MINU'T'ES
The Economic and Business Development Board met in a regularly scheduled meeting on
Wednesday, June 2, 1993, at 7:00 p.m. in the Executive Conference Room of Coppell Town
Center. The following Board Members were present: Wm. Rohloff, Bronwyn Brock, Don
Keach, Linda Millegan; Special Board Members: John Mark Bonnot, Roy Brock, Regina
Johnson, and Tom Morton.
Item 1: Call to Order: William A. Rohloff called the meeting to order. A quorum was
present.
Item 2: Review and Approval of Minutes: Minutes of the May 5, 1993 Board meeting
was reviewed and approved upon a motion by Regina Johnson, seconded by
Linda Millegan.
Item 3: Presentation by Catellus Development Corporation: Steve Bryan from Catellus
and Doug Johnson from the commercial broker firm of Cushman and Wakefield
gave a presentation to the Board conceiving the 220 acres of development space
that Catellus has in Coppell. They noted that interest in industrial development
in the DFW area is picking up again and there is high interest in Coppell. They
have been working with two groups, one interested in 100 acres in the city.
From Mr. Johnson's perspective as a broker, he sees all of the industrial
landowners in Coppell as being strong. There was lengthy discussion on the need
to continue to promote Coppell. A newsletter sent to brokers was suggested and
the planned developer/broker social function was encouraged. The Valwood
Industrial Park to the east and Centreport to the south are Coppell's competition.
The four "deals" consummated in Coppell over the last three years, in this
economy, is to be applauded. While the timeline for an industrial deal to happen
varies, Catellus and Cushman see positive events for Coppell. In their opinion,
it is only a matter of time and marketing. They see a real need for strong,
responsive support from the City to business location inquiries.
Item 4: Coppell International Music Exchange: Jeana Alexander presented to the Board
a request for financial support of a music exchange workshop scheduled for
Coppell during the month of July. The workshop will involve twenty-seven (27)
German music students and faculty. Coppell families and businesses are hosting
the Germans in this program which has previously been held in Los Angeles as
the US city alternating with the German town of Ibbenburen. The exchange will
include a concert by the Dallas Jazz Orchestra in Coppell and will generate
significant media attention to the community. There is the ' possibility that a
genuine sister -city relationship can be developed between Coppell and Ibbenburen
as a result of this event. Mrs. Alexander requested a donation of $1,000 from
the Board to support printing, publicity and reception activities. Bronwyn Brock
made a motion to approve the request, which was seconded by Linda Millegan
and approved by the Board.
Item 5: Discussion/Appointment of Budget Committee: Mr. Rohloff reported to the
Board that the 1993-94 budget request from this body is needed by the City staff
no later than July 9, 1993. A subcommittee composed of Bronwyn Brock, Jerry
Singleton and William Rohloff was appointed to prepare recommendations to the
Board. Those recommendations will be reviewed prior to or at the regular July
meeting of the Board.
Item 6: Reception for Developers and Real Estate Brokers: Don Keach reported to the
Board that Thursday, October 14 is the date selected for this event. City Hall
will be the site and some type of "theme" will be selected. Committee help will
be needed for food, invitations and event operations. Regina Johnson is assisting
with the planning, and more details will be forthcoming.
Item 7: Review and Discussion of the Media Relations Report: Kay Tiller presented her
report for May, which primarily included work on the city brochure. She
requested that a special Board session be scheduled to critique the copy and
format. The Board agreed to hold such a session later in June. Ms. Brock made
a motion to accept Ms. Tiller's report and approve payment of her billing
statement. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Millegan and approved by the
Board.
Item 8: Reports from Liaisons and Special Board Members:
a) Council Liaison Report - Mr. Morton reported that he is working to get
organized with a changed council composition, but will continue working
with this Board for awhile. He reminded everyone of the runoff election
this Saturday.
b) Coppell Chamber of Commerce - John Mark Bonnot distributed a report
on the Chamber's activity and copies of the Chamber newsletter. He
noted that Kirk King is working on the Strategic Plan retreat for July 9,
1993.
c) Coppell Independent School District - Mr. Brock reported that the CISD
has had a walkthrough of Lakeside Elementary and it will be ready for
classes in the fall. Also this fall, the district will return to the K-5, 6-8
and 9-12 grade level format. The Intermediate School will be converted
to the East Coppell Middle School. Town Center Elementary will start
construction this fall, with completion due 15 months out.
Item 9: General Discussion and Other Business:
a) Mr. Rohloff noted that he was contacted about the prospect of establishing
an Arts Council in Coppell and possible representation by this Board.
More details to come.
b) The Board was presented with a written request from the Exchange Club
to fund replacement of banners for Fourth of July celebrations in Coppell.
The request was not approved.
C) Ms. Brock raised the question of providing an Economic Development
Newsletter. Mr. Morton reviewed the failed history of the "Dividends"
newsletter and pointed out that such a project is expensive and involved.
There being no other business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 9:34
p.m., upon motion by Regina Johnson and a second by Don Keach.

present.
Item 2: Review and Approval of Minutes: Minutes of the April 7 and April 21, 1993

to reflect that James Dippold was not in attendance. Both sets of minutes were
then approved upon a motion by Ed Spalding, seconded by Linda Millegan.
Item 3: Review and Discussion of the Media Relations Report: Kay Tiller presented her
report for April, but noted that she had left her monthly billing statement at the
office. She stated that the amount due is for the May monthly retainer only. Mr.
Spalding made a motion to accept Ms. Tiller's report and approve payment of her

monthly retainer. The motion was seconded by James Dippold and approved by
the Board.
On a second matter, Ms. Tiller presented to the Board an outline description on
the projected brochure promoting Coppell. The presentation included a price
quote on getting 5,000 and 10,000 brochures printed. Those prices were $8,808
and $12,968, respectively. The Board expressed its general approval of the
brochure design and planned contents. Ms. Tiller indicated her commitment to
get it produced by September. Mr. Dippold offered to meet with her and share
the work which he had done towards upgrading the current brochure. Mr.
Rohloff asked that John Mark Bonnot, the new Chamber of Commerce Executive
Director, be contacted for his input since he will be representing the City in
economic development activities. This project is to be coordinated by Kay Tiller,
with assistance from Mr. Dippold and Mr. Bonnot, and a proposed draft is due
by June or early July for full Board review.
Item 4: Reports from Liaisons and Special Board Members:
a) Council Liaison Report - Mr. Morton noted that there is significant
interest on the Council in economic and business development and,
hopefully, a strategic plan for such can be developed by September 1. In

response team(s) to work with businesses interested in Coppell.
b) Coppell Chamber of Commerce - No report.
c) Coppell Independent School District - Mr. Brock reported that new CISD
Board member Mark Pope was sworn in this week. He also noted that if

no state funds available for school districts. At present, CISD has about
4-5 months of operating funds in reserve.
Item 5: General Discussion and Other Business - none
There being no other business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 8:14
p.m. upon motion by Ed Spalding and a second by Linda Millegan.
