Development Corporation Special Meeting


The City of San Angelo Development Corporation's Board met yesterday and approved a $75.000 economic development incentive for Rosenberger Site Solutions, LLC.  The company plans to move some manufacturing operations to a leased facility on Tractor Trail.

Missing from the meeting were First Vice President John Bariou and Economic Development Administrator Nolan Sosa.  They along with former Economic Development Director Guy Andrews raised a number of leadership concerns in the September meeting. 

City Council spent considerable time in executive session regarding the Development Corporation in their October 4th meeting.  Sosa is no longer employed by the city.  His name is missing from the city's economic development webpage.  Sosa's LinkedIn page indicates he now works for BEPC, the consulting company that hired former City Councilmember Johnny Silvas. 

Yesterday's meeting was a one item agenda so none of the prior issues (conflict avoidance, bullying, fairness, board independence) were raised.  If normal City of San Angelo practice is followed those issues will not be raised again.  At least not in public.

Update 10-26-22:  City Council will discuss in Executive Session on 11-1-22.

Section 551.074 - Personnel matters regarding the evaluation, discipline, or dismissal of John Bariou from the COSADC Board
