TAX DISPUTE

Bold design on the water DEVELOPER MAY PROPOSE 168-ROOM HOTEL, APARTMENTS, MODERN MARINA FOR TARRYTOWN

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

development proposal for the Tarrytown waterfront, which would include a Radisson hotel, apartments, restaurants, an enlarged and modernized marina and new public open spaces, is being discussed for possible formal submission to the village’s board of trustees and planning board. The developer would include a riverwalk on its property, connect-

ing with the existing Scenic Hudson Riverwalk.

The developer is YZK Development Group. YZK is a joint venture bringing together architect Carlos Zapata, principal of the Carlos Zapata Studio, Melissa Koff, managing partner of the Carlos Zapata Studio, and Michael Yanko, whose Yanko Group is located in New York City.

The developer made a conceptual presentation to the planning board.

The village has been preparing a proposal for new zoning in the area of the

Metro-North train station and Hudson River waterfront and the developer believes its proposal would fit well with what the Station Area Overlay District (SAO) likely would allow.

The development would take place on four parcels on the west side of the train tracks fronting on the Hudson River. The northernmost piece of land is owned by the village of Tarrytown. Next along the river is the parcel housing the Tarrytown Boat & Yacht Club. Adjacent to » TARRYTOWN

JUDGMENT FOR THE JUDGE LEWISBORO JUSTICE MARC SEEDORF FACES POSSIBLE 5 YEARS IN PRISON FOR TAX EVASION

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

LEWISBORO TOWN JUSTICE MARC A. SEEDORF HAS PLEADED GUILTY to tax

evasion for failure to pay $160,000.

Seedorf did not file tax returns for 11 years, from 2005 to 2015, according to the criminal information, concealed income from a lawsuit settlement and from a private law practice, and at one point had amassed $487,000 in tax liabilities.

Seedorf orchestrated a scheme from 2009 to 2019,

the criminal information states, to evade paying taxes “largely by failing to file personal income tax returns, ignoring the IRS’ repeated requests for documents and records, and taking steps to conceal the existence of … assets.”

Seedorf, of South Salem, has served as town justice since 1998. He worked as a prosecutor for the Bronx district attorney after graduating from Brooklyn Law School in 1981 and has maintained a private law practice for 33 years. » JUDGE

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR As Indian Point closing nears, the Hudson Valley needs a recovery plan, not more obstruction

BY DEBORAH MILONE

O

n April 30, 2021, the Indian Point Ener�y Center will cease operations.

I know how vital a force Indian Point has been for our communities.

It’s provided clean, reliable ener�y for more than 50 years. The jobs it’s created have powered our local economy. The taxes it’s paid have funded our municipal governments, schools, libraries and first responders. Its charitable contributions have helped enrich the lives of our children, families and cultural institutions.

Indian Point’s closing creates many challenges. It’s up to us to ensure that we prepare as wisely and quickly as possible for the Hudson Valley’s future without it.

Once Indian Point stops generating electricity, the plants will need to be decommissioned. This must be done according to very strict federal and state regulations with the approval of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

If Enter�y, Indian Point’s owner/operator, were to perform the decommissioning process, it would likely take upwards of 60 years. This is why Enter�y is seeking to transfer the plant’s license to Holtec International, a company that specializes in the storage of spent fuel and, with its partners, in the decommissioning of nuclear power plants. Through Holtec’s knowledge, innovation and use of specialized technolo�y, the process to safely decommission Indian

The Indian Point Energy Center.

Point can be completed nearly 40 years sooner.

Returning the Indian Point site to new uses is essential to the Hudson Valley’s future prosperity. We need new enterprises, jobs and tax revenues to support and strengthen our communities.

Holtec and its partners plan on preparing to release portions of the site for re-use as early as the 2030s, and the team’s decades of experience prove that we can be confident in its capabilities and safety.

Holtec’s innovations in spent-fuel storage have been deployed at more than 110 plants in the U.S. and in numerous countries around

the world. Holtec is a partner with Enter�y as the company’s dry cask storage designs and products have been in use for more than 10 years at Indian Point.

Holtec will also work with Enter�y to extend Indian Point’s economic benefits to the Hudson Valley throughout the decommissioning process by hiring current employees whose expertise will be important. Holtec’s use of technolo�y will minimize disruption of the land, water and air at and around the site to ensure that our environment is protected and preserved.

Losing Indian Point is going to be tough for us, but having its

license transferred to Holtec in a timely manner will allow for potential new opportunities at the site — which means jobs, economic growth, revenues and thriving institutions to support our families and the generations to come.

Unfortunately, some of the same activists who fought to shut down Indian Point seek to obstruct progress on the decommissioning that they made necessary — essentially pouring salt into the wound they created for our communities.

They’re not helping us. Nor are certain elected officials who said they want to slow down the license transfer process. As a 30-year resident of Peekskill, I can tell these opponents that we, the people who live and work here, are the ones who will suffer the direct losses of Indian Point’s closure.

We need decommissioning and repurposing of the site to proceed safely and expeditiously.

Our post-Indian Point recovery offers an opportunity for the Hudson Valley and now’s the time for us to support Enter�y’s license transfer to Holtec as it’s being considered by the NRC and state regulators. There’s no reason to wait any longer and not a moment to waste.

Deborah Milone is the executive director of the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce.

She also serves on the Government Action Committee of The Business Council of Westchester and as an advisory board member of the New York Affordable Reliable Electricity Alliance.

County Association’s Mooney slams I-684 toll plan

BY WILLIAM M. MOONEY JR.

C

onnecticut Gov. Ned Lamont’s proposed plan to charge tolls for commuters who pass through a very short stretch of Greenwich, Connecticut, while driving on I-684, which is mostly in New York, will add an unwarranted financial burden to hundreds of thousands of people in our region.

Lamont notes that a bridge over the Byram River in that section of I-684 in Connecticut is in need of repairs. We support

improvements in infrastructure to ensure safe roads and bridges — but we also know that Connecticut has a gasoline tax and other revenue streams it can use to cover the costs of these improvements.

Just because the legislators of Connecticut have chosen to earmark those funds for other purposes doesn’t mean they should add another tax to commuters and motorists in New York to compensate for those decisions.

Doing so would be robbing Peter

to pay Paul. The people of our region deserve better.

These kinds of additional taxes increase costs for employers and employees alike, which impacts the cost of goods and services for all of us and has a negative impact on spending and our overall local economic development.

Connecticut legislators should not support Lamont’s currently proposed plan.

William M. Mooney Jr. is the president and CEO of the Westchester County Association.

Westchester minimum wage going up

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

T

he minimum wage required to be paid under New York state law by businesses in Westchester goes up to $13 per hour as planned on Dec. 31 in the wake of a Dec. 4 report by the Division of the Budget finding that scheduled minimum wage increases have not negatively impacted the state’s economy.

Annual reports on the impact on the economy of increasing the minimum hourly wage were mandated when the $15 minimum wage law was put into effect.

The increase to $13 from the current $12 per hour in Westchester is part of a schedule that phases in increases on a regional basis.

Outside of New York City, Long Island and Westchester, the minimum wage in the state rises to $11.80 per hour from the current $11.10 per hour.

In New York City, what the state refers to as “big” employers, those having 11 or more employees, already are required to pay a minimum wage of $15 per hour. For so-called “small” employers in New York City, those with 10 or fewer employees, the minimum wage rises from $13.50 to $15 on Dec. 31.

Legislation requiring a minimum wage of $15 per hour in New York state was passed as part of the 2016-2017 state budget, but the timing depended on location.

The wage rate schedule shows Westchester and Long Island hitting the $15 maximum on Dec. 31, 2021. For areas outside of New York City, Westchester and Long Island, the highest minimum wage currently established is $12.50 per hour as of Dec. 31, 2020, with the director of the Division of the Budget in consultation with the Department of Labor tasked with preparing a schedule to bring it up to $15 per hour sometime after 2021.

The Division of the Budget’s report showed the 2019 average unemployment rate in Westchester at 3.5% compared with 4.2% for New York City and 4% statewide.

The report said there is a tight labor market and suggested that increased competition for employees would have pushed up wages to some extent even without higher state-mandated minimum wages.

The report said national economic growth can be expected to moderate in 2020 but added, “There is no evidence yet that the longest economic expansion in U.S. history is going to come to an end at any point over the near-term forecast horizon.”

It said the budget division expects the nation’s economy to grow 1.9% in 2020 and expects that 1.9% also will be the number for New York state. It expected private-sector jobs statewide to grow at 1.2% in 2020 compared with 1.4% growth in 2019.

The report said health care, construc-

tion, transportation and warehousing and professional and business services are expected to continue as New York’s leading industrial sectors. It projected the number of minimum wage workers in the state would rise to about 1.5 million in 2020. That would be about 16.4% of the total New York workforce.

The report said that demographics in the minimum wage workforce have been changing, with 31.3% expected to be in the age 16-to-24 group in 2020, compared with 41.1% having been in that age group in 2009. The minimum wage workforce has been 57% women since 2009 and is forecast to remain that way into 2020.

According to U.S. Census Bureau statistics cited in the report, household income in New York state rose 2.5% in 2018 compared with 0.8% nationwide. The state’s minimum wage increases were given credRPW Ad15 440Mamaroneck 2019.qxp_RPW Ad15 440Mamaroneck 2019 5 12/10/19 1:43 PM Page it1 for helping produce that result.

Condemnation approved for East Post Road properties in White Plains

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

T

he White Plains Urban Renewal Agency (URA) voted unanimously Dec. 5 to move ahead with the condemnation of 12 privately owned parcels of real estate on East Post Road and a 13th parcel on South Lexington Avenue owned by the White Plains Housing Authority, which abuts the East Post Road properties.

The East Post Road parcels are identified as numbers 1-3, 2-4, 60, 42, 34, 26-28, 22-24, 18-20, 14-16 and 12. The South Lexington Avenue property is identified as having street addresses of 184-188 and 190192. The properties are diagonally across from White Plains Hospital.

The agency held a special meeting in the Common Council chambers at White Plains City Hall for the votes on two resolutions.

The agency's legal consultant, Shawn Griffin of the law firm Harris Beach, which has offices in White Plains and 11 other cities, explained that much more remains to be done before the properties actually are transferred to the agency's ownership.

“What we’re doing today is … taking an action that allows the acquisition of the property. We would have to come back to this board before we actually physically go into court one day and take title to the property,” Griffin said. “I think the most important thing to understand is that this proposed acquisition of parcels is meant to serve the public use and benefit.”

On Sept. 5, the agency conducted a public hearing that gave property owners who would be affected by a condemnation an opportunity to express their views.

In discussing a comment made at the public hearing by one property owner who complained of not having yet received an offer from the URA of fair market value, Griffin said, “You don’t make an offer for fair market value yet. You’ve had a public hearing. Today you’re saying go forth with counsel and corp counsel (the city’s corporation counsel) to move toward the actual purchase, and then I’m going to come back to you and under Eminent Domain Procedure Law Article 4 I’m going to ask your permission to go to a judge with a taking map and take this lot. Right now, we have the four-plus acres.

We might come back to you and say we’ve decided we only need three or something like that. You’re not taking a final act yet. It’s at that point when I’m standing before the judge (and) he’s going to say, ‘Did you make them an offer? What’s the appraisal?’ ” One of the affected property owners, Gabriel Arango, attended the special meeting and commented later that it's now time for the agency to negotiate and "make a deal." He also said it would be up to the agency to cover the costs of helping tenants relocate.

Griffin told the URA meeting that relocation help from a Westchester housing agency will be sought for residential tenants who will be displaced and that commercial tenants and landlords can go to court after the fact to seek additional compensation if they deem the funds they’re offered to be inadequate.

Griffin told the URA meeting that relocation help from a Westchester housing agency will be sought for residential tenants who will be displaced and that commercial tenants and landlords can go to court after the fact to seek additional compensation if they deem the funds they’re offered to be inadequate.

Mayor Thomas Roach, who is chairman of the agency, said at the Sept. 5 meeting that the URA had no specific project in mind for the properties. The documents presented at the Dec. 5 meeting authorized the condemnation to proceed and categorized the move as “returning the underutilized parcels to productive use” and “combating economic stagnation through stimulating, promoting and/or supporting new and/or existing economic revitalization.”

The URA determined that going ahead with the condemnation of the properties would not have adverse environmental impacts, would not adversely impact the land and would have no adverse impact on health and safety.

The properties cover approximately 4.18 acres and are a mix of residential and commercial uses. Familiar retail names along the strip include the Burke & McCowen hardware store, the Union Food Market and the One Source Pharmacy. There had been speculation that the agency might seek to have

mixed-use development take place on the properties, such as a residential building with street-level retail and an associated parking garage.

Susan Fox, president and CEO of White Plains Hospital, attended the Sept. 5 hearing on the condemnation and at that time told a reporter that the hospital would welcome additional parking and that its staff could benefit from additional housing in the neighborhood.

There has been ample legal precedent in the U.S. for properties condemned in urban renewal projects to be turned over to developers when it can be demonstrated that a public purpose is being served, although the White Plains URA has not announced plans to do that with these properties.

The URA owns land beneath the garage at the City Center shopping and entertainment complex, property on Amherst Place used as a parking lot, the Bronx Street parking lot near the Metro-North Railroad station and a couple of rights of way.

In a condemnation proceeding, it is not unusual for disputes to arise over the value of property being taken. The government agency taking the property often assumes title to the property while a court battle is being fought over what constitutes “just compensation” for the former property owner.

AG looks to shut down Rye Brook investment group in $13M fraud

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

N

ew York Attorney General Letitia James wants to shut down ACP Investment Group in Rye Brook and permanently bar managing partner Laurence G. Allen of Greenwich, Connecticut, from selling securities.

James sued Allen, ACP and several affiliates Dec. 4 in New York County Supreme Court for allegedly defrauding investors and misappropriating more than $13 million.

Allen in effect “merged the companies into a single fraudulent enterprise,” the complaint states. He used his control over the companies to “raid ACP’s accounts, pay himself handsomely and prop up his other ventures.”

“We believe that not only are the allegations without merit,” Allen said in an email, “but that the suit is a misdirected interference with private contracts among sophisticated investors.”

When Allen became aware of the attorney general’s investigation a year ago, he submitted a statement to FINRA, a regulatory agency, vigorously denying the allegations.

“I believe that the NYAG does not fully understand the nature of our business, which is atypical in the securities industry,” he stated. “I expect to resolve any outstanding questions raised by the NYAG once discovery is completed.”

ACP states on its website that “client interests always come first” and the goal “is to invest wisely and create value in an ethical manner for our investors.”

ACP is affiliated with NYPPEX private markets, a 15-person broker-dealer and online trading platform, with offices at 800 Westchester Ave. in Rye Brook.

In 2014, Allen launched ACP X, a private equity fund that was not allowed to invest in NYPPEX or any company Allen controlled or managed, the complaint states in citing the fund’s private placement memorandum, nor could he actively participate in day-to-day portfolio investment operations.

Seventy-five investors bought $17 million in limited partnership interests from ACP X. In 15 years, the attorney general claims, none of the ACP X investors got a full return on their $17 million in contributions or on any of the $10 million in accrued returns.

ACP X profited in its first few years, according to the complaint. But during the 2008 financial crisis, NYPPEX began experiencing cash flow shortages and Allen allegedly diverted ACP X funds to NYPPEX, in violation of the private placement memo, to prop it up.

NYPPEX lost money in nine out of 10 years, from 2008 to 2017. Revenue for the period totaled $25 million but operating losses totaled $8.9 million.

Allen responded that ACP X has ranked in the top 20% among similar funds since inception.

Allen allegedly transferred $5.7 million from ACP X and then paid himself $5.7 million in salary from NYPPEX. “Allen exploited the finances of the company for his personal gain,” the complaint states, “paying himself a salary dramatically out of line

with NYPPEX’s performance.”

The attorney general claims Allen inflated valuations of securities to lull limited partners into believing that ACP X’s investment in NYPPEX “was performing well, when in reality, it was not.”

Allen said the valuations have been in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board and generally accepted accounting principles.

“Valuations have been reviewed annually by the independent auditor,” he said, “which has resulted in a clean auditor letter each year.”

The attorney general accused Allen of manipulating his investors into amending the operating agreement and then “unlawfully distributing at least $3.4 million to himself and entities under his control.”

The attorney general, Allen responded, “is attempting to overturn amendments that were drafted by outside legal counsel and approved by the requisite majority of limited partners. If the (attorney general) succeeds, this would create significant risk

to the private equity fund industry.”

The attorney general claims Allen illegally diverted nearly $750,000 from ACP X to pay NYPPEX’s operating expenses.

Allen said operating expenses have been allocated properly and consistently among the affiliated companies.

The attorney general alleges Allen concealed problems by using metrics “that lacked an objective basis,” according to the complaint.

He projected revenue growth the enterprise never came close to achieving. In 2018, he projected $24.3 million in revenue, but actual revenue was $1.1 million.

Allen is accused of fabricating certifications that NYPPEX had been vetted and endorsed by a five-member investment committee. But, “apart from Allen, none of the other individuals identified ever had any role in the investment decisions.”

A year ago, then-Attorney General Barbara Underwood filed for a preliminary injunction to bar Allen from engaging in fraudulent practices. When Allen solicited new capital

to finance NYPPEX’s 2019 growth plans, he made no mention of the attorney general’s investigation.

“To date, Allen has looted ACP of more than $13 million,” the complaint states. “There is a high likelihood that … defendants will continue to engage in the fraudulent practices the attorney general has identified, irreparably harming investors.”

Allen describes himself as a financial entrepreneur with a 36-year track record of “exemplary regulatory compliance, having never been fined or censured by any securities regulator.”

The complaint accuses Allen and his companies of fraud and breach of contract. The attorney general is demanding that they pay restitution and damages to the investors, that Allen be permanently barred from issuing, promoting or selling securities in New York and that a receiver be appointed to liquidate the companies “for the benefit of defrauded investors.”

The attorney general’s accusations “are false and defamatory,” Allen said, and ACP and its affiliates look forward to exoneration in court.

Tarrytown—

it is a commuter parking lot used by about 170 cars, also owned by the village of Tarrytown.

The fourth parcel is the boat club’s marina.

The sale of the boat club’s properties to the developer was scheduled to be completed no later than Dec. 17, according to the boat club’s commodore Lou Monaco.

“This project is precisely what the SAO is encouraging. We wanted to share with you our concept and let you give us feedback or raise questions,” attorney David Steinmetz of the White Plains-based law firm Zarin & Steinmetz told the planning board on Nov. 25.

Monaco told the board, “We are excited about this. It keeps our club active and ongoing. We think if something like this can happen it would be fantastic for the riverfront and for our boat club.”

Monaco said the contract obligates the developer to provide a certain number of slips in the marina but does not obligate them to dredge it.

“If they want a viable marina there they’re going to have to dredge and rebuild the sea wall,” he said. “Right now we could accommodate boats up to 30, 35 feet. If you want the bigger boats, you’re going to have to dredge.”

Monaco said the last time the marina was dredged was in 1988.

The developer’s preliminary plans call for two major structures. The northern building would contain 52 residence units on five floors and would total 77,897 square feet. The southern building would be the hotel and a parking garage. The hotel also would be five stories and would have a total of 168 rooms with 32 of them suites. The gross area would be 151,168 square feet. The seven-floor garage would have space for 607 cars and would encompass 192,982 square feet.

The residence building and the hotel would each have restaurants. There would be 575 square feet of retail space in the residence building. The hotel would have 7,543 square feet of event space, a �ym, spa, meeting rooms, bars and a library.

‘FULL-FORCE SUSTAINABILITY’

“The river suites are going to be green, full-force sustainability, up and down by the tide, rotating by the sun,” Yanko said. “One or two of them are going to become conference rooms, or a little party room where the certificate of occupancy permits the use. The sizes of these suites are going to be between 500 and 1,000 square feet.”

Yanko said the river suite pods could be a great attraction for people visiting in their boats who don’t want to sleep on the boat. He said Radisson loved the idea of the river suites as well as the proximity to the new Mario M. Cuomo Bridge.

“We owe it to the residents to have the ability to come down to the river and we also owe it to ourselves to preserve the boat club, the Tarrytown Boat Club, and reinstate the marina and bring it back to its glory, what it used to be when it was a 180-slot marina with bigger boats and a lot happening,” Yanko said.

Yanko’s background includes developing approximately 1.5 million square feet of residential and hospitality properties. The Yanko Group’s portfolio includes The Whitman Building in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, and the 373-room Pod 39 hotel and 222-room Ink 48 hotel also in Manhattan.

Zapata’s projects include a new international concourse at Miami International Airport, the modernization of Soldier Field stadium in Chicago and the Bitexco Financial Tower in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Zapata said the modern style of the proposed buildings was chosen to fit with the modern style of the new bridge. He also said that he would like to use ground source heat pumps

Judge—

He formed a solo practice in the Bronx in 2012. Then from 2013 through 2015 he did not report his income, according to the criminal information.

He also failed to report more than $1.5 million from a 2012 lawsuit settlement. The criminal information does not identify the case, but Westchester Supreme Court records show a $2.8 million award in a medical malpractice settlement that year in the death of his wife, Donna. The award included legal fees and payments to his three children.

Seedorf asked the law firm that represented him to deposit his portion of the settlement in the firm’s attorney trust account, according to the criminal information, “as part of his effort to conceal the funds from the IRS.” Then he instructed the firm to transfer most of the funds to his own firm’s accounts

Another feature of the hotel would be found within the marina. There would be some river suites, pod-like structures supported by pilings.

Stand-alone pods are currently being added as rooms at a few hotels and resorts overseas.

“The technolo�y is proven technolo�y,” Zapata said. “We’re taking the concept of a hotel and matching it with the needs of the river, so we have river suites.”

and evaporative cooling for the buildings.

“I think this is beautifully positioned to take advantage of the fact that there is a train station with overpasses on it that will allow people to cross the tracks and be at the front step of our project and be received by the hotel and be received by a pedestrian access to the river,” Zapata said.

Steinmetz explained that for the development to work, the village would have to be willing to either sell or lease to the developer the northern parcel and parking lot adjacent to the boat club. He said the developer would provide alternative parking on the east side of the train tracks.

“The concept would be to construct a structure that would accommodate at least 170 vehicles,” he said. “That’s the number of vehicles that currently park on the south lot on the west side of the tracks. Our concept would be to see that parking structure erected with some kind of ground-floor cafe, some kind of rooftop amenity that people will enjoy.”

Steinmetz estimated the project could easily generate from $700,000 to $1 million a year in property taxes for the village while creating substantial numbers of construction jobs and permanent jobs. No date was given as to when a formal application for the project might be filed.

and to his brother-in-law, but not to his personal bank account.

He put some of the money in his investment account, made mortgage payments on a home that was facing foreclosure and paid down $357,100 of his federal tax liability.

He told an IRS revenue agent who had begun an audit in 2014 that he had borrowed money from his law firm’s escrow account to pay the taxes. He did not disclose the lawsuit settlement.

He never provided records that the IRS demanded for an audit, the criminal information states, and he did not respond to mail, telephone and email messages from the agency.

In pleading guilty to one count of tax evasion, Seedorf faces up to five years in prison.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on March 24

by U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel in White Plains federal court.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey C. Coffman is in charge of the prosecution.

carsdale and Bronxville rank high on a list of communities in which residents are having a comparatively easy time paying off their credit card debt, according to the personal finance website WalletHub. It reported the results of a survey designed, in part, to figure out where in the U.S. credit card debt was most and least sustainable. The median credit card balances of residents in 2,564 municipalities was gathered from TransUnion and analyzed. Credit cards from the major issuers were considered, not store credit cards. The average interest rates on the credit cards considered in the survey was 16.97%.

The municipalities were sorted into 99 percentiles, with the 99th including communities where people were taking the longest time to pay off their credit card debts and the first percentile including communities where consumers were paying off their credit card debt in the least time and at the lowest cost in interest and fees.

Scarsdale and Bronxville both ranked in the first percentile. In Scarsdale, people paid off median credit card debt of $5,303 in 17 months and two days at a cost of $652. In Bronxville, the median debt was $4,610 and it was paid off in 30 months and seven days at a cost of $670.

In Connecticut, Westport ranked in the eighth percentile. Residents there took 30 months and 22 days to pay off median credit card debt of $6,286 at a cost of $1,394. In Trumbull, the median credit card debt of $3,462 was paid off in 30 months and 27 days at a cost of $772.

Yonkers ranked in the 17th percentile.

It took 33 months and 27 days for consumers to pay off a median credit card debt of $2,449 with $601 in interest payments.

In Bridgeport, WalletHub found a median credit card debt of $1,946 was paid off in 35 months and 14 days at a cost of $501, ranking the city in the 22nd percentile.

Stamford was in the 24th percentile with a median credit card debt of $3,138 taking 35 months and 30 days to be retired at a cost of $819.

White Plains residents found themselves in the 28th percentile with a median credit card debt of $3.068 taking 37 months and three days to pay off at a cost of $829.

Norwalk was in the 38th percentile. It took 39 months and 20 days to pay off debt of $3,168 at a cost of $917.

Poughkeepsie was in the 69th percentile. It took residents there 48 months and 22 days to deal with median credit card debt of $2,543 at a cost of $917.

Ossining was in the 89th percentile. It

took credit cardholders there 58 months and 16 days to pay off debt of $3,171 at a cost of $1,395.

Greenwich also found itself in the 89th percentile. The median credit card debt of $5,702 cost cardholders $2,515 to pay off in 58 months and 21 days.

Yorktown Heights finished in the 93rd percentile. It took 63 months and 13 days to pay off a median credit card debt of

$3,470 at a cost of $1,667.

New Milford was ranked in the 98th percentile because it took 74 months and 23 days to deal with median credit card debt of $3,414 at a cost of $1,968.

The longest payoff time was 138 months and 17 days for cardholders in Jacksonville, North Carolina, who had median credit card debt of $3,435 and shelled out $4,048 in payoff costs.

Pelham pictures another development

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

gainst the background of the village of Pelham’s Board of Trustees giving approval on Nov. 12 for the development of a 27-unit, five-story, mixed-use building at 163 Wolfs Lane adjacent to the Pelham Picture House, the village’s Planning Board has started reviewing an application for another new residential building.

Under the new proposal, a vacant industrial building at 48 First Street would be demolished and replaced with an 8-unit, five-story, mixed-use building, which is being characterized as a transit-oriented development because it is only about 800 feet from Pelham’s Metro-North train station.

In addition to looking for site plan approval, the applicant, 48 Pelham Property LLC, has asked the village to apply the Business District Floating Zone (BDFZ) to the property.

Attorney Steven Wrabel of White Plains-based McCullough, Goldenberger & Staudt LLP in a letter told the Planning Board that parking and commercial space would be on the ground floor of the building. A recreation room and roof terrace are proposed for the use of residents. He said the building would have a green roof and use solar panels. The solar panels are expected to generate 36% of the electricity the building would need.

Wrabel said the developer expects to be one parking space short of what’s required for what would be commercial office space on the first floor and needs a waiver from the village.

He pointed out that there is on-street parking available and that a municipal parking lot is about 150 feet away from the site. The project site is 4,431 square feet and in its application the developer told the village that because the site is small and the building will only have eight units, excavating for underground parking is not

economically viable.

The developer pointed out the project has not been designed to attract families with children and does not include outside yards or a playground. It said when applying a formula previously used to study the impact of developments on the Pelham school system, it found the proposed building would generate less than one new child for the school system.

A traffic study found

WCBJ

the proposed residential building would generate less traffic than had existed when the industrial building, used as a warehouse, was operational.

“It is anticipated that the development will conservatively generate approximately two entering vehicles and six exiting vehicles during the Peak AM Hour, and six entering vehicles and four exiting vehicles during the Peak PM Hour,” the traffic study said. It also

said traffic was likely to be even lower than the study concluded because of the building’s proximity to the Metro-North train station and the likelihood that at least some residents would take the train rather than drive to work.

The developer stated its building would comply with the maximum height of 60 feet and five stories allowed in the BDFZ. Building height has been an issue for some Pelham residents who are

concerned with preserving the village’s architectural design and character.

The Pelham Preservation & Garden Society (PPGS) earlier this year issued a statement expressing concern about new, higher buildings overriding the character of the existing cityscape.

“While there are some 6-story buildings, there is not a continuous street wall of buildings at that height with a two-lane street crushed between them. Instead, Pelham has a rhythm, an ebb and flow of horizon lines from the taller buildings that align appropriately with the higher elevation of the railroad tracks in the heart of the business district, and then recede with randomness as one moves out of town in any direction, revealing a variety of rooflines and historic architectural styles, which make for a very pleasant, humanly scaled walking environment,” the statement said. It was signed by Nathan P. Pereira, chairman of the PPGS. The developer of the 163 Wolfs Lane project slightly reduced the height of its

proposed building during the village’s review process, with the height set at 55 feet in the plans that were approved, a reduction from 58 feet. It also made some changes to the exterior to better blend with the historic movie theater next door, which is being operated as a regional film center. The movie theater opened in 1921 and was saved from demolition in 2001 by citizens who established the nonprofit organization Pelham Picture House Preservation.

A gas station operated on the land next to the theater. The new building would have 1,400 square feet of ground floor retail space. During the review process, the developer eliminated one of the penthouse units, reducing the number of apartments from 28 to 27. Attorney David Cooper of the White Plains-based law firm Zarin & Steinmetz told the village the developer, Concrete Ventures LLC, “has revamped the building façade, with the goal of creating a more consistent streetscape along Wolfs Lane when compared to the adjacent Picture House.”

IN COURT | Bill Heltzel The Landing at Dobbs Ferry sues Greenburgh assessor in condo tax dispute

For more than a year and a half, Greenburgh Assessor Edye McCarthy has refused to certify tax parcels at The Landing on the Water at Dobbs Ferry, according to the owners, thus preventing them from having their deeds officially recorded when they sell their property.

The Landing at Dobbs Ferry sued McCarthy and the town of Greenburgh last month in

Westchester Supreme Court, demanding that a judge compel her to certify its tax lots.

“This action is governed by a simple statute, which requires the tax assessor to issue certain tax lot certifications,” the lawsuit states. Her duty is a “purely ministerial, nondiscretionary statutory mandate.”

The Landing is composed of 36 buildings

with 103 dwellings on 35.5 acres, built from the late 1990s to 2003.

The underlying controversy is about money, brought on by changes in federal tax law that limit state and local tax deductions.

The Landing was organized as a homeowners association and the units were taxed as single-family homes, based on fair market values or resale values. Last year, the owners decided to convert to condominiums to achieve a lower tax rate.

The Landing estimated that homeowners would save an average of 40%, or $10,000 each. But then the village of Dobbs Ferry and the town of Greenburgh would collect about $1 million a year less, or have to shift the tax burden to other property owners.

Paul Feiner, the Greenburgh town supervisor, said in an email that Dobbs Ferry officials contend that The Landing promised to be taxed as single-family homes when it sought government approvals decades ago.

“If it had not been taxed that way, the village probably would not have approved the homes,” he said. “We were advised by the village that if the conversion proceeded it would have had a major financial impact on the taxes on the rest of the village.”

Greenburgh is seeking state legislation that he said would allow local governments to prohibit condominiums built after 2021 from getting lower taxes but would not

affect existing condos.

The Landing filed a condominium conversion declaration on April 30, 2018, just in time for the May 1 deadline for the 2018 tax rolls.

But village and town officials and the state Office of Attorney General, The Landing claims, declined to acknowledge the conversion.

The attorney general, for instance, refused to issue a no-action letter, confirming that The Landing was not required to file an offering plan.

The Landing sued, demanding the no-action letter, and this past July the letter was issued.

The Landing has also challenged its tax assessments for 2018 and 2019 and demanded that the assessments reflect its status as a condominium.

The Landing contends that under the Condominium Act, the development immediately became a condominium when it filed the declaration last year, and the new lawsuit has nothing to do with its status as a condominium.

But McCarthy’s refusal to certify tax parcels “has had a real world impact,” because without the certifications the county clerk has declined to record new deeds.

McCarthy “has created a situation in which owners who wished to sell their homes have encountered serious problems in making those sales,” the petition states.

The Landing says the sole issue in the

IN COURT | Bill Heltzel ly at a Bank of America ATM machine on Columbus Avenue in Manhattan. One of them, according to the criminal complaint, deposited the woman’s check into an account of an individual who is not named in the complaint. The check had been altered, making the stranger the payee and the amount $8,700.

Other stolen checks were allegedly deposited by the three suspects in bank accounts of several strangers, using ATM machines on Lenox Avenue and Broadway in Manhattan.

MAILBOX TRAP SNARES CHECK WASHING SUSPECTS

A postal inspector recently used a simple device to catch three men suspected of stealing checks from mailboxes in Pelham and New Rochelle.

The device, a key trap, led to a federal grand jury indictment Nov. 26 against three Bronx men, Jonathan Ranfeil Jimenez, Martin DeJesus Reyes Maria and Mayobanex Reyes, on charges they stole more than $61,000 in a check washing scheme.

The men are accused of mail theft, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, aggravated identity theft and, for Jimenez and Maria, use of a stolen post office key.

In September 2018, postal inspector Michael Memoli installed a hidden camera near a mailbox outside the Pelham post office.

A few weeks later, two men were photographed using a postal key to get into the mailbox, and one could be seen carrying an Adidas duffel bag.

Memoli installed a key trap, a device that makes a key get stuck in a lock and requires special tools to remove.

The trap worked.

On Oct. 1, 2018, an off-duty Pelham police officer called for backup when he saw two men trying to open the mailbox. Officers chased and caught the men and recovered an Adidas duffel bag with about 300 pieces of mail.

Memoli retrieved the trapped key and traced the serial number to a key that had been missing from the New Rochelle post office.

He also reviewed surveillance footage from mailboxes in New Rochelle, taken shortly before the two men were arrested in Pelham.

The images show two men stealing mail and placing it in an Adidas duffel bag.

Police identified the suspects as Jimenez and Maria.

Using traditional investigative tools — police reports, postal records, bank records, surveillance footage, photographs and interviews — the inspector identified eight people who had mailed checks in Pelham, New Rochelle and Staten Island that ended up in strangers’ bank accounts.

The stolen checks appeared to have been “washed,” whereby checks were soaked in solvent to remove the ink and then filled in with new payee names and amounts. Then the checks were deposited into bank accounts, using ATM cards and the personal identification numbers of other people.

A New Rochelle woman, for instance, used a mailbox on Main Street to mail a check from her J.P. Morgan Chase bank account. On Sept. 7, 2018, Jimenez, Maria and Reyes were alleged-

In Court—

Universal Engineering Services, headed by Michael Gianatasio, accused the IDA of breach of contract and unjust enrichment in a complaint filed Nov. 22 in Westchester Supreme Court.

Universal Engineering Services was hired in 2016 to perform consulting services for the city at $150 per hour, under the direction of the mayor’s office and supervised by the commissioners of buildings and public works.

The complaint depicts Universal’s role as “oversight and development of quality management systems to meet the city of Mount Vernon’s goals for economic growth and opportunity.”

The actual Nov. 7, 2016, agreement describes the consultant’s role in broad and comprehensive terms: directing inspections, supervising code enforcement, issuing summons and assisting at hearings; recommending staff hiring, training, discipline and promotions; conducting staff meetings; formulating polices and rules; preparing reports for the mayor and helping with the annual budget.

Three weeks later, the agreement was amended to include drawings and plan review services for the IDA, also at $150 per hour.

Universal claims that the IDA never disputed the monthly invoices and reports, yet the agency has refused to pay $642,484 for services performed.

The complaint does not itemize the costs.

At $150 per hour, the bill works out to 4,283 hours, or the equivalent of two people working for more than a year.

Gianatasio reportedly has business connections with Joseph Spiezio III, a carting company owner who backed Thomas in his 2015 mayoral election campaign. Thomas named Spiezio as deputy police commissioner, at $1 a year, despite no law enforcement background.

He was fired in February.

Real estate developer Peter Fine accused Gianatasio in a 2017 federal lawsuit of carrying out a harassment campaign for Thomas, in a dispute over code enforcement at the La Porte Apartments construction project. Fine and his Blue Rio LLC alleged that Thomas used Universal to retaliate against the developer for not hiring a particular consultant and for speaking out about their dispute in the Westchester County Business Journal.

Thomas and Gianatasio denied the charges and filed a counterclaim alleging defamation. A judge dismissed a conspiracy claim against Thomas and Gianatasio in 2017, and last year everyone agreed to dismiss the remaining claims.

Thomas was removed from office in July, after he pleaded guilty to campaign finance-related misdemeanors. City Council President Andre Wallace became the acting mayor and serves as head of the IDA. Wallace did not immediately respond to email and telephone requests for comment on the Universal lawsuit.

Universal is represented by Kevin O’Connor of Peckar & Abramson PC of Manhattan.

Hedge fund exec Steve Cohen in talks to buy the New York Mets Neither the Mets nor Cohen provided the financial aspects of the transaction, which has yet to be finalized. Bloomberg News, citing an unnamed “person familiar with the matter,” reported the deal’s value would be a baseball record of $2.6 billion, with Cohen acquiring up to an 80% stake in the team. Forbes reported the Mets had $340 million in revenue during 2018 and a valuation of $2.3 billion.

The Mets won the National League pennant in 2000 and 2015, but have not won a World Series since 1986. Fred Wilpon and his brother-in-law Saul Katz bought their first stake in the Mets in 1980, with Wilpon becoming majority owner of the Mets in 2002. Cohen, whom Forbes estimated as being worth $13.6 billion, bought a 4% stake in the team in 2012 after a failed attempt to acquire the Los Angeles Dodgers.

reenwich resident and hedge fund executive Steve Cohen is in negotiations with the owners of the New York Mets to buy a majority stake of the Major League Baseball team.

The team’s ownership group, Sterling Partners, is run by the father-and-son team of Fred and Jeff Wilpon. The Mets issued a statement detailing that the transaction would enable Fred Wilpon to remain the Mets’ CEO and Jeff Wilpon as chief operating officer for the next five years.

Cohen, the president and CEO of Stamford’s Point72 Asset Management, will have his interest in the team managed by his family office, Cohen Private Ventures.

52% pay raise for Westchester legislators approved

Citi Field in New York.

Cohen’s previous firm, S.A.C. Capital Advisors, pleaded guilty to insider trading charges and paid a $1.8 billion fine in 2013, which the Department of Justice identified as the largest insider trading settlement in history.

In 2016, he settled a civil case with the Securities & Exchange Commission that prohibited him from managing outside money until 2018, at which time he relaunched S.A.C. as Point72.

IN BRIEF The Dutchess, a ‘secret’ hotel, listed for sale at $8.5M The Dutchess, a 14-room “secret” hotel in the Dutchess County hamlet of Staatsburg, has been listed for sale for $8.5 million.

The hotel is on a 252-acre property and is divided between a 7,200-square-foot, 10-room inn and spa within a structure that was originally a horse barn from the 1780s, and an 1,800-square-foot, four-room house built in the 1820s.

The property also includes a yoga barn in a 1,300-square-foot structure dating from 1759; an 18,000-square-foot arena that houses 18 horse stalls in two stables; a 3,200-squarefoot commercial kitchen with an adjacent herb garden; and a 650-square-foot pavilion for hosting parties and events.

The Dutchess is owned by Rameet

Chawla, the chairman of app development company Fueled. Unlike other hospitality venues, The Dutchess goes out of its way not to make itself ubiquitous through marketing. It has no social media accounts and its website is a single page consisting of a drawing of a key with the tag line “A Secret Experience in the Hudson Valley” and an email contact link.

The secrecy level is so acute that the property’s broker, Atelier Real Estate, does not identify The Dutchess by name on its listing page.

Thanks to his good union job, White Plains cleaner Amando Martinez and his wife Isabel Pineda can plan for their eldest son, David, to become the first in their family to go to college.

NINE AREA FIRMS MAKE NEWSWEEK’S ‘MOST RESPONSIBLE COMPANIES’ TALLY

Six Westchester County firms and three in Fairfield County have been named to Newsweek’s list of “America’s Most Responsible Companies.”

The list was based on publicly available key performance indicators derived from corporate social responsibility reports, sustainability reports and corporate citizenship reports as well as an independent survey. Analysis covered three sectors: environmental, social and corporate governance.

The survey evaluated 2,000 U.S. public companies with the top 300 making the final cut.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, based in Tarrytown, was the top Westchester company, coming in at No. 25 with a total score of 82.2.

It was followed by Xylem in Rye Brook (No. 55, 77.8); Mastercard in Purchase (No. 60, 77.4); IBM in White Plains (No. 67, 76.3); PepsiCo in Purchase (No. 188, 68); and ITT in White Plains (No. 269, 61.7).

In Fairfield County, XPO Logistics in Greenwich came in at No. 95 with a score of 73.9, followed by United Rentals in Stamford (No. 129, 71.3) and Xerox in Norwalk (No. 179, 69). United Rentals was founded by Bradley Jacobs, who is the founder, chairman and CEO of XPO. Topping the Newsweek survey was HP, based in Palo Alto, California, which scored 94.4. It was followed by Cisco Systems of San Jose, California (91.2) and Dell of Round Rock, Texas (90.3).

AG JAMES INTERVENES IN LAWSUIT ALLEGING ANTI-SEMITIC HOUSING DISCRIMINATION

New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit against the town of Chester and Orange County that alleged the localities engaged in discriminatory practices to prevent Hasidic Jewish families from moving into the area.

The lawsuit was filed in July by the developers of The Greens at Chester, a proposed housing development on 117 acres in Chester that would be marketed to Hasidic Jewish households. The land was bought in October 2017, but the developers accused the town and the county of conspiring to block the construction by passing a law that would restrict the size of the new houses in a manner that would make them uninhabitable.

The developers also accused the town and county of proposing extra taxes on the property, limiting the hours of construction at the site and providing personal information on the managing partners behind the project. The developers stated they met several extra requirements from the town and county, including the rerouting of a new sewer waste line and moving the main road by 10 feet, but were denied building permits.

Can money anxiety predict the economy?

s it possible to predict which way the economy is headed just by measuring the level of money anxiety?

The answer is yes, and the Money Anxiety Index can provide some insight.

It is a behavioral economics model that measures various indicators and factors associated with consumers’ level of financial worry and stress. It functions as an early-warning system for changes in the economy, allowing people to react in time to changes in the economic cycle.

The index predicted the arrival of the Great Recession over a year prior to the official declaration of the recession in December 2007.

It showed how consumers’ money anxiety was trending up starting in October 2006.

Money anxiety is a survival instinct that warns us of financial danger. It is the same instinct that told our ancestors to run when they faced a tiger in the woods. In modern society, our survival instincts are centered on money which enables us to obtain life’s necessities such as food, shelter and clothing.

Scientific studies confirm that people have two modes of decision-making — analytical and instinctive.

The analytical mode is slow and cumbersome and requires concentrated effort, which is why we can perform only one analytical task at a time such as filling out a tax return form.

The instinctive mode is fast and effortless, allowing us to handle mul-

2018 tiple instinctive tasks at the same time such as driving and talking on the phone.

People tend to make instinctive financial decisions when their level of money anxiety is elevated, and analytical financial decisions when their level of money anxiety is low.

Many people make wrong financial decisions during times of high money anxiety.

2019 The latest observation of the index is that a likely recession was prevented in early 2019 by cuts in the Fed’s funds rate that reduced the level of money anxiety and kept consumer consumption strong. The index jumped 2.1 points after the Fed increased the funds rate at their last FOMC meeting of 2018. The index continued to rise by an additional 2.3 index points in January,

reflecting a growing financial anxiety by consumers.

The turning point came when Fed Chair Jerome Powell addressed the Economic Club of Washington, D.C. on Jan. 10 stating that, “You should anticipate that we’re going to be patient and watching and waiting and seeing.”

Powell’s statement and the Federal Open Market Committee

(FOMC) decision to leave the funds rate unchanged in their meeting on Jan. 29-30 alleviated some of the financial anxiety of consumers, and pushed the index down 2.2 points in February. The three subsequent Fed rate cuts in July, September and October of this year reduced the index to its lowest level in 50 years.

The index, which declined 1.7 points from 43.6 to 41.9 in the third quarter, reflects high financial confidence and enabled consumers to increase their third-quarter spending by a 2.9% annualized rate.

However, a prominent consumer sentiment survey, which is based on what people say in response to a questionnaire, shows a decline in consumer confidence during the third quarter. The survey shows a decline of 5.2 points, from 98.4 to 93.2, which means lower financial confidence.

It is an economic impossibility that consumers with lower financial confidence will increase their spending. For the sake of accuracy, it’s time that the business community and the media start referring to hard-data indices, such as the Money Anxiety Index, for financial confidence.

The index is likely to have some fluctuations in the next few months due to trade and global economic issues. However, it does not appear that such fluctuations are going to impact the financial confidence of people and their consumption levels.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER | By Jason Berg

Worry first about employees and last about money

hile it’s hard to spend money before you’re making it, you can evolve your business by reinvesting back into it. Doing so frequently and meaningfully can catalyze success, build wealth and earn bountiful returns.

What does reinvestment look like?

There are numerous ways to add value to your company and ultimately to your customers, by reallocating profits toward growth, human resources and expansion. By considering ways to improve your services, products and facilities, you may find that reinvesting in a certain area will help retain and attract new customers.

If your parking lot is rid-

dled with potholes and the lines have faded over time, it might be time to consider re-paving. This will lead to a smoother and safer customer experience. Or perhaps your community lacks a professional service that you could offer by expanding your staff and hiring a specialist in that area. Neglecting to reinvest can lead to stagnation and stunted development, which can ultimately hinder your success.

While the needs of each business differ, there are ways to reinvest that can be applied across the board.

VALUE YOUR EMPLOYEES

Employees are the lifeblood of every business and attracting, training and retaining talented workers is crucial. Without a dedicated

staff, the wheels stop turning and the entire operation suffers. Worry first about your employees and last about money. Ensure that you are compensating them fairly for their work, providing education and training as well as regular opportunities for growth within the organization. By offering these benefits you are more likely to attract top talent that will draw more customers and boost the company’s bottom line.

Some ways of showing appreciation seem minor but can raise morale. If employees feel valued and respected you will have a better chance of retaining them. At my business, Guardian Veterinary Specialists, everyone who achieves “employee of the

month” status receives a small bonus and is added into a year-end pool to win a cruise for them and a guest.

Employees are also treated to lunch once per week and bagels on Wednesdays.

Showing appreciation for their hard work is a worthy investment.

IMPROVE AND EXPAND

While it is tempting to settle into a business pattern that works, it’s important to reflect about ways to improve, grow and expand operations. Talk to your customers, employees, patients, vendors, etc. Ask them how you can enhance their experience. Perhaps your building needs repairs or your technolo�y needs to be upgraded.

Commit to regularly making improvements, even on a

small scale, and you will gain an edge in your market.

SEEK FINANCIAL SUPPORT

Allocating funds back into your business can be difficult without the support of a bank or financial institution. To expand and improve Guardian Veterinary Specialists, I searched for a local lending program that would allow me to make upgrades, hire top talent and provide much needed services to customers. I chose to partner with Tompkins Mahopac Bank, which offers a Healthcare Practitioner Lending Program that was created to support those in the health care field. Tompkins was helpful throughout the application process and beyond. I was able to expand

our facility and add value to my customers.

While spending money can seem daunting, allocating funds toward employees and operational improvements creates a stream of wealth that will benefit your business for many years to come.

Dr. Jason Berg is a board-certified neurologist and internist who has more than 22 years of experience as a practicing veterinary specialist, business founder and owner. In 2018, Dr. Berg founded Guardian Veterinary Specialists, a 29,000-square-foot emergency, critical care and specialty hospital in Brewster that serves referring primary care veterinarians and pet owners throughout New York and Connecticut.

ASK ANDI CRM for more business I KNOW THAT BEFORE WE CAN FOCUS ON CLOSING SALES WE HAVE TO BUTTON THINGS UP WITH PUTTING LEADS ON THE TABLE AND KEEPING TRACK OF THEM. A COUPLE OF PROPOSALS AND FOLLOW-UPS SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS RECENTLY, WHICH HAS ME WORRIED. WANT TO WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER. NEED A SYSTEM TO KNOW HOW WE’RE DOING WITH THE POTENTIAL SALES WE’RE WORKING TO GET. THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Marketing precedes sales. Build a system for tracking opportunities. Work that system to generate new business. Figure out how many opportunities convert from one stage of the pipeline to the next. Use the historical data to determine how much you need at every stage of the pipeline to hit your goals.

Marketing is probably the broadest topic any business deals with — even more complex than the work it does to support itself.

Marketing is about: • How to generate new business.

• How to connect with people who might want to buy from you.

• How to position your services competitively.

• What kinds of new business opportunities to go after.

• What customers value about your company.

• Why some customers go elsewhere.

We’re going to focus on a narrow slice of the marketing puzzle: keeping track of leads.

How to keep track of people you’ve connected with and how to know if they’re moving efficiently from initial contact to close for a sale. That’s an essential question in marketing. Many companies bleed away opportunity that they could have closed because they don’t do a good enough job at keeping track.

Build a customer relationship management (CRM) system to record prospects and monitor their progress from initial contact to close. Make sure no one gets overlooked, follow-ups happen on time, and when a potential sale stalls, someone can know that and address issues that may have come up.

For most companies, improving the ability to keep track of leads will result in additional sales. Often a few additional sales per year will more than pay for the CRM investment.

There are lots of systems on the market.

Do demos to learn about the features and benefits of each. Talk to peers about what they use. Pick a system and try it. If it works, keep going with it. If it doesn’t work, try a different system. Whatever system you choose, make sure you engage your entire team.

Build a database of contacts. Agree on stages that prospects go through from initial contact to close. Stages might include: • Name on a list.

• Started marketing to the list.

• Made initial contact.

• Identified needs.

• Created a proposal.

• Closed for new business.

A good CRM system can help you with stages to track. Teach your employees how to log and update leads in your new system.

Figure out how to use the reports to know what’s going on and to identify what needs additional attention.

Consider big marketing questions you’d like to know the answer to. For example:

your database to get those closes.

• How many people did you speak with to close a sale?

• How many people on a list will be interested in what we do?

• On average, how long does it take to gather information about a prospect’s needs, write and deliver a proposal, close a sale?

These questions can be answered with data that you’re going to gather in your new CRM system.

The historical data in the CRM system can tell you about conversion ratios: how many opportunities convert from one stage to the next. Using that data, you can work backwards. Decide how many closes you need in the coming year and you’ll be able to predict how many names on a list you need to add to

The Project IMPACT (Improving Parenting Achievements Together) program run by the Westchester Institute for Human Development (WIHD) in collaboration with the Westchester County Department of Social Services has achieved impressive results with 98% of the families who complete the program keeping their children out of foster care more than a year later.

Last month child welfare professionals from across the region and beyond met at the Westchester Institute in Valhalla to talk about how to support parents with intellectual disabilities and examine the success of Project IMPACT and whether it might be copied in other places, including New York City.

The program, which started in 2006, provides a master’s level social worker, under

the supervision of a clinical psychologist, to work with parents in their homes three times a week for four to six months on parenting and practical skills. Parents enrolled in the program were at risk of losing their children after being identified by child welfare for abuse or neglect. The typical parent in the program has a full-scale average IQ of 65 and has two to three children.

Serving as an outlet for therapeutic and

artistic healing, Astor’s Expressive Arts Program uses painting, drawing, clay and sculpture to create an environment of free thinking and expression for the children it serves.

Astor serves more than 10,000 children and families annually since its founding in 1953.

A Westchester-based boutique public relations and marketing firm that services the New York-metro area and beyond, Buzz Creators Inc. is celebrating 10 years of helping businesses share their stories.

The spike in recent business growth has prompted the firm to move into a larger new office space.

NYMC CENTER FOR DISASTER MEDICINE Emergency department clinicians and other medical professionals from Kaleida Health and varied health care facilities in the western New York region recently participated in an eight-hour Principles and Application of Mass Casualty course hosted by Kaleida Health and Finger Lakes Regional Resource and Training Center.

Taught by faculty of the New York Medical College (NYMC) Center for Disaster Medicine (CDM), the course was designed to refresh the knowledge of medical professionals responsible for the initial triage of victims following a mass casualty incident.

New literature in emergency and disaster medicine following recent mass shootings, bombings and other disasters suggests that emergency departments may be underprepared for the influx of “self-referred” patients following a mass casualty event. A “self-referred” patient is a victim who self-evaluates and bypasses the on-scene triage, treatment and prioritized transport procedures initiated

by EMS agencies. Acute care hospitals need to be equipped to address an influx of “walk-in” patients whose sheer numbers might overwhelm the hospital’s capacity and capabilities and slow or impair the response to more critically injured patients. The training course focused on prioritizing patient care based on the capacity for surgical intervention, critical care admission or stabilization in the emergency department.

Information for these features has been submitted by the subjects or their delegates.
