RE: Economic Development Strategic Plan
The Economic Development Committee presented their Strategic Plan to City Council in
2005. That plan had three goals: Business Attraction, Business Retention and Old
Coppell. Since that time, City Council has adopted a new Strategic Plan and a new
Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City; therefore, the Economic Development
Committee felt like it was time to update their Strategic Plan to better reflect the desires
of the community and the tasks for the committee.
The committee utilized sub-committees to create the new Strategic Plan. The new goals
include Business Attraction, Business Retention & Expansion, Redevelopment and
Customer Satisfaction. The committee will be aggressive and creative in their approach
to accomplishing the goals before them, and the new Strategic Plan will help set the
framework for them moving forward.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Coppell, Texas is home to 38,659 residents and over 500 businesses.
Located in northwest Dallas County, Coppell is 5 miles from the Dallas-Ft. Worth
International Airport and 15 miles from Dallas Love Field Airport. Coppell is
surrounded by major regional roadways such as I.H. 635, I.H. 35, Highway 161 and the
S.H. 114/121 corridor. Coppell is in a dynamic growth area with a region encompassing
nine counties and spanning 100 miles with a population of over 6 million people.
Coppell’s prime location and easy access by land or air helps keep the City’s rich history
that was built around transportation alive today.
Coppell encompasses 14.7 square miles, but Coppell is almost fully developed with less
than 800 acres for new commercial development and less than 30 acres for new
residential development. The City of Coppell is committed to preserving the integrity of
residential and commercial areas in the City by enhancing the quality of life and
investment in Coppell. The City wants to ensure that the high standard of living present
in Coppell today will be maintained in the future. The City is dedicated to providing the
best programs and services, ensuring financial stability, sustaining the City’s
infrastructure, maintaining neighborhoods, supporting the business community and
promoting all elements that make up a desirable community like Coppell. All measures
being taken today are designed to help provide the best community where residents can
live, work and play for a lifetime.
Coppell completed a strategic visioning process in 2009, and the Coppell Vision 2030
Plan was adopted by City Council to serve as the vision and roadmap that will guide
Coppell into the future. This unique plan provides strategies to capitalize on future
opportunities and challenges that Coppell will face as a growing community in a
changing world. The potential opportunities and challenges will include managing both
new development and possible redevelopment throughout the community.
The City is now taking steps and creating plans with concepts that incorporate the goals
and initiatives that were identified during the visioning process. Revitalizing
neighborhoods was one of the goals specifically identified in the Coppell Vision 2030
Plan. A new Comprehensive Land Use plan was recently developed to help spur
revitalization projects in areas of need to ensure commercial neighborhoods and
properties maintain their value.
The goal for Economic Development is to aid in the process of keeping Coppell a
destination of choice for residents and businesses alike. We are creating this strategic
plan to help guide our efforts and focus our attention on the tasks ahead.

Reference: National Night Out Award
The City of Coppell's 20th Anniversary of National Night Out 2011 was awarded First Place in
our population category by the National Association of Town Watch. This makes Coppell #1 in
the Nation and in Texas. This is the 3rd time Coppell has won the top spot in the last six years
and the 6th straight year we have been #1 in Texas. This is also the 20th straight year the City
has won a national award.
According to the National Association of Town Watch, the 28th Annual National Night Out
involved 37.1 million people in 15,325 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories and

the Coppell Police Department coordinates this annual events, without the support of all city
departments, city council, and numerous volunteer organizations, the National Night Out
program does not happen.
This is truly a community award and the Coppell Police Department is proud on accept the

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 24, 2012
To: Mayor and Council
From: Jennifer Miller, Director of Finance
Via: Clay Phillips, City Manager
Subject: Fee Resolution
Explanation of proposed fee changes:
1. Public Pool or Spa fees – This Public Pool or Spa Permit fee is being increased to reflect the same fee
for the swimming pool that was recently established for Public Interactive Water Features. A plan
review fee has also been added for Swimming Pools, Spas and Public Interactive Water Features. The
permit fees for pools and spas have been $100.00 since the ordinance was written in 1997. Since then,
the number of pools and spas has increased from 17 to 46. Pools and spas are inspected a minimum of
once a month during the swimming season to help reduce the risk to the public for water-related
adverse health events such as injuries, drowning, and recreational water illnesses like
cryptosporidiosis. All plan review fees for new and extensively remodeled food establishments, pools, spas
and public interactive water features are $100.00.
2. Zoning Fees – This is only a correction of the zoning fees. When the zoning fees were changed in
September 2011, these two fees were put into the resolution incorrectly.
3. Food Establishments - The frequency of inspections is based on each establishment's potential "risk."
High priority establishments are allocated more inspection time than those with a lower priority.
"Risk, or priority" is determined by analyzing the types of food served, the preparation steps these
foods require, the volume of food, the populations served, and previous compliance history. This
system allows for inspections to be prioritized so more inspections will be conducted in those facilities
that have the greatest risk to the public for foodborne illnesses. Of the 156 food establishments that are
inspected, 60 will be considered a “High Priority Food Establishment.” A fee increase is necessary to
compensate for the increased inspection frequency, additional time spent in the establishment, and
onsite compliance of critical violations.
Mobile food vending fees have also been increased, as they also reflect high, medium and low priority.
A fee increase is necessary to compensate for increased inspection frequency, and the significant time
spent patrolling the streets looking for these vendors to conduct inspections.
The plan review fee for new and extensively remodeled establishments signifies the amount of time
spent reviewing plans. Correcting a deficiency after the establishment has been buil t or remodeled is
costly and difficult. A detailed plan review reduces the potential for mistakes.
4. Engineering Fees – Street Light Fee – This fee was changed in September 2011 to reflect the cost that
was being charged to the City by Oncor Electric. While the City was revising the fee, Oncor was also
revising their fee. By changing the resolution to reference the section of the delivery system charges,
this will allow the City to adapt immediately to any change in fees by Oncor. This is a pass through
charge to the developers.
5. Garbage Collection Fees – The Solid Waste contract with Waste Management provides for an annual
adjustment based upon the DFW Consumer Price Index (CPI) less energy, in 2011, and also includes
an adjustment based upon diesel fuel prices for the period of November 2010 through October 2011.
The CPI is a positive 2%. Diesel prices for the aforementioned period did not exceed $4.25 per gallon
at the end of this period, therefore, no fuel adjustment is due for the coming year.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
VIA: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering/Public Works
FROM: Glenn D. Hollowell, P.E., Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: January 24, 2012
REF: Consider approval of the procurement of a replacement sewer camera van
equipped with the CUES truck body and equipment in the amount of
$149,524.92 through an Interlocal Agreement with the Houston-Galveston Area
Council; as budgeted; and authorizing the City Manager to sign and execute
any necessary documents.
Fiscal Year 2011-12 budget allows for the replacement of the 1993 Sewer Camera Van and
associated equipment in the Utility Operations Division. We have inspected and evaluated two
different manufacturers of sewer camera vans. Based upon our evaluations, we have decided to
recommend the purchase of a new CUES Sewer Camera Van. This purchase will be broken into two
purchase orders. The first purchase order is for the purchase of the truck chassis in the amount of
$24,195.00 which includes an HGAC administrative fee of $600.00. The second purchase order is
for the CUES truck body and equipment in the amount of $125,329.92 which includes an HGAC
administrative fee of $1,876.92. The total price for the complete Sewer Camera truck will be
$149,524.92.
This truck and equipment is used to inspect the interior of sewer lines using closed circuit
television. The camera transports itself down the inside of the active sewer line and transmits the
video back to a television inside the truck. This enables us to view groundwater infiltration, pipe
failures, joint misalignments, lateral connections, root growth inside the pipe, grease build up and
other possible problems. The cameras have locators built into them which enable us to pinpoint the
exact location of a problem. In addition, we are able to record the video using a DVD recorder in
the truck. This truck and equipment can be used to televise and detect problems in storm water
pipes as well.
This replacement truck will meet or exceed the requirements in our Clean Fleet Ordinance and is
under the budgeted amount for replacement. Utility Operations has worked closely with the Fleet
Manager on the evaluation of this truck. Utility Operations recommends the procurement of this
truck and respectfully requests your approval to proceed with this purchase.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
Date: January 24, 2012
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Brad Reid, Director
Re: Consider approval of a Grant Agreement with Kid Country Playground
Association, for design and development of the new Kid Country Playground,
located in Andrew Brown Park East, and authorizing the Mayor to sign
Background:
The Coppell Kid Country Playground Association is underway with projects,
volunteerism and fundraising efforts related to the replacement of Kid Country
Playground. The Association has now filed for and been granted 501 (c) 3 status, they
have worked through the full design process with the community as facilitated by
Leathers Associates, worked on fundraising efforts and gathered a core group of leaders
to forge a new playground. The group is now requesting the city use budgeted funds to
pay for an invoice from Leathers Associates for design services related to the new
playground. This payment will be a pass-through from the city to the Kid Country
Playground Association, who will then issue payment to Leathers.
The attached Agreement stipulates the conditions of this transaction. In essence, these
funds are to be used only for payment of the invoice from Leathers Associates, with proof
of said payment required within ten business days of the payment being made. Should
the Leathers invoice not be paid, the funds shall be returned to the city.
The total costs for Leathers’ services for the new playground will be $49,870.00,
according to the proposal accepted by Coppell Kid Country Playground Association in
June 2011. Payments have already been made to Leathers Associates from donated funds
accumulated by the Association. The payment requested here is for Design Development
which includes detailed drawings, materials list and project management services for a
total invoice of $24,000.00.
Representatives from the Coppell Kid Country Playground Association will attend the
meeting to address specific questions about this request and the status of the project.
City Council Action requested:
Consideration of approval of an Agreement with Kid Country Playground Association
whereby the city will pay for Leathers Associates design services in the amount of
$24,000.00.
Staff Recommendation:
Approval of this item.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering/Public Works
DATE: January 24, 2012
REF: Consider approval of an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Coppell and
the North Central Texas Council of Governments for a Cooperative Program
for Service Line Protection Programs; and authorizing the Mayor to sign and
execute any necessary documents.
In January 2011, the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) adopted a shared
services agreement with Utility Services Partners, Inc. to allow member cities of NCTCOG to
participate through an Interlocal Agreement with USP, Inc. in a Service Line Warranty Program.
Participation in the program is both voluntary by the City and voluntary by the residents within the
City. The essence of the program is that once the citizen agrees to participate in the program, they
pay a monthly fee to USP, Inc. to cover any unforeseen repairs to their private water and sanitary
sewer service lines. The limit of the coverage is from the service line’s connection to the City’s
main up to the foundation of the house. The coverage provided by USP, Inc. does not include any
repairs or damage caused by water or sewer problems beneath the foundation of the house.
NCTCOG issued an RFQ in late 2010 and selected USP, Inc. from among four utility line
providers. USP, Inc. is endorsed by the National League of Cities as a National League of Cities
Enterprise program coordinator. If the City Council approves the Interlocal Agreement with
NCTCOG, then the City will execute a contract with USP, Inc. A typical agreement with USP, Inc.
covers items such as a non-exclusive license use of the City’s name and logo on letterhead and
marketing materials, a payment to the City of a percentage of the revenue from USP’s warranty
subscriptions, the term of the agreement (typically one year), termination notices and indemnity
clauses.
Once the agreement is signed with USP, Inc., they will begin to recruit and contact local contractors
to be the service provider of the warranty protection program. Any contractor selected by USP, Inc.
will need to follow all rules and regulations of the City of Coppell and be a registered contractor
with the City of Coppell. Initially USP, Inc. will look to the City to provide a list of qualified
contractors. Once the service is initiated, users of the warranty service will call a toll free number
to register a claim. At that time, a claim work order is created and dispatched to a local contractor
2
closest to the service address. The contractor contacts the resident within one hour and typically
completes the repair within 48 hours. If the resident is utilizing the warranty protection service,
then there is no additional out of pocket or deductibles for any covered claim. The contractors are
paid directly by USP, Inc.
In reviewing the information on USP, Inc., it was noted that less than 2% of claims are rejected.
USP, Inc. does have a fairly informative website that can be found at: http://www.utilitysp.net. On
that website they have: frequently asked questions; an overview of the program; and a video that
further explains how the program operates. There is also a case study and additional information
about the company.
If the City approves the Interlocal Agreement with NCTCOG and approves the agreement contract
with USP, Inc., then the City will provide our City logo artwork, the name and title of a designated
signor plus the signature to be reproduced, and a City address for the outer envelope. USP, Inc. will
then prepare a letter to go to the residents of the City of Coppell. It will be approved by the City, be
on City letterhead and include the signature of the designated signor of the City of Coppell.
While this is a program provided by USP, Inc., they have found through their marketing efforts that
an invitation to participate on City letterhead, with an official City signature, increases participation
in the program.
From the 30,000 foot level, this program allows residents to basically obtain “insurance” on their
water and sanitary sewer service lines from the city main to their foundation. That said, any repairs
needed would be covered by a third party at no additional cost to the residents other than the small
monthly fee. This program has been implemented in other cities, both locally and nationally, as a
benefit to the residents.
Staff recommends approval of the Interlocal Agreement with NCTCOG to start the process of
entering into an agreement with USP, Inc. to provide Service Line Protection on private water and
sanitary sewer service lines and authorizing the Mayor to sign the Interlocal Agreement and execute
any other documents necessary to move the project forward.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The NLC Service Line Warranty program is designed to assist cities in
providing their residents with protection against the high cost of
broken or leaking external water and sewer lines on their property.
The NLC Service Line Warranty Program (administered by Utility
Service Partners, Inc. (“USP”) provides affordable service line
warranties to homeowners with 24 hour/7 day a week service.
BACKGROUND
NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF
GOVERNMENTS SHARED SERVICES AGREEMENT
In response to local entities’ interest in a service line warranty
program, NCTCOG issued a RFQ among four leading utility line
providers. The review committee, comprised of five NCTCOG member
cities representing various populations within our region, unanimously
selected Utility Service Partners (USP) as the preferred service provider.
On Januar y, 27th 2011, the NCTGOG Board voted to adopt a shared
ser vices agreement with USP to allow member cities to participate
through an interlocal agreement. Participation by each city is
strictly voluntary.
NLC SERVICE LINE WARRANTY PROGRAM
Last fall, USP teamed with the National League of Cities (NLC) to
create the NLC Ser vice Line Warranty Program. USP has been
endorsed by NLC as a NLC Enterprise Program partner.
“We believe the NLC Service Line Warranty Program provides a unique
service to cities and residents, combining an efficient solution for
homeowners while providing a source of additional income for cities.
USP has a proven track record of customer satisfaction and we are
delighted to be working with them,” added Donald J. Borut, Executive
Director of the National League of Cities.
How long has Utility Ser vice Partners been in business?
The company was originally formed in 1998 within Columbia Energy
to provide service line warranties for its utility customers. USP was
formed in September 2003 to purchase Columbia Ser vice Partners
from Columbia Energy. USP continues to expand the product offerings
and grow the business through city and utility partnerships. USP is a
member of the Better Business Bureau.
PROGRAM
How can my city access the program?
Because NCTCOG has legally procured this service, your city only
needs to approve an Interlocal Agreement with NCTCOG. Start up is
simple and requires very little of your city employees’ valuable time.
You simply need to take the following steps:
1.Execute a one page contract provided by USP
2.Approve the recommended press release (this is designed as a
general notice to reduce resident confusion and calls to the city
with questions)
3.Approve the campaign letter provided by the USP Marketing team
4.Access monthly reports via the web
How are our citizens notified of the program?
USP mails each resident a campaign letter which outlines the cities’
support, followed by a reminder letter two weeks later to ensure the
highest response rate. USP only solicits through direct mail — no
telemarketing is ever employed. All homeowners will have the option
to enroll in the program, regardless of the age of their residence.
What cooperation will be needed from the cities?
USP desires to enter into a co-branded marketing services agreement
with each city. The agreement provides for the use of the city
name/logo, in conjunction with USP’s logo, on marketing materials
sent to citizens. The city is supporting the NLC Service Line Warranty
Program provided by USP.
When do you solicit residents?
Through the years, USP has found the optimal times to invite citizens to
participate are in the Spring and Fall of each year.
Does NLC or USP sell or rent the personal
information of residents that enroll in the program?
No. Neither the NLC nor USP will sell or rent the names of prospective
customers or participants.
How much does the resident pay for this service?
Each warranty is sold separately and the price range is generally
between $4 and $5 a month per product.
BENEFITS
How much will residents save by using the warranty
program?
While costs for water line and sewer line repairs can var y, the
average cost of repairing a broken water line or sewer line may range
from $1,200 to over $3,500.
Will this program cost the city any money?
No. USP pays for all marketing materials and program administration.
Furthermore, USP will provide remuneration to the city for every
resident that participates in the program.
What benefit does the city receive from supporting these
programs?
By supporting the NLC Service Line Warranty Program, the city is able
to reduce resident’s frustration over utility line failures by bringing them
low-cost service options. According to USP, 96% of sur vey respondents
say that their image of the city is enhanced because the warranty
program is offered as a ser vice by the city. These programs also
generate extra revenue for the city through the payment by USP to the
city. USP only uses local contractors to complete the repairs which
helps to keep the dollars in the local community.

A National League of Cities Enterprise Program FAQ ’s
RESPONSIBILITIES
Who administers the program?
Utility Service Partners (USP) administers the program and is
responsible for all aspects of the program including marketing, billing,
customer ser vice, and performing all repairs to local code.
What are the city’s responsibilities?
We ask each city to work with USP to provide the following; 1) a copy
of the city seal/logo, if available, for the solicitation letterhead 2) the
city’s return address for outer envelope (this ensures a high “open-rate”)
3) the name, title and signature sample of the designated solicitation
signor and 4) the appropriate zip codes of the city to allow USP to
purchase a mailing list of the residents.
Why does the city have to provide a city seal, address
and signature?
USP has found that while the letter is written in such a manner as to
leave no doubt that it is a USP program (the USP logo is on the
enrollment form), the city address drives a ver y high “open-rate” and
the city seal/logo and signature lend credibility to the offer, thus
driving a much higher enrollment rate.
Will we get a lot of calls from citizens when they get
the letter?
A press release provided by USP and issued prior to the first mailing will
help alleviate citizen concerns, which should result in nominal calls to
city hall.
PRODUCTS
How will citizens know what is covered?
All customers receive a set of terms and conditions upon
enrollment in a utility warranty program. They have 30 days
from the date of enrollment to cancel and receive a full refund.
What items are included as part of the water line warranty?
The external water warranty covers the underground ser vice line from
the point of connection to the city main line to the water meter. It also
covers the underground ser vice line between the water meter and the
exterior foundation of the home. If any part of the line is broken and
leaking, USP will repair or replace the line in order to restore the
service. Coverage caps listed in the terms & conditions are per
occurrence as follows:
$4,000 plus an additional $500 for public sidewalk cutting,
if necessary
What items are included as part of the sewer line warranty?
The external sewer line warranty covers the underground ser vice line
from the point of connection to the city main line to the point of entr y
to the home. If any part of the line is broken and leaking, USP will
repair or replace the line in order to restore the service. Coverage
caps listed in the terms & conditions are per occurrence as follows:
$4,000 plus an additional $4,000 for public street cutting,
if necessary
The Coverage Cap looks adequate but is there an annual
or lifetime restriction on how much you will pay to repair?
No. Unlike some other warranties available, we provide you with the full
coverage per incident. We will pay up to your coverage amount each
and every time you need us. We do not deduct prior repair expense from
your coverage cap or limit the amount we will pay annually.
Doesn’t Homeowner’s Insurance cover this type of repair?
Typically, no. Most homeowner policies will pay to repair the damage
created by failed utility lines but they generally do not pay to repair the
actual broken pipes or lines. We encourage you to call your insurance
company to determine your actual coverage.
Is soil movement due to ground shifting covered?
Yes, ground shifting is one of the major causes for water line breaks.
If the line is broken and leaking, the repair is covered under
the warranty.
Who replaces landscaping if damaged?
USP will provide basic restoration to the site. This includes filling in the
holes, mounding the trench (to allow for settling) and raking and
seeding the affected area. Restoration does not include replacing trees
or shrubs or repairing private paved/concrete surfaces. This is
outlined in the terms & conditions sent to the customer.
What building codes will you adhere to?
If the line is broken and leaking, USP will repair or replace the leaking
portion of the line according to the current code. However, USP is not
responsible for bringing working lines up to code that are not in need
of repair.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Will a citizen have a long hold time when reporting a claim?
No. Repair calls receive the highest priority and are answered 24/7.
Repair calls are connected to a live agent through a voice recognition
unit (VRU).
Will the customer always get a live operator when they call?
Yes. Customers are directed to select to speak with either a ser vice or
claims agent and will then be directed to a live Agent.
What is the claims process?
Program participants call a toll-free USP number to file a claim.
USP selects the contractor, who is required to contact the customer
within one hour of receiving the job to schedule a time to begin the
repairs. Typically, repairs are completed within 24 hours. Emergencies
receive priority handling.
CONTRACTORS
Who performs the repair work?
USP retains local, professional plumbers to perform all the service line
repair work.
How selective are you when choosing contractors to
conduct repairs?
USP only selects contractors who share our commitment to excellence
in customer service. Scorecards are maintained for each contractor,
tracking the customer satisfaction rating for work performed. Customer
feedback is shared with our contractors and any contractor with a low
customer satisfaction rating is removed from the network.
