In the interest of full disclosure, our mediation had nothing to do with NOAA but rather for a Board we sit on together. This mediation was, strangely enough, between a large group of people who are friends and remained friends throughout and after the process. As I think about the experience there is a lot to learn about business in going through one of these. Ours was expertly handled by an attorney from Ulmer Berne who’s made a bit of a name for himself in this arena, although it is a small part of what he does for a living. The day started with the two groups in separate Ulmer Berne llp conference rooms replete with sodas, coffee and ice water. Ulmer Berne was a good host and the site proved more than workable. The mediator started the day with what I thought were a couple of corny plaques with inspiring sayings that he pulled from his office wall. They were supposed to set the mood and prepare us for the day. But like all business negations, the real inspiration is showing up prepared for the task at hand, which in this case meant knowing what you want – what they want and understanding where the middle ground might be. As the day progressed, we formed a joint session and put some basic facts and principles on the table. We briefly argued to support our role as they did theirs. The next logical step is to explore an understanding and this is where having a mediator comes in handy. When you are nearly two million dollars apart, at the start it seems like an impossible task to explore and understand the other side of an issue, even if you are all friends. Our mediator was very good at giving us and them the signal that we were both open and ready to start sharing our thoughts and explore reaching across the wide seven figure gap. We had our principles and they had theirs. About five hours passed when we really started to question our stand. We feel that they reached a similar place in about the same time span. The next stage was exchanging packages of information. Most of the information was emotional wrapped in facts, but these were used to substantiate our claims and offers. They countered with different sets of claims, facts and dollar figures. Time wore on. We were now closing in on eight hours of sitting in this conference room. The room seemed to be growing smaller. Sometime in the next hour or so we got close enough that we all thought we were not going to spend the night together in this room which we now disdained. They gave, we gave, they gave and finally we reached a deal we both thought we could sustain. Bob and I are both glad to be out of that room. We closed the deal and have moved on. We are all still friends. Our home for the past 3 years. A new five year lease extension will make this our home for the future. Thank you to our mediator Michael Ungar with Ulmer Berne llp. He taught me a lesson. There are deliberately a large number of steps in the process of mediation. Each step is designed to break down one’s resistance to settlement. Each step gives you an appreciation of what the other side needs and wants, and allows you time to consider their emotional issues with the disagreement. The lesson: You can teach old dogs new tricks. I went into this process a skeptic and came out a fan. Sincerely, Ralph McGreevy Executive Vice President Suites Magazine 5 Welcome New Members!

By: Andrew Gorski, owner Miracle Method of Cleveland With the rising number of baby boomers retiring, the apartment industry is pivoting to cater to this growing population of renters. Senior living apartments that cater to 55+ residents are one of the fastest growing trend in the country, however, capitalizing on these stable renters is causing Apartment Managers to alter their communities to assure that they are providing the needs that fit their clientele. One of managements biggest concern has to be safety. No room poses a bigger threat to safety than the bathroom. Slip and fall accidents when entering and exiting the bathtub or shower contribute to nearly 25% of hospital admissions, especially among people age 65 and older, and the most common result is a hip fracture. shower conversion can make a bathroom safer, and thus make the rental property more desirable to this growing number of apartment dwellers. Whenever an accident occurs, whether or not the slip and fall was the fault of the resident, property owners are often faced with potential litigation. Key to the property owner’s defense is what preventive measures were taken to assure a safe bathroom. The Easy Step is part of a safety package offered by Andrew Gorski and his Miracle Method Surface Refinishing office in Cleveland. Installed in less than a day, the 24” wide by 9” unit converts an existing bathtub into a shower, making it safer to step through, instead of over, the side of the tub. It is the key component in a safety package that includes the installation of a slip resistant surface, ADA-approved grab bars, a hand held shower nozzle and a curved shower rod, all items designed to create a safer apartment bathroom for senior and mobility-impaired residents. The presence of ADA-approved safety grab bars and a slip resistant surface in the bottom of a bathtub or shower goes a long way to convince a judge or jury that the property’s management had taken reasonable precautions. For the growing number of senior residents, the existence of a Miracle Method Easy Step® tub to “A real advantage to the Easy Step™ for apartment owners and property managers is that that if they save the removed tub piece,” says Gorski, “it can be replaced at a later date, and you’ll never know the conversion had been made.” This is a welcome feature for properties that may not need the Easy Step for the next resident. With the Easy Step tub to shower conversion by Miracle Method, residents can step through, not over, the side of the tub, making bathing safer and easier!

Suites Magazine 15 Jeff Ramsey Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization Jeff Ramsey, front right and Councilman Matt Zone, front left with the Detroit Shoreway staff on the steps of the Capitol Theater, Detroit and W. 65th The Detroit Shoreway area on Cleveland’s near West Side wears the tag line, “A Neighborhood with a View, a Community with a Vision.’’ Anchors of the neighborhood - community leaders who trace their roots there to the turn-of-the-century, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, long-time residents accept where they’ve been, know where they stand and have worked incredibly hard to set a course on where they hope to go. “There are people who have choices who are choosing to live here,’’ said Cleveland Housing Court Judge Ray Pianka, a lifelong resident and former city councilman for the neighborhood that spans from West 45th to West 85th streets, north of Interstate 90 to the lakefront. It’s those passing by without so much as a glance who overlook this view and vision, and they might be stunned to learn what they’ve been missing: Recent momentum has put Detroit Shoreway in the spotlight for all the right reasons. But it wasn’t so long ago that Pianka’s observation would have been as likely as a Cleveland sports championship. • • • • 16 May 2012 One of Cleveland’s fastest-growing and arts districts. An array of restaurants, shops and clubs exclusive to the area. A blossoming real estate portfolio with offerings from low-income historic renovation to new, high-end market-rate housing. A tapestry of about 15,000 residents as ethnically and financially diverse as you’ll find in the city. By 1990, the neighborhood had a 40 percent poverty rate, the median home price had slipped to $16,000 and the list of ailments read like a menu for the downtrodden. “It got pretty bad,’’ recalled Ward 15 Councilman Matt Zone, whose family has lived in Detroit Shoreway for four generations. “We virtually had no retail on Detroit Avenue. Lorain Avenue was starting to get run down. We had a lot of resale shops and a heavy concentration of illegal activity and some undesirable bars that were festering a lot of problems. “We had a lot of irresponsible property owners. We had a day hotel at 65th and Detroit that was just a haven for prostitution, and it was like an all-time low in the mid-’90s.’’ It took much pulling in the same direction, from longtime stakeholders and fresh visionaries who bought into the potential, to reverse the decline that wracks so many American cities. A comprehensive community master plan in 2002 - a three-headed plan, actually, that considered Detroit Shoreway as a whole, with separate conceptions for a Gordon Square Arts District and an environmentally innovative Cleveland EcoVillage - inspired residents to take ownership and developed a self-identity and neighborhood pride that had been missing. “That,’’ Zone said, “was a real turning point for our neighborhood.’’ the 1890s, said attendance at the Capitol increased 14 percent last year at a time when most movie houses saw business decline. Developers hope to break ground this year on the Near West Theatre and complete renovations on the Cleveland Public Theatre, which features original plays by local and international playwrights. When completed in 2013, the arts district will have resulted in 950 permanent jobs. Better yet, the reopening of the Capitol Theatre and $3 million in streetscape improvements (wider sidewalks for street cafes, public art, new street lights) on Oct. 1, 2009, inspired 60 new businesses to open. Among them was Spice Kitchen and Bar, a bricks-andmortar offshoot of the popular Spice of Life Catering Co., which opened in mid-January at West 58th Street and Detroit Avenue. While scouting locations, owner Ben Bebenroth was urged to take a look at the historic building he’s now in. “I just thought it was such an iconic piece of architecture,’’ he said. “This was the first space that actually gave us a restaurant, a storefront, retail space and a street-level presence.’’ As he shopped locations and learned more about Detroit Shoreway, Bebenroth said he was impressed with how clean it was, “and that the arts was not just something they trucked in as an attraction, it was the driving force of the neighborhood.’’ Likewise, when Jeff Moreau opened Sweet Moses, a 1920’s-40’s vintage soda shop in March 2011, he sought an old traditional storefront in a neighborhood rather than a suburban lifestyle center. With its home-made, from-scratch ice creams, chocolates, toppings - even their own root beer - a soda fountain from the 1940s and a back bar that’s about 100 years old, Sweet Moses pulls in an afterdinner, after-show crowd from downtown, Tremont, Ohio City and points beyond. A decade later, the area five minutes west of downtown Cleveland is a model of reinvention - built on the sturdy foundation and architectural character of what was already there. The arts has provided perhaps the biggest impact. Where some neighborhoods create what becomes an almost faux-like pass at culture, Detroit Shoreway stakeholders chose to use arts and culture as an economic development tool. Roughly $25 million of an ambitious $30 million capital campaign has been raised to create the Gordon Square Arts District, a bustling strip of restaurants, shops, galleries and theaters that runs from the Reinberger Auditorium at West 52nd Street to the West 78th Street Studios, the former American Greetings creative studios turned artists’ studios and galleries. The district’s nexus is found at West 65th Street and Detroit Avenue, where the restored Capitol Theatre draws 50,000 film aficionados a year. Developers defied skeptics who believed standalone theaters couldn’t make it by partnering with the two other theaters (Near West Theatre and Cleveland Public Theatre) and making it an anchor of a comprehensive arts district. Developers preserved the grandeur of the 1920’s movie palace on the ground floor, while splitting the balcony into two 100-seat theaters. The Capitol’s three screens show everything from arts and independent films to first-run Hollywood movies to a Sunday classics brunch series. Jeff Ramsey, executive director of the nonprofit Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization, whose family traces its roots to the neighborhood to Suites Magazine 17 Jeff Ramsey - Detroit Shoreway “Through diversity there’s strength,’’ Pianka said. Detroit Shoreway also prides itself on its economic diversity and social services. When a gas explosion wiped out her home nearby, Christa Hendricks had lost everything.The Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization arranged for her family to stay in the Kennedy Building. She’s been there 2 1/2 years and enjoys the convenience of having everything in walking distance, but also an overall can-do attitude. Atrium of the Detroit Shoreway Community Building, Detroit and W. 65th “It was an area that was growing,’’ Moreau said, “with a lot of potential.’’ Detroit Shoreway, by design, is also an area with an open embrace. Community leaders, from Ramsey to Zone to Pianka, sounded a consistent theme: All welcome. Detroit Shoreway is the epitome of “melting pot:’’ A fourth of the population is Hispanic, another fourth African-American, and another fourth for which English is their second language. There are strong pockets of Italian, Vietnamese, German, Irish, Slovenian, Laotian, and now, Zone said, the neighborhood is seeing a whole new group of immigrants from Africa. 18 May 2012 “Every day,’’ Hendricks said, “there’s something new or something to try to make it better.’’ While social services is a priority, the Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization is also in the real estate business. The nonprofit owns and manages 50,000 square feet of commercial space and 210 apartment units in 13 buildings, all of them historic renovation projects by way of the district’s designation on the National Register of Historic Places. The most recent rental undertaking is the Sylvia Building on Franklin Boulevard, a $3 million, 1920’s-era renovation of 18 units set to open in May. “It’s not just rehabbing a building for the sake of a profit,’’ said Ramsey, who was a Realtor with the upstart Progressive Urban Real Estate, a pioneer in urban living in Cleveland, before joining the Detroit Shoreway organization as a development specialist in 1987. Community Development Organization “We’re rehabbing it for the benefit of the community, creating assets for the community, bringing jobs to the neighborhood, businesses to the neighborhood, services that people need,’’ he said. “So it’s development with a purpose.’’ And for profit, which helps ride through economic downturns and offset cuts across the board in public funding for community development corporations. DSCDO earns about $1.5 million a year in rental income and, in any given year, may be involved in $3 million to $5 million in development activity. The apartment portfolio ranges in age from the 1898 Courtland Building, centered with a two-story atrium, at West 54th Street, to the Detroit Chateau on West 80th, which was built in 1927. Rental prices range from income-based federal public housing to two-bedroom loft-style apartments with lake views that lease for about $1,500 per month. While the bulk of Detroit Shoreway’s apartment projects serve working-class residents, essentially those on annual incomes of about $14,000 to $34,000, high-end, market-rate housing is also finding its way into the neighborhood. The very ambitious Battery Park is rising between West 73rd and 76th streets, just south of Edgewater Park, on the site of the old Eveready Battery factory site. to townhomes and condominiums, priced from about $180,000 to $380,000. Seventy-five houses have sold since the project was launched in 2006, spurred by plans to remake the Shoreway as a boulevard. But among what Ramsey is most proud of is that such development is designed to complement rather than replace. “We have brought investment to neighborhoods that are underserved and still have maintained the character of the communities as diverse, mixedincome communities,’’ he said. “Some neighborhoods, they define success as gentrification get rid of all the poor people and you solve all your problems. That’s not what we believe. We believe that a healthy community is one where there is opportunity for all income levels, for employment, for housing, for services, and that’s what we try to do.’’ When complete, the project by the Vintage Development Group will consist of 320 units of forsale housing, from contemporary single-family units Suites Magazine 19 Choosing the Right Vendor At a recent Associates Council meeting, which we hold the second Friday of every month, the presenter was Joseph Conti, accompanied by Yvette Rouff, both from PK Management. Below are some of his notes from his presentation that we believed would be of value to all NOAA members. My name is Joseph Conti and I am the Regional Facilities/Services Manager for PK Management’s Northern Division. I want to thank you for allowing me to spend some time with you this morning and I hope what I have to share is helpful. My background is in Project Management for both Commercial and Residential Construction. I have recently joined the team at PK Management, and prior to coming on board at PK I have been involved as a National Project Manager, working on many types of facilities such as high rises and multi-family properties, commercial buildings, Universities, Malls and Retail Facilities. Coming onboard with PKM, I have had the privilege of joining a team of very dedicated professionals as well as some of the finest people it has been my pleasure to get to know and work alongside with on a daily basis. Does the vendor/company recognize some of the necessities in functioning in and around High Rises/ Mid Rises/Garden Style? Is the contractor/vendor/supplier aware of the need for providing safety measures for PK Managements residents and properties, and do they have a good track record for safety? Will all of their supplied labor force be OSHA trained and are they current with the required Insurances and Workers Compensation? communication from all vendors and contractors. PK Management is committed to communicating to our residents in order to provide both the PK residents and managerial staff the time and information necessary to prepare for a project and any disruptions to their daily routines. Are they certified & licensed as a trade professional? Are they aware of the latest technology for their particular trade or industry? PK issues project timelines to each property so that operations can be maintained as normally as possible without interrupting the many social services PK Management provides to our residents and properties. Communication Communication is a very important aspect for becoming a PK vendor. We insist on prompt and timely Experience and References PK Management does check on referrals and past work histories. Continued on page 22 Go for it. We’ve got your back.

Government moves to convert foreclosures to rentals Apartment Vacancies at Lowest Level in More Than a Decade WASHINGTON -- The government is looking to sell off some of its stock of homes in foreclosure. The housing market remains a potent drag on the economy as home prices continue to slip, foreclosed homes fill some neighborhoods and millions of construction workers scramble for jobs. The Federal Housing Finance Agency has control over roughly 250,000 foreclosed homes owned by Fannie Mae. One percent of those homes, or 2,500, will be available for investors to buy and convert into rentals. But one group is sitting pretty: landlords. http://bit.ly/natapvac http://bit.ly/fhfa1percent University Circle could see parking lot become $100 million tech, office and apartment complex CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Offices, apartments, a hub for tech companies and a 700-car garage could rise from a surface parking lot at the edge of University Circle and Little Italy starting early next year. http://bit.ly/UC100mil High rental prices at Uptown apartments in University Circle may test the market CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The apartments at Uptown in University Circle represent a different style of renting in Cleveland: Wide, curving hallways with a cool color palette, leading to modern, white living spaces. At $1,325 to $2,260 per month, those apartments also represent a stretch toward higher prices, in a city that’s just starting to see modest rent growth spurred by strong demand. Suites Magazine 21 Choosing the Right Vendor Continued from page 20 run concurrently during projects, so adhering toa predetermined schedule is critical. Do they have experience working on similar properties and projects? Who are their references in our specific market place and what feedback do they have from them and can we contact these referrals? How current are these referrals and projects? There are often multiple projects as well as projects with multiple trades and stages that require strict schedule adherence. Apartment units need to be turned over and ready for new residents - this necessitates being prompt and on schedule for our staff to be able to complete their work. Commitment PK Management requires for all vendors contractors - visitors to commit to adherence of property procedures. Sign In/Out – ALL Vendors, Contractors and Visitors, must show credentials upon arrival & sign in, and then sign out when completed – this procedure allows for PK Property staff to: • Check vendors in – verify credentials. • Establish on site communications – and update the project and changing site needs. • Confirm the area of the project and monitor progress. • Ensure resident safety and emergency vehicle access. • Professional Appearance and Demeanor – our staff is dressed professionally and our vendors should be as well. We prefer them to be dressed in their company logo clothing or another means of identification upon sight and they should communicate with PK Staff promptly with any issues, needs and/or changes. Schedule PK Management is committed to our residents needs and provides many services and activities that will Pricing Everyone is familiar with one of the biggest components: Pricing – it’s an important part of the decision process - but what does it take to give the lowest and/or the most competitive bid? Vendors must have the property and the company’s best interest first and foremost and that includes providing PK Management with potential options for value engineering, alternative ideas and innovation to each project. Vendors must provide PKM with the best pricing on materials and equipment. Having a certified and trained labor force to afford PK Management and our properties with the best possible production effort allows for maximum site efficiency and shorter project times and that keeps labor costs down. Staying within the budget / avoiding scope creep this is a big part of keeping PK Managements Interests in the forefront of every project. Clean work site – again activities and services for families with young children and those energetic seniors, got to keep it clean and safe! All of these things we have talked about here help PK Management in determining a vendor’s ability to complete our projects within the needs and requirements of each individual property and contributes to pricing and overall value for every PK Management project PK Management PK Management is an owner/ manager of Affordable Housing Solutions across the country, so with regard to PK Managements properties and portfolios, standardization of our processes and practices allows for the best opportunities for all contractors to bid competitively. For all PK projects we create a set of specifications and gather them into bid packages so that we can get the apples to apples bid comparison necessary to give all vendors an equal chance to be awarded the project. PK works with both large vendors as well as the smaller private business owners too! That is why we ensure that everyone who is looking at our projects is supplied with the same project specifications, requirements opportunity to bid and be competitive. As a leader in the Affordable Housing Industry – PK Management represents numerous opportunities for all levels of vendors and service providers.

Mandato, EVP, System Care, Inc. Warning: Spam e-mails are not only annoying and time consuming, but they’re also becoming more dangerous to your personal privacy and the security of your computer. Millions of computers users are getting infected, spoofed, and tricked by spam e-mails every year, forcing the user to pay hefty fees to clean and restore their PCs back to working order. There are 3 NEW dangers that all computer users must be aware of: 1. An increase in hijacked and spoofed e-mail addresses. Spammers have discovered new ways to make it appear as though their spam e-mail is coming from YOUR computer. This could result in having your Internet connection terminated or put on hold by your ISP - all without your knowledge. That is why good spam blocking software will not only block inbound spam from your inbox, but also unauthorized outbound spam from your serves. 2. An increase in viruses-carrying spam. Accidentally open a spam e-mail carrying a nasty virus and you can end up with big problems ranging from the slowing of your system to more serious threats such as system crashes, data loss, identity theft, redirecting your web browser to porn sites, and more. 3. Phishing spam. A phishing e-mail appears to be a legitimate e-mail from a bank, vendor, friend, or other trusted source. The purpose is to trick you into giving confidential information such as bank accounts, social security numbers, passwords, and credit card information.You’ve probably already received a PayPal or bank spam e-mail that said your account was going to be closed unless you verified your information. It then directs you to a very convincing web site where you input certain information the spammer is trying to glean. In reality, this is a malicious third party that is going to use your information to open credit card accounts, access your account, steal money, and cause you other major identity and financial problems. So what can we do about this? First and foremost, it’s absolutely critical that you get a quality spam blocking software installed as a first 24 May 2012 line of defense. New government regulations haven’t done a single thing towards preventing or stopping spammers so the responsibility lies on your shoulders. As you probably already know from firsthand experience, once you’re on a spammer’s list, it’s impossible to get off; and changing your e-mail address can be a major inconvenience especially if you rely on it to stay in touch with important business and personal contacts. To reduce the chances of your e-mail address getting on a spammers list, here are 4 simple preventative measures you can take that will go a long way in keeping notso-delicious spam out of your in-box. 1. Use a disposable e-mail address. If you buy products online or occasionally subscribe to web sites that interest you, chances are you’re going to get spammed. To avoid your main e-mail address from ending up on their broadcast list, set up a free Internet e-mail address with Hotmail or Juno and use it when buying or opting in to online newsletters. 3. Don’t post your main e-mail address on your website, web forums, or newsgroups. Spammers have special programs that can glean e-mail addresses from websites without your permission. If you are posting to a web forum or newsgroup, use your disposable e-mail address instead of your main e-mail address. If you want to post an e-mail address on your home page, use “info@” and have all replies forwarded to a folder in your in-box that won’t interfere with your main address. 4. Don’t open, reply to or try to optout of obvious spam e-mails. Opening, replying to, or even clicking a bogus opt-out link in an obvious spam e-mail signals that your e-mail address is active, and more spam will follow. The only time it is safe to click on the opt-out link or reply to the e-mail is when the message was sent from a company you know or do business with (for example, a company that you purchase from or a newsletter you subscribed to). 2. Pay attention to check boxes that automatically opt you in. Whenever you subscribe to a website or make a purchase online, be very watchful of small, pre-checked boxes that say, “Yes! I want to receive offers from third party companies.” If you do not un-check the box to opt-out, your e-mail address can (and will) be sold to every online advertiser. To avoid this from happening, simply take a closer look at every online form you fill out. Call System Care Inc 440-925-4005 to check your system for SPAM and to implement Spam detection tools that can save you valuable time and money!
