AYES: Supervisors Powers , McPeak , Torlakson , Fanden
NOES: Supervisor Schroder
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
SUBJECT: Capsule , Inc . Request for Letter
The Board on January 29 , 1985 deferred to this day decision
on the request by Capsule , Inc . for a letter from the County indicating
that the County was not successful in locating a site for Capsule' s
relocation .
The Board received a letter dated January 319 1985 from
Terence Stauber , General Manager , Capsule , Inc . , providing information
on the firm' s needs for a larger plant which included a suitable
location for an industrial park in an area of affordable housing for
its factory workers and office staff . He referred to his firm' s
search for a suitable location in Contra Costa County and advised
that high cost considerations precluded the firm from relocating in
another site in the County. He noted that a desirable site was found
in Fairfield . Mr . Stauber referred to the availability of industrial
development bonds from the State of California that have a low
interest rate and noted his desire to participate in that program.
He requested the Board to help Capsule , Inc . gain State approval of
the planned expansion financing by providing a letter stating that
the County has no objections to the relocation.
Board members reviewed the report of the Finance Committee
dated January 28, 1985 . A majority consensus was reached that a
suitable site could be found for Capsule in the County and therefore
could not support the request of that firm .
Supervisor Robert Schroder advised that he saw no reason
why the Board should deny Capsule' s request since it appears that
the _firm had seriously searched for an appropriate site in Contra
Costa County .
There being no further discussion , IT IS ORDERED that the
request of Capsule , Inc . is DENIED .
