The Texas A&M University System College Station, Texas 77843-8000
I enjoyed visiting with you, Peggy Sham, and Lynn Craft
Wednesday afternoon and I felt we had a very constructive
meeting.
In reply to the letter that you wrote pertaining to the $220,000 by
the City of Coppell for the construction of the training center, I
am attaching an agenda item approved by the Board of Regents at
it's March 27, 1989 meeting. It specifically states that the land
and building will be a gift to The Texas A&M University System for
the use and benefit of the Texas Engineering Extension Service or
such other System component conducting educational or training
programs and activities. I would also like to advise you that all
educational programs conducted by TEEX and other Parts of The
Texas A&M University System are done so by full-time professional
staff members. At all of our training centers, we have full-time
managers in order that we can control the quality of our programs
and the facilities in which they are offered.
I would be happy to address any additional questions that you or
any other individuals or organizations in the City of Coppell might
have regarding the potential operation of the North Texas Regional
Training Center in Coppell. Please let me know if I can be of any
further service or provide additional information to you.
