Merger creates two-state powerhouse in health care BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

n selecting our �irst Businessperson of the Year, the Westfair Communications editorial team carefully weighed such factors as presence in and impact upon our region and beyond; potential for further growth; managerial savvy; and reputation. While there were a num-

ber of worthwhile candidates, it is dif�icult to think of someone who has had a greater impact on the regional landscape over the past 12 months than Dr. John Murphy. The longtime Western Connecticut Health Network (WCHN) president and CEO was instrumental in that group’s merger with Health Quest Systems. First announced in 2018 and �inalized in April of this year,

the merger created Nuvance Health, a $2.4 billion, seven-hospital juggernaut that will serve an area with 1.5 million residents across Connecticut and New York and be staffed by more than 12,300 employees. Murphy, whose main of�ice remains at Danbury Hospital, is Nuvance’s CEO. He also is a founding member and serves on the board of the Value Care Alliance (a » JOHN MURPHY

performance. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Greenwich Associates, based in Stamford, serves more than 300 of the top investment banks, corporate banks, commercial banks, asset managers and key players in the market infrastructure space globally. CRISIL said the acquisition will complement its portfolio of products and expand offerings to new segments across �inancial services, including commercial banks and asset and wealth managers. The deal, which is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is anticipated to close in the �irst quarter of 2020. Greenwich’s partners and their team of approximately 150 people globally will join CRISIL following its completion. » BRIEFS

After failing to change state law to enable the direct sale of its automobiles to consumers, Tesla has found a way to get its vehicles before Connecticut drivers. The Elon Musk-founded company has begun leasing its automobiles from its service center in Milford. According to a report on the news site Electrek, Tesla noted that there is no law prohibiting it from leasing Teslas to interested drivers who would then have the option to buy the automobile online or out of state. The Connecticut Franchise Act prohibits the direct sale of automobiles from manufacturers to consumers. Tesla had operated a “gallery” in Greenwich that enabled prospective buyers to examine and test-drive vehicles for later purchase by telephone and internet, with delivery taking place outside of Connecticut. The Greenwich venue was shut down in March and the company has unsuccessfully attempted to lobby the Legislature to change the law on direct automobile sales. In July, the Connecticut Supreme Court agreed to hear Tesla’s argument on overturning the Connecticut Franchise Act. The Westport Police Department this month announced its purchase of a fully electric 2020 Tesla Model 3, making it the �irst Connecticut law enforcement agency to include a Tesla in its automotive fleet.

economy of the state of Connecticut, and on the New York side, this was going to create a major economic engine. We are the single largest employer in most of our communities. “And, of course, the cost of health care is a concern for everyone, as you’ve seen in the (presidental) debates. There is a sense of ‘somebody’s got to tame the cost side of this.’ “We also have an independent monitor that was required by the state Of�ice of Health Strate�y, to report on how we’re honoring those commitments. I thought it was intrusive and overreaching — but on some level it’s just responsible governance. We want to try to be an actual part of the solution.”

group of independent Connecticut hospitals); is chairman of the executive committee of the Connecticut Hospital Association; and regularly advocates on behalf of the health care industry on the local, state and national levels. On Dec. 12, he spoke with Fair�ield County Bureau Chief Kevin Zimmerman to discuss his background, where Nuvance is today and where both it and health care in general are headed over the next few years. Q: Although it took a little over a year to be consummated after it was �irst announced, the merger that created Nuvance appeared to be relatively painless as these things go, at least from the outside. A: “I’m delighted that that’s how it looked (laughs). When you’re dealing with hospitals and an organization that has a long history of being independent, there are a lot of factors involved on both sides. There are patient expectations, physicians’ expectations, �inancial pressures and the whole question of making health care affordable while maintaining a high quality of care. There are a number of assessments necessary to determine if there may be a better way than doing what you’ve been doing. “Another thing to consider was the advantages and disadvantages involved, in determining whether this was the right thing to do for the communities we serve. It took a lot of time to do it carefully and thoughtfully. Ultimately, that’s how we got here. “I remember in the early going, eight of our board members — four from WCHN and four from Health Quest — went to a restaurant for dinner and floated the idea (of the merger), laid out the reasons why it made sense. It was a two-, maybe three-hour dinner. And at the end of it all eight of us signed the menu — which I still have — and said, ‘Let’s do this.’ From there it was trying to put the pieces together.” Q: There were some unusual provisos involved in getting regulatory approval to create Nuvance. There is the cost growth cap, which links health care cost growth to the consumer price index as a means of slowing the rise of health care prices. And there is a requirement for Nuvance to expand its use of alternative payment models to provide incentives for physicians to lower costs and improve outcomes for the treatments they recommend. Were those provisos expected, or did they come at you out of the blue? A: “They were something of a surprise. But I talked with a number of administrative and legislative leaders and got the sense that they were coming at it from a responsibility perspective. They recognized that for the

How do we get there, and what values do we want to live by? “As CEO, I need to make sense of the world outside. There are so many changing dynamics in our environment. The regulatory environment alone is so large — at any given time we have 42 different agencies telling us what to do. And there is a wave of new competitors trying to get into health care, from digital and

retail competitors to large physicians’ groups and other hospitals. The nature of the competition is changing, to the point where in some cases we’re now cooperating with people that we have a history of only competing with. “I’m out advocating on behalf of the health care sector to governments on the state and federal levels. Then I come back and say, ‘Here’s what’s happening. Now we need to create a strate�y to succeed and compete in this environment. “It’s a matter of balancing the short- and the long-term. I feel like I’m wearing a pair of bifocals. I need to look at what 2020 has in store and at what this will look like in �ive years.”

A MEMBER OF

BUsinEssPERson oF ThE YEAR Q: What kind of metrics do you look at when trying to map out Nuvance’s next �ive years? A: “Quality, safety and patient satisfaction are the key drivers. If we can’t provide that, we shouldn’t be in the business. “We will continue to work to �ind the safest, least expensive place to deliver care — what’s most convenient for the patient instead of the doctor. “We need to keep an eye on �inances. Making investments in the right services and technologies will help us attract and retain talent, which ultimately reduces the cost of care. We can’t get trapped in what we’re doing this year. I want this place to still be here 50 years from now. “How engaged are our employees? It’s

and more people have a preference for being treated at home, and we’re partnering with more and more retail providers. People can get their flu shot at CVS instead of having to come to the hospital.” Q: How often do you travel to each of the seven hospitals? And how do you deal with 12,000 employees? I’m guessing you’re not walking down the hall and saying, “Hi, Sam!” all the time. A: “I need to get out more. I struggle with how to get to all the places they expect me to be. I’m hoping to travel to each hospital at least every quarter. “But as far as the staff is concerned, what’s most important is maintaining the terri�ic teams we already have and attracting new people as well. We said at the time the merger was announced that there wouldn’t be any signi�icant reduction of staff and I see no reason for that to change. “What is changing is some of the skill sets involved — a couple of years from now some employees may be doing things in addition to what they did when they started. We’re building a data analytics team, which means adding jobs. “The other night we dedicated a new OR site at Danbury Hospital to provide a suite of robotic cardiac surgery services. The suite is designed speci�ically to allow procedures that we never thought we’d even be doing 10 years ago. And talented physicians see those kinds of improvements and want to work here because of the kinds of investments we’re making.” Q: So there are no widespread redundancies involved? A: “Most of the savings are through the supply chain. When you’re buying for an organization of this size, you’re more likely to get a discount on purchased items we all use — IV solutions, pacemakers, joint implants. And you’re also more likely to get a discount on the insurance that you purchase. “In other cases, do you really need two IT systems? We’re in the process of making that one. And if we feel that one neonatal ICU can serve several regions, you don’t need to spend 10 billion bucks on another one.” Q: Presumably you’re pleased about the new, seven-year settlement between Connecticut and the hospitals regarding the hospital tax and Medicare reimbursement rates? A: “I’m delighted that we reached a solution after four years. It’s good for the state of Connecticut, it’s good for the hospitals and ultimately, it will mean better care for people of low to modest incomes who enrolled in Medicaid when it was expanded. It invests in the provision of services that patients expect and deserve.”

�ine to make these great statements, but if you turn around and it looks like nobody’s on the bus, what are you doing? We want this to be an exciting place to work, where they get respect and a feeling of joy in their work. “How engaged are our physicians? There are a lot of pressures out there, from learning new procedures and technologies to lawsuits — and they’re all palpable and legitimate. We want to be an incredible place where people are eager to come and practice their art and craft. “I met with 15 docs the other night and we talked about how it’s still a privilege to be a physician.” Q: What led you to a career in health care in the �irst place? “When I was in high school (in New Milford, New Jersey), my father was hoping that, as the sixth kid, I’d take on the mechanical engineering business he’d built. My brother was into Chinese anthropolo�y, so my father �igured, ‘That’s not the guy!’ (laughs). And my sisters were on their own paths. So, he was kind of banking on me. “But I was taking an anatomy and physiolo�y course in high school and I was reading books like “Arrowsmith” (By Sinclair Lewis) and “Dear and Glorious Physician” (By Taylor Caldwell) and I was really taken by the notion of what a physician could do and what a gift that is.”

Q: And we should note that the “Dr.” in your title is hardly just an honori�ic — you still practice. A: “Yes. I see underserved patients monthly at the local neurolo�y clinic. Serving other people has always been something I �ind very satisfying.” Q: What do you do when you’re not being a CEO, or traveling to Hartford or D.C. on business? A: “I love to exercise, at least �ive days a week. I love to swim and to read. And my wife and I recently became grandparents for the �irst time, so we spend a lot of time with family. There’s not time for much else.” Q: What are the challenges Nuvance Health faces? A: “Integrating the organizations is still going to take a lot of time. Properly navigating that process while keeping an eye on our key priorities is important. Eight months in, we’ve accomplished a great deal. And we’re looking to add some network-wide client initiatives — heart, cancer, neuroscience programs.” Q: What about the health care business at large? A: “We will be influenced by the presidential election, regardless of who wins. Health care makes up about 20% of the national economy, over $3.5 trillion. The Medicare

growth rate is projected to be 6% per year through 2022, which is a large part of the solvency of the Medicare Trust Fund. “Spending on Medicaid is breaking states’ coffers. “And there are certain efforts to essentially repeal every element of the Affordable Care Act with block grants. (According to remarks made by U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, should the Trump administration succeed in gutting the ACA, “20 million people will lose their health insurance, insurers will once again be able to charge you more because you have a pre-existing condition, or your kid has cancer, or you’re a woman.” Block grants and per-capita caps would threaten health care access for the nearly 75 million low-income and disabled people enrolled in the Medicaid program, according to that program.) “I don’t think Medicare for All will play well on Main Street — it’s not ‘salable.’ We need to come up with a solution where we can step in and tame the increases in the cost of health care services. I think Medicare for All is a bridge too far.” Q: Is there any more M&A activity on your horizon? A: “(Laughs) I’m always looking and thinking about acquisitions, but we have so much value in front of us that we need to deal with. I think that will keep us busy for the next couple of years.”

Briefs— CONNECTICUT PLANS TO OFFER FREE TUITION FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS

First-time, full-time students can attend one of Connecticut’s community colleges essentially for free beginning next fall — although funding for the initiative has yet to be determined. The plan was approved by the Board of Regents for Higher Education. It includes Housatonic Community College in Bridgeport and Norwalk Community College. Prospective students must be Connecticut residents; full-time, �irst-time community college students; complete all available federal and institutional �inancial aid applications; and apply and register by July 15, 2020. They must have graduated from a public or private high school or have been suf�iciently homeschooled. The cost will fall in the $7 million to $15 million range, depending on how many students take advantage of the program. It is estimated that roughly 1,250 students will participate. Connecticut law requires the state to identify a funding source during the 2020 legislative session.

FEDS ORDER GARELICK & HERBS TO PAY $116K IN BACK WAGES

The owners of the Garelick & Herbs restaurants in Fair�ield County were forced to pay $116,087 in back wages and liquidated damages to 35 employees after an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division identi�ied violations of the overtime and recordkeeping provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.

The investigation determined that Jason and Paola Garelick, who own the Garelick & Herbs restaurants in Greenwich, New Canaan, Saugatuck and Westport, violated federal overtime requirements by paying hourly employees straight time rates for the hours beyond the 40-hour workweek. They also paid kitchen staff on a shift or salary basis, which created overtime violations when these employees worked more than 40 hours per week without receiving overtime. The Garelicks were also cited for failing to maintain proper records of the number of hours worked by kitchen employees. In addition to paying the back wages and damages, the Garelicks agreed to provide their employees with a written leave and overtime policy and to provide compliance training to all managers at all their restaurants related to overtime requirements.

CONNECTICUT CASINOS POST SECOND MONTH OF HIGHER SLOT REVENUE

November marked the second consecutive month that Connecticut’s tribal casinos reported year-over-year increases in their slot revenue. Last month, Mohegan Sun reported slot revenues of $45.8 million, up from $44.2 million in November 2018. The amount slot gamblers wagered in November, also known as the “handle,” was $543.8 million, down 2% from one year earlier. At Foxwoods, November’s slot revenue was $36.6 million, up from the $35.3 million generated one year earlier. The handle for the month was $452.3 million, down from the previous year’s $454.8 million. Both casinos are required to pay 25% of their slot revenues to Connecticut’s General Fund. Last month, Mohegan Sun paid the state $11.4 million and Foxwoods paid $9.5 million. The casinos’ second consecutive month of rising slot revenues followed 15 consecutive months of declines, which many gaming industry observers attributed to competition from the Massachusetts venues MGM Spring�ield and Encore Boston Harbor. — Phil Hall and Kevin Zimmerman

Clark, professor and chair, Mathematics department at Southern. “Qualified experts are needed to help industries navigate the sheer amount of data being created, maintained and shared.” In its simplest terms, data science is the science of everything associated with data: the creation of algorithms, software and techniques, mathematical/statistical theory and practice of analysis, theory and practice of visualization and presentation and data engineering. “Data science is about extracting meaningful information from data,” Imad Antonios, professor, Computer Science department at Southern. “It comprises skills and competencies from computer science, statistics and domain expertise.” If you’re a quantitatively minded problem solver, communicate effectively to a range of audiences and have a knack for telling stories with data, Southern’s B.S. in Data Science helps you hone your skills as you move through your course work. Students begin learning data science their very first semester. Coursework covers a variety of topics, from computer science and mathematics, including data mining, machine learning, web and database development, Bayesian analysis, time series analysis and nonparametric statistics. “This is a great field for students who are technically minded and intellectually curious, and who thrive on the challenge of teasing out the truths hidden in massive data sets,” Clark said. Students also complete a capstone project that incorporates all stages of the data science pipeline. “The capstone project provides students with an opportunity to apply skills from their earlier coursework to solve a data problem,” Antonios said. “Students learn domain understanding and problem analysis, data acquisition, data cleaning, model building and evaluation and they communicate the results.” While the data science field may be technical in nature, its applications are interdisciplinary, from medical care and research, pharmaceuticals, compliance management systems, insurance, marketing and more. ““There are many sub-fields within data science,” Clark said. “Graduates from the new data science program will be able to find their niche and continually customize their skill set throughout their career.” Opportunities in the field show no signs of slowing. Currently, between 60% and 73% of all data within an enterprise goes unused for analytics* so if you’re ready to pursue a career in data science, the possibilities are endless. *Sources: Forbes, Forrester

Cuomo Bridge toll may more than double for some commercial vehicles BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

he New York State Thruway Authority proposed toll increases on Dec. 19 for the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge that are lower than many people had speculated, while proposing a new discount plan for Westchester and Rockland residents that would have the effect of freezing tolls for them through 2022. The process will include meetings and public hearings and is expected to culminate in a �inal vote late in 2020. The Authority’s board was told that cashless tolling would be in place on the entire Thruway by the end of 2020. The current standard rate for using the Cuomo Bridge by a driver with a New York E-ZPass is $4.75. It would rise to $5.25 in 2021 and $5.75 in 2022. Out-of-state E-ZPass users currently pay $5. Their toll would go up to $6.04 in 2021 and $6.61 in 2022. Residents of Westchester and Rockland counties who use E-ZPass now pay $4.75 and their rate would remain at $4.75 through 2022 under the new resident discount plan that is being proposed. Commuters using E-ZPass currently pay $3. The commuter rate would go up to $3.15 in 2021 and $3.45 in 2022. To qualify for the commuter rate drivers must make 20 trips per month. Drivers without E-ZPass who are billed by mail currently pay $5. Their rate would go to $6.83 in 2021 and $7.48 in 2022, plus a $2 surcharge for each bill mailed to them. Rates for commercial vehicles on the Cuomo Bridge would increase by 31% in 2021 and 30% in 2022. Pricing depends on the type of vehicle. In one commercial category, a Class 5H tandem tractor trailer currently pays $32.75 with a New York E-ZPass or billing by mail. It would go to $55.77 with a New York E-ZPass in 2022, or $72.51 for billing by mail. Matt Howard, chief �inancial of�icer of the Thruway Authority, said that rates for commercial vehicles would be adjusted to bring them closer to rates charged at other crossings in the New York area. He said 45% of the traf�ic on the bridge in 2022 would be paying less than the full $5.75 E-ZPass rate. Robert Megna, chair of the authority’s �inance committee, said, “I have been associated with the Thruway now through all of the conversations of $10 increases in the toll, $7 increases in the tolls, $58 increases in the tolls, all through this past decade and the period that we lived through while the bridge was being constructed.”

awmakers approved Connecticut’s settlement of a lawsuit �iled by the state’s hospitals and passed legislation clarifying how restaurants should pay tipped waiters and bartenders when they are doing nontipped work. “An Act Concerning the Workforce Training Needs in the State and Revisions to and Regulation of Gratuities Permitted or Applied as Part of the Minimum Fair Wage” was passed by the House by a 125-11 majority and by the Senate with a 27-3 vote. It goes to Gov. Ned Lamont, who vetoed similar legislation in July. He is expected to sign the bill into law. The governor said the legislation “strikes the appropriate balance to protect the wages fairly earned by restaurant workers while providing relief to restaurant owners who may have complied with unclear or conflicting guidance from the prior administration’s Department of Labor.” Meanwhile, both chambers unanimously passed two bills detailing the settlement, and the implementation of the settlement, of the hospital lawsuit, which was announced earlier this month. It will cost the state $872 million over seven years while the hospitals will receive $1.8 billion over the same period. “This is a fair and reasonable settlement that limits and manages the state’s longterm risk and provides both the state and hospitals with predictability when it comes to user fee and Medicaid rates over the next seven years,” state Attorney General William Tong said. Soon after the rati�ication of the hospital agreement came word that a federal appeals court ruled that the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate is unconstitutional, in light of the Congress’ elimination of the tax penalty that was intended to enforce it. The 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans sent the issue back to the Federal District Court in Fort Worth to rule on whether other aspects of the ACA, or Obamacare, should remain in place. Such a ruling is unlikely to occur before the 2020 election. “The most important thing to understand is that, for now, nothing changes,” said Patricia Baker, president and CEO of the Connecticut Health Foundation. “The open enrollment period to buy health insurance for 2020 through Access Health CT, the state’s health insurance exchange, remains in effect (through Jan. 15), and federal �inancial aid is still available to help people pay

for their coverage. The existing rules about coverage still apply.” Baker also noted that overturning the entirety of the ACA “would have signi�icant effects on Connecticut residents.” A 2017 report on the impact of the ACA in Connecticut identi�ied effects on nearly everyone in the state. The �indings in the report, which was commissioned by the Connecticut Health Foundation and produced by the Urban Institute, include: • More than 160,000 state residents — 5.4% of the population under 65 — had health care coverage because of the health law and would likely be uninsured without it. • People of color were especially likely to have bene�ited from the health law. Of those who gained coverage because of the ACA, 46% were people of color. • 1.9 million people with employer-sponsored insurance gained zero-copay preventive care, protection from catastrophic costs because of the law’s ban on lifetime coverage limits and immediate access to health insurance if they lose job-based coverage. • Connecticut residents covered by Medicare gained access to annual physicals, mammograms, colonoscopies and other preventive services with no out-of-pocket charges, as well as signi�icantly more coverage for prescription drug costs by reducing the “donut hole.”

HEALTh CARE | By Anthony J. Enea FOUR EASY WAYS TO KEEP NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS WE ARE FAST APPROACHING that time of year when many of us feel compelled to make resolutions that are often very difficult to keep. The most common are to exercise more, eat healthier and lose weight. While admirable, they are sadly often doomed for failure (trust me, I know!). Contrary to the above, the four (4) resolutions stated below are easy to keep and will help ensure your estate and elder law planning needs are in good order for years to come: 1. If you have executed a Durable Power of Attorney, take it out of the drawer and review it. Check to see if the individual you have appointed as the agent is still the person you wish to handle your financial affairs if you are no longer able to do so. Is your named agent still in good health and someone you have confidence in? Confirm that you have selected an alternate agent in the event the primary agent can no longer act. Review the Power of Attorney to determine if the agent is given broad powers to handle your affairs. For example, does he or she have unlimited gifting powers? Does the agent have the ability to create and fund an irrevocable and/or revocable trust, transfer assets to said trust as well as your spouse and other loved ones without any limitations? The most frequently occurring problem with a standard short form Durable Power of Attorney is the lack of broad gifting powers. This prevents the agent from making transfers to protect the assets of a principal who is incapacitated and unable to handle his or her own financial affairs. If the Power of Attorney lacks the needed gifting powers the incapacitated person’s family may need to commence a guardianship proceeding with the Court to obtain authority to make the necessary transfer. It is an expensive and time-consuming procedure. If you have not executed a Durable Power of Attorney with very broad powers, I suggest you consider doing so. 2. Be proactive with respect to ensuring that you have taken all appropriate steps to protect your life savings from the cost of long-term care. Unfortunately, the cost of long-term care has well surpassed estate taxes as the number one factor resulting in the dissipation of assets being available to be passed to one’s spouse, children and grandchildren for the vast majority of Americans. With the Federal and New York estate tax exemptions being relatively high ($11.4 million per person Federally and $5.74 million in New York for 2019) they are of little concern to more than 99% of Americans. However, the exorbitant cost of longterm care, whether it be a nursing home or at home is both a real and impactful expense. Whether it be considering the purchase of long-term care insurance or creating a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust to protect one’s house and other non-IRA assets, taking the steps to learn about said options is a lot easier than going to the gym 5 times per week and not eating any

carbs. They will generally not take more than one phone call; and one or two meetings with an experienced elder law attorney; 3. Review any Last Wills and/or Trusts you have executed so as to determine that the beneficiary(ies) executors and trustee(s) named therein are still consistent with your wishes and that they are still able to perform the duties of an executor and/or trustee. It is also not unusual for one to have had a falling out with the person previously named as a beneficiary and/or executor in one’s Last Will. If your relationship has changed you may wish to consider changing your Last Will. Additionally, as one’s family grows the possibility exists that a child and/or grandchild may have developed a disability. If the possibility exists that said disabled or incapacitated child/grandchild will inherit under the term of your Last Will and/or Trust it might be prudent to consider having said beneficiary’s share held in a Special Needs Trust for him or

her. This would help ensure that the amount inherited by the disabled person does not disqualify them from eligibility for any federal and/or state programs they might be entitled to; 4. Last but not least, review your health care proxy to ensure that you have a named agent and an alternate agent. All too often the proxy is erroneously executed with two named agents which is not legally permitted in New York. It is also important that your agent specifically knows what your wishes are regarding your health care and end of life decision making, in the event you are no longer able to make these decisions. You should have a candid conversation with your health care agent as to whether or not you wish to be placed on life support and the conditions that need to be present in doing so or not doing so. The above stated resolutions can be eas-

ily accomplished in a relatively short period of time. A handful of hours at the most. While I urge you to consider healthy eating and exercise, a healthy estate plan is also important to your peace of mind. On behalf of Enea, Scanlan and Sirignano, LLP, I wish you and your families a Blessed Holiday Season and a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year. *Anthony J.

In BRiEF | Westchester County Rye Brook’s RNN picks up 8 TV stations RNN National Media Group, headquartered in Rye Brook, is buying eight TV stations from NRJ for $81.2 million. The stations are: KSCI-TV in the Los Angeles market area; WTVE-TV and WPHYCD serving the Philadelphia market; KFWDTV in the Dallas-Fort Worth market; KUBETV in the Houston market; KCNS-TV serving the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose market; WMFP-TV in the Boston area; and KIKU-TV in the Honolulu market. RNN currently owns four TV stations, including WRNN-TV in New York, which transmits from the World Trade Center. The agreement to purchase the eight

stations was �irmed up Nov. 27, and applications for transfer of the government licenses to operate the eight stations were �iled with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC must approve the transfers and, once that has been done, the deal can close, which is expected to occur in the �irst quarter of 2020. “This is a milestone for our company. We are looking forward to programming our newly expanded, national presence,” said Richard French Jr., CEO and president of RNN.

DONNA NIVES, CO-FOUNDER OF ADOPT A DOG IN WESTCHESTER AND CONNECTICUT, DIES AT 88

Donna Nives, a Greenwich philanthropist and co-founder of the nonpro�it Adopt a Dog in Westchester and Connecticut, passed away on Dec. 15 at the age of 88. Born and raised in Reading, Pennsylvania, and educated at the University of Miami, she pursued a career as a fashion knitwear designer in New York City. With her husband, Wall Street executive Fred Nives, she ran a family foundation that provided funds to organizations focused on animal welfare, social services, Jewish culture and the hearing impaired. The Bronx Zoo’s Fred and Donna Nives African Wild Dog Pavilion was named in their honor. Fred Nives died in 2015 at the age of 94. In 1981, Nives teamed with Gloria Scheuer and Pam Fahnestock to launch Adopt a Dog, a nonpro�it seeking to �ind homes for abandoned animals in regional shelters. The organization is headquartered in Greenwich and acquired a former veterinary clinic in Armonk in 2002. Adopt a Dog employs a 15-person staff and cares for between 35 and 40 dogs at any given time, and it also provides animal welfare educational outreach in local communities.

MTA APPROVES $10.4M CONTRACT FOR REPLACEMENT OF MOUNT VERNON’S THIRD AVENUE BRIDGE

A design-build contract to allow Metro-North Railroad to replace the Third Avenue Bridge over the New Haven Line in Mount Vernon has been approved by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Board. The $10.4 million contract is expected to be awarded to John Civetta & Sons Inc., based in the Bronx. The replacement of the 119-year-old bridge is expected to take about 18 months. Metro-North said it plans to solicit design-build proposals from companies next year for the replacement of the South Street and Fulton Avenue bridges. Other Mount Vernon bridges to be replaced include the 14th Street Bridge, which reopened on July 3 and the Sixth Avenue and 10th Avenue bridges, which are under construction and expected to reopen in 2020-21. —Phil Hall, Kevin Zimmerman and Peter Katz WSBJ-NRNY-Small-Business.indd 1

According to documents on �ile with the Westchester County Clerk, �inancing for the transaction included assumption of an existing mortgage of about $20 million. A real estate listing offering the building for sale showed that the property included 24 one-bedroom and 27 two-bedroom units. The building’s amenities were said to include two theater rooms, a �itness center, a party room, stainless steel appliances and storage units. There were parking spaces for 95 vehicles. The listing said the average rent was $4,147 with a price per square foot of $46. The building’s website shows that furnished apartments are available for short- or longterm lease. The building is set back from Central Avenue and is on elevated land with mature trees. The lot size is approximately 2.3 acres. Muss Development traces its history back to the early 1900s when it completed its �irst project, building 350 beach houses in Gravesend and Bensonhurst in Brooklyn. In the late 1920s, it built a 3,000home community in Bayside, Queens. Another highlight for the company included constructing the 11-building, 1,200-unit Northridge Co-ops in Jackson Heights in the late 1940s. The company branched out into shopping centers, hotels and of�ice space. In 1981, it completed Woodbrooke, a 1,200-unit planned residential community on Staten Island. Another company highlight was 1998’s Brooklyn Renaissance Plaza, a 1.5 million-square-foot, mixed-use hotel and of�ice complex. Muss Development calculates that it has built more than 15 million square feet of commercial, residential, industrial and retail space in New York City’s �ive boroughs, including the 14-acre Sky View Center & Sky View Parc in Flushing, Queens, with 1,200 apartments and 800,000 square feet of retail space.

New Rochelle project at Boys & Girls Club site draws criticism, support think that pain is worth it for the payoff of having this wonderful project come into fruition and I 100% support the project.” Architect David Gross, founding partner of GF55 Partners of New York City, said that the plan calls for the new Boys & Girls Club to be built closer to the Prince Street side of the property than is the current one. “Our plan is to move it forward, make it prominent, more visually attractive, and put the parking (garage) between the Boys & Girls Club and the new apartment building.” He said decorative panels would be used on the exterior of the garage. “It’s hard to make a 65-foot parking garage playful, but we’re working on that.”

plan to tear down the New Rochelle Boys & Girls Club building at 116 Guion Place and build a new club along with a parking garage and 179-unit affordable apartment building drew some expressions of concern, along with plenty of support, from some residents at the Dec. 17 meeting of the New Rochelle Planning Board. The project is being proposed by the NRP Group along with 64 Lincoln Ave., Kensworth Consulting and the Boys & Girls Club. One issue discussed was where the estimated 150 youngsters who regularly use the existing facility would go during the construction period. In addition, some felt that the project would bring an end to their use of the existing open space on the proposed project’s site. Attorney Janet Giris of the White Plains-based law �irm DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr LLP explained that there are 3.2 acres, which include approximately one acre where the Lincoln Towers building at 64 Lincoln Ave. is situated. That acre would be “carved off.” “The remainder of the property, a portion of which is currently developed with the existing Boys & Girls Club, will be redeveloped,” she said. “The property will continue to comply in all aspects with the zoning ordinance.” She referred to the project as a public-private partnership. Three new structures are proposed for the site — the apartment building, a parking garage and the new Boys & Girls Club. Lutonya Russell-Humes, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club, said, “The expectation is that the build will take anywhere from 18 to 24 months and that the Boys & Girls Club building itself will be built simultaneously with other parts of the project. As a result of that, we will relocate programming for our participants until the site itself is deemed safe for kids to return to the new building.” One of the several residents who spoke, Sharon Footes, said, “It is not OK for 18 to 24 months for these children being shuttled elsewhere. That is two school years, that is two summers, and that is two school years and two summers too many. These kids should be looked at like as being the issue and displacing these children for 18 to 24 months is absolutely absurd.” Minister Mark McLean, branch president of the NAACP in New Rochelle, said, “I realize there are some concerns and fears. Wherever there is change and progress, there is some concern and pain. But I

stellar panel of business owners provided their insight and expertise on what you need to know when buying or selling a business at a recent Business Council of Westchester power breakfast.

Titled Building and Capitalizing on Enterprise Value, the highly informative and engaging program featured a panel that included Chris Jones, Co‑Founder and CFO of Durante Rentals; Jackie Kopcho, Managing Partner of Big Branch Capital; Dr. Jennifer Ratner, Co‑Owner of Audiology Associates of Westchester; Fred Schwam, former CEO and owner of American Christmas and Stewart Strauss, President and CEO of Strauss Paper Company. The moderator was Ted Miller, Founder and President of DataKey Consulting. The program, sponsored by Tompkins Mahopac Bank, was held December 6 at the Hilton Westchester. Here are what the panelists had to say about their experiences buying or selling a company. Fred Schwam, whose Mount Vernon company was acquired earlier this year, said what made his company attractive to a seller was more than financial results. It was also the company’s culture. “Our success as a commercial Christmas decorating firm was really a byproduct of having developed this amazing team of people who were genuinely passionate about our business and cared about our clients and most

AsK Andi Filling in the pieces of the puzzle MY PARTNERS AND I ARE HARD-WORKING BUSINESS OWNERS. DESPITE ALL OUR HARD WORK, WE SOMETIMES MISS OUT ON OPPORTUNITIES TO DO A GOOD JOB RUNNING THE COMPANY. WE KNOW THERE ARE PROBLEMS, BUT WE DON’T DO WHAT WE SHOULD TO SOLVE PROBLEMS QUICKLY ENOUGH TO KEEP US AS PROFITABLE AS WE COULD BE. IT’S A PUZZLE AND IT FEELS LIKE WE’RE MISSING A FEW PIECES. THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Brainstorm a list of critical success factors that the business must focus on. Divide the work, respect the fact that there’s more than one way to accomplish a goal and allow for mistakes. Bring in outside education to help expand the company’s capacity to perform. Most small-business owners start out doing their business. They have a passion and they follow it. Along the way, they pick up customers, employees, vendors, experience, new ideas and, if they do it right, additional opportunity to grow the business. As the business grows, its needs for leadership change. More employees, more work to do, more customers to serve means more to manage. It also means a shifting landscape, from where the business was headed initially to where it’s going from this point forward. Crafting a future for the business becomes more about helping people to succeed, creating a mission that everyone can grab onto and unifying the team around a common purpose and set of goals. Those are entirely different skills from those required to do the work of the business, skills that successful small-business owners learn to master. Make a list of things the business must be able to do in the future in order to be optimally successful. Of course, start with tasks. Then add in the leadership-related component. Unify around a common purpose, support each other even when personal differences might cause people to withdraw. Identify and remove roadblocks that get in the way of personal and organizational success. Once you have a list of critical success factors, things the business must be able to do well in order to succeed in the future, map out the tasks necessary to master those success factors. Consider education as a crucial component of progress. Live by the statement: “What you know today is not enough for you to be successful tomorrow.” Set out goals that point the way to your future business. Create a clear picture of what the company looks like 5 years down the road. If you’re not sure, take some guesses. De�ine what you want to own in the future. Include the values of growth, pro�it, stability, predictability and peace of mind. If you’re having trouble getting it down on paper, get someone to help you.

Get moving toward those goals. If things don’t pan out, you can always change the course you take to hit your goals. But if you don’t have purposeful forward momentum on your side, you’ll get stuck every time. Expand the company’s ability to perform. Evaluate people for �it — who can do more, who does a good job right where

they are, who is capable but underperforming and who needs to �ind something else to do. Build a training plan for everyone in the company and a recruiting plan to help you focus on adding talent. Take action to get people what they need, whether it’s instruction, expanded opportunity to spread their wings or a new job doing something else that’s a better �it. Get an education yourself on how to be a better leader, more than a doer. BOOK RECOMMENDATION: “What Happens Now? Reinvent Yourself as a Leader Before

Your Business Outruns You,” by John Hillen and Mark Nevins.

SCENIC HUDSON AND PARTNERS PROTECT FARMLAND IN ORANGE, ULSTER COUNTIES

Helping to sustain the operations of nine farms that provide healthy food to local and New York City markets, Scenic Hudson and two farm owners have permanently protected 376 acres of agricultural land in Orange County’s Black Dirt region and just outside the city of Kingston in Ulster County, with assistance from the Massachusetts-based not-for-profit Equity Trust for the Orange County project. The 165-acre Chester Agricultural Center and 211-acre Esopus Agricultural Center were established by two groups motivated to achieve social impacts beyond treating their investments as purely commercial endeavors. Utilizing long-term affordable lease structures, they have committed to the furtherance of vibrant farming communities in the Hudson Valley. Both properties were identified as priorities of Scenic Hudson’s Foodshed Conservation Plan, a data-driven blueprint for ramping up collaborative farmland-protection efforts to create a secure source of fresh, local food for the Hudson Valley and New York City.
