Estate expert: Now is the time to consider using federal tax exemption BY JOE GARDYASZ

I recently sat down for a brief visit with Charles “Skip” Fox IV, a nationally recognized estate tax expert from Virginia, for an overview of some of the issues he follows for his high-net-worth clients (roughly $25 million to $500 million in assets). Fox, who just recently ended his term as president of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, is a partner with the McGuireWoods law firm and has spoken on estate law across the country. He was here in Des Moines at the invitation of Mike Zuendel, majority owner and adviser with Legacy Bridge LLC, a multifamily private office in West Des Moines. Over nearly four decades of practicing estate law, the most consistent pattern Fox has seen is that the laws are constantly changing, he said. “I’ve seen the [federal estate] exemption go from $125,800 to $10 million,” he said. “I’ve seen the [estate tax] rates go from 55% to 35%, back up to 40%, with variations in between and all sorts of different rules. And that’s going to continue. That’s why people, when they do their planning, need to be flexible in it so when there is a change in the law there are no adverse results.” For instance, the U.S. Supreme Court is now reviewing a few cases in which estates have challenged states’ efforts to impose estate taxes on the basis that there is insufficient nexus within the state by the deceased or members of the family. The inflation-indexed estate tax exemption, currently $11.4 million, was nearly doubled by the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, but that amount sunsets to the previous amount in 2025. “With the ability to create these larger trusts with the [bigger] exemption, more trusts are going to be subject to income tax,” Fox said. “You usually set up a trust for the benefit of family members. … You want to see what you can do to avoid income taxes, especially when several states are trying to tax the income. … We’ll be waiting to see what sort of decision the Supreme Court issues, which I would assume would be before the term ends in June.” Iowa’s inheritance tax applies to a relatively small number of people, and is not as onerous as many states’ estate tax landscapes, he said. He described Iowa’s income tax system as “not draconian, unlike some other states’.” According to the Tax Policy Center, there were only an estimated 1,890 taxable estates in 2018. The ideal situation he recommends for many clients, particularly as they get on in age, is to set up residency in a state with no income tax and no state death tax. Seventeen states and the District of Columbia have state death taxes. Iowa has an inheritance tax, he said, “but it only applies to a few people, so you don’t have to worry about it too much.” With the larger exemption, “for people who can afford to, they ought to be giving as much of it away to other family members, so that if the exemption [is decreased], they’ve gotten it out of their estate.” For many families whose wealth is measured by the acre on the family farm, a technique called special use valuation may allow them to pass the farm along to family members who intend to continue operating the farm, providing them a break on taxes, Fox said. “Also, with so many farms being operated as limited partnerships or LLCs, there are ways to use those to not only minimize liability and keep it in the family, but also get discounts when the [owner] dies,” he said. Of course, that has to be done with every i dotted and t crossed, or the government may challenge the discounts. “It’s a lot easier to do the planning when the person is alive rather than after the person dies,” Fox noted. There’s been a lot of growth in high-wealth families in the United States, and the number of so-called family offices that offer customized planning for them is keeping pace, Zuendel said. In 2014, there were about 2,000 private family offices nationwide; that figure is expected to reach 5,000 by 2020. The trend has been toward more multifamily private offices, as those offer greater cost efficiencies for families, he said. Notably, if you look at the number of families in the $10 million-plus net worth range, Iowa likely has about 700 of those high-wealth families, Zuendel estimates.

WeWork wants usBY KENT DARR

Coworking gets a lot of attention these days. It’s a pretty nifty concept, providing temporary — you can call it fleeting — space that’s not necessarily defined by a walled box for startups, even Fortune 500 companies with employees on the fly or checking out prospects for a permanent move Geoff Wood is running Gravitate Coworking out of a couple of spaces in tony locations — Valley Junction in West Des Moines and the former Bank of America Building in downtown Des Moines. Along with building owner Jeff Young, Wood has brought the term stairitorium to the market with a mini-auditorium built on a maple staircase. The staritorium is worth a look. Wood’s tenants pay what amounts to a membership fee to call his take on the contemporary office their own. That’s the same model that WeWork has used as it has evolved from a startup with one office in Manhattan to the city’s largest tenant.

Author and consultant Laura Rowley mentioned during our Business Record Commercial Real Estate Trends and Issues forum that WeWork now is the largest tenant in New York City and occupies more than 45 million square feet in 100 cities around the globe. WeWork is huge in Boston and apparently has taken a look at JSC Properties’ timber-framed mix-use building along East Grand Avenue in Des Moines’ East Village, Jake Christensen, a partner in the project, said during the Business Record event. WeWork is back in the news after saying that it filed for an initial public offering in December 2018, according to the New York Times, which reported that the company was valued at $47 billion in an investment earlier this year. In 2018, WeWork — it recently changed its formal name to We Co. — lost $1.9 billion on revenues of $1.8 billion. Still, Rowley said the company is changing relationships in commercial real estate, “eating the lunches” of landlords and brokers alike. Read more about the public offering, in which the company hopes we all take a bite out of the company: https://nyti.ms/2DEiSiR.

VICKYMcKIM

Thinking of everything—and everyone—ahead of the worst

Vicky McKim was once congratulated by a police officer for the thorough, state-of-the-art emergency kit she packed for her son’s car when he was a teenager.

“It’s got nylon rope, it’s got tents, it’s got mylar blankets, it’s got granola bars,” McKim ticks off as she recalled the episode. “So then the officer calls and says, ‘I just want you to know that’s an awesome kit.’ ”

Her son was fine -- the officer initiated the stop only because of a broken taillight. As for McKim, it’s her job to think of everything that could possibly go wrong – and tell her clients how to prepare for it all.

McKim is the risk management and business resilience director at Aureon Consulting, which she joined in 2014. Today, she advises both Aureon and clients on risk assessment, disaster management and business continuity in the face of emergencies both natural and man-made.

McKim got her start as an operations manager for Holmes Murphy & Associates in 1986. By the time she joined Marsh in 1996, her skills had grown from managing telecommunications networks to include business continuity, critical systems compliance and emergency assessments. McKim was the director of business continuance and protection at Aviva from 2006 to 2008 and worked as a business continuity consultant for five years before joining Aureon.

WHEN YOU MEET SOMEONE FOR THE FIRST TIME, HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR ROLE?

I really am focused on managing our operational risk. I don’t do the financial side so much, but I do focus on the environment, the governance risk and technology risks.

I’ll look at the natural threats that are around a location. Here in Iowa, we’re in tornado zones, so obviously that’s the first one that comes to mind. There’s some of the other things that people don’t normally think about, like abandoned coal mines ... What people don’t realize is about a third of the city of Des Moines is undermined by coal mines. So if we ever had things like a minor earthquake, just a little tremor, we could have some serious problems here in the metro area. … I also look at infrastructure that’s around us. Right outside [Aureon] we have the interstate not even 100 yards away. Very few people know that there’s a lot of hazmat … nuclear waste that’s going up and down that interstate constantly.

On the governance side, we’re looking at onboarding/offboarding processes. We’re also looking at corporate governance, we’re looking at technology governance -- not so much what they say, but what they’re actually practicing. Sometimes, what I find when I’m doing assessments for them, they’ll have policies … but when you actually go in and you assess for companies, you’ll find that they’re not actually doing what they say that they’re doing. … I’m also doing business continuity planning. That’s what you do when you can’t get rid of any more risk, you mitigated as much of the threat as you possibly can. … So we’ll look then at putting in a continuity plan, a business recovery plan, around those residual risks. Which brings us down to a further level of mitigation, where it’s an acceptable risk that that point.

WHAT ARE THE MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT YOUR ROLE?

A lot of times, people say “that will never happen.” That’s such a fallacy, and it happens all the time. They’re thinking of these catastrophic events -- catastrophic events actually do happen. We’ve seen it here in the United States -- you know, the Northeast blackout [in 2003], three days of no power.

We also have, here in Iowa, the flooding, Parkersburg just disappearing off the map [in the 2008 tornado]. Things like sinkholes, things like workplace violence, those happen all the time.

The other thing that I think is happening that people fail to recognize is the constant, small daily disruptions when you’re down. Maybe you have a contact center, and you’re down for two hours here or three hours there; that begins to erode your client confidence in your ability to deliver services.

HOW DO YOU BEGIN?

There’s several different things I offer to our clients. One is just a gap assessment, so if they have plans currently, and they just want me to come in and take a look at their program and review their plans.

I can conduct risk assessments for them. That’s really beneficial for a lot of companies because they don’t look at risk. … I’ve talked to loss control agents about what they look at and what they review. There’s a big difference between what an insurance carrier is looking at and what an operational risk manager looks at as well. So I’m able to offer them a perspective that they’re not going to get from their insurance carrier.

YOU BELIEVE THAT DISASTER PREPAREDNESS EXTENDS BEYOND THE OFFICE. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT?

One of the things in this industry that’s super important is preparing your employees. Your employees are not going to be able to respond if they’re worried about their own families at home.

It’s those kinds of things your kids know, “If something happens and I’m separated from my family, I know that I’m to go north on the interstate to the first McDonald’s and stop there and wait for my mom. And if they won’t let me stop there, I go to the next one. And my mom’s going to look at every McDonald’s along the way until she finds me.”

Without asking, without preparing your families, they’re not going to be able to effectively respond to help you recover when you need it. If you prepare them, they’re going to be better able to respond and come to your aid at the business level, because their families are taken care of.

CAN YOU SHARE THE STORY ABOUT YOUR SON’S GIFT WHEN HE WAS A CHILD?

I was working at Marsh, and I was doing telephone system cuts and kind of doing business continuity on the side and was taking over that full-time role. Obviously when you think doom

and gloom all day long, it kind of affects your personality a little bit.

He gave me a little [toy] named Gilbert. And he said, “Mom, you need this little guy to cheer you up.” I still have him at home.

[At the office] we would play with him in one of those stress-relieving ways. One time, we had a little sand candle, and we would undo paper clips and stick Hot Tamales on them so that it looked like hot dogs. We would tape it to Gilbert and put it over the “fire,” and he would have a picnic. We would just do crazy things and we would laugh our heads off.

When you’re thinking death and mayhem, and the environment’s super stressful, some people start drinking. They get their escape that way. I used Gilbert, which was a lot safer and saner.

HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

You have to have a way. My husband and I, we love the outdoors. Just for me to get out of the risk environment for a little bit and just go be normal ... You have to be grandma, you have to be wife. You have to be mom or husband or father or whatever it is. I won’t watch

sad movies. I absolutely refuse, because when you’re dealing with disasters, there’s enough trauma to last you a lifetime.

WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU’VE BEEN READING/WATCHING/LISTENING TO?

There’s a great book out called “Crisis Management,” and it’s by Regina Phelps. She’s been practicing probably longer than I have for disaster recovery and business continuity/risk management. She just put this book out there this year, and it’s phenomenal. It’s like a road map. If you’re going to implement, it’s a great read because she’s very, very practical. I find that’s what you miss sometimes with loss control agents, they’re not thinking practically. ... That’s been one that has been a good read for me, good reminder on that emergency operation center and some of the things that go into that. n

Building innovative companies requires ready venture capital that is willing to bet on companies that might come up with the next big thing or just as easily fizzle.

Iowa, along with the Midwest, lays claim to just a sliver of the ven-ture capital dollars that flow copiously from Silicon Valley, New York and Boston. Looked at from a basic economic perspective, the demand for venture deals in the Midwest outstrips the supply of Midwest-based venture capital by a ratio of 3-to-1, according to Adam Claypool, a princi-pal with Bridgepoint Merchant Banking in Des Moines.

The relative scarcity of venture capi-tal makes it a more challenging market in which to find funding in Iowa, but sea-soned entrepreneurs and investors alike agree: Solid deals are going to attract and find capital.

“There is always funding available for good companies, because there are high-net-worth individuals and investment groups in Iowa that are looking for opportunities,” said Mike Vasquez, a serial entrepreneur in Des Moines who has launched more than a half-dozen successful venture-backed companies over the past 30 years. “The dif-ference here compared with a Silicon Valley is that you have a plethora of opportunity there, so the volume is just so much higher. Obviously, in Iowa, the deal volume is not as high.”

As a region, the Midwest accounted for just 1.7 percent of venture capi-

tal deals that were funded in 2018, compared with 38 percent funded on the West Coast and and nearly 25 percent in the Mid-Atlantic states, ac-cording to National Venture Capital Association data.

“That is a real negative in the Midwest,” said Iowa venture capitalist John Pappajohn. “There is just not as much money available as there is in

the Silicon Valley or in the Boston area. The universities and schools have yet to help come up with the funds to help many of these startups make it. But if you try hard enough, you can find money. You’ve got to knock on doors. You start with family, you go to friends. We have access to money de-pending on the technology and how attrac-tive it is. If the deal is good enough, I can finance it on Wall Street.”

According to data from the National Venture Capital Association provided by Bridgepoint Merchant Banking, Iowa ranked 33rd in the country for venture capi-tal funding last year, with approximately $85 million in venture financing occurring in Iowa — just six-tenths of 1 percent of all U.S. venture funding.

California — home of Silicon Valley — is the overwhelming leader in venture capital, accounting for nearly 60 percent of transac-

tions and just over one-third of the total U.S. deal volume in venture capi-tal last year. New York and Massachusetts were the second and third most active states, with about 11 and 9 percent of the transactions, respectively.

As Bridgepoint Merchant Banking’s Claypool sees it: “There continues

“There is always funding

available for good companies,

because there are high-

net-worth individuals and

investment groups in Iowa that

are looking for opportunities.”

– Mike Vasquez, serial entrepreneur

to be a shortage of capital in Iowa and the Midwest — and it’s made our culture different.”

Claypool noted that over the last five years, the amount of U.S. ven-ture capital invested as first-time funding has dropped from 34.8 percent to 23.7 percent nationally. “So there are fewer first-time fundings and more follow-on fundings. However, that’s not the case in Iowa, which has consistently had the majority of funding as first-time funding,” he said.

Nearly three-quarters of venture funding in the Midwest in the past five years has been first-time funding, while the remainder has been for follow-on funding, Claypool said, citing National Venture Capital Asso-ciation data. Consequently, there’s substantially less capital available in Iowa for subsequent funding rounds.

“That has created a different mindset,” Claypool said. “If I’m a startup company in California, my goal is: How do I get my next financing round? In Iowa, the mindset is: I’ve got to grind my way to profitability as soon as possible, because I may not get a follow-on round of financing.”

Over the past five years, 214 Iowa companies have received venture fi-nancing, and nearly half of those companies received follow-on financing, according to data compiled by Bridgepoint. And about 1 out 12 of those Iowa companies has had a buyout or another “liquidity event” in that pe-riod that enabled investors to recoup their investment returns.

“So this ecosystem, this entrepreneurial group and business commu-nity, has figured out how to attract capital, do multiple rounds of capi-tal, and return shareholder capital to investors,” Claypool said. “I’m really impressed with the amount of follow-on financing that these companies have attracted. They’ve done enough to justify to investors that they should qualify for another round of capital.”

From Craig Ibsen’s perspective, venture capital in Iowa has never been “less scarce” than it is right now. Ibsen is managing principal of Next Level Ventures, a Des Moines-based venture capital fund launched five years ago that successfully raised about $40 million and has built an initial portfolio of a dozen Iowa-based high-growth startups, with minority in-vestments ranging from $1 million to $4 million.

Another Iowa-based venture fund, Midwest Growth Partners in West Des Moines, announced in January that it raised $113.5 million for a sec-ond fund, which has further added to venture capital availability.

As additional evidence for the old saying that venture capital invest-ing is a team sport, in 2015 venture capital groups from across the state came together to form the Iowa Venture Capital Association to facilitate collaboration on deals and promote venture investing in Iowa. The orga-nization now has 12 seed capital/angel capital firms, six venture capital firms and four private equity firms as members. The organization’s mem-bers meet formally twice a year — and actively invite regional funds to attend, said Ibsen, who is also an IVCA board member.

“Good deals are getting funded in Iowa,” Ibsen said. “We’re getting calls from Midwest venture capital players in Chicago and Omaha looking for opportunities, and jumping in when it’s appropriate.”

As an example of that regional collaboration, last fall the Greater Des Moines Partnership hosted a venture firms pitch event, “The Best of the Midwest,” that attracted angel capital investors from across the Midwest to pool their funds and collectively pick participating startups in which to invest.

An investment from that event, along with investments by Iowa-based EMC Insurance and Next Level Ventures, enabled MākuSafe LLC, an Iowa software startup, to close on a $3 million round of venture fund-ing this past year.

“There’s never been a better time to look for deals in Iowa,” Ibsen said. n

Recent venture capital highlightsHere’s a snapshot of Iowa’s venture capital activity in February:

Monetery:Monetery 2019, Dwolla’s second regional summit dedicated to creating value in the Midwest, announced it planned to dedicate the second day of the May summit to one-on-one meetings between selected startups and representatives from at least five national venture capital firms traveling to Des Moines for the conference. Startups accepted into the “One-on-Ones” initiative would have the chance to pitch their companies in person with venture capitalists from Costanoa Ventures, Chicago Ventures, Firebrand Ventures, Next Level Ventures and Manchester Story.

MākuSafe:Three years after founding, MākuSafe, a technology wearables company focused on workplace safety, closed on a $2.85 million seed round in December. That launched what the staff promises to be a busy year for the wearable safety device company: Five pilot testing programs had finished or were underway. Safety is the driving mission of MākuSafe, co-founded by CEO Gabriel Glynn and CTO Mark Frederick. With its offices at Maple Ventures, the company creates a two-piece wearable hardware armband that gathers environmental data, such as location and motion speed, and auto-records near-miss accident indicators. When a workplace accident happens in an industrial facility, the typical claim is reported by the National Safety Council to be about $46,000, according to a company executive.

Lifengine Animal Health:LEAH (Lifengine Animal Health) Laboratories received a $50,000 seed investment by the Ag Startup Engine at Iowa State University. LEAH Laboratories’ technology enables precision gene editing for treatment of B cell lymphoma in dogs, the most commonly managed cancer in veterinary oncology. LEAH Labs is the eighth startup Ag Startup Engine has invested in since forming in 2016.

Local government officials are miffed at Iowa lawmakers over passage of a bill that adds steps to the budget-setting process and in some instances requires a supermajority of elected officials to approve proposed property tax rates.

Senate File 634 was passed in late April by the Iowa Sen-ate and House. The original Senate version of the bill capped at 2% the increased amount of property tax revenue cities and counties could collect. Outrage over that plan prompted changes to the final version of the bill, which as of May 20 had not been signed by Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds.

Under the bill, if no changes are made in the amount of revenue raised from property taxes from one budget year to the next, no new steps must be taken.

However, if additional revenue is raised, a public hear-ing must be held, which is a new step in the budget process. Also, elected officials must vote on the maximum property tax rate that could be levied. If the rev-enue raised by property taxes in-creases 2% or less than what the jurisdiction currently collects, a simple majority of elected of-ficials must approve the rate. If revenue raised by the property tax increases more than 2%, two-thirds of elected officials must approve the rate.

Jurisdictions – which include city and county govern-ments – must also publish notices about the public hearing and property tax rate proposal on their websites and social media platforms.

After the local jurisdictions hold the public hearing on the property tax rate, a second public hearing must be held on the budget, something cities and counties now do.

“This shines a light on property taxes in a way that peo-ple can understand [and it] puts a step in the process that requires that disclosure,” said Gretchen Tegeler, president of the Taxpayers Association of Central Iowa. “There continues to be a lot of confusion surrounding the bill because origi-nally there was a cap.

“This bill does not do that. I can’t emphasize that enough. What this final version of the bill has are some provisions relating to greater transparency around cities’ and counties’ intentions on property taxes in their budgeting process,” she said.

During debate on the bill, Rep. Dustin Hite, R-Oskaloosa, said local officials often tout that they haven’t raised prop-erty taxes. Yet, he said, the amount of revenue raised from property taxes frequently goes up because of increases in

assessed valuations. Higher valuations often mean more revenue for taxing jurisdictions even though property rates stay the same, he said.

If city and counties are going to receive an increased amount of revenue from property taxes, “they ought to take a vote,” he said during the floor debate.

In four of the past five fiscal years, West Des Moines has seen its revenue generated from property taxes increase more than 2%, data from the city shows. Requiring the city to garner a two-thirds vote by the city council approving the rate increase is an unnecessary step, said Tim Stiles, the city’s finance director.

“We go through such a vetting process before it gets to the point [of setting a property tax rate] that most concerns

have already been addressed,” Stiles said. “I’m not sure why the two-thirds vote is needed.”

Alan Kemp, executive direc-tor of the Iowa League of Cities, said that while gaining approval from two-thirds of a governing body is “a higher bar, most city budgets are approved by unani-mous counts anyway.

“Largely, cities feel these are all unnecessary steps,” Kemp said.

Hite, during the floor debate, talked about the two-thirds majority requirement, saying the Iowa Code requires a supermajority in several other ar-eas. Increasing the amount of revenue generated from prop-erty taxes “is one of those important votes,” he said.

The purpose of the bill, say its supporters, is to increase transparency about the amount of revenue raised annually by property taxes. The bill’s detractors say they already are transparent.

“What’s ironic to me is that our budgets are all posted on the state of Iowa website, and they’re the ones saying that we’re not being transparent,” Stiles said.

Jen Schulte, Des Moines’ director of government rela-tions and communications, aired similar concerns. Des Moines “already has a tremendously transparent budget process that provides more than two opportunities for pub-lic input,” she wrote in an email.

Said Sara Kurovski, Pleasant Hill’s mayor: “We already operate in the way the bill is asking municipalities to follow. We provide multiple steps for the public’s input, and they can see the entire budget on our website.”

Concerns also exist over whether the bill could affect the Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System and the Mu-

nicipal Fire and Police Retirement System of Iowa. Currently, cities and counties fund the systems through a supplemental trust and agency levy. Under the bill, the levy will be funded through cities’ and counties’ gen-eral budgets.

Rep. Monica Kurth, D-Davenport, during the floor debate, raised con-cerns over whether local government officials, faced with tight budgets, would be forced to cut workers or services in order to fund the levy.

“This creates new competition for those general fund dollars,” she said. Kurth proposed an amendment that would have kept funding of the pensions a separate budget item instead of moving it into the general fund. The amendment failed to pass on a 49-51 vote.

State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald, a Democrat, also opposes the move. In a letter to the editor that appeared in several Iowa newspapers, Fitzgerald wrote that “funds used to pay employee pension benefits for firefighters, police, and other valuable public servants should not be pit-ted against funds to repair roads.”

A Facebook group called “Don’t Touch my IPERS” is urging its more than 10,000 followers to ask Reynolds to veto the bill.

Tegeler said that under Iowa law, local governments must fund the two pension systems.

“In a tough budget cycle, could cities have to make a decision about where in their budgets to cut to fund IPERS? Yes,” Tegeler said. “But this is already the case with or without the bill. This doesn’t impact IPERS.”

On its website, IPERS wrote that the bill “does not alter the employers’ obligation to pay the employer portion of IPERS’ contributions annually. ... This bill does not affect a member’s or retiree’s pension.” n

AT A GLANCEThe following are highlights of the budget transparency bill (Senate File 634) passed by the Iowa Legislature:

• As with the current process, local government officials determine the property tax levy rate.

• A public hearing must be held if the proposed rate will generate more revenue than

is received in the current fiscal year. At that hearing, a new step in the budget process, officials can explain why an increase in revenue is needed. In addition, taxpayers will have an opportunity to voice their opinion.

• If the proposed levy generates less than 2% percent of the revenue the local government currently collects in property taxes, the proposed rate must be approved by a majority of city council members or county supervisors.

• If the proposed levy generates more than 2% percent of the revenue the local government currently collects in property taxes, the proposed rate must be approved by a two-thirds majority of city council members or county supervisors.

• After the local government passes the new property tax levy rate, a public hearing on the proposed budget must be held. After the public hearing, a resolution must be passed to approve the proposed budget, steps local governments currently take.

• All information about the public hearings must be published on jurisdictions’ websites and on their social media accounts.

• Budgets must be certified by March 31, which is 16 days later than is currently required.

• If the bill is signed by Gov. Kim Reynolds, the changes would go into effect for the budget year that begins July 1, 2020.

POWER BREAKFAST TAKEAWAYS

PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS PUTTING MORE EYEBALLS ON THE REGION

JOE GARDYASZ: The Greater Des Moines Partnership’s digital marketing campaign not only has been highly successful in getting more eyeballs on the region, but also has been helpful for targeting more diverse groups of potential talent by reaching out to national conferences such as the recent National Black MBA Association conference, said Mary Bontrager, the Partnership's executive vice president of talent development. Overall, 99 percent of the people reached in the targeted marketing campaigns are “new eyeballs,” she said.

TALENT WAR II / BY BUSINESS RECORD STAFF

GETTING OVER TRADE ‘BIAS’

KATHY A. BOLTEN: Parents of today’s middle and high school students need to be educated about the demand for skilled tradespeople and learn that many of the jobs, such as electricians and welders, pay well and are a pathway to nearly immediate work after high school, Beth Townsend, Iowa Workforce Development director, told the group. “We need to get over this bias that we somehow created in the ‘80s and ‘90s, that the only sign of success for your kid is to graduate from a four-year college,” Townsend said. “That’s no longer the case because there are many great jobs that you can get with a two-year degree or less and make more than what you would get from a four-year degree.” According to IWD’s website, there were more than 3,600 job openings in the skilled trades in Iowa in April. The average annual salary of a first-year welder in Iowa is about $38,000, IWD data shows. An experienced electrician can make, on average, $62,000 annually.

CONNECT EARLIER WITH STUDENTS FOR WORK-BASED LEARNING

“DON’T FORGET TO TELL YOUR PEOPLE “THANK YOU” OR

“NICE JOB” OR “WAY TO GO” OR “CONGRATULATIONS.”

HIGH FIVES GO A LONG WAY. SIMPLE STUFF DOES MAKE A

DIFFERENCE. TRAIN. DEVELOP. GIVE THEM A VOICE. GIVE THEM

AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD A COMMITTEE OR PRESENT IN

FRONT OF THE OFFICE.”

JOE GARDYASZ: There are lots of opportunities for businesses to engage with high school students, Iowa Workforce Development Director Beth Townsend said. She used the forum to remind attendees that IWD in July will be launching a new work-based learning website where employers can post projects and connect with schools. More than 750 employers will initially be listed on the Iowa Clearinghouse for Work-Based Learning website. “The trend is for businesses to be a lot more involved in the education process, and I think that’s a good trend that needs to continue to happen,” she said. “We no longer can just have our kids in a silo in high school, have our kids in a silo of college, and then graduate and turn them out into the workplace and think that the businesses are going to be able to whip them into shape and teach them what they need to know. We need to be working together at much earlier stage to create those relationships.”

WORKIVA PLAYS TO ITS STRENGTHS IN RECRUITING

JOE GARDYASZ: Businesses should look for opportunities to use their connections outside of Iowa to recruit workers to the state, said Matt McDonald, director of talent acquisition for Workiva. “We leverage our offices in Denver and Scottsdale, because there are much larger labor pools there,” he said. And although it’s not an option for every company, a perk that Workiva offers to its top talent prospects that has been highly effective is to give them an equity stake in the company, he said. Also, flexible working arrangements have been an important benefit. About 20 percent of Workiva’s staff works from remote locations and travels to the Ames headquarters every couple of weeks.

TRAINING A KEY

PERRY BEEMAN: David Leto, president of Palmer Group, said the low unemployment rate has led many employers to hire people with potential for training. “We’re seeing clients now being more willing to hire not that perfect match but someone they can bring up in the future. Also contract labor. I’ve seen a statistic that a third of the workforce is somehow involved in contractor day labor. It’s a big number. That’s going to continue; I think of Lyft and Uber, who are moving that.”

CULTURE ALSO IMPORTANT

PERRY BEEMAN: Leto mentioned that for many workers, a good culture in the workplace is as important as good pay in benefits — and is critical to retain workers. “Don’t forget to tell your people “thank you” or “nice job” or “way to go” or “congratulations.” High fives go a long way. Simple stuff does make a difference. Train. Develop. Give them a voice. Give them an opportunity to lead a committee or present in front of the office.”

GREATER DES MOINES BEATS SILICON VALLEY

PERRY BEEMAN: Speakers noted that Midwestern cities tend to lose people, but Greater Des Moines is among fastest-growing, on a percentage basis. Much of that growth has come from younger workers. In fact, Mary Bontrager, executive vice president of talent development for the Greater Des Moines Partnership, said, “We are the fastest-growing city, and our fastest-growing age demographic is 25- to 34-year-olds, to the point where our median age is now less than Silicon Valley’s. So we are a bit of an outlier.”

FEELING THE HURT OF LOW UNEMPLOYMENT

PERRY BEEMAN: When Katherine Harrington of Business Publications Corp. asked attendees to rank, with their fingers, how big a problem talent attraction is, most raised two full hands. Later, Beth Townsend, head of Iowa Workforce Development, said, “As all of your jazz hands just demonstrated, we are desperate to find workers. The companies that are successful are those that are developing that talent internally. When the Business Record staged its first “Talent War” Power Breakfast in 2014, the unemployment rate was 4.4 percent. Today’s event came with an Iowa unemployment rate at 2.4 percent — an even tighter labor market.

QUESTIONS I WISH I HAD ASKED:

CHRIS CONETZKEY: I always end every event with a giant list of questions I didn’t get to ask. Here are a couple that I’ll ask rhetorically, with hopes of simply casting a thought into the community. Have an answer? Send it my way.

1. Coming out of the recession, much of the focus for the state was on incentives for businesses to relocate or expand their jobs in Iowa. With so much of a need for increasing the workforce, is there any talk of creating incentive programs to attract individuals? Perhaps tax credits for out-of-state college students who stay for a cer-tain number of years, or for working mothers who aren’t currently living here.

2. With a potential lack of entry-level workers coming into the workforce in the coming years, do you envision a situation where employers begin recruiting high school students to work at their businesses when they graduate? We know em-ployers are getting more engaged with the school system, and potential trade workers specifically are already being targeted, but I’m thinking a bit about tra-ditional roles for which you typically hire college graduates. Perhaps you hire the high school graduate and even help pay for their education as part of the arrange-ment. And if so, what potential pitfalls should businesses or students be aware of?

“WE ARE THE FASTEST-GROWING CITY, AND OUR FASTEST-GROWING

AGE DEMOGRAPHIC IS 25- TO 34-YEAR-OLDS, TO THE POINT

WHERE OUR MEDIAN AGE IS NOW LESS THAN SILICON VALLEY’S.”

CAN VIDEO GAMES SAVE THE SKILLED TRADES?

KENT DARR: Iowa Workforce Development Director Beth Townsend brought to mind the importance — "impact" might be a better word — in developing skills that come in handy in the skilled trades.

Her words struck a chord because we heard a similar reference from Brian Clark of Ryan Cos. US Inc. during a Business Record video roundtable. He said that during a bit of friendly competition among heavy equipment operators, the youngsters outmaneuvered some Gen Xers and beyond. Clark pointed out that skills acquired playing video games come in handy when at the controls of an excavator, for example.

Townsend said the state is working hard to attract high schoolers into the skilled trades, which are having trouble attracting workers.

“What’s great about what’s going on in Iowa is that so many career paths aren’t necessarily tied to a four-year program because we have so many kids who are interested in getting into the workplace faster and getting through their training a little bit faster,” she said.

At the recent Iowa Skilled Trades Association Build My Future jobs showcase at the State Fairgrounds, about 1,000 young people attend-ed. They could learn about welding or pipefitting, operate some machinery, take a virtual reality tour of a data center, and just generally learn about “all the different things that go on in a trades job that they may be interested in doing. Some of them even had video games.”

VIDEO: WHAT'S ONE EMPLOYMENT TREND TO WATCH IN 2019?

Everybody is feeling the effects of the ongoing war for talent. With unemployment in Greater Des Moines barely above 2%, competition for top talent is overheating across all skill levels of jobs, organizations are searching for new sources of employees, companies and cities are voluntarily increasing minimum wages, and salaries are on the rise. Panelists at the Business Record's Power Breakfast "Talent War II" each share one trend to watch in the employment market. WATCH: businessrecord.com/video

CREupdate

We’re a month away from marking the longest period of expansion after an economic calamity, in this case the Great Recession that stretched from De-cember 2007 to June 2009. We still look over our shoulders, square into the dark days, and wonder if they’ll happen again. Most economists say “no.” Still, we keep asking what happened then and could it happen again anytime soon.

The question came up earlier this year when the Business Record host-ed a panel of development specialists. The full video of the conversation along with a summary can be found in our Annual Real Estate Magazine. www.businessrecordarem.com

Here is a snippet of our conversation about the dark days of 2008 — when the recession really struck home in Greater Des Moines. The panelists were Curtis Brown, assistant city manager and director of economic development with the city of Urbandale; Dennis Reynolds, owner of Reynolds Urban De-sign and Urban Planning; Aimee Staudt, vice president and director of de-velopment with Knapp Properties; and Nick Halfhill, president of Landmark Development Services.

Q: Brown raised this question and we followed up: When you look at 2008 and what led up to that, what is different? Are the land prices back to that level?

Halfhill: Yeah, the prices aren’t what broke. What broke was, well, a lot of things. But what’s immediately different is, it is far less risky. We’re never going to get rid of the risk. Any business endeavor is a risk, right? But it’s a lot different. And by and large, where some companies, maybe they didn’t change their practices at all, but there were a lot more entities that either don’t exist or were forced to say, “Look, you cannot do it this way.” And land develop-ment, by and large, real estate is the easy one to point your finger at because it is inherently risky. So I think people nowadays want to get a little more from land development.

Are you going to go build 100 lots and hope you sell on it, or are you going to get those 100 deals worked out, or 75, whatever percentage. You’re going to be a little more concerned about that business model. That’s a benefit. And what’s changed is we all have had the opportunity to experience 2008. Before that, I was 7 in 1980, so the farm crisis didn’t hit me the same, it hit my family members. But I didn’t have an economic issue to go through like that. Now we’ve had it, so we have our reasons for reacting the way that we do.

Staudt: Simplistically, I think that, back before 2008, there were a lot of banks, developers, you name it, in the real estate industry that maybe felt like they were taking too much risk but in order to compete and do any business, you had to take that risk, because there was someone else who would’ve done it. And some people didn’t change their practices. I would say the people who maybe resisted that a little bit said, “That’s too much risk for me; I’m gonna try and make the deals work that don’t get me to that risk level” are the ones who survived. And the ones who said, “You know what? Everybody else is doing it. I’m jumping in. I’m gonna make these deals and so far it’s worked out.” Well, then it stopped working out and now, like Nick said, people have lived through that and they understand, and, hey, there were consequences to making those decisions. [They say,] “I’m go-ing to change how I do business because of that.”

Q: What would be an indicator that people are starting to do that again, where they are taking that much risk? Is there something that you’d be looking for?

Staudt: The fundamentals in real estate are not rocket science. You factor in your costs, you factor in your projected revenue and the return you need. You fig-ure out your risks from that. The problems were people saying, “Well, yeah, I’m gon-na make no-doc loans and I’m gonna just assume it all works out well.” If you stick with the fundamentals, you’re going to be fine. And people weren’t doing that then.

Q: If you have a sector that struggles — retail, for example — does it create a new opportunity, a different development opportunity, or does that upset the balance of those fudamentals?

Reynolds: That's how I see it. If you were to ask me where do I think the next opportunities lie, surely we've milked the multifamily market as far as we can. But the failing strip center is an area, and the big-box retailer is just ripe, to me, for rethinking in an innovative way. Des Moines, if it has a weakness, in my perspective, one of them is we're really limited with our entertainment and shopping choices. We've got the East Village, a little bit of something there at Valley Junction. A little bit of something in Beaverdale, and then the big mall experience. And lots of retail spaces that are pretty marginal and need to be re-invented. So how do we reinvent those retail spaces they're big, simple building forms. How do we reinvent them, and in a multitude of uses? n

THE ELBERT FILES

DAVE ELBERT• Business Record columnist• Email: [email protected]• Phone: (515) 988-3787© 2019 Business Record

Iowa’s reputation as an open-minded, nondiscriminatory state is under attack from Gov. Kim Reynolds and Republican lawmakers who would like to turn back the clock on gay marriage, reproductive rights and other gender-related issues.

If they succeed, they will overturn the state’s long history of fair play dating back to 1857, when our current constitution was written.

Iowa’s first constitution, written in 1844, was rejected by voters. A second, approved in 1846, the year Iowa became a state, contained flaws including an anti-banking provision.

Iowa’s third constitution was approved in 1857. It resolved the bank issue and lev-eled the playing field for all Iowans with fairness clauses that said: “All men are by nature free and equal,” and “the General Assembly shall not grant to any citizen, or class of citizens, privileges or immunities, which upon the same terms shall not equally belong to other citizens.”

Two of my former colleagues, Tom Witosky and Marc Hansen, wrote about the far-reaching impact of the 1857 constitution in their 2015 gay marriage book “Equal Before the Law.”

They explained how the Iowa Supreme Court in 2009 arrived at a unanimous deci-sion legalizing marriage between same-sex couples in Iowa.

They also told how the fairness provisions of the 1857 constitution were used to improve the lives of other Iowans.

Because of the 1857 constitution, they said, blacks were allowed to testify in court, vote and attend integrated schools long before people of color could do so in other states. In fact, the Iowa Supreme Court desegregated Iowa public schools in 1868, 86 years before the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Education made school desegregation the law of the land.

Iowa’s fairness clauses also allowed the state to recognize the nation’s first female lawyer in 1869, and in 1873 Iowa judges disallowed inferior accommodations for a wom-an of color traveling by riverboat.

Those early cases “were instrumental … in leading the court to its equal protection analysis overturning Iowa’s law restricting marriage to a man and a woman,” Witosky and Hansen wrote.

They made clear that Iowa’s long history of legal equality had prompted gay rights groups to pursue a legal case in Iowa. And they said it ultimately led the Iowa Supreme Court to approve same-sex marriages six years before the U.S. Supreme Court reached a similar conclusion on a narrow 5-4 vote.

A minority of Iowans did not approve of the Iowa court’s decision, and they orga-nized effectively in 2010 to vote out of office three of the seven Iowa justices who were up for retention votes that year.

A decade later, animus clearly remains among Gov. Reynolds and other socially conservative Republican lawmakers, who took actions this year aimed at rolling back the clock on same-sex marriage, reproductive and transgender rights.

On party-line votes, Republicans modified the process for selecting Iowa judges. Their legislation takes control away from the nonpartisan legal community and places it in the governor’s office by allowing her to select a majority of the committee that nominates judges.

Republicans also voted to remove all state funding from Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, a nonpartisan agency that provides reproductive and other health care services for women throughout Iowa.

And they voted for a second time to eliminate government funding, including Med-icaid, for services for transgender Iowans, despite the fact that Iowa courts had already ruled last year’s effort unconstitutional.

The bottom line of all of those actions is an effort to change a legal system that has protected vulnerable Iowans for 162 years.

And Gov. Reynolds, while occasionally voicing sympathy, has supported and at times championed the actions of her fellow Republicans. n

Punishing the vulnerable

The bottom line is an effort to change a legal system that protects vulnerable Iowans.

My kingdom for a cup of coffee!

This week’s QR code will show you the infamous cup in its most unlikely setting.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last couple of weeks, you’ve probably heard about the infamous coffee cup that was accidentally left in a scene of the fourth episode of this season’s “Game of Thrones.” If you missed it or aren’t a “Game of Thrones” fan, the cup sat in front of Daenerys, one of the central characters of the series, in a pivotal scene of the episode. The moment it appeared on screen, social media exploded with reactions to the obscure mistake that suddenly had the world’s full attention. Here are some facts about the incident: It was not a Starbucks cup, despite everyone’s assumption and all of the social media buzz. It was actually a generic cup from the production company’s craft services unit. HBO has now digitally removed the cup from the episode. The original broadcast was seen by over 17 million people, and the scene with the cup has been aired on most major news outlets in the world. If Starbucks had paid for the product placement, it would have cost them $250,000-plus. In a testament to powerful branding, everyone assumed it was a Starbucks cup (all to-go cups are from Starbucks, you know), and tweets mentioning the brand were up 10 times the average (over 310,000) on Sunday night and Monday morning. According to the media monitoring platform Critical Mention, the cup’s presence and the erroneous assumption that it was a Starbuck’s cup were worth a PR value of over $2 billion for Starbucks. Starbucks wisely jumped on the opportunity, tweeted “TBH we’re surprised she didn’t order a Dragon Drink” and made hay of the blunder, promoting one of their signature drinks whose name and theme are aligned with the “Game of Thrones” era. Odds are you don’t have $250,000 in your marketing budget for product place-ment, but that does not mean there aren’t some savvy takeaways for all of us from this incident. Consistent branding matters: When you land on a brand (look, feel, voice, etc.) for your organization, leave it alone. All of this Hubba aloo (a technical marketing term) is because everyone saw the generic cup and made the association because Starbucks to-go cups have become ubiquitous in our world. The spoils go to the alert: Opportunities fly by us, and if we aren’t paying atten-tion, the window slams shut. Starbucks quickly jumped on the situation, tweeting and reacting on other social media channels by suggesting that Daenery should have gone with the Dragon Drink. When you make a mistake, don’t waste energy hiding it: In an era where Google knows and remembers everything, a mistake like the one HBO made is not going away. HBO wisely owned up to the error and even made a joke, saying that it was a mistake because Daenerys had actually ordered herbal tea. That sense of humor and humanity of just owning the gaffe earned HBO even more media buzz and fan love. Product placement works: Sure, it costs $250,000 to be on “Game of Thrones,” but there are many product placement opportunities in a much more affordable range. Local clothing stores often outfit their city’s news anchors and not only get to show off their clothing but also get a logo mention at the end of every episode. Don’t assume this marketing tactic is out of reach for your business. Most of the time, marketing works when it is well-planned and well-executed. But more and more, marketing is about being on your toes and seizing opportunities as they whiz by you. It can happen at any moment. Just ask Starbucks! n

Such placement and collection of solid waste shall in all other respects be conducted as provided in section 98-54 of this division. A fee of $9.00 per dumpster per month shall be charged by the city and collected from the owner or owners of such multiple-family dwell-ing, which fee shall be in addition to the per unit solid waste collection and disposal fee charged as provided in (a) above.(i) The owner or occupant of a residential premises may request a one-time container exchange for a change in container size free of

charge. Such free of charge exchange will be allowed for both a solid waste container and a yard waste container. For each additional exchange, there will be a $25.00 service fee. (j) Upon request of the owner, the director of public works is authorized and empowered to except from city solid waste collection a residential premises that is adjacent to a mul-tifamily residential premises if such dwellings are commonly owned, are not separated by a street or public alley, and were being served by private solid waste collection as of January 1, 2005.

Reports & Particulars | Mayor, Council, City Administrator, Staff, Boards, and/or CommissionsMayor proclaimed the week of May 12-18 National Police Week and the week of May 19-25th as National Emergency Medical Services Week and National Public Works Week in Polk City, Iowa.• Fire Chief Mitchell reminded everyone the annual Papa Pizza delivery and smoke detector check is Tuesday May 14, 2019. • Police Chief Kendig reported on the successful 2nd Annual PCPOA Gala. Over $15,000 was raised for the association and he thanked his wife for making the event such a success and acknowledge that she does all the hard work. Kendig said the money raised will be utilized to support the K9 program and fund scholarships for North Polk graduates entering the criminal justice field. • Public Works Director, Schulte mentioned that preliminary work was being done at the 3rd and Bridge intersection to prepare for the next step in the signalization project. • Snyder Engineering Representative, Conner said that Justin Jackson received notification that the poles are estimated to be here around June 7th and without further delays with the flooding from the Plat River, the signals should be active sometime after July 4th. Conner reported that Crossroads Plat 2 will start paving this week, weather permitting, and will more than likely begin on the east side of the develop-ment ending at the intersection at Bridge.• Council Member Vogel thanked the Police Department Staff for doing a great job getting the community to rally behind them and the K9 program and making the Gala a great event. Vogel also thanked the Fire Department Staff for putting on the fun community event deliv-ering pizza’s and checking smoke detectors for residents.• Council Member Sarchet thanked Public Works Director Schulte for providing details including financials from the annual clean up event. Sarchet talked about the State Legislation regarding property taxes and noted that a 3/2 vote on the budget would be required for anything over 2% in the budget, but the deadline to file budgets were extended to the end of March. Sarchet also mentioned that it seemed the erroneous parts of the bill were removed, and it resulted in merely a change in rhetoric. • Interim City Administrator, Sandor reported on a meeting with Kimberly development and the bonding attorneys to discuss the develop-ment agreement and resolved a lot of issues. Kimberly will be providing a breakdown of numbers by phases and that a development agreement with Kimberly should be brought forward for action within 3-4 weeks.• Mayor Morse thanked Chief Mitchell for host-ing Tim Cory’s retirement recognition from the Fire Department. Mayor appreciated the oppor-tunity to be there as both current Mayor and former Chief. He said it was neat to have five FD Chiefs in the same room. Mayor attended the DC annual partnership trip and reported the common theme he heard was that Don Sandor is a Rockstar and very well respected in the metro. Several people commented that Sandor was a good hire, and good for the city, lots of nice complaints and it was a very productive couple of days. Mayor also welcomed Amy Beattie back.9.
