BM 1988-09-14 EcDevThe Economic and Development Board of the City of Coppell met on Wednesday, September 14, 1988, at 7:30 pm in the Council Chambers of the Coppell Town Center. The following boardmembers were present: Guests: MEETING MINUTES ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD CITY OF COPPELL David Greer Don Hodges Regina Johnson Lee Richardson Angelo Vaccaro Paul Dishman - University of North Texas Jim Hinson - Citizen of Coppell The purpose of the meeting is to consider the following items: Item No. 1: Meeting Called to Order Item No. 2: Approval of Minutes Item No. 3: Chairman's Report Item No. 4: Presentation by Paul Dishman Item No. 1: Meeting Called to Order Meeting called to order by Chairman Richardson at 7:30 pm. Item No. 2: Approval of Meeting Minutes The meeting minutes of the previous meeting held on August 3, 1988, were reviewed and approved unanimously by the board. Item No. 3: Chairman's Report Chairman Richardson reported to the board on the status of the following prospects: a. Martin Brower Company chose Lewisville for the site of their new facility due to more economical land cost. b. Galaxy /GTE has investigated sites in our area. They also own land in Las Colinas. They have looked at Southlake, Westlake, Grapevine, Lewisville and Los Colinas as well. They are in need of approximately 300 acres for a facility to handle about 3000 employees. Memorandum of Meeting Economic and Business Development Board City of Coppell Page Two Boardmember Angelo Vaccaro report on the results of a survey taken to produce an inventory list of commercially zoned property. The questionaire would produce information which could be used in providing complete data on each tract of land in this class. However, the results of the survey were less than desired. Please see the attached report. The results have placed this task force into a dilemma on how best to accomplish this objective. It was concluded by the group too that a new survey be prepared along with a more informative introduction letter and to continue with this tedious task. Item No. 4: Presentation by Paul Dishman Please refer to the attached report prepared by Paul Dishman and the University of North Texas. A motion was made and passed for adjournment. END OF MEETING. Respectfully Submitted: Don C. Hodges Recording Secretary Economic and Development Board City of Coppell cc: Attendees Debbie Cravey SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE UPDATE REPORT TO E &D TASK FORCE SEPTEMBER 14,1988 The surveys were originally mailed May 18, 1988, with a cover letter, a questionnaire, and a self- addressed stamped return envelope. The names and addresses were taken from lists furnished by the Coppell Tax office. Residential and residential zoned land was excluded from the mailing. Since an owner may own more than one tract, one questionnaire per tract was sent. Most of the 36 questionnaires returned were received within 45 days of the mailing. The following information is provided to show where we are now and allow us to try to determine how to proceed. 1. Total surveys sent (one for each tract) -- 267. 2. Total returned -- 36. (seven of these need additional information) 3. Returned from P.O. - incorrect address -- 7. (correctly copied from tax info supplied) 4. Ouestionnaires that have not been returned - -23]. A) these need to be followed up. 5. Suggestions to keep up -to -date list. A) include with tax bill B) send at same time but separately 6. Need liason between information and owner /buyer. 7. Information needed to improve survey. A) attach label to questionnaire with owner information and legal Research Report Coppell Resident Analysis Prepared for: The Citizen's Economic Development Board City of Coppell Prepared by: Paul Dishman Center for Economic Development University of North Texas September, 1988 TABLE OF CONTENTS Background and Objectives Methodology Findings and Implications Recommendations Appendix Summary of Responses to Open -Ended Questions (Computer - generated Statistical Analysis attached) Sample Questionnaire BACKGROUND During the spring of 1988 the City of Coppell via the Citizen's Economic Development Board determined that further research was needed to enhance understanding as to why people choose to live in Coppell. There are two reasons for this study. One is that the Economic Development Board has chosen a strategic path of residential and commercial parallel development and a foiinulation of a effective promotional message is required. Secondly, it is believed that there is a strong relationship between company executives affinity for certain residential areas and the influence that this has on company relocation. This study was administered to find out what is important to people in Coppell and how can these positive influential factors be communicated most efficiently. This report contains the findings of the study and recommendations for possible promotional activities that would accomplish the objectives as set forth by the Citizens Economic Development Board. METHODOLOGY In the summer of 1988 a four -page, direct -mail questionnaire was sent to a random number of 500 Coppell households. Of this number 135 were returned, either through mail -backs or via a local drop -off point in the city of Coppell. Of these 100 were deemed usable and complete for a net response rate of 20 %. (Approximately 113 were returned due to move -outs or delivery error.) The 100 usable questionnaires were edited, coded and tabulated for analysis. Statistical techniques used included frequency distribution, cross - tabulation, correlation and non- parametric techniques. It was determined, based on the estimated population of the targeted area, that 96 usable responses would be required to make the findings statistically projectable. This criteria was met. FINDINGS WHAT MONTH DID YOU MOVE TO COPPELL? Findings: Month Frequency Percentage JANUARY 6 6.12% FEBRUARY 10 10.20% MARCH 4 4.08% APRIL 5 5.10% MAY 8 8.16% JUNE 14 14.29% JULY 12 12.24% AUGUST 8 8.16% SEPTEMBER 7 7.14% OCTOBER 6 6.12% NOVEMBER 9 9.18% DECEMBER 9 9.18% The months of June, July and February have the most "move - in" activity during the year. As this seems to follow patterns in residential real estate, it is believed that Coppell has the highest numbers of "browsers" during the months of May, June and during the Christmas holidays. Implications: The months of April, May and June provide the best months for short-term awareness and incentive advertising to people visiting the city. WHAT WERE YOUR PRIMARY REASONS FOR MOVING TO COPPELL? Findings: Reason for Moving Responses PROXIMITY TO WORK 37 LOCATION 24 GOOD REPUTATION OF SCHOOLS 23 SMALL, QUIET 22 CLOSE TO D/FW AIRPORT 14 HOUSE AVAILABLE 13 LIKED COMMUNITY 10 FOUND HOUSE WE LIKED 10 OTHER 5 COUNTRY ATMOSPHERE 5 GROWING COMMUNITY 4 "Proximity to Work" is the primary reason that people gave for moving to Coppell (37). The general reason of "Location" was listed 24 times followed by "Good Schools" (23) and a "Small, Quiet Community" (22). "Close to D/FW Airport" appeared the same number of times as "House Available in Our Price Range ". When the reason "Proximity to Work" was cross - matched with where the heads of households jobs were located, there was no correlation with choice and the distance to their work. Implications: It appears that no matter where people work in the Metroplex they either consider Coppell "close" to work or that they have justified in their minds that the drive is worth the effort to live in Coppell. WHAT OTHER AREAS DID YOU CONSIDER? Findings: Area Considered Responses CARROLLTON 48 IRVING 27 DALLAS 20 LEWISVILLE 16 FARMER'S BRANCH 13 GRAPEVINE 13 DALLAS SURBURBS 13 HURST - EULESS - BEDFORD 6 OTHER 5 ARLINGTON /GRAND PRAIRIE 4 Carrollton, with 48 responses, was ranked first among other areas that people considered before moving to Coppell. The Irving/Las Colinas area was second (27) and Dallas/North Dallas was third with 20 responses. A middle grouping appeared with similar rankings which included the cities of Lewisville, Farmer's Branch, Grapevine and other Dallas suburbs such as Richardson and Plano. Implications: Carrollton appears to be Coppell's primary competitor when it comes to people looking for a place to live. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE COPPELL OVER THESE OTHER AREAS? The reasons that respondents gave for finally choosing Coppell in which to live were varied and included external and internal dimensions. "Proximity to Work" was again listed as the number one reason followed closely by "Small Size ". A middle grouping appeared that include such dimensions as "I Like the Quality of the Neighborhoods" (16), "Housing Was Affordable" (14), "Good Reputation of School System" (13) and "Most Home for the Value" (13). Other items of note include the contradictory statements of "I Liked the No- Growth Policy of the City" (6) and "I Thought the City was Young and Aggressive" (3). Implications: It is difficult to believe that people are choosing Coppell over other close areas, such as Carrollton, because it is closer to their job site. It is believe that the reason for choosing Coppell is a multidimensional clustering of the top ranked reasons given. Findings: Reasons Responses PROXIMITY TO WORK 22 SMALL SIZE OF TOWN 21 QUALITY NEIGBORHOOD 16 AFFORDABLE HOUSING 14 GOOD REPUTATION OF SCHOOLS 13 HOME VALUE 13 NO GROWTH ATTITUDE 6 CLEAN AND NICE COMMUNITY 5 AGGRESSIVE CITY 3 CLOSE TO D/FW AIRPORT 2 BEST RENTAL VALUE 2 One observation is that the ranking of "Good Reputation of School System" dropped in importance when the move -in decision had to be made. It is believed that in this process of choosing a location, other adjacent school districts are considered to have satisfactory school systems as well, so that this factors is not as important in the final decision. Again, note here that proximity to D/FW Airport falls even farther down the list than before and plays very little part in the decision to live in Coppell. WHERE DID YOU MOVE FROM? Findings: You will notice that the largest portion of respondents moved to Coppell from Dallas (27 %). But, surprisingly, at least that many moved to Coppell from other Dallas suburbs. Approximately 31% of the respondents moved here from other metropolitan areas both from Texas (15 %) and outside the state (16 %). Of particular interest is the fact that the vast majority of the respondents moved here from Texas (83 %). Implications: From this data it is difficult to presume that Coppell residents are moving there to escape urban life as a goodly number moved here from other suburban areas. When further analyzed, there is notcorrelation between where the respondent moved from and the reasons for choosing Coppell. City or Area Percentage DALLAS 27% OUT OF STATE 16% OTHER TEXAS CITIES 15% IRVING 13% CARROLLTON/FARMER'S BRANCH 12% MESQUITE, EAST DALLAS 7% LEWISVILLE 4% ARLINGTON /GRAND PRAIRIE 3% PLANO/RICHARDSON 2% As most people moving to Coppell are from Texas this does imply that a specific message can be tailored to potential move -ins within a reasonable promotional scope. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST EXPOSURE TO COPPELL? Findings: Source of Information Percentage FRIEND 19 REAL ESTATE AGENT 20 FAMILY 5 DROVE THROUGH AREA 23 When asked what was their first exposure to Coppell very few respondents mentioned any formal advertising or promotional effort. The primary incidents given as first exposure were: "Driving Through Area" (23 %), "A Real Estate Agent Showed Us Houses in the Area" (20 %) and "Our Friends Moved to Coppell" (19 %). When this last figure is added to "Some Family Members Moved to Coppell" this total becomes 24% and the number one reason. Of the 23% that did profess to having seen some form of promotion the only items that were significant were "Housing Advertisements in Newspaper" and "Developer's Billboards ". Implications: Word of Mouth Campaign is the most effective promotional medium that Coppell has. This is compounded by the fact that word of mouth is the most powerful promotional method that could be employed consciously or unconsciously. It is our recommendation that this situation be exploited to the fullest. WHAT FACTORS ARE IMPORTANT TO LIVING IN COPPELL? Background: Respondents were asked to evaluate on a scale from one to five ( "Not Important" to "Very Important ") how important certain factors were both when they decided to move here and now that they are residents of Coppell. This data is provided in the following tables where the Factors are ranked three ways: by Importance When Moving to Coppell, Importance After Residing in Coppell and by the relative Changes in Factor Importance. You will notice that, for the most part, factors remained in relative rankings both before and after moving to Coppell. In the last column the differences have been multiplied to provide further delineation between the factors.

This was the only factor to lose importance in the before -after questioning although the change was deemed statistically insignificant. The next factor to mentioned was "Proximity to Job" (4.24) which reinforces other information provided by the survey. Other factors which should be included in the "Somewhat Important" category include "Reputation of Schools" (3.95 and 4.13), "Proximity to Regional Shopping" (3.54 and 3.89), and "Proximity to D/FW Airport" (3.52 and 3.70). In the third table labeled "Changes in Factor Importance" you can see that, although it received many negative comments, "Local Retail" was ranked the most "improved" position. Interestingly enough, "Proximity to Regional Shopping" (.35) ranked only 7th in change which may denote that residents are somewhat contented with local mercantile offerings and do not have expectations of other shopping needs being met within the confines of Coppell. Here too, a middle group appears with factors that would be more appreciated after living here for a time. These include "Local Parks" (.68), "Community Activities" (.53), "Close to Family and Friends" (.51) and access to a "Golf Course" (unidentified) (.47). DO YOU TEND TO PURCHASE GOODS AND SERVICES IN OR OUT OF COPPELL? Findings: Item GROCERIES HARDWARE GIFTS PET SUPPLY AUTO SUPPLY HEALTH CARE BANKING DENTIST SPORT GOODS TRAVEL ATTY CPA Percent Responding 99% 81% 69% 62% 57% 54% 52% 50% 44% 27% 19% 13% Spending Median 95% 20% 20% 100% 25% 50% 100% 100% 10% 90% 100% 100% Respondents were asked to list the amount of money spent on certain goods and services, both from Coppell merchants and others. Of these percentages a spending median was computed which provided an insight in the consumer dollar spent in the city limits of Coppell. Almost all of the respondents (99 %) mentioned that they purchased approximately 95% of their groceries at one of the two groceries stores in Coppell. (Of the handwritten comments Skaggs -Alpha Beta was the most commonly mentioned.) The second commonly purchased items were "Hardware" (81%), but only one -fifth of the hardware dollar staying in Coppell. Of the items where the dollar were, for the most part, completely spent in Coppell "Pet Supplies" (62 %), "Banking" (52 %), "Dental Services" (50 %), "Legal Services" (19 %) and "Accounting/Bookkeeping Services" with only 13% of the respondents stating they used such services.

They are generally enthusiastic about Coppell and are tolerant of its identified weaknesses. Recommendations: These recommendations are based on the current resources available to the Economic Development Board, the city staff, and/or local business and civic associations. From the results of this study we now know what is uniquely Coppell and what is important to people when they choose to live here. This critical data is now available for creative processing for the promotional campaign. One message that was repeatedly reinforced by the findings of this study was that the wonderfulness of Coppell must be a proximal experienced and it is imperative that we increase the number of people coming to Coppell. There are several tactics which can achieve this. The most active promotional channel that is currently being utilized is a very positive word -of -mouth campaign by the residents of Coppell. It is imperative that this enthusiasm campaign be encouraged and motivated. For not only is this technique the least expensive, but it is the most effective method for influencing buying decisions. Under the present resources, this should be the primary focus of the short-tenn promotional campaign. We do not need to tell people that it is a neat place to live, but we need to remind them why. To this end it is suggested that a two- faceted multi -media program be developed that can presented to the various potential audiences including Coppell residents (PTA's, churchs, open City Council meetings, local business groups, etc.) as well as external groups such as area real estate brokers, potential developers and firms considering relocation. This program should provide information on the profile of Coppell and its residents and fully express the desirability to locate to Coppell. With the production of such a program, the Coppell message needs to be taken to Metroplex groups outside of Coppell that have been targeted for mutual interest. These include the realtor organizations, developers, business groups, and certain trade associations and conferences. Coppell needs to name an individual that can assume these evangelical duties on a part -time basis. They should be a good speaker, possess a positive conviction concerning the message of Coppell and be available during business and non - business hours. A goodly number of respondent's first exposure to Coppell was driving through the city (reasons included: on the way to airport, family outing, lost off 1 -35). This accomplishes two things, it does provide the initial exposure, but it also reinforces to the observer many of the criteria that have been deemed important such as cleanliness, quiet neighborhoods, available housing, green areas, etc. It is suggested that an unmanned Information kiosk be erected for the purpose of providing information to people that do drive through Coppell especially during non - business hours. This kiosk should include a graphic map, "Guide to Coppell" brochure and additional information from other sources such as local merchants, the school district, etc. The design for such a facility should be discussed, but it should be weather - protected, well- lighted and located on a main thoroughfare such as at the comer of Sandy Lake Road and Denton Tap. It is also suggested that portions of this report be reproduced using inexpensive desktop - publishing techniques to be made available for potential developers or companies considering relocating to Coppell. This should be done as soon as possible. A "Guide to Coppell" brochure should be produced which conveys many of the important factors discovered here. This should be an informative piece which creatively communicates the significant dimensions of Coppell life. This might include a suggested "17 mile" drive to see special points of interest within Coppell such as Town Hall, the new mall, beautiful homes, etc. It is suggested that a pavilion be built that can host indoor /outdoor parties for large numbers of people (100 - 400). This pavilion should be erected on a plot of land with a wonderful view of Coppell and should be representative of the lifestyle of Coppell. The pavilion should be available for residents to rent at a nominal fee for the entertainment of their guests. If possible this could be adjacent to the public swimming pool which should also be made available for after hours rental. It is proposed that Coppell also produce an annual event that can focus attention on the town and the lifestyle that the residents enjoy. The event should accomplish the following: deliver many people into the city limits of Coppell to visit, attract the target market that would consider moving to Coppell, and should provide opportunity for regional press coverage. Such events might include the Coppell 10 -K Run, hosting the corporate olympics, triathalon competition, etc. Cultural events include a gala fund- raising ball, outdoor art exhibits or creation of a summer stock theater program. (We are aware of a current program that is produced annually, but its purpose is not directed toward the above objectives.) A co- operative advertising program should be set up with builders and developers in Coppell in an effort to advance several issues. One would be to insure that Coppell is mentioned frequently and prominently in all appropriate advertising. It might be that Coppell could participate directly in supporting key promotional efforts of certain projects such as billboards on Interstate 35 or 635 or display ads in major newspapers. An active and constant public and press relations program should be initiated that formalizes and focuses attention on the variety of events and news that occurs or is related to Coppell and its residents. This would require the services of a professional publicist on a part -time basis. It is possible that a talented resident could step forward and initiate this program. It is suggested that experience and talent not be replaced by a convenient volunteer. With an emphasis on stimulating word -of -mouth and increasing press coverage of Coppell, certain advertising will still be required to enhance these efforts. It is believed that the production of a strong "Guide to Coppell" should be the first investment in paid promotion with attention going to encourage co -op programs with other parties interested in Coppell. Of primary effectiveness would be billboard exposure along major peripheral arteries that direct drivers to Coppell Of key note is the information provided by the study defines a large part of the target audience as within the confines of the Dallas -Ft. Worth Metroplex. This creates an opportunity for very effective and efficient promotion effort for the identifiable window of 24 months.
