IV. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Donna Higgins reported taking a site and development,
tour of the city with city planner, Greg Last. The tour was
very informative and gave her a better perspective on where
Southlake is and where it is going. Donna also reported on
her attendance at the last Metroport meeting, where it
was suggested that a resolution from each city,
chamber, and economic development council be submitted to
COG in support of the continuance of FM 1709 to I-35. David
Baltimore made a motion in support of a resolution being
sent by SEDC, seconded by Susan Evans. This was appproved
unanimously.
V. COMMITTEE REPORTS
A.) Economic Profile: Greg Last reported almost every
page of the profile has been modified although they are
still in -the process of fine tuning it. Greg also reported
searching for someone to work on the graphics for the
profile. The graphics would include a DFW metroplex map and
digitized logo etc. Greg stated they did gain alot towards
the Economic Profile this month. Susan Evans suggested
having approximately a 45 minute work session after the next
SEDC meeting to actually go through the profile, see what
has been updated, and try to get the profile moving in a
forward motion.
B.) Property Profile: John Drews reported, he and
Susan Evans had met on the Property Profile. They
established a priority schedule which would start by
identifying the property sites in the key commercial core
of 114 and FM 1709 that are 20 acres or larger. Then
identify which ones are zoned and which ones are not. One
suggestion Susan had was the possibility of working closely
with the city staff on what the zoning possibilities would
be for certain sites. It was pointed out by Greg Last that
the city has been updating their land use plan., Greg said
he would=,send copies to John Drews and Susan Evans of what
the city has as the corridor zone. John and Susan invision
this to be completed by September 1st.
C.) Abatement/Incentive: Susan Evans reported
this is still being worked on.
D.) Business Retention: David Bergman stated he had
been trying to reach Betty Springer. He then stated Betty
was putting together a survey to use when visiting the
existing businesses for their response. Rick Wilhelm then
replied that Dallas had recently mailed out a survey to
their businesses and he then said he would try and get a
copy for us. David then discussed starting the visitations
with businesses which were chamber members and from there
getting a list of Southlake businesses possibly from the
city through the water billing.
VI. OLD BUSINESS
A.) FM 1709: Curtis Hawk reported we would know
whether or not our million dollars was acceptable by
Thursday. Curtis also stated that July 24th is when COG
decides whether phase 2 will be funded. If our part of
1709 goes to bid late July, they will start
construction probably in September or October. The.
construction will start at 1709 and 114.
B.) Ally Cities --designation: Rick Wilhelm stated he
received a call from Reid Rector of the Greater Dallas
Chamber and that Donna Higgins (Executive Director) would
now be the designated contact for any Ally Cities Programs.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
A.) Economic Sury
would be a good idea.
to use this as reliable
methodology and make su
decided that questions
would not be useful.
ey: It was decided an updated survey
Curtis Hawk stated if we were going
data then we should use correct
re it is census correct. It was also
geared towards the retailing aspect
B.) T.U. Information: Donna Higgins reported she had
spoken with Sonny Rhodes of T.U. Electric. The conversation
dealt with the fact that Southlake has no information in
T.U. Electric's Economic Development department. Donna told
us T.U. needs specific site information. As soon as we
identify sites and gather the information on them, a meeting
can be arranged with T.U.'s economic development people out
of Dallas so Southlake would then be represented in their
files. Donna also stated that as soon as T.U. was taken
care of SEDC would then want to submit the information to
Tri County Electric and both phone companies.
