MINUTES.
The Coppell Economic Development Partnership met at 7:00 p.m. on
Wednesday, July 7, 1999 at Coppell Town Center, 2nd Floor
Conference Room, 255 Parkway Boulevard, Coppell, Texas 75019. The
following were present: Tim Brancheau, Scarlett Hovland, Robert
Key, Isabelle Moro, Pat Murphy, Bill Rohloff, and Gary Sieb.
1. Call to Order
Chairman Bill Rohloff called the meeting to order at 7:15 p.m.
2. Approval of Minutes
The minutes of the May 5th meeting could not be approved
because of a lack of a quorum.
3. Update by Scott Williams in regards to the Freeport Tax
Exemption
Mr. Scott Williams a private consultant with Rail Properties
Group, representing the landowners and developers of several
industrial parks, shared information on companies located in
CISD boundaries that filed for Freeport Exemption in 1999 with
the Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD). Mr. Williams
said that 31 companies filed for Freeport Exemption and only
10 remained unapproved as of the date of the July 7th report.
Mr. Williams provided handouts showing comparison of approved
to date total value of Freeport Exemption to Moak & Associates
Estimates. The 1 -year revenue loss for CISD showed to be
$1,335,846.00 and a 5 -year loss at $2,000,000-00. Mr.
Williams explained that amount could increase based on the
number of additional companies being approved for Freeport
Exemption. The DCAD will have a complete report of approved
Freeport exemptions by July 25th, the last date to establish
the Certified Tax Rolls. Mr. Chad Beach, Assistant Finance
Director for the City of Coppell will contact Mr. Lynn Moak,
(Moak & Associates) and Mr. Leon Johnson (Southwest
Securities) with the final approved exemptions from DCAD. A
letter addressed to the 31 companies that applied for the
Freeport Exemption notifying them of the cooperative
investigation effort by the Coppell community was reviewed and
signed by Bill Rohloff. After the letters have been mailed
and received by the respective companies, Mr. Williams will
schedule a joint meeting with the top 10 - 15 companies to
explain the possible implications of a Freeport exemption and
secure a general buy -in on the fundraising effort.
P
Mr. Williams explained to the Partnership that by the end of
July he hoped to have a report on the impact Freeport
exemptions will have on CISD revenues from Moak & Associates
and will be made available for review by Southwest Securities.
After the review, a meeting with CISD officials will be
scheduled to discuss the implementation of a resolution
adopting Freeport Exemption. Discussion followed. Overall,
there is a positive and encouraging reaction from the
developers and the CISD to continue moving forward with the
Freeport Investigation.
4. Update on Current Commercial and Industrial Projects
Isabelle Moro gave an update on several projects.
McCollister's Moving & Storage located at 1303 Crestside Drive
is adding 26,000 sq. ft. to their 63,000 sq. ft. building.
The addition will include 21 additional truck docks. An 8 ft.
screen wall will be constructed to screen the docks. The
special use permit for Rollins Leasing Corp., to be located at
the south side of Wrangler, between Crestside and Lakeshore
Drives, was approved by the P & Z Commission, but denied by
the City Council. IAAM Headquarters, located at the south
side of Fritz Drive, along the north side of I. H. 635 was on
the City Council Agenda for consideration on May 11th. A site
plan for an 8,000 sq. ft. office building located at the
Southeast corner of Denton Tap Road and Bethel Road went
before City Council for consideration in July:
5. General Discussion and Other Business
Mr. Bill Rohloff reminded the Partnership that an application
for reappointment to the committee needed to be filled out to

the meeting adjourned at 8:00.
Respectfully submitted,
