem is not an absence of retail space, it’s been a challenge filling that retail space. I’d rather have 25,000 (square) feet successfully filled than have a larger portion, a portion of which goes vacant.” Bramson touted the economic benefits of the project, the value to the community of opening up a currently inaccessible portion of the Long Island Sound and the development’s potential to spark the entire area as originally envisioned. “It is tempting, but dangerous to make ‘the perfect’ the enemy of ‘the good,’” he said. Forest City officials said they have worked with the city to address concerns and will continue to do so prior to final approval. Earlier this year, the company addressed concerns over the projection of 22 new students in the school district. Forest City upped its projection, using the Rutgers Model, and now estimates an impact of 25 students and an additional eight private-school students. The developer, as part of a 20-year PILOT agreement, will pay $17,500 per public school student and $5,200 per private-school student for busing. There is a “look back” provision in the PILOT, which says after 10 years there will be an audit of actual students and an adjustment in payments as needed.

The city anticipates $11 million in direct revenue from the deal, with an additional $7 million in indirect revenues such as sales tax. Forest City will also float the bill for the environmental remediation at the site. Still, some residents aren’t satisfied. Forest City recently upped the number of two-bedroom units in its proposal from 77 to 100. City resident James O’Toole said the numbers compared with the projected impact on the schools didn’t match up. “I’ve never seen a project like this in this city,” he said. “We’re going to give the house away again.” Byron Gray, president of the New Rochelle firefighters union, said the proposal didn’t accurately analyze the effect on the fire department whose ranks have been diminished by cuts in recent years. The lively public hearing and some highprofile detractors, haven’t dampened Forest City’s interest in Echo Bay, according to company senior vice president Abe Naparstek. “We’re still really excited about the project and we’re moving forward with it,” he said. Some more changes may be forthcoming, not necessarily as a result of the public comments, but due to discussions with elected officials, Naparstek said. For instance, the city is seeking assurances that the apartments won’t be rented in bulk to undergraduate college students, a concern for some residents in the area. The City Council is expected to vote before year’s end on accepting the company’s final environmental impact statement and several other procedural items. The project will need site plan approval from the New Rochelle Planning Board and approvals of its tax inducements from the city’s Industrial Development Agency. Even once approval is given, construction can’t begin until New Rochelle is able to move its city yard to a new location. Still, Forest City is optimistic the project is only 15 to 18 months from breaking ground.

companies with changes in net employment after the first year of a project is misleading. IDA advocates have argued that job growth typically ramps up over the life of a project while financial assistance is often provided before the start of a project to spur business investment. “IDA officials also claim that it is important to measure the success of a project over time,” Kidera noted. In Westchester, the Peekskill and Port Chester IDAs each reported one company project still active since 2008. The Peekskill company’s project created one job as promised and received tax exemptions valued at approximately $1.53 million. In Port Chester, a project that received $17,756 in tax exemptions created 25 fewer jobs than the 50 promised in 2008. The Yonkers IDA reported two still-active

projects last year that in 2008 were approved for tax exemptions valued at about $1.03 million. Those companies employed a total of 14 workers last year, two more than their projected job creation numbers at the start of the projects. The Westchester County IDA in 2012 had two business investment projects still active after five years. The companies’ combined employment numbers fell 59 jobs short of the 460 jobs they were projected to create in 2008. Enforcing so-called clawback provisions in its agreements with companies, the Westchester County IDA recaptured $389,573 in sales tax exemptions from Nokia Corp. in 2012, when the company closed its regional office on the Platinum Mile in Harrison as part of a global consolidation. The IDA approved financial incentives for the Finnish mobile-phone company during

its $30 million renovation project at 102 Corporate Park Drive in 2006. Nokia’s agreement with the IDA required it to employ 225 workers in Harrison in 2012. Other counties in the lower Hudson Valley region showed greater job-creation failures by IDA-backed companies in the last five years. In Orange County, six companies that received a combined total of about $3.28 million in tax breaks from the Orange County IDA were expected to create 504 jobs. Instead, by 2012 they had 209 fewer full-time positions than at the start of their projects, a difference of 713 jobs between what was promised and actual employment. The Rockland County IDA in 2008 backed six projects with tax exemptions valued at $748,364. By 2012 those companies had added eight jobs, after pledging to create 183 positions.

Robert Cox, who runs the New Rochelle blog Talk of the Sound, said the 5 acres of parkland would be on a mud flat near a sewage treatment facility, not the most ideal kayaking site. “It’s a fantastical notion that this is going to turn into an oasis down there,” he said. “I just don’t really see that the endgame has really been thought through and I don’t think we’re going to be getting what’s in these pictures.” Cox was among more than 50 residents who spoke at a four-hour public hearing July 23 on the development, where emotions ran high and a vocal group of opposition called for the City Council to reject Forest City’s proposal and open a new bidding process. Beth Acocella, president of the East End Civic Association, said the original vision of the project was to bring in a number of retail stores, with marquee names such as Coach or Gucci possibly setting up shop in New Rochelle. The pared-back project hopes to bring in a restaurant and dry cleaner. “Your renderings look great, they really do,” she said, “but this is not the right project for this area.” Acocella said when her association held a meeting to discuss the proposal, more than 200 people showed up. The development was conceived in 2006 as a $450-million, 26-acre project that would include 710 residences, 150,000 square feet of retail and two 150-room hotels. The original proposal called for knocking down the armory and replacing it with a community center, a move that drew protests from veterans and other city residents who wanted the building preserved. The development plans lost steam in late 2008, just as the worst of the economic recession was taking hold. When the project re-emerged in 2010, it was in a new, more tentative market, and Forest City modified its plan to more centrally focus on the site of

of up-front pain for significant long-term gain? It might be the pain of going to the gym in return for a lifetime of good health or replacing a profitable product or service with something better in order to stay a leader in your industry. As a business, it often appears to be against your perceived best interests to act. If accounting firms, the airlines, mortgage originators, real estate workers, banks and

brokerage firms selling collateralized debt obligations had been proactive, they would have damaged their short-term revenue and profits in the process. When disasters occur, hindsight is always 20/20. But only foresight will keep predictable events from turning into disasters.

hould everyone have seen them coming? Would you have been in favor of higher airline prices and longer airport waits if imposed before 9/11? How about a small decline in the resale value of your home prior to 2008? The truth is that people are generally unwilling to accept short-term costs and inconvenience for vague, long-term benefits. This problem plagues every business. What made Enron and similar financial scandals so predictable in 2002 was the growing lack of auditor independence. Consulting revenues and profit margins in the major accounting firms were growing at twice the rate of those for audits. SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt proposed significant reforms long before the collapse of Enron, Global Crossings and WorldCom, but he was stonewalled by our political system. Fast forward to 2008 and we see criticism of the “big three” credit rating agencies, Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch. Historically they gave investors an unbiased assessment of investments and investors paid for reports. In the 1970s, agencies started charging the issuers fees for ratings. Legislators, supposedly “fearing a proliferation of unscrupulous ratings agencies,” designated Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch as the only organizations banks and brokers could use. Why do these painful events continue to happen? Special interest groups play a key role. The airlines opposed both the cost and inconvenience of tightening security long before 9/11 and the accounting industry lobbied SEC Chairman Levitt’s proposed reforms before the financial meltdown of 2002. This always works because politicians yield to the money and votes in order to stay in office. This isn’t cynicism, simply a fact. Did it help the airline industry to oppose stronger security measures, the auditing industry to oppose the Levitt reforms or to allow the credit rating industry to give their customers a break by no longer charging them a few bucks for an unbiased report? Why didn’t the customer demand to be the one paying for the report? Are we quick to accept a small short-term gain and trade it for the certainty of long-term pain? Ironically, in each case, the lobbying was at the center of the many causes of what we can now see as disasters in the making. According to “Predictable Surprises” authors Max Bazerman and Michael Watkins, “The warning signs were there, as they always are for predictable surprises. But people in responsible positions ignored or glossed over the signs.” Are you willing to trade a small amount

The Westchester County Board of Legislators approved a county sales tax exemption for solar energy systems installed in commercial buildings. The unanimously approved law broadens the county sales tax exemption for residential solar equipment first approved in 2007 by legislators and renewed in 2011. The new law, which requires the signature of County Executive Robert P. Astorino to take effect, will cover all new solar equipment installations in the county. “The best way to support solar-based business is to make installations more economically viable,” Legislator Catherine Borgia, the Ossining Democrat who proposed the legislation, said in a press release. “Having accomplished this for county residents, it made perfect sense to extend this financial benefit to county business owners and commercial enterprises as well. Borgia said the bill “supports the county’s green economy and creates new jobs, provides opportunities for Westchester businesses to see long-term savings on energy costs and reduces greenhouse gases caused during the production of electricity.” The incentive program is projected to cost the county about $40,000 per year in lost sales tax revenue. The average savings to each Westchester business converting to a solar energy system will be more than $1,000, according to county officials.

Businesses, nonprofits and governments in Westchester could get up to $60,000 off their purchases of battery-electric commercial vehicles under a new state program recently announced by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority this month rolled out the state’s $19 million Truck Voucher Incentive Program to encourage purchases of energy-efficient transportation. The program includes a $9 million voucher fund for purchases of battery-electric trucks and buses in Westchester and 29 other counties – including Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess and Orange in the lower Hudson Valley – that do not meet federal clean air standards. Two alternative fuels and diesel retrofit voucher funds that total $10 million will be used only for New York City fleets.

In Westchester, the voucher program applies to battery-electric vehicles in classes 3 to 8, which include large pick-ups, delivery vans, box trucks, buses, tractortrailers, garbage trucks and construction vehicles such as cement and dump trucks. Electric equipment manufacturers approved for the program include AMP Trucks Inc., Boulder Electric Vehicle, Electric Vehicles International and Smith Electric Vehicles.

Fall start for Peekskill river project

Eastern Excavation Inc. in Elmsford will be general contractor on the first phase of the city of Peekskill’s waterfront redevelopment project set to start this fall. The Peekskill Common Council unanimously approved Eastern’s low bid of $2.55 million for the Scenic Hudson Park project at Peekskill Landing. A city spokesman said six contractors bid on the project, with a high bid of $4.3 million. As part of the city’s plan to connect all of its Hudson River shoreline parks and properties to encourage tourism, recreation and waterfront businesses, the Peekskill Landing project will include an elevated walkway, pedestrian bridge and trails for joggers, bikers and walkers.

IBM to begin furloughs this month

IBM Corp. is putting employees in its hardware sector on weeklong furloughs beginning late August. The world’s largest computer-service company is cutting expenses to preserve its profit margins as sales of products such as servers continue to decline. Sales of storage devices and microelectronics decreased 12 percent in the second quarter earnings report last year compared to this year. The direct effect of the furloughs on the Armonk-based IBM site is unknown. In the second quarter, the company spent $1 billion to restructure its workforce, including in Armonk, and expects to cut more than 3,300 jobs in the U.S. and Canada, said Alliance@IBM, an employee group. Analysts say that IBM has fewer ways of handling its portfolio and has seen a decline in competitive position across its industries. The company spent $3.6 billion on share repurchases last quarter and raised its forecast last month for 2013 profits to at least $16.90 a share, an increase from an estimated $16.70 before then. IBM plans to use its semiconductor technology to revamp the hardware units. The company plans to partner with Google Inc., Nvidia Corp, and other technology companies to license its microprocessor designs, according to recent reports. —John Golden, Crystal Kang

We can’t just wing it anymore Right now people have a “wing it” attitude. If there’s a problem, people jump to help, which is both good and bad, but some people say it feels like there’s a lack of clarity, who does what, no agreement on how things get done and no clear chain of command. There seems to be inadequate communication and a lack of responsibility or accountability. We need more structure in operations. Help!

Thoughts of the Day: Operations is the guts of the business. Putting process, job descriptions and accountabilities in place can help make things smoother. Figure out who heads up operations, preferably not the owner. Build a team to work on the best way to handle routine workload as well as exceptions. Make the routine clear enough so a new person could easily learn most of what they need to know from a

chart and backup descriptions. Operations is where everything comes together. Orders from customers have to get delivered on time, in budget. Lack of planning often creates a lot of problems in operations. Things run smoother when everyone in the company takes the time to talk about workflow, defining what’s routine and what needs special handling. Departments need to layout/diagram how work flows through their department and if they work on a variety of things, which typically happens, ask them to make multiple diagrams. Look for interruptions and exceptions in the work flow drawing. Don’t try to define everything, you can’t solve all the company’s problems overnight, and you shouldn’t try to. Instead indicate where someone goes to get clarification if things don’t go according to plan. Ask everyone in operations to submit a list of the things they do daily, weekly, monthly. If two people do the same job, ask both to submit their lists. You’d be surprised how many differences there may be as one person remembers one thing, another something else.

by andi gray

Ask managers to review the lists and then compile the lists into job descriptions. You can also look online for standard job descriptions and salary ranges to help move the process along. Make sure that each job description includes a list of accountabilities. These are the standards to which people are expected to deliver. What is most important in your organization? Is it speed, accuracy, price cuts, whatever the customer needs? You need to clarify your expectations, and document them. Ensure employee responsibility by distributing the job expectations and discussing. If there are grey areas, try your best to clear them up and make your expectations concrete. Assign someone to be in charge of operations. It’s best if this is a person is available throughout the day to field questions, deal with obstacles and generally oversee and assist people. Make it clear to everyone that this person is in charge and has your full support. If you’re like most business owners, when there’s a problem in operations you stand ready to step in and head it off or deal direct-

ly with the person who caused the problem. Build a chain of command and support them in their decisions, resist temptation to do it all yourself. Start with the manager in charge, making sure they’re aware there’s a problem. Give them time to do some homework, if necessary, and ask for a report back to you. Use your time together to listen, provide direction and teach. Asking them to solve the problem allows your employees to take responsibility and prevents the issue from recurring. If there is a recurring problem, form a work group. Ask the group to tackle the problem and identify a more permanent solution. Resist the temptation to get involved directly, unless they ask for your input. The goal is to build a team that learns to solve problems without your involvement. Give everyone the goal of having a welldocumented, error-free operation. Each time a problem surfaces, treat it as an opportunity to strengthen your processes by fixing the hole that led to the occurrence. Check that instructions on how to do things are clearly Andi, page 13

Social Media: The Power of a Blog BY BOB KNIGHT

hen you think about a successful blog, names like The Huffington Post and Perez Hilton come to

mind. And it’s no wonder: with topics ranging from politics to celebrities, readers flock to these blogs for the same reasons that anyone stops to read anything. The posts are relevant, timely, actionable, short and graphically appealing. The key to a good blog is content. Say the word “content” and many companies struggle to figure out what that really means. How, they wonder, is content relevant to their brand or business? Usually, they wind up taking the path of least resistance and skip blogging. But by not blogging, you won’t enhance your online presence and that is a big mistake. Unlike Facebook and Twitter, blogs are weighted heavily by Google in organic searches and can improve your SEO pickup. Companies that blog 15 times a month or more get five times more traffic to their websites, according to Hubspot. And Google’s new Enhanced Search gives extra weight to fresh quality content – and a blog is an ideal way to do that. Why is the online search so important? In 2011, consumers consulted over 10 sources online before buying any-

thing. This doubled over 2010. (Google Zero Moment of Truth) Here’s a good example of the power of blogging. RTK Environmental Group, an environmental testing company with offices in White Plains, in conjunction with Harrison Edwards, accepted the challenge of creating and maintaining a blog. This has paid off in several ways. Today, nearly 60 percent of traffic to the RTK website, www.rtkenvironmental.com, is driven through organic and referral traffic from the blog, www.rtkenvironmental.com/blog. With more than 1,000 unique visitors monthly, RTK has become the go-to source for environmental and homeowner consumer information – not just in its service area in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut but throughout the country. RTK has never been hesitant to leverage technology for its business, notes Robert Weitz, managing principal of RTK. “We’ve always emphasized using technology to make field inspections and testing more efficient. Creating relevant content on the RTK blog is proving to be another great way to profit digitally.” You may be wondering what a company that tests for mold, lead, asbestos and other environmental toxins could possibly write

about on a regular basis that would get attention, drive traffic and more important, clickthroughs to their main website. The answer is: information that can help consumers when they need it.

How, they wonder, is content relevant to their brand or business? Usually, they wind up taking the path of least resistance and skip blogging. But by not blogging, you won’t enhance your online presence and that is a big mistake. Using data from paid search (also known as “pay per click”) campaigns, optimizing terms, and monitoring current trends, Harrison Edwards carefully crafted a plan that included blogging about relevant, useful topics. For example, after Hurricane Sandy, consumers wanted to know how to deal with flooded basements to prevent mold growth. We responded quickly. And, when the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention lowered the “acceptable” level of measuring for lead contaminants in the blood, RTK explained the implications to parents on its blog what this meant with respect to lead-poisoning. Safety, too, is a main focus on this blog. We offer tips on everything from renovation and hurricane preparation to allergies and medical conditions caused by environmental hazards. So before you dismiss the idea of starting a blog for your company, think about what it could do for your bottom line. Spend time and do the research to find out what would be most meaningful to your customers. In most instances, content should be left to professionals who can tailor content and react quickly to the public’s interests. A thorough understanding of search engine optimization is essential, too. Then watch traffic to your website and sales will follow. Bob Knight is executive vice president of Harrison Edwards PR & Marketing, an award-winning public relations and digital agency based in Bedford Hills.

cAsino rEfinAncE DEAL is city’s Boon

A $325-million debt refinancing by Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway will bring the city of Yonkers $3.673 million in revenue, city officials announced. Taking advantage of current low interest rates, Empire City is refinancing its overall debt, including its most recent $40 million expansion, which includes a modern 35,000 square-foot gaming floor and two new restaurants at the Yonkers Avenue harness race track and video gambling casino. The expansion created 100 construction jobs and 200 permanent casino jobs. The Yonkers Industrial Development Agency will receive the city’s payments from Empire City as part of the refinancing package approved by the IDA board last week. Empire City Casino will pay $523,000 in previously negotiated sales tax reimbursements, $3 million in additional payments to the city’s general fund over two years, $500,000 to the Yonkers IDA for economic development efforts and up to $150,000 in materials or cash for improvements to the Coyne Park Senior

and Community Center near the casino. The IDA approved a mortgage recording tax exemption for Empire City valued at $1.575 million. Mayor Mike spano, who also serves as chairman of the Yonkers IDA board, called the agreement with Empire City “a great deal for Yonkers taxpayers. The city is actually getting more money than if we had done nothing at all” and instead collected mortgage tax payments from the refinancing. “By refinancing, Empire City is going to be in a better position for future expansions, which will bring more jobs and expand the city’s tax base,” Spano said in a press release. Tim rooney Jr., general counsel at Empire City, said it is the city’s largest private employer with nearly 1,400 employees representing 14 unions.

will let go of Patch’s CEO, Steve Kalin, and Rachel Feddersen, the chief content officer. Patch creative director Abel Lenz was apparently fired by AOL CEO Tim Armstrong during a conference call discussing the coming changes, according to journalism and media blogger Jim Romenesko. Lenz was said to have tried to snap a photo of Armstrong during the call. Armstrong founded Patch in 2007 when he said he noticed a vacuum of local coverage concerning his hometown of Riverside, Conn. In 2009, Patch was purchased by AOL and Armstrong was named the company’s CEO. With the backing of AOL, Patch grew to having 750 sites by 2010, but it cost AOL $160 million a year by 2011, according to The Wall Street Journal. Advertising revenues to sustain the business model were difficult to come by, and Armstrong said the goal of AOL was to make Patch profitable by the end of 2013. It is unclear which local Patch sites, if any, will be affected. Patch operates 17 sites covering Westchester County and an additional 18 covering Fairfield County. AOL’s second-quarter earnings report, released this month, noted $541.3 million in revenue, up 2 percent over the same period in 2012. The slight increase translates into 35 cents earnings per share, according to analysts. The company announced in its earnings report that it would acquire Adap.tv, a video advertising company, for $405 million.

County’s Bee-Line to renew bus contract

The Federal Transit Administration has mandated that Westchester County issue a request for proposals to run its Bee-Line Bus system. Liberty Lines Transit Inc. currently operates the bus line, but its contract expires this year. The county originally did not put the operation of its bus line out to bid, because it believed Liberty Lines has certain rights to compensation if its contract isn’t approved. The county offered an option for the operator to manage the Bee-Line system through a bridge contract for up to one year. The FTA signed off the bridge contract, which is valid for six months with the option to renew for another six months. The county’s Bee-Line will use its $13 million in federal funding next year to

ensure bus fare costs are fair, said County Executive Robert P. Astorino. “Price and service are the core of any Bee-Line bus contract, and we now have a foundation for both,” Astorino said in a written statement. “The request for proposals process will keep costs down and federal aid in place. The bridge contract provides insurance against the interruption in the quality of service. The goal we are working toward is to protect both riders and taxpayers.” The county and Liberty Lines share a public-private partnership, which allows the county to set fares and determine the routes. Liberty Lines hires its own employees and receives government funding to keep bus fare prices low. The county will submit its RFP and the bidding will last from early September to December. The goal is to sign a five-year agreement with the designated contractor.

Cuomo passes fuel tax law

Gov. Andrew Cuomo passed a new fuel tax law that aims to improve the cash flow for petroleum distributors. The law will benefit small business operators selling heating oil and highway diesel motor fuels by letting them pay their fuel taxes later, Cuomo said. Petroleum distributors usually buy their supplies in bulk and store them at New-York based fuel terminals for months before they are distributed. In the past, distributors had to pay the fuel taxes up front, but now they can pay fuel taxes once the supplies are loaded onto fuel trucks and removed from the storage terminal. “Before, the distributor had to pre-pay all that tax upfront, but couldn’t collect it until a sale was made, which might be many months down the road,” said Thomas J. Peters, CEO of the Empire State Petroleum Association (ESPA), in a written statement. “It’s a question of improving a business’s cash position – and this is a cash flow victory.” ESPA, a trade association representing 300 petroleum marketers in New York, estimated that petroleum marketers supply 2.6 million households in New York with heating oil service and provide gas and diesel fuel for 8.4 million registered automobiles and 1.3 million trucks and buses statewide. – John Golden, Crystal Kang, Mark Lungariello

The new social order

Financial advice in a phone-and-tablet world By Bill Fallon bfallon@westfairinc.com

he Securities and Exchange Commission recently eased regulations regarding the use of social media in investing. The Business Journal put relevant questions to Jennifer Openshaw, president of Greenwich-based Finect, which seeks to navigate social media for investors.

What are some investor trends in social media? “We’re not using the Internet and social media just to decide what restaurant to visit or to buy a pair of shoes. We’re in a digital world, and that means investors are now turning to social media to make decisions – whether it’s for a financial advisor, a college savings fund, or an investment product. So whether you’re an investor or a financial professional of any type – financial advisor, wealth manager – you’ll want to take notice. Nearly 70 percent of wealthy investors have reallocated investments, or began or altered relationships with investment providers, based on content found through social media, according to Cogent Research. And these investors want to be connecting with their advisers through social media. While only 4 percent of investors using a financial adviser currently interact with them through social media, a whopping 52 percent would like to. That means giving them updates, tips, even having a live exchange online, perhaps in a group forum. The next generation of young millionaires – those ages 44 and younger –are four times more likely to express interest in a blog or tweets from their adviser than older investors, and nearly six times more likely to say they’d like their adviser to be on Facebook. The world is changing and it’s driven largely by the next generation and the use of cell phones, iPads, and social media.”

Will social media change the industry? If so, how? “There’s no question change is here. You can’t attend an event in the financial industry without a robust conversation about social media. How can we use it? How can we track employees? How can we do it simply and in a unified way?

We’ve spoken to about 200 financial advisers and asset managers and heard them say, “We need to do something” with social, but the existing platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter weren’t developed for their needs, especially given the regulatory rules they work under. That’s why industry leaders, such as the former head of compliance for Fidelity International, helped start my company, Finect. It was designed to provide the industry a simple yet compliant social media platform – a way to use the various social channels in a unified way. Enabling the industry to use social media will have significant impact. For financial institutions, it means you can now share a broad range of information such as research, thought leadership, corporate news or product information. And not with a few, but with thousands, even millions. It also means you can target and reach the right audience more effectively. Social media is also enabling smaller firms to compete with the big boys. That’s partly because the smaller firms have managers with broader powers of decision-making, such as whether or not to use social media or what their social media policy might include. For investors, there are two important trends. The first is that they will have more access to information. This levels the playing field and gives them more of a leg-up on investment opportunities that were maybe previously accessible to more closed networks. On the flip side, however, investors could be misled into the wrong financial products. That’s where we need to be careful, and where I’d like the SEC to bring focus. I was in a meeting with a prominent fund company and one person asked: Do we really want to be on social media? They were afraid of disgruntled investors or customers who might tarnish their brand. But the chief marketing officer said, It’s happening anyway; better that we show our brand by engaging them – in a safe and compliant way – rather than ignoring them.”

Why is the financial industry late to social media? “Three main reasons. The first is that technology hadn’t yet evolved. But now we see its power through LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.

The second is compliance. It’s a big, timeconsuming hurdle in this industry. Financial professionals must abide by rules that now require them to decide who at their firm may write content or where such content should shared; dealing with endorsements and testimonials; archiving online content, and more. It can be mindboggling. And it’s particularly challenging if you have multiple employees: Would you ever want your employees out on those social media channels and not be able to manage them in some unified way? Those are the challenges that have held the industry back.”

How is social media changing investing? “Everything is in real-time and there’s access to more information, including information from financial professionals. One of the features Finect offers is “Pros on Products,” the ability to “follow” a stock or mutual fund. You might do this because you hold the investment or you’re considering it. You’ll then be able to get real-time news, Tweets, and insights from peers that are all specific to that investment. It’s all in a single location, so it’s easy.”

How does the SEC’s approval of social media for corporate financial news help and hurt investors? “The SEC’s recent move to allow companies to post corporate financial news on Facebook and other channels is just another indicator of the power of social media. When you think about it, some of these social channels are far more “public” than their old-fashioned predecessors, such as a press release posted through the newswires or on a website. So, I think this is better. In the past, it was frustrating that you had to be educated about where to go to get information on your investments or specific companies. Now it’s easier.”

The “truth” filters on social media can be absent and stories of false information going mainstream are numerous. Do investors now need fact-checkers? “That is indeed a danger and my greatest concern. Investors need to be extra careful that they’re talking to credible experts who

Jennifer Openshaw

are saying things that are appropriate and suitable. That’s why I’ve called for the SEC to track information online, to look for trends and to try to catch “bad actors.” That’s also why I think a company like Finect is so important – because it provides a place where investors can connect with financial professionals, get to know them, and see details about their businesses and how they operate. That doesn’t happen at Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter; they were built for other, more general purposes. On the flip side, investors can also find negative information about a firm or advisor more easily through social media – if they indeed attempt to search. “ Jennifer Openshaw is president of Finect (finect.com), billed as “the simple, compliant social media platform for the financial services industry.” She previously served in the California state treasurer’s office and was founder and CEO of Women’s Financial Network, now part of Siebert Financial. She is the author of “The Millionaire Zone” (Hyperion) and a columnist for The Wall Street Journal’s MarketWatch. WCBJ • August 19, 2013

INBRIEF

citigroup LAyoffs to AffEct 36 in WEstchEstEr

Citigroup Inc. will lay off 36 workers in Westchester County starting in November. The company filed a notice with the state Department of Labor last week about layoffs at 188 King St. in Armonk. The Armonk division serves as a conference and training center operated by 36 employees, a site manager and a small technology staff. After the layoffs, only the site manager and technology staff will remain. Citigroup employs 21,000 people in its New York offices. “We announced in early August to 36 employees at our conference and training center in Armonk that their jobs would be eliminated in November,” said Citigroup spokesperson Janis Tarter. “This decision is related to the repositioning actions Citi

announced in December 2012 and will help us improve our efficiency and cost effectiveness while maintaining our high levels of service. We are helping these employees to explore other open positions within and outside of Citi.” Citigroup’s second quarter earnings report showed an increase in net income from $2.9 billion last year to $4.2 billion this year in the same period. The upswing in the company’s earnings per share was driven by higher revenues and lower net credit losses, Citigroup reported.

on the number of fans and followers, frequency of posting new content and the type of content distributed on their social media platforms. Melesko, a Vernon resident, earned her bachelor’s degree from Central Connecticut State University and volunteers in the community as a DJ for fundraisers. She served on the board for the Wallingford Emergency Shelter and made public speeches about social media throughout Connecticut.

cMs BAncorp shArEs up $150,000 froM LAst yEAr

CMS Bancorp Inc., headquartered in White Plains, reported a $150,000 increase in net gains from last year to the same period this year, the company’s second quarter earnings report showed. The net income available this year is $792,000 compared to a net loss of $390,000 last year. “The earnings improvement was due to the continued growth and diversification in the loan portfolio, lower interest costs, lower provisions for loan losses and cost containment measures undertaken by the bank’s management,” President and

CEO John Ritacco said in a statement. In the third quarter last year, CMS Bancorp reported continued growth and diversity in its loan portfolio mix in the multi-family, non-residential and commercial divisions. The loan portfolio grew by 4 percent from $201.5 million at the end of the third quarter last year to $209.5 million in the second quarter this year. Despite the $8 million increase in loan portfolio, the company experienced a $3.6 million decline in impaired loans, $4.6 million drop in substandard loans and a $2.3 million dip in non-accrual loans. “We were able to increase our net interest income by maximizing the yield on interest earning assets, to the extent possible, and minimizing the cost of our interest bearing liabilities through the consistent oversight of our liquidity and cash flow position,” Ritacco said. “Improving economic trends, although generally still slow, have enabled the Bank to moderate its provisions for loan losses and our non-interest expense has been held in check by the company’s non-interest expense cost containment programs.”

Avoiding 401(k) traps for employers By Eric Meermann

well-executed 401(k) plan can be a valuable tool for recruiting and retaining talented employees. But small business owners should also understand their legal obligations if they decide to offer 401(k)s. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) requires employers to meet certain requirements as 401(k) plan providers. Ignoring or neglecting the rules can lead to a plan being disqualified – as well as fines and unhappy employees. What are some of the most common areas that employers run into trouble? Fees – The law requires plan fees to be “reasonable.” Though there is no specified level for reasonable fees, it makes sense to compare estimates from different providers when selecting a plan and to track fee levels over time. Compare the level of service provided with the cost. Small employers are often stuck with higher fees because they don’t have the leverage to negotiate effectively, but that doesn’t mean you can’t shop around for a better deal. Additionally, the plan document must be clear about who pays

the fees (the plan, the employer or both). Fund Offerings – Plan sponsors have a responsibility to ensure the plan offers an appropriately diverse menu of funds, and that the plan’s default option is a reasonable choice for the average participant. The default percentage withdrawn from paychecks should neither be too large nor unrealistically small. Eligible Employees – All eligible employees must be notified of certain benefits, rights and features. You cannot exclude employees from the plan without cause. Typically, only employees under 21 or who have worked for the company less than a year may be excluded. (Some other exclusions are permitted, but take care they are legal.) If your plan does not include automatic enrollment, make sure that employee notifications are documented. Participant Information – All participants must receive a summary plan description, which details how the 401(k) plan operates. If the plan allows participants to direct their own investments, the plan sponsor or the sponsor’s agent must also provide fee and expense information about investments in the plan. Highly Compensated Employees – Employees making more than $115,000 per

year, as well as the business owner and his or her immediately family, must be compared as a group to all other employees. The highly compensated employees (HCEs) cannot defer an average of more than 2 percent over what the non-HCE group defers. Additionally, the owners and his or her immediate family, plus any corporate officers earning more than $165,000, must collectively hold less than 60 percent of the plan’s total value. Matching Contributions – Annually, employers cannot contribute more than the lesser of 100 percent of an employee’s compensation or a set maximum amount for combined employee and employer contributions ($51,000 in 2013). Vesting – While employee contributions are automatically 100 percent vested, you can choose whether employer contributions vest over time, according to a vesting schedule. If you do so, make sure the vesting schedule is explicit and clear to participants. (However, in a safe harbor 401(k) plan, employer contributions must vest completely and immediately.) Prompt Deposits – For plans with fewer than 100 participants, contributions withdrawn from a participant’s salary must be

deposited with the plan no later than the seventh business day following withholding. The plan must designate a fiduciary (typically the trustee) to ensure withholdings and employer matching contributions, if any, are successfully transmitted. Documentation – Plan administrators must show that they acted prudently and solely in the interest of the plan participants and beneficiaries. The best way to do this is to document the decision-making process at the time any decision is made. Insurance – Generally, anyone handling plan funds or property will need to be covered by a fidelity bond. This protects the 401(k) plan against fraud or dishonesty from a particular individual. Loans – If plan participants take loans from their 401(k) accounts, you must be sure that loan payments start on time and continue until the loan in fully paid. Otherwise, the participant is stuck with a tax liability. Eric Meermann is a client service manager and portfolio manager with Palisades Hudson Financial Group in Scarsdale.

WESTMED DOCS GET NATIONAL RECOGNITION

NEW VP AT ST. JOHN’S HOSPITAL

THE PEOPLE’S UNITED COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, the philanthropic arm of People’s United Bank, awarded the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester a $4,000 grant.
