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,
