“W

hen you shut down the private side of construction, you lose a big component of the money that flows through the construction industry,” John Cooney Jr., executive director of the Construction Industry Council (CIC) of Westchester and Hudson Valley Inc., told the Business Journal.

He estimated that 30% to 40% of the volume in the industry is driven by private projects with public funding driving the majority of the activity. The entire construction industry in New York state had been deemed essential until March 27, when Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced a change in the rules regarding whether a business enterprise is subject to workforce reduction as part of the effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.

The revision stated, “All non essential construction must shut down except emergency construction, (e.g., a project necessary to protect health and safety of the occupants, or to continue a project if it would be unsafe to allow to remain undone until it is safe to shut the site).” An exception is made for construction work or sites where there is only one worker. A self-employed carpenter, for example, could continue with his or her business as usual or if something at a private or commercial construction site needed to be done and only involved one worker.

“Essential construction may continue and includes roads, bridges, transit facilities, utilities, hospitals or health care facilities, affordable housing and homeless shelters,” the revised guidance said.

“At every site, if essential or emergency non essential construction, this includes main-

taining social distance, including for purposes of elevators/meals/ entry and exit. Sites that cannot maintain distance and safety best practices must close and enforcement will be provided by the state in coordination with the city/local governments. This will include fines of up to $10,000 per violation,” the state's new guidance said.

Cooney said his group’s members don't take for granted that they're still able to continue functioning, albeit in a limited way.

“We're learning things here that can be a best practice for any kind of virus mitigation. Some of the practices that are now being put in place can remain as part of the safety protocol of job sites and our contractors,” Cooney said.

Cooney said some of the measures, such as keeping workers as far apart as possible and adding sanitizing protocols, can slow production to some degree, but the

industry is great and innovating.

“I expect that the learning curve will be steep but effective,” he said. “There is more time spent implementing and putting new procedures in place to make sure we are compliant. There probably are some slowdowns occurring as we figure out how to do things.”

Cooney said during the crisis the CIC has been acting as a sounding board for questions regarding regulations.

“We disseminate information as fast as we can get it out to our contractors, so they stay safe and know what the requirements are,” Cooney said.

He said despite the cutback in the types of projects where construction can continue, the industry is very much aware of its critical role.

“We appreciate the opportunity to be out there working on the state and local infrastructure, which is important,” he said.

Unemployment claims ‘like a punch in the face’ world will have to pull out all the stops to prevent what currently looks like an inevitable recession from turning into a depression,” Joachim Fels, the global economic adviser at Pacific Investment Management Co., wrote in a note to clients. That could send financial markets from “a drawdown to a meltdown.”

The new base-case scenario from Morgan Stanley sees global GDP growth coming in at 0.9% for the year.

UBS believes first-quarter U.S. GDP declined 2.1% and predicts an almost 10% contraction during the second quarter.

P

eople knew well in advance that the news released on March 26 would be devastating.

But when the actual number was revealed, there was no doubt that we had experienced a crushing blow to the U.S. economy that felt like a punch in the face.

A total of 3.283 million people during the previous week filed unemployment claims.

The number shattered the previous record.

In October 1982, the weekly total of initial unemployment claims reached 695,000. Claims have been tracked for a half-century.

Before the March 26 announcement, data revealed that for the week ending March 14, jobless claims jumped by 70,000 to 281,000.

Roughly one month ago, about 200,000 people applied for benefits, which was an historically low total.

The bottom-line consensus among economists is that a recession is unavoidable. What has yet to be seen regarding the recession is how long and how severe it will be.

And behind the cold statistics are people, families and businesses that have been slammed. All of those impacted are facing uncertainty and anxiety regarding their current situation and what the future may hold.

The newly unemployed will face more than the loss of income. Now people must deal with the challenges and emotional roller coaster that are part of a prolonged job search. The lack of purpose and regimentation that go along with the workday will also have to be managed.

Predictions published by Markets Insider include: The U.S. economy has stopped growing and likely will remain in a recession until October, according to economists at the UCLA Anderson School of Management.

Goldman Sachs expects that U.S. GDP will plunge 34% during the second quarter.

A drop of that magnitude would be a record.

Deutsche Bank says the U.S. economy will grow a mere 0.6% during the first quarter.

Then it will fall into a 12.9% contraction.

JPMorgan expects U.S. GDP will shrink 2% during the first quarter and 3% in the second.

Bank of America economists led by Michelle Meyer wrote in a note, “We believe that the U.S. economy has fallen into recession, joining the rest of the world, and it is a deep plunge.” They forecast U.S. GDP will fall 12% in the second quarter, after rising only 0.5% in the first quarter. The bank is predicting a contraction of 0.8% for the year.

Connecticut facing ‘horrible month’

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

E

ven with the passage of the $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and a trickle of PPE (personal protective equipment), Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont said, “I think that April is going to be a horrible month."

During a March 31 briefing he said he had been informed that the strategic national stockpile of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies “is empty."

While the state received an additional 50 ventilators, “For now we are on our own,” he said. “We are scouring the globe for PPE as best we can.

As your governor, this breaks my heart.”

Last week, Lamont visited Bio-Med Devices in Guilford. Its president and CEO Dean Bennett said his company is “going to provide the state of Connecticut with 100 (ventilators) right away and then as we ramp up production we hope to be able to supply more if they’re needed.”

The federal government took a shipment away from the state, Lamont said in Guilford.

“We had 1,000 ventilators, 1,500 ventilators on order, ready to go,” he said.

“We have about 950 in the state right now. Agreed, shipped, ready to go. And guess what? We found out ... they said, ‘Sorry, we rerouted your shipment. Your case is not as urgent as other places right now.’ " As for the $1.5 billion that CARES will provide for Connecticut, Lamont said it would probably be three-plus weeks before that money arrives.

As of March 31, the state had 3,128 positive cases of about 15,600 tests. One of those testing positive was Bristol Hospital President Kurt Barwis, who is self-quarantining at his Bristol home.

The state had 69 deaths.

RETROACTIVE BENEFITS

Lamont said the state has recorded more than 100,000 unemployment claims since the pandemic began, and there is a five-week lag time in processing those claims.

He said benefits would be paid on a retroactive basis.

Lamont announced an agreement with about 65 credit unions and banks in Connecticut to offer mortgage relief to residents and businesses that continue to face hardship caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

The following relief policies are being offered by participating financial institutions: • They are offering mortgage-payment forbearanc-

es of up to 90 days, which will allow homeowners to reduce or delay monthly mortgage payments. In addition, the institutions will: provide a streamlined process for requesting forbearance for COVID-19-related reasons, supported with available documentation; confirm approval and terms of forbearance programs; and provide the opportunity to extend forbearance agreements if faced with continued hardship resulting from COVID-19.

• For at least 90 days, they will waive or refund mortgage-related late fees and other fees, including early CD withdrawals.

• No new foreclosures for 60 days.

• Late or missed payments will not be shared with credit reporting agencies.

Institutions participating include Webster Bank, American Eagle Financial Credit Union, Liberty Bank, Charter Oak Federal Credit Union, Bank of America, Nutmeg State Financial Credit Union and People’s United Bank.

Credit Union League President and CEO Bruce Adams said 40 credit unions representing some 650,000 customers — about twothirds of the state’s total — had joined the initiative, and Bankers Association President and CEO Tom

Mongellow said of the state’s 52 banks, 25 had joined. Both said they expect additional institutions to join.

Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner David Lehman suspended the Connecticut Recovery Bridge Loan Program one day after its launch, following an overwhelming number of applications. Lehman said the program would soon relaunch with twice the funding, at $50 million.

On March 29 came word that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) granted Lamont’s request for a major disaster declaration, unlocking additional federal assistance programs.

Impacted state agencies and municipalities will be reimbursed for 75% of the costs associated with their response and emergency protective measures.

Lamont announced on March 30 the creation of his Health System Response Team, co-chaired by the CEOs of three of the largest hospital systems in Connecticut — Hartford HealthCare, Nuvance Health

and Yale New Haven Health.

The health care leaders will provide advice on the allocation and distribution of resources, supplies and personnel during the emergency.

Expectations are that as cases pass their peak in southern Connecticut, more cases will be seen further north.

MOBILE HOSPITALS

A 250-bed mobile hospital from FEMA was being built inside the Moore Fieldhouse on the Southern Connecticut State University campus, while the National Guard is scheduled to start erecting a 25-bed unit at Middlesex Memorial Hospital. The others are at St. Francis Hospital and Danbury Hospital.

The state is also retrofitting at least one Western Connecticut State University dorm in Danbury to include 200 to 250 beds for Danbury Hospital overflow.

UNEMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK

More than 47 million people could lose their jobs by the end of June, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Bank economist

Miguel Faria-e-Castro estimates the nation could see an unemployment rate in the second quarter of 32.1%, well above the Great Depression’s peak of 24.9%.

“One can argue that the expected duration of unemployment matters more than the unemployment rate itself, especially if the recovery is quick,” Faria-e-Castro wrote. “These are very large numbers by historical standards, but this is a rather unique shock that is unlike any other experienced by the U.S. economy in the last 100 years.”

STORES SLAMMED

Macy’s, Kohl’s and Gap are among the latest major retailers to announce they are furloughing large swaths of their workforces, along with Gannett, publisher of USA Today and The Journal News in White Plains, Bridgeport’s wholesale bakery Lecoq Cuisine Corp. and the Mystic Seaport Museum.

President Donald Trump tweeted on March 31 that the U.S. should spend another $2 trillion on an infrastructure package.

The Value of Cash Forecasting

BY GLENN J. KALINOSKI gkalinoski@westfairinc.com

A

n economist speaking recently to a radio audience had two words of advice: don’t panic.

The advice came from Dr. Bob Goodman, whose background includes having served as an economist at Citibank and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

He spoke March 21 on “Constructive Conversations With the Building and Realty Institute,” which is broadcast every Saturday night on WABC (770 AM).

The first question he faced was if there is any way the U.S. economy can avoid a recession amid the COVID-19 pandemic that has frozen vast segments of the economy.

“You have most likely started a recession (in March),” he said. “It’s easy to get confused, upset and frightened.”

He compared the battering of the U.S. economy to a fleet of ships going across the Atlantic Ocean.

“Out of the blue a rogue wave hits the ship broadside,” he said. “The big ship will rock all the way over to one side and all the way over to the other side. It will become very unpleasant. All the instruments will be spin-

ning around.

Ultimately, that large ship stabilizes long after the rogue wave is gone. Over time you will complete your voyage safely.

“This came out of the blue and totally destabilized our economy. We did not hit an iceberg. A nuclear war would be an iceberg. Do not jump overboard.”

His prediction: “We could see GDP drop by 10% or even 15% at an annual rate.”

A harbinger of what may be coming arrived on March 26, when it was announced that weekly initial jobless claims for the week ended March 21 shattered the old record, reaching almost 3.3 million.

“If you make decisions in panic, 9 out of 10 times those decisions are going to be wrong,” he said. “This is going to be a very rough period of time. Comparisons to (2008) will not be relevant.”

Goodman was referring to the Great Recession when unemployment reached 10%.

“We have two ways of dealing with this,” he said.

“Monetary policy… and ... fiscal policy. The doubt comes on the fiscal side. You’re dealing with a trillion-dollar deficit to begin with.

“Our GDP is about $23 trillion, at least before these events, (and) 25% of our workforce is going to be laid off.”

With the severe drop in stock prices, he said, “for people with a long time horizon, this could be a once- or twice-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It will not be a (V-shaped) recovery. It will look something like a hockey stick on its side. The down movement and then a very slow recovery over at least three or four or five years, maybe longer.

“The key is the allocation of your assets. They should be allocated in the amount of risk you can afford to take and the amount of risk you need. The older you are, the less risk you can afford to take. For the young (listener) this could be the opportunity of a lifetime.”

When asked about attractive investment opportunities, he mentioned health care, utilities and necessities.

“I’ve got about 25% in equity total because I am up there in age,” he said.

He said managers and executives at businesses of all sizes will take a fresh look at how, and where, employees carry out their assignments.

“If it weren’t for the technology we developed over the past 15 years, we couldn’t be working at home,” he said.

“There are many companies finding out their workforce can be just as productive from home. Why have all that office space?”

Stress is knowing that you have a problem and not knowing how to solve it. Real stress is not knowing you have a problem and having to come up with a solution on the fly.

As we approach the next month, focusing on short and medium-term cash and liquidity management will increase in importance. Plotting the inflows and outflows of cash, understanding liquidity and availability, managing short-term needs, and driving medium-term cash management decisions, may require a shift in focus from tracking profits to ensuring there is sufficient liquidity for the company’s operations.

There are a number of routine practices that should be reviewed and, when appropriate, enhanced immediately, they include: • Talk to your major customers and suppliers. Find out what is going on with them and how they will be adjusting to the new realities.

• Enhance your credit checks. Set and communicate limits, then live by them.

• Be wary of extraordinary or risk-laden orders or service requests. Get up-front payments or retainers.

• Spend time every day on collection calls. Have a dedicated process, better yet, a dedicated person to accelerate the collection of receivables. Don’t let yourself become another’s bank.

• Resolve billing differences and customer questions quickly.

• Review vendor payment terms, looking for opportunities to save cash (discounts) or extend payments.

• Talk to your banker. Know your availability and accessibility to additional funding.

These are great techniques for managing the day to day. However, to provide the vision and tools you will need to manage the your cash flow during turbulent times, cash forecasting, particularly a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast, is an essential and valuable tool.

The primary objective of cash flow forecasting is to assist you with managing liquidity and providing vision as to whether the business has the necessary cash to meet its obligations and avoid funding issues. Proper use of cash forecasting strengthens your decision making process, identifies potential shortfalls and cash needs, and provides you with the opportunity to proactively manage potential issues.

A rolling 13-week forecast provides you with this vision from next week to the end of a quarter. While the most accurate information is this week or next, the rolling forecast allows you to adjust the forecasts underlying assumptions on a weekly basis, creating the ability to adjust real time to evolving business environments.

Forecasting requires a number key elements: • Understanding of past practices and trends in collections and payment terms. While what happens next is not a certainty, using your past history as a baseline is a great starting point.

• Consideration of potential changes to the business environment and operations. Talking to your major customers, vendors, and competitors

will give you real time information as to what is going on in your ecosystem.

• Disciplined approach to forecasting, reviewing, and updating your financial activity. Forecasts need to be updated real time for information that becomes apparent as the weeks go by. Setting up a set time to review with your management team and advisor(s) creates the discipline to review and utilize this information to make real time management decisions.

• Getting the right people involved.

Although systems are important, buy-in and engagement of your management team will dictate how successful your cash forecasting process will be.

Involving your key people who will be execute on changes in direction will ensure buy-in.

The real value with rolling cash forecast is in using it as a decision-making tool. While forecasting is an inherently imprecise activity, it is extremely useful in identifying trends, understanding the approximate timing of cash needs, and as an analytic tool in evaluating operational changes.

Forecasts do not have to be accurate to be worth the trouble of creating and maintaining them. By elevating the importance of having your management teams discuss the risks they face and consider the resources needed to avoid or mitigate issues or pursue opportunities that might emerge, you will have created a disciplined focus on helping your company develop and execute a plan for situations that may arise.

Westchester—

of just over 1% of the county’s population.

The 50-year-old attorney from New Rochelle, Lewis Garbuz, who was at the center of that city’s initial cluster of cases, was discharged from NewYork-Presbyterian/ Columbia University Irving Medical Center and was recovering at home.

Efforts are continuing to ensure there are enough hospital beds in the county for the apex of the disease that some forecasting models suggested could come around the middle to end of April.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and New York state have been making rapid progress in turning the Westchester County Center into a temporary hospital, according to Latimer.

“They’re starting to frame out the different rooms on the floor where we most recently played Section 1 (high school) basketball,” Latimer said. “There are four tents out on the parking lot.

Con Edison has installed new transformers to handle the additional power need which

the temporary hospital will need over and above what’s usually provided for the County Center.”

The facility will add 100 beds to Westchester’s inventory, which includes approximately 3,000 in the area’s hospitals. The state has mandated that hospitals increase their capacity by at least 50%, which should bring the county up to at least 4,500 beds.

The Army Corps will be building eight emergency hospital facilities in the New York City area.

FIRST RESPONDERS

Latimer outlined new guidance that was issued regarding protection of first responders. It calls for all first responders to screen themselves before and after working a shift including measuring body temperature and assessing for cough, difficulty breathing, gastrointestinal distress and other anomalies. In addition to whenever possible maintaining a 6-foot distance from co-workers and members of the public, first responders should use a surgical mask when interacting with the public or co-workers, especially when they’re in close proximity in a

vehicle or other settings. The first responders are instructed when arriving on scene to promptly place a surgical mask on the patient.

The guidance urges that the number of responders be reduced to the minimum necessary. When interacting with a known or suspected COVID19 case, they are reminded to have appropriate protective equipment, including N95 respirator, eye shield, goggles, gloves and gowns.

Latimer reported that on one day, Yonkers, with a population of about 202,000, was reported to have had 608 cases, while White Plains, with a population of about 59,047, had 170 cases.

Bronxville, with a population of about 6,547, had 21 cases.

TRANSPORTATION

The county’s Bee-Line bus service saw ridership fall dramatically and cut back on service. In an effort to enforce social distancing, it roped off the front of each bus to keep passengers away from the drivers and eliminated fare collections.

After reports of groups congregating at the plaza in front of the Kensico Dam in Valhalla, Latimer urged

the public to stop such risky behavior and threatened to close county parks if necessary.

Most construction work in the county ground to a halt after Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared that not all construction work was essential and non-essential work needed to be stopped as of March 27.

“Essential construction may continue and includes roads, bridges, transit facilities, utilities, hospitals or health care facilities, affordable housing and homeless shelters,” the revised guidance said.

“When you shut down the private side of construction, you lose a big component of the money that flows through the construction industry,” John Cooney, Jr., executive director of the Construction Industry Council of Westchester and Hudson Valley, Inc., told the Business Journal.

School closings in New York were extended until the end of April.

Cuomo said the number of retired or former health care professionals who have volunteered their services during the crisis has grown to more than 78,000.

Cuomo said the state has ordered 17,000 ventilators from China, but only has a firm expectation that it will receive 2,500. He again called for a national purchasing effort instead of having each state competing with each other and also competing against the federal government for goods.

Cuomo denied Trump’s claim that the two had talked on the phone about quarantining the state of New York and parts of Connecticut and New Jersey.

Trump had told reporters that they had talked and he was considering doing it. He backed down and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a voluntary travel advisory.

It stated, “The CDC urges residents of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to refrain from nonessential domestic travel for 14 days effective immediately.”

UNEMPLOYMENT

More than 80,000 New Yorkers made new unemployment insurance claims in the week ending March 21.

Cuomo was highly critical of U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer and the rest of the

state’s Washington representatives for not protecting the state’s financial interests.

He said the first COVID-19 recovery bill that became law disqualified New York state from Medicaid funding and the $2 trillion aid package gave New York state the equivalent of 1.9% of its state budget while other states got 10% or 20% of their state budgets in federal aid.

The presidential primary scheduled for April 28 was delayed until June 23. It will coincide with the state legislative and congressional primaries that had already been scheduled for that date.

The state has moved the deadline for filing taxes to July 15, which coincides with what the federal government has done.

The state is administering 1,100 tests of the combination of drugs hydroxychloroquine and zithromax to see if they have any effect in combating the virus. The state Department of Health has received approval to go ahead with a test to recover antibodies from the blood of people who have had COVID19 and see whether the antibodies can be used to help others fight off the virus.

Business Council of Fairfield County had considered closing before coronavirus

lthough the COVID-19 crisis played a major role in The Business Council of Fairfield County’s (BCFC) decision to close, discussions about possibly shuttering it had been going on for several weeks, according to James Fitzgerald, the council’s board chairman.

Speaking exclusively with the Business Journal, Fitzgerald said the announcement was the culmination of “our having discussions about the future of the council for some period of time.”

While not providing specifics, Fitzgerald said the council’s finances had

6

APRIL 6, 2020

been a cause of concern for some time.

“Then along comes this coronavirus,” he said. “That wasn’t the reason for going forward with the dissolution, but it was certainly the tipping point — an infrastructure shock to the system. The virus was so vicious in terms of the impact it’s had over a short period of time.”

The Stamford nonprofit, which was formed in 1970, had hired Erin Flynn as its new president and CEO in January, after Chris Bruhl retired from that position after 30 years.

Asked if Flynn had known about the council’s shaky foundations before taking the job, Fitzgerald said, “She was aware. But would we have hired her if we had

WCBJ

known what was going to happen? The answer is no.”

Flynn had relocated to the area from Portland, Oregon, to take the position.

Fitzgerald indicated that its final chapter may not have been written.

“It’s a little too soon (to discuss a possible resurrection after the coronavirus crisis has passed), but there are all sorts of ideas flying out.

We’ll evaluate them when it’s appropriate,” Fitzgerald said.

A leader at another area nonprofit had recently opined off the record that executives like Bruhl and Business Council Vice President, Public Policy and Programs Joe McGee had essentially bankrupted the organization through salaries and bonuses. The

Business Council had denied those rumors.

A review of the nonprofit’s Form 990 — the IRS form that provides the public with financial information about a nonprofit organization — revealed that for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, the Business Council listed $1,417,551 in salaries, with year-end assets of $501,573 and liabilities of $1,379,111.

For the year ending June 30, 2017, salaries were listed at $1,471,867, with year-end assets of $324,249 and liabilities of $1,789,766. For the year ending June 30, 2018 — the last year to be made publicly available — salaries were put at $1,471,339, with year-end assets of $187,716 and liabilities of $1,594,635.

Bruhl was paid $369,695

in salary in FY 2017-18; $359,533 in salary in FY 201617; and $347,379 in salary in FY 2015-16.

McGee received $254,648 in salary and $35,905 in other compensation in FY 2017-18; $243,503 in salary and $37,609 in other compensation in FY 2016-17; and $233,685 in salary and $51,574 in other compensation in FY 2015-16.

For FY 2017-18, The Business Council of Fairfield County Foundation showed $991,275 in assets and $112,923 in liabilities, with Bruhl listed as receiving $57,442; for FY 2016-17, it listed $789,480 in assets and $13,414 in liabilities, with Bruhl receiving $53,112; and for FY 2015-16, it reported $320,628 in assets and $2,286 in liabilities, with

Bruhl receiving $53,557.

Asked again for comment, a Business Council representative said: “While it is hard to understand how a 50-year-old business organization can undergo this, the real issue was the BCFC business model in light of the changing nature of the economy. We have a different economy now — not weaker, but different.

“The BCFC was built on a traditional membership association model with membership dues based on number of employees. While the BCFC had begun to implement changes as the business base changed, it didn’t change fast enough. The halt of business activity we are seeing as a result of the pandemic has accelerated that.”

Wegmans postpones opening in Harrison

Connecticut employers are prohibited from asking prospective employees about past wage rates

S

ince Jan. 1, 2019, Connecticut has prohibited employers from asking prospective employees about their past wages or the value of other types of compensation they received at their last job.

The logic behind the law is by setting employees’ compensation levels based on what they were paid at their last job, employers may unknowingly or unintentionally perpetuate gender discrimination that began long ago. With this inquiry being so ingrained in the way employers have brought on new employees (not to mention how easy it is to forget this question is on many job applications), we have found many employers are either unaware of this prohibition or have simply forgotten it exists. Here’s what you need to know.

THE STATUTE

In May 2018, then-Gov. Dannel Malloy signed into law Public Act No. 18-8, “An Act Concerning Pay Equity.”

The law is part of the Equal Pay movement that has been sweeping the country aiming to bridge the gap between the genders and their respective paychecks. The law took effect Jan. 1 of this year.

Under the law, an employer is any entity with one employee or more. An employer could be an individual, corporation, limited liability company, firm, partnership, public corporation, joint stock association or voluntary association. While “prospective employee” is not defined by the statute, it would appear to encompass any individual who submits a job appli-

cation or participates in an interview.

Under the law, employers cannot ask, either directly or through a third party, about a prospective employee’s prior salary/compensation. The law also prohibits asking about the value of other elements of their prior compensation structure, such as health insurance, stock options, retirement benefits, etc. However, the prohibition does not apply if the prospective employee voluntarily discloses the information or if an employer is specifically authorized to make these inquiries by a federal or state law.

THE TAKEAWAY

Employers should review their applications to make sure there is no request for this type of

information. If you think you already checked once, check again. Something like this can be easily missed.

Also, employers should review and revise, if needed, their hiring practices to ensure compliance with the law. The Equal Pay movement is huge right now, and more and more states and municipalities are passing these types of laws. Before long, we expect these types of laws to be the rule, rather than the exception.

Logistics industry scrambling to address shifting needs worldwide GREENWICH’S XPO LOGISTICS HAS IMPLEMENTED A BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

T

he logistics industry is facing two major challenges during the COVID-19 crisis: trying to navigate the fluctuating needs of its customers around the globe, and keeping its workers safe.

“In certain sectors like food and beverage, we’re obviously seeing an increase in volume,” said Bob Boyle, vice president, North America Managed Logistics Services (MLS) at Danbury’s Odyssey Logistics & Technology Corp. “With all the retail churn going on right now, we’re seeing a lot of consumables.”

With so many manufacturers of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the like in the supply chain, Boyle said the firm is also seeing an increase in those products, “with everyone ramping up to full capacity.”

The transport sector’s global trade has been impacted as limitations have been put into place. U.S. retailers are running low on imported goods, especially those made in China, as 70% of shoes sold in the U.S. are made in that country. According to the Footwear Distributors & Retailers of America, U.S. footwear imports from China were down by 15.7% in January, the worst year-overyear decline in four years.

Manufacturers are also seeing dwindling amounts of the imported component parts needed for production, while exporters — especially in the agriculture field — are facing their own logistical challenges.

The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), the agency responsible for regulating the nation’s international ocean transportation, is monitoring the incidents of “blanked sailings” (canceled shipments) between the U.S. and China. It report-

ed that, based on its consultations with ocean carriers, transpacific cargo levels and services seem to be returning to pre-virus levels.

“I was heartened to hear that shipping lines have indicated that there is cargo for pickup and that trucking and port operations have substantially resumed in China,” FMC Commissioner Carl Bentzel said. “I remain concerned that there will continue to be negative economic impacts as a result of delays as shipments transit the Pacific from China.

"Our ability to recover from this economic disruption through the resumption of maritime commerce underscores the criticality and importance of our maritime trade. We have to make sure that our policies continue to allow these vital functions to continue.”

On March 27, the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) took actions to identify what should be considered the “essential critical

infrastructure industry.”

Bentzel said he expects the listing “should clarify that our transportation system workers working as longshoremen, trucking, railroad employees and other affiliated organizations such as truck and rest stop operators, should be exempted from restrictions that restrict their abilities to function.

“The transportation industry continues to be invaluable to supply U.S. citizens as they are sheltered.”

The American Trucking Associations asked the U.S. Department of Transportation to provide guidance to states to keep them open for commercial drivers during the crisis, and to find alternatives for drivers who need to renew or obtain commercial driver’s licensing credentials.

CONTINGENCY PLANS

Charlie Midkiff, global vice president, MLS at Odyssey, said the company began to roll out its “blocking and tackling” strategy the week of Jan. 27, when its

Shanghai office notified it of the outbreak’s rapidly growing presence.

“We have contingency plans in place for events like hurricanes,” Midkiff said.

“We have been able to institute that on a global basis, to make sure our employees are safe and can work from home, while also providing continuity of service to our customers.”

One new innovation at Odyssey was the March 19 launch of an interactive technology for its North American MLS customers.

The technology provides visibility into shipments that overlay with geography profiles that present risk, including COVID-19 hotspots and transportation embargoes. Boyle said the tool has increased Odyssey’s customer engagement, and the incoming data is reviewed, aggregated and posted in as close to real-time as possible.

Midkiff noted that the firm has seen “a significant spike” in the number of user-account requests, “mostly from customers who

don’t normally engage in that way.”

SCRAMBLING

Greenwich’s XPO Logistics has also been scrambling. In January, it announced that its board of directors had authorized a review of strategic alternatives, including the possible sale or spin-off of one or more of XPO's business units.

On March 20, however, the company issued a statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, stating, “In light of current market conditions, XPO has terminated the strategic review process.”

While XPO was not available for comment, the publicly traded firm’s stock took a beating in March, dropping from $75.99 per share on March 2 to $52.92 on March 26 — a 30% plunge.

The company has implemented its own business continuity plan, with a coordinator assigned to each business unit who, in conjunction with executive leaders, will be responsible

for internal policy creation, triage responses and other measures.

XPO is issuing alerts to its customers regarding any changes in its road (it is exempted from the federal “non-essential business” proviso blocking traffic across the Canadian border), ocean (it is experiencing some port closures and restricted access to some marine terminals and customer locations) and air (travel prohibitions and/or restrictions between various countries) operations. Of the latter, it noted, “We are seeing capacity drop relative to an overall decrease in production and demand.”

The company has also instituted, retroactive to March 1, a program that adds protections and time off benefits for XPO employees across the globe. Those changes include Pandemic Paid Sick Leave, where employees can take advantage of up to two weeks (10 days/80 hours) of 100% paid leave under a variety of circumstances.

Is social distancing really possible?

I

was made to stand in the heavy rain for a half an hour waiting to get into a store.

They only allowed one person in at a time.

That was good I thought.

They were really keeping to the rules of social distancing. Then I received my exchanged item and had to sign for it. I had to pick up the pen that everyone that day also picked up and I had to use the keypad that everyone else used that day, thereby picking up the germs of all those who touched those things before me.

Why did we have to stand in the rain and make a pretense of distancing.

Many of us are trying to do our part and distance.

Some do their best while still working at essential

A keypad used to pay for items at retail locations.

businesses. Some try to stay home and come out only for essentials and exercise.

But most will inadvertently contaminate a surface or touch a contaminated surface despite their good intentions. It is only those of us

who are trained in, and practice, sterile technique who can consistently keep our hands to ourselves and not cross contaminate.

The next time you’re out, observe those around you and take note of your own

behavior. Watch the grocery clerk take her gloved hand and touch her face and then pack your bag. Go touch the credit card keypad after the previous 100 customers have done the same. Then open the door with your hand

and go to the gas station and fill up your car. Go to the bank and get some cash. All of these represent breaks in technique that cause contamination of surfaces and each other.

The measures that we need to begin practicing are somewhat similar to the sterile measures we use in surgical procedure areas.

The procedure site is sterilized with cleansers and then not touched with anything other than sterile gloves or instruments. Staff don sterile gowns and gloves in such a way so as not to contaminate them. Then they have learned how to move around the room and do their job without touching anything that is not sterile so they do not contaminate their sterile gloves and gowns.

Unless we strictly quarantine ourselves, interact with no one and keep our hands in our pockets, it is virtually impossible not to spread or pick up the virus.

Our distancing measures would certainly be more productive if we also taught some basic techniques, including how to use gloves and how to care for these constantly touched surfaces. The techniques are simple and it requires a level of awareness and vigilance more than anything else.

Stratford's Athletic Brewing Co. generates skyrocketing growth

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

S

tratford’s Athletic Brewing Co. has been flying high practically since it started in 2018 — and hopes to continue to do so in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.

“We preordered six months of ingredients and are hoping we can come up with solutions to help our partners in retail.” co-founder Bill Shufelt told the Business Journal.

That effort would include what he called “deep discounts” on ABC’s cans of non alcoholic beer, “so we can help them with their revenue stream as best as we can.”

Craft nonalcoholic beers are a fairly unusual item in today’s marketplace — and that’s what has made ABC such a success, Shufelt and co-founder John Walker said.

Since launching, its sales increased more than 1,000% to over 10,000 barrels of volume in 2019. And as a supplier of only nonalcoholic beer, Athletic is able to ship its beer nationally direct to consumer, something they said is a first in the beer world.

“The nonalcoholic beer sector had really been dead for three-plus decades,” Shufelt said. “Our thesis was that there was a huge unmet need out there, and that we could provide something that speaks to today’s adults.”

“I was a little taken aback when we first started talking,” Walker said, noting that he’d first connected with Shufelt through a brewing message board while he was working at a traditional brewery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and his future partner was in Connecticut. “But we got to talking and it made a lot of sense, from a holistic and a philosophical point of view — and there was the curiosity factor.”

A Madison native, Walker said the move back to Connecticut wasn’t too daunting — “I still have family here” — while Shufelt, who lives in Greenwich, credits Stratford’s economic development department and its general community support for making the brewery and taproom at 350 Long Beach Boulevard an immediate success.

“We grew from three teammates about 18 months ago to 50 today,” Shufelt said.

He said the other impetus behind producing nonalcoholic beer came from what he termed “pain points” in both his and Walker’s lives.

“My life was drifting naturally to less alcohol,” he said. “I was not drinking five times a week anymore, getting more interested in fitness and diets. But I quickly found that restaurants, bars and other places didn’t really have something viable to let you feel included in a social situation.”

Athletic Brewing Co. co-founder Bill Shufelt at work at the Stratford location.

“I’d been surrounded by alcohol for practically my entire career,” Walker added.

“But as a young father with two kids, when I met Bill and heard about his plan it made a lot of sense.”

ABC received early support from what Shufelt called “a really enthusiastic group of angel investors who believed in us,” as well as Connecticut Innovations and Whole Foods, which almost immediately began stocking the product in seven of its Connecticut stores.

The company was named to the “Fast Company” annual list of the World’s Most Date: 4/6/2020 Innovative Companies and in Banking March it Focus: The Best in Business acquired the assets of the former Ballast Advertorial: N/A Point “Trade Street” facility in San Diego for BusinessFirst Express Loan was an undisclosed amount.

The acquisition

made possible due to the closing of a $17.5 million Series B funding round.

Walker said the pair hopes that, after a few renovations, the San Diego operation can restart production in mid-May — notwithstanding the coronavirus — and that it will be able to add dozens of brewing jobs to the area.

ABC donates 2% of all sales to a selected trail or park as part of its “Two for the Trails” initiative. Employees have helped clean up trails and parks in Stratford, Windsor, New Hampshire and the Berkshires, Walker said.

“We’ve also partnered with Leave No Trace and the National Hiking Society,” Shufelt noted. “And we’re hoping to donate a six-figure sum this year.”

Classic car facility proposed for Cortlandt

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

developer known as 3451 Lexington Avenue LLC has proposed constructing a 56,000-square-foot, two-story classic car storage facility along with a 4,900-square-foot showroom and 3,528-squarefoot storage building on a 16.3acre site at 3451 Lexington Ave. in Cortlandt.

Special events such as classic car shows would be staged at the site and there would be a membership club for classic car aficionados.

Architect Heike Schneider of HS-Architecture in Yorktown Heights told the Cortlandt Planning Board on March 3 that the indoor storage facility would hold 400 cars and outside there would be 95 parking spaces for member and public use, 65 in the front and 30 in the rear.

“In the front along Lexington Avenue we are proposing a 4,900-squarefoot showroom, with the members lounge on the second floor,” Schneider said. “As part of the member lounge we are proposing a bar area, small kitchen prep area, a conference room, race car simulator room and private lounge area.”

She explained that because of the slope of the site, the building would appear as one story when viewed from Lexington Avenue but other parts would be two stories.

She said the height along Lexington would be 27 feet.

She said car washing and detailing services would be offered and that water used would be retained within the building and recycled so as to not impact the designed wetland area at the lowest portion of the property.

“You can then also join

a membership and you can store your car for a reduced price if you are a member.

Then you can also take part in events,” Schneider told the board.

She said there likely would be monthly events featuring car shows and other attractions that would be open to the general public.

“The train station is not far away,” she noted, adding that shuttle service between

the site and the Metro-North station would be offered for people coming to a special event from New York City or elsewhere. She said doing so would reduce the number of parking spaces potentially needed for public events.

Board member Robert Foley questioned the impact that staging events attracting large crowds might have on the area. He pointed out that a Section 8 housing

complex and a nursing facility were nearby.

“When we just approved assisted living on the corner we had some issues there. I didn't know anything about this proposal then. It sounds like it’s a large, intense proposal,” Foley said.

Christopher Kehoe, Cortlandt's town planner, said, “There are 95 parking spaces. We thought it was way too many but then it

was pointed out they will be doing these events, plus the landscape plan hasn't really been fleshed out. We had some questions with that.

I guess there's a possibility cars would be parked in the parking lot with their hoods open like they do at other places and people will come and look at the cars and things. We've got to get that fleshed out.”

Planning board chairwoman Loretta Taylor said they would need more specifics about the nature of the events that could take pace at the site.

Board member Thomas Bianchi expressed a concern that car sales activities would be taking place as you would find at an automobile dealership, including cars being taken out for test drives.

The board voted to continue its review of the proposal with a visit to the site of the proposed development.

In Court | Bill Heltzel COVID-19 could cost Rivertowns Square tenant $1M

A section of Rivertowns Square in Dobbs Ferry.

COVID-19 could cost Brooklyn Market, a soon-to-be ex-tenant at Rivertowns Square in Dobbs Ferry, more than $1 million.

The market needed a demolition permit to remove property before its lease expired, but the Dobbs Ferry Building Department couldn’t process the permit, according to a lawsuit, because of the virus.

Brooklyn Market sued Rivertowns Square Regency LLC, the landlord, on March 24 in Westchester Supreme Court for allegedly

refusing to negotiate a new surrender date.

“The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the complaint states, “has all but assured that obtaining the necessary approvals to remove the … equipment, fixtures and installations shall be impossible to accomplish by March 31.”

A spokesman for Regency Centers Corp., the landlord’s Jacksonville, Florida, parent company, did not respond to an email asking for its side of the story.

Brooklyn Market leased 18,000 square feet in 2017 from Saber Dobbs Ferry LLC, the developer, beginning at $378,000 a year.

In 2018, Regency Centers bought most of the retail space in the mixed-use development for $69.2 million.

On March 6, Brooklyn Market President Mahmoud Elayyan agreed to pay $61,933 and relinquish a $189,000 security deposit to break the lease. The market had the right to remove light fixtures, refrigeration equipment and other property that it claims is worth more than $1 million.

On March 11, when the market began removing property, a Dobbs Ferry building inspector came to the store, according to the complaint, but did not issue any violation notices.

The following day, a lawyer for Regency Centers notified Brooklyn Market to cease and desist. The landlord had allegedly seen internal copper piping being removed without a plan or permit, according to a letter to the tenant, and saw lighting and wiring being removed in a “destructive and inappropriate manner.”

On March 13, the building department issued a stop-work order and notified the market that it needed approvals to remove fixtures or installations.

Brooklyn Market denied damaging the property in a letter to a Regency Centers attorney. The market hired architect Thomas E. Haynes to prepare plans and it asked the landlord to extend the surrender date, to allow more time to get permits, reverse the stop-work order and resume removal of property.

Regency Centers has refused to extend the surrender date, the complaint states. In the meantime, the building department has canceled inspections and postponed issuing permits, according to an affidavit by Haynes, until it can provide inspectors with better personal protection equipment.

Through no fault of its own, Brooklyn Market claims, it is being prevented from removing its property by forces outside of its control.

The landlord, on the other hand, “stands to gain a windfall” by potentially gaining ownership of the market’s property.

Brooklyn Market is asking the court to stop enforcement of the March 31 surrender date and to grant it at least 30 days to remove property after it gets the village’s approvals.

Brooklyn Market is represented by Staten Island attorney Salvatore Calcagno. Regency Centers is represented by attorney Thomas S. Onder of Lawrenceville, New Jersey.

In Court | Bill Heltzel WATERKEEPER TRADEMARK SCOFFLAW GETS COVID-19 JAIL REPRIEVE

An environmentalist who has repeatedly refused to comply with a judge’s orders in a trademark dispute has won a COVID-19 imprisonment reprieve.

U.S. District Judge Nelson S. Roman had ordered Jeffrey Salt to surrender to the U.S. Marshal in White Plains on March 23, “until such time as he purged himself of contempt.”

But on the surrender date, Roman postponed imprisonment to June 5 “in light of (the) recent COVID-19 pandemic.”

Roman had held out the possibility of jail time a year ago in what has become a 10-year trademark dispute.

Waterkeeper Alliance Inc., an umbrella group that represents hundreds of watershed protection groups worldwide, sued Great Salt Lakekeeper and Great Salt Lake Water Keepers in 2010.

Waterkeeper, then based in Irvington, is perhaps best known for the work of Riverkeeper, the environmental organization that fishermen created in 1986 to clean up the Hudson River.

Waterkeeper had licensed an organization in Salt Lake City, headed by Salt, to use Riverkeeper trademarks. Salt was fired but kept using the trademarks at a new organization, Spirit of Utah Wilderness Inc., doing business as Great Salt Lakekeeper.

Waterkeeper revoked Spirit of Utah’s trademark license in 2008 when Salt was arrested on a felony assault charge.

But Salt kept using the trademarks, according to court records, and even referred to himself as the Great Salt Lakekeeper.

Last year, Roman fined Salt and his organization $144,800 for violating court orders and instructed them to disavow use of the trademarks on the website and social media accounts.

Roman concluded two months ago, “by clear and convincing evidence,” that Salt and his organizations have continued to disobey the court.

The threat of monetary sanctions did not dissuade Salt from using the trademarks, Roman noted. That left civil imprisonment as the only remaining penalty that might motivate Salt to obey the judge.

Salt can purge himself of contempt by stopping to use the Waterkeeper trademarks, identifying all instances in which they have been used and paying fines.

Salt did not reply to an email message asking for comment.

Roman also granted Salt’s application for a court-appointed attorney to represent him during the contempt and civil confinement proceedings. Salt had been representing himself for the past six years.

Waterkeeper is represented by Manhattan attorneys Jason L. Libou and John H. Reichman.

JUDGE ORDERS MAMARONECK TO ACT ON HAMPSHIRE CC DEVELOPMENT

The village of Mamaroneck must act now on an environmental review, a judge has ruled, on Hampshire Country Club’s proposed Residences at Hampshire.

Westchester Supreme Court Justice Linda S. Jamieson granted a writ of mandamus March 13 to Hampshire Recreation LLC, the country club’s developer, to compel the village planning board to accept an environmental impact statement as complete within 20 days and then issue its own findings within 30 days.

ing to get village regulatory approvals since 2015. The country club wants to downsize to a 9-hole golf course, build 61 townhouses and 44 houses and set aside 31 acres as open space for public use.

The Mamaroneck Coastal Environmental Coalition, a group of neighbors who live near the country club in the wealthy Orienta section of the village, has vigorously opposed the development.

Hampshire Recreation submitted a proposed Final Environmental Impact Statement in October 2018, as required by the State Environmental Quality Review Act. Generally, the local government is required to adopt a proposed report and then issue its own findings.

In this case, the planning board convened numerous work sessions, raised many

questions and demanded more information over an 18-month period.

Hampshire Recreation revised its proposed environmental statement four times, producing a report with more than 3,000 pages last November.

The planning board, according to Hampshire Recreation, responded by stating that it wanted to hold another public comment period, even though the comment period had formally closed in May 2018.

Hampshire Recreation petitioned Westchester Supreme Court to compel the village to accept the report and issue its findings.

The village was “continually moving the goal posts,” the petition states, and was refusing to accept any version of the developer’s environmental report.

Hampshire Recreation argued that it had addressed

all significant environmental issues and that the village was manufacturing issues to delay the report.

The court had no authority “to interfere in the ongoing administrative process,” the village argued, because it was diligently working to resolve all issues.

The “remedy of mandamus” to compel a government to perform a ministerial duty, Jamieson acknowledged, has limitations. But she found that the village was attempting to be encyclopedic in its review of the proposed environmental impact statement.

The New York Court of Appeals has made it clear, she said, that “not every conceivable environmental impact, mitigating measure or alternative” must be addressed before accepting the report.

CREDIT CARD PROCESSING COMPANY SUES FORMER EMPLOYEES FOR $10M

The owner of an Eastchester credit card processing company has sued his sister and two other former employees, and the competitor they joined, for $10 million for allegedly stealing trade secrets.

Card Processing Systems (CPS) sued its ex-employees and Cardworks Inc. of Woodbury, Nassau County, March 17 in Westchester Supreme Court.

“They used the confidential information that they stole from CPS to determine which of CPS’ clients were most profitable,” the complaint states, and “to focus their improper and illegal soliciting efforts … on behalf

of Cardworks.”

Cardworks did not immediately respond to an email request for its side of the story.

The other defendants include Andrea Zaretsky of New Rochelle, the younger sister of CPS owner and president George Jathas, and Danielle Gizzo and Nicole Trombetta of Yonkers.

CPS processes payments to merchants on credit cards, debit cards and e-checks, such as American Express, Mastercard and Visa, and collects fees based on a percentage of sales.

The firm also had a deal with Signature Bank in which the bank referred potential clients to CPS for a fee and rebates.

Zaretsky was a vice president and was responsible for seeking out new clients and maintaining CPS’ relationship with Signature Bank, according to the complaint.

Gizzo and Trombetta also looked for new clients and worked with Signature.

All three had signed an agreement to protect the firm’s confidential information, the complaint states, and to not solicit CPS customers for four years after their employment ended.

Zaretsky and Gizzo resigned in June 2017 and nearly a year later went to work for Cardworks, according to the complaint.

But even before they left CPS, they allegedly downloaded the firm’s client list and pricing information to their personal computers.

CPS claims that Zaretsky asked Signature Bank to refer clients to Cardworks, and that Zaretsky and Gizzo targeted CPS clients for Cardworks.

information to her personal email account. She joined Cardworks, according to the complaint, and solicited CPS clients.

CPS claims it got about 36 referrals a month from Signature Bank, but after Zaretsky and Gizzo resigned, monthly referrals dropped to six, and since July 2018, to zero.

More than 150 clients have closed their accounts and signed up with Cardworks, according to the complaint, and monthly income has dropped by about $500,000.

CPS accuses the defendants of misappropriation, violation of the federal trade secrets act, breach of contract and interference with business relations.

An Arizona rare car collector claims that a Mount Kisco vintage sports car dealer who purportedly sold him a coveted Porsche actually swindled him into buying a junkyard heap.

Gregory Johnson of Cave Creek, Arizona, sued Hunting Ridge Motors Inc. and owner Mark Starr on March 12 in Westchester Supreme Court for $192,584.

Johnson thought he was getting a 1972 Porsche 911 RS Carrera Tribute, but the car he got, he claims, was “nothing more than a severely rusted, damaged-repaired, run-of-the-mill Porsche with a worn-out 911 E engine made up of several mix-andmatch parts — essentially, a junkyard find.”

Starr did not respond to an email message asking for his side of the story.

Johnson depicts himself as an avid collector of classic cars who seeks out rare, unique finds.

Starr also is an aficiona-

by Hunting Ridge Motors in 2015.

do of fast, sleek, expensive sports cars. He ran Lotus dealerships in Port Chester and Greenwich, according to a 2006 New York Times story, and he was once the largest Lotus dealer in the world, according to the Hunting Ridge website.

Now his passion “lies with the unearthing, restoration and marketing of vintage sport and race cars,” according to the website.

Hunting Ridge posted an ad for the 1972 Tribute in 2015. It said “Porsche RS Lightweights have recently sold for in excess of $1.4 million.”

“This car,” the ad stated, “can be driven and enjoyed for considerably less.”

The asking price was $139,000.

Tributes are replicas, based on similar models that are stripped down to the chassis and rebuilt to the same specifications as the original, using Porsche parts or same-period equipment.

The car in question began as a 1972 911 T, according to the description. The chassis was rust-free and never damaged. The engine and transmission were built

by Franz Blam Racing in Tucker, Georgia.

The “genuine Sekurit glass” was flawless. The ducktail rear spoiler and the bumpers were from the correct time period. A 1973 911S mechanical fuel injection was installed and the pump was rebuilt. The car got new RS pistons and liners, and the cylinder heads were machined to the correct specs.

The car was painted in the original factory color,

Aubergine, or eggplant, and equipped with custom-ordered black leather and hound’s-tooth sport seats.

“This incredible RS Tribute,” the description states, “is far and away the best sorted and well-constructed RS Tribute we have ever seen.”

The Porsche had purportedly logged a mere 12,716 miles, making it a “rare find,” according to Johnson’s complaint.

Johnson agreed to buy the Tribute for $120,000.

More than a year later, in December 2016, the car was delivered to Johnson in California, where he lived at the time. The following month, he took it to a Porsche expert, “for reasons unrelated to this complaint.”

To his horror, the complaint states, the mechanic discovered that “his rare, unique find was a sham.”

Johnson alleges that Starr and Hunting Ridge never intended to sell the car as advertised. “Instead, they swindled (him) into significantly overpaying for a junkyard heap.”

Johnson sued Starr and Hunting Ridge in a California court in 2017, for fraud, breach of contract and violation of the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act. Last year, he won a default judgment for $192,594 that included the purchase price, interest, attorney fees and costs.

Now he is asking Westchester Supreme Court to adopt the California findings and grant him a judgment for the same amount.

SBA’s disaster relief loan program designed to help businesses impacted by coronavirus crisis

any businesses have been forced to cease or quickly modify operations during the coronavirus pandemic, especially in the metro New York region, which is the epicenter of the outbreak in the U.S. Impacted businesses may seek assistance in the form of a loan from the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Disaster Relief Loan Program. Recently, the SBA finalized the loan program, making available up to $2

million in emergency funding to small businesses using Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) throughout the remainder of 2020.

The SBA defines EIDLs as “working capital loans to help small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives ... and most private, nonprofit organizations of all sizes meet their ordinary and necessary financial obligations that cannot be met as a direct result of the disaster.

These loans are intended to assist through the disaster

recovery period.”

It’s important to note that the SBA’s goal in offering EIDLs is to provide capital to cover fixed and necessary operating expenses.

This loan is not intended to replace revenue or profit.

There are several elements of this program that business owners should consider as they apply, including:

ELIGIBILITY

A business must have a physical location (just a P.O. box is insufficient) in

an eligible disaster area to be qualified to receive this funding. All of New York state is considered an eligible disaster area.

The SBA expects applicants to exhaust other funding sources first and requires personal financial statements and details of other loans as part of the application. Applicants with access to outside financing and significant personal assets may not be approved under this program.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Applications can be completed online or applicants can paper process applications and overnight them to the processing center in Fort Worth, Texas.

The filing deadline is Dec. 21, 2020.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION (FOR ALL APPLICANTS, EXCLUDING NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS)

LOAN DETAILS AND TIMELINE

Unlike other SBA programs, applicants do not submit an amount they are seeking.

The SBA will review the financial information provided by the applicant and make an offer it feels is appropriate to cover the economic loss and an appropriate repayment term.

Through this program, loans under $25,000 can be unsecured. For any loan over $25,000, the SBA will require personal guarantees from anyone with 20% or more ownership and make UCC filings for any business and personal assets which they deem appropriate. The SBA reserves the right to deny future requests to subordinate these loans to any new financing an applicant may be seeking.

The current expected time to process applications is one to three weeks. However, demand will likely overwhelm the resources the SBA has, so it is advisable to get applications in ASAP. Loans over $25,000 will take more time due to the collateral requirements.

TURNING POSSIBILITIES into REALITIES.

“They are more than just our bank.

They are our trusted advisors.”

Martabano Real Estate Management Corp. is a 3rd-generation, family-owned development company who knows just how important location is.

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS SUPPORT

The federal government is implementing new legislation to support businesses and individuals impacted by COVID-19.

Senate Bill 3548, which includes expanded eligibility and loan forgiveness for amounts used to fund payroll, was passed. There is no indication that applying for an SBA Disaster Relief Loan will preclude an applicant from also applying for funding under Senate Bill 3548.

The key to obtaining as much funding as possible is to present the application in such a way that makes it easy to identify fixed costs which the applicant is requesting to have covered by the funding. Don’t hesitate to reach out to a trusted adviser such as an accountant to seek help in completing this application.

His primary focus is helping the firm’s clients through the capital acquisition process. He can be reached at pvanputte@tbgcappartners. com.

“When our last local bank was bought out, we missed that home-town bank feeling,” says Donald. “Fortunately, we met Tompkins Mahopac Bank.

Suite Talk Seth M. Mandelbaum: ‘The county parks have always been part of why we love living here so much’

I

n January, Seth M. Mandelbaum became the chairman of the board of directors of the Westchester Parks Foundation (WPF), a nonprofit dedicated to promoting and supporting Westchester County’s parks.

Mandelbaum is a managing partner with the White Plains law firm McCullough, Goldberger & Staudt LLP and within Westchester he is among the most proactive attorneys in professional and nonprofit volunteer leadership.

Mandelbaum is also a member of the board of directors of the Westchester County Association (WCA), where he serves on its Real Estate Task Force and is co-chairman of its State Environmental Quality Review Act Subcommittee.

He is also on the board of directors of the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center and was formerly co-chairman of

the Westchester County Bar Association’s Environmental Law Committee.

In this edition of Suite Talk, Business Journal Senior Enterprise Editor Phil Hall speaks with Mandelbaum about his volunteer outreach.

What was the route to this leadership role?

“I’ve been on the board since 2011 and had been involved with the organization back when it was Friends of Westchester Parks, which was rebranded five years ago as the Westchester Parks Foundation to make it a little clearer that we were not part of the Westchester County government — the original logo looked a lot like the one for the Westchester County Parks Department, whom we support.

“In 2015, I became vice chair and supported Joanne Fernandez of Entergy, who became chair. After five years, she decided to step

down and I was asked if I would consider becoming chair, which I accepted.”

Is it safe to assume that you’ve had a lifetime love of both Westchester and its parks?

“I’ve lived in Westchester 40 years. My wife and I met at Pace Law School in White Plains. We moved to Queens, but later moved back up to Westchester. I used to ride my bike to Kensico Dam. When our children were very young, we used to take them to Saxon Woods Park. The county parks have always been part of why we love living here so much.”

Saxon Woods Park is across the street from your law firm’s office. Did you ever think that someday you would be working in that location?

“I used to point out this building and say, ‘I’m going to work in that building

Seth M. Mandelbaum

someday.’ I had no idea what I would be doing in there — except that it was the closest office building to our house.”

What does the WPF’s work involve?

“The WPF does many things, some of which are programmatic like Winter Wonderland and Pitch in for Parks, which take place around Earth Day. That is the largest one-day volunteer program we run.

“But I think my favorite

program that we run is Camp Morty, a summer camp up in North Salem at Mountain Lakes Park, which provides one-week, sleep-away experiences for kids that are in the social services system. It gives the kids an opportunity to get out in the woods. A lot of them don’t know how to swim or have never been on a lake. I make sure I go up every summer and it is really an incredible thing to see. A lot of the young children go on to become counselors and counselors-in-training.”

How are you involved at the WCA? “I recently had my first board meeting. I had been involved in some real estate and smart growth issues on its committees. It is a nice opportunity to use my knowledge of land use and zoning, which is my day job.”

There is also your work on the board with the

Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center.

What brought you to that board of directors?

“It is near and dear to my heart as a grandchild of Holocaust survivors. I feel it is more important now than ever. There are a lot of symbols of hate that students in middle schools and high schools, and they may not understand what they are scrawling on the bathroom walls mean.

“We run teacher training institutes and trips every other year to Poland and Germany. We also run a speaker’s bureau for survivors and the second and third generation where they are trained to speak to schoolchildren and adults about their experiences. That is powerful.”

What percentage of your time is devoted to volunteerism?

“More and more!”

Joy Food brings joy to dogs with nutritional meals via subscription model

F

or people who get a lot of enjoyment from their dogs, there’s now a little more Joy to be had.

Stamford’s Joy Food Co., that is — specifically, a new line of meal mix-ins, Joy Toppers, designed to boost the nutritional benefits of their current food.

“They grew out of our wanting not to make our subscriptions an ‘all or nothing’ situation,” said founder Tom Arrix. “What we really want to do is improve wellness for dogs everywhere.”

That’s in keeping with

APRIL 6, 2020

Joy’s direct-to-consumer model much like that offered

by Blue Apron, HelloFresh and the like — the main difference being, of course, that the meals have been created by vet nutritionists for canine consumption.

Joy uses fresh ingredients like ground turkey, broccoli, apples and fish oil, the benefits of which Arrix and his team — which includes Dr. Sarah Abood, one of the founders of Pet Recipe Designers, and Rebecca Remillard, founder and president of Veterinary Nutritional Consultations Inc. — believe parallel those experienced by their human counterparts who also choose their comes-

tibles carefully.

Subscribers first fill out a profile of their dog — age, weight, activity level and so on — as well as their pup’s preference (if any) of flavors.

Weekly subs, 14 pre-portioned meal pouches, for small dogs (10 to 20 pounds) average around $32 a week, while those for large dogs (more than 55 pounds) can cost $60 to $90, depending upon breed, Arrix said.

The inspiration for Joy Food came about a year and a half ago, when Cooper, one of the Arrix family’s golden retrievers, was diagnosed with lymphoma.

“I talked with a holistic oncologist, Kendra Pope,

who highlighted the impact that fresh ingredients and nutrients can have,” Arrix recalled. “On her recommendation, that night we fed Cooper exactly what we were having for dinner.”

While Cooper ultimately succumbed, Arrix said he lived for 15 months, well beyond what his diagnosis had indicated.

The experience got Arrix — a former vice president of marketing at Facebook — thinking about going into the nutritional dog food business.

“It wasn’t about just starting to sell dog food,” he said, “but about creating a wellness experience and educating our customers — the dogs’

moms and dads — about what they can do to positively affect the wellness of the family pet.”

Going the subscription route was also preferable to brick-and-mortar retail, he said, not only because of the perishability of Joy’s products but also because “you can build incredible relationships with your customers this way."

Joy’s customer care extends to answering questions from subscribers in as timely a manner as possible, noted Alexandra Rogers, director of marketing and customer experience.

“If we don’t have the answers, we can connect

them with a service that’s able to guide them through their problems,” she said.

“It’s kind of troubleshooting for dogs. We try to respond very quickly. The big companies can take 24 to 48 hours to give you an automated response.”

Joy’s deliveries are restricted to Connecticut, and particularly Fairfield County, for the moment, the better to guarantee one- to two-day delivery, Arrix said.

He anticipates growing its delivery area throughout the Northeast this year, and foresees a time when Joy is a national concern, with manufacturing plants scattered across the country.

Altruism—

Communications for his work as founder and CEO of The Core Beverage Group, the Stamford-based creator of Cylinder Vodka. This spring, Stavrianos is working to aid those who helped turn his product into a success.

“Beginning on March 30 and going through May 1, I am donating 100% of our revenue to bartenders and hospitality staff in need,” he said. “The funds will be dispersed through two nonprofits: the U.S. Bartenders Guild and Another Round Another Rally.”

Stavrianos’ generosity comes in response to the closure of eateries except for takeout and delivery, leaving servers and bartenders out of work. This situation is made worse because those workers rely heavily on tips to make a living.

“The world now is crippled and every individual is feeling hurt,” he continued.

Stavrianos wanted to give back to those whose work helped grow his business, noting that in the post-pandemic era, “a lot of consumers will be looking at companies in a different way and ask, ‘What did you do when everything fell apart?’ ” As for the loss of a month’s revenue to benefit others, Stavrianos was not concerned.

“I think we’ll be fine,” he insisted.

THANK YOU, MASK MAKERS!

Erin Byrne’s Brookfieldbased fabric and quilt business Cotton Candy Fabrics had completed a 1,500-square-foot expansion of its retail center at 457 Federal Road and was aiming at a March 21 event celebrating the addition.

“Leave it to me to pick the worst time in the history of quilt shop expansions to do an expansion,” she said. “Not great timing, and sales are down probably 75% because we don’t have the foot traffic.”

But while Byrne’s business is taking a hit during the ongoing crisis, she found a new cause when the mother of a local nurse complained about the shortage of masks in area hospitals.

“We posted on Facebook and mobilized our network of volunteers,” Byrne said.

“And the masks just started coming in.”

Most masks are created by longtime quilters on sewing machines that create 100 per day, but Byrne acknowledged one local volunteer who sews them by hand and averages two per day. The masks are replacements used by nurses temporarily after their medical-grade equipment needs replacing.

“The mask has a layer of flannel on the inside for comfort and a little bit of filtration, a layer of cotton on the outside and two elastics to put over each ear to hold the mask in place,” she continued. “We pleat them so that it stays tight around the face.

We’re also making some that have a slit in the back so that they can put in a filter. Some are even using vacuum cleaner bags as a filter.”

Byrne has posted a howto video on her business’ Facebook page to instruct volunteers eager to lend a hand. More than 3,000 masks have been created for area hospitals, in-home nursing associations and the New Milford Fire Department.

CATCHING UP ON READING

Westport’s G.S. “George” Eli has been active as the founder of the Romani Media Initiative, an activist organization focused on the hardships facing the Roma population — more commonly known as Gypsies — and as the owner of the film production compa-

ny 4th Nail Productions LLC. With the closure of schools, he saw an opportunity to educate local youth on the often-misunderstood Roma culture by providing free digital copies of his young adult novel, “The Last of the Magi: The Devouring” prior to its official release.

“Westport is a hot spot for the coronavirus and we need to be especially diligent here,” he warned. “Having a business located in downtown Westport, I was troubled to see the amount of young people disregarding the severity of this global pandemic and the importance of social distancing. I believe we are all trying to do the right thing, offering aid where we can. I decided to offer the book for free to encourage doing our part to stay indoors until it is safe otherwise.”

KEEPING THE MUSIC ALIVE

The performing arts have suffered during this crisis, with the closure of venues that brought entertainment to the community. But two music entities have decided to press ahead to bring new music to audiences deprived of their beloved venues.

The Stamford Symphony has created the Stamford Symphony Channel on its website that provides recorded performances, plus solo serenades, informal practice videos and interviews featuring symphony members, and a children’s section to help the next generation of musical talent learn their craft.

“Once it became clear

FCBJ

WCBJ

that our spring concerts could not go ahead, we knew it was our duty as an artistic organization to help fill a void,” said Russell Jones, president and CEO. “Music provides comforts in uncertain times and our musicians are eager to step in and support the community.”

Nathan Sage’s Sage Sound Studios in Shelton is offering independent singer/songwriters free online mixing of one song and a pay-what-you-can-afford plan for creating the master recording at the studio.

“People are not going to shows for the foreseeable future,” Sage lamented. “But there are still artists that want to put out their music. If they can get their music out, they will be able to stream it, sell it and license it, which will make them money. That can keep things going until things come back to normal.”

THE ROAD AHEAD

“Businesspeople are basically good,” stated Mike Roer, president of the Entrepreneur Foundation Inc. in Fairfield. “Our economy is not regulated so much by laws as the realization that transactions only occur when both parties — buyer and seller — can trust each other. Businesspeople are typically involved in their communities, good citizens, who care about their fellow Americans who may be in need. After all, the purpose of business, of entrepreneurship, at its core, is to solve a problem.”

Each year, Ability Beyond of Bethel, Connecticut, and Chappaqua, New York, relies on the proceeds from its black-tie gala to provide a hopeful future for more than 3,000 individuals with disabilities served by the nonprofit organization. Due to this year’s pandemic, the 2020 and Beyond Gala has been reinvented as the “No Go Gala.” The virtual fundraiser will be held Saturday, April 25, via a livestream webcast from 6 to 7 p.m. However, donations are being accepted and strongly encouraged now through the event day.

“We are facing incomprehensible needs brought on by COVID-19 and have taken aggressive actions to prevent its spread, protect our residents and staff and abide by mandated safety precautions,” said Jane Davis, president and CEO of Ability Beyond. “The next two months alone are expected to be

a historical challenge, as the financial hardship for Ability Beyond is estimated to be over $5 million.”

Guests are invited to join the celebration and contribute from the comfort of their homes by tuning into a live, online Giving Hour hosted by popular comedian Christine O’Leary who is once again lending her talents.

By logging onto AbilityBeyond.

GiveSmart.com, attendees can purchase a virtual ticket for $250, a table for $2,500 as well as contribute to numerous “Lend a Hand” levels, which equate to the following organization benefits: $25,000 provides handicap accessible housing upgrades for aging individuals with disabilities; $15,000 affords occupational therapy for people with acquired brain injury; $10,000 supports advanced skills training for direct care staff; $7,500 buys medical supplies for people

with specialized medical needs; $5,000 enables job training for developmentally disabled individuals; $2,500 provides support and recovery services for those struggling with addiction and mental health disorders; $1,000 bestows transportation to work and volunteer activities for people with developmental disabilities; $500 allows access to assistive technology for people with cerebral palsy; $250 delivers music therapy classes for youth adults with autism; and $100 buys a birthday celebration at one of Ability Beyond’s residential programs.

The gala has always been Ability Beyond’s largest fundraising event of the year, attracting close to 500 guests each year. The money raised allows the organization to continue providing critical services to clients in Connecticut and Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties in New York.

During a pandemic, drone technology can: protect the health of personnel;maintain critical business processes;minimize disruption to company operations; mitigate the impact to brand and reputation; reduce the loss of revenue and financial impact; resume normal business operations as efficiently and quickly as feasible; and comply with all applicable regulatory requirements and directives.

AD Cloud can program unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned groundbased vehicles (UGV) with cloud-based command and control (C2) to conduct such mission-critical exercises as: delivery of medical supplies to health care workers; transport of test results to labs; delivery of medicine and urgent supplies to individuals quarantined at home; disinfectant spraying into public pandemic areas; serving as mobile public speakers to inform people; patrolling high-risk areas with photoelectric sensors to enforce curfews; and monitoring the health of employees with heat signature, infrared cameras and 24-hour surveillance of critical infrastructure.

FEEDING MORE PEOPLE The outpouring of compassion from Greenwich residents is rapidly increasing.

Neighbor to Neighbor has made a significant step in addressing the increased need for food by temporarily moving its distribution location to the Arch Street Teen Center, which allows for easy access and truck deliveries of food and supplies. This space is larger than Neighbor to Neighbor’s previous facility at the Christ Church location, which could not accommodate the current need for staff and volunteers to practice safe social distancing. The volunteer force dropped by 85% as safe distancing standards were adhered to and client visits to the pantry were severely limited.

Online, you can donate funds or buy food items for people in need.
