General Discussion
Mayor Rodenbaugh advised the Council of a recent incident
involving a company that wanted to locate in Allen and that
had requested a tax break of some sort. They indicated to
the Mayor in the conversation that the City of Plano had
given them the indication that they would provide that to
them if they moved to Plano. The Mayor advised that he
had checked into the matter with Plano and had found that
statement to be false. Mayor Rodenbaugh stated that it
brought up a very important point, however, which was the
need for better communication between cities regarding such
matters. Mayor Rodenbaugh indicated that he had met with
the Mayor of Plano, Jack Harvard, and they had discussed
perhaps holding meetings on a quarterly basis for the City
Councils of Allen and Plano to get together to discuss mutual
areas of concern and interest. It was proposed that the
first meeting take place in February of 1985. By consensus,
the Allen City Council agreed that this was a good idea and
was in favor of the meetings.
