AEDC board extends Producer Owned Beef deadlines by two years, 3-0, as chairman abstains
Chairman Fairly said he would abstain because of a potential conflict and left the room; a Chapter 171 abstention affidavit is attached to the minutes. Staff said the extension would push the commencement-of-operation deadlines and corresponding dates in the location incentive agreement back two years. Director Craft moved, Director Smith seconded, and it passed 3-0. Staff told the board in November and December 2025 that Producer Owned Beef was under construction.[1][2]

Chairman Fairly 'stated there he would abstain from this vote due to potential conflict then excused himself and left the board room while discussion was being held' (as printed). Attached to the minutes are a Chapter 171 affidavit on abstention from voting and a Local Government Officer Conflicts Disclosure form signed by Fairly; the scanned forms are only partly legible, and the business-entity name on them cannot be read with confidence. The minutes do not state the nature of the conflict.[1]
