Bryan forms census review
By NANCY ANDERSEN
City Staff
The Bryan City Council unani
mously approved the creation of a
committee to promote and review
the 1980 census Monday night.
The Complete Count Committee
was created to ensure a correct count
and to review the census for errors.
The city had a lot of problems with
the last census. City Manager Ernest
Clark said, and the committee might
minimize any errors in the new
census.
In other action, the council
approved a citizens participation
plan for the Community Develop
ment Block Grant Program. Clark
said the plan is merely a formality
required by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development
since Bryan already has such a
program.
Councilman Henry Seale said the
plan is “more governmental
bureaucracy creeping into our over
taxed system, and I resent it.”
Mayor Richard Smith agreed and

he Bryan Independent School
trict will apply for a Federal Im-
Aid grant at the end of this
jiith, the board of trustees decided
day.
)r. Charles B. Jones, director of
nning and evaluation for the
ool district, said this type of aid is
ilahle to any district in which at
:t3 percent of the students live in
low-rent housing, or whose parents
are on active military duty or work on
federal property.
Out of a total of 9,274 students in
the district, 304 of them fall into one
of these categories (3.28 percent),
making the Bryan School District eli
gible for the federal aid, Jones said.
“Federal Impact Aid is the least
restrictive of all federal monies,” he
said, adding that the approximately
$10,000 which he estimates the dis-

trict will receive from the govern
ment will be used to supplement dis
trict programs.
In other action, the board re
ceived a check for $10,000 presented
by the Brazos County Industrial
Foundation to be used to purchase
machinery for a metals trade
program.
The program is a cooperative
effort between the Bryan School Dis
trict, the Bryan Chamber of Com
merce and the Brazos County In
dustrial Foundation to train local re
sidents in the operation of industrial
machinery.
Dick Peacock, who made the pre
sentation on behalf of BCIF, said he
feels this is an important project be
cause it will train people in the com
munity for the many industry-
related jobs which are expected to
occur locally in the near future.
“The machinist training equip
ment that this money will provide for
the school district will assure our loc
al industry that it will have a qual
ified source of applicants for posi
tions as skilled technicians,” he said.
The program is scheduled to begin
in March and \vill be held at the old
vocational building on Highway 21,
which is being renovated for that
purpose.
said the program has worked well
without the plan. Requiring citizen
participation won’t increase it any,
he added.
The council also awarded con
tracts for various improvements tot
aling nearly $630,000. Among these
are contracts for the repairing and
painting of the water tower and im
provement and development of two
parks.
A resolution to authorize a $4,000
contract for a study on the Old Car
negie Library Building was also
approved.
The first phase of the study in
volves developing scale drawings for
the existing building. These draw
ings will be done by a Texas A&M
University architecture graduate
student, who will receive a salary for
his work.
The second phase consists of
studying the possible rehabilitation
of the building. It has already been
designated as a museum by the coun
cil at the request of the Brazos Valley
Historical Society. However, other
uses will be considered by the Com
munity Development committee.
Smith said the city should help the
committee develop guidelines for
the building’s ultimate use.
Councilman Joe Hanover ques
tioned the spending of $4,000 for
such a study even though the Com
munity Development Committee is
furnishing the funds.
