CITY PROFILE
Location
The City of College Station , incorporated in 1938, is located in Brazos County in East Central
Texas, approximately 140 miles north of th~ Gulf of Mexico, approximately 90 miles northwest bf
Houston, approximately 165 miles south of Dallas and approximately 100 miles east of Aust in, in
vi
po. Box 996 0

vii
an area referred to as the Brazos Valley. The City currently has a land area of 47.2 square miles
and a current estimated population of 93,149 as of September 2009. The City has the power, by
state statute, to extend its corporate limits by annexation, which it has done periodically.
Structure
The City of College Station is a home rule city operating under the Council-Manager form of
government. The City Council is composed of a mayor and six council members, elected at
large, who enact local laws, determine policies and adopt the annual budget. The City Manager
is appointed by the City Council and is responsible for the daily management of the City. The
Basic Financial Statements of the City include all government activities, organizations and
functions for which the City is financially responsible as defined by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board. Based on these criteria, no other governmental organizations are included in
this report. For additional information on the reporting entity, refer to Note I-A in the basic
financial statements.
Services Provided
The City provides its citizens those services that have proven to be necessary and meaningful
and which the City can provide at the least cost. Major services provided under general
government and enterprise functions are: police and fire protection, emergency ambulance
service, electric services, water and wastewater services, sanitation services, parks and
recreation facilities, library services, street improvements and general administrative services.
Internal services of the City, accounted for on a cost reimbursement basis, are fleet services,
equipment replacement, risk management, employee health and disability coverage.
Accounting System and Budgetary Control
The City's accounting records for general governmental operations are maintained on a modified
accrual basis, with the revenues recorded when available and measurable, and expenditures
recorded when the services or goods are received and the liabilities incurred. Accounting records
for the City's utilities and other proprietary activities are maintained on a full accrual basis with
revenues recorded when earned and expenses recorded as goods or services are provided to the
user.
In developing and maintaining the City's accounting system, consideration is given to the
adequacy of the internal control structure. Internal accounting controls are designed to provide
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss
from unauthorized use or disposition, and (2) the reliability of financial records for preparing
financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be
derived, and (2) the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by
management.
All internal accounting control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe that the
City's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable
assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.
The City charter provides that the City Council shall adopt the annual budget prepared by City
Management. This budget is reviewed by the City Council and is formally adopted by the
passage of a budget ordinance. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts
between line items and departments within any fund; however, City Council must authorize
transfers between General Fund departments and all increases in total spending in any fund.
Budgetary control over spending is at the department level within the City's General Fund and at
the individual fund appropriation in all other funds. The City's departments have direct access to
review budgets as often as necessary. Monthly closing reports are prepared and reviewed by
viii
management showing revenues, expenditures, and balance sheets. Summarized financial
reports and budget reports are provided to the City Council on a quarterly basis.
FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION
Economic Conditions
The recent slowing in the national economy has begun to be felt in College Station. However
some growth has continued to occur despite the slowdown. The concentration of stable
employment sectors such as government and higher education contribute to the steady growth
that College Station has experienced over the last several years. This growth provides some of
the additional resources needed to maintain service levels to the citizens and visitors of College
Station. Challenges remain as traditionally strong revenue streams slowed significantly.
In fiscal year 2009, the unemployment rate was approximately 6 percent, the fourth lowest in the
state. Overall, the state of Texas experienced an 8 percent unemployment rate.
Sales tax collections in College Station fell for the first time in many years. This is consistent with
the recent slowdown in the economy. In fiscal year 2009, sales tax revenue was down by 1.8
percent over fiscal year 2008 to $19,438,179 from 19,822,906 in 2008. Sales tax revenues are
anticipated to be down in fiscal year 2010, and then begin to bottom out and see slight increases
in future years.
Despite the slowdown in the economy, College Station continued to see development. There
were 536 new housing starts during 2009, essentially the same pace as last year. Total ad
valorem assessed valuation increased by approximately $478 million or approximately 10.5
percent for fiscal year 2009 over fiscal year 2008. Commercial development continued to occur
with new and redevelopment construction, including a few significant new developments breaking
ground.
The City of College Station’s major asset is being the home of Texas A&M University (TAMU).
TAMU is located on an approximately 5,200 acre campus within the City. TAMU has a significant
economic impact on the City, contributing over a billion dollars annually to the local economy.
TAMU has consistently ranked among the top 50 universities in the United States. Each year,
TAMU's approximately 2,500 faculty members conduct an estimated $450 million worth of
sponsored research projects. Student enrollment at TAMU was 48,702 as of September 2009.
TAMU employs more than 20,000 full-time and part-time staff.
2009 Major Accomplishments
Below are highlight accomplishments for 2009.
• Adoption of the Comprehensive Plan update: This update ensures that the City's
goals and strategies are consistent with the community vision and sets the stage for
ensuring that development activities and public expenditures further promote these goals.
• Maintaining a Balanced Budget in Economic Slowdown: The City cut expenditures
significantly in order to handle the reduction in revenue in fiscal year 2009. We continue
to monitor the economy locally and anticipate that the effects of the slow economy will be
with us for at least another year.
• Chimney Hill / Convention Center: The City purchased the Chimney Hill Retail Plaza
during 2009 and City staff worked with the current tenants while laying the groundwork
for redevelopment of a portion of the property as the City’s planned Convention Center.
The City is proceeding with an update to the Convention Center feasibility study and
market analysis to be conducted by a qualified firm. It is anticipated that the results of the
study will be completed and presented in 2010.
ix
• Red Light Camera Election and Removal: A special election was held in which the
majority of voters elected to take down the City’s red light camera program. Despite legal
challenges from outside parties, the system was removed.
• Automated Street Light Monitoring System: In May, the Electric Department
completed Phase 1 of the installation which included about 2,000 lights along major
thoroughfares. The system provides street light outage information, system diagnostics,
and controlling “on-off” times for the lights. Once installation is complete, this system will
provide energy savings and efficiencies equivalent to taking almost 40 vehicles off the
road per year.
• New Equipment for the Fire Department: The Fire Department received several new
Fire and Emergency Medical emergency response vehicles. The need for some of this
equipment was generated by previous annexations; and these purchases fulfill
commitments made at that time. The department received through the budget process (2)
new Fire Pumpers, (1) new Fire Tanker, (1) new Grass Firefighting vehicle and (2) new
Advanced Life Support Ambulances.
• Environmental Awareness – One of the biggest achievements in this area was the
award of $791,100 through the federal stimulus program. Projects to be funded through
the Department of Energy grant include an extensive amount of park retrofits, more
hybrid vehicles in our fleet and the hiring of a sustainability coordinator whose primary
task will be to focus the City’s environmental programs. Other environmental activities
accomplished this past year include:
• Adoption of revised Building and Energy Codes – This update ensures that the
City's codes remain current and that buildings constructed in College Station are as
safe and energy efficient as possible.
• Green Parks and Recreation – PARD began the effort of becoming one of the
leading “Green Parks and Recreation Departments” in the state within the next three
years, began design and project orientation for the use of more trees in City projects
and developed a water conservation program for parks and other municipal facilities.
• Water Reclamation/Irrigation – The City began design on its reclaimed water
system to provide water from Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant for
irrigation at Veteran’s Park and Athletic Complex.
• Water Auditor is Hired – The City hired a water auditor whose duties include
contacting residences and businesses with high water usage to evaluate and suggest
possible water conservation techniques.
• Texas Avenue Corridor Progression Study – Early this year after the Texas
Avenue improvements were complete, TxDOT returned the operation of the traffic
signals back to the City. Staff worked to implement signal operations that improve
traffic progression along the corridor, and travel times were reduced an average of
24%.
• New Lighting Programs for Residential and Commercial Customers – College
Station Utilities Energy Services launched two new lighting programs this year. The
Compact Fluorescent Lighting (CFL) program assists residents in the purchase of
CFLs by rebating $1.00 per purchase up to 4 annually. The Green Light Lighting
Program rebates commercial customers for retrofitting existing lighting fixtures with
efficient ballasts and lamps that can reduce lighting load by nearly one half.
• Economic and Community Development
• Planning and development of Lynntech Science Park.
x
• Facilitating a new public-private partnership, mixed-use development on Holleman
Drive.
• Developing a plan for the Medical Corridor/District study.
• Expansion of the City’s New Construction Program into south College Station.
• Capital Projects Completed in 2009 – 2009 saw the completion of many of the
remaining projects from the 2003 bond issue.
o Aggie Field of Honor/College Station Memorial Cemetery
o College Park/Breezy Heights Neighborhood Utility and Street Rehabilitation
Project
o Expansion of William D. Fitch (Pebble Creek Parkway to Rock Prairie)

OTHER INFORMATION
Independent Audit
Section 37 of the City's Charter requires that not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of each
fiscal year, the City Council shall designate a qualified public accountant or accountants who, as
of the end of the fiscal year, shall make an independent audit of accounts and other evidences of
financial transactions of the city government and shall submit the report to the City Council. Such
accountants shall have no personal interest, direct or indirect, in the fiscal affairs of the city
government. They shall not maintain any account or record of the city business, but, within
specifications approved by the City Council, shall post-audit the books and documents kept by
the Department of Fiscal Services and any separate or subordinate accounts kept by any other
office, department or agency of the city government.
The City of College Station has engaged Ingram, Wallis & Company, Certified Public
Accountants, of Bryan, Texas to perform the audit, and their opinion has been included in this
report. It should be noted that the auditors included all funds in their audit, performed their audit
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards, and concluded, based upon the
audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City of
College Station's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 are fairly

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
This section of the City of College Station's (the “City”) Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
presents a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2009. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here
in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities
at the close of the most recent fiscal year by
$387,464,497 (net assets). Of this amount,
$98,480,776 (unrestricted net assets) may
be used to meet the government's ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors.
The City's total net assets increased by
$15,852,406 during the fiscal year.
At the close of the current fiscal year, the
City's governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of
$53,394,991, a decrease of $19,512,525
when compared to the prior year.
Approximately 15.2 percent of the combined
governmental funds ending fund balance, or
$8,102,443 is available for spending at the
City's discretion (unassigned fund balance).
During fiscal year 2009, the City's total debt
increased by approximately $34,650,000.
Key factors in this increase were the
issuance of $3,335,000 in General
Obligation Improvement Bonds and
$31,315,000 in business-purpose and
governmental Certificates of Obligation.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial
statements. The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three components:
(1) Government-wide financial statements
(2) Fund financial statements
(3) Notes to the financial statements.
This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial
statements themselves.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview
of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with
the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net
assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether or not the financial position of the City is
improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the
underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in
cash flows in future fiscal periods, such as revenues pertaining to uncollected taxes and
expenses pertaining to earned but unused vacation.
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from
other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user
fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include
general government, fiscal services, police, information technology, planning and development,
fire, municipal services, streets, drainage, traffic, parks and recreation, and citizen and
neighborhood resources. The business-type activities of the City include electric, water,
wastewater, sanitation, and the northgate parking garage. The government-wide financial
statements can be found on pages 23-25.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have
been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local
governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related
legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into governmental funds and
proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-
term inflows and outflows of spendable resources as well as on balances of spendable resources
available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in determining what
financial resources are available in the near future to finance the City's programs.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term
financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
The City maintains several individual governmental funds organized according to their type
(special revenue, debt service, and capital projects). Information is presented separately in the
governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund, and
Streets Projects Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the remaining
governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for
each of the non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements
elsewhere in this report. The governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 26-
29.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund, Debt Service Fund, Special
Revenue Funds, and Capital Projects Funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been
provided for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund, Special Revenue Funds, and Capital Projects
Funds to demonstrate compliance with their budgets.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary funds are generally used to account for services for which the City charges
customers--either outside customers or internal units or departments of the City. Proprietary
funds provide the same type of information as shown in the government-wide financial
statements, only in more detail. The City maintains the following two types of proprietary funds:
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type
activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to
account for the operations of the electric, water, wastewater, sanitation, and parking
activities of the City. The Electric, Water, and Wastewater funds are considered to be
major funds of the City, while the remaining funds (Sanitation and Northgate Parking
Garage) are presented in aggregate as non-major enterprise funds. Individual fund data
for the non-major enterprise funds can be found in the form of combining statements
elsewhere in this report.
Internal service funds are used to report activities that provide supplies and services for
certain City programs and activities. The City uses internal service funds to account for
communication, fleet maintenance and utility customer services. It also uses internal
service funds to account for equipment replacement; employee benefits; and
unemployment, workers' compensation, and property and casualty insurance. All of
these services, with the exception of utility customer service, predominantly benefit
governmental rather than business-type functions and have been included within
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. The Utility
Customer Service Fund has been included with the business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. The internal service funds are combined into a
single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual
fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements
elsewhere in this report.
The proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 30-33.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net assets may serve as a useful indicator of a government's financial position.
For the City, assets exceeded liabilities by $387,464,497 at the close of the most recent fiscal
year.
The largest portion of the City's net assets (57 percent) reflects its investment of $220,400,862 in
capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, and equipment), less any related outstanding debt used to
acquire those assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens;
consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment
in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to
repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot
be liquidated for these liabilities.

able to report positive balances in all three categories of net assets, both for the government as a
whole, as well as for the business-type activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal
year. The City's net assets increased by $15,852,406 as a result of fiscal year 2009 operations.
The increase is primarily attributable to increases in ongoing revenues and relatively stable
expenses.
The following table provides a summary of the City's operations for the year ended September
30, 2009 and highlights key elements of the increase in the City's net assets:

Governmental activities. Governmental activities increased the City of College Station's net assets
by $2,927,171 thereby accounting for 18.5 percent of the total growth in net assets. Key elements of
this increase are as follows:
Property taxes increased $2,045,919 (10.4 percent) during the year. This is primarily the
result of the total ad valorem assessed valuations increasing by $478 million or 10.5
percent over fiscal year 2008.
Sales and mixed beverage taxes decreased $368,760 (1.8 percent) during the year. This
is attributable to the slowdown in the economy seen during the year.
Interest and investment income decreased $1,972,413 (58.3%) due to continued low
interest rates on investments.
Charges for Services increased by $1,956,884 (16.8 percent) during the year. This is
primarily due to changes made with ambulance collection services resulting in higher
unavailable deferred revenue.
The chart below illustrates the City's governmental revenues by source. For governmental
activities overall without regard to program, property tax (28 percent) and sales tax (24 percent)
are the largest sources of funds followed by charges for services (17 percent), and grants and
contributions (6 percent). All other governmental revenues account for 25 percent of all
governmental revenues.

assets by $12,348,655, thereby accounting for 77.9 percent of the total growth in net assets. Key
elements of this increase are as follows:
With the continued growth in the area, capital contributions continued to be a major
source of revenue for the electric, water, and wastewater funds. In fiscal year 2009
capital contributions amounted to $6,846,033.
Electric utility expenses saw an increase of $6,955,369 or 9.9% percent from fiscal year
2008. This is primarily attributable to increased purchased power expenses.
Charges for services increased by $10,552,587 or 9.6 percent from fiscal year 2008 due
to utility rate increases.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY'S FUNDS
As noted previously, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows,
outflows, and balances of resources that are available for spending. Such information is useful in
assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as
a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal
year. The types of governmental funds reported by the City include the General Fund and the
Debt Service Fund. Other governmental funds of the City are reported as non-major funds.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of $53,394,991. Approximately 15.2 percent ($8,102,443) of this total amount
constitutes unassigned fund balance and is available for spending at the City's discretion. The
remainder of fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because
it has already been committed as follows:
Nonspendable $922,044
Restricted $39,470,588
Committed $2,627,403
Assigned $2,272,513
A detailed breakdown of the fund balance reserve can be found in Note IV. H. Reservations of
Fund Balances.
Overall, revenues for governmental functions totaled $63,905,979 in the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2009, an increase of 2.1 percent or $1,325,437 from the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2008. Expenditures for governmental functions totaling $107,925,893 increased
by approximately 19.3 percent ($17,454,287) from the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. In
fiscal year 2009, expenditures for governmental functions exceeded revenues by $44,019,914.
That amount was 57.8 percent more than the previous year's amount of $27,891,064 and due to
an increase in capital outlay expenditures in fiscal year 2009 over 2008.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of College Station. At the end of the
current fiscal year, the unassigned fund balance was $7,557,419 while the total fund balance was
$9,378,429. The City's fiscal and budgetary policies require that the General Fund's fund balance
be at least equal to 15 percent of budgeted expenditures, a percentage equal to 55 days of
expenditures. The total fund balance is approximately 17.2 percent of fiscal year 2009 amended
budgeted expenditures and exceeds the minimum requirement set by policy.
As a measure of the fund's liquidity, it is useful to compare both unassigned and total fund
balance to total fund actual expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 13.0 percent of
total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 16.2 percent of total general
fund expenditures. The total fund balance for the general fund continues to meet and exceed the
Fiscal and Budgetary Policy of having 15 percent of expenditures available in fund balance.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
The General Fund’s fund balance decreased by $2,606,960 during the current fiscal year. The
key factors in this change follow:
The fiscal year 2009 original budget anticipated a reduction in fund balance for the
purchase of one time equipment, and the completion of one time projects.
Sales tax revenues came in lower than anticipated in fiscal year 2009.
Overall expenditures were up by approximately 12 percent, due to:
o Increases in fuel, transportation costs and petroleum based products, and
o Salary and benefit cost increases due to filling additional full time equivalent
positions including police and fire personnel, and due to increases in the pay plan
and in retirement costs.
The Debt Service Fund ended the fiscal year with a fund balance of $3,901,210. This entire
amount is reserved for the payment of debt service. The net increase in fund balance during the
current fiscal year was $83,516. An $888,025 increase in debt service revenues was more than
enough to cover principal retirements and interest payments.
Proprietary Funds
The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide
financial statements but in more detail.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City's proprietary funds reported combined ending net
assets of $195,379,608. 22.5 percent ($44,632,788) of this total amount constitutes unrestricted
net assets. The remainder of net assets for the proprietary funds, $150,746,820, is reported as
follows:
(1) Invested in capital assets, net of related debt ($130,460,673),
(2) Restricted for Inventories ($1,528,714)
(3) Restricted for debt service ($1,590,977), and
(4) Restricted for Capital Projects ($17,166,456).
Operating revenues for proprietary activities totaled $116,291,459 for the fiscal year, an increase
of 8.6 percent or $9,226,723 from the previous fiscal year. Operating expenses increased
$7,468,371 or 8.3 percent for the same period causing operating income to increase $1,758,352
or 10.2 percent from the previous year. The proprietary funds reported net non-operating
expenses of $857,774 at the end of fiscal year 2009 as compared to net non-operating expenses
of $537,409 in the previous fiscal year. Net assets increased $12,127,078 in fiscal year 2009.
This is $552,914 more than the increase reported in fiscal year 2008.

Electric Fund
At the end of the fiscal year, the unrestricted net assets for the Electric Fund totaled $12,564,355.
The electric utility ended the fiscal year with working capital (current assets minus current liabilities)
of $9,522,549, a decrease of 6.3 percent from fiscal year 2008. The City’s policy with regard to its
enterprise funds is to maintain at least 15 percent of annual operating expenses in working capital,
a percentage equal to 55 days of expenses. At September 30, 2009, Electric Fund working capital
equaled approximately 12.6 percent of annual operating expenses.
Electric Fund operating revenues increased by 7.8 percent ($5,996,871) during fiscal year 2009,
while operating expenses increased 10.0 percent ($6,868,349) during the same period. This
resulted in operating income of $6,878,123 which is an 11.2 percent decrease ($871,478) in
operating income in fiscal year 2009 over fiscal year 2008. The decrease in operating income is
also attributable to an increase in operating expense due to anticipated higher purchased power
costs. The above resulted in a decrease in net assets of $1,274,048 in the Electric Fund during
the fiscal year.
Water Fund
Unrestricted net assets for the Water Fund at September 30, 2009 were $17,069,556. Working
capital in the Water Fund at the end of fiscal year 2009 was $11,388,792, an increase of
approximately 91.5 percent from fiscal year 2009. Water Fund working capital was 160.2 percent
of total operating expense and exceeds the minimum 15 percent requirement under the Council's
adopted policy.
Water Fund operating revenues increased by 19.3 percent ($2,289,286) during fiscal year 2009.
Operating expenses of $7,108,101 increased 5.2 percent ($354,524) over fiscal year 2008. This
resulted in operating income of $6,993,718 which was an increase of $1,934,762 in fiscal year 2009
over fiscal year 2008. The Water Fund's net assets increased $7,855,009 during the fiscal year, a
75.8 percent increase over the previous year.
Wastewater Fund
The Wastewater Fund's unrestricted net assets at the end of fiscal year 2009 were $10,351,718.
The Wastewater Fund ended the fiscal year with a working capital balance of $7,120,107, which
was 4.0 percent above fiscal year 2008. Fiscal year 2009 Wastewater Fund working capital was
88.0 percent of total operating expenses and is well above the minimum requirement for the fund.
Operating revenues in the Wastewater Fund were $11,655,528, a $470,963 (4.2 percent) increase
over the previous fiscal year. Operating expenses increased from $7,476,022 to $8,089,816 or 8.2
percent while operating income decreased by 3.9 percent from $3,708,543 to $3,565,712.

BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The final amended budget for fiscal year 2009 totaled $264,803,632 for all funds. Of this amount
$203,906,308 (77.0 percent) was budgeted for operations and maintenance expenditures, and
$60,897,324 (23.0 percent) was budgeted for capital improvement projects.
In the General Fund the final amended budget showed a reduction in fund balance of $1,313,605.
The actual change in fund balance was $1,799,504, or $485,899 higher than the final amended
budgeted change. The following are some of the key factors in the change in fund balance:
($1,120,680) – Lower sales tax revenues than originally budgeted due to slowdown in
the economy.
($236,914) – Lower investment income than forecasted due to lower interest earnings on
investments
($390,619) – Lower expenditures related to economic development incentive outlays that
were budgeted in fiscal year 2009.
Strategic planning is a driving force in the preparation of the City's budget. The City Council has
identified the following areas of strategic priority:
Citywide Safety and Security
Effective Communications
Growing Sustainable Revenue Sources Balanced with Needs
Destination Place to Live and Work
Exceptional Multi Modal Mobility
Sustainable Quality City Workforce
Exceptional Infrastructure and Core Services
Diverse Growing Economy
Neighborhood Integrity
Green College Station
Budget resources were included in fiscal year 2009 to address these priorities.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS AND RATES
The City of College Station’s growth slowed in fiscal year 2009 making the fiscal year 2010 budget
a challenging one to prepare. The following are some key fiscal and economic indicators for College
Station including:
18
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
An estimated population increase of 75 percent for the period of 1990 through June 2009,
An approximate $367 million, or 7.31%, increase to the ad valorem tax base for fiscal year
2010,
A local economy that has maintained an annual unemployment rate of less than 5 percent since
1990, but has seen higher unemployment of 6% in 2009, though still one of the lowest in the
State of Texas.
Sales and mixed drink beverage tax revenue that grew by 10 percent during the 2008 fiscal
year, but has fallen by 1.8 in fiscal year 2009.
College Station has felt the effects of the national economic slowdown in fiscal year 2009. Part of
the reason the City has not seen a bigger economic impact is because of the major influence of
Texas A&M University on the local economy.
The key focus of the Fiscal Year 2010 budget was to provide the core services for the citizens and
visitors of College Station with very limited revenue resources, in an uncertain economy. With the
effects of the national economy finally being felt at the local level, this was a very challenging
budget to prepare. Revenue streams that in the past saw steady and consistent growth are flat and
even declining in some cases. Sales tax revenues, the largest revenue stream in the General
Fund, have been declining. The ad valorem tax rate for the 2010 fiscal year is $0.4394 per $100
valuation ($0.209967 for operations and maintenance and $0.229433 for debt service). This tax
rate will meet the debt service obligations of the City and provide operations and maintenance
funding in the General Fund.
It will be necessary to closely monitor economic conditions this fiscal year, and if sales tax and other
revenues do not perform as forecasted, then some of the proposals in the budget will be delayed, or
will not occur.
Budget reductions were made in fiscal year 2009 and in the fiscal year 2010 budget. The fiscal
year 2009 General Fund budget was reduced by $954,175. The fiscal year 2010 base budget was
reduced by $1.9 million., and of this amount $1.2 million was reduced from the General Fund.
These reductions required careful consideration, and were made with as little impact on services as
possible. These reductions were necessary in order to ensure expenditures will not exceed lower
than anticipated revenues.
The 2010 budget includes a 9 percent increase in the Electric Fund. This rate increase is needed to
continue the planned increases in purchased power costs that have been phased in over the last
several years. The 2010 budget does not include a rate increase in the Water Fund, Wastewater
Fund, Sanitation Fund, or Drainage Utility Fund.
The fiscal year 2010 budget for capital improvements totals $53,210,063. The City anticipates
significant expenditures for infrastructure projects throughout the city. These projects include
rehabilitation of utilities, drainage ways, and streets. In November 2008, voters approved
$76,950,000 in future General Obligation Bonds authorization for streets, traffic, fire station projects,
the library expansion project, and parks and recreation projects. Some of the more significant
upcoming capital projects are as follows (amounts presented reflect appropriations over the life of
the project):
Holleman Drive Extension ($2 million),
Discovery Drive Extension ($2 million),
Victoria Avenue Extension ($2.5 million)
Penberthy Extension ($3.4 million)

to the Statement of Net Assets
September 30, 2009
Total Fund Balance per balance sheet:53,394,991$

resources and, therefore, are not reported in the
governmental funds balance sheet. Includes capital
assets of the Internal Service Funds.214,833,592
Other assets are not available to pay for current-period
expenditures and, therefore, are deferred in the funds.3,684,498

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances
Governmental Funds
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
28
Net change in fund balance - total governmental funds:(19,512,525)$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the government-wide
statement of activities the cost of those assets are allocated over their estimated
useful lives as depreciation expense. This is the amount of capital assets
recorded in the current period.32,308,551
The effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (e.g., sales, trade ins,
and contributions) is to increase net assets.469,736
Depreciation expense on capital assets is reported in the government-wide statement of
activities, but they do not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, depreciation
expense is not reported as expenditure in governmental funds.(11,522,036)
Some property tax, intergovernmental and ambulance revenues will not be collected for several
months after the the city's fiscal year end. These are not considered "available" revenues
in the governmental funds until received. Change in amount deferred on the governmental fund
statements.1,666,796
Plot spaces in the Memorial Cemetery and Aggie Field of Honor became available for sale
during the fiscal year. These amounts had been expensed in prior years in the
governmental funds and held in construction in process in the government wide balance
sheet. Assets held for resale sold during the fiscal year.(462,872)
The issuance of long-term debt (i.e., bonds, certificates of obligation) provides current
financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term
debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction,
however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance
costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas the amounts are
deferred and amoritized in the statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of these
differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items.
Bonds issued (3,335,000)$
Certificates of Obligation issued (6,480,000)
Bond principal retirement 4,885,000
Certificate of Obligation principal retirement 3,050,000
Amortization of deferred charges (9,352)
Amortization of bond premiums/discounts 6,228
Amortization of bond refunding losses (8,255) (1,891,379)
Payment of compensated absences is reported as an expenditure in the governmental funds when
actually paid. However, on the government-wide statement of changes in net assets,
compensated absences are expensed as they are accrued. Change in the compensated
absences liability.(170,605)
Accrued interest expense on long-term debt is reported in the government-wide statement of
activities, but does not require the use of current financial resources; therefore, accrued interest
expense is not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. Change in accrued interest.(20,790)
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as
insurance, fleet maintenance, and equipment replacement to individual funds. The net revenue
of the internal service funds is reported with governmental activities net of the amount
allocated to business-type activities and depreciation expense.
Change in net assets (72,255)$
Net amount allocated to business activities (221,577)
Depreciation expense 2,356,127 2,062,295
Change in Net Assets of governmental activities:2,927,171$

City of College Station, Texas
I. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City of College Station, Texas ("City"), the financial reporting entity presented in these
financial statements, was incorporated in 1938 and is a municipal corporation incorporated
under the provisions of H.B. 901 of the Texas Legislature. The City operates under a Council-
Manager form of government and provides such services as authorized by its charter to
advance the welfare, health, comfort, safety and convenience of the City and its inhabitants.
The City of College Station entered into a joint venture in 1990 with the City of Bryan, Texas
creating the Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management Agency ("BVSWMA"). BVSWMA was
formed to combine landfill operations for the two cities. It is subject to joint control, and each
City reports a 50% interest in BVSWMA. The City's equity interest in BVSWMA is reported in
the Sanitation Fund. (See Note V-C).
The financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") as applied to state and local governments. The more significant
of the City's accounting policies are described below.
B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (e.g., the statement of net assets and the statement
of activities) report information on all of the activities of the City. For the most part, the effect of
interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which
normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from
business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses for a given
function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include (1) charges to
customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services or
privileges provided by a given function or segment and (2) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment.
Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as
general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as
separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to when
revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial
statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of
the measurement focus applied.
The government-wide financial statements and fund financial statements for proprietary funds
are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of
accounting. The economic resources measurement focus means all assets and liabilities
(whether current or noncurrent) are included on the statement of net assets and the operating
statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets.
35
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred,
regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in
the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon
as all eligibility requirements have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual
basis of accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and
available. “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined and
“available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to
pay liabilities of the current period. The City considers revenues to be available if they are
collected within 30 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures are generally
recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service
expenditures, as well as expenditures related to vacation, claims, and judgments, are recorded
only when payment is due.
Property taxes, other local taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period
are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and, therefore, have been recognized as
revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable
and available only when the City receives cash.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another
fund. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or
contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General
operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid
through other funds are paid from the General Fund.
During the fiscal year, the City re-organized its fund structure to classify certain funds
previously classified as General Fund as Special Revenue Fund. Please refer to the
Supplementary Information for a reconciliation of the General Fund as previously reported
to the General Fund as currently reported.
The Debt Service Fund accounts for the financial resources that are restricted, committed,
or assigned to expenditure for the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt paid
primarily from taxes levied by the City. Financial resources that are being accumulated for
principal and interest in future years are also reported in the Debt Service Fund.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Electric Fund accounts for the activities necessary to provide electric services to the
residents of the City. These activities include administration, distribution system operations
and maintenance, transmission system operations and maintenance, new construction,
and financing and related debt service. Billing and collection services are accounted for as
an internal service fund.
The Water Fund accounts for the activities necessary to provide water services to the
residents of the City. These activities include administrative services, water production and
distribution system operations and maintenance, new construction, financing and related
debt service. Billing and collection services are accounted for as an internal service fund.
36
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
The Wastewater Fund accounts for the activities necessary to provide sewer collection and
treatment services to the residents of the City. These activities include administrative
services, wastewater system operations and maintenance, new construction, financing and
related debt service. Billing and collection services are accounted for as an internal service
fund.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds account for activities related to the operation and maintenance of
the City's radio and telephone systems; administration of health insurance provided to City
employees; the City's risk management activities, including general liability, unemployment,
and workers' compensation claims and associated administrative expenses on a cost
reimbursement basis; utility billing and collection activities related to the City's electric,
water, and wastewater utilities and residential and commercial garbage collection; activities
related to the management of the City's vehicles and heavy equipment, including
preventative maintenance and vehicle repair; and activities related to the purchase and
replacement of vehicles and large motorized equipment, telephone and radio systems, and
technological infrastructure equipment not budgeted in other funds.
In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the City adopted the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board Statement (GASBS) number 54, “Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental
Fund Type Definitions.” The following descriptions of Special Revenue, Capital Projects and
Permanent Funds are based on the direction given by GASBS 54.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific
revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes
other than debt service or capital projects. The term proceeds of specific revenue sources
establishes that one or more specific restricted or committed revenues should be the
foundation for a special revenue fund. The restricted or committed proceeds of specific
revenue are expected to continue to comprise a substantial portion of the inflows reported
in the fund.
During the fiscal year, the City re-organized its fund structure to classify certain funds
previously classified as General Fund as Special Revenue Funds. These funds (and their
restricting legislation) include the Court Technology Fee Fund (Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure, Article 102.0172), the Court Security Fee Fund (Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure, Article 102.017), the Juvenile Case Manager Fee Fund (Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure, Article 102.0174), and the Police Seizure Fund (federal law and Public
Health Laws, Title 71, Article 4476-15, Section 503).
Capital Projects Funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are
restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the
acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets. Capital projects
funds exclude those types of capital-related outflows financed by proprietary funds. During
the fiscal year, the City reclassified as Special Revenue Funds certain funds previously
reported as Capital Projects Funds.
Permanent Funds are used to account for and report resources that are restricted to the
extent that only earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support the
reporting government’s programs – that is, for the benefit of the government or its citizenry.
In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the City reclassified to Special Revenue
Funds the Cemetery Perpetual Care Funds that they had reported in prior years as
Permanent Funds.
37
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
Private sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,
1989, generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following
subsequent private sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds,
subject to this same limitation. The City has elected to not follow subsequent private sector
guidance.
In general, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this rule are payments-in-lieu of taxes, indirect costs and
franchise fees, and other charges between the City's Electric, Water, and Wastewater Funds
because elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues
reported in the Statement of Activities.
Amounts reported as program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given
function or segment and (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items
not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with
the fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's
enterprise and internal service funds are charges for customer services including electric,
water, wastewater, and sanitation fees, equipment purchase amounts, and risk management
charges. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of
services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to
use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are short term highly liquid investments that are (a) readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and (b) so near their maturity that they present
insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Therefore, for
purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents (including restricted
assets) include demand accounts, investment pools, money market mutual funds, and agency
securities notes with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.
All cash, except for petty cash accounts, is deposited with the City's depository bank in interest
bearing accounts or is invested.
The City uses a pooling method to account for cash and cash equivalents. Equity in cash and
cash equivalents and interest income from the cash pool is allocated to the participating funds
on a monthly basis. The amount of the allocation is determined by calculating a ratio of each
fund's equity in the pool to the total pool.
38
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
Investments
Investments are made in accordance with the City's Investment Policy which was adopted by
the City Council in October 2008. This policy is applicable to all City funds and permits
investment in obligations of the U.S. Government or its agencies, repurchase agreements,
commercial paper, certificates of deposit, guaranteed investment contracts, public funds
investment pools, and money market mutual funds. This policy states that the City Manager
shall designate the City’s Investment Officer with whom responsibility and authority for
investment transactions reside.
The investments purchased under the provisions of the Investment Policy are managed to
maintain liquidity for meeting the City's needs for cash and to limit potential market risks in
periods of rising interest rates which depress the market value of securities. As a guideline,
maturity of securities should not exceed five years for cash management purposes, with an
optimum weighted average maturity of less than two years. Investments in securities of a
longer maturity than two years are considered prudent for funds maintained for capital
construction and debt service funds, if necessary to meet projected disbursement schedules.
As a general guideline, the City’s cash management portfolio is designed with the objective of
meeting, over the course of full market cycles, the average return on three-month U.S. Treasury
Bills, or the average rate of federal funds, whichever is higher. These indices are considered
benchmarks for riskless investment transactions and therefore comprise a standard for the
portfolio's rate of return. The investment program seeks to augment rates of return above this
level. In a diversified portfolio, measured losses are inevitable and must be considered within
the context of the overall portfolio. The objective in investment of construction funds is at least
to match inflation increases in construction costs.
Active portfolio management includes the practice of selling securities prior to maturity and
using the proceeds to purchase other securities. Such "swaps" are performed for a variety of
valid reasons: to lengthen maturities as interest rates rise, to secure market profits and shorten
maturities as interest rates fall, and to take advantage of the differences in relative yield
between different types of securities and varying maturities. "Swap" analysis is the
responsibility of the City's Investment Officer and the decision to execute the "swap" rests with
her. To protect the portfolio from imprudent trading, no security may be sold until such time as
the current market value of the security plus interest earned from date of purchase is at least
equal to the purchase price of that security.
State statutes authorize the City to invest in fully-insured time deposits, direct debt securities of
the United States or its agencies, and fully collateralized repurchase agreements. The
repurchase agreements must be purchased pursuant to a master repurchase agreement which
specifies that the transaction be held in a safekeeping account subject to the control and
custody of the City.
Investments in security repurchase agreements may be made only with the City's depository
bank, with state or national banks domiciled in the state of Texas, or with securities dealers
reporting to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("Primary Dealers"). All securities are
purchased delivery-vs.-payment and held in the City's name in a safekeeping account at The
Bank of New York.
Investments of all funds consist mainly of Agency securities, a money market mutual fund with
Fidelity, and investments in Texpool’s public funds investment pool. Investments are stated at
fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools.
39
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
The City also uses a pooling method to account for investments. Equity in investments and
interest income from the investment pool is allocated to the participating funds on a monthly
basis and is determined by calculating a ratio of each fund's equity in the investment pool to the
total pool.
GASB Statement No. 31 provides that governmental entities may report all investments at fair
value or they may elect to report certain money market investments and participating interest-
earning investment contracts at amortized cost. The City has elected to report all investments
at fair value.
Inventories, Assets Held for Resale and Prepaid Costs
Inventories are accounted for using the consumption method and are valued at year-end based
on cost, with cost determined using an average cost method.
Assets held for resale include redevelopment properties, properties purchased and constructed
with the express intent of resale. These assets are reported at cost in the governmental funds.
Cemetery plots are another example of assets held for resale in the governmental funds. City
ordinance stipulates the percentage of the cemetery plot sale to be allocated to the operational
fund. These assets held for resale in the non-major governmental Community Development
and Cemetery funds are reported as inventory in the financial statements. With construction of
the City’s new Memorial Cemetery and Aggie Field of Honor finalizing in fiscal year 2009, the
actual inventory of cemetery plots was adjusted out of construction in progress in the
conversion of the fund statements to the government wide statements.
Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond September 30, 2009,
are recorded as prepaid costs with a reserve for prepaid items recognized in the governmental
funds in the fund level financial statements to signify that a portion of fund balance is not
available for other subsequent expenditures.
Interfund Transactions and Receivables/Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding
at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current
portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of
interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from
other funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and
business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal
balances."
Transactions between Funds
The City allocates an indirect cost percentage of administrative services paid through the
General Fund along with other indirect costs deemed necessary for the operation of the
proprietary funds, internal service funds and the other governmental funds. During the Year
ended September 30, 2009, the City allocated $3,842,917 as a transfer for such services.
Restricted Assets
In the Enterprise Funds, proceeds of utility revenue bonds and certificates of obligation, as well
as resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance
sheet because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. In addition, customer utility
deposits are classified as restricted assets because the deposit remains the property of the
40
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
customer and is not available for operations. In the General Fund, restricted assets are
comprised of Municipal Court cash bonds.
Investment in Joint Venture
The Proprietary Funds' investment in joint venture is recorded using the equity method of
accounting. Required disclosures concerning the joint venture are presented in Note V-C.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-
type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined
by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful
life in excess of three years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical
cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market
value at the date of donation.
Assets owned by the electric utility are capitalized in accordance with Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) guidelines. Furthermore, assets owned by either the water or
wastewater utilities are capitalized in accordance with the National Association of Regulatory
Utility Commissioners (NARUC) guidelines. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that
do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the asset's useful life are not
capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 71, interest is not
capitalized during construction of capital assets of business-type activities because interest is
recovered currently in the City's established rate structure.
Depreciation of all assets is recorded and calculated using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:
Electric System 1-50 Years
Water System 2-50 Years
Wastewater System 2-50 Years
Infrastructure 10-50 Years
Buildings and Building Improvements 5-50 Years
Land Improvements 10-45 Years
Machinery and Equipment 5-20 Years
Motor Vehicles 3-12 Years
Furniture, Fixtures and Office Equipment 5-20 Years
Compensated Absences
Employees are credited with vacation at rates of 10 to 20 days per year, depending upon length
of service. Carryover of unused vacation time from one year to the next is allowed for a
maximum of two years. Upon termination, the respective employees are paid for any accrued
vacation not taken (up to the two-year maximum). Accumulated vacation is accrued when
earned in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. No liability has been
recorded in the governmental fund financial statements.
Employees are credited with sick leave at the rate of one day per month. There is no maximum
to the number of sick days that each employee can accumulate. Because the City does not
41
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
pay employees for unused accumulated sick leave, no related liability has been recorded in the
financial statements.
Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements for the
proprietary fund types, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities
in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund statement
of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and
amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported
net of the applicable bond premium or discount and deferred amounts on refundings. Bond
issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related
debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt
issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are
reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other
financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds
received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance classifications that
comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds
can be spent. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the City adopted the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASBS) number 54, “Fund Balance Reporting and
Governmental Fund Type Definitions.” GASBS 54 provides for and the City uses the following
classifications:
Nonspendable Fund Balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in
spendable form. The “not in spendable form” criterion includes items that are not expected to
be converted to cash, for example, inventories and prepaid amounts. It also includes the long-
term amount of loans receivable as well as property acquired for resale.
Restricted Fund Balance is reported when constraints placed on the use of resources are either
(a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed Fund Balance includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes
pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest level of decision-
making authority. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the
government removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action (for
example, resolution or ordinance) it employed to previously commit these amounts.
Assigned Fund Balance includes amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be
used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the
governing body itself or a body (a budget or finance committee, for example) or official to which
the governing body has delegated the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific
purposes. Assignments may not result in a deficit in Unassigned Fund Balance.
Unassigned Fund Balance is the residual classification for the General Fund. This classification
represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has not been
restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the General Fund. In other
42
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
governmental funds, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceeded the amounts
restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative
unassigned fund balance.
E. Budgetary Control
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data:
1. Prior to September 1, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating
budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1. The operating budget
includes proposed expenditures and the means for financing them.
2. All budget requests are compiled by the Office of Budget and Strategic Planning and then
presented with comparative and supporting data to the Mayor and City Council for review.
3. Public hearings are properly advertised and conducted at City Hall for taxpayer comments.
4. Prior to September 27, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.
5. The City Council must approve all transfers of budgeted amounts between departments
within any fund and any revision that alters the total expenditures of any fund. An amount
is also budgeted each year for contingencies which may arise. The Council has authorized
the City Manager to make budget transfers for contingencies if the amount does not exceed
$15,000. All other transfers must be approved by City Council. City Council may transfer
amounts among individual budget line items within major expenditure categories during the
year, but no such transfer may increase the overall total budget. Budgeted amounts as
originally adopted were not significantly changed by such transfers during the year.
6. In accordance with the City Charter, the budget may be amended after the following
conditions are met: (a) The City Manager certifies that there are available revenues in
excess of those estimated in the budget. (b) The City Council holds a public hearing on
the supplemental appropriation. (c) The City Council approves the supplemental
appropriation. Management may not amend the budget without seeking the approval of the
City Council.
F. Budget Basis of Accounting
The City prepares its annual budget on a basis (budget basis) which differs from a GAAP basis.
The budget and all transactions are presented in accordance with the City’s method (budget
basis) in the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance – Budget
and Actual - General Fund to provide a meaningful comparison of actual results with the
budget. The differences between budget and GAAP basis in the General Fund are that
reimbursements and transfers of indirect costs are shown as Reimbursed Administration.
In the budgets for the Community Development fund, a nonmajor governmental special
revenue fund, loans made to program recipients are treated as expenditures in the fund for
budget purposes. Additionally, assets held for resale are treated as expenditures for budget
purposes.
II. Minimum Fund Balance/Operating Reserve Policies
The unobligated (unassigned) fund balance in the General Fund should be at least 15% of the
annual budgeted General Fund expenditures. This percentage is the equivalent of 55 days
expenditure. An additional amount of 3.0% should be maintained for extraordinary items or
43
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
contingencies. Cash and investments alone should be equivalent to 30 days operating
expenditure.

The City intends to retire all of its general long-term liabilities, plus interest, from ad valorem
taxes. The proprietary fund type long-term debt will be repaid, plus interest, from the operating
revenues of the Electric, Water, and Wastewater Funds.
General Obligation Bonds and Certificates
The City issues General Obligation Bonds and Certificates of Obligation to provide funds for the
acquisition and construction of major capital facilities. These types of bonds have been issued
by the City for both governmental activities as well as business-type activities. These bonds
are reported in the proprietary funds if they are expected to be repaid from proprietary fund
revenue.
General Obligation Bonds are direct obligations, for which the City has pledged the full faith and
credit of the City. These bonds generally are issued as 20-year serial bonds with varying
amounts of principal maturing each year.
The City is required by bond covenants to create from ad valorem tax revenues a sinking fund
sufficient to pay the current interest and principal installments as they become due. In addition
to the sinking fund, there are a number of limitations and restrictions contained in the various
56
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
general obligation bonds and certificate indentures. The City is in compliance with the
significant limitations and restrictions at September 30, 2009.
On July 9, 2009, the City issued $3.335 million in General Obligation Bonds, dated July 15,
2009, with a true interest cost of 4.1989%. The proceeds from the sale of the bonds will be
used to (1) pay for costs of construction and acquisition of and improvements to City streets,
sidewalks, hike and bike trails, traffic signals and control systems, parks and park facilities
improvements, construction of improvements to the City’s fire stations and (2) pay the costs
incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds.
On July 9, 2009, the City issued $31.315 million in Certificates of Obligation, dated July 15,
2009, with a true interest cost of 4.1421%. The proceeds from the sale of the Certificates will
be used to (1) pay for the acquisition of land to be used for municipal purposes, including, but
not limited to, a site for a convention center, design and planning for the construction of a
convention center, construction of a new landfill, acquisition of technology improvements and
equipment; (2) fund electric, water, and wastewater system improvements and (3) to pay costs
incurred in connection with the issuance of the Certificates.
Revenue Bonds
Utility system revenue bonds are secured by the net revenues of the Electric, Water, and
Wastewater Funds as defined in the respective bond indentures. The City pledges income
derived from the acquired or constructed assets to pay the debt service. In addition, the City is
required to maintain debt service funds and bond reserve funds for all outstanding revenue
bonds. Amounts in the reserve fund are to be used to pay principal and interest on outstanding
bonds at any time sufficient funds are not available in the bond interest and redemption fund.
The bond indentures require that the City accumulate reserves of an amount equal to the
average annual principal and interest requirements of all outstanding bonds secured by the net
revenues of the system.
Arbitrage Compliance
Arbitrage provisions of the Internal Revenue Tax Act of 1986 require the City to rebate to the
federal government excess arbitrage earnings from bond proceeds. As of September 30, 2009,
the City did not have an arbitrage rebate liability.
Defeasance
In prior years, the City defeased certain revenue and refunding bonds totaling $23,810,000 and
certain general obligation bonds, refunding bonds and certificates of obligation totaling
$10,185,000 by placing the proceeds of the refunding bonds in an irrevocable trust to provide
for all future debt service on the refunded bonds. Accordingly, the trust account assets and the
liability for the defeased bonds are not included in the City's financial statements.
The advanced refunding of Series 2006 was undertaken to reduce total general obligation and
certificate of obligation debt service payments over 12 years by $651,000 and resulted in
economic gain of $506,168. The advanced refunding of Utility System Revenue Series 2005A
and 2003 were undertaken to reduce total utility revenue debt service payments over the next
10 and 6 years, respectively by $1,037,232 and $885,000, respectively and resulting in
economic gains of $813,969 and $720,738 respectively.
At September 30, 2009, the outstanding principal balance of the defeased revenue refunding
bonds was $4,770,000 and the outstanding principal balance of the defeased general obligation
bonds and certificates of obligation was $5,620,000.

V. Other Information
A. Property Taxes
Property tax is levied each October 1 on the assessed (appraised) value listed as of the prior
January 1 for all real and business personal property located in the City. Taxable assessed
value represents the appraisal value less applicable exemptions authorized by the City Council.
Taxes are due October 1 and are delinquent after the following January 31. Tax liens are
automatic and become enforceable as of January 1 of each year. Taxes become delinquent
February 1 and are subject to interest and penalty charges. The tax rate to finance general
governmental services including debt service was 43.94 cents per $100 of assessed valuation
for the year ended September 30, 2009. Under current state statutes, the City's ability to
increase the levy for property taxation is subject to a maximum rate of $2.50 per $100 valuation.
The Brazos County Appraisal District ("Appraisal District") is responsible for the recording and
appraisal of property for all taxing units in Brazos County. The Appraisal District is required to
assess property at 100 percent of its appraised value. Real property must be reappraised at
least every three years. The City may, at its own expense, require annual reviews by the
Appraisal District through various appeals and, if necessary, legal action. Under this system, if
the rate, excluding tax rates for bonds and other contractual obligations adjusted for new
improvements, exceeds the rate for the previous year by more than eight (8) percent, qualified
voters of the City may petition for an election to determine whether to limit the tax rate to no
more than eight (8) percent above the tax rate of the previous year.
Brazos County bills and collects the property taxes for the City.
B. Risk Management
A government entity, such as the City of College Station, is faced with many risks. These risks
can be generally subdivided into four categories of loss: direct property loss, indirect property
loss, liability loss, and personnel losses. The City employs a combination of risk management
strategies to provide acceptable levels of protection regarding these potential risks.
The City is self-insured for health benefits, and the plan is administered by Blue Cross Blue
Shield. This activity is accounted for in the Employee Benefits Fund, which is funded monthly by
contributions from employees and from the operating funds of the City. These contributions are
determined based on an analysis of prior year claims and administrative costs and a forecast of
future claims and administrative costs. The City has a stop-loss insurance policy that limits its
liability to $100,000 per individual per year with an aggregate, annual liability of
$4,724,096. The liability for outstanding losses includes $824,517 for claims incurred but not
reported as of September 30, 2009.
In fiscal year 2009 the City was insured by Affiliated FM, A.M. Best rated A+XV, for all of its real
and personal property and mobile equipment. Affiliated FM is funded by calculated
contributions from the City's operating funds and provides all of the claims handling for these
lines of coverage. The City carries a deductible between $25,000 and $250,000, depending on
type of loss, per occurrence on its property insurance policy with Affiliated FM. Property
insurance covers all direct losses and some indirect losses.
On all lines of liability coverage, the City is self-insured. The City has procured excess liability
coverage through Star National Insurance Company that is A.M. Best rated A-IX. The self-
60
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
insured retention ("SIR") is $250,000 per claim. The claims are handled by Risk Management
staff.
The City is also self-insured on its workers' compensation coverage. The City opted for excess
workers' compensation coverage with a SIR of $250,000 per claim feature. The City's carrier is
Star National Insurance Company, and Abercrombie, Simmons & Gillette, (AS&G) the TPA
(third party administrator) handles all of the workers' compensation claims. In the event of a
simultaneous liability and workers' compensation claim, only one SIR applies.
Liabilities in the property and casualty fund and the workers’ compensation fund are reported
when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported.
Based upon the most recent actuarial study, the City has recorded a potential liability of
$390,378 in the property and casualty fund and a potential liability of $355,017 in the workers’
compensation fund. The results of the process to estimate the claims liability is not an exact
amount as it depends on many complex factors, such as inflation, changes in legal doctrines,
and damage awards. Accordingly, claims are reevaluated periodically to consider the effects of
inflation, recent claim settlement trends (including frequency and amount of pay-outs), and
other economic and social factors.
Lastly, the City also uses its Unemployment Fund to account for self-insurance activity involving
claims filed under unemployment compensation laws. Monthly contributions based on a
percentage of payroll are determined each year during the budget process and are used to fund
this activity.
Settlements have not exceeded self-insured retention for each of the past three fiscal years.
The liabilities for insurance claims reported in each of the funds are based on Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 10, which requires that a liability for claims be
reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is
probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and if the
amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These liabilities include an estimate for
incurred but not reported claims. Changes in the balances of claims liabilities for the self-
insurance funds that are accounted for as Internal Service Funds for fiscal years 2009 and
2008 are as follows:
2009 2008
Unpaid Claims, October 1 1,405,955$ 1,186,027$
Incurred Claims (including IBNR's) 6,391,276 4,532,452
Claims Paid (6,247,319) (4,312,524)
Unpaid Claims, September 30 1,549,912$ 1,405,955$
C. Joint Venture
The Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management Agency (“BVSWMA”) was formed under a joint
solid waste management agreement between the Cities of College Station and Bryan. College
Station and Bryan agreed to cooperatively operate a joint facility for the proper disposal of solid
waste for the two cities and outside customers. Each city reports a 50% ownership in
BVSWMA. BVSWMA has contracted with the City of College Station to serve as landfill
operator for the facility.
BVSWMA is governed by a Policy Advisory Board ("Board") which is charged with providing
recommendations to the City Councils of College Station and Bryan regarding the joint venture.
61
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
The Board is comprised of three voting members: the Mayors of College Station and Bryan,
who alternate each year as Chair, and one City Council Member from the City that is not
serving as Chair. The City Managers of each City and a representative of Grimes County
designated by the Commissioners Court serve as non-voting or ex-officio members of the
Board. Legal oversight of BVSWMA is vested in the City Councils of the two cities. The annual
budget is prepared and approved by the BVSWMA Board and adopted by both City Councils.
All contracts and expenditures in excess of $50,000 and contractual change orders in excess of
$25,000 require the approval of both the Bryan and College Station City Councils.
The City's share of BVSWMA's change in net assets for fiscal year 2009 was $1,055,622.
State and federal laws and regulations require BVSWMA to place a final cover on its Rock
Prairie landfill site when it stops accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and
monitoring functions at the site for thirty years after closure. Although closure and postclosure
care costs will be paid only near or after the date that the landfill stops accepting waste,
BVSWMA reports a portion of these closure and postclosure care costs as an operating
expense in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each balance sheet date. The
$4.4 million reported as accrued postclosure maintenance costs at September 30, 2009,
represents the cumulative amount reported to date based on the use of 88 percent of the
estimated capacity of the landfill. BVSWMA will recognize the remaining estimated cost of
closure and postclosure care of $587,000 as the remaining estimated capacity is filled. These
amounts are based on what it would cost to perform all closure and postclosure care in 2009.
BVSWMA expects to close the landfill in the year 2010. Actual cost may be higher due to
inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.
On January 12, 2010, the City of Bryan, and on January 14, 2010, the City of College Station
approved an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement (“ILA”) creating a local government corporation
(“LGC”) which will own and manage BVSWMA. The ILA describes the process for the creation
of the LGC and the development of agreements to a) create the corporation; b) transfer the
assets of BVSWMA to the Corporation; and c) reimburse debt associated with the assets of
BVSWMA; and d) finance, operate and manage BVSWMA.
On February 9, 2010, the City of College Station, and on February 11, 2010, the City of Bryan,
approved Articles of Incorporation for Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management Agency, Inc., the
LCC formed under the aforementioned ILA.

D. Retirement Plan
Plan Description
The City provides pension benefits for all of its full-time employees through a nontraditional,
joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit plan in the state-wide Texas Municipal Retirement
System ("TMRS"), an agent multiple-employer public employee retirement system. The plan
provisions that have been adopted by the City are within the options available in the governing
state statutes of TMRS.
TMRS issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report that includes financial
statements and required supplementary information (RSI) for TMRS; the report also provides
detailed explanations of the contributions, benefits and actuarial methods and assumptions
used by the System. The report may be obtained by writing TMRS, Post Office Box 149153,

Austin, Texas 78714-9153 or by calling 800-924-8677; in addition, the report is available on
TMRS’ website at www.TMRS.com.
The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options available
in the state statutes governing TMRS. Plan provisions for the City were as follows:

Transfers
100% Repeating,

Annuity Increase (to retirees) 70% of CPI Repeating 70% of CPI Repeating
Contributions
Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each city is determined annually
by the actuary, using the Projected Unit Credit actuarial cost method. This rate consists of the
normal cost contribution rate and the prior service cost contribution rate, which is calculated to
be a level percent of payroll from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the
portion of an active member’s projected benefit allocated annually; the prior service contribution
rate amortizes the unfunded (overfunded) actuarial liability (asset) over the applicable period for
that City. Both the normal cost and the prior service contribution rates include recognition of the
projected impact of annually repeated benefits, such as Updated Service Credits and Annuity
Increases.
The City contributed to the TMRS Plan at an actuarially determined rate. Both the employees
and the City made contributions monthly. Since the City needs to know its contribution rate in
advance for budgetary purposes, there is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that
serves as the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect. The
annual pension cost and net pension obligation/(asset) are as follows:
1. Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $ 7,672,160 $ of ARC1
2. Interest on Net Pension Obligation 0 Interest2 * (7)
3. Adjustment to the ARC (0) (7) / amortization

7. Net Pension Obligation/(Asset), beginning of year 0 $ 03
8. Net Pension Obligation/(Asset), end of year $ 2,358,482 (6) + (7)
1The fiscal year $ ARC is determined by the sum of the applicable $ ARC for each month. The $ ARC for each month is
determined by multiplying the PY % ARC (Full Retirement Rate) by the applicable payroll for that month.
2Should be the interest rate used in determining the ARC for the period. This is 7% for the 2008 and 2009 ARC and
7/5% for the 2010 ARC.
3Beginning of Year Net Pension Obligation/(Asset) most likely will be $0 for the first year. Subsequent years should
begin with the ending value of the prior year.
The required contribution rates for fiscal year 2009 were determined as part of the December
31, 2006 and 2007 actuarial valuations. Additional information as of the latest actuarial
valuation, December 31, 2008, also follows:

the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend information about whether the
actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial
accrued liability of benefits.
Post Retirement/Employment Benefits
In addition to providing pension benefits, the City provides postretirement medical, dental,
vision, drug and life insurance benefits for retired employees. This other post employment
benefit (OPEB) plan was established by City Resolution No. 9-13-90-5.10, which was passed
and approved by the City Council on September 13, 1990. The City Manager has the authority
to amend the plan, and did so on September 30, 2009. Employees who retire while working for
the City and their dependents are eligible to remain on the City’s health and dental plan as long
as the employee makes monthly premium payments. On September 30, 2009, the monthly
retiree premium payment became the actual non-blended retiree rate, effective as of January 1,
2010 for new retirees and effective January 1, 2011 for existing retirees. The change in the
monthly premium eliminates the OPEB liability for postretirement medical, dental, vision and
drug insurance benefits.
The City also offers its retirees a $10,000 fully insured life insurance benefit until the retiree
reaches age 65. No spouse coverage is offered. During the fiscal year ended September 30,
2009, the City paid $842 in premiums for this insurance policy for its eligible retirees. An OPEB
liability does exist for this benefit, but it is considered immaterial.
65
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
The City determines the employer and participant contribution rates annually based on
recommendations of the staff and consulting actuary. During the fiscal year ended September
30, 2009, the City subsidized the retiree medical, dental, vision and drug premium so that the
retiree premium is less than the full amount of premium for a full time employee. During fiscal
year 2009, twenty-nine former employees were covered under this arrangement, with claims
totaling $172,020. Prior to the passage of this resolution, employees who reached retirement
while working for the City were eligible to remain on the City’s self-insured health plan and have
their monthly premiums paid for by the City. During fiscal year 2009, one retiree was covered
under this plan; however, claims filed by this retiree were not material.
The City also provides health benefits as required by the Federal Government under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA"). COBRA requires
employers that sponsor group health plans to provide continuation of group coverage to
employees and their dependents under certain circumstances where coverage would otherwise
end. Eligible participants who qualify under COBRA pay premium costs for themselves and
dependents. COBRA participants are on the same health plan and are reimbursed at the same
levels as active employees. The amount of expenditures related to COBRA claims for the year
ended September 30, 2009 was $162,118. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the
City had forty-six COBRA participants.
E. Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal
Revenue Code ("IRC") 457. The plan, as amended, is available to all employees and permits
them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The plan funds are not available to
employees until termination, retirement, death, or emergency.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan (until paid or made available to the
employee or other beneficiary) were placed in trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants
and the beneficiaries. This action is in accordance with changes made to IRC Section 457.
Since the City is no longer the Plan Administrator or the trustee, the assets of the plan are no
longer a reportable fund in the City's basic financial statements.
F. Commitments and Contingencies
Construction Commitments
The City has contractual commitments of $2,080,797 in the Capital Projects Funds, $3,266,454
in the Water Fund, $1,336,197 in the Wastewater Fund and $519,668 in the Electric Fund.
These commitments are for construction of various projects and will be funded primarily from
long term debt.
Contingencies
The City participates in a number of federal and state assisted grant programs. These
programs are subject to program compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives.
Any liability for reimbursement which may arise as the result of these audits is not believed to
be material.
Litigation
The City is a party to legal proceedings, many of which occur in the normal course of
operations. It is not possible at the present time to estimate the ultimate outcome or liability, if
66
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2009
City of College Station, Texas
any, of the city with respect to the various proceedings. The City’s management believes that
the ultimate outcome of the various lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the City’s
financial position.
G. Bonds Available for Sale
Authorized general obligation bonds available for future issue are as follows:

Traffic Signals 2008 3,000,000
Total 80,645,000$
H. Revenue Bond Coverage
All the net revenues of the Electric, Water, and Wastewater Funds are pledged for the payment
of debt service of the revenue bonds and other indebtedness payable from those revenues.
Net revenues, as defined by the revenue bond resolutions, include substantially all of the
revenues and expenses of the above named funds other than certain interest income and
expense, and depreciation and amortization. These bond resolutions further require that the
net revenues, as defined, equal at least 1.40 times the average annual debt service on all
revenue bonds and other indebtedness payable from those revenues and 1.25 times the
maximum annual debt service on all revenue bonds and other indebtedness payable from
those revenues. The maximum annual debt service is defined as the maximum principal and
interest payments to be paid in any one year remaining in the life of the bonds, and the average
annual debt service is defined as the sum of all principal and interest payments due over the
remaining life of the bonds divided by the remaining life of the bonds. The City is in compliance
with these requirements.
I. Subsequent Events
On September 30, 2009, the City of College Station authorized a change in its retiree health
insurance coverage. The change is phased in over the next year and a half. Effective January
1, 2010, new retirees choosing to stay on the City’s health plan may do so by paying the non-
blended retiree-rate for health benefits. The existing retirees on the City’s health plan will be
able to stay on the health plan and pay the subsidized employee group rate through December
31, 2010. This change eliminates the City’s Other Post Employment Benefit Cost for Health
and Dental Benefits.
On November 15, 2009, the City issued $8.095 million General Obligation Refunding Bonds,
Series 2009. The advanced refunding of General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 1998,
1999, 2000 and Certificates of Obligation 2000A was undertaken to reduce total general
obligation debt service payments over the next 10 years by $795,539 resulting in an economic
gain of $655,532.

COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
General Fund(s)
The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except
those required to be accounted for in another fund. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or
contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures, fixed charges and
capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund.
The General Fund Type has historically incorporated several funds, which have been reported collectively as the General Fund in
the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
During the fiscal year, the City re-organized its fund structure to classify certain funds previously classified as General Fund as
Special Revenue Funds. These funds (and their restricting legislation) include the Court Technology Fee Fund (Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure, Article 102.0172), the Court Security Fee Fund (Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 102.017), the
Juvenile Case Manager Fee Fund (Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 102.0174), and the Police Seizure Fund (federal law
and Public Health Laws, Title 71, Article 4476-15, Section 503).
For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, the General Fund includes:
General Fund
Economic Development Fund – accounts for funds used for business attraction and retention. Monies for this purpose are
transferred to the Economic Development Fund from the General Fund, the Business Park Fund, and the Electric, Water,
Wastewater and Sanitation Funds.
Parks Xtra Education Fund – accounts for funds used for community-based education programs jointly offered by the City of
College Station and the College Station Independent School District. Registration fees primarily fund this fund.
Unclaimed Property Fund – accounts for checks issued but not cashed. After the abandonment period of 1 year for payroll checks
over $100 and 3 years for accounts payable checks over $100, these funds are sent to the State Comptroller.

Notes:
(1) Tax rates are established by each taxing jurisdiction on an annual basis for
revenues to be collected in the following fiscal year. The City must publish its
effective and rollback tax rates before adopting an actual tax rate. If the City
adopts a rate that exceeds the rollback rate, voters may petition for an election
to limit the rate to the rollback rate. If the City adopts a rate that exceeds its
effective rate, additional public hearings and notices are required. Rates for
debt service are set based on each year's requirements.
(2) The date that taxes are due for all jurisdictions is October 1. Taxes for all
jurisdictions become delinquent on February 1. The penalty is set by state law at
6% in February, and an additional 1% per month up to 12%. The interest is
accrued at 1% per month.
(3) The upper limit of the tax rate is set at $2.50/$100 of assessed value for each
jurisdiction by State Statute. This limit is for both operations and debt service
combined.

Sources: Debt outstanding data provided by each governmental unit. Assessed value data used to estimate applicable
percentages provided by the Brazos County Appraisal District.
Notes: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographical boundaries of the
City. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by
the residents and businesses of College Station. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to
issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into
account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident and therefore responsible for repaying the debt
of each overlapping government.
a For debt repaid with property taxes, the percentage of overlapping debt is estimated using taxable assessed property
values. Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of another governmental unit's taxable
assessed value that is within the City's boundaries and dividing it by each unit's total assessed value.
