Winnsboro hears incentive request from Brent Schick; board adjourns to executive session
Summary
Officials discussed an incentive request from applicant Brent Schick, who described plans for a park-like food-truck venue and said he seeks help with utilities. The board voted to go into executive session under Texas Local Government Code §551.087 to deliberate economic development negotiations.
The board heard an incentive request from Brent Schick on an agenda item described as item 6.2. Schick said he is planning a park-like environment to host families and food vendors to generate revenue for the city and asked for assistance with utilities and interior infrastructure.
"I'm doing is actually creating a park environment for for families to come and enjoy different types of foods and, bring in, you know, revenue to the city," Schick said, adding he was seeking help with utilities. The presentation was brief and focused on the proposed use and basic infrastructure needs.
Following the presentation, a member moved and another seconded to adjourn into closed session under the Texas Local Government Code exception §551.087 for deliberation of economic development negotiations. The Chair announced the board would adjourn to a closed session at 5:43 PM. No details of negotiation positions or incentives were disclosed in the public portion of the meeting; the deliberation occurred in executive session and was therefore not part of the public record in the transcript.
Because deliberations under §551.087 took place in closed session, no public vote or decision on incentives is recorded in the transcript.
