April 28, 2008
Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and
Citizens of the City of College Station, Texas
The City Manager and the Fiscal Services Department are pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report for the City of College Station, Texas (the "City") for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2007.
This report is published to provide to the City Council, City staff, our citizens, our bondholders and other
interested parties detailed information concerning the financial condition of the City government.
Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the
presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the data is accurate in all material aspects and is organized in a
manner designed to fairly present the financial position and results of operations of the City as measured
by the financial activity of its various funds. We also believe that all disclosures necessary to enable the
reader to gain the maximum understanding of the City's financial affairs have been included.
The Local Government Code, Section 103.001 (a) states: "A municipality shall have its records and
accounts audited annually and shall have an annual financial statement prepared based on the audit."
Likewise the Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements adopted annually by the City Council as a part of
the City's Approved Budget include a requirement that the City shall annually have an audit performed by
an outside, independent auditor. The City has complied with this requirement, and the Independent
Auditors' Report has been included in this report.
THE REPORT
This report is comprised of three sections: Introductory, Financial and Statistical. The Introductory
Section includes this transmittal letter, a listing of the principal City officials, and an organizational chart of
the City. The Financial Section contains the Independent Auditors' Report on the basic financial
statements, Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A"), the basic financial statements with related
notes, and combining and individual fund statements and schedules. The MD&A is a narrative
introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements. This letter of
transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction therewith. The City
of College Station's MD&A may be found immediately following the Independent Auditors' Report. The
Statistical Section provides financial and demographic information, usually presented on a multi-year
basis, that is relevant to a financial statement reader.
vii
The Financial section described above is prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for governments as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB")
and other professional associations, as applicable.
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 the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 90 miles northwest of Houston,
approximately 165 miles south of Dallas and approximately 100 miles east of Austin, in 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 86,480 as of September 2007. 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 municipality and utilizes a Council-Manager form of
government organized under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas. The City Council is
composed of a mayor and six council members elected at large. The City Council appoints the City
Manager, City Attorney, City Secretary, Municipal Court Judge and Internal Auditor. Almost all other City
staff work under the direction of the City Manager.
The Reporting Entity and Services Provided
This report includes all government activities, organizations and functions for which the City is financially
accountable as defined by the GASB. Based on these criteria, no other governmental organizations are
included in the report. For additional information on the reporting entity, refer to Note I-A in the basic
financial statements.
The City provides a full range of municipal services as prescribed by statute or charter. These services
include police, fire and emergency medical services, parks and recreational facilities, library services,
street maintenance and construction, public improvements, general administrative services and electrical,
water, sewer, and sanitation systems. Internal services of the City accounted for on a cost
reimbursement basis are print/mail, risk management, employee health and disability, equipment
replacement, fleet management, and communications.
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 the cost of a control
viii
should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and 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 annual budget serves as the foundation for the City's financial planning and control. The City Charter
provides that the City Manager will submit a proposed budget to the City Council between 30 and 90 days
prior to the end of the fiscal year. The City's budget is prepared by function, fund and department. The
City Council is required to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget and to adopt a budget no later
than the 27th day of the last month of the fiscal year. The City's fiscal year begins on October 1 and ends
on September 30. Controls of budgetary spending are at the department level within the City's General
Fund and at the individual fund appropriation in all other funds. The City Council must authorize transfers
between General Fund departments and all increases in total spending in any fund.
The City's departments have direct access to review budgets as often as necessary. Monthly closing
reports are prepared and reviewed by 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
College Station has seen continued growth in fiscal year 2007. The concentration of stable and even-
growing employment sectors such as government, higher education and health care 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.
In 2005, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) significantly altered the methodology used to calculate
unemployment. The new calculation method resulted in just over a one percent increase in the
unemployment figure for College Station. In prior years, the unemployment rate was in the 1.6 percent to
2.6 percent range. As a result of the BLS change, the unemployment rate for fiscal year 2006 as of
October was approximately 3.4 percent. In fiscal year 2007 the unemployment rate was approximately
3.7 percent.
Sales tax collections in College Station continued to see growth in fiscal year 2007. This is consistent
with growth in sales tax receipts the City has experienced over the last several years. In fiscal year 2007,
sales tax revenue was up by 7.9 percent over fiscal year 2006 to $18,077,973.
College Station continues to see housing and commercial development. There were 615 new housing
starts during 2007. Total ad valorem assessed valuation increased by approximately $410 million or
approximately 11.2 percent for fiscal year 2007 over fiscal year 2006. Commercial development
continued to be strong with both new and redevelopment. Several new commercial businesses opened
in College Station in 2007. The University Drive corridor continued to have significant amounts of new
business and increased traffic. New commercial development and redevelopment has also taken place
along Texas Avenue in the past year.
One major asset of the City of College Station is that it is 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
ix
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 46,542 as of September 2007. TAMU employs more than
20,000 full-time and part-time staff.
Major Capital Initiatives
In 2007, numerous capital improvement initiatives continued in the City. Parks projects completed in
FY07 include improvements at the Lincoln Center. A covered walkway was constructed at the Lincoln
Center which runs from the Lincoln Center to the parking lot. Construction on an additional parking lot at
the Lincoln Center also began in FY07. The lot will provide for an additional 30 parking spaces.
Improvements at Gabbard Park and Oaks Park began in FY07 as well. These projects, in addition to the
Lincoln Center projects, were funded with Community Development Block Grant funds. An addition to the
Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater was completed in FY07. The addition included an office, performer
dressing rooms, storage, a ticket window and a concession area. This project was funded from the Wolf
Pen Creek Tax Increment Financing District fund. In 2007, construction continued on the second phase of
Veterans Park. The project as originally planned was completed in FY07 and included the addition of
three soccer fields, three softball fields, a pavilion and a concession area. The project came in under
budget and remaining funds will be used to create a second entrance/exit to the park in FY08. Park
upgrades such as the installation of lighting, landscaping, benches, sidewalks, drinking fountains and
shade covers were completed at various parks in FY07. In addition, the City continues to upgrade and
replace infrastructure within its parks system.
Street extension projects completed in FY07 include the Jones Butler Street extension. Jones Butler was
extended south from Holleman Drive to intersect with FM2818 and align with Marion Pugh. In addition,
traffic signals were installed in FY07 at the intersection of Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Luther and the
intersection of Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Holleman. Projects underway in FY07 in the Northgate
District included street rehabilitation on Church Avenue between College Main and Nagle and the
rehabilitation of Tauber and Stasney Streets from University Drive to Cherry Street. Southside
improvements continued as well. Work in the West Park area of Southside continued and is expected to
be completed in early FY08. Engineering work continued on the College Park/Breezy Heights project in
the Southside area. Construction on the Dartmouth Drive extension and the Arrington/Decatur extension
began in FY07. Both of these projects are expected to be completed in FY08. The Dartmouth extension
will connect Krenek Tap Road to Harvey Mitchell Parkway. The Arrington/Decatur extension will improve
north-south traffic flow on the west side of Highway 6 by providing a connection from Highway 40 to
Barron Road. Continuing street projects include improvements on Barron Road and the Rock Prairie
Road Widening project. Design and land acquisition continued in FY07 on both of these projects.
Sidewalk improvement projects completed in FY07 included the construction of an 8 foot sidewalk on the
north side of University from Texas Avenue to College Avenue. This project was completed in
collaboration with Texas A&M University. Sidewalk improvements were also made on the south side of
Southwest Parkway from Anderson to Texas Avenue. A four foot sidewalk was installed.
Electric utility projects completed in 2007 included various system overhead, underground and street
lighting improvements. These improvements were designed to increase system reliability and meet
customer requirements, as well as improve aesthetics. Projects underway in 2007 included the
construction of the Spring Creek Substation. The majority of the construction on this substation occurred
in FY07, and it is anticipated that the project will be completed in early FY08. This substation will provide
additional power capacity for customers on the south side of the City. As a component of this project,
conductors were installed for the feeder exits. In FY07, progress was made on the installation of a
transmission re-conductor project from the City’s Switch Station to the Post Oak Substation and from the
Post Oak Substation to the Southwood Substation. This line is approximately five miles. Also in progress
in FY07 was the design of a new training facility that will be built on the grounds of the Utility Service
x
Center. Street lighting projects completed in FY07 included the completion of a second phase of
decorative lighting installation in the Eastgate area. Lighting was also installed on Harvey Mitchell
Parkway from Rio Grande to Wellborn. In the water and wastewater utilities, work continued on a number
of capital projects. In FY07, work was completed on the Dowling Road Pump Station Chemical System
Piping Replacement project. The chlorine disinfection system was replaced to improve safety and
operating reliability. Work also continued on the construction of a parallel water transmission line along
FM2818 from Hwy 21 south to Villa Maria Road. The additional system capacity is required to support the
Northgate area and to provide water service to the annexed area west of FM2818 along FM60. Design
work began on the construction of Well #7 in 2007 and construction is anticipated to occur in 2008. Well
#7 is necessary to meet future capacity needs. Work continued on water and wastewater plant security
upgrades in 2007. Sludge processing improvements at the Wastewater Treatment Plant were completed
in FY07 and odor control improvements continued. The odor control improvements will be completed in
early FY08. In addition, numerous water and wastewater line rehabilitation and replacement projects were
ongoing in 2007.
Facility projects underway in FY07 included the relocation of Fire Station #3. The existing station is on the
one-way Highway 6 frontage road. The station will be relocated to Barron Road to provide services to a
high growth area of the city. Other facility projects included work on the design of renovations for the
Police Station. The renovations include the expansion of the Police Department into the space vacated by
Municipal Court. In addition, general improvements will be made to the rest of the building to allow for
better use of space. The construction of the renovations began in early FY08. The design of phase 1 of a
new Municipal Cemetery began in FY07. The cemetery will be located on the northwest corner of FM
2818 and FM 60 and will have an area designated for students, faculty, staff, family and friends of Texas
A&M University. It is expected that construction of the cemetery will occur in FY08. In addition, design
work began in FY07 on the completion of the second floor of the Municipal Court building. The space is
currently unfinished and will be renovated for use as City office space.
Technology is an ongoing area of advancement for the City. Projects completed in FY07 included the
PARD Automation project. This project provided for the automation of many processes in the Parks and
Recreation Department. The result of this project allowed for on-line registration in many of the Park
programs. Projects that were on-going in FY07 included the Automated Citations project. This project will
allow officers in the field to use a device in which citation information is entered that can be downloaded
directly into the Municipal Court system. Other on-going technology projects include Police Field
Reporting, which will allow police officers to complete forms electronically in the field instead of coming
back to the station to complete the forms. The EMS Reporting System project also continued in FY07.
This project will update the Fire Department’s current scheduling system and it is expected that the
project will be completed in FY08.
Capital Planning
The citizens of the City approved general obligation bond proposals totaling approximately $38.4 million
in November 2003. The fourth portion of this bond authorization, totaling $3,930,000, was issued in 2007.
It is anticipated that various street, traffic safety, public buildings, and park projects funded by these
bonds will be built over the next several years. The City has gone to the voters three times in the last
twelve years with successful general obligation bond proposals. It is projected that the City will be able to
make these improvements without increasing the ad valorem tax rate for the capital portion of these
projects. Another five year General Obligation Bond Authorization is being prepared and scheduled to go
to the voters in November 2008. Transportation projects continue to be a top priority as this planning
continues.
Planning in the electric, water, wastewater and drainage utilities provides for an anticipated investment of
$87 million over the next five years. The electric funds will be used to provide electric line extensions,
transmission enhancements, substations, new customer connections, and replacements of existing
xi
facilities. The water utility will continue to replace lines in older neighborhoods, add new transmission and
distribution lines, provide for a looped system, add new deep wells, and continue a project to add
transmission capacity from the well field to the City. Wastewater projects include sewer outfall lines, line
extensions for annexed areas and new services, and treatment plant improvements. Drainage funds will
be used for improvements that allow the City to maintain adequate storm carrying capacity of the
drainage system. Some rate increases are anticipated for the utilities over the next five years to keep up
with the additional capital requirements.
Cash Management
The City awards its depository contract through official bidding procedures for a two-year period with the
provision for up to three one-year extensions. The current depository contract expires in 2008 and is with
Citibank, Texas N.A. The City's bank depository agreement requires that all demand deposits and time
deposits are secured by pledged collateral with a market value equal to no less than 105 percent of the
deposits, less $100,000 which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Evidence of the
pledged collateral is maintained by the Fiscal Services Department and a third party financial institution.
Collateral is reviewed monthly to assure the market value of the securities pledged equals or exceeds the
related bank balances. Assets pledged to the City by its depository are held by The Bank of New York.
Temporarily idle cash for all funds is invested by City officials in securities as allowed by Texas Statutes
and the City's investment policy. This policy is reviewed and adopted by the City Council annually. The
average balance of the City's investment portfolio for fiscal year 2007 was approximately $115.8 million.
The overall portfolio produced unrestricted interest earnings of $6,445,199, which represents an increase
of $1,199,894 from fiscal year 2006. The City had no realized losses on any securities held during fiscal
year 2007. Investment securities purchased by the City, except investments in pooled funds and mutual
funds, are on a delivery versus payment basis. That is, funds are not wired or paid until verification has
been made that the correct security has been received by the custodian. Securities are held in a custody
account in the City's name. The original copy of all safekeeping statements is delivered to the City.
Risk Management
The City's risk management program is administered by the Risk Management function in the Human
Resources Division. Risk Management is responsible for monitoring all claims filed against the City, as
well as handling the filing of claims as necessary on behalf of the City. Risk Management is also
responsible for administering the City's Workers' Compensation and Property and Casualty Self
Insurance Funds. The City's Risk Manager is responsible for ensuring that the City's coverage is
adequate to protect the City in the event of potential losses and for ensuring continuous coverage. The
City has implemented a strong and proactive safety training program.
Employee Retirement System
The City is a member of the Texas Municipal Retirement System ("TMRS") that covers all full-time and
certain part-time employees. The plan provides for no benefits beyond the contributions of the employee,
employer and earnings on the individual employee account. Employee contributions are seven (7)
percent of gross earnings. The City's contribution rate for 2007 was 12.05 percent. The contribution rate
for the City is set by TMRS annually for a calendar year. Any unfunded liability (actuarially determined
cost to the City not already paid) is paid over a 25-year period and is included as a part of the rate the
City pays.
xii
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 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, 2007 are
fairly presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals. The independent
auditors' report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
Certificate of Achievement
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada ("GFOA") awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of College Station for its
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ("CAFR") for the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2006. The
Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award recognizing conformance with the highest
standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental unit must publish an easily readable
and efficiently organized CAFR with contents that conform to program standards. Such reports must
satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. The City of College Station has
received a Certificate of Achievement for twenty-five out of the last twenty-six years. We believe our
current report continues to conform to the Certificate of Achievement Program requirements, and we are
submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
Responsibility for Financial Reporting
The City's Senior Management, including the City Manager and Chief Financial Officer, accept the
responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, consistency, and reliability of the financial statements. They also
acknowledge their responsibility for assuring the continuous monitoring of the City's system of internal
controls for compliance in order to prevent misappropriation of assets and fraudulent financial reporting.
Additionally, they confirm their commitment to fostering a strong ethical climate and communicating those
standards to employees through personnel rules, administrative regulations, and City law.
Acknowledgement
The preparation of this report could not have been accomplished without the efforts and dedicated
services of the entire staff of the Fiscal Services Department. Appreciation is also expressed to City

• At the close of the current fiscal year, the
City's governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of
$69,453,703, an increase of $1,907,581
when compared to the prior year.

in Certificates of Obligation, $18,665,000 in
Utility System Revenue Bonds, and
$10,255,000 in General Obligation

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 systems, planning and development, fire,
municipal services, parks and recreation, and citizen and neighborhood resources. The
business-type activities of the City include electric, water, sewer, sanitation, and the northgate
parking garage. The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 21-23.
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.
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 Capital 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 24-27.
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, sewer, sanitation, and parking activities
of the City. The Electric, Water, and Sewer 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, print-mail, 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 28-33.

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.
Required Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report presents on
pages 67-68, certain required supplementary information concerning the City's progress in
funding its obligation to provide pension benefits to its employees and the general fund budget-to-
actual comparison.
Combining Statements
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with the non-major governmental
funds, the non-major enterprise funds, and the internal service funds are presented on pages 69-
99 immediately following the required supplementary information.
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 $352,381,755 at the close of the most recent fiscal
year.
The largest portion of the City's net assets (74 percent) reflects its investment of $260,793,131 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.

are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of
unrestricted net assets, $83,442,846 (24 percent) may be used to meet the government's
ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City was
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 $21,248,442 as a result of fiscal year 2007 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, 2007 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 $12,353,318 thereby accounting for 58 percent of the total growth in net assets. Key elements of
this increase are as follows:
• Property taxes increased $1,926,790 (11.6 percent) during the year. This is primarily the
result of the total ad valorem assessed valuations increasing by $410 million or 11
percent over fiscal year 2006.
• Sales and mixed beverage taxes increased $1,366,795 (8 percent) during the year. This
is attributable to continued economic growth in the area.
• Capital grants and contributions decreased $2,206,784. Interest and investment income
increased $1,096,726.
The chart below illustrates the City's governmental revenues by source. For governmental
activities overall without regard to program, property tax (25 percent) and sales tax (25 percent)
are the largest sources of funds followed by charges for services (14 percent), and grants and
contributions (10 percent). All other governmental revenues account for 26 percent of all
governmental revenues.

Business-type activities. Business-type activities increased the City of College Station's net
assets by $8,895,124, thereby accounting for 42 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 sewer funds. In fiscal year 2007 capital
contributions amounted to $4,041,105.
• Electric utility expenses experienced an increase of $8,992,298 or 18 percent from fiscal
year 2006. This is primarily attributable to purchased power expenses.
• Charges for services increased by $7,815,457 or 9 percent from fiscal year 2006 due to
utility rate increases and greater than normal utility usage because of higher
temperatures.

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, Debt
Service Fund, and Streets Capital Projects 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 $69,453,703. Approximately 32 percent ($21,972,980) of this total amount
constitutes unreserved 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:
(1) To pay debt service ($3,466,058),
(2) To liquidate contracts and purchase orders of the prior period ($284,214),
(3) For capital improvements ($41,463,816),
(4) For permanent cemetery endowments ($1,429,900),
(5) For police criminal investigation activity ($28,352),
(6) For inventory ($57,977),
(7) For Juvenile Case Manager ($169,045),
(8) For Court Technology ($197,673),
(9) For Court Security ($343,968), and
(10) For Court Efficiency ($39,720).
Overall, revenues for governmental functions totaled $58,335,248 in the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2007, an increase of 8 percent or $4,293,097 from the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2006. Expenditures for governmental functions totaling $77,846,797 increased by
approximately 9.5 percent ($6,726,634) from the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. In fiscal
year 2007, expenditures for governmental functions exceeded revenues by $19,511,549. That
amount was 14 percent more than the previous year's amount of $17,078,012.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of College Station. At the end of the
current fiscal year, the unreserved, undesignated fund balance was $11,824,140 while the total
fund balance reached $12,932,589. The City's fiscal and budgetary policies require that the
12
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
General Fund's undesignated fund balance be at least equal to 15 percent of budgeted
expenditures, a percentage equal to 55 days of expenditures. The unreserved, undesignated
fund balance is approximately 24 percent of fiscal year 2007 budgeted expenditures and exceeds
the minimum requirement set by policy.
As a measure of the fund's liquidity, it is useful to compare both unreserved and total fund
balance to total fund actual expenditures. Unreserved fund balance represents 26 percent of
total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 28 percent. The fund
balance continues to meet and exceed the Fiscal and Budgetary Policy of having 15 percent of
expenditures available in fund balance.
The fund balance of the General Fund increased by $1,960,581 during the current fiscal year.
Key factors in this change were as follows:
• Overall revenues were up by approximately 8 percent, primarily due to an increase in
sales tax revenue and property tax revenue that resulted from strong retail sales and new
property values on the tax rolls.
• Other financing sources were up by 28 percent, primarily due to an increase in transfers
in from the utility funds.
The Debt Service Fund ended the fiscal year with a fund balance of $3,466,058. This entire
amount is reserved for the payment of debt service. The net increase in fund balance during the
current fiscal year was $393,283. A $1,216,592 increase in debt service revenues and other
financing sources was more than enough to cover principal retirements and interest payments.
The Streets Projects fund ended the fiscal year with a fund balance of $21,807,526. This entire
amount is either reserved for encumbrances related to current capital projects or reserved for
future capital projects. The net decrease in fund balance during the current fiscal year was
$2,241,930. This decrease is attributable to proceeds received from long term debt being spent
on streets capital projects during fiscal year 2007.
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 $184,738,367. Approximately 19 percent ($35,202,236) of this total amount constitutes
unrestricted net assets. The remainder of net assets for the proprietary funds, $149,536,131, is
reported as follows:
(1) Invested in capital assets, net of related debt ($146,479,775), and
(2) Restricted for debt service ($3,056,356).
Operating revenues for proprietary activities totaled $95,012,575 for the fiscal year, an increase
of 9 percent or $7,926,022 from the previous fiscal year. Operating expenses increased
$10,147,227 or 14.7 percent for the same period causing operating income to decrease
$2,221,205 or 12.1 percent from the previous year. The proprietary funds reported net
nonoperating expenses of $1,699,497 at the end of fiscal year 2007 as compared to net
nonoperating expenses of $1,701,141 in the previous fiscal year. Net assets increased

The electric utility ended the fiscal year with working capital of $10,311,581, a decrease of 13
percent from fiscal year 2006. 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, 2007, Electric Fund working capital equaled approximately 17 percent
of annual operating expenses.
Electric Fund operating revenues increased by 12.5 percent ($7,464,040) during fiscal year 2007,
while operating expenses increased 17.7 percent ($8,867,350) during the same period. This
resulted in a 14.4 percent decrease ($1,403,310) in operating income. 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 an increase in net assets of $2,281,664 in the Electric Fund
during the fiscal year.
Water Fund
Unrestricted net assets for the Water Fund at September 30, 2007 were $10,307,084. Working
capital in the Water Fund at the end of fiscal year 2007 was $5,429,058, an increase of
approximately 31 percent from fiscal year 2007. Water Fund working capital was 83 percent of
total operating expense and exceeds the minimum 15 percent requirement under the Council's
adopted policy.
Water Fund operating revenues decreased by 7 percent ($725,220) during fiscal year 2007.
Operating expenses increased 6 percent ($349,838) over fiscal year 2006. This resulted in
operating income decreasing by $1,075,058 in fiscal year 2007. The Water Fund's net assets
increased $2,356,697 during the fiscal year, a 42 percent decrease over the previous year.
Sewer Fund
The Sewer Fund's unrestricted net assets at the end of fiscal year 2007 were $7,652,853. The
Sewer Fund ended the fiscal year with a working capital balance of $7,117,843, which was 29
percent above fiscal year 2006. Sewer Fund working capital was 105 percent of total operating
expenses and is well above the minimum requirement for the fund.
Operating revenues in the Sewer Fund were $10,541,962, a $385,271 (4 percent) increase over the
previous fiscal year. Operating expenses increased from $6,532,291 to $6,791,966 or 4 percent
while operating income increased by 3 percent from $3,624,400 to $3,749,996.

BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The final amended budget for fiscal year 2007 totaled $235,707,964 for all funds. Of this amount
$165,952,638 (70.41 percent) was budgeted for operations and maintenance expenditures, and
$69,755,326 (29.59 percent) was budgeted for capital improvement projects.
In the General Fund the final revised budgeted change in fund balance was $1,132,850 lower than
the original budgeted change and the significant items that comprise this difference can be briefly
summarized as follows:
• $481,285 - Encumbrances rolled over from prior fiscal year.
• $169,025 - Appropriation for Gainsharing allocations to City of College Station
employees.
• $95,000 - Appropriation for low-band AM Radio Station.

• $45,548 - Appropriation for the Fire Department Wellness Program.

budgeted change and the significant items that comprise this difference can be briefly summarized
as follows:
• $623,867 - Additional tax revenue generated primarily from higher sales tax and ad
valorem revenues.
• $434,376 - Due in part to lower expenditures related to economic development incentive
outlays that were budgeted for and did not occur in FY07.
• $602,004 - Lower expenditures than budgeted in the Public Works Department due to
less spending on Street operations and facilities maintenance, and staff vacancies in the
Engineering Division.
• $391,485 - Lower expenditures in the Planning and Development Services Department
due to staff vacancies and for expenditures related to the comprehensive plan update
that did not occur.
• $420,721 - Lower expenditures in Information Technology due to a staff vacancy in
Neighborhood Services, lower expenditures on computer hardware and software and the
delay of the AM Radio Station project.

DEBT ADMINISTRATION
At the end of the 2007 fiscal year, the City of College Station had total debt outstanding of
$202,675,000. Of this amount, $97,460,000 (48 percent) comprised debt backed by the full faith
and credit of the City. The remaining debt is revenue bonds secured by specified revenue sources.

97,460,000$ 105,215,000$ 202,675,000$
The City's total debt increased by $13,895,000 (7.4 percent) during the current fiscal year. The
change in total debt was a result of the following:
• Issuance of $10,255,000 in general obligation refunding bonds, $3,930,000 in general
obligation improvement bonds, $3,960,000 in certificates of obligation, $18,665,000 in utility
revenue system revenue bonds; and
• Retirement/defeasance of $12,300,000 in general obligation bonds, $5,705,000 in certificates
of obligation, and the retirement of $4,910,000 in utility revenue bonds.
As a result of the issuance of the general obligation refunding bonds, the City will reduce its total
debt service payments over the next ten (10) years by approximately $651,000.
The City's General Obligation and Certificates of Obligation have an underlying rating of AA- by
Standard & Poors ("S&P") and Aa3 by Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"). The underlying
ratings for the City's revenue bonds are A+ by S&P and A1 by Moody's. Because the City's last
bond issue was insured, those bonds were rated AAA with S&P and Aaa with Moody's.
Additional information on the City's long-term debt can be found in Note IV-F to the financial
statements on pages 51-55 of this report.
OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (“OPEB”)
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 45 establishes standards for the
measurement, recognition, and display of the OPEB expense and related liabilities, note
disclosures, and required supplementary information in the financial reports of state and local
governments. The City is considered a phase II government under Statement No. 45 and is not
required to implement the standard until fiscal year 2009. In order to take a proactive approach to
understanding and addressing the City’s OPEB liability, on May 24, 2006, the City issued a request
for proposals for an actuarial analysis of future liabilities for Other Post-Employment Benefits under
GASB 45. The actuarial firm of Rudd and Wisdom, Inc. was chosen to perform the study, and on
December 14, 2006 they delivered a pro forma study to the City. This study: 1) outlines actuarial
cost methods and past-service liability actuarial amortization methods available to the City, 2)
reviews the actuarial assumptions and data used in the study, 3) discusses the effect of prefunding
18
Management's Discussion and Analysis

City of College Station, Texas
the annual required contribution, 4) discusses the current plan structure, 5) discusses design
options, and 6) outlines the steps the City needs to take prior to implementing GASB 45.
City staff has performed an initial review of the pro forma study and a preliminary discussion with
the actuary has taken place. At this point staff plans are to: 1) evaluate, with the assistance of the
actuary and our benefits consultant, the impact of changes to the current plan structure, 2) evaluate,
with the assistance of the City’s financial advisor, possible funding options, and 3) prepare and
present a comprehensive overview with recommendations and a funding strategy to the City
Council.
The study included pro forma valuation results as of October 1, 2005. The present value of future
benefits totaled $22,834,808. The annual OPEB cost for FYE 9/30/2006 was calculated under the
following 3 cost methods: 1) Aggregate Method = $3,045,050, 2) PUC-ARFS Method =
$2,338,410, and 3) FEAN-30 year Method = $1,953,445.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS AND RATES
The City of College Station has continued to grow, and indicators of that growth include the
following:
• An estimated population increase of 62 percent for the period of 1990 through 2007,
• An approximate $410 million increase to the ad valorem tax base during the fiscal year,
• A local economy that has maintained an annual unemployment rate of less than 5 percent since
1990, and
• Sales tax revenue that grew by 7.9 percent during the fiscal year.
Part of the reason the City has been insulated from some of the effects of the slower national and
state economy is due to the major influence of Texas A&M University on the local economy.
The Fiscal Year 2008 budget was prepared with the key goal of focusing the resources of the
organization to improve the quality of life in College Station at a reasonable cost. This is done by
continuing a prudent approach to City finances, meeting strategic priorities identified by the City
Council, maintaining service quality and excellence, and enhancing and maintaining infrastructure
and public facilities needed to provide excellent services. The ad valorem tax rate for the 2008
fiscal year is $0.4394 per $100 valuation ($0.1933 for operations and maintenance and $0.2461 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.
Current and anticipated growth in the community has resulted in increased demands for services
and has put pressure on the City's utility systems. Consequently, the 2008 budget includes a 9
percent increase in the Electric Fund. This rate increase is needed to meet the operating, capital
and debt service coverage requirements in the fund and to ensure continued high quality service is
provided as the community continues to grow. The 2008 budget does not include a rate increase in
the Water Fund, Sewer Fund, Sanitation Fund, or Drainage Fund.
The fiscal year 2008 budget for capital improvements totals $45,761,725. The City anticipates
significant expenditures for infrastructure rehabilitation and improvements on projects in the
Northgate area and continued improvements in the Southside area. These projects include
rehabilitation of utilities, drainage ways, and streets. Some of the more significant projects are as
follows (amounts presented reflect appropriations over the life of the project):

Reconciliation of Governmental Funds Balance Sheet
to the Statement of Net Assets
As of September 30, 2007
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net assets
are different because:
Total Fund Balance per balance sheet: 69,453,703$
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial
resources and, therefore, are not reported in the funds. 174,186,433
Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current-period
expenditures and, therefore, are deferred in the funds. 1,789,897
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs
of certain activities, such as insurance, fleet maintenance,
equipment replacement and print/mail, to individual funds.
The assets and liabilities of certain internal service funds are
included in governmental activities in the statement of net assets. 19,213,433
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in
the current period and therefore are not reported in the funds. (100,198,436)
The issuance of debt is treated as an other financing source, and
therefore is not capitalized and amortized over the life of the debt.
The premium on issued debt is treated as an other financing source
and thus is not amortized annually. Refunding debt is
treated as an other financing use and is not treated as a deferred
charge and amortized over the life of the debt. 362,332
Net Assets of governmental activities: 164,807,362$

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures,
and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
to the Statement of Activities
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
are different because:
Net change in fund balance - total governmental funds: 1,907,581$
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However,
in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated
over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation
expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded
depreciation in the current period. 6,586,062
The effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital
assets is to increase net assets. 4,652,941
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current
financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. 289,513
The issuance of long-term debt 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. This amount is the net effect of these
differences in the treatment of long-term debt. (140,000)
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require
the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not
reported as expenditures in governmental funds. 30,585
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs
of certain activities, such as insurance, fleet maintenance,
equipment replacement and print/mail, to individual funds.
The net revenues of certain activities of internal service
funds is reported within governmental activities. (973,364)
Change in Net Assets of governmental activities: 12,353,318$

STATEMENTS

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 holds a 50% interest and ownership 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 (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement
of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary 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
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial
statements. 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. Revenues are recognized
as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
City of College Station, Texas
36
when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter 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.
The Debt Service Fund accounts for the financial resources accumulated for the payment
of principal, interest and related costs on long-term debt paid primarily from taxes levied by
the City. The fund balance of the Debt Service Fund is reserved to signify that the amounts
are restricted exclusively for debt service expenditures.
The Streets Capital Projects Fund accounts for the costs of new street construction, street
improvements, and traffic signalization made with funds provided by proceeds from the sale
of general obligation bonds and by investing those proceeds.
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.
The Sewer 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,
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
City of College Station, Texas
37
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 sewer 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; activities related to the City's printing and mail
operations; 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.
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 Sewer 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, sewer, 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 unrestricted resources first, and then restricted 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.
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
City of College Station, Texas
38
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.
Investments
Investments are made in accordance with the City's Investment Policy which was adopted by
the City Council in October 2006. 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.
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
City of College Station, Texas

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.
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 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.
Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond September 30, 2007,
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."
Restricted Assets
In the Enterprise Funds, proceeds of utility revenue bonds, 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 customer and is not available
for operations. In the General Fund, restricted assets are comprised of Municipal Court cash
bonds, Municipal Court technology funds, Municipal Court efficiency time payment fee funds,
Municipal Court security funds, Municipal Court juvenile case manager funds, and police
seizure funds, all of which are not available for operations.
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
sewer 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.
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
Sewer 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
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
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
City of College Station, Texas
41
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 reservations of fund balance for
amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for
use for specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans
that are subject to change.
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

II. Reconciliation of Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
A. Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and
the Government-Wide Statement of Net Assets
The governmental fund balance sheet includes reconciliation between fund balance--total
governmental funds and net assets--governmental activities as reported in the government-
wide statement of net assets. The details of this $95,353,659 difference are as follows:
When capital assets (land, buildings, equipment, etc.) that are to be used
in governmental activities are purchased or constructed, the costs of
those assets are reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
However, the statement of net assets includes those capital assets
among the assets of the City as a whole.
Cost of Capital Assets 276,688,300$
Accumulated Depreciation (102,501,868)
Net Capital Assets 174,186,432$
Long-term liabilities applicable to the City's governmental activities are
not due and payable in the current period and, accordingly, are not
reported as fund liabilities in the governmental funds. All liabilities, both
current and long-term, are reported in the statement of net assets.
Bonds Payable (97,460,000)$
Accrued Interest Payable (643,271)
Compensated Absences (2,095,165)
(100,198,436)$
Governmental funds report the issuance of debt as an other financing
source in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances. In contrast, issuance costs should be
capitalized and amortized over the life of the debt.
Deferred issuance costs 266,269$
Amoritization of issuance costs (15,514)
250,755$
When a governmental entity issues debt at a discount or a premium, the
discount/premium is ignored in recording interest expenditures in a
governmental fund; however, the discount/premium must be amortized
annually to report interest on an accrual basis in the government-wide
financial statements.
Premium on Bonds (373,648)$
Amortization of premium 31,137
(342,511)$
A refunding transaction essentially combines the issuance of new debt
and the repayment of existing debt. The key difference is that the
disparity between the net carrying value of the refunded debt and its
reacquisition price is treated as a deferred charge (this amount is treated
as a deduction from or an addition to the new debt liability) in the
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
City of College Station, Texas
43
government-wide statement of net assets and subsequently amortized
over the life of the refunding or refunded debt, whichever is shorter.
Deferred charge - Refunding 495,369$
Accrued Interest Payable (41,281)
454,088$
Total Deferred/Capitalized
Items 362,332$
Because the focus of governmental funds is on short-term financing,
some assets will not be available to pay for current period expenditures.
Those assets (for example, receivables) are offset by deferred revenues
in the governmental funds and, thus, are not included in fund balance.
Deferred revenue for emergency medical services, paving assessments,
and property taxes shown on the governmental fund statements is not
deferred on the statement of net assets.
Deferred Property Tax Revenue 460,262$
Deferred Emergency Medical Services Revenue 219,421
Deferred fines/Penalties 652,955
Paving Assessment Revenue 373,512
Other Deferred Revenue 83,747
1,789,897$
Internal service funds are used by management to charge certain
activities, such as self insurance, print-mail services, and fleet
maintenance, to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of certain
internal service funds are included in governmental activities in the
statement of net assets.
19,213,433$
B. Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances and the Government-Wide
Statement of Activities
The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances
includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances--total governmental funds and
changes in net assets of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement
of activities. One element of that reconciliation explains that "Governmental funds report capital
outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is
allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense." The details
of this $6,586,062 difference are as follows:
Capital Outlay 14,213,574$
Depreciation Expense (7,627,512)
Net Adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances-
total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets
of governmental activities 6,586,062$
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
City of College Station, Texas
44
Another element of that reconciliation states that "The net effect of various miscellaneous
transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales, trade-ins, and donations) is to increase net
assets." The details of the $4,652,941 difference are as follows:
Donated Capital Assets 5,239,485$
Proceeds from Sale of Fixed Assets (318,103)
Loss on Sale of Assets (268,441)
The net effect of miscellaneous capital asset transactions
increase net assets in the statement of activities, but do not
appear in the governmental funds because they are not
financial resources. 4,652,941$
Another element of that reconciliation states that "The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds,
leases) 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 these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities." The details
of this ($140,000) difference are as follows:
Debt issued or incurred:
Issuance of General Obligation Bonds
and Certificates of Obligation (18,145,000)$
Principal Retirement 18,005,000
Net Adjustment to decrease net changes in fund balances-
total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets of
governmental activities (140,000)$
Another element of that reconciliation states that "Some expenses reported in the statement of
activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported
as expenditures in governmental funds." The details of this $30,585 difference are as follows:
Compensated Absences (278,628)$
Accrued Interest & amortization (78,777)
Premium on debt capitalized (373,648)
Issuance Costs Deferred 266,269
Refunding Deferred 495,369
Net Adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances-
total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets of
governmental activities 30,585$

Appropriations that have not been expended or lawfully encumbered lapse at the end of the
budget year.
2. Formal budgetary integration is legally enacted and employed as a management control
device during the year for all funds.

expenditures in the Debt Service Fund. The expenditures in the Business Park, Drainage
Projects and Parks Projects were budgeted in prior years. Overall, these projects remained
within budget.
IV. Detailed Notes on All Funds
A. Cash and Investments
Cash and investments are accounted for within the pooled cash fund of the City. The City
records investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools.
Cash and cash equivalents, investment balances and interest income are allocated to the City’s
participating funds on a monthly basis. The amount of the allocation is based on each fund's
proportional equity to total pooled equity.
Weighted Average
Fair Value Maturity (days)
Bank Demand Accounts 2,790,350$ 1
U.S. Agency Bonds 44,802,038 629
Treasury Securities 8,264,934 192
Texas Local Government Investment Pool 71,801,222 1
Fidelity Money Market Mutual Fund 1,796,026 1
129,454,570$
Portfolio Weighted Average Maturity 445
Interest rate risk. In accordance with the City's Investment Policy, interest rate risk is managed
by limiting the weighted average maturity of the investment portfolio to two years (approximately
720 days) or less and by limiting the maximum maturity of any security purchased to five years
or less.
Credit risk. Investments authorized by the City’s policy are those approved by the revised State
of Texas Public Funds Investment Act of 1997 and the Texas Public Collateral Act of 1989.
These investments include the following:
Obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities;
Direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies;
Other obligations, the principal and interest on which is unconditionally
guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the United States or its
agencies;
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
City of College Station, Texas
47
Obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions
of any state having been rated as to investment quality by a nationally
recognized investment rating firm and having received a rating of not less than
“A” or its equivalent;
Certificates of deposit issued by state and national banks domiciled in Texas
that are secured by obligations qualified as acceptable collateral;
Certificates of deposit issued by savings and loan associations domiciled in
Texas that are secured obligations qualified as acceptable collateral;
Repurchase agreements or reverse repurchase agreements;
Commercial paper with a stated maturity of 270 days or less from the date of
issuance that is rated not less than “A-1,” “P-1,” or its equivalent;
Money market mutual funds that are SEC registered no-load funds with dollar-
weighted average portfolio maturity of 120 days or less;
Guaranteed investment contracts; or
Public funds investment pools.
As of September 30, 2007 the City’s investments were rated by Standard & Poor's and Moody's
as follows:
S&P Moody's
Texpool AAAm N/A*
Fidelity Money Market Mutual Fund AAAm Aaa

Credit concentration. With the exception of U.S. Treasury securities and authorized pools, the
City's Investment Policy limits the investment in a single security type or with a single financial
institution to 30%. It also limits the overall investment in Federal Agency securities to 70%. At
September 30, 2007 the issuers whose securities represented more than 5% of the City's
investment portfolio were as follows: the Federal Home Loan Bank (16%) and the Federal Farm
Credit Bank (18%).
Custodian credit risk - deposits. In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a
bank failure, the government's deposits may not be returned to it. The City of College Station's
City Council has approved a depository services contract which governs its depository
relationship. This contract requires that deposits not covered by depository insurance be
collateralized at 105%.
Custodian credit risk - investments. For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event of the
failure of the counterparty, the government will not be able to recover the value of its
investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City's
investment portfolio requires that all security transactions be conducted on a Delivery-vs.-
Payment basis and that all securities be held by a third party custodian and evidenced by
safekeeping receipts.

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 Sewer Funds.
General Obligation Bonds and Certificates
The City issues general obligation bonds to provide funds for the acquisition and construction of
major capital facilities. General obligation bonds are direct obligations and pledge the full faith
and credit of the City.
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
general obligation bonds and certificate indentures. The City is in compliance with the
significant limitations and restrictions at September 30, 2007.
On November 21, 2006, the City issued $10.255 million in General Obligation Refunding Bonds
with a true interest cost of 3.922554%. The proceeds from the sale of the bonds were used to
currently refund $1,860,000 and advance refund $8,325,000 of the City’s General Obligation
Bonds in order to achieve annual and net present value savings in the City’s annual debt

service expense. The proceeds were also used to pay the costs incurred in connection with the
issuance of the Bonds.
On August 6, 2007 the City issued $3.930 million in General Obligation Improvement Bonds
with a true interest cost of 4.6086%. The proceeds from the sale of the bonds will be used to
(1) pay for the cost of construction and acquisition of and improvements to City streets,
sidewalk improvements, traffic signals and control systems, parks and park facilities; and (2)
pay the costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds.
On August 6, 2007 the City issued $3.960 million in Certificates of Obligation with a true interest
cost of 4.6098%. The proceeds from the sale of the Certificates will be used to pay for the cost
of (1) park projects; (2) design and construction of a new City-owned cemetery; (3) design and
construction of and improvements to public municipal facilities; (4) technology projects; and (5)
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 Sewer
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 to an amount equal to the average
annual principal and interest requirements of all outstanding bonds secured by the net
revenues of the system.
On August 6, 2007 the City issued $18.665 million in Utility System Revenue Bonds with a true
interest cost of 4.5507%. Proceeds from the sale of the bonds will be used for electric, water,
and wastewater system improvements and for payment of the costs incurred in connection with
the issuance of the Bonds.
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, 2007,
the City did not have an arbitrage rebate liability.
Defeasance
On December 1, 2006 the City issued General Obligation Refunding bonds with an average
interest rate of 4.31% to refund $10,185,000 of series 1996, 1998, and 2000 General Obligation
and Refunding Bonds, and series 2000 Certificates of Obligation. As a result of this refunding,
the City will reduce its total debt service payments over the next 12 years by approximately
$651,000 and will obtain an economic gain (difference between the present values of the debt
service payments on the old and new debt) of $506,168. The proceeds from the issuance of
the bonds were used to purchase U.S. Government securities that were placed in an
irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide debt service payments on the bonds being
refunded. As a result, the refunded bonds are considered to be defeased, and the liability has
been removed from the Governmental Activities column of the City's financial statements.
In prior years, the City has defeased certain revenue refunding bonds totaling $74,140,000 and
certain general obligation bonds and certificates of obligation totaling $18,392,126 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.
At September 30, 2007, the outstanding principal balance of the defeased revenue refunding
bonds was $20,335,000 and the outstanding principal balance of the defeased general
obligation bonds and certificates of obligation was $14,910,000.
The assets, liabilities, and financial transactions of all of these trust accounts and the liability for
refunded (defeased) bonds are not reflected in the financial statements of the City.

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, 2007. 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
$1,000,000. The liability for outstanding losses includes $285,000 for claims incurred but not
reported as of September 30, 2007.
In fiscal year 2007 the City was insured by Affiliated FM 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 $100,000 deductible 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 State National Insurance Company that is A.M. Best rated A-VII. The self-
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
State National Insurance Company, and the TPA 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 the potential liability of
$477,149 in the property and casualty fund and the potential liability of $423,878 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.

For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
City of College Station, Texas

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 2007 and
2006 are as follows:
2007 2006
Unpaid Claims, October 1 1,165,874$ 1,659,202$
Incurred Claims (including IBNR's) 4,569,605 4,140,516
Claims Paid (4,549,452) (4,633,844)
Unpaid Claims, September 30 1,186,027$ 1,165,874$
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 has 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.
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 adopted by the BVSWMA Board and approved by either City Council.
All contracts and expenditures in excess of $50,000 require the approval of the College Station
City Council.
The City's share of BVSWMA's change in net assets for fiscal year 2007 was $1,025,440.
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
$3.7 million reported as accrued postclosure maintenance costs at September 30, 2007,
represents the cumulative amount reported to date based on the use of 84 percent of the
estimated capacity of the landfill. BVSWMA will recognize the remaining estimated cost of
closure and postclosure care of $724,000 as the remaining estimated capacity is filled. These
amounts are based on what it would cost to perform all closure and postclosure care in 2007.
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.

D. Retirement Plan
The City has adopted GASB Statement No. 25, Financial Reporting for Defined Benefit Pension
Plans and Note Disclosures for Defined Contribution Plans, and GASB Statement No. 27,
Accounting for Pensions by State and Local Government Employees. These statements require
the following disclosures:
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"), one of 821 administered by TMRS, an agent multiple-employer public
employee retirement system.
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
City of College Station, Texas

Benefits
Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, with interest, and the
City-financed monetary credits, with interest. At the date the plan began, the City granted
monetary credits for service rendered before the plan began of a theoretical amount at least
equal to two times what would have been contributed by the employee, with interest, prior to
establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service since the plan began are 200 percent of
the employee's accumulated contributions. In addition, the City can grant as often as annually,
another type of monetary credit referred to as an updated service credit which is a theoretical
amount which, when added to the employee's accumulated contributions and the monetary
credits for service since the plan began, would be the total monetary credits and employee
contributions accumulated with interest if the current employee contribution rate and City
matching percent had always been in existence and if the employee's salary had always been
the average of his salary in the last three years that are one year before the effective date. At
retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's accumulated contributions
with interest and the employer-financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase
an annuity.
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:
Deposit Rate: 7%
Matching Ratio (City to Employee): 2 to 1
Members Vested After: 5 years
Members can retire at age 60 and above with 5 or more years of service or with 20 years of
service regardless of age. A member is vested after 5 years. The plan provisions are adopted
by the governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing
TMRS and within the actuarial constraints also in the statutes.
Contributions
Under the state law governing TMRS, the actuary annually determines the City contribution
rate. This rate consists of the normal cost contribution rate and the prior service cost
contribution rate, both of which are calculated to be a level percent of payroll from year to year.
The normal cost contribution rate finances the currently accruing monetary credits due to the
City matching percent, which are the obligation of the City as of an employee’s retirement date,
not at the time the employee’s contributions are made. The normal cost contribution rate is the
actuarially determined percent of payroll necessary to satisfy the obligation of the City to each
employee at the time his/her retirement becomes effective. The prior service contribution rate
amortizes the unfunded (overfunded) actuarial liability (asset) over the remainder of the plan’s
25-year amortization period. The unit credit actuarial cost method is used for determining the
City contribution rate. Both the employees and the City make 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 is the basis for the rate and the calendar year when
the rate goes into effect. (i.e. December 31, 2006 valuation is effective for rates beginning
January 2008).

The following is a schedule of actuarial liabilities and funding progress:

Plus Annual Pension Cost:
Annual Required Contribution (ARC) 4,316,276
Less Contributions Made 4,316,276
NPO at the End of the Period -$
Actuarial assumptions as of the latest actuarial valuation are as follows:
Actuarial Cost Method: Unit Credit
Amortization Method: Level Percent of Payroll
Remaining Amortization Period: 25 Years--Open Period
Asset Valuation Method: Amortized Cost (to accurately
reflect the requirements of
GASB Statement No. 25,
paragraphs 36e and 138)
Investment Rate of Return: 7%
Projected Salary Increases: None
Includes Inflation at: 3.50%
Cost-of-Living Adjustments: None
Each of the 821 Municipalities have an annual, individual actuarial valuation performed. All
assumptions for the 12/31/06 valuations are contained in the 2006 TMRS Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report, a copy of which may be obtained by writing to P.O. Box 149153, Austin, Texas
78714-9153.
At its December 8, 2007 meeting, the TMRS Board of Trustees adopted actuarial assumptions to
be used in the actuarial valuation for the year ended December 31, 2007. A summary of actuarial
assumptions and definitions can be found in the December 31, 2007 TMRS Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR).
Since its inception, TMRS has used the traditional Unit Credit actuarial funding method. This
method accounts for liability accrued as of the valuation date but does not project the potential
future liability of provisions adopted by a city. Two-thirds of the cities participating in TMRS have
adopted the Updated Service Credit and Annuity Increases provisions on an annually repeating
basis. These provisions are considered to be “committed” benefits (or likely to be guaranteed); as
such, the TMRS Board has adopted the Projected Unit Credit (PUC) actuarial funding method,
which facilitates advance funding for future updated service credits and annuity increases that are
adopted on an annually repeating basis. For the December 31, 2007 valuation, the TRMS Board
determined that the PUC method will be used.

In addition, the Board also adopted a change in the amortization period from a 25-year “open” to a
25-year “closed” period. TMRS Board of Trustee rules provide that, whenever a change in actuarial
assumptions or methods results in a contribution rate increase in an amount greater than 0.5%, the
amortization period may be increased up to 30 years, unless a city requests that the period remain
at 25 years. For cities with repeating features, these changes will likely result in higher required
contributions and lower funded ratios. To assist in this transition to higher rates, the Board also
approved an eight-year phase-in period, which will allow cities the opportunity to increase their
contributions gradually (approximately 12.5% each year) to their full rate (or their required
contribution rate).

Post Retirement/Employment Benefits
In addition to providing pension benefits, the City provides certain health care benefits for
retired employees as established by City Resolution No. 9-13-90-5.10, which was passed and
approved by the City Council on September 13, 1990. According to this resolution, employees
who retire while working for the City and their dependents are eligible to remain on the City’s
health plan as long as the employee makes monthly premium payments. During fiscal year
2007, fifteen former employees were covered under this arrangement. 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 2007, 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, 2007 was $20,234. As of September 30, 2007 the City had one COBRA
participant.

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

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.

assessed value that is within the City's boundaries and dividing it by each unit's total assessed value.
