Barges vs. vistas on the Hudson OPPONENTS WANT TO SINK COAST GUARD ANCHORAGE PLAN BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

he U.S. Coast Guard is considering new anchorages along a 109-mile stretch of the Hudson River where tugs and barges could wait out storms or wait for a high tide. That’s not going over well in river towns that have invested heavily in revitalizing their waterfronts or among environmentalists who fear more pollution. The Coast Guard has posted a proposed rule that would create 10 anchorages from Yonkers to Kingston. They would encompass more than 2,000 acres and accommodate 43 vessels up to

600 feet long. American Waterways Operators, Hudson River Pilots Association and the tug and barge committee of the Maritime Association of the Port of New York and New Jersey proposed the rule. The problem, as the maritime interests see it, is that there isn’t enough space to safely park tug boats, barges and other large vessels during emergencies and adverse conditions. Traffic has increased dramatically in the last few years, the Maritime Association said in a January letter to the Coast Guard, and is expected to continue » BARGES, page 6

From Olympic medalists, Uncle Sam wants his share FEDERAL AND STATE BILLS WOULD STAMP OUT TAX ON MEDALS AND CASH PRIZES

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

FOR OLYMPIC ATHLETES, A GOLD medal at this year’s summer games in Brazil could be the achievement of a lifetime. But

that first-place finish could cost them some serious cash in taxes once they arrive home. America’s Olympic medalists receive $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for second-place silver and $10,000 for third-place bronze

— money paid out by the U.S. Olympic Committee that is taxed by the Internal Revenue Service. Olympians in New York are also taxed by the state. In addition, the value of the gold and silver medals is also taxed. Legislation at both the state and federal levels would do away with this “victory tax,” as Sen. Charles Schumer describes it. New York’s senior Democratic senator has proposed a bill, co-sponsored by South Dakota Republican Sen. John Thune, that would make all Olympic medals tax-exempt.

The Senate passed the bill in July and Schumer is calling on the House of Representatives to do the same. If the law is enacted, U.S. Olympians and Paralympians would be allowed to exempt the value of medals from their taxable income as well as the cash prizes awarded by the national Olympic committee. The bill would have a negligible effect on federal revenue and would not affect taxes on any potential endorsement or sponsorship income earned by Olympic athletes, Schumer said.

Schumer, who played high school varsity basketball in Brooklyn, in a press release said most countries do more to subsidize their athletes than the U.S., so the “very least the U.S. can do” is save athletes from a tax hit. At the state level, Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican from Staten Island, told reporters this week she will introduce legislation in 2017 to exempt Olympic prize money from state taxes as well. “These Olympians bring much pride to our state and » OLYMPIANS, page 6

he former site of Frank’s Nursery & Crafts in the town of Greenburgh may finally see its long-awaited cleanup and redevelopment. Capitol Seniors Housing, the developer negotiating the $3.5 million purchase and sale agreement for the property, plans to construct a 101-unit senior housing facility on the vacant site, a use that is in line with existing zoning for the area. The developer presented initial plans at a town board work session earlier this month to build the three-story, 90,651-square-foot building on roughly 7 acres at 715 Dobbs Ferry Road. “We think that the use will fit very nicely into the Dobbs Ferry Road corridor,” said David Steinmetz of Zarin & Steinmetz, the White Plains law firm representing the developer. “We don’t believe it will create any adverse impacts.” The property was contaminated in 2001 by 500 gallons of carcinogenic No. 2 fuel oil and will need to undergo a roughly $1.5 million environmental cleanup before the residences can be built. Capitol has applied to include the cleanup and receive tax credits in the state's Brownfield Cleanup Program. “That is all part of the overall transaction, which will result in an environmental cleanup and remediation of the site, repurposing it, putting it back on the tax rolls, making it productive and bringing a wonderful new for-profit, tax-paying entity to the town,” Steinmetz said.

The senior housing will consist of 71 assisted living rooms, five of which will be at below-market rents, and 30 memory care units. Assisted living units will include studio, one- and two-bedroom floor plans ranging from 350 to 900 square feet, while studio and one-bedroom memory care units will range from 350 to 650 square feet. The development will also provide 67 parking spaces. “This application probably will be one of the least controversial applications in town history,” Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner said, adding that he doesn’t “know anyone who objects to the proposal.” Feiner said that neighbors who fought other applicants that had proposed redeveloping the site asked for an assisted living facility, which is permitted under current zoning by a special permit. In contrast to other senior housing proposals that have faced substantial pushback in Westchester County, Capitol’s proposal has seen virtually no opposition, Feiner said. He attributed this to the property’s location on a major road near public transportation, one that is not within a residential neighborhood. The nursery property was acquired by the town in a 2011 tax foreclosure. Greenburgh received offers from two developers of sport facilities for the property. Game On 365 LLC said it would put up $1.7 million for the lot and made a promise to pay the town $1.3 million over 13 years. Ardsley-based House of Sports offered $3.5 million in an all-cash deal. Both companies threatened lawsuits if the town chose either offer. The town then hired GA Keen Realty

Advisors in 2014 and an auction was scheduled for later that year. Ultimately, plans for the auction fell through after the firm received feedback from bidders who were hesitant to make any offers without knowing more information about the environmental cleanup costs. After receiving interest from four applicants, the town decided an assisted living facility was most desirable because it would not require rezoning. For Capitol, the site in Greenburgh was attractive because of the large number of residents in the surrounding area aged 45 to 64, a critical demographic metric for the company. “That’s our target audience,” Capitol’s development principal Joe McElwee said at the meeting. “Forty-five to 64-year-olds are making decisions for their 85-, 86-year-old parents.” McElwee added that housing values are high in Greenburgh, leading the developer to think those middle-aged children would be wealthy enough to support their aging parents if the need arose. Founded in 2003, Washington, D.C.based Capitol has acquired or developed more than 60 senior housing communities since its inception, including projects in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Representatives of Capitol said the senior housing facility will provide a residential use that bridges the gap between independent living and nursing care at about half the cost of a nursing home. The senior housing facility will provide residents with meals, exercise programs, personal care and transportation.

Yonkers eyes Manufacturing Communities status with alpha-En opening BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

new bill could help manufacturing communities like Yonkers get their hands on millions of federal funding dollars. U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand visited lithium metal producer alpha-En Corp.’s new manufacturing and research center at 28 Wells Ave. in Yonkers to promote the Made in America Manufacturing Communities Act. The bill would create a permanent program to designate certain regions of the country as Manufacturing Communities, giving them preferred consideration when applying for federal funding. According to Gillibrand, there is $1.3 billion in federal economic development funding available for manufacturing. Under existing legislation, 24 communities across the country are designated as manufacturing communities, including the city of Rochester and the Finger Lakes region in New York. That legislation is set to

expire at the end of this year, but Gillibrand aims to make the program permanent with this bill. There are no guarantees that Westchester County or Yonkers would be designated as manufacturing communities if the legislation passes. “We want to make sure that it is a fully authorized program and that it allows places across New York to continue to be able to apply to get this designation,” Gillibrand said. To earn the designation, communities must demonstrate the significance that manufacturing has on their region, along with making investments in areas such as workforce training, advanced research and infrastructure development. “Not only does that unleash more federal dollars, but it also creates synergies to encourage other manufacturers to locate there and that would create jobs locally,” New York’s junior Democratic senator said. The bipartisan bill’s Senate co-sponsors include U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut Democrat. A bipartisan

House version also has been introduced. Gillibrand said she hopes to the legislation will pass the Senate if not this fall when it returns to session, then by the end of the year. Gillibrand said that alpha-En’s decision to open an advanced manufacturing space in Yonkers will be a “model for businesses all over the country who might be interested in coming here to open up businesses and might not be sure if Yonkers is the place to do it.” “This shows us that Yonkers is an ideal place to open up a manufacturing business, and I look forward to seeing many more like it in Yonkers and the rest of Westchester,” she said. Founded in 2008, alpha-En develops sustainable technologies to produce lithium metal for batteries and the nuclear power industry. In 2013, the company developed a process to produce high-purity lithium metal, which is traditionally produced at very high temperatures, at room temperature. This new process allows the company to substantially reduce production costs and carbon emissions. Founder and CFO Jerome I. Feldman said the products manufactured at its new headquarters will “be the future of the energy world.” Formerly based in Tarrytown, the company plans to move its entire operation and global headquarters to the Yonkers facility, which should be operational by the end of this year, according to Emilie Bodoin, the company’s director of business development. Alpha-En’s facility is on the second floor of the 28 Wells Ave. building at iPark Hudson, the 24-acre technology, manufacturing and office campus on the downtown Yonkers waterfront district that was formerly the site of Otis Elevator Co. The 8,000-square-foot space, which boasts 25-foot ceilings, will be designed with hightech clean rooms for the laboratory and processing equipment along with executive office space for the company’s international operations. “We hope to remain here in Yonkers for as long as we can,” Feldman said. Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano said the city has seen a resurgence over the last decade, with more than $1 billion invested in the its economic redevelopment. “We have enormous potential as a home for manufacturing,” he said, noting the presence of employers such as Domino Sugar at 1 Federal St. and Kawasaki Rail Car Inc. at 29 Wells Ave. “I know that many people outside of Yonkers might not think of Yonkers as a high-tech manufacturing hub, but wait and see,” Gillibrand said. “We have one of the most diverse and talented workforces in the entire country and that makes us perfectly suited for an economic development boom.”

Manufacturing universities SEN. KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND HAS ALSO cosponsored legislation to help universities emphasize manufacturing in their engineering programs. The bill passed in the Senate in June as part of the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act. The House did not include the provisions in its defense bill. The language could still be incorporated in the final bill produced by the conference committee and sent to the president.

The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation advocated the “manufacturing universities” concept in a 2013 paper as a way to strengthen the nation’s manufacturing position in the global economy. Robert D. Atkinson and Stephen Ezell called for a greater emphasis on connecting scientific discoveries to practical applications and on providing engineering students with real-world

work experiences. They recommended that the National Science Foundation make awards to twenty universities of at least $25 million a year each. The University of Connecticut, University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology and the State University of New York System were among the universities that endorsed the Senate bill. —Bill Heltzel

increasing. But there is only one designated anchorage between Yonkers and the Port of Albany, at Hyde Park, with room for only three vessels. Depths in parts of the Hudson have narrowed because of irregular dredging, so deep vessels must await high tide. The conditions create a logistical nightmare, especially during severe weather. “When a tug and barge hit a situation, which happens rather frequently — with the fog and thunderclouds forming and ice in the water and low tide — they need places to anchor,” said Edward J. Kelly, executive director of the Maritime Association. Now they park in the same places proposed in the rule. “These are places we know are safe and protected,” Kelly said. “They’ve been used for centuries, as a customary and common practice. All we want to do is formalize them and call them anchorages.” Last year, however, the Coast Guard issued a safety bulletin to operators of commercial vessels reminding them that, “except in cases of great emergency,” they may anchor only in approved anchorages. Flouting the regulation could result in a $40,000 penalty. The industry casts its proposal as a safe and environmentally sound way to move products as trade volumes increase. Barges and tugs use far less fuel and pollute significantly less than trucks. Barges are doublehulled, so they are unlikely to leak. Crew members must undergo extensive federal background checks. Vessels typically pull aside for a few hours until conditions improve. Shipping companies, Kelly said, don’t make money when they park. The Hudson has been a battleground for centuries between industry and recre-

ation, the economy and the environment, practicality and aesthetics. The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 made it easier to move freight to the East Coast from frontier towns like Chicago, making New York one the nation’s most vital ports. Today, oil and gas from North Dakota and Pennsylvania travel downriver to refineries. Home heating oil, fuel for power plants, aviation fuel and gasoline move upriver to customers. Sand, salt, aggregate for roadbeds, cement and construction materials are delivered to major industries. “Basically,” Kelly said, “it’s anything that is overweight or oversized that doesn’t readily fit on rail cars or trucks.” When they need to park, they just drop anchor. There is no need for infrastructure – no wharves, piers or docks — just a safe spot outside the channel. But the Hudson is more than a means of transportation. Around the same time as the opening of the Erie Canal, the river inspired the Hudson River School. Artists depicted the beauty of the river and mountains in idyllic landscapes where people and nature coexisted peacefully. The Erie Canal’s success made river towns like Poughkeepsie and Newburgh ideal places for factories. Factories dumped toxic wastes into the river, raising concerns about fisheries and drinking water. As manufacturing on the river declined and factories closed, towns revitalized their waterfronts with marinas and residential developments that prize pristine river vistas. So to some people living along the river, huge barges parked offshore do not seem benign. And along with elected officials, the Business Council of Westchester has joined the mounting opposition to the Coast Guard proposal. “This proposal to locate what amounts

nation and they should be celebrated not taxed for their achievements,” Malliotakis said. “Most of them do not get endorsement deals but instead survive on small stipends and sacrifice much to compete in the games.” New York sent 30 athletes to the Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the fifth most behind California (124 athletes), Florida (39 athletes), Texas (33 athletes) and Pennsylvania (31 athletes), according to a database by NPR. Seven Olympians hail from Connecticut cities and towns, including four from Bridgeport, New Canaan, Norwalk and Stamford in Fairfield County.

Five New Yorkers had won medals in Rio as of Aug. 15, according to the press release from Malliotakis. Meghan Musnicki from Naples and Emily Regan from Buffalo both won gold in rowing. Several athletes, such as Carmelo Anthony on the men’s basketball team and New Yorker Sue Bird, the former University of Connecticut star on the women’s basketball team, are still competing for medals before the close of the 16-day Summer Games on Aug. 21.

to floating parking lots along the riverfront is a slap in the face to communities such as Yonkers, Dobbs Ferry, Peekskill and others that have made substantial gains attracting new businesses, tourism and development to the waterfront in Westchester,” Business Council of Westchester President and CEO Marsha Gordon said in a statement on Wednesday announcing the business group’s stand on the proposal. Residents near Port Ewen, near Kingston, have complained about “stadium lighting” and noisy generators on barges that anchor through the night, according to the Environmental Litigation Clinic at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University. When a vessel drops anchor, heavy ground tackle gouges the riverbed. Scenic Hudson, an environmental group based in Poughkeepsie, said in a letter opposing the proposed rule that the damage could disrupt spawning grounds for fish, including Atlantic sturgeon and shortnosed sturgeon that are classified as endangered species. The organization also worries about the risk of spills on vessels transporting crude oil and refined petroleum products. The greatest impact could be in Yonkers, where more than $1 billion has been invested in developments that are planned or underway near the waterfront. The Yonkers Hub would be the biggest anchorage ground, running from JFK Marina Park north to Dobbs Ferry. It would encompass 715 acres in the middle of the river, allow 16 vessels and provide a swing radius of 1,200 feet. It is also called the Yonkers Extension, as a continuation of an anchorage that runs between the George Washington Bridge and JFK Marina Park. Spoiling the views, Mayor Mike Spano said in a letter to the Coast Guard, could discourage developers from investing in waterfront projects, lower property values and

reduce the public’s enjoyment of the river. Spano also thinks the anchorage would be used to hold barges to await favorable price changes on commodity markets. “Our pristine Hudson River will be turned into a floating fuel pipeline,” he wrote. Peter Swiderski, mayor of Hastings-onHudson at the northern end of the Yonkers Hub, called the proposal pernicious and horrifying in a letter to residents. “We lose a remarkable view. Boaters would need to thread around these giants. And we may lose quite a bit more if there is an accident or spill,” he wrote. Proponents and opponents of the rule have until Sept. 7 to formally comment to the Coast Guard. As of Aug. 17, more than 1,100 comments had been posted on Regulations.gov. The Coast Guard will analyze the comments. It could revise the proposed rule, hold public hearings and undertake an environmental impact study. A final rule could be proposed in about two years, according to Chief Warrant Officer Allyson Conroy. Ultimately, authority to establish anchorages goes to Rear Admiral Steven Poulin, commander of the First Coast Guard District in Boston. “Coast Guard policy must not be driven by aesthetics but by safe usage of the waterways,” the American Waterways Operators said in a letter supporting the anchorages. The late folk musician Pete Seeger sailed his sloop Clearwater from Beacon to raise awareness of the river’s pollution by companies and co-founded the Clearwater Festival to celebrate the environment and the Hudson. Seeger, said Vitalah Gayle Simon in a comment posted on Regulations. com, “must be singing loudly against the proposed barge project on the beloved Hudson which he dedicated so many years of his life to clean up.”

Rye Brook-based Xylem to buy smart meter company for $1.7 billion BY BOB ROZYCKI bobr@westfairinc.com

ye Brook-based Xylem Inc., an international water technology company, said that it has signed an agreement to buy Sensus, a provider of water-metering technologies, for $1.7 billion in cash. Sensus, with headquarters in Raleigh, N.C., has more than 80 million metering devices installed worldwide. The company is a provider of network technologies and advanced data analytics services for the water, electric and gas industries. Patrick Decker, Xylem president and CEO, said in a statement announcing the purchase on Aug. 15: “With Sensus, we will acquire a strategically valuable asset that will accelerate our ability to bring systems intelligence solutions to customers across the water and energy industries, establish a foundation for future growth and create significant shareholder value.” Xylem was spun off by ITT Corp, in the fall of 2011 as a publicly traded company

along with Exelis Inc., ITT’s defense and information solutions business. Xylem had 2015 revenue of $3.7 billion and more than 12,500 employees worldwide. Xylem was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, North America, for the last four years for advancing sustainable business practices and solutions worldwide, according to a press release. Xylem said it would finance the allcash transaction with approximately $400 million of its non-U.S. cash, new and existing credit facilities and a combination of short- and long-term debt. It said there is no change to its full-year 2016 adjusted earnings outlook and expects to maintain quarterly dividend payments to shareholders. Pending regulatory review, the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2016. Sensus had $837 million in adjusted revenue and $159 million in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in fiscal 2016, which ended March 31. The company has 3,300 work-

ers across locations in the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany, Slovakia, and China. Nearly 70 percent of its 2016 revenues were generated in the U.S., according to a press release. In addition to the smart water sector, Sensus generates about 24 percent of its revenues from sales to electric and gas utilities. “The projected growth rate of smart metering, particularly advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), is even higher in these sectors than in water, and Sensus is well positioned to capture that growth with its network-enabled solutions,” according to a press release. “Sensus has a very broad product port-

folio in metering and is well positioned in the AMI segment,” Decker said. “The AMI segment is growing at nearly twice the rate of the total metering space, driven in part by regulations and customers’ growing need for real-time data and reduced operational costs. Our expansive customer relationships will be able to extend the reach of Sensus’ products and technologies to new markets globally, particularly in emerging markets. As a combined company, we expect Xylem to grow faster and be more profitable.” Xylem said it expects to achieve at least $50 million in annual cost synergies to be realized within three years of closing.

Landlord shines as investor in solar-paneled rooftops BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

iamond Properties, a commercial real estate and management company based in Mount Kisco, recently doubled its solar energy portfolio by completing three major projects in metropolitan New York and Connecticut, including the largest rooftop solar system in New York. The installations are part of an effort to reach at least 10 megawatts of solar-generated power from panels across the 44 properties owned by Diamond. CEO Jim Diamond said there are several reasons the company has chosen to focus on solar. “Environmentally, it makes a ton of sense, finding sustainable power,” he said. “Second is that we end up getting discounted power to our tenants. Third, we are effectively locking in the long-term cost of power.” The company has completed solar projects on seven of its buildings, generating a total of 7 MW of electricity. The most recent project is a 2,497-kilowatt system, about 2.5 MW, installed on the roof of an industrial building at 100 Brook Hill Drive in West Nyack, which Diamond said is the largest rooftop array in New York. Diamond also completed projects at its LaQuinta Inn & Suites property at 116 Newtown Road in Danbury and on a warehouse building at 150 Callendar Road in Watertown, Conn. In addition to creating the largest solar array in New York, the commercial landlord also constructed the largest rooftop solar array in Westchester County in 2015. That was a 1.9-MW installation on an office building at 333 N. Bedford Road, the site of the former Grand Union warehouse. Diamond Properties has invested more than $20 million in its solar projects, according to Diamond, and expects to recover those costs over time in energy savings. Safari Energy LLC, a Manhattan company, handled construction of the three latest solar projects and all of Diamond Properties’ previous installations. Over their 30-year lifetime, the three new photovoltaic systems are expected to produce enough clean energy to avoid adding 83 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to taking 17,500 passenger vehicles off the road, according to Diamond Properties. In Connecticut, the solar project at the Watertown site is projected to supply 93 percent of the annual energy needs of Diamond’s tenant, ShelterLogic Corp., a manufacturer of shade, shelter and storage products. The West Nyack project is projected to generate 71 percent of the power needs of Dianond’s two tenants: Intercos Group, a cosmetics company, and PDI, a manufac-

turer of professional disposables such as cleansing wipes. The La Quinta Inn & Suites rooftop installation in Danbury is projected to offset 18 percent of the hotel’s annual energy needs. Diamond said being able to offer lowercost, green energy helps draw and retain tenants. “I think everybody is conscious of sustainability now, so the combination of being able to get sustainable power at a discount, compared to regular utility rates, is compelling,” Diamond said. “There’s really no TWB California Closets negative to it.” WCBJ Officials in Albany are likely to 7.375” w x 7.125” h be pleased 6-14-16 as well.

Dairy Queen eyes Westchester for New York expansion BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

airy Queen, the international soft-serve ice cream and fastfood restaurant chain, is looking to add up to 100 locations in New York over the next 10 years in an expansion expected to mark DQ’s debut in Westchester County. The Minneapolis company, owned by Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc., is looking for franchisees to bring its Blizzard sundaes and cheeseburgers into the Westchester market. While Dairy Queen is not now a presence in the county, it has established itself in the surrounding area. The chain has locations in Manhattan, the Bronx and New Jersey and in Orange and Dutchess counties in the Hudson Valley. Dairy Queen also operates in Connecticut’s Fairfield County, with locations in Stamford, Monroe, Bridgeport and Stratford. It may be best known for its ice cream, but the company is looking to grow its Grill & Chill model in Westchester. Dairy Queen launched the concept in 2002. Beyond the

soft-serve ice cream that Dairy Queen originally offered, the locations carry a variety of burgers and chicken sandwiches. Jim Kerr, vice president of franchise development for Dairy Queen, said the company generally looks for experienced operators to franchise its locations. Franchise owners are required to have $400,000 in equity for a single store and approximately $2 million in equity to open multiple stores. The investment for a franchise buyer ranges from $1.07 million to $1.83 million before the cost of leasing or purchasing land, according to Dairy Queen. “Ideally, we love to see multiunit-capable franchisees,” Kerr said. “A group that already operates a brand that wants to diversify in an area, or just individuals with strong business skills with access to capital.” Kerr said the Grill & Chill concept is an attractive model for franchisees, as it can attract customers for lunch, dinner or snacks. Dairy Queen last year launched 84 new Grill & Chill locations and converted more than 200 regular DQ locations and expects to open another 85 this year, he said. A total of 1,560 Grill & Chill locations

have opened in 42 states. Kerr said the company uses analytics to find locations that would work best to draw customers to Dairy Queen. The formula showed multiples areas in Westchester that could work, Kerr said, including White Plains, Yonkers, Greenburgh and Port Chester. Dairy Queen wants to give customers a drive-through option, so standalone buildings are preferred to locations in shopping plazas or malls, Kerr said. Exceptions can be made for denser areas, he added, citing a Manhattan location that consists of only a storefront. The average DQ Grill & Chill restaurant hs about 2,600 square feet of space with capacity for 72 seats, according to the company. The first Dairy Queen opened in 1940 in Joliet, Illinois, and the company still operates most heavily in the Midwest. But Kerr said Dairy Queen has pushed into the southeast, Texas and California, along with its growth in New York in Rochester, Syracuse, Albany and Long Island. August is a good month to be talking New York expansion, Kerr said. The DQ Blizzard of the Month right now is a Royal New York Cheesecake.

STATE FINISHES $9.2M ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT AT PURCHASE COLLEGE NEW YORK’S POWER AUTHORITY HAS invested $9.2 million into improving energy efficiency at Purchase College, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Aug. 15. The project is expected to save the college, part of the SUNY system, about $400,000 per year on energy costs. Upgrades implemented by the New York Power Authority include the upkeep or replacement of four cooling towers, installation of a building management system and an underground water condenser system. The improvements can reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions by 360 tons a year, which the state says is equivalent of removing 76 cars from the road. The state Public Service Commission earlier this month approved the Clean Energy Standard, a mandate pushed by Cuomo to have the state receive half of its power through renewable sources by 2030. This project, Cuomo said in a statement, builds on that vision. “The completion of this clean energy project is a win-win-win that will help fight climate change, increase energy efficiency and cut costs at SUNY Purchase,” Cuomo said. —Ryan Deffenbaugh

DEALS&DEEDS

SIMONE PAYS $6.5M FOR FLEX BUILDING IN PORT CHESTER SIMONE DEVELOPMENT COS. RECENTLY CLOSED on its $6.5 million purchase of 21 Grace Church St., a fully occupied, 65,000-squarefoot industrial flex building in Port Chester whose main tenant is a 32-year-old coffee roasting company. The property was acquired by the Bronxbased developer in an off-market deal with the previous owner Grace 21 Associates LLC.

Tenants are Empire Coffee Co. Inc., which in 1994 opened a 40,000-square-foot facility for its expanded roasting, grinding and packaging business at 21 Grace Church St., AlbumX Corp. and Port Chester Market Corp. Joseph Simone, president of Simone Development, in a press release said the acquisition “preserves these homegrown jobs while providing an excellent longterm investment opportunity for Simone Development.”

MOHEGAN LAKE SHOPPING DISTRICT PROPERTY SELLS FOR $1.7M MOHEGAN VILLAGE SQUARE, A TWO-STORY retail and office building at 1950 E. Main St. in the village of Mohegan Lake, recently sold for $1.7 million in an all-cash deal, Admiral Real Estate Services Corp. reported. John Barrett, head of investment

Westchester Meadows retirement community to lay off 89

he financially troubled Westchester Meadows retirement community in Valhalla has given notice that it plans to lay off 89 employees at the end of September. The 120-bed, continuing care retirement community, operated by the nonprofit Hebrew Hospital Senior Housing Inc. at 55 Grasslands Road, filed for bankruptcy in December. The organization also runs a 20-bed skilled nursing facility, a 10-bed enriched housing unit and an adult day health care program. Hebrew Hospital cited a possible sale of the facility in its Aug. 4 layoff notifi-

cation to the state. Private-sector entities that employ more than 50 people must file WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act) notices 90 days before a facility is closed to give employees time to prepare for layoffs and find new jobs. Westchester Meadows was financed with a $48.1 million tax-exempt bond issued through the Westchester County Industrial Development Agency. The IDA holds title to the 29.5-acre site. The retirement home was a success at the beginning, in that all of the units were presold before construction was completed and it was fully occupied when doors opened in 2002. The facility quickly ran into financial problems.

sales at Admiral in Bronxville, represented the seller, EK Trust, which developed the 13,500-square-foot property on state Route 6 in the heart of the village’s shopping district about 30 years ago. Barrett also identified the buyer as D.B. Realty of Westchester LLC, a Yonkers-based investor in multifamily properties that was looking to diversify assets. Barrett said Mohegan Village Square has six ground-floor retail tenants and six second-floor office tenants, with three office units vacant. “We had over 15 property inspections and received multiple highly qualified noncontingent all-cash offers,” Barrett said in the announcement. He said the sale occurred at a capitalization rate of 6.3 percent on in-place income, or about $126 per square foot.

Most of its revenue comes from entrance fees and monthly rents. From the time it opened through 2014, it showed net operating losses, according to a court filing. The cash flow worsened with the national financial crisis beginning in 2008. Senior citizens could no longer profit from selling their houses, so they were unable to pay the Westchester Meadows entrance fee. As the population plummeted, there was less rental income. The cash flow became so impaired that the facility was unable to refund entrance fees and several former residents sued. From 2008 to 2013, Westchester Meadows lost about $4.7 million. In 2014, after reducing staff, outsourcing services and implementing other cost-cutting measures, it had a net income of $127,000. When Hebrew Hospital filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, it listed assets of $36 million and liabilities of $65 million. The largest unsecured claim was a $23.5 million pension withdrawal liability to the 1199 SEIU Funds, run by the union that represents employees who will lose their jobs. Most of the top 20 unsecured claims were for unpaid entrance fee refunds owed to former residents, totaling $4.8 million. The bankruptcy case was filed to facilitate a sale of the facility. A deal was in place last year but fell through, according to a bankruptcy court filing, and Hebrew Hospital retained RBC Capital Markets to look for another buyer. A nursing home affiliated with Westchester Meadows, Hebrew Hospital Home of Westchester, was sold last year. The $10 million netted in the deal was earmarked for various debts and obligations. Management of Westchester Meadows and a spokesman for the United Healthcare Workers East union did not respond to messages requesting comment.

AUTOZONE SIGNS LEASE IN ROCKLAND RETAIL DEVELOPMENT AUTOZONE, THE MEMPHIS-BASED NATIONAL AUTO parts company, has leased a 7,225-square-foot retail space in a new development at 218 Route 59 in Airmont in Rockland County. The company’s signing of a 10-year lease with options was announced by Royal Properties Inc. in Yonkers. David Landes, principal of Royal Properties, said the Airmont location, near state Thruway Exit 14B, will cover the western part of Rockland County for AutoZone’s business. Landes represented the landlord in the transaction. AutoZone’s neighboring retailers on Route 59 include Verizon, ShopRite, CVS, Outback Steakhouse, Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, Applebee’s and Walmart. —John Golden

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Mitigating risk in your business We have an insurance renewal coming up. We know prices are going up in general. On top of that we’ve had a couple of claims, which we’re sure will hurt us. We need help and we’re looking for recommendations. THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Know what kinds

of risk you want protection from. Lower risk by making constructive changes to how you conduct business. Decide how much risk you’re willing to shoulder. Since different types of agents and brokers sell different types of insurance, it’s important to put together a team who can provide advice on risk exposure, risk-reduc-

tion programs and insurance options. In case your building gets damaged, are you insuring the building or just the contents? What if people get hurt on your property? Automobiles and drivers encounter road hazards coming and going to and from work and while running errands for the business — does your coverage protect them? Worried about getting sued? You might want a policy that covers out-of-court settlements as well as attorney expenses, litigation and court judgments. What about an employee who damages property or harms another person? What if someone claims you gave them bad advice? Think about copyright violations and other marketing or production errors. Health insurance, workers compensation, state disability, Social Security disability and unemployment insurance protect workers in case of injury and lack of work. Some you pay for and some the employee pays for. Knowing which kicks in when is crucial. Life insurance protects those who are left behind — including the business — when someone dies. It provides liquidity, something most survivors and businesses need in times of distress. Life insurance can be used to buy time as you search for solutions.

It takes care of people and functions within the business. It can be used to bring shares back to the company. Bonds help secure performance and compliance. Bonds can protect you from another firm’s default or insure that you will perform as promised. Fidelity bonds protect in the case of employee theft. If you want to share risk, expect to treat your insurance companies, agents and insurance brokers like business partners. Educate them about your business. Be honest and forthright about problems and concerns. Work with them throughout the year. If shopping for insurance, ask peers for referrals and check references. It’s human nature to avoid problems. But the less you know about a subject, the greater your risk. That’s especially true when it comes to insurance. How well can you protect your business? From cybercrime? How about burst water pipes? Employee accidents? What if you lost your office or warehouse? What if employees couldn’t come to work? Lower insurance costs by writing out a risk mitigation plan. Identify and eliminate root causes. Train employees, vendors and customers how to avoid and respond to problems. Look to state agencies for

assistance on training. Set goals for injuryfree days. Measure days without claims. Be proactive. Keep in mind that entrepreneurs are inherently risk takers. They assume bad things will happen to the other guy. And they’re sure they’ll be able to work through problems that happen to them. But why put an otherwise healthy business in jeopardy? Insurance is another cost of doing business. Get an understanding of the costs and benefits. Sell your customers on the fact that insurance means your business is a safe, well-run solution that will continue to be here for them. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK?

to the Solar Energy Industries Association, a solar trade group. Over the next five years, Connecticut is expected to install 1,031 MW of solar electric capacity, more than six times the amount of solar installed over the previous five years, according to the trade group. Diamond said he will continue to emphasize solar development on any property the company now manages or acquires in the future. ‘We’ve shifted our portfolio to more and more acquiring industrial properties, which tend to have larger roofs,” he said. “For obvious reasons, that’s more conducive to solar than smaller office buildings. So every property we acquire, we’re weighing the economics of adding solar.” Diamond has two more projects underway: solar panels on top of a parking garage at an office building at 1351 Washington Blvd. in Stamford and a rooftop installation at a warehouse at 181 Marsh Hill Road in Orange, Conn.

InspiriaMedia is an Inc. 5000 firm, meaning it is among the fastest-growing companies in the country, as ranked by Inc. magazine. Gibbons Digital, founded in Manhattan in 2007, has been in Bronxville since 2012. The firm specializes in operating social media for small and medium-size businesses in the tristate area. Bridget Gibbons, CEO and founder of Gibbons Digital, will assume the role of director of digital and inbound marketing for InspiriaMedia. She will be responsible for InspiriaMedia’s digital and inbound marketing clients, according to the release. “Having seen the work Bridget has done in the New York metro area business community over the past few years, we are confident that her experience will help further the InspiriaMedia brand for years to come and enable us to deliver even better service to our clients,” said Ronnie Ram, president and CEO InspiriaMedia.

ACCOUNTING BY GREGORY BAUTISTA AND NICOLE B. LIEBMAN

To have and to hold … but how and for how long?

-discovery, data preservation and information governance are just a few of an increasing number of legal terms that accounting firms are hearing more and more every day. Accountants provide valuable services and advice to their clients and are the recipients of information about them that is often sought when a client becomes engaged in a legal proceeding. Consequently, accountants are becoming

The process of preserving documents is done through the initiation of a legal hold over the documents requested in the subpoena and documents relating to the circumstances and parties in the lawsuit. Two important considerations when implementing a legal hold are how the documents are preserved and when it is

HOW LONG TO HOLD?

acceptable to release the hold.

HOW TO HOLD? When implementing a legal hold triggered by the receipt of a nonparty subpoena, the first consideration is how to identify, collect and preserve the data. If there are automatic deletion or document destruction policies in place, they should be suspended for that client. This will help ensure that no data is lost that may be responsive. With automatic deletion suspended, the next consideration is whether to preserve the data in place on the email server or collect it and store it separately as a snapshot of the mailbox. Email is the most difficult data source to monitor, as individuals are constantly in and out of their mailboxes and could potentially delete an email or attachment that is subject to the hold. There is no bright-line rule for when a snapshot is acceptable versus a continuous hold, and there are several factors to consider when making that decision. To determine which option is the best for your situation, ask yourself the following questions: What are the chances that you could become a party to the lawsuit or have another related lawsuit brought against you concerning the same subject matter? A continuous hold or a combination of a snapshot and

a continuous hold may be the easiest options. Does the time frame of the subpoena seek documents on an ongoing basis? Is it likely that the party issuing the subpoena will be looking for newly generated documents? A continuous hold will help ensure that these newly generated documents and communications are exempted from your firm’s document retention protocol. Is the client whose documents are the target of the subpoena still your client? If so, is there ongoing work related to the subject matter of the lawsuit? Be aware that newly generated documents may be considered part of an ongoing subpoena. Is your client no longer a client so that no new documentation and communications are being generated? In this instance, a snapshot is advisable, provided you take appropriate steps to ensure that all responsive documents are captured. Although it seems like the continuous hold process is preferred, the snapshot approach is acceptable even if newly generated emails also should be preserved. Information technology staff would have to take the snapshot and implement the hold on the mailbox from the date of the snapshot, allowing the older emails to run off per the retention period, which could save storage space. The key is to ensure that the data is preserved, whichever approach you choose.

Maintaining a legal hold over documents that are the subject of a non-party subpoena gives many accounting firms cause for concern because they end up holding on to documents for a very long time, often longer than necessary. Once you have implemented the legal hold and documents have been produced, it is common that a significant amount of time will pass without hearing anything from the attorney who issued the subpoena or the parties to the lawsuit. So how do you know when you can release the hold? With the assistance of an attorney, we recommend that you monitor the lawsuit and wait until it is settled or resolved, at which point the subpoena is no longer in effect. An alternative option is to request written representation from the parties involved that they will not be seeking any further documents or testimony from you, and inform them that the hold will be released. At the time a legal hold is released, normal document retention practices should be reinstituted. Documentation of the decision to release the legal hold, including the reasons why the decision is reasonable and made in good faith at the time, is important to memorialize and justify the decision should it be challenged in the future.

CONCLUSION Even if you are well versed in the current litigation hold standards in your jurisdiction arising from state courts, federal courts or administrative agencies, it may be best to consult with your legal or risk management counsel before taking any irrevocable actions. A wrong step could make you look not only careless but also culpable.

Buying in to the right buy-sell agreement

oes your company have a buy-sell agreement? If not, it should. These binding contracts determine how — and at what price — ownership shares of a business will change hands should an owner depart for any reason. But even if you have one in place, it’s important to buy in to both the concept and finer points of the agreement itself. Like an insurance policy, a buy-sell isn’t exactly a thrilling read. But you need to fully understand all of its ramifications.

IMPORTANT PARAMETERS A buy-sell sets up parameters for the transfer of ownership interests following any of a number of stated “triggering events.” These include an owner’s death or long-term disability; loss of license or other legal incapacitation; retirement; bankruptcy and divorce. The agreement will also specify a valuation method for appraising the departing owner’s interest at the appropriate time. In choosing a method, you and your fellow owners need to carefully define buyout terms and specify the financial data to be used in the agreement. For example, a sound buy-sell will spell out a required end date for the financial statements that must be used to appraise business interests following a triggering event. Some also mandate a particular level of assurance — compilation, review or audit — regarding those financial statements. An additional and often overlooked point about valuations: They take time. Business owners are often surprised at the

amount of research and review involved in the process. And this can occur under difficult circumstances if, say, an owner has suddenly passed or a severe conflict has developed.

CRITICAL FOR CLOSELY HELD COMPANIES Closely held businesses that fail to create a viable buy-sell agreement or fail to create one at all, put themselves at particular risk. Unlike public companies, private ones have no ready or established market in which to sell ownership shares. Also, comparable businesses may be hard to come by and buyers may simply not exist. These points can create difficult circumstances for businesses, especially when something unexpected happens. Say an owner suddenly dies. His shares may pass on to his heirs, but how much are those shares worth and to whom can his heirs sell them? In contrast, a buy-sell will remove uncertainty by stipulating that remaining owners will buy the ownership interest at a price determined by the stated valuation method. Plus, the agreement will help to prevent an unfamiliar and perhaps unwanted owner from suddenly joining the business.

DIFFERENT APPROACHES In many cases business owners don’t have the cash readily available to buy out a departing owner. So most buy-sells include an insurance policy to fund the agreement. And this is where several different types of agreements come into play.

Under a cross-purchase agreement, each owner buys life or disability insurance, or both, that covers the other owners. Should one owner die or become incapacitated, the other owners collect on their policies and use the proceeds to buy the deceased or incapacitated owner’s shares. Another type is a redemption agreement. Here the company — not each owner — buys the insurance policy and acquires the deceased or incapacitated owner’s shares. This approach can really help businesses with multiple owners because fewer policies are needed. In some cases, a company will create a hybrid buy-sell that combines aspects of the cross-purchase and redemption approaches. These agreements may stipulate that the business gets the first opportunity to redeem ownership shares. And if the company is unable to buy the shares, the remaining owners are then responsible for buying the departing owner’s interests. Alternatively, the owners may have the first opportunity to redeem the shares.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR C CORPS If your company is structured as a C corporation and has a redemption agreement funded by life insurance, you’ll need to pay extra attention to potentially adverse tax consequences. First, receipt of insurance proceeds could trigger corporate alternative minimum tax. Second, the value of the remaining owners’ shares will probably rise without increasing their basis. This in turn could drive up their tax liability in the event they sell their interests. Heightened liability for the corporate alternative minimum tax is generally unavoidable under these circumstances. But you may be able to manage the second problem by revising your buy-sell as

Norman G. Grill

a cross-purchase agreement. Under this approach, owners will buy additional shares themselves, increasing their basis. Naturally, there are downsides. If owners are required to buy a departing owner’s shares but the company redeems the shares instead, the IRS may characterize the purchase as a taxable dividend. Your business may be able to mitigate this risk by crafting a hybrid agreement that names the corporation as a party to the transaction and allows the remaining owners to buy back the stock without requiring them to do so. This has been a general discussion and is not intended as advice. Because buy-sell is a complex agreement, it is advisable to seek the assistance of qualified professionals. Norman G.

AUDI DEALERSHIP BREAKS GROUND

Mount Pleasant Supervisor Carl Fulgenzi and Audi Hawthorne Dealer Principal Josh Weeks.

The shiny shovels were out July 21 for the groundbreaking ceremony of an Audi dealership that will take the place of the former All Westchester Saw Mill Multiplex Cinemas in Hawthorne. The new 71,000-square-foot, two-story facility comes from Audi Hawthorne, which is part of a group that also operates an Audi dealership in Danbury. New Jersey-based REDCOM Design & Construction LLC is handling the site work and construction. The new facility, at 151 Saw Mill River Road, will feature a showroom and full-service car wash. It’s expected to employ 60 people when it opens, which Audi Hawthorne expects will happen by next summer.

MEDICAL COLLEGE NAMES ASSOCIATE DEAN Andrew Mutnick, New York Medical College class of 2001, returns to the school as associate dean for student affairs. His new role includes developing and

administering student affairs programs and serving as advisory dean of the Stow House.

DIABETES EDUCATION PROGRAM EARNS RECOGNITION Westmed Medical Group announced that its diabetes education program recently earned the American Diabetes Association Education Recognition Certificate for its outstanding approach to helping patients manage their diabetes. The ADA certification helps ensure that educational programs meet criteria outlined by the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education Programs. “The process for achieving recognition gives diabetes

educators a national standard for measuring the quality of services they provide, and, of course, it assures the patient that he/she will receive high-quality service,” Maureen Adams, senior director of nursing and director, clinical operations and case management, said in a statement. There are 29.1 million people or 9.3 percent of the population in the United States who have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association. Each day approximately 4,657 people are diagnosed with diabetes.

LSHV RECEIVES GRANT FROM MBIA

Tom Gabriel, LSHV’s chief development officer; Jill Bradshaw-Soto, attorney in charge of the Mount Vernon office; Kimberly Osgood, director, MBIA and president, MBIA Foundation; Jonathan Harris, managing director and deputy general counsel, MBIA; and Kathleen Reagan, managing director, MBIA.

CLARE RECEIVES AWARD Legal Services of the Hudson Valley (LSHV), the only provider of comprehensive civil legal services to those that cannot afford it in the seven counties of the lower and mid-Hudson Valley, recently received a grant of nearly $14,000 from the MBIA Foundation. Representatives from the MBIA Foundation in Purchase met with LSHV staff to show their support for the nonprofit’s Housing Stability Program for Westchester Families. Through this program, LSHV promotes household and community stabilization by assisting low-income Westchester residents with foreclosure counseling, mortgage modification and eviction prevention to ensure their rights are preserved. Ultimately, this program reduces homelessness, stabilizes communities and keeps families in their homes so they can retain and build assets and break the cycle of poverty.

CLARFELD RANKED 6TH AMONG MEGA ADVISERS

WARTBURG RECEIVES SEVERAL HONORS ◀◀ David Gentner and Angela Ciminello, Wartburg director of development and marketing, display the 2016 Telly Awards received for excellence in the “Visionaries” documentary.

Wartburg, a skilled-nursing facility in Mount Vernon, has announced that it has been recognized with numerous honors, including the Legacy Award from the Westchester County Chapter of the Links, a 2016 Telly Award for Excellence in Documentary for their segment on PBS’ “Visionaries” series highlighting their award-winning, internationally recognized arts-based program, Creative Aging & Lifelong Learning, and Wartburg’s nursing home administrator received the Eli Pick Facility Leader-

ship Award from the American College of Health Care Administrators. Wartburg was also named one of the “Best Nursing Homes in New York State,” by U.S. News & World Report for the sixth consecutive year in 2016. “This team works very hard to help people live their best life,” David Gentner, Wartburg’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “Collectively, we are what we repeatedly do…excellence and creativity in delivering senior services to our commu-

nity then, is not an act, but a habit.” The Westchester County Chapter of The Links presented Wartburg with its Legacy Award. Wartburg was one of several organizations honored for being a community partner that has supported and assisted The Links in providing information, resources and opportunities to Westchester County’s underserved populations. The Links is one of the nation’s oldest and largest volunteer service organizations of women who are committed to enriching, sustaining and ensuring the culture and economic survival of African Americans. Paula Ress, Wartburg’s Skilled Nursing Facility administrator, was awarded the Eli Pick Facility Leadership Award from the American College of Health Care Administrators. The awards program uses datadriven criteria to objectively identify highperforming skilled nursing facilities and the leaders who make them excel.

Camille A. Clare, interim associate dean of diversity and inclusion for New York Medical College School of Medicine in Valhalla and associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology, received the National Medical Association (NMA) Scroll of Merit Award, the organization’s highest award. She was presented with the award at the opening ceremony of the NMA 114th Annual Convention and Scientific Assembly in Los Angeles on July 30. The NMA is the largest and oldest national organization representing African-American physicians and their patients in the United States.

Rob Clarfeld

Rob Clarfeld, CEO of Clarfeld Financial Advisors in Tarrytown, is one of the highestranking boutique wealth advisers and registered investment advisers on Forbes’ 2016 Top Wealth Advisors. Ranked 6th, Clarfeld shares the top slots with advisers from three of the nation’s largest brokerage houses:

Merrill Lynch, UBS and Morgan Stanley. “Investments are a critical part of our business,” Clarfeld said in a statement. “But what really differentiates high-quality boutiques from the large brokerage houses is the entrepreneurial approach to integrated wealth management, attributes that often are quite limited within the institutional culture of the mega firms.” The Forbes article described Clarfeld’s passion for estate and tax planning, investments; financial concierge services such as bill paying and document management; and assistance during family emergencies that go “above-and-beyond” traditional service. “We are both amused and motivated that after 35 years, and extensive industry recognition, we’re often told by clients that we are the profession’s best-kept secret,” Clarfeld said.

WCC’S MILES NAMED TO ADVISORY COUNCIL
