1. Call to Order
Chairman Bronwyn Brock called the meeting to order at 7:15 p.m.
2. Approval of Minutes
Minutes of January 1996 meeting were approved.
5. Note: Agenda item 5. was moved to the front since there were invited guests ready
to give their presentation regarding the possibility of offering qualifying industries
a sales tax rebate.
Guest Presentation: A presentation was given by Mr. Bob Hughey and Mr. Ron
Walden, from Land Development Services, on sales tax rebates on behalf of Quill
Corporation. A period of questions and answers followed.
After Mr. Hughey and Mr. Walden left the meeting, there was lengthy discussion
about sales tax rebates. City manager, Jim Witt offered to generate some scenarios
for specific industries with a sales tax rebate for Partnership members to review at the
next meeting. In the meantime, there was general consensus among the group for Jim
Witt to say no deal, unless it becomes apparent that Coppell could lose Quill. Then
he should find out what the "magic" number really is.
3. Presentation of Direct Marketing Pieces and Distribution
Bill Herries brought samples of the direct mailing pieces ready to go. 40 each of the
duck calls and the battery jumper cables are to be mailed to a select target group. 25
of each piece will be kept to use as needed. Since these items were covered in last
year's budget, Mr. Heroes asked for permission to begin work on the 3rd mailing
piece. John Mark handed out a draft of the mailing list for the committee's review.
Dixon Rich had some additions. After some discussion, it was decided to send one
piece to a select group and second piece to a different group. Also, Bill Herries was
given approval to begin work on some prototype concepts for the third piece and
bring back to the group.
4. Update on Aerial Map and Pocket Folder Inserts
Bill Heroes gave an update on the aerial map and pocket folder inserts. After some
discussion, it was agreed that 1000 aerial maps would be ordered from Slocum
Printing at a cost of $3,022.00. Also approved was the expenditure of $1,250 to
Dallas Aerial Surveys for map work and graphics. In addition, 1500 each of the
pocket folder insert pages which need to be changed will be ordered at a cost of
$1,500 for each insert.
The question was raised whether the zoning map insert should be updated which
would cost an additional $400 - $500. All agreed.
Dixon Rich suggested that we send out a quarterly information piece to the brokers
and developers who are "in the Coppell trenches" every day. Perhaps we could get
the developers to chip in half the cost for the printing/mailing. This would include a
stat sheet on the sites that are available and the developer contacts. After some
discussion, Chairman Brock asked that this idea be brought back at the next meeting.
6. Current Industrial/Commercdial Projects
Gary Sieb, Director of Planning, gave the Partnership an update on various
development projects: Haverty's, Central Garden, Fritz Companies, and Quill
Corporation.
7. Other Business
The Park N Fly billboard is up and looks great.
John Mark asked the committee if there was any interest in taking out an ad in the
Miss Texas Pageant program. Miss Coppell is a Coppell resident and has asked for
community support. There was general consensus not to participate as a committee.
With no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at approximately 8:45 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Kathleen Roach

Change #1
AGGRESSIVE TAX ABATEMENT POLICY
Coppell has targeted several specific types of businesses that are ideally compatible
with the future development plans of the community. To help make Coppell more
attractive to those targeted businesses, Coppell offers an aggressive tax abatement
policy that helps offset the cost of relocation. The policy provides for a variable
abatement rate based on the investment in the community.
(Suggest that the Tax Abatement Policy and the Freeport Tax Exemption paragraphs be
moved to the end of the sequence since they have a limited application. The Flexible
Permitting Process and the Pro -Business City Council paragraphs apply to all businesses
moving to Coppell).
Example of order:
1. PRO-BUSINESS CITY COUNCIL
2. EXPEDITIOUS PERMITTING POLICY
The City of Coppell will endeavor to assist all companies making a major investment in the
community by expediting the procedure for obtaining permits.
3. AGGRESSIVE TAX ABATEMENT POLICY
4. FREEPORT TAX EXEMPTION
5. DEVELOPMENT FEE REBATE POLICY
The City of Coppell considers the rebate of companies development fees on a case-by-case
basis.
6. INFRASTRUCTURE COST PARTICIPATING POLICY
The City of Coppell considers participating in companies' infrastructure cost on a case-by-
case basis.
