keep the board updated. He added that the last Request For Proposal for the
Industrial Effluent Project was due by the end of the week and it would be
reviewed as soon as possible.
Mr. Erwin told the board that he had received several proposals from various firms
and individuals concerning the future promotional campaign that the Pearland
Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) was about to embark upon. He
added that the staff would be visiting with one more company and would have a
recommendation for the board by next month's board meeting.
He stated that work regarding the logo had begun. He said he thought that what
was in the works could be something everyone would be proud of and added that
it might be generic enough that it could be used by the city. He said PEDC
expected copies of that project sometime next week.
Mr. Erwin said that the PEDC staff had been looking at various agencies that
would be doing the cost benefit analysis. The range was anywhere from very
expensive private companies to some folks who are doing the same work at A&M.

back with a good recommendation.
