5. Proposal by Mr. Walter Scott, the Area Manager for GVEC,
to build a "spec" building in Schertz Business Park was
tabled for later discussion at a luncheon meeting with
Mr. Scott and the board members. Mark said he would
make arrangements for the meeting.
6. Mark discussed plans for the foundation to host a
Commercial Brokers Open House. His thoughts included a
luncheon at Northcliffe Country Club during which some
short presentations would be made and a book distributed
which would list available commercial properties and
their major features. The highlight of the event would
be the chance for the brokers to learn about the city of
Schertz and to make face-to-face contacts with key people
in the city administration, as well as with listing
brokers and property owners. Mark anticipates spending
about $1000 for the luncheon and professionally bound
book. The board gave Mark approval to continue with his
plans.
7. The Audit Report was reviewed and accepted by the board.
8. Executive Director Mark Marquez updated the board on
recent activity (see enclosed Economic Development Task
Force Information/Activity Report No. 14, dated May 18,
1993). Mr. Sweatt commented that we might expect about
1000 new homes to be built in the city within the next
year or so, so our current trends and demographics are
definitely improving.
9. The next formal meeting of the board was tentatively set
for Monday, June 28, at 7:00 p.m.
10. The meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
