Sales Tax Lawsuit Delayed Yet Again • Library Will Offer Menstrual Products • City's Dirtiest Workers to Get New Digs • Firefighters Specialize in Technical Rescues
Loved the article about the period product availability at the library. Very impressed by the high school club that started this. The kids are alright!
Thank you for the informative news. Reading this edition made me feel proud of our city. I didn’t know we had a specialized rescue team. Also, that our city cares about our workers and is expanding the service center to fit the needs of workers that often don’t get the accolades they deserve. I love the news that Coppell students are helping the community and that efforts are being made to register young voters. Our democracy can’t survive if we don’t participate in elections! I was disappointed in the turnout in our recent primary election.
I received a Community Impact local publication in the mail that stated Coppell was going to start accepting applications for grants of at least $1000 from homeowners for necessary outdoor home improvements as a result of our city’s tax surplus. I am a believer in helping out those less fortunate but this is all kind of wrong. Not enough has been said to the taxpayers with regard to decision making and oversight.
This RRG pilot program is obviously moving forward, no matter.
Can you please clarify few things:
1. The tiny article in the (Vol 7/5) Community Impact states: “Owner must apply for a grant for a primary residence or rental property”. In your (Vol 3/52) it was reported that the council made preference that owner-occupied residences take priority over non-owner-occupied residences.
Is this still preferred by the council?
2. How/Where will Mindi Hurley market this RRG pilot program to Coppell homeowners in “early April”?
3. How or Who will decide which homeowners receive a grant up to $10,000 vs those that won’t?
Loved the insight on the region's shared emergency response specializations.
Thanks for educating us about technical rescues and the great exchange agreements we have with the surrounding fire departments
Thank God for quickly responsive Firefighters who are well equipped and trained!
They are priceless!
Always informative and equally entertaining, thanks, Dan!

Stacey, I wrote about that proposal in Vol. 3, No. 52: https://coppellchronicle.substack.com/p/coppell-chronicle-vol-3-no-52

4. Will it be transparent- where the money goes?
Yes, and the details of this RRG pilot program are murky at best. Too many unknowns- who, what, where, when and how much- decisions?
I know.
