Construction cost spikes affect business growth By Cameron Moix

ormally, the cost of building materials inches higher to catch up with inflation — or jumps small amounts in response to rises in oil prices — but that isn’t the case right now. Throughout the country, commercial and residential builders are seeing spikes in the cost of doing business as a result of a shortage of skilled laborers and increased demand that has put significant pressure on the cost of products such as lumber, drywall and other building materials. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, lumber prices had risen 7.2 percent by the end of the first quarter of 2017 and were up 12.9 percent compared to the same time last year. The BLS report also indicated inflationary increases in other materials such as concrete and gypsum, which is most commonly used to produce drywall. “Some of those commodities have gone up so that the companies can see an increase in the profit margins they’d like to see restored,” said Marc Towne, director of purchasing, estimating and design for Classic Homes.

“We’ve seen concrete defi nitely do that. Other than that, the market hasn’t fluctuated as much as in the past.” Kevin Remsen, regional manager for Builders FirstSource (formerly ProBuild), would disagree. Remsen said the company has seen a spike in lumber costs. “Lumber is a commodity, so it moves with the market based on supply and demand,” he said. “We saw a huge spike — around 12-20 percent — on all lumber coming from Canada. That has softened a little bit, but it hasn’t really gone away.” Remsen blames heightened demand for materials throughout Colorado for that spike, as well as a looming trade deal between the U.S. and Canada that many expect to result in additional tariffs on lumber. “Growth, demand, regulations, tariffs — that mix really increases the cost to build a house,” he said. “As a distributor, we always try to manage our costs down, but when market factors increase our product costs, our only option is to pass the increases on. We lock our pricing for 60 days, the builders have

to lock in their pricing to their customers, so when there is a large spike in price like this it is very challenging to make a profit on any work in the pipeline.” The company has seen a 14 percent increase in the cost of softwood goods since the beginning of 2015, Remsen said. For many builders and their clients, those increases make all the difference. Colorado Springs-based nonprofit Junior Achievement of Southern Colorado recently put on hold plans to construct its $3.8-million JA Center for Free

few years ago, Kiyontus Allen was moving in the wrong direction — and didn’t know how to stop. Sure, he’d graduated from Fountain-Fort Carson High School on time back in 2013, but he’d floundered ever since, and lacked motivation and purpose. “After high school, I was kind of a lazy guy,” Allen said. “I tried to go to trade school but didn’t like it. I used to listen to my friends and was getting in bad situations.” Before long, it went from bad to worse. “I lost two of my friends last year,” said Allen, 22. “They made crazy mistakes — there was some violence — and lost their lives.” That made an impression on him. “I woke up one day and decided I didn’t want to live like that anymore,” he said. “I figured it was time for a change.” His mechanism for change became the Pikes Peak Workforce Center. And it made a difference. Allen went through PPWFC’s three-day soft skills training and joined the five-day immersion program where he worked at The Academy Hotel, which then offered him an internship through PPWFC. He was paid for 360 hours of work, but actually earned a bigger prize at the end of his internship: The Academy Hotel offered him full-time employment.

“I feel pretty accomplished,” Allen said. “This will be the best job I’ve ever had.” It almost didn’t happen. “When I started the internship, I was lazy and didn’t like getting up,” he said. “The Workforce Center set me up with a case manager and he helped me a lot. He helped me focus on what was important to me. “I’m very appreciative. If not for the Workforce Center, who knows what I’d be doing. I’m really grateful; they’ve done a lot for me.” Not only has Allen paid off all his bills, he’s developed a “drive to be more responsible,” he said. “I’ve learned some values. It’s changed me a lot.” Amanda Clifton, the hotel’s human resource manager, has watched Allen progress from the immersion program to an internship to full-time employment. “Kiyontus has excelled,” Clifton said. “The people in this [PPWFC] program really want to work. They know it’s a chance to better their lives. The ones that don’t want to work will leave.” Allen is proud of his recent choices, and is determined to make the most of his new circumstances. “I’m very thankful for this opportunity,” he said. “I could’ve ended up somewhere I really don’t want to be.” See Workforce page 14

CSBJ OPINION

Colorado Springs: Focused on wellness The issue: Unhealthy workers lead to unhealthy margins at work. What we think: Business leaders should come together to create wellness programs that set the Springs apart from the rest of the nation. Tell us what you think: Send us an email at editorial@csbj.com.

argaret Sabin issued an interesting challenge during the Colorado Springs Business Journal’s COS CEO Lessons in Leadership conversation, a discussion with local leaders. Her challenge: Why shouldn’t Colorado Springs be the leader in health, wellness and preventive medicine? Why can’t business leaders, community heads, nonprofit groups and medical services organizations come together to create a community focused on wellness and prevention — instead of “sick care”? Penrose-St. Francis Health Services, headed by Sabin, already is working with Colorado Springs School District 11 to provide interactive health care advice through bots. In a program that’s received national attention, the bots interact with employees, asking health-related questions and also checking in on mental well-being. And the YMCA has made a start too. Boyd Williams, CEO of YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region, has a partnership with a local school district to provide after-school programs for seventh-graders, because research shows that healthy life choices made at that age affect the rest of people’s lives. “They have coaches,” Sabin told the audience. “And isn’t that what we all need: someone to say, ‘I believe you can do this.’ It opens up a little kernel of potential — and that’s so important.”

It’s important because health and wellness affect workplace readiness and productivity and company growth. The biggest problem is what Sabin terms “diaobesity,” or the rapid growth of Type II diabetes — a problem that comes with obesity — in children. It’s preventable. And it’s a shame more isn’t being done to prevent it. “About 3 percent of adding people to health insurance goes toward prevention,” Sabin said. “The rest of it is taking care of people after they are already sick. And we should flip that. We should be saying, ‘Not one more child gets Type II diabetes. Not one more.’” As the portion of health care costs related to overall gross domestic product grows — we’re now at around 18 percent — it’s time to consider what we’re doing wrong. And that’s not addressing prevention and wellness at an early age. We agree with Sabin. Colorado Springs is healthier than other cities, but we’re becoming less healthy at the same rate as the rest of the nation. Wouldn’t it be great to be one of those “blue zones” around the world where health care costs are low, people live longer and are healthier? It does take commitment, from CEOs to front-line workers, from owners down through the ranks. But it doesn’t mean we all have to run a marathon or take part in a triathlon. Sabin says to start simply: Take a walk. Take 15 minutes twice a day and go for a walk. Host a nutrition session and bring healthy food. Start with moving — and health grows from there. That doesn’t mean there aren’t other obstacles to surmount: food deserts and health care deserts combine in Colorado Springs to make it difficult to make the right choices. But if we can use the assets here — Penrose-St. Francis, UCHealth Memorial, the new wellness center at the Garden of the Gods Club — and focus more on preventing illness — then the Springs will have lived up to its Olympic City branding.

OPINION: HAZLEHURST

Is Banning Lewis the Springs’ Field of Dreams?

t’s already July, and reporters obliged to cover City Hall don’t have much to do. Mayor John Suthers and City Council President Richard Skorman have yet to get into a public fight; City Councilor Bill Murray hasn’t found any new targets for his wrath; real estate prices continue to soar and life is good for many of us in the Pikes Peak region. HAZLEHURST Our booming economy means that city council has to deal with prosperity’s busywork. The last 20-page agenda included apartment development plans, minor annexations, appeals of administrative decisions, renewal of the Comcast franchise and food truck parking. And while Comcast is still a big deal for some, the franchise concept seems archaic and irrelevant. In 10 years, will anybody care? Although things are placid enough on the surface, we’ll soon see fireworks. It seems likely that Skorman and Suthers are engaged in separate endeavors that may determine the long-term future of Colorado Springs. This isn’t a fight, but rather the complementary attempts of both men to crown their careers in public service with lasting civic achievements. As Colorado Springs stumbled through two recessions and an increasingly dysfunctional city government in the first 15 years of the 21st century, Suthers watched in dismay. Working at the state Capitol as a U.S. attorney and Colorado attorney general, he saw Denver, Fort Collins and Boulder surge ahead while the Springs floundered. He probably had some Trumpian thoughts, as in, “I could fix the mess!” But he kept his mouth shut.

John

Since taking office in 2015, Suthers has quickly dealt with problems that bedeviled his predecessors. Road funding? Check. Stormwater problems with Pueblo, the Environmental Protection Agency and the state? We’re working on it. Sustainable stormwater funding? In progress. It’s fine to fix inherited messes, but leaders are remembered for their creations. And just as General William Jackson Palmer is remembered for creating a city, Suthers’ legacy can be far more than pothole-free streets. Let’s look at the Banning Lewis Ranch. Negotiations between Nor’wood and the administration concerning the extensive revision of the BLR annexation agreement have been underway for some time. First approved in 1989, the onerous terms of the agreement have been blamed for sterilizing the property. Urban sprawl continued, as developers bypassed the ranch and built elsewhere. With BLR now owned by the region’s most astute (and enviably liquid) developers, the time for development may be close at hand. While it’s clear that Nor’wood will make a substantial open-space donation to the city, the rest is up for grabs. Will all the players come together and create the fi rst new American city of the 21st century, a field of dreams that will reinvent greenfield development? Or will they settle for Briargate South, another iteration of residential separated-use zoning funded by metro taxing districts? Such suburbs are lovely places to live and be bored, but require cities

to fund and hire workers for the remote fi re/police stations, all while generating little general fund tax revenue to support such infrastructure. When the BLR deal arrives at the council dais, it seems likely a progressive five-member majority (Skorman, Murray, Yolanda Avila, Jill Gaebler and Tom Strand) will decide its fate. Strand may be the swing vote here, especially significant in this case since the mayor’s veto power does not extend to land use decisions. A 5-4 vote is enough — no supermajority required. It’s up to Suthers, Jenkins and city council. BLR: field of dreams or field of schemes? Skorman’s legacy is all around us. He was one of the primary drivers of the 1997 Trails and Open Space Coalition initiative, giving the city a dedicated revenue stream to purchase significant parcels of open space. Section 16, Red Rocks, Blodgett Peak, Stratton, Bluestem Prairie — it’s a very long list. Both as a city councilor and as a private citizen, Skorman has been an untiring advocate for parks and open space, transparent government and a just, inclusive community. So besides getting the best possible outcome for BLR, what’s on Skorman’s to-do list? He’s not one to bludgeon his peers with his own agenda — collaboration, gentle persuasion and amiable honesty are his only weapons. He has four years to go on city council, so he’s just getting started. The Martin Drake Power Plant, park funding/protection, downtown/Westside/southeastern redevelopment — halcyon days indeed! CSBJ

Our booming economy means that city council has to deal with prosperity’s busywork.

ONE-ON-ONE

Hernandez takes small business to the skies G By Bryan Grossman

us Hernandez began Dynamic Aerospace Technologies in January 2015. For the past two years, the retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel and Air Force Academy graduate has been establishing a foundation for his “imagery engineering” business, which utilizes unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, to capture imagery for everything from commercials to agricultural mapping. Hernandez spoke with the Business Journal this week about his career in aerospace and his entry into a new and rapidly evolving industry.

Where are you from? I’m originally from El Paso, Texas, but I went to the Air Force Academy and ended up retiring at U.S. Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base. I was in aerospace through my whole career. I retired from the Air Force after 20 years and five days. I’d pretty much done everything in the space biz you could throw a stick at, from launch and ground systems to satellite systems to new entrepreneurial capabilities. My career track was acquisition as an aerospace engineer and also a flight test engineer. The core of the work was a lot of space systems. I even spent four years at Johnson Space Center [in Houston] and was doing payload integration for the [Space] Shuttle. What does Dynamic Aerospace Technologies do? We call ourselves imagery engineers. We’re focused on bringing in technologies for drones in the under-55-pound category. We also run a flight program that entails compliance, certification and licensed pilots. So we do things like resort and infrastructure imaging to inspections on things like wind or solar farms, power plants and electrical grids. We also bring in more sophisticated sensors — thermal sensors and multispectral sensors for things like crop or field management or agriculture and wilderness management. We also have long-duration flight capabilities for surveying and mapping. We are essentially service data providers. Why this ﬁeld? I wanted to build a company that is transformational and focuses on bringing aerospace to the public and gets people excited about that, especially our youth. I’d like to get them back into being engineers or analysts or scientists. How has your company grown? The first year, we wanted to get all the certifications we needed. We are a certified service-disabled, veteran-owned small business. That designation means we’re able to contract with the [Department of Veterans Affairs] and the [Federal Aviation Agency] — two critical agencies. We’re also looking at additional certifications — Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, Small Business Enterprise — and being able to contract with the state. … The first year our focus in the company wasn’t so much to bring in immediate revenue as it was to build a strong infrastructure that could rival larger companies. We’re a staff of seven people and four interns. Some clients think we’re about 60 people. The infrastructure is set up to operate like a large corporation. What about your second year? That was about learning, acquiring and waiting for the FAA to give us the approvals we wanted. The second year, we did some consulting work, small [unmanned aerial vehicle] jobs. That was where we started bringing in the right people and pilots. So this year is really our year. I treat this as Year Zero because now we’ve gone through all the gates and have survived for two years. The first year we were nominated as a new tech startup by Peak Startup. This year we were the 2017 Pikes Peak [Small Business Development Center] Veteran Small Business Owner of the Year. We’ve been doing the right things.

GUS HERNANDEZ I wanted to build a company that is transformational.”

What growth do you see for this year? I’d like to double our staff. All but two of us are part-time and I’d like to bring everybody on full-time. What about the drones? We have six registered drones and we’re working on two or three more that we’ll register soon. We anticipate, by the end of the year, we’ll have 12. The evolution of these things is about every six months. The technology is moving so fast, in terms of the sensors — these are all 4[K] or 5K cameras — 12 to 20 megapixels. They’re constantly getting better. Some folks don’t have televisions good enough to view the video, so we have to bring it down to 1080p. These are essentially the new cell phone. Some are the size of a cell phone. It will be rare in five years where you pass somebody who doesn’t have a drone in their car. CSBJ n

OPINION: ROUTON

Fresh ideas can solve state’s road issues

arly this year, when Republican and Democratic leaders of the Colorado General Assembly agreed on the framework of a multi-billion-dollar sales tax proposal to improve the state’s road infrastructure, the fi rst inclination was to give it a chance. If the state’s voters would be willing to increase the sales tax by a R O U T O N half-cent, then that would provide the needed level of major funding to deal with Colorado’s most glaring problem. But that plan met with opposition among legislators, and also in Colorado Springs. After all, our city already had approved its own sales-tax hike to tackle our road and bridge problems. As Mayor John Suthers was quick to point out, another half-cent jump would put too much burden on Colorado Springs, maxing out our combined sales tax for years to come. The idea of asking the state’s voters for a tax increase never fell into place, though just before adjourning, legislators approved a far more modest transportation funding bill. We still don’t know whether, or when, that money might be able to help widen Interstate 25 from Monument to Castle Rock. So as we see more tourist-related traffic than ever this summer, literally overwhelming many of the state’s major highways, the question hasn’t gone away: How can the state fi nd an acceptable way to come up with the billions needed to make a real dent in the infrastructure needs? One idea is to forget about raising the sales tax —

Ralph

and instead add to the state tax on gasoline, currently at the same 22 cents a gallon where it has been since 1993 — 24 years ago. Given that gas prices are low and oil supplies high, not to mention that the visitors coming by car also would help pay for it, the concept of increasing the fuel tax is alluring. For the sake of comparison, check these gas tax rates for other Western states: Nebraska, 27.7 cents; Utah, 29.41 cents; Nevada, 33.85 cents; Idaho, 32 cents; Oregon, 31.1 cents; California, 40.62 cents; and Washington state, a whopping 44.5 cents. For the short term, it’s worth considering. But not for that long. Just last week, Volvo took the fi rst bold move in what likely will become a global trend, announcing plans to end production of gasoline-only cars by 2019. Yes, just two years from now. More auto manufacturers are sure to follow, making more and more hybrid and all-electric cars. At that rate, sometime in the next decade, only older cars and trucks still in use would depend solely on gasoline. Where does that leave us? The long-term solution might have to lean more on technology. Perhaps cars could be programmed to show how much they’re being used, with car owners billed on distance or time, possibly even from other states. Colorado also might resort to toll roads, given the success of E-470 and express lanes in the Denver area. That’s become acceptable around the state’s largest metropolis, yet it’s not a popular solution in Colorado, and by all indications also not in Colorado Springs.

But with each year that passes without aggressive action, the closer Colorado comes to facing a problem so dire that it requires extreme tactics. Look at it this way: Nobody has fl inched when the open market has given us fluctuating gas prices, jumping 10 to 20 cents a gallon without warning, not just recently but for many years. So if Colorado tacks on an extra nickel or more per gallon, nobody will know the difference. And it won’t stop a single family from taking that car vacation to Pikes Peak and beyond. We just can’t look at that as being a permanent answer, but it certainly could make a difference for five years or so, especially as long as the economy stays strong and gas prices remain reasonable based on abundant supply. If the lawmakers (and perhaps Gov. John Hickenlooper, or his successor starting in 2019) want a multi-faceted approach, perhaps Colorado can figure out some kind of highway use tax that applies to state residents as well as visitors, with more toll roads only as a last resort. That part could be as simple as having a contest for high-tech companies and startups, offering a large reward for the best cyber program/solution to tracking highway usage, billing and collecting revenue anywhere in the state. That would produce innovative ideas — and we have to start somewhere. In Colorado, why not lean on the technological brilliance in our midst? That should be a no-brainer. CSBJ

The long-term solution might have to lean more on technology.

Dunn, Perrault share wealth management roles By Ashleigh Hollowell

harlie Dunn and Mark Perrault entered the wealth management industry with Northwestern Mutual in Colorado Springs from different paths and backgrounds. They hail from seperate states and came to the Pikes Peak region for different reasons. But eight years ago the two started their careers at Northwestern Mutual and sparked a friendship that would eventually turn into a successful partnership in wealth management: Dunn, Perrault & Associates. “Setting the culture of teamwork and the camaraderie it takes to have a balanced team has been difficult because we were both Lone Rangers basically coming together — and our support staff had been taking care of one boss and now has two co-owners,” Perrault said. “That part was initially the most challenging.” Though the early stages of merging their teams were difficult and at times like “the merging of the Brady Bunch family,” Dunn said, their collaboration has been successful. Their first 12 months was a record-breaking period — Dunn and Perrault served around 400 clients across 30 states. “The first year in business together we had our best year ever. If you were to combine that and measure it by the amount of new dollars that we brought into the practice in terms of assets that we manage for our client base, it was, by far, the best,” Dunn said. “It was maybe two times what we’d ever done before independently.” Dunn and Perrault credit similar philosophies when it comes to finance and wealth management as to why they work well as a team. What are your backgrounds? Dunn: I studied business administration and graphic communication. I went to Illinois State University. My first career, I owned a custom furniture and woodworking business here locally which is how I was introduced to Northwestern Mutual. My accountant introduced me to an adviser here in the office. Perrault: I went to the University of Colorado Boulder to study business operations and Gonzaga [University] for grad school, and I was in the Air Force for four years. What drew you to wealth management careers? Dunn: I was recruited here to work on my adviser’s team. We had just built a good relationship and he thought I would be good at this. Perrault: I have always liked financial planning. Even in high school I enjoyed keeping up with the stock market. I kind of liked the idea of doing it after the military.

Charlie Dunn (left) and Mark Perrault started a wealth management partnership known as Dunn, Perrault and Associates.

What are the characteristics that make you work well together? Perrault: I’m really good at getting people to the table, and Charlie is really good at explaining the details. Dunn: The best way to describe it is at a macro level — our philosophies around financial planning and investments and insurance are the same. What is one beneﬁt of your merged partnership? Dunn: One of the best things about our partnership, which is very unique in the financial planning world or financial services, is that there are two advisers. Our client base knows there is always a senior-level adviser in the office they can talk to. What are some of the philosophies you share? Dunn: We believe everything we do begins with a plan. It’s a plan-driven approach to financial services

not a product-driven approach. We are free to invest our client’s money solely for their best interests. We want our clients’ financial planning experience to be comfortable and as fun as it can be. There’s a lot of heart in what we do. Perrault: We were in Forbes for our psychology behind retirement income. There’s a lot of people in this community that have the luxury of having pensions because they’re military, but most people don’t have pensions so we focus on: How do we replicate as best we can the sense of security one has from a pension? What are your goals? Perrault: World domination. I’d like to raise more money again for local charities this year. Dunn: If we could be more than $100 million in assets under management and if we could add two new team members, that would be the goal. CSBJ n

Pikes Peak Plastics makes sustainable fun By Ashleigh Hollowell

alf the toys sold in the United States are made in overseas factories, but one local company is working to change that. In the past six months, Pikes Peak Plastics has made several moves to strengthen capabilities and its competitive advantage. It has moved to a facility that has 40 percent more space than its previous location, added equipment and jobs, and landed a licensing agreement with Begin Again Toys to manufacture biodegradable John Deere toy trucks. The agreement is Pikes Peak Plastics’ first biodegradable project. “The unique thing ... is that the entire product is biodegradable and contains cornstarch,” said Hal Alameddine, president and owner of Pikes Peak Plastics. “The exciting part is the message [that we’re] environmentally friendly. And the ... product is being made in the U.S. Probably half of companies produce toys in the U.S. nowadays. The rest go overseas. For us to be able to do it competitively is very exciting. This is a prelude to other projects and opportunities.” Pikes Peak Plastics has operated since 1994. Alameddine purchased the company in 2013 with a goal of growing its capabilities. Since his purchase, employment at the company has gone up about 35 percent, now averaging 30 employees. “What we’re doing is implementing technologies

Analysis: FAC/CC union creates artistic buzz By John Hazlehurst

hen the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center opened the innovative John Gaw Meem building in 1936, it was the culmination of one extraordinary woman’s vision. Alice Bemis Taylor, aided by friends Julie Penrose and Elizabeth Sage Hare, conceived and largely funded the FAC. It was an extraordinary gift to a sleepy little tourist town of 35,000 residents, eclipsing anything in Denver, Santa Fe, Albuquerque or Phoenix. Yet, absent public funding or a substantial endowment, the FAC’s finances have always been somewhat precarious. By early 2016, it had become clear to board members that the FAC wasn’t sustainable as a stand-alone organization. In August 2016, Colorado College and the FAC announced that the FAC would be acquired by the college in a merger that would bring financial stability to the FAC and broad artistic, educational and intellectual resources to both institutions. Colorado College and the Fine Arts Center recently released “Excellence, Access, and Collaboration: A Strategic Plan for the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College.” At 23 pages, it’s relatively brief and mostly aspirational. Given that the merger will not formally conclude until 2020, that’s not surprising. A joint press release noted that the merger agreement “… calls for a four-year transition period to allow for careful planning and integration of the three programming areas of the Fine Arts Center — the museum, the Bemis School of Art and the performing arts program. The focus on the museum starts in July 2017, Bemis in July 2018, and the performing arts in July 2019.” Despite the slow-paced process, the facts on the

AN EXPANDING PROGRAM Andy Gilliland of the Colorado Sheet Metal Training Institute has brought on nine young adults from the PPWFC immersion program. He offered one of them, Mozelle Stewart, a full-time job. “She’s very good in the shop,” he said. “She’s been with us about two months and has really taken to it.” Eight businesses are involved with the Industry Champions Immersion program: Altitude Hospitality, Colorado Sheet Metal, Discover Goodwill, the Colorado Springs Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee, GE Johnson Construction, Hotel Eleganté, The Academy Hotel, and the partnership of May Trucking and the U.S. Truck Driving School. “We’re looking to add in-demand industries in our area,” Gemignani said. “The No. 1 demanded occupation in our area is registered nurses, and there are other certifications under that like LPN and CNA. The third most demanded occupation in our area is transportation drivers, CDL drivers, and fifth or sixth is skilled trades.” “It’s a win-win,” Gilliland said. “The Workforce Center is sending out applicants and we’re getting a no-cost chance to work with them in an extended interview. I had reservations at first, but Bob’s team and the Youth Group are great to work with. I’ve already talked with several companies and told them it’s absolutely a good idea to do this.

Cyber: Rapid Response From page 8

“Once you do that, I own your system — or the attacker owns it,” he said. “You don’t have to be that vulnerable; there are ways to shut those USB ports off. But if you’re an accountant ... you may not know IT that well. So it behooves you to sub that out to someone else.” Too many small- and medium-sized businesses wrongly assume they’re safe because they are too small to be targets for cybercrime, Gullatte said. Every business is a potential target, and those that can’t afford a full-time cybersecurity manager should spend a fraction of that salary to outsource the work. “Even the [former] cybersecurity czar … said there’s no such thing as 100 percent secure, but that does not mean that you don’t try,” Gullatte said. “You don’t have to be low-hanging fruit.” And no business is immune to human error. Rios cited a recent case in which a nonprofit sought help from the RRC after “about 500 W-2s went out into the wild.” There’s no way to get them back, but the RRC was able to determine how it happened, which W-2s were lost, and offer training to avoid future breaches. He said the RRC is opening another door between businesses and the cybersecurity expertise and training they need, at a critical time. “Some of the companies are only 10 people strong or even smaller, and there’s no way they could really afford managed services or their own IT professional, but if something’s not working well at that organization ... we’re here to help them — that’s why we’re a nonprofit,” Rios said. “[The RRC] gives small and medium business, nonprofits and private citizens the opportunity to ask questions and allows us in the NCC to share threat information to answer those questions.”

Shawn Murray, cybersecurity engineer and chief academic officer with Springs-based Murray Security Services & Consulting, said company MURRAY leaders are sometimes reluctant to take cybersecurity measures even when they know what’s needed. He described cases where business leaders wouldn’t use the patches needed to prevent devastating ransomware attacks like Petya, Wannacry and Heartbleed because they didn’t want to disrupt productivity. “Unfortunately that’s the mentality of a lot of companies all around the world,” Murray said. “And if you’re not going to have a mature patch program or update vulnerabilities on your systems, you’re going to be vulnerable to these types of attacks. “It all comes down to risk management. All of it is risk — the risk for not implementing patches, risk for not implementing them fast enough, or implementing them too quickly before you test them, and therefore you have a business disruption.” Murray said the big issue is that cybersecurity managers need to translate risk and technical issues into business language for the leaders of organizations. Rios agreed the “tendency to be too technical” is part of the reason for the lag in businesses addressing cybersecurity threats. “We need to fix that,” Rios said. “We need to make that so it’s recognizable without having a technical background. “We do that at the NCC, and we do it really well. It takes technical experts that have the communication skills to present [it] without all the 1s and 0s and technical software gobbledygook and cross that threshold into ‘Do this, don’t do that, here’s why.’” CSBJ

District 49 is experiencing rapid growth, as illustrated in the chart above. Remodeling inside Falcon Middle School is progressing, while construction of a new elementary school is set to begin next door. Two new District 49 elementary schools are expected to open in the next two years, all as a result of a 2016 mill levy override.

Fast-growing District 49 improves schools through 3B By Bob Stephens

ichael Lucero is a restaurant owner who has lived in the fast-growing Falcon area for nine years. His two sons are students in School District 49, but Lucero couldn’t decide if he should support ballot measure 3B, a mill levy override designed to improve those schools — prior to the November 2016 election. It was easy to oppose 3B because his taxes would go down if it failed. On the other hand, if it passed, his taxes wouldn’t go up, and District 49, the fastest-growing school district in the Pikes Peak region which spans 133 square miles, would benefit to the tune of $7.64 million per year to build new schools and remodel older ones. “I wasn’t too sure about it at fi rst, but it’s all going back to the schools and education, and that’s our future,” Lucero said. He even hosted an informational meeting — one of dozens conducted by the school district for the public — at his La Mission restaurant on McLaughlin Road, just off of Woodmen

Road near the U.S. Highway 24 interOVERWHELMING SUPPORT section in Falcon. District officials worked tirelessly to “I grew up in a small town, in Rocky promote 3B and it passed by nearly a Ford, and the school district down there 2-to-1 margin. It benefited from a nowis lacking funds; they’re closing down paid-off bond levy passed in the 1990s, schools, cutting budgets,” Lucero said. and 3B was designed to cost taxpay“Since we moved up here, it’s night and ers the same amount day.

“We asked voters to give us a consistent paycheck to allow us to improve our schools.”

• build two new elementary schools. The high school improvements should be finished by 2018. “Every year Melissa’s group would have a list of projects that needed done, and we couldn’t fund all of them that were on the critical list,” said Board of Education President Marie LaVereWright. “Now we’re able to be proactive rather than reactive. We’re very grateful to our voters who showed this level of confidence in us and allowed us to make these improvements for students in District 49.” She said voters were also investing in their neighborhoods. “The quality of schools can impact home value and the property around it,” said LaVere-Wright, who taught high school chemistry and physics for 11 years, three of those at Falcon. “Our district is growing by leaps and bounds, and we’re truly the only area for Colorado Springs to continue to grow and build. We need to be able to provide appropriate learning spaces; some of that will be new and some is keeping up to standards and with new technology.” For instance, Sand Creek High School is being updated to accommodate new

EDUCATION technology. Vista Ridge High School is getting a new auditorium and auxiliary gym. Falcon High School is adding flexible learning space. As a sea of new homes swept into District 49, the student population rose dramatically. In 1982, only 1,541 students were in District 49; in 2016 there were 20,834. The numbers increased about 10 percent each year for the first decade of this century, but the rate of growth has slowed to about 2.5 percent, Ridgway said. He said a mill levy override that passed in 2005 helped build a new Falcon High School and Vista Ridge High. But the district’s student population has doubled since 2005, creating a real need for 3B’s passage.

INNOVATIVE FINANCING Ridgway was the architect of 3B, which will not expire and thus creates a revenue stream for District 49 in perpetuity. “This is a brilliant plan — with longterm planning built in — and many other school districts have taken note of it because it’s very innovative,” said District 49 Director of Communications Matt Meister. “Brett has gotten a lot of kudos for how this was constructed.” The 10.159 mills that all property owners — both private and business — pay will continue to generate $7.64 million annually.

“This is a revenue stream, not a debt,” LaVere-Wright said. “A bond is a debt. We asked voters to give us a consistent paycheck to allow us to improve our schools.” The first $1 million of that comes off the top to increase teachers’ salaries — a little over $1,100 each for the nearly 900 teachers in the district. “This forces us to live within that remaining budget,” Ridgway said. “When you do bonds, you decide what you want and how much it’ll cost; then you know how much you have to pay for it. We’re going the exact opposite way: here’s how much we can afford, and here’s how we can use this money and finance it. “What we did was go get a $17.5 million loan — in theory. We did this instead with Certificates of Participation we issued, and to pay that $17.5 million back over 25 years, it’ll take $1.2 million every year.” Of the remaining $5.44 million, $2.28 million annually will be used to renovate and refresh schools, and give $1.58 million each for construction of the two new elementary schools. “What I think is the neatest part of the plan is a 10-year instrument that generates $20 million every decade using $2.28 million of that $7.64 million to take care of facilities,” Meister said. “There’s a staggered approach in how he constructed it to provide resources for teachers every year, to take care of the buildings we have each decade with

a big pool of money going for that, and then every 25 years or so there will be new opportunities to finance new school construction.” The district has 26 schools, with ground about to be broken on a new elementary school next to Falcon Middle School. The other new elementary school will open in 2019 in the Banning Lewis Ranch area. “One of the things we’re proud of is that we’re giving back to the community by hiring local contractors [GE Johnson and Nunn Construction] and sub-contractors to the extent that we can,” Edwards said. As for renovating and refreshing

schools, Edwards said input from the schools resulted in a list of about 1,000 projects. “Some of those are of the ‘need’ variety and some are of the ‘want’ variety,” Ridgway said. Edwards and her staff pared the list to about 200 projects, which will take approximately three years to finish. “On one hand, we’re like the child on the day before Christmas,” Ridgway said. “We’re so excited that we want this all as soon as possible, but we have to be patient and there has to be wisdom in how we carry this out. “It’s managing expectations, but there is great progress being made.” CSBJ n

How can businesses beneﬁt from using local recruiters?

arely does a day go by without hundreds of Pikes Peak region employees receiving emails from recruiters who are out of state or out of the country. One director of corporate communications received an offer from a California firm inviting her to apply for Colorado Springs receptionist jobs listed under “Director of First Impressions.” S U T Z Humorous, perhaps, but this example shows how far off-target recruiters can be when they don’t live or work in the local market. If you’re a human resources manager or small business owner looking to hire talented people, you run the risk of receiving mismatched placements by using out-of-market recruiters who haven’t met you and are not familiar with your company and hiring needs.

Graym

BUILT-IN MARKET KNOWLEDGE Local recruiters understand the Southern Colorado market and business climate, and can speak intelligently to market needs. Through events, networking and doing their research, they know where people work and where they want to work. According to Yelp, six out of the top 10 employment agencies in Colorado Springs are local organizations. There is no substitute for face-to-face interactions. Local recruiters are able to build a genuine rapport with people by meeting with them, building trust and continually growing their network based on homegrown relationships and referrals. Earlier this week, one of our recruiters walked from

our downtown office to an IT-support company down the street with a potential employee for his interview. She was able to chat with the hiring manager and hear live feedback, giving her more valuable information than an out-of-area recruiter would have been privy to. Because of her in-person interaction, she is able to provide a better service to the business owner and hiring manager. Out-of-state recruiters often make a placement for your company and then virtually disappear, while local recruiters can continue to support you, their client, on a personal basis throughout the employment lifecycle. A good local recruiter can be a true partner and ally, and can help you manage your hiring needs to best position your company for success. Regular in-person meetings help a recruiter better understand a customer’s environment/culture, enabling them to provide you with stronger leads, and with employees who not only meet the technical requirements of an open position but also match your internal and corporate culture. If any issues arise during the hiring and employment cycle, local recruiters can immediately resolve them faceto-face. And when you’re ready to hire a recruiter, you can solicit references about the firm from people in the business community whom you already know and trust. Local firms have a network of people whom they have already thoroughly vetted and know what positions they are open to taking, so you receive a better quality candidate, sooner rather than later.

Recruiters who have lived and worked in town have likely watched a candidate’s career evolve at different companies. With that kind of tenure, they know how people have performed in the past and who has been fired for lack of performance or unethical behavior, for example. As a client, this type of insider information will greatly reduce your risk when hiring new employees. Because of the relational nature of Colorado Springs, you’ll get to work with a recruiter who knows you. In this industry, recruiters don’t have the same anonymity as someone working in a big city. In our community, we work hard to preserve our reputation by bringing you candidates who have a solid background and reputation. The sense of community here dictates higher quality in our assessment and selection of candidates before we present them to you.

Local recruiters understand the Southern Colorado market and business climate.

INVEST LOCALLY Finally, why not promote your own community and work with local businesses that support and give back to the local economy? Statistics have shown that regions thrive as they buy and invest locally, so help yourself, your business and your community — hire a local recruiter the next time you need to staff up.

Sutz has a bachelor of science in business and service management from UCCS.
