‘Tve learned that Physical
Plant exists to meet the needs of
others," he said. “If you can’t do
your job then we are not doing
ours. I created an environment
where employees were allowed to
do their best.”
Sugg said he also made strides
in the quality of work life at the
plant.
“From a management perspec
tive, we have evolved into a work
ing environment where people are
no longer controlled and direct
ed,” he said. “I hope it continues.”
Sugg said his only regret in re
signing is leaving people who
work at the plant.
“These people are the jewels of
the University,” Sugg said.
This summer the A&M System
Board of Regents canceled a $120
million proposed power plant that
Sugg had worked on for two
years. In June, a University-
hired consulting firm determined
the project was a bad investment.
“I felt disappointed it was can
celed,” he said, ‘but I don’t chal
lenge the decision that was
made.”
He said that although the can
cellation of the plant did not
cause his decision to retire, but it
did have an effect on the timing.
Gaston said Sugg did not men
tion the canceled project in the
resignation letter, but Gaston
said he would not be surprised if
it was one reason he resigned.
“I know he’s worked hard on
that project,” he said. “I wouldn’t
be surprised if he is worn out.”
Sugg said he will not stay in

the West Coast, possibly Oregon,
which he said is where his wife
has always wanted to live.
Sugg said he decided to leave
in January because he thought
four months was a sufficient peri
od of time to help Gaston.
L.R. Johnson, associate direc
tor for Physical Plant administra

with Sugg for the last four years.
“Joe Sugg is one of the best
people I’ve known,” Johnson said.
“He is a credible person and I be

Johnson said four different di

“I have worked with four direc

and a new director,” he said.
“Physical Plant will continue
