PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

BOMA Members “Can Sleep When the Wind Blows”

I recall the story of the old man who was looking for

employment from the farmer. When asked of his qualifications for

the job the old man said, “Well, I can sleep when the wind blows.”

While his statement was not understood by the farmer, the man

was hired anyway. One night the farmer was awakened by a

howling wind. He went to the hired hand and demanded that he

get out of bed to tie things down and shelter the animals. The old

man rolled over and said, “No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the

wind blows.”

It was only then that the farmer learned his assets were properly

secured in anticipation of the pending storm.

Howling winds are common place nowadays. I recently received

an email from one of our theater guests who asked why our

patriotic spirit was waning. He noted that we had not been flying

our flags. I responded by telling him that to protect flags, we don’t

fly them when we are anticipating high winds. It was only then I

realized they had been down for most of the spring.

Around the globe newrecords are being set by MotherNature. Temperatures,precipitation, floods andearthquakes are all outside ofnormal expectations. TheNational Weather Service justreported that Utah had thewettest and coldest spring onrecord. Precipitation in Aprilwas 200 percent of normal, andMay’s was 225 percent. Surely,there is one thing we can expect:The unexpected will affect us inthe near future. How are we tosleep nights with so manyunexpected things occurring andpromising to occur?

BOMA Utah is engaged inhelping our community sleepnights by focusing its attentionon business continuityplanning. We areaccomplishing this byencouraging the developmentof such plans now and byparticipating in the UtahShakeOut next year. While wehave yet to see the bigearthquake here, flood watersand strong winds are upon us.These can be just as damagingto an individual business’business continuity asearthquakes.

BOMA Utah members areasking businesses, families andindividuals to make businesscontinuity plans and to registeras ShakeOut participants.Registration is accomplishedonline atwww.shakeout.org/utah/.Because of our planning andthe ShakeOut exercise, weexpect many of us will say withconfidence, “I can sleep whenthe wind blows.”

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Nothing Changes But The NameDivision of Homeland Security is now Division of Emergency Management

The Utah agency tasked with helping the state prepare for andmanage disasters has a new name that better reflects its mission.Effective May 10, 2011, the Utah Division of Homeland Securityhas been renamed the Utah Division of Emergency Management.

Rep. Curt Oda, R-Clearfield, sponsored HB 80 during the 2011Legislative Session.The bill was passed unanimously and was signedby Gov. Gary Herbert on March 18.

Col. Keith Squires, deputy public safety commissioner andHomeland Security director, said the name change eliminates publicconfusion.

“For years, our employees have received phone calls related toimmigration, security at airports, work visas and scams,” Squiressaid. “Many of those are law enforcement functions, which areprovided by the federal government or other divisions of the UtahDepartment of Public Safety under an overall umbrella ofHomeland Security.”

Despite the division’s name change, its duties remain the same.The following are programs and sections within the division:

• Be Ready Utah: The state’s emergency preparedness campaign.Make a plan, get a kit, be informed, get involved.

• Community support liaisons: Eight liaisons are stationedaround the state to help with resource coordination, trainingand planning.

• Training and exercise: Helping the state’s emergencyresponders and emergency managers learn their roles and testtheir emergency plans.

• Grants: Our finance department passes millions of dollars in

NEWS ADVOCACY

Full Disclosure ofCommercial Real EstateSales Pending LegislationBy Stephen M. West

The Full Disclosure Bill would mean all individual commercialreal estate sales will be reported to the State of Utah. This fulldisclosure will include all details related to the sale. The mandatedsale reporting would be extensive, similar to a full HUD sale report.Fines and penalties will be issued for failure to report theinformation in accordance to the required format and deadline.

BOMA Utah is not supporting the Full Disclosure legislationbecause the system would be extremely expensive to build andmaintain. The legislation would require software development, newpolicies, procedures and training and new government staff tocontrol and maintain the database and to enforce the new rule. Thereporting would also prove to be costly for property owners. Theseadditional costs would need to be paid by tax increase, likely tocommercial property tax rates, or by a new tax, likely a sales tax on areal estate sale.

The commercial sale data will not be an effective tool forimproving the fairness of assessments. The annual commercialproperty sales are too few in number to develop a valid benchmarkfor the county and are only valid for the sold property. Commercialproperties in the same geographic area can be completely different,making the disclosure ineffective. Also, mass assessment systemsand software for commercial property are designed and driven byproperty income information and not sales data.

The Full Disclosure legislation could damage Utah’s reputationfor being a business-friendly state. The legislation requires moregovernment rules, regulations and reporting and increased taxation.With the same law as neighboring states, Utah would have nostrategic difference to attract real estate investments.

Rep. Gage Froerer met with two members of the BOMAAdvocacy Committee and other real estate professionals in the stateand indicated he had support to pass the Full Disclosure Bill. BOMAUtah and other real estate professionals negotiated to have the billdelayed for a year. This will give the real estate community time todevelop a proposal to improve the fairness of commercial assessments.

BOMA and IREM could instead expand their databases, addingreporting for counties not along the Wasatch Front. Markets thatare already in the database would increase, including properties inall segments of commercial real estate.

By using these databases, a new database will not need to becreated, making it a more cost-effective solution and eliminatingthe need for an additional tax. In this case, meaningful populationinformation would be provided without harming an individualproperty’s strategic information. The improved data will improveassessments overall. And Utah’s image as a business-friendly statewill be protected, encouraging investment in commercial real estate.

Stephen M. West is senior property manager for CottonwoodManagement Services. He is also the chair for BOMA Utah’s AdvocacyCommittee. He can be reached at 801.365.6217 [email protected].

“As an associate member, my involvement

with BOMA Utah through the board of

directors, committee and member level is

probably the best thing I participate in to

maintain my existing customer

relationships and introduce myself and

my business to new potential clients. I am

a firm believer in understanding your

clients business to customize your offering in a way that will serve

them best.

“What better way to understand the world of commercial real

estate management than being a part of the biggest and best real

estate organization in the country? The program of speakers

includes updates on the real estate market in general, as well as the

economy, making it relevant to all those who attend.

“Lastly, I obtain a great amount of satisfaction knowing I am

helping an industry that I depend on for business as well as

partnering with other BOMA members to make a difference in our

community through the various charitable events and work

programs BOMA Utah organizes. I have been involved with

various industry organizations over the years, and BOMA Utah is

by far the best I have come across. I would recommend any and all

that are in the commercial real estate industry or depend on the real

estate industry for their business to seriously consider becoming a

member. You won’t regret it.”

Eric S. Pauly, regional sales manager NW Region, CentiMark Roof Systems

“BOMA Utah is comprised of an exciting

group of professionals with whom I am

proud to associate. They are enthusiastic

in contributing their exceptional talents to

the organization. We have taken on some

remarkable activities in recent years which

are personally gratifying and which

demonstrate BOMA Utah’s collective

strength. Among a few of those things in which we excel is our

engagement in unselfishly working with charities and in helping

businesses make business continuity plans for disastrous events. We

are recognized by the state of Utah as being the only liaison

between the state and statewide commercial property owners

relative to emergency events. I am enjoying every occasion that my

membership permits, whether it is for lunch, a work project or

planning and carrying out activities.”

Jim Derrick, special projects and property managerLarry H. Miller Management Company

“As a local Salt Lake commercial property

manager, I feel the BOMA Utah chapter

is a great resource for gathering trade-

specific information and putting it to work

at the properties I manage. My association

with BOMA Utah gives me a competitive

edge over all other property managers who

do not get this opportunity to network

with BOMA’s best in class local managers and vendors.”
