Development Corporation approves sector and river plans, and authorizes industrial-park land sale
Summary
The Development Corporation approved up to $255,000 for a Northeast sector master plan, $50,000 toward a downtown river parks master plan, and the sale of about 5.5 acres in the industrial park to Texas A&M Forest Service for $240,000 following executive-session deliberations.
At its Nov. 12 meeting the City of San Angelo Development Corporation approved three formal actions in open session and after executive-session deliberations.
Northeast sector master plan: Michael Dane presented a proposal for the Corporation to fund a city-contracted master plan for the Northeast sector. The board approved an MOU authorizing funding not to exceed $255,000 to support the city-led contract for the master plan under the Texas Development Corporation Act provisions cited in the agenda. Director Mahaffey moved to approve the funding and the motion passed by voice vote.
Santa Fe downtown river parks master plan: Carl White reported that the City solicited qualifications and selected SWA Group (Houston) to prepare a river-corridor master plan. The negotiated fee is $200,000; additional funding sources covering $150,000 were identified and the Development Corporation approved a $50,000 contribution to the project to complete the funding package. Director Mahaffey moved to approve $50,000, Director Lassiter seconded, and the motion passed by voice vote.
Industrial park land sale: After an executive session that included deliberations regarding real property, the board considered a proposed sale of approximately 5.5 acres in the industrial park to the Board of Regents of The Texas A&M University System (Texas A&M Forest Service). The board set and approved a sale price of $240,000 for the parcel and adopted the motion in open session.
Votes and procedure: All three items passed by voice vote with no abstentions noted in the record. The meeting then moved to routine closing items and adjourned.
The board referenced Government Code provisions applicable to closed-session discussions and economic-development activities when addressing legal and procedural constraints.
