III. Board Member Reports - Board member Stella Roberts informed the board
that she had attended the Pearland Trade Fair that took place on October 27,
1996 and was pleased to see the larger facilities working out well. Ms. Roberts
said that even though she thought the event went well, she thought a little more
organization was needed in order to avoid conflict with other scheduled events
taking place on the same weekend.
Vice President Tricia Holland reported on the State of The States Economic
Development Conference she attended on October 29-30, 1996 with Billye
Everett, President of the Pearland/Hobby Area Chamber of Commerce and Terrie
Morgan, Marketing and Events Coordinator for PEDC, stating that the conference
had been excellent and had given them an opportunity to interface with other
economic developers through out the state.
Ms. Billye Everett added that the number one issue the conference had identified
was the poor job of educating the workforce, an issue the PEDC and the
Chamber were currently working on. A copy of the report with statistics
presented by the Chancellor of The University of Texas regarding the education of
the workforce and the trend projected in the next ten to twenty years will be
provided as soon as possible.
IV. Executive Director & Staff Report - Executive Director Glen Erwin's report
included comments on a meeting with Congressman Tom Delay's staff regarding
transportation and other needs in our area. Mr. Erwin called the meeting very
productive.
Other comments by Mr. Erwin included the final requests for proposal that the
PEDC had received on the Overpass project conducted by Walsh Engineering, Inc.
and the Industrial Eluent Study conducted by ECO Resources. Calling both very
good proposals, Mr. Erwin said he would have copies and his recommendations
to the board by the next scheduled PEDC board meeting.
