The Richardson City Council convened on June 2, 2025, for a work session focused on economic development initiatives. The meeting began with procedural announcements and a reminder about compliance with Texas government code regarding closed sessions.
The council entered a closed session to deliberate on economic development matters, specifically discussing commercial or financial information from a business prospect and potential financial incentives for that prospect. After the closed session, the council reconvened in open session at 8:04 PM.
During the open session, Council Member Justice proposed a motion to authorize the city manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with a business prospect referred to as Project Rodeo. This agreement would include economic development incentives as discussed in the executive session. Council Member Dorian seconded the motion.
Following the motion, the council opened the floor for discussion but found no further comments. A vote was called, resulting in a unanimous decision with all seven council members in favor of the motion.
The meeting concluded with the council's commitment to advancing economic development in Richardson through the approved agreement with Project Rodeo.
