Business Briefcase byShaneMcOwen
IN THE BIZ
Hello again, everyone, and welcome to the Business Briefcase! It’s good to be back. As you can tell, your Briefcase host made it back from Iceland without incident. I made sure to stay a respectful distance from the various volcanoes scattered about the island. And yes, the trip was real, not part of an elaborate April Fools’ Day hoax. April 1 quietly came and went for your Briefcase host. I’m not usually big on playing practical jokes, mostly because I don’t want to deal with the consequences of getting pranked in return. I’m also not willing to put that much work ShaneMcOwen into irritating a friend, coworker or family member. Seems there are many unintentional ways of getting that job done. The origin of April Fools’ Day seems to be a tricky (pun intended) thing to nail down. The internet tells me The Canterbury Tales, written in 1392 in medieval England, contains the first recorded association between April 1 and foolishness. One hundred years before Columbus sailed the ocean blue! Here are this week’s business updates, no tricks included. First up, Solterra Avondale is in the very early stages of coming to the city along the south side of Van Buren Street,

just west of Fourth Street between Dysart and Litchfield roads. The ownership group has formally submitted a rezoning application to allow the development of an assisted living and memory care facility. Solterra has five senior living communities in Arizona: two in the Valley, and one each in Lakeside, Tucson and Yuma. There’s still a ways to go on this project until the groundbreaking with various city meetings, but keep an eye out for it. For information on Solterra, visit solterrasl.com. My editor passed along a reader tip that let us know The Attic at the White House, 127 E. Western Ave. in Avondale, has now closed. The Attic opened in 2005, and was a thrift store that was run by volunteers and offered household items, clothes, toys, electronics and office supplies among other donated items. It looks like the thrift store closed up shop about a month ago.

Another reader tip has let the Briefcase know that G’s Food restaurant is now closed. G’s was at 10328 W. Indian School Road in Avondale, and specialized in cheesesteaks, hot dogs and bratwurst. The Briefcase wasn’t able to get in contact with the owners for more detail. As with most closing announcements, it’s not always easy to get a hold of the folks who ran the joint, and often times even if you do, they’re not keen on discussing details. The Briefcase will share more if any information becomes available for G’s. That’s all for this week, folks. It’s a bit of an abbreviated edition, since your Briefcase host only had a couple of hours to hit the trails for this week’s inclusions. We’ll get back to the regularly scheduled Business Briefcase columns next week. The Business Briefcase can be reached by email at smcowen@westvalleyview. com or on Twitter @ShaneMcOwen. Thanks for tuning in. Have a great week.

The last time the Tolleson Police Department used any sort of cameras to record calls for service, VHS tapes were still around. Now, officers are being equipped with digital body cameras that store data in the cloud. As body cameras became more common among police departments in the last few years, Tolleson let other agencies test them out and work out any kinks, Police Chief Wayne Booher said. “We feel like that was a really good move to sit back and just kind of let the dust settle a little bit,” he said. “There’s been a lot of changes — stuff that’s gone through the state Legislature as far as how they’re going to regulate this stuff. We didn’t want to go out and invest all this money and have things change to where we’d have to put more money into changing something or the process or the way the evidence is captured and stored.” In January, the Tolleson City Council approved an agreement with Taser International to provide 30 body cameras, chargers, docking stations and mounts at a cost of $33,000, which also included one year of storage for the video, Booher said. After the first year, the city will pay a storage fee of about $2,200 per month, depending on the amount of video that is recorded and saved, he said. Everyone in the department will get a camera, including officers, detectives and supervisors, Booher said. Detective Erden Jakupi, who has been with the Tolleson Police Department for five years, said he thinks the cameras will be a great benefit to the city. “I think it will help protect officers from bad complaints, but mostly it will show the public how we operate and what we see on a daily basis, which I think will kind of help improve the trust between the public and the police department,” Jakupi said. Training has been completed, and the cameras were expected to be fully deployed the week of March 13, Booher said. “There’s really not a whole lot to it,” he said. “Taser made it pretty simple — they made it cop proof.” Recordings will be uploaded to evidence.com and stored on a cloud-based system, where they can be accessed directly by the county attorney, Booher said. “Before, if they wanted some video we’ve taken, we had to burn it to a disc and

mail or take it over there by hand,” he said. Supervisors are required to conduct audits and view a certain number of videos each month to make sure everything is being done properly, Booher said. “We’re giving the officers like 30 days to kind of play with them and get creative as far as their use,” he said. “Just because it’s on their body, it doesn’t have to stay there. If they’re videotaping some evidence, they can take it off and move the camera around.” All of the body cameras are mounted on the officers’ chests. “I know they make the ones that mount on your ball cap and glasses, but we’re going to start out simple at first and see how this works, and maybe expand it a little bit later,” Booher said. It’s a far cry from the days of dash cameras that used VHS tapes, when officers kept 30 days worth of tape for each vehicle that had to be rotated out every month, Booher said. “It was just a nightmare and we didn’t use them very long, because the logistics of it was just too complicated,” he said. “Now with everything digital, you upload this and push a button for that — it’s so much easier.”

KPS Global opens new location in Goodyear Refrigeration insulation manufacturer invests more than $2.3 million into former Suntech facility byKourtneyBalsan KPS Global opened its new Goodyear manufacturing facility, 3801 S. Cotton Lane in Goodyear, December 2016 with a ribbon cutting on Jan. 26, bringing more money and jobs to the West Valley. “It is always rewarding to watch companies and their ownership reinvest in excellence and growth, and KPS Global is certainly a tremendous example,” Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said in a press release. “We look forward to continuing to see KPS grow in Goodyear and very much appreciate their additional employment of citizens in our community.” Formed by the merger of Kysor Panel
Systems and Hill-Phoenix Walk-Ins, KPS Global’s Goodyear location will manufacture insulated panels as the company specializes in walk-in refrigerators and freezers, said Ashleigh Martin, KPS Global marketing manager. “Once you create the insulated panel, then the applications vary from a retail convenience store, grocery wholesale club kind of environment for walk-in coolers and freezers, or it could also go for on the industrial application, whether it be scientific or utility enclosures or potentially cold storage,” Martin said. KPS Global left its former facility, 3831 S. Bullard Ave., Goodyear, to move into the new facility, which was previously owned by Suntech, investing more than $2.3 million upgrading the manufacturing lines and creating more space to accommodate the company’s expected growth, said Michelle Lawrie, Goodyear economic development director. “Our Goodyear facility is a winner,” Jack Bowling, CEO of KPS Global, said
in a press release. “Our employees got the facility they wanted and deserved.” The company retained 55 employees from the previous Goodyear location and more than doubled the headcount adding between 75 and 85 new employees, officials said. The company was looking to stay in Goodyear to find a facility to meet its expanding needs, Martin said. “We have been so pleased. Our employees are thrilled to bits. They get to come in and work in an amazing facility,” Martin said. “We’ve had no issues. The city has been great to work with, so we’ve been very pleased with the overall experience.” The Fort Worth Texas-based company also has a location in Tennessee. “We’ve been really grateful for the way that the city has worked with us as it represents a significant investment for us,” Martin said. “From a strategic standpoint in innovation, in efficiency, in quality, it’s a state-of-the-art facility that gives us the room we need to grow. We are looking forward to being a good partner in the community.”

ESTRELLA MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE in Avondale is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
EMCC celebrates silver anniversary community colleges in the nation. Campus has developed topMore than 6,000 students have graduated from the school, which has 93 fullwith community since time faculty and 395 part-time instructors.

byGlennGullickson When Estrella Mountain Community College opened in Avondale in 1992, there was just empty land around a campus with three buildings. Over the years, the city grew around the Dysart Road campus, which has grown to nine buildings as it celebrates its silver anniversary year. The milestone will be marked Saturday with the Silver Anniversary Gala at the Wigwam in Litchfield Park, an event that will launch the Alumni Legacy Scholarship Fund. EMCC President Ernest Lara, who has been with the college since its inception, remembered the landscape when the campus opened with 1,012 students. “There wasn’t anything around us whatsoever,” Lara said. Originally called Estrella Mountain Community College Center, a satellite of Glendale Community College, the school expanded course offerings for a student body that’s grown almost every semester to 14,000 students and earned accolades as one of the
Colleges before transferring to the new school to be in charge of student services, remembered that recruiting students was one of the first big challenges. A year before the campus opened, Lara said the school operated out of offices in an Avondale strip mall and conducted classes in area high schools. Lara said recruiters used “smoke and mirrors” to lure students to a college without a campus. “We needed to show them we had quality programs,” Lara said. “Otherwise, they would drive right past us.” Community colleges are an American educational innovation offering open enrollment to everyone for a program that can result in an associate’s degree after two years of study. Lara said he tells young people “you’re going to need an education beyond high school,” noting that the college prepares students for some jobs that haven’t been created yet. He said the key to building the campus population has been to engage potential students in high school, then see that they succeed in college.

“We’re trying to focus on student success with whatever we do,” he said. Lara said the school that started by offering general education has developed what he called “hallmark programs” ranging from culinary studies to nursing and including STEAM or education related to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. “We really wanted to make sure students could be prepared in those areas,” Lara said. Lara said EMCC educators recognized early on the importance of technology, and a recent audit revealed that the campus has as many computers as Mesa Community College, which has the largest enrollment in the 11-school Maricopa Community College system. The emphasis is also reflected in EMCC’s Makers Space, which opened last year as a 21st century-style shop class, where students blend their knowledge with technology and engineering tools. A cyber security program that started a couple of years ago received certification from the Homeland Security Agency. The school’s arts programs got a boost in 2015 with the opening of the Performing Arts Center, home to a theater program with expanding enrollments thanks to the new facility.

Lara, who is observing his own anniversary as EMCC president for 10 years, said the school’s classrooms are full. “We’re actually running out of space,” said Lara, who would like to add to the school’s faculty and staff. The school’s history and success will be celebrated during the gala, the “signature event” of a series of anniversary activities that will continue through 2017, according to Jonathan Robles, director of alumni, corporate and foundation relations at EMCC. The gala, which will include a reception, dinner, silent auction and exhibits of memorabilia and student art work, is an opportunity to thank the community, Robles said. “We want to put the community in com-

munity college,” he said. Keynote speaker will be Harold Branch, who as a high school drop-out, enrolled at EMCC as part of Genesis West, a program that offered students the opportunity to earn a high school diploma while pursuing a college degree. “He’s one of our success stories,” Robles said. In what Robles called a “talk show format,” gala masters of ceremonies Dave Topping, coordinator of media services, and Tim Butterfield, coordinator of fine arts facilities, will solicit reflections from founding and current faculty members. The college’s first Distinguished Alumni Award will also be presented. Also at the gala, Southwest Ballet Theatre will perform a scene from its upcoming show Tarzan.
