President of the joint Economic Development Foundation, John Anderson, and
Executive Director of the B/CS Economic Development Foundation came
forward to present this item. Mr. Anderson mentioned several key issues with
this prospect.
The City of Bryan affirmed Sanderson Farms economic incentive package in
concept only. No final decision has been made at this date. Sanderson Farms
is negotiating on a 350 acre site with Brazos County officials and a 20 acre site
in Robertson County.
Councilmembers discussed a suitable payment option to this proposal.
Councilmembers anticipated that Sanderson Farms would provide performance
measures as part of their proposal. Mr. Worley replied affirmatively.
Mr. Anderson described the benefits of this proposal.
Councilman Mariott made a motion to allocate $50,000 initially, and another
$50,000 at the time the plant opens. This is contingent upon the development
agreement and the inclusion of performance standards.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Crouch.
Councilman Kennady made a motion to allocate $50,000 in two payments of
$25,00O.
The motion died from a lack of second.
The original motion carried by a vote of 6-1, Councilman Kennady voted against.
The council recessed for a shod break.
