Place 6 candidates say better economic plans needed

Reporters
David Brochu and Dick Haddox,
candidates for College Station City
Council Place 6, agree College Sta
tion needs improvement in at least
one area — economic planning.
Haddox’s philosophy
Dick Haddox has a simple philos
ophy about running a city — listen to
its citizens.
“I think the city of College Station
is a service company,” Haddox, 54,
says, “and should provide the serv
ices that the citizens of College Sta
tion want.
“One of the things 1 think that
could be ver y helpful is better com
munication to die average citizen
about what is going on. I’d like to see
to it that that happens.”
Haddox attended Rice University
on a football scholarship. A member
of A&M Methodist Church, he and
his wife have four children. He is the
vice chairman of Anco Insurance.
Haddox says he’s an ordinary
businessman who decided to do
something for his community.
“I think that probably everybody,
deep down, at one time or another,
would like to do something for his
fellow man,” he says. “The tendency
is to say, ‘Well, I’ll wait until I’m not
cjuite so busy.’ ”
But Haddox says he realized he
always would be busy, so he decided
to enter the race.
“I felt like this was an opportune
time, because we’ve got an economic
situation that needs improving in the
local area,” he says. “We need to
have a better relationship, a more
open Relationship, with Texas A&M
and we need to have a better
relationship between Bryan and Col
lege Station.”
College Station Jaycees and is the
current vice chairman of the College
Station Industrial Foundation.
He says if he’s elected his 20 years
of experience in the business world
will help him in his Council work.
“I think that a city council person
needs to have the experience of be
ing able to run a business,” Haddox
says. “I have that.”
But business experience is not all
Haddox has gained from working in
the insurance business.
“As a result of (working in the in
surance business), 1 feel that I un
derstand people, I feel I can com
municate with people,” he says.

Issues
Haddox says he’s concerned
about the quality of life in the area.
He says, for example, that this en
tails nice neighborhoods, good
streets, good Fire protection and
good schools.
“But I think it also includes an
economic environment where your
kids don’t have to move to Houston
or Dallas or Fort Worth in order to
make a living,” he adds.
But Haddox points out that there
is really no one issue or set of issues.
“It bothers me a little bit when I
hear somebody say ‘Well, I’m run
ning because I’m for this,’ ” Haddox
says. “And it’s an emotional issue
and the candidates all get fired-up
and that group who wants that (is
sue) ends up voting for that partic
ular candidate.
“I’m not going to change that
from the standpoint of how people
vote, but I feel that the candidate
that would run with the big picture is
going to do you a better job than
somebody who’s running with one
issue in mind.”
The other Place 6 candidate, Da
vid Brochu has lived in College Sta
tion for 13 years and says he wants to
continue living here for a long time.
But he says he’s concerned about the
way the city is growing.
Because of this concern, Brochu,
32, says decided to run for the City
Con ncil.
Runnels has been on the Planning
and Zoning Commission since 1984.
His interest in the council was born
out of his activities on the commis
sion, he says.
While the commission can take Fi
nal action on some of its decisions,
many of them must be passed by the
city council, he says. For example, in
re-zoning, he says, the commission
has a great deal of input as to the di
rection the city should take, but the
council has the Final decision.
“There have been some times,”
Brochu says, “over the last several
months that some of the things that
went from Planning and Zoning to
the city council ended up being re
versed or changed.
“So I came to question a little bit
more about how the city council
makes their final decision and I be
came more interested in it.”

Part of the big picture, Haddox
says, is just plain work.
“The tough stuff,” he says, “is the
daily drudgery of planning ahead so
that what you do today ends up be

“And if you don’t that today, then
Brochu says he’s most concerned
about the city deviating from its
comprehensive, long-term plan in
order to bring more commercial
business into the community.
“While we need to be very con
scious of our needs to stimulate the
commercial part of our business, I
don’t want to be so short-sighted as
to go too far away from our compre
hensive plan and do something that
might not be good long-range plan
ning,” he says.
Brochu graduated from A&M in
1974 with a horticulture degree. He
is the manager of The Greenery, a
landscape management company in
Bryan, and a senior at A&M major
