BM 1996-06-05 EcDevCOPPELL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP June 5, 19% The Coppell Economic Development Partnership met at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 5, 1996, at Coppell Town Center, 255 Parkway Boulevard, Coppell, Texas 75019. The following members were present: Bronwyn Brock, Chairperson, Jim Dippold, Ron Pankey, Tim Brancheau, Bill Herries, Dave Greer, Gary Sieb, Isabelle Moro, Bill Stearman, Mary Ann Kellam, Jim Witt, Chuck Sturges. 1. Call to Order Chairman Bronwyn Brock called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m. 2. Approval of Minutes Minutes of May 1, 1996 were approved. 3. Update on CommerciaVIndustrial Development Gary Sieb apprised the Committee of a possible sales tax reduction application, similar to the one granted to Quill, which may be submitted by Haverty's, According to Sieb, Haverty's is exploring the idea of requesting a 75% sales tax reduction. After considerable discussion involving a number of concerns, including the fact that Quill was granted a fixed $50,000 credit for each of five years provided that at least $150,000 in tax was generated in each of those years; the observation that the information submitted thus far from Haverty's does not appear to reflect the Quill principle; the fact that the Quill tax reduction applied only to those sales generated outside the local community; a concern with the whole concept of a percentage reduction in taxes versus a finite number, led the Partnership to take a cautious view of this potential proposal. They commented that Haverty's needed to address potential sales tax credit in a fashion similar to Quill. It was felt that once Haverty's addressed the Partnership concerns, more definitive action might be warranted, depending on the results of a more detailed study. Gary informed the Committee that Isabelle Moro has undertaken a project which outlines some of the more important demographic data within the community, as well as a summary sheet which identifies all the reinvestment zones in the City. A draft of Isabelle's documents was distributed to all present. 4. Update on Terminating the Economic Development Service Contract Bill Stearman made a motion to table this item, and Dave Greer seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. 5. Determine Point of Contact Until further notice, the City address and telephone number will be used as the point of contact for future materials. Tim Brancheau motioned that an RFQ be prepared by the City Manager, with input from the Partnership, to determine the direction to proceed regarding a part-time Economic Development Coordinator. Bill Stearman seconded and the motion carried favorably. 6. Status on Conceptual Idea for Third Prototype of Direct Mailing Piece Bill Heroes submitted a mock-up of the proposed third marketing piece, "Birth of a Star." He indicated 65 copies of the proposal would be produced emphasizing a theme of new horizon opportunities for Coppell as new industrial users contemplate locating to the City. It will cost approximately $5,000 to produce this piece. After some discussion regarding the cost figures, it was pointed out that an equal sum was spent on the first two marketing endeavors, the jumper cables and the duck call. Tim Brancheau made the motion that the third marketing piece be produced. Ron Pankey seconded the motion and it passed with all in favor except Bill Stearman, who was opposed to the expenditure. 7. Executive Session (This item was earlier moved to end of the docket.) The designated members of the Partnership adjourned into Executive Session at 7:50 p.m. to discuss personnel matters as accorded by Texas Government Code, Section 551074. 8. Reconvene Regular Session At 8:35 p.m., the Partnership reconvened into Regular Session. As a result of the Executive Session, Tim Brancheau made the motion to take the action as outlined in Item #5 above. The motion was seconded by Bill Stearman and the motion passed favorably. With no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at approximately 8:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kathleen Roach minjune.605 COPPELL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP June 5, 19% MINUTES The Coppell Economic Development Partnership met at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 5, 1996, at Coppell Town Center, 255 Parkway Boulevard, Coppell, Texas 75019.
