NORTH TEXAS COMMISSION REPORT � : � � Mr. Rick Douglas, President of the North Texas ,; Commission, gave a brief history of the North Texas � Commission from its formation in 1971 . It was the chief � marketing agent for the international airport until 1982 � when a marketing department was formed by the Airport � Board. The Commission then became an economic € development research gathering type of organization for � the area. � ;: Mr. Douglas stated the Commission is very excited about � what is currently happening in the North Texas area and hopefully the Commission' s function will continue to � expand and influence, in a positive way, the economic � development of the North Texas area. Mr. Douglas then � summarized the Commission' s program for 1989-90 as: � (1) Formalization of the Commission' s role in economic ; development through marketing strategies for the � region; � f (2) Regional Mobility and Access Program focuses on � expansion of the Dallas/Fort Worth International � Airport, which the Commission believes is an �' important issue for the region, due to the economy � of the region being dependent upon the continued � competitive advantage of the operation of the �; airport, � (3) Regional Science and Technology Program is � responsible for and coordinating efforts to attract � the Super Conducting Super Collider project to the � regional area and are continuing to work with the � State agencies and Department of Energy as the � project gets under way in the area; � � F k � � 8 � � � � 10/17/89 Y (4) Direct affiliation with the North Texas Interlink Program which is a dual program--research and � manpower training that is geared toward the � development of the manpower resources necessary to � our region to take advantage of the merit of economic development opportunities that are available; Additionally, the Commission plans to initiate an educational forum focusing on education and its ; funding and its importance in the State of Texas; (5) Strategic Regional Analysis Program--to develop reports on status of area' s economy. Also specific international markets will be targeted during this program; and (6) Dallas/Fort Worth International Trade and Resource Center has been created to work with small and mid-size businesses from across the region that have not been involved in the export of their products internationally. Discussion and questions from the City Council ensued relative to the fact the City Council felt the Commission was a non-political organization, but the recent economic study prepared by Peat Marwick Company projected the Commission in a public relation role for the airport instead of a mediator for the region. Mr. Douglas responded that the study provided base line data that � would indicate economic impact for expanding the airport. � Unfortunately, the study was viewed as a public relation study, even though it was meant to be the basis to understand the economic impact of the proposed airport expansion. � Council questioned why the study did not look at the I negatives and positives of how the airport expansion � would affect the surrounding cities and area. Mr. ' Douglas stated the study was not designed, or funded, to j look at both sides of the issue, and during the study � process, Grapevine was not even considered. Mr. Douglas =' said he would not apologize for the contents of the ` ! report and the Commission' s position on the proposed ; expansion would not change--the Board endorses the � proposed expansion of the airport (Runway 16/34 West) . I i During the discussion, Council Member Pittman requested � an item be placed on the next Council agenda to consider withdrawal from membership in the North Texas Commission. { Mr. Douglas then stated that whatever action Grapevine determines to take regarding their North Texas Commission � Membership, the City is an important part of the North � Texas Commission and the Commission will continue working a to resolve the issue in a fashion to everyone ' s benefit. i ; � ITEM 22 .

Mr. Knauf indicated that ` unless a source of funding could be obtained by the DGA for �` ti�i installation, Staff anticipates the lights will not be purchased ; this year. � , i j After considerable discussion regarding the cost of the 1 installation of the lights and the electrical hook ups, the consensus of the City Council was that Staff purchase the Christmas � 9 � I ! 10/17/89 � � , � r � lights as planned and the building owners could install the lights � when they abtained the funds. � � � ITEM 23.
