Subject: Consideration and action on accepting a bid for the demolition of the building owned by the CCEDC, located at 201 South 2nd Street, demolished. Diane Drussell, Interim Director,
Copperas Cove Economic Development Corporation
Description/Information: In 2017, the Copperas Cove EDC and Coryell County did a building swap between 201 S. 2nd Street and 210 S. First Street. The building on 2nd Street now belongs to the Copperas Cove Economic Development Corporation. This building is not being utilized by anyone at the moment and sits empty. While some CCEDC Board members have suggested the EDC staff have this building renovated, there are others who have asked to get an estimate on the demolition of the building and foundation, resulting in an empty lot. Diane Drussell has contacted several businesses who do this type of work and two businesses have responded, though one only provided an email bid:
Burk’s Dirt and Site Prep
S3 Site Work
R.N.C Construction Burk’s gave an estimate of $40K (attached). S3 Site Work provided a rough estimate in the form of an email. Neither estimate includes the asbestos inspection; however, ESESIS, a company that conducts asbestos testing, is scheduled to obtain samples on Monday, May 20, 2019.
Financial Impact:
TBD
Action/Recommendation: The CCEDC Staff recommends we move forward on awarding this to a contractor who is able to fulfill the needs of the CCEDC board and staff.

Subject: Consideration and action on accepting a proposal from C-Cove 90 Partners, Ltd. (Endeavor Real Estate) to purchase the digital sign owned by the CCEDC. Diane Drussell, Interim Director,
Copperas Cove Economic Development Corporation
Description/Information: In 2014/2015 the digital sign, owned by the CCEDC sustained hail damage. At the time of damage, repairs were requested. For several months, insurance claims representatives for both the EDC and the sign company surveyed the damage and could not come to an agreement. Engineers came and looked at the sign and it was believed it could be repaired. The parts were ordered, only to find out the parts were no longer produced. This has been an ongoing issue for quite some time and it seems no longer feasible to spend any more time or money on this issue. At the request of the CCEDC BOD, Diane Drussell tried to find a valuation for the sign, as is. It was difficult to try to obtain a value on a sign that was broken, and smaller than an acceptable size sign, per TXDOT standards. In the meantime, Mr. Daniel Campbell of C-Cove 90 Partners, Ltd. (Endeavor Real Estate), expressed interest in purchasing the sign and its easement. They would use this to promote the businesses not visible from Business 190. Financial Impact: Would create an increase in revenue of $25,000 to the CCEDC. Action/Recommendation: CCEDC staff recommends the Board consider the offer made by C-Cove 90 Partners, Ltd. to purchase the digital sign.

Description/Information:
The Missions and Goals of the Copperas Cove Economic Development Corporation have not been updated for several years. A planning session/retreat was discussed in 2015, shortly before the previous Director resigned. Due to the absence of a permanent Director at the time and the transition of the Economic Development Department and , it was determined to delay any retreat or planning session to set goals of the CCEDC until a permanent Director was hired and transition was completed.
It is imperative, in an effort to move forward, the CCEDC BOD and staff meet to identify goals and create a plan for the CCEDC.
