From: Mindi Hurley, Economic Development Coordinator
RE: Council Goals – Economic Incentives
The current Tax Abatement Application was created at a time when Coppell had a vast
amount of vacant land that was ripe for development. The incentives offered were
relevant, competitive and applicable for the time and for the stage of development that
Coppell was in. Meeting the required minimum thresholds was difficult but not
unreasonable for build-to-suit projects and/or speculative buildings being built at that
time. The City offered aggressive incentive packages, and Coppell was one of the first
cities to adopt Triple Freeport Tax Exemption. These things made Coppell competitive
and helped to create the desirable business environment that Coppell still benefits from
today. However, the community and the competition have changed, and there is a need
to revise the existing incentive policy to stay relevant.
The Economic Development Committee has created a list of potential economic
incentives to expand our current incentive policy. The proposed list includes incentives
for neighborhood commercial properties, locally-owned businesses, Old Town Coppell
properties, façade grants throughout the City and more. The committee believes their
recommendations will help Coppell keep the competitive advantage in the region that it
has always enjoyed.

Re: Presentation of an award to Coppell from Keep Texas Beautiful and the Texas

Achievement Award.
Background:
Keep Texas Beautiful recognized Coppell as the winner of the 2012 Governor’s Community
Achievement Award for outstanding community improvement in their population category. This
award was received at the Keep Texas Beautiful annual conference on June 27, 2012 in Texas.

litter prevention, and beautification.
Coppell will receive an aesthetic landscape project on a highway state right-of-way by the Texas
Department of Transportation valued at $210,000.
The winning communities were chosen for their achievements in community leadership and
coordination, education, public awareness, litter prevention and cleanup, litter law and illegal
dumping enforcement, beautification and community improvement, and solid waste
management. A seven page narrative of the organization’s achievements and a notebook
documenting the city’s activities in 2011 were submitted to win the award.
Mary Jo Tellin, the Keep Texas Beautiful Affiliate Representative, will present the 2011
Governor’s Community Achievement Award to the City of Coppell.

RE: D/FW International Airport Interlocal Agreement
There are approximately 175 acres of land that fall within both the city limits of Coppell
and the geographical boundaries of the D/FW International Airport. Before development
can occur on that acreage, the City of Coppell must enter into an Interlocal Agreement
with the D/FW International Airport Board, the City of Dallas and the City of Fort
Worth. The Interlocal Agreement outlines the tax revenue sharing model that all cities
that have land within the boundaries of D/FW International Airport must agree to before
development can occur.
D/FW International Airport is owned by the Board, the City of Dallas and the City of
Fort Worth. The tax revenue sharing model states that all revenues generated on land
within the geographical boundaries of the airport must be shared with the owner cities.
Therefore, all revenues generated on airport land in Coppell will be split with one-third to
Coppell and the remaining two-thirds to be shared by Dallas and Fort Worth in
proportion to their respective ownership interest in the airport.
After the Interlocal Agreement is signed by all parties, development can begin.
Construction could start as early as the 4th quarter of 2012 depending on the activity in
the market. Approximately 154 acres of the existing 175 acres is developable. On the
154 acres of developable land, the preliminary plans include industrial development on
approximately 124 acres of land and mixed use/retail development on approx imately 30
acres of land.

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
STATE OF TEXAS §
COUNTIES OF DALLAS AND TARRANT §
WHEREAS the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Board, a joint board of the
Cities of Dallas, Texas and Fort Worth, Texas (hereinafter “the Board”), the City of Dallas,
Texas (hereinafter “Dallas”), the City of Fort Worth, Texas (hereinafter “Fort Worth”) and
the City of Coppell, Texas (hereinafter “Coppell”), desire to enter into this interlocal
agreement for the sharing of Revenues as defined herein;
WHEREAS Coppell desires to increase economic development and job creation
opportunities for that portion of Coppell located within the geographical boundaries of the
D/FW International Airport as it exists to date and/or as it may be expanded as permitted by
law (the Property); and
WHEREAS, in exchange for the Board, Dallas and Fort Worth encouraging and
giving consideration to future economic development projects, Coppell is willing to share
with Dallas and Fort Worth a portion of the Revenues generated on the Property;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual consideration, terms,
and provisions contained herein, Dallas, Fort Worth, Coppell and the Board hereby enter
into this Interlocal Agreement (hereinafter “Agreement”).
I.
For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set
forth below:
A. “The Property” shall mean that portion of Coppell located within the
geographical boundaries of the D/FW International Airport (which is owned
in fee simple by the Board, Dallas, and/or Fort Worth) as it exists to date
and/or as it may be changed as permitted by law.
B. “Revenues” shall be an amount equal to the sum of the following amounts
collected, credited to and/or received by Coppell in any calendar year and
which are generated on the Property: (i) the annual maintenance and
operation portion of the ad valorem tax levy on real property and personal
property, i.e. excluding the portion necessary for general obligation debt
service; (ii) sales and use taxes (excluding those special sales tax levies
dedicated for specific purposes, such as crime districts, ad valorem tax
reduction, 4B Development Corporations, Transit Authorities and, except
for hotel occupancy taxes covered by subsection (iii) hereof, other taxes
and/or assessments collected and dedicated for specific purposes
2
authorized by law); (iii) hotel occupancy taxes authorized by Chapter 351
of the Texas Government Code; (iv) that portion of any utility franchise
tax received from the Property; (v) municipal court revenues, including
fines, fees and court costs resulting from citations written on the Property,
excluding fees and costs which are required by state law to be dedicated to
a specific fund and/or purpose or which are mandated by state law to be
assessed as an administrative cost or collection fee; (vi) mixed beverage
taxes; (vii) all taxes authorized in Chapters 334 and 335 of the Local
Government Code, and (viii) all other general revenue tax levies, save and
except such levies other than municipal hotel occupancy taxes which are
dedicated and utilized for specific purposes or are replacing taxes
dedicated and utilized for specific purposes under requirements of state
law.
II.
For each year of this Agreement, Coppell agrees to share Revenues with Dallas and
Fort Worth in the following percentages: one-third (1/3) to Coppell, and the remaining two-
thirds (2/3) shall be shared by Dallas and Fort Worth in proportion to their respective
ownership interest in the D/FW Airport. This Agreement does not, in any manner, create a
guarantee to Dallas and Fort Worth that any particular amount will be received, credited to,
or collected by Coppell. Only those funds actually collected shall be counted for the
purpose of determining the amount of payment Coppell owes under this Agreement; and
bad debts and/or insufficient fund instruments shall not be counted unless good funds are
actually collected. Coppell agrees to diligently pursue, at its own expense, collection of any
said bad debts or insufficient fund instruments to the full extent permitted by law.
III.
Coppell agrees that, with respect to all or any portion of the Property or any
person, corporation, or entity using or occupying all or any portion of the Property, it will
not grant, enter into, or authorize any tax abatement agreements, tax increment
reinvestment zones (also known as “TIFs” or “TIRZs”), enterprise zones, public
improvement districts, or any other special incentive plan pursuant to which (i) taxes that
would be collected by Coppell but, in accordance with state law, are not required to be
collected or (ii) taxes collected by Coppell are, in accordance with state law, required to
be used for a specific purpose stipulated by such law, unless all Parties agree in writing in
advance to such plan, as evidenced by duly adopted resolutions of the governing bodies
of the parties hereto. If Coppell grants, enters into, or authorizes any economic
development program grant pursuant to Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government
Code with respect to all or any portion of the Property or any person, corporation, or
entity using or occupying all or any portion of the Property and the amount of any such
grant is based, in whole or in part, on the receipt of certain taxes that are included within
the definition of “Revenues” under this Agreement, such taxes shall nevertheless be
payable to Dallas and Fort Worth in accordance with this Agreement unless all Parties
3
agree in writing in advance of Coppell’s authorization of the grant to exempt such taxes
from that obligation, as evidenced by duly adopted resolutions of the governing bodies
hereto. Coppell also agrees to levy and take all necessary action to collect all taxes, fees,
etc. which would be applicable against all properties, persons, individuals and
corporations affected by this Agreement.
IV.
This revenue sharing Agreement shall not be construed as affecting any Revenues of
Coppell other than those Revenues generated on the Property. Revenues generated outside
of the Property (including Revenues of Dallas and Fort Worth) shall not be considered when
calculating Revenues under this Agreement.
V.
Nothing in this Agreement should be construed as altering, changing or amending,
in any way, the tax status or exemptions for publicly owned property. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a pledge of any specific tax or other revenues by Coppell,
it being understood that any payments to be made by Coppell hereunder will be made from
current revenues available for any municipal purpose.
VI.
This Agreement is designed to benefit all parties including Coppell, Dallas, Fort
Worth, and the Board. More specifically, the Agreement is designed to more equitably
distribute a portion of revenues amongst the three cities, while encouraging the further
development and growth of D/FW International Airport. The Cities of Dallas and Fort
Worth and the Board agree that as a result of this Agreement, development opportunities
within the Property which are consistent with the development policies of the Board shall be
encouraged. In an effort to encourage the growth and development of D/FW International
Airport and because of the close proximity of Coppell’s utilities to developments that fall
within the Property, Coppell shall permit tie-in and use of utilities by Board tenants for those
developments that fall within the Property under similar terms and conditions as permitted
for other properties within the City of Coppell.
VII.
The Board and the City of Coppell agree to consult with each other, on a regularly
scheduled basis, as it relates to the types of development and the development criteria which
will be permitted on the Property. The consultation shall be for the express purpose of
complementing developments adjacent to the Property and coordinating uniformity in
development criteria; however, all final development decisions shall be at the Board’s sole
4
discretion and nothing herein shall be construed as submitting the Property to the zoning
authority of the City of Coppell.
VIII.
All parties agree to provide a vigorous defense of this Agreement in the event of
litigation by a third party to challenge the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. The
cost of such defense shall be apportioned based on the percentages specified in Section II
hereof with respect to litigation concerning Revenues. In the event of any adverse judicial
decision or any other reason the anticipated sharing of Revenues is not allowed, the parties
agree to use their best efforts and cooperate with each other to enter into alternative
arrangements to share revenues as contemplated herein. This section does not alter or
diminish Coppell’s obligation in Section II to pay all the costs of collecting revenues.
IX.
The amount of Revenues generated in subsequent years shall be verified by the
independent auditor of the City of Coppell with the cost of such verification being
apportioned based on the percentages specified in Section II hereof with respect to
Revenues. Dallas and Fort Worth, or their designated representatives, shall be entitled, no
more frequently than annually, to audit Coppell’s records of Revenues. In an effort to aid in
the audit and subsequent payment of Revenues defined herein, the Board agrees to place in
all new leases of its Property as described in Section I(A) herein entered into after the date
of this Agreement, a provision which requires airport tenants to divulge taxes paid on the
Property and utility fees paid on the Property from which franchise taxes covered hereunder
are calculated, and/or to permit access to such information as will identify those taxes and
fees paid on the Property. Coppell agrees to pay Dallas and Fort Worth their respective
shares of Revenues attributable to each calendar year by March 31st of the following
calendar year, unless otherwise agreed in writing signed by all parties hereto.
X.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas and the
applicable laws of the United States of America, and venue on any suit brought hereunder
shall lie exclusively in Dallas or Tarrant County, Texas.
XI.
In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any
reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision thereof, and in lieu of each
provision of this Agreement that is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, there shall be added a
5
new provision to this Agreement as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable
provision as may be possible and yet be legal, valid and enforceable, by means of good faith
negotiation by the parties to this Agreement.
XII.
This Agreement shall be perpetual and may be terminated only by the mutual written
agreement of all the parties hereto.
XIII.
This Agreement shall become effective between the parties hereto on the day of its
approval by all of the City Councils of Dallas, Fort Worth and Coppell and by the Board and
shall continue in effect until it has been terminated according to this Agreement.
XIV.
This Agreement may be amended or modified only by the mutual agreement of all
the parties hereto, in writing, to be attached to and incorporated into this Agreement.
XV.
This Agreement contains all commitments and agreements of all the parties, and oral
or written commitments not contained herein shall have no force or effect to alter any term
or condition of this Agreement.
XVI.
This Agreement shall be executed by the duly authorized official(s) of the parties as
expressed in the approving resolutions or orders of the governing bodies of each such party,
copy of which are attached hereto.
XVII.
In the event that the Board, Dallas and Fort Worth enter into a future agreement with
another jurisdiction located within the geographical boundaries of the D/FW International
Airport as it now exists and/or it may be changed for the sharing of Revenues, and that
agreement provides that such jurisdiction shall retain a larger percentage of Revenues than
that retained by Coppell pursuant to this Agreement, then in such event this Agreement shall
be amended effective as of the date of such future agreement to provide for Coppell’s
6
retention of the same percentage of future Revenues hereunder. Coppell acknowledges that
the current lack of sharing of hotel occupancy taxes from other municipalities with taxing
authority on the airport does not violate this section of the Agreement or otherwise
constitute a basis for Coppell to void the tax sharing obligation created by this
Agreement; provided, however, that Board hereby commits not to build new hotels or
lease ground for new hotels within Irving, or within any part of Grapevine that is
separated from the airport passenger terminal buildings by a controlled access highway,
unless the municipal taxing jurisdiction agrees to share hotel occupancy taxes in the same
proportions as agreed in this Agreement.
XVIII.
This Agreement shall constitute Coppell’s consent to retail development within
the Property pursuant to Texas Transportation Code Section 22.090.

RE: Façade Grant – West Bethel Properties LLC
City Council adopted the Old Town Coppell Incentive Policy in 2007. One of the
potential incentives available to businesses in Old Town Coppell is the façade grant. The
façade grant is designed to aid in the rehabilitation and restoration of the exterior facades
of existing property in Old Town Coppell. Approved projects will be awarded an amount
equal to 50% of the actual costs to renovate the exterior façade with a maximum
reimbursement of $25,000 per structure. Construction plans must be submitted prior to
the start of the project along with bids for the improvements. All plans must also be
reviewed and approved by the Planning Department to ensure that the improvements
meet the standards for construction stated within the Historic District of the Zoning
Ordinance, the Old Coppell Design Guidelines and all other applicable codes.
West Bethel Properties LLC applied for and received approximately $6,000 in 2010 for
Phase I of a façade grant for Michael’s Wood Floors. They have now submitted an
application for Phase II of their façade grant. Phase II will include the construction of a
canopy and the addition of replica historic gas pumps. The Planning Department has
reviewed and approved the proposed renovations to the building. The actual
reimbursement for Phase II will not be issued until the work is completed and invoices
are submitted to the City. The grant will be for 50% of actual costs but will not exceed
$10,000.
Michael’s Wood Floors is located at 440 W. Bethel Road.

Title:
MEMORANDUM
TO: Coppell City Council
FROM: Mario Canizares, Deputy City Manager
DATE: July 20, 2012
SUBJECT: Employee Health Insurance (Stop Loss Carrier & Third Party Administrator)
Requests for proposals have been received regarding the stop loss carrier and third party
administrative services for the employee health insurance. City staff and its insurance consultant
have been in ongoing negotiations to determine the cost and vendor for the next fiscal year. At
the time of posting the July 24th City Council agenda these key components had not been
determined. We are hopeful that the negotiations will be completed prior to the Council meeting
and staff will be fully prepared to present further details at that time. If the price and vendor is
not determined by next Tuesday then we may be withdrawing the item for consideration.
