New Economy Power Lunches [Rose Law Group Reporter]
Rose Law Group hosted the tenth episode of The New Economy (Virtual) Power Lunch today. RLG Founder and President Jordan Rose and RLG Co-Founder and Partner Court Rich engaged with another panel of local leaders who shared their insights on COVID-19’s impact on our state.
This week, they heard from "the best of the best" in the retail and real estate industries!
1st panelist was Andy Warren, President of Arizona homebuilder Maracay Homes. Warren is known for his deep understanding of the housing market and decades long track record of being a leader in the industry. Maracay focuses exclusively on the Arizona market and was named the 2019 #1 Top Company to Work for in Arizona by The Arizona Republic in partnership with the Arizona Commerce Authority and BestCompaniesAZ. Warren is also an Executive Committee Board Member and serves as Chairman of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council.
Also joining this week was Darryl Berger, a co-founder of BB Living, a national leader in build-to-rent that pioneered the industry back in 2012. BB Living is a single-family rental community developer that has teamed with Toll Brothers and a large private equity fund. Berger is also the Founder and CEO of Berger Holdings – a top diversified real estate investment company. Berger Holdings owns and manages single and multi-family rentals and hotels. Berger is well-known for his widespread experience with property investment management.
Representing the retail industry, Ann Siner – the Co-Founder and CEO of Eco-Chic Consignments, was also on our panel. Eco-Chic Consignments, Inc. is a family of three high-end designer consignment concepts — My Sister’s Closet (women), My Sister’s Attic (home furnishings), and Well Suited (men). Eco-Chic Consignments, a 24-million-dollar business, has fourteen locations in Arizona and Southern California and continues to thrive despite the current economic conditions.
Also returning to the panel was Dr. Joshua Lewis, an emergency room doctor on the front-line of the COVID-19 pandemic. He provided us a breakdown of how our state is weathering the virus so far.
If you missed it watch here and next week book em… 12-1 Friday we have a standing new power date.
Details on another riveting panel to come… thank you everyone for participating.

- temporary signage for all businesses and organizations,

otherwise effected by the pandemic. (Citywide)
| File #: | 20-0619 |

This resolution is intended to assist businesses and other organizations that are operating in a limited capacity due to the pandemic, or otherwise effected by the pandemic. (Citywide) |
| Attachments: | 1. Council Report, 2. Resolution |
> Seating areas
have been reduced up to 50% (in some cases higher) to accommodate social
distancing requirements. The Arizona Restaurant Associated Association proposed considering
modifications to City Codes to facilitate temporary expansions that will allow an
increase in customers while complying with the emergency procedures. This
resolution, as proposed, also adopts a policy of suspending enforcement of
temporary signage to promote individual restaurants and their services.
> City staff from numerous departments have been collaborating to develop a very
streamlined process to approve expansion of premises requests. This will be
accomplished through a consolidated, very brief, no-charge application and approval
review process. The goal is to approve requests within two to four days. The
process will rely on restaurant owners/operators obtaining landlord approvals to
expand their facilities and to ensure compliance with life/safety requirements for
public safety. The Development Services Small Business Assistant will be the
central point of contact for receiving, reviewing, and documenting approval of
expansion requests
