DCS Services signs lease in Jaco building downtown Three Knipp Services employees have left that business to start a company of their own. DCS Services, which launched earlier this month, centers on design-build projects for the restaurant, education and health care industries. Brett Miller, a long-time business development manager at Knipp Services, is the company’s president. He brought with him two other Knipp employees. Taylor Durr, who was a project manager at Knipp, is in charge of operations, while Craig Singer, who also worked in business development at Knipp, has a similar role with the new company. Miller says this was an opportunity to start his own business after 30 years in construction industry. “We all left on good terms,” he says. In fact, Knipp and DCS may work together on some projects, Miller says.

DCS is leasing about 800 square feet of space in the building for now but could take on more as the business grows. Miller says the number of people he adds depends on his volume of business. Div23 Inc., which sells mechanical contractors heating and air conditioning products, is another tenant in the building, occupying 2,000 square feet. The businesses are separate entities from Jaco, but the leaders of the companies have known each other for years and occasionally worked together on projects. Josh Kippenberger, Jaco’s CEO, says he is in talks with another potential tenant but hasn’t yet secured a lease. He says about 2,500 square feet remains in the South Emporia building. Jaco is using about 5,000 square feet of space for its needs.

DOING DUE DILIGENCE
R R BIG
NUMBER
Chase Koch says leadership means sometimes saying “no” to opportunity One of the underlying tenets of the business philosophy at Wichita-based Koch Industries Inc. is that failures are really only failures if you don’t learn from them. It’s an idea that extends to leadership at the company, including Chase Koch, executive vice president of Koch Agronomic Services. Koch, son of Koch Industries’ chairman and CEO Charles Koch, spoke on leadership last week to Leadership Kansas and subsequently discussed some of his ideas on the concept with the Wichita Business Journal — including offering up some previous leadership missteps that have helped him hone his own leadership style over the years. “Three areas that have bit me in the past are not having the courage to speak

up and challenge, being too internally focused versus externally focused (on the customer), and not saying “no” to opportunities,” Koch said. And, though he didn’t detail the specific deal, he offered a personal example of the third point. Saying “no” to an opportunity, after all, can be tough for any leader. But Koch said, in his particular case, jumping too quickly on an opportunity has, in at least one case, led to more headache than success. “(I was) leading an acquisition where I didn’t drive the scientific method during due diligence,” he said. “If I had thought of all the reasons we shouldn’t do the acquisition, the team wouldn’t still be living with cleaning up a deal I did over five years ago.”

LUNCH AND LEARN
BJ Career Women: W Harnessing conflict and the journey of mastery BY DANIEL MCCOY dhmccoy@bizjournals.com
J O I N U S AT
TRAMCO’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!
TRAMCO’S HEAD OFFICE 1020 EAST 19TH STREET WICHITA, KANSAS SEPTEMBER 27 AT 5:30 P.M.
A group of around 50 participants in the Wichita Business Journal’s Career Women program gathered Tuesday to hear from two motivational speakers and discuss how what they heard can be put into practice at their own organizations. In the program’s second Lunch and Learn event, held at The Hudson in the Commerce Street Arts District, the group watched two speakers from the popular TED Talks series designed to spark ideas and inspiration — and conversation at their tables. Participants said the format sparked those conversations, leaving them with high points from each video to think about and lessons they can incorporate. The first video, from speaker Margaret Heffernan, was entitled “Dare to Disagree” and delved into the importance of speaking up even when a point of view goes against the commonly held belief. It was Heffernan’s assertion that the conflict that can arise is beneficial because it forces people to actively defend varied positions — an exercise that tends to lead to the best solution to any problem. Heffernan described conflict as a way of thinking, and also encouraged seeking out people with different backgrounds and ideas to ensure leaders break out of echo chambers. That struck a chord with participant Regina Miller, the owner, founder and director of Princeton Children’s Center, who said she always values interacting with people different than her because it helps promote change.
“Don’t be afraid of what’s different,” she told the group following her table’s discussion of the video. “You already know the people who are like you.” The second video, featuring speaker Sarah Lewis and entitled “Embrace the Near Win,” discussed the idea that success is only momentary. What keeps people striving, Lewis said, is actually the pursuit of mastery. That means, when someone does come close to a masterpiece — whether it’s in the art world or in the business world — it is the near miss and the pursuit of perfection that will propel them forward more effectively than any momentary achievement. For example, Lewis said, despite already having written numerous popular songs, jazz legend Duke Ellington, when asked what his favorite song of his was, would always reply: “The next one.” Participant Heidi Perez, chief operating officer at Mahaney Roofing, said it was valuable insight, noting that in a corporate world always driving toward completion of some task, a broader view of being on a continual journey toward mastery can be even more motivating. Angela Clark, of Envision Inc., said both topics led to good discussion at her table. One idea her group agreed on came from the first video on the concept that disagreement can be beneficial. If that practice is driven top-down through an organization, she said her group agreed, everyone can feel empowered to raise issues that can ultimately drive positive change. “Conflict is not always a bad thing,” she said.

EMERGING LEADERS WBJ DISCUSSION
Emerging Leaders optimistic about the direction Wichita is headed BY JOSH HECK jheck@bizjournals.com
Demonstrating an eagerness to be involved and make a difference, another group of participants in the Wichita Business Journal’s Emerging Leaders convened Thursday to offer their take on the state of the city. Participants discussed what excites them about the direction of the city, what’s needed, concerns about downtown safety and the public education system. The fate of Century II also was discussed, providing more fodder for a long-standing debate over building a new convention and performing arts center or modernizing the existing facilities. Wichita City Manager Bob Layton endorsed the latter this week with his recommendation to keep the iconic blue dome in place. Some of the 12 people participating in Thursday’s discussion, however, seemed to favor constructing something new. Ruse Brown, a portfolio manager and wealth manager advisor at UBS Financial Services, said Wichita can learn from other cities, such as Kansas City and Oklahoma City, that have invested in performing arts and convention venues. “It’s more about the arts,” he said. Wichita is missing out on opportunities in some cases to land conventions and events because of inadequate facilities, he said. Rachel Murphy, who owns Thomas Grey Interiors, said Century II has outlived its usefulness in its existing state — an opinion shared by many in the community — and needs to be updated. Her preference would be for something new to be constructed in place of Century II. “Architecture is a constant evolution,” she said. Several participants said a new or revamped performing arts center would continue the momentum generated by ongoing efforts to invigorate downtown Wichita. Dustin Kuhn, a financial advisor with Merrill Lynch, said city leaders are being forward-thinking with concerted efforts to grow the city. He cited discussions about Century II and a proposed new baseball stadium to replace the antiquated Lawrence-Dumont Stadium as examples. “Leaders are thinking about things the right way,” he said. Kuhn also said he is impressed with the efforts to diversify the local economy and promote entrepreneurship through entities such as the e2e Accelerator Inc. He and others also touted increased community pride as something Wichita
has working in its favor. “We need to be proud of where we live,” said Girish Venugopal, quality and manufacturing engineering manager at Airxcel Inc. Venugopal is from India. He came to Wichita to attend Wichita State Uni-
versity and go through its engineering program. He said he now considers Wichita home. Amanda Walker, an attorney with Bever Dye LC, said an infusion of locally owned small businesses is helping drive
the notion that people can start their own business in Wichita and be successful at it. Buy-in from larger and older companies helps drive momentum, said Cherrie Brubaker, business solutions manager at Westar Energy.

LIST ANALYSIS
Home builders ride improving market to year-over-year growth BY DANIEL MCCOY dhmccoy@bizjournals.com
It may not be 2007, and home builders say the market may never be booming like that again, but the previous year was nonetheless a successful one from many home builders in the Wichita area. According to the latest list of the area’s largest home builders, the value of homes built in the Wichita area increased 23 percent from 2015 to 2016 among firms appearing on both lists. And for several companies on the list, that also meant a sizable increase in the number of homes they built. Craig Sharp Homes Inc. reported a 37 percent increase in the number of homes built, up to 57 in 2016, and a 44 percent increase in total value of that construction during the same time frame. Company president Craig Sharp says two primary drivers contributed to the jump. One, he says, was the company’s headquarters move at the end of 2015 from Augusta to the Collective development at 21st and K-96 in Wichita. Sharp says the move brought the company in closer proximity to its customer base and gave it a more visible location R R LIST

Parkway at the Waterfront has been one of the hot local developments spots for Craig Sharp Homes Inc. in the market, both of which have helped drive new business. He also says it found a hot spot in the market with homes in the Parkway at the Waterfront development. “That’s been doing really well for us,” Sharp says.
But most developments Sharp is building in have been holding strong, he says, a departure from the “feast or famine” dynamic of past years where one good development would have to offset slower ones elsewhere around town. It’s a trend that Sharp sees continuing,
and an assertion backed up by the latest numbers from the Wichita Area Builders Association that showed August with the third consecutive month-over-month increase in the number of new residential construction permits issued. It’s not what the market was before the recession, of course, but it’s another sign of steady growth that builders like Sharp are happy to see. “The market is getting a little stronger every year,” he says. Another local builder on a growth trajectory was Relph Construction Inc. in Towanda, which reported a 26 percent increase in the number of homes completed locally in 2016 and a 33 percent increase in construction value. Relph’s president, Russell Relph, who agrees the overall market appears to be on a steady upward trajectory, says part of his company’s growth has come from being more spread out in segments of the market. For example, he says, the business now retains and rents homes it builds in greater numbers than in the past. That’s helped it diversify and meet a customer base he says is no longer in the buy-only mode. “Our volume is up, they just aren’t all for sale,” he says.

W
ichita is missing out on millions of dollars of convention business annually because of inadequate facilities. John D’Angelo, manager of Wichita’s Division of Arts & Cultural Services, says 20 to 30 bids for smaller regional conventions are submitted annually. D’Angelo considers Wichita fortunate if it secures two or three of those. Why the low batting average? “Our facility isn’t as desirable as it used to be,” he says. D’Angelo hears concerns about available convention space, floor layout and a general perception that Wichita’s performing arts and convention venues “look tired.” He says at least 150,000 square feet of convention space is needed, plus about that much for storage and “back-
of-house” purposes. Wichita also would benefit, D’Angelo says, by having a convention center with 30,000 square feet of meeting space and another 30,000 square feet of ballroom space. The ability to divide spaces for smaller uses also would be a plus, he says. But the future of Century II and its adjoining convention center hang in the balance as Wichita city leaders wrestle with how to address deferred maintenance and various structural issues, such as cracked floors, aging mechanical and electrical equipment and a general lack of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. City leaders say Century II’s deteriorating condition has put Wichita in a competitive disadvantage in a regional push to bring business from conventions and stage performances to town. A 2013 study commissioned by Visit Wichita found Wichita would forfeit $30 million a year in economic activity if it doesn’t improve its convention facilities.
More recent estimates suggest that number is now closer to $40 million a year. Stakeholders agree the needs exist, but differ on the best approach to meet those needs and ensure Wichita’s performing arts and convention facilities meet or exceed national standards. “We are at a defining moment in time where we have a lot of momentum going,” says Janet Miller, Wichita’s vice mayor and council member whose District VI includes parts of downtown Wichita. “We have an opportunity to do something really special that we can be proud of.” She says a new performing arts venue and expanded convention center offering would aid recruitment and retention efforts by giving city marketers additional selling points and sending a message that arts and culture are part of the fabric of the community.

COVER STORY
Century II design schemes Century II and the adjoining Bob Brown Expo Hall have their limitations. It’s a notion that few refute. Addressing those limitations is a high priority for city leaders who are intent on maintaining momentum generated over the past 10 years, with more than $1 billion in public and private investments in Wichita’s center. City leaders commissioned San Francisco-based Arup Advisory Inc. to evaluate funding and delivery options for the expansion and redevelopment of Century II. Arup factored into its evaluation earlier
market and user group studies and architectural schemes that included options for modernizing existing buildings and the creation of new facilities. Those efforts yielded four design concepts with estimated construction costs from $272 million to more than $491 million for a complete rebuild. Arup selected two of the four options to conduct its funding and delivery options analysis. Last week, Wichita City Manager Robert Layton recommended Scheme 1, suggesting the city would be best served by modernizing the existing facilities and keeping the
SCHEME 2
SCHEME 1
T
his design proposal, which comes with a projected $271.8 million price tag, largely is based on remodeling and modernizing the existing Century II building and the Bob Brown Expo Hall. With this plan, no new performing arts facilities or convention center would be developed, and the bulk of the funds would be earmarked for deferred maintenance needs, such as new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems or repairing Century II’s roof. The plan also calls for 2,500 new seats to be installed in the performance hall. A security system with dozens of cameras and access controls would be installed as well. Structural repairs would be made. The blue dome would be preserved, and the building would be brought into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Operating and safety standards would be maintained. Layton also recommended incorporating an additional 150,000 square feet of convention space along with this proposal, though that piece isn’t included with the consultant’s Scheme 1 proposal. However, this proposal would not add space or create an ideal structure for a convention center, according to Arup’s report. This plan also would not add parking, a need with the existing facilities. Additionally, Century II and the convention center still would lag national capacity standards. Arup’s benefits summary suggests this proposal would result in more than $214 million in direct spending over 10 years and another nearly $146 million in indirect spending over that period. This proposal would generate more than $19.4 million in tax revenue. That total reflects a combination of city, county and state taxes.
iconic blue-domed roof as part of Wichita’s skyline because it is the most cost-effective alternative. Layton’s preferred approach also would add 150,000 square feet of convention space in downtown Wichita. City leaders, however, still have decisions to make regarding which proposal to choose. The following details perceived benefits and potential drawbacks of each scheme and a benefit summary for the four schemes, based on the Arup report.
T
his proposal is a variation of Scheme 1 in that it keeps existing structures in place — mainly Century II’s blue-dome roof. The $349.5 million proposal calls for converting Century II into a large exhibit hall, with the existing convention center being converted to meeting and ballroom space. That would account for $206.1 million of the total cost, according to Arup. This plan also calls for a separate performing arts center near the southeast corner of William and Broadway, the site of an existing parking lot, with a $117.4 million price tag. Another $19.5 million would be allocated for expanded and improved parking options, including 764 spaces near the northwest corner of Main and Waterman. A new parking garage would provide 500 spaces of that total. That corner of Main and Waterman already is a main source of parking now. An estimated $6.5 million would be allocated under this plan for site development. This proposal, like the first, keeps the existing Century II building as part of the downtown skyline. Additional convention center space and parking would be added. A new performing arts building would meet national standards and support additional high-profile shows and acts. Arup does cite some drawbacks with this plan, however. One challenge would be the need for operational support for separate convention center and performing arts facilities. The new performing arts site would have limited parking. Arup says a lack of continuous convention center space could limit the marketability of the venue. Concerns about a convention center that is not up to national standards is another potential drawback Arup cites. This proposal brings with it more than $327.7 million in direct spending over 10 years and more than $233.3 million in indirect spending. Arup estimates this proposal also would bring with it more than $30.3 million in total tax revenue over that period.
“We’ll start to recapture the lost market share, especially with local and regional conventions. That’s going to help our economy.” BOB LAYTON, Wichita city manager, who last week publicly endorsed Scheme 1 with the addition of 150,000 square feet of convention space.

SCHEME 3
T
his proposal deviates from the first two in that it calls for the removal of existing structures and new facilities meeting industry standards constructed in their place. Arup used this and the first scheme as its preferred options for addressing the city’s performing arts and convention center needs. Scheme 3 brings with it a projected $491.7 million price tag. The plan calls for a new performing arts center to be constructed near the southeast corner of Douglas and Waco, which would account for $124.3 million of the overall plan total. An estimated $254.7 million would be earmarked to create a new convention center, essentially where the Bob Brown Expo Hall is now. The site would include space for meeting rooms, ballrooms and exhibit halls. Additional meeting space also would be created on the back side of the Hyatt Regency Wichita. A covered walkway would connect that space with the convention center. An estimated $72.3 million would need to be spent on site development, with another $40.4 million allocated for 450 to 500 spaces of elevated parking between the performing arts and convention centers and another 450 to 480 spaces as part of an “urban park” near the northwest corner of Main and Waterman. Arup says potential benefits include the complete redesign of performing arts and convention space to ensure the facilities compete with venues across the country. Operations would be kept in a single location, and the Hyatt is better integrated into convention and meeting offerings. Parking would be added. Potential drawbacks Arup cites are the removal of an iconic structure from Wichita’s skyline and the need for construction to be completed in phases, potentially restricting performance and convention opportunities until the project is completed. This plan is estimated to generate more than $547.9 million in direct spending and another more than $372.8 million in indirect spending over 10 years. Total tax revenue is projected to be more than $52.2 million during that time.
“We are at a defining movement in time where we have a lot of momentum going. We have an opportunity to do something really special that we can be proud of.” JANET MILLER, Wichita’s vice mayor and District VI council member.
SCHEME 4
T
his plan, like Scheme 3, would eliminate the existing Century II building from Wichita’s skyline. In its place would be a convention center and elevated parking, including 450 to 500 spaces. The overall plan is valued at $484.6 million. Similar to Scheme 3, this proposal also would include additional meeting space attached to the Hyatt. The convention center piece would bring an estimated $238.4 million cost. The plan calls for a separate performing arts center to be constructed near the southeast corner of Broadway and William, an existing parking lot. An urban park near the northwest corner of Main and Waterman would be created, bringing with it 450 to 480 parking spaces. The parking piece has an estimated cost of $40.4 million. Another $88.4 million would be allocated for overall site development. Arup says the potential benefits of this plan are similar to that of Scheme 3 in that facilities would be designed to compete with the performing arts and convention center offerings nationwide. An urban park would be created, and better integration with the Hyatt would be incorporated. Eliminating the iconic blue roof from the downtown skyline is listed as a drawback for this proposal. Arup cites the need to operate two separate facilities as another potential drawback for this plan. The new performing arts venue also would have limited parking options. Construction would have to be completed in phases. Scheme four is proposed to bring with it more than $547.9 million in direct spending and more than $372.8 million in indirect spending over a 10-year period. The total tax revenue associated with this plan is expected to be more than $52.2 million.

City Manager Bob Layton recommended last week to keep Century II — and its iconic blue dome — but modernize and expand it. Other potential options call for Century II to be torn down and new facilities constructed in its place. Some believe the downtown building, opened in 1969, long has outlived its usefulness. But others say the building should be saved because it is part of the city’s history. Count businessman Bill Warren among those. He spearheaded a “Save Century II” campaign, which includes buying radio advertising, because he believes Century II can be better and more viable that it was by modernizing the existing structure. Warren sides with Layton’s recommendation. “I think the city is heading in the right direction,” Warren says. Layton cites the reuse of the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, which included a new museum, retail and food hall and incorporated historic preservation

tax credits, philanthropic contributions and private funding. “They way they did it really resonated with me,” Layton says. Jeff Blubaugh, whose Wichita City Council district includes the southwestern edge of downtown, says a decision of this magnitude shouldn’t be made without a public vote. He will let the community engagement process guide the discussion, but his preference is to modernize existing facilities without taxpayer subsidies. “I’m wanting to exhaust every resource we have today,” he says. Wichita will need to find a new tax revenue commitment over 30 years regardless of which delivery method is ultimately selected, according to a consultant study by Arup Advisory Inc. Modernizing the existing Century II building could bring with it a need for $27 million a year based on a design-bid-build construction approach, the Arup study concludes. A new build using a public-private partnership model would require $42 million a year, according

CENTURY II AND BOB BROWN EXPO ATTENDANCE NUMBERS
Century II and the adjoining Bob Brown Expo Center play an important role in the economic vitality of Wichita. Events, conventions and performances draw hundreds of thousands of people. However, operational challenges, such as deferred maintenance and a limited and outdated convention center layout, are limiting the ability of existing facilities to meet the needs of today’s users. Attendance totals and events are generally declining. City leaders and community stakeholders seem to agree something needs to be done sooner rather than later. But how to get to that end is still being debated. Here’s a look at attendance totals for Century II and the adjoining Bob Brown Expo Center over the past five years.

to the Arup report. One possibility would be a sunsetting sales tax increase, through no decisions have been made on utilizing that as an option, Layton says. Expanding existing tax increment financing districts could be another alternative, as is private financing. The Arup study suggests Wichita could generate $22.5 million in alternative funding for the renovation proposal, including $12 million by selling more than nine acres of property around Century II, $10 million by selling the naming rights to the venue and $500,000 in signage revenue. For the new build proposal, that total could be $30.5 million in alternative funding. The difference would be from an estimated $20 million coming from the sale of close to 20 acres around the existing Century II footprint. A community engagement process beginning in the fourth quarter and continuing into the first quarter of 2018 is expected to crystallize a plan for Century II’s future. “We’re starting to really move forward to get to a decision point,” D’Angelo says.

The right call BRIAN CHAMBERLIN SETS THE STAGE FOR GROWTH AT ANDOVER STATE BANK anything different from what we’ve been doing for the last seven years. The CEO role had not been a (held) position at the bank for several years. It was really never designated during my time here. Kirk really had that role, but when I stepped in here, I was essentially taking on the role, just not the title. So nothing is really going to change. And it’s important to note that Kirk, he is eventually going to come back. He is just taking a leave of absence. But his plan is to come back. Having Jeff in as vice chairman is an opportunity for him to get in and be in that role when Kirk is no longer chairman of the bank. And Jeff has served on the board for many years, so he is very well versed in who we are and what we are.
Brian Chamberlin is the new CEO of Andover State Bank. BRITTANY SCHOWALTER / WBJ
B
rian Chamberlin says Andover State Bank is executing a longstanding plan that will help it continue to grow. It was announced earlier this month that Chamberlin, formerly president of the bank, would become its CEO while Jeff Grace, formerly of IMA, would join the bank as vice chairman. But far from any sort of leadership upheaval, Chamberlin, also a longtime athletics official, says the transition has been in the bank’s playbook for years. How long has this leadership transition plan been in the works? Back in 2009 when the dialogue first opened up with the leadership team here, which is primarily the McConachie family, they had already laid the groundwork here internally to establish a succession plan. Kirk (McConachie, ASB chairman) was in his late 60s at that time and their two children, Allison (McConachie Grace) who is our CFO, and their son Parker, who is our branch manager at the Waterfront, they felt longterm that they needed someone to transition into the president’s role at
BRIAN CHAMBERLIN TITLE: CEO, Andover State Bank AGE: 57. FAMILY: Wife, Dana, and grown children Ben, Drew, Logan and Kirsten. EDUCATION: Dodge City Community College, associate of arts degree; Brigham Young University, bachelor’s of science in finance. EXPERIENCE: Norwest Financial, 1984-1985; The Boeing Co., 19851990; Learjet Inc., 1990-1992; Fourth Financial Corp. (and successors), 19922001; Security Savings Bank, 2001-2005; RelianzBank, 2005-2010; Andover State Bank, 2010-present.
least temporarily until Kirk was really ready to step down. So I knew coming in in 2010 what the succession plan was. At that time there were really two people designated as successors to the management team, myself and Jeff (Grace, husband of Allison), their son-in-law, who would step into the chairman’s seat when Kirk was ready to step down. So that’s been the plan since Day 1 and now we’re executing that plan. What’s been the strategic advantage of having that plan in place for so long? I think it was important, not only from a shareholder’s standpoint, but it was critical that we have a succession plan because the regulators require that. It was key to me, too, because I wanted to know exactly what role I was going to be playing. It’s been a great fit. The McConachie family are great people. Our goal now is to continue to grow this bank. We’re well capitalized and the groundwork is laid for us to grow at a 5- to 7-percent rate. Will anything else change as a result of this transition? We’re not doing
How is the bank performing now and how is the overall market? This year, we had a pretty aggressive growth budget. We think we’re going to hit our number and maybe exceed it a little bit. It’s come a little later (in the year) than we had hoped, but our pipeline now is as big as its ever been with credit opportunities. The team is working their tails off. We think our third and fourth quarters are going to be really, really good. It’s primarily CRE-driven, commercial real estate. Those are the more abundant opportunities that are out there, so you grab them. We work off our knowledge, expertise and longevity. We celebrated our 100-year anniversary last year, so we’re a staple in the community. We’ve got a great trade name. And I feel as good about this team as I’ve ever felt. From the executive management team, all the way down to retail and back-office operations, I think we have a group of people here that are second to none. And I really think that that’s what drives us. You were an athletics official for 30 years, but hung up your referee gear in 2008. What’s it like to watch a game with you now? It drives my family crazy. You get it in your blood when you’ve done it for 30 years. And not just a love of sports, but you take a little different angle when you’re viewing a game. You watch officials. I tend to grade them personally. — Daniel McCoy
