Structure
The City of College Station is a home rule city operating under the Council-Manager form of
government. The City Council is composed of a mayor and six council members, elected at
large, who enact local laws, determine policies and adopt the annual budget. The City Manager
is appointed by the City Council and is responsible for the daily management of the City. The
Basic Financial Statements of the City include all government activities, organizations and
functions for which the City is financially responsible as defined by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board. Based on these criteria, no other governmental organizations are included in
this report. For additional information on the reporting entity, refer to Note I-A in the basic
financial statements .
Services Provided
The City provides its citizens those services that have proven to be necessary and meaningful
and which the City can provide at the least cost. Major services provided under general
government and enterprise functions are: police and fire protection, emergency ambulance
service, electric services, water and wastewater services, sanitation services, parks and
recreation facilities, library services, street improvements and general administrative services.
Internal services of the City, accounted for on a cost reimbursement basis, are fleet services,
equipment replacement, risk management, employee health and disability coverage .
Accounting System and Budgetary Control
The City's accounting records for general governmental operations are maintained on a modified
accrual basis, with the revenues recorded when available and measurable, and expenditures
recorded when the services or goods are received and the liabilities incurred . Accounting records
for the City's utilities and other proprietary activities are maintained on a full accrual basis with
revenues recorded when earned and expenses recorded as goods or services are provided to the
user.
In developing and maintaining the City's accounting system, consideration is given to the
adequacy of the internal control structure. Internal accounting controls are designed to provide
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss
from unauthorized use or disposition, and (2) the reliability of financial records for preparing
financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets . The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be
derived, and (2) the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by
management.
All internal accounting control evaluations occur within the above framework . We believe that the
City's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable
assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.
The City charter provides that the City Council shall adopt the annual budget prepared by City
Management as revised by the City Council. This budget is reviewed and revised by the City
Council and is formally adopted by the passage of a budget ordinance . The City Manager is
authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between line items and departments within all funds
other than the General Fund . The City Council must authorize transfers between General Fund
departments and all increases in total spending in any fund.
Budgetary control over spending is at the department level within the City's General Fund and at
the individual fund appropriation in all other funds. The City's departments have direct access to
review budgets as often as necessary. Monthly closing reports are prepared and reviewed by
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 felt the impacts of the slowing national and state economies, but has seen
some signs of improvement recently as well. The downturn in the economy has resulted in lower
revenues and the need to make budget reductions as a result of that lower revenue. Despite the
slowdown, some growth has continued to occur locally . The concentration of relatively stable
employment sectors such as government and higher education contribute to the steady growth
College Station has experienced over the last several years . This growth provides some of the
resources needed to limit reductions in service levels to the citizens and visitors of College
Station . Challenges remain as traditionally strong revenue streams slowed significantly, and
even declined.
In 2009 sales tax collections in College Station fell for the first time in many years. In fiscal year
2010, sales tax revenue was down by 0.6 percent. In 2011 sales tax revenues increased by
5.1 %. Sales tax revenues are anticipated to grow modestly in the near future.
College Station continues to see development. There were 466 new housing starts during 2011.
There were also 552 apartments, duplexes, and other living units permitted in 2011. Total ad
valorem assessed valuation increased by approximately $281 million or approximately 5.2
percent for fiscal year 2012 over fiscal year 2011. Commercial development continued to occur
with new and redevelopment construction.
The City of College Station's major asset is being the home of Texas A&M University (TAMU).
TAMU is located on an approximately 5,200 acre campus within the City. TAMU has a significant
economic impact on the City, contributing over a billion dollars annually to the local economy .
TAMU has consistently ranked among the top 50 universities in the United States. Each year,
TAMU's approximately 2,500 faculty members conduct an estimated $450 million worth of
sponsored research projects. Student enrollment at T AMU was 49,861 as of September 2011 .
TAMU employs more than 20,000 full-time and part-time staff. The impact of budget reductions
from the State of Texas will be monitored to determine how they may impact the local economy,
and the City of College Station .
2011 Major Accomplishments
Below are highlight accomplishments for 2011.
• Maintaining a Balanced Budget: Each department examined its organizational
structure, programs, and practices in preparation for the budget. This resulted in the
implementation of a reorganizational plan . It significantly improved efficiency by
refocusing resources on core services and identified $1.5 million in cost savings.
• Providing reliable utilities : The unprecedented drought and heat during 2011 placed a
strain on utility systems. College Station Utilities hit an all-time summer load peak and
did not have any significant system failures . Twin Oaks Landfill operated by Brazos
Valley Solid Waste Management Agency Inc . was opened in June 2011 . This landfill is
projected to serve College Station and the surrounding area for up to 100 years.
• Reducing Crime and the Fear of Crime: College Station continues to be one of the
safest communities of its size thanks to the diligent work of the Police Department.
Burglary is down 32% in 2011, aggravated assaults have declined 10%, and alcohol
related accidents have decreased 12%. The Police Department continues to establish
connections with neighborhoods and individual residents through a number of new and
expanded programs. In 2011, four bicycle officer positions were added. The City Watch
Program, which utilizes city route drivers and work crews to help spot and report
suspicious activity, was established .
3
• Economic and Community Development -As a part of the city-wide reorganization ,
the Economic Development Department was dissolved and its responsibilities were
transferred to the City Manager 's Office . Placing economic development in this office has
allowed for a more efficient and effective handling of the City's economic development.
Major development opportunities being actively pursued are:
o Inter-local agreements between the cities of College Station and Bryan for future
development of the Research Valley Bio-Corridor, located on approximately 196
acres on the western edge of both cities .
o 15 developer-friendly amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance were
approved, including a mobile food vendor permit that allows 12 permitted food
vendors to safely and successfully operate in the city.
o The Home and CDBG programs provided assistance to more than 3,300 eligible
residents while also providing over $150,000 to seven local public service
agencies .
• Improving Mobility
o Growth in the southern portion of the city has placed a strain on State Highway 6
and Rock Prairie Road . In 2011 , the city worked with Bryan-College Station
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Texas Department of
Transportation to secure nearly $5 million in funding to upgrade the Rock Prairie
Road Bridge and intersection .
o Public Works instituted a pilot project to evaluate an alternat ive to the traditional
chip seal method when overlaying certain roadways . Approximately 85,000
square yards of asphalt streets were micro-surfaced to extend the life of the
pavement.
• Neighborhood Integrity -Subdivision regulations were updated and six new
homeowners and neighborhood associations were developed. A new mobile technology
tool (See-Click-Fix) was implemented . This tool allows citizens to report code
enforcement violations or other non-emergency issues such as curb damage or missing
signs via their smart phones.
• Continuing Green College Station efforts -Parks and Recreation department was
able to complete the installation of irrigation system upgrades and smart controllers as
well as LED parking lot lighting and solar-powered trash compactors at Veteran's and
Central Parks. Pilot programs were undertaken in an effort to reduce costs and promote
conservation, including the use of nitrogen in vehicular tires, synthetic motor oil,
retreaded tires on certain equipment and lighter weight copy paper city wide . Other
initiatives include :
o Purchased a new hybrid sanitation truck which is estimated to have payback of
less than five years .
o College Station Utilities performed 206 on-site energy audits and certified 35
Good Cents homes .
o Public Works and Water Services partnered to make repairs on the city's
irrigation systems by updating our sprinkler systems to realize water conservation
and savings in utility costs .
• Capital Projects Completed in 2011
o Royder Road Improvements

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 Serv ices and any separate or subordinate accounts kept by any other
office, department or agency of the city government.
The City of College Station has engaged Ingram, Wallis & Company , Certified Public
Accountants, of Bryan , Texas to perform the audit, and their opinion has been included in this
report. It should be noted that the auditors included all funds in their audit, performed their audit
in accordance with U .S . generally accepted auditing standards, and concluded, based upon the
audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City of
College Station's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 are fairly
presented in conformity with U.S . generally accepted accounting principles . The independent
auditors' report is presented as the first component of the financial section of th is 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 30,2010. 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-seven out of the last twenty-eight 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 the Executive Director Business
Services, 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 employees throughout the organization, especially those employees who were
instrumental in the successful completion of this report .
Acknowledgement is also given to the representatives of Ingram , Wallis & Company for their
assistance in producing the final product.
Our appreciation is also extended to the Mayor and City Council for their interest and support in
planning and conducting the financial operations of the City in a responsible and progressive
manner .

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities
at the close of the most recent fiscal year by
$410,669,001(net assets). Of this amount,
$62,908,795(unrestricted net assets) may be
used to meet the government's ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The City's total net assets increased by
$8,303,007 during the fiscal year.
• At the close of the current fiscal year, the
City's governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of
$70,720,131 a decrease of $8,517,529
when compared to the prior year.

governmental funds ending fund balance, or
$12,871,125 are available for spending at
the City's discretion (unassigned fund

City of College Station, Texas
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview
of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with
the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net
assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether or not the financial position of the City is
improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the
underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in
cash flows in future fiscal periods, such as revenues pertaining to uncollected taxes and
expenses pertaining to earned but unused vacation.
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from
other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user
fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include
general government, fiscal services, police, information technology, planning and development,
fire, municipal services, streets, drainage, traffic, parks and recreation, and citizen and
neighborhood resources. The business-type activities of the City include electric, water,
wastewater, sanitation, and the Northgate parking garage. The government-wide financial
statements can be found on pages 29-31.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have
been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local
governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related
legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into governmental funds and
proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-
term inflows and outflows of spendable resources as well as on balances of spendable resources
available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in determining what
financial resources are available in the near future to finance the City's programs.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term
financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
The City maintains several individual governmental funds organized according to their type
(special revenue, debt service, and capital projects). Information is presented separately in the
governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund, and
Streets Projects Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the remaining
governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for
each of the non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements
elsewhere in this report. The governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 32-
35.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund, Debt Service Fund, Special
Revenue Funds, and Capital Projects Funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been
provided for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund, Special Revenue Funds, and Capital Projects
Funds to demonstrate compliance with their budgets.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary funds are generally used to account for services for which the City charges
customers--either outside customers or internal units or departments of the City. Proprietary
funds provide the same type of information as shown in the government-wide financial
statements, only in more detail. The City maintains the following two types of proprietary funds:
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type
activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to
account for the operations of the electric, water, wastewater, sanitation, and parking
activities of the City. The Electric, Water, and Wastewater funds are considered to be
major funds of the City, while the remaining funds (Sanitation and Northgate Parking
Garage) are presented in aggregate as non-major enterprise funds. Individual fund data
for the non-major enterprise funds can be found in the form of combining statements
elsewhere in this report.
Internal service funds are used to report activities that provide supplies and services for
certain City programs and activities. The City uses internal service funds to account for
communication, fleet maintenance and utility customer services. It also uses internal
service funds to account for equipment replacement; employee benefits; and
unemployment, workers' compensation, and property and casualty insurance. All of
these services, with the exception of utility customer service, predominantly benefit
governmental rather than business-type functions and have been included within
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. The Utility
Customer Service Fund has been included with the business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. The internal service funds are combined into a
single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual
fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements
elsewhere in this report.
The proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 36-38.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.

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 78-
123 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 $410,669,001 at the close of the most recent fiscal
year.
The largest portion of the City's net assets (78.1 percent) reflects its investment of $320,606,468
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.

An additional portion of the City's net assets, $27,153,738 (6.6 percent) represents resources that
are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of
unrestricted net assets, $62,908,795 (15.3 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 $8,303,007 as a result of fiscal year 2011 operations.
The increase is primarily attributable to Increases in Charges for Services in FY 11 over FY 10.
The following table provides a summary of the City's operations for the year ended September
30, 2011 and highlights key elements of the change in the City's net assets:

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
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, unassigned 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 major governmental funds reported by the City include the General Fund,
Debt Service Fund, and Streets 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 $70,720,131. Approximately 18.2 percent ($12,871,125) of this total amount
constitutes unassigned fund balance and is available for spending at the City's discretion. The
remainder of fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because
it has already been committed as follows:
Nonspendable $ 7,948,685
Restricted $ 46,213,492
Committed $ 3,149,243
Assigned $ 537,586
Unassigned $ 12,871,125
A detailed breakdown of the fund balance can be found in Note IV. I. Components of Fund
Balances.
Overall, revenues for governmental functions totaled $66,746,645 in the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2011, a decrease of 2.2 percent or $1,514,807 from the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010. Expenditures for governmental functions totaling $88,582,535 increased by
approximately 2.4 percent ($2,106,188) from the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. In fiscal
year 2011, expenditures for governmental functions exceeded revenues by $8,151,882. This is
primarily due to construction progress on street capital projects during the fiscal year.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of College Station. At the end of the
current fiscal year, the unassigned fund balance was $12,871,125 while the total fund balance
was $14,393,057. The City's fiscal and budgetary policies require that the General Fund's fund
balance be at least equal to 15 percent of budgeted expenditures, a percentage equal to 55 days
of expenditures. The total fund balance is approximately 24.2 percent of fiscal year 2011
amended budgeted expenditures and exceeds the minimum requirement set by policy.
As a measure of the fund's liquidity, it is useful to compare both unassigned and total fund
balance to total fund actual expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 22.9 percent of
total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 25.6 percent of total general
fund expenditures. The total fund balance for the general fund continues to meet and exceed the
Fiscal and Budgetary Policy of having 15 percent of expenditures available in fund balance.
21
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
The General Fund’s fund balance increased by $577,176 during the current fiscal year. The key
factors in this change follow:
• The fiscal year 2011 original budget anticipated a minimal increase in fund balance as a
result of budget reductions.
• Sales tax revenues came in higher than anticipated in fiscal year 2011.
• Overall expenditures were down by approximately 1.4 percent, due to reductions in the
budget, and as a result of moving some activities out of the General Fund.
The Debt Service Fund ended the fiscal year with a fund balance of $4,304,594. This entire
amount is reserved for the payment of debt service. The net increase in fund balance during the
current fiscal year was $184,628. Revenues received during the year were enough to cover
principal retirements and interest payments.
The Street Projects Fund ended the fiscal year with a balance of $13,578,973. 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
$8,307,574. This decrease was attributable to construction progress on street capital projects
during the fiscal year.
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 $209,470,085. 15.8 percent ($33,213,210) of this total amount constitutes unrestricted
net assets. The remainder of net assets for the proprietary funds, $176,256,875, is reported as
follows:
• Invested in capital assets, net of related debt ($174,668,244), and
• Restricted for debt service ($1,588,631).
Operating revenues for proprietary activities totaled $138,823,363 for the fiscal year, an increase
of 12.4 percent or $15,298,234 from the previous fiscal year. Operating expenses increased
$6,571,208 or 5.9 percent for the same period. Operating income was $22,326,668 for the fiscal
year. The proprietary funds reported net non-operating expenses of $3,096,374 at the end of
fiscal year 2011 as compared to net non-operating expenses of $5,400,654 in the previous fiscal
year. Proprietary net assets increased $9,525,784 in fiscal year 2011.
Electric Fund
At the end of the fiscal year, the unrestricted net assets for the Electric Fund totaled $2,113,380.
The electric utility ended the fiscal year with working capital (current assets minus current liabilities)
of $8,530,959, an increase of 99.2 percent from fiscal year 2010. 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, 2011, Electric Fund working capital
equaled approximately 9.3 percent of annual operating expenses, as compared to 5.0 percent at
September 30, 2010.
22
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
Electric Fund operating revenues increased by 10.5 percent ($9,578,989) during fiscal year 2011,
while operating expenses increased 5.9 percent ($5,090,243) during the same period. This
resulted in operating income of $9,108,582. The increase in operating income is attributable to an
increase in power sales due to the hot weather conditions in fiscal year 2011. The above resulted in
an increase in net assets of $1,221,184 in the Electric Fund during the fiscal year.
Water Fund
Unrestricted net assets for the Water Fund at September 30, 2011 were $9,169,243. Working
capital in the Water Fund at the end of fiscal year 2011 was $6,662,956, an increase of
approximately 19.8 percent from fiscal year 2010. Water Fund working capital was 82.1 percent
of total operating expense.
Water Fund operating revenues increased by 34.8 percent ($4,443,377) during fiscal year 2011.
Operating expenses of $8,124,461 increased 5.1 percent ($395,901) over fiscal year 2010. This
resulted in operating income of $9,064,089. The Water Fund's net assets increased $6,333,487
during the fiscal year.
Wastewater Fund
The Wastewater Fund's unrestricted net assets at the end of fiscal year 2011 were $7,507,258.
The Wastewater Fund ended the fiscal year with a working capital balance of $5,934,570 which
was 55.3 percent higher than fiscal year 2010. Fiscal year 2011 Wastewater Fund working capital
was 65.1 percent of total operating expenses and is well above the minimum requirement for the
fund.
Operating revenues in the Wastewater Fund were $12,640,392, a $1,118,367 (9.7 percent)
increase over the previous fiscal year. Operating expenses increased from $8,782,211 to
$9,115,656 or 3.8 percent while operating income increased by 28.6 percent from $2,739,814 to
$3,524,736. The Wastewater Fund net assets increased by $2,191,233 during the fiscal year.
BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The final amended budget for fiscal year 2011 totaled $245,953,101 for all funds. Of this amount
$215,060,075 (87.4 percent) was budgeted for operations and maintenance expenditures, and
$30,893,026 (12.6 percent) was budgeted for capital improvement projects.
In the General Fund the final amended budget showed a decrease in fund balance of $3,463,023.
The actual change in fund balance was an increase of $577,176. The following are some of the key
factors in the change in fund balance:
• Revenues were higher than the budget estimate due to modest increases in sales tax
revenues.
• Expenditures were overall lower due to reduced spending during the fiscal year.
Strategic planning is a driving force in the preparation of the City's budget. The City Council has
identified the following areas of strategic priority:
• Financially sustainable city providing response to core services and infrastructure.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS AND RATES
The economy over the last couple of years has struggled at all levels, but has seen some recovery
locally. As the fiscal year 2012 budget was prepared College Station continued to feel the effects of
the economic slowdown. The following are some key fiscal and economic indicators for College
Station including:
• Property tax values are up 5.2% or $280,921,622 for fiscal year 2012 over the previous year.
Total values are $5,738,615,002. Of this increase, $147,680,330 is due to new value being
added to the tax rolls.
• Since 1995 taxable values have increased from approximately $1.5 billion to approximately
$5.7 billion currently.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
• A local economy that has maintained an annual unemployment rate of less than 5 percent since
1990 saw higher unemployment of 6.3% in 2011.
• Sales and mixed drink beverage tax revenue, the largest revenue stream in the General Fund,
saw a healthy increase of 4.9% in fiscal year 2011.
Preparation of the fiscal year 2012 budget was especially challenging. The economic conditions
that the City faced over the last several years resulted in slower revenue growth, which impacted
the long term financial condition of the City. Adding to this challenge is the uncertainty in State
funding for education at all levels in Texas; increasing demands for services in a growing
community, including the operating costs for Fire Station #6; and policy changes to reduce the
Return on Investment transfer from the Electric Fund to the General Fund.
Economic Conditions Impact Budget Preparation
The past year continued to be a difficult one for the economy at all levels, including locally. This
year the State Legislature passed a budget that reduced funding for education at all levels in the
State. It is still not known what the impact of these reductions will be to the local economy, but
higher education jobs are the primary driver of the local job market. The uncertainty in the
economy results in lower spending levels, which impacts key revenue streams such as sales tax.
Reorganization Plan and Budget Reductions
After completing a thorough assessment of the City’s organizational structure, taking into
consideration the fiscal condition, as well as the fiscal year 2012 budget proposals from the
departments, the City Manager’s Office implemented a reorganization plan. The reorganization
has an impact on several departments that result in considerable recurring cost savings to the
City, and significantly improve efficiency by refocusing resources on core services. These
reductions include the reorganization of the Department of Economic and Community
Development by eliminating the Economic Development Division. This was accomplished by
moving the economic development responsibilities to the City Manager’s Office (CMO), and
shifting some of the remaining resources to the CMO. The Community Development and
Northgate divisions previously in the Economic and Community Development Department were
moved to the Planning and Development Services Department. There was also a significant
restructuring of the Parks and Recreation Department to better organize the management
structure in the department. There were other restructurings and reductions throughout the
organization as well.
In total, these reductions will save $1,231,885 from the General Fund and $284,489 from other
funds. These reductions eliminated 27.25 budgeted Full Time Equivalent positions throughout
the organization; 11 of those positions were filled. The decisions that were made in regards to
the reductions and eliminations were exceptionally difficult. However, these changes are
necessary to meet the City’s current and anticipated fiscal challenges and opportunities, and will
refocus the organization’s service levels and delivery more appropriately on core services until
some sustained economic recovery is seen.
Over the past several years, it has been necessary to reduce the budget due to lower than
anticipated revenues. In fiscal year 2009, the General Fund budget was reduced by a total of
$954,175. The fiscal year 2010 budget was reduced by a total of $3,393,098, and of this amount,
$2,193,338 was reduced from the General Fund. The fiscal year 2011 budget included budget
reductions of $1,175,096. The General Fund portion of the fiscal year 2011 budget reductions is
$993,096. The fiscal year 2012 budget was reduced by $1,624,696; the General Fund portion
was $1,333,207.
Over the last four years, a total of $7,147,065 has been removed from the City of College Station
operations and maintenance budget. This includes the elimination of 43.75 Full Time Equivalent

positions in fiscal year 2011 and fiscal year 2012. This includes the reorganization reductions
outlined earlier in this letter. It also includes the elimination of two Director level positions (Capital
Projects Director and Economic and Community Development Director), as well as middle
management and entry level positions. During this same timeframe 35 public safety positions
have been added to the budget. City staff continues to look for efficiencies in the way services
are provided.
Utility Transfer Policy Changes
The approved budget was prepared with changes to the Return on Investment (ROI) transfer
from the Electric Fund to the General Fund. The existing policy caps this transfer at 10.5% of
electric operating revenues. The electric portion of this transfer was budgeted at approximately
$8.81 million in fiscal year 2011, and has increased in recent years as revenues in the Electric
Fund have increased due to increases in purchased power costs. This new plan changes the
Return on Investment transfer from the Electric Utility Fund from a 2 part transfer including an “in
lieu of franchise fee” and a “return on investment” to the General Fund, to an “in lieu of franchise
fee” capped at 6% of electric revenues. In the future the transfer will be adjusted as electric sales
increase based on KWH usage figures.
The transfer was reduced in fiscal year 2012 by $2.0 million and will be reduced by an additional
$1.0 million in fiscal year 2013, for a total reduction of $3.0 million over the 2 year period. This
reduction in transfer is necessary to ensure the long term financial health of the Electric Utility,
which has seen rate increases in recent years due to increases in purchased power costs. While
a 4% rate increase in the Electric Fund was forecast in fiscal year 2012, no rate increase is
included in the fiscal year 2012 budget. With the reductions in the ROI transfer, and other
approved transfers into the Electric Fund, a rate increase was not recommended in fiscal year
2012, but is forecasted for fiscal year 2013.
The following are some significant increases in service levels in the fiscal year 2012 budget.
The approved Fire Department budget includes $1,853,555 for the addition of 18 positions for the
staffing of the new Fire Station #6. The project has been designed and construction is underway.
This is a significant increase in cost to get this new Fire Station operational.
Funds in the amount of $350,000 are included in the Public Works budget for thoroughfare street
overlay projects. It is important to be able to continue to put funds aside for street rehabilitation
projects.
Tax Rate
The fiscal year 2012 budget was prepared using the effective tax rate of 43.7995 cents per $100
assessed valuation. This is a net decrease of 0.9548 cents from the fiscal year 2011 tax rate of
44.7543 cents. The fiscal year 2012 approved tax rate reduces the Debt Service portion of the tax
rate by 1.8658, and increases the General Fund portion of the tax rate by 0.9110 cents. This
reallocation of the tax rate will help fund additional Fire Department resources.
Utility Rates
The fiscal year 2012 budget includes a 5 percent increase in the Wastewater Fund. This rate
increase is needed to meet the operating, non-operating, debt service and capital needs of the fund.
The fiscal year 2012 budget does not include a rate increase in the Electric Fund, Water Fund,
Sanitation Fund, or Drainage Utility Fund.
The fiscal year 2012 budget for capital improvements totals $37,349,793. The City anticipates
significant expenditures for infrastructure projects throughout the city. These projects include
rehabilitation of utilities, drainage ways, and streets. In November 2008, voters authorized

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances
Governmental Funds
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
34
Net change in fund balance - total governmental funds:(8,151,882)$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the government-wide
statement of activities the cost of those assets are allocated over their estimated
useful lives as depreciation expense. This is the amount of capital assets
recorded in the current period.11,501,926
The effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (e.g., sales, trade ins,
and contributions) is to increase/decrease net assets.
Capital contributions 2,871,186$
Asset retirements/disposals (4,597,340) (1,726,154)
Depreciation expense on capital assets is reported in the government-wide statement of
activities, but they do not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, depreciation
expense is not reported as expenditure in governmental funds.(12,082,133)
Some property tax, intergovernmental and ambulance revenues will not be collected for several
months after the the City's fiscal year end. These are not considered "available" revenues
in the governmental funds until received. (819,613)
The issuance of long-term debt (i.e., bonds, certificates of obligation) provides current
financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term
debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction,
however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance
costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas the amounts are
deferred and amoritized in the statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of these
differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items.
Bonds issued (13,205,000)$
Certificates of Obligation issued (15,000)
Bond principal retirement 10,170,000
Certificate of Obligation principal retirement 9,605,000 6,555,000
Bond premiums are recognized as an other financing source in the governmental funds, but are
considered deferred assets on the Statement of Net Assets. Premiums are amortized over the
life of the bonds. This is the amount by which bond premium issued, bond issuance costs
and bond refunding losses exceeded amortization.(546,386)
Payment of compensated absences is reported as an expenditure in the governmental funds when
actually paid. However, on the government-wide statement of changes in net assets,
compensated absences are expensed as they are accrued. Change in the compensated
absences liability.101,077
Long-term estimated liabilities are recognized as expenses in the Statement
of Activities as incurred, but are recognized when current financial
resources are used in the governmental funds.
Net pension obligation (1,230,113)$
Other post retirement benefits (973,113) (2,203,226)
Accrued interest expense on long-term debt is reported in the government-wide statement of
activities, but does not require the use of current financial resources; therefore, accrued interest
expense is not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. Change in accrued interest.3,142
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as
insurance, fleet maintenance, and equipment replacement to individual funds. The net revenue
of the internal service funds is reported with governmental activities net of the amount
allocated to business-type activities and depreciation expense.
Change in net assets 2,534,342$
Net amount allocated to business activities 1,279,613
Depreciation 1,768,035 5,581,990
Change in Net Assets of governmental activities:(1,786,259)$

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
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 accounting and reporting policies of the City relating to the funds included in the
accompanying basic financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (GAAP) applicable to state and local governments. Generally
accepted accounting principles for local governments include those principles prescribed by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants in the publication entitled State and Local Governments – Audit and Accounting
Guide and by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (when applicable). As allowed in
Section P80 of GASB’s Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting
Standards, the City has elected not to apply Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements
and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board Opinions, and Accounting Research Bulletins
of the Committee of Accounting Procedure issued after November 30, 1989. 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. The more significant accounting policies of the City are
described below.
The City’s basic financial statements include the accounts of all City operations. The criteria for
including organizations as component units within the City’s reporting entity, as set forth in
Section 2100 of GASB’s Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting
Standards, include whether:
the organization is legally separate (can sue and be sued in their own name)
the City holds the corporate powers of the organization
the City appoints a voting majority of the organization’s board
the City is able to impose its will on the organization
the organization has the potential to impose a financial benefit/burden on the City
there is a fiscal dependency by the organization on the City.
Based on the aforementioned criteria, the City has no component units.
B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (e.g., the statement of net assets and the statement
of activities) report information on all of the activities of the City. For the most part, the effect of
interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which
normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from
business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses for a given
function or segment is 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
40
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
City of College Station, Texas
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment.
Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as
general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as
separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to when
revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial
statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of
the measurement focus applied.
The government-wide financial statements and fund financial statements for proprietary funds
are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of
accounting. The economic resources measurement focus means all assets and liabilities
(whether current or noncurrent) are included on the statement of net assets and the operating
statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets.
Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred,
regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in
the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon
as all eligibility requirements have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual
basis of accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and
available. “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined and
“available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to
pay liabilities of the current period. The City considers revenues to be available if they are
collected within 30 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures are generally
recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service
expenditures, as well as expenditures related to vacation, claims, and judgments, are recorded
only when payment is due.
Property taxes, other local taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period
are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and, therefore, have been recognized as
revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable
and available only when the City receives cash.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another
fund. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or
contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General
operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid
through other funds are paid from the General Fund.
The Debt Service Fund accounts for the financial resources that are restricted, committed,
or assigned to expenditure for the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt paid
41
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
City of College Station, Texas
primarily from taxes levied by the City. Financial resources that are being accumulated for
principal and interest in future years are also reported in the Debt Service Fund.
The Street Projects Fund accounts for the costs of new street construction, street
improvements, and traffic signalization made with funds provided primarily 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 Wastewater Fund accounts for the activities necessary to provide sewer collection and
treatment services to the residents of the City. These activities include administrative
services, wastewater system operations and maintenance, new construction, financing and
related debt service. Billing and collection services are accounted for as an internal service
fund.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds account for activities related to the operation and maintenance of
the City's radio and telephone systems; administration of health insurance provided to City
employees; the City's risk management activities, including general liability, unemployment,
and workers' compensation claims and associated administrative expenses on a cost
reimbursement basis; utility billing and collection activities related to the City's electric,
water, and wastewater utilities and residential and commercial garbage collection; activities
related to the management of the City's vehicles and heavy equipment, including
preventative maintenance and vehicle repair; and activities related to the purchase and
replacement of vehicles and large motorized equipment, telephone and radio systems, and
technological infrastructure equipment not budgeted in other funds.
In general, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this rule are payments-in-lieu of taxes, indirect costs and
franchise fees, and other charges between the City's Electric, Water, and Wastewater Funds
because elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues
reported in the Statement of Activities.
Amounts reported as program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given
function or segment and (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items
not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with
the fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's
42
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
City of College Station, Texas
enterprise funds are charges for customer services including electric, water, wastewater, and
sanitation fees; while internal service funds revenues are for equipment purchase amounts and
risk management charges. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds
include the cost of services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All
revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and
expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to
use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are short term highly liquid investments that are (a) readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and (b) so near their maturity that they present
insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Therefore, for
purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents (including restricted
assets) include demand accounts, investment pools, money market mutual funds, certificates of
deposit, and agency securities notes with original maturities of three months or less when
purchased.
All cash, except for petty cash accounts, is deposited with the City's depository bank in interest
bearing accounts or is invested.
The City uses a pooling method to account for cash and cash equivalents. Equity in cash and
cash equivalents and interest income from the cash pool is allocated to the participating funds
on a monthly basis. The amount of the allocation is determined by calculating a ratio of each
fund's equity in the pool to the total pool.
Investments
Investments are made in accordance with the City's Investment Policy which was adopted by
the City Council in October 2010 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011. 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, public funds
investment pools, and money market mutual funds. This policy states that the City’s Executive
Director of Business Services 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 with a
maturity of more 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
43
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
City of College Station, Texas
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 versus payment and held in the City's name in a safekeeping account at
The Bank of New York.
Investments of all funds may consist of Agency securities, money market mutual funds,
certificates of deposit and investments in 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. In 2011, the City adopted GASB
No. 59, Financial Instruments Omnibus. See note IV-A regarding 2a7-like 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.
Inventories, Assets Held for Resale and Prepaid Costs
Inventories are accounted for using the consumption method and are valued at year-end based
on cost, with cost determined using an average cost method.
Assets held for resale include redevelopment properties, properties purchased and constructed
with the express intent of resale. These assets are reported at cost in the governmental funds.
Cemetery plots are another example of assets held for resale in the governmental funds. City
ordinance stipulates the percentage of the cemetery plot sales to be allocated to the operational
fund. These assets held for resale in the non-major governmental Community Development
and Cemetery funds are reported as inventory in the financial statements and accounted for
using the purchases method.
Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond September 30, 2011,
are recorded as prepaid costs with a reserve for prepaid items recognized in the governmental
44
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
City of College Station, Texas
funds in the fund level financial statements to indicate that a portion of fund balance is not
available for other subsequent expenditures.
Interfund Transactions and Receivables/Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding
at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current
portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of
interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from
other funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and
business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal
balances."
Transactions between Funds
The City allocates an indirect cost percentage of administrative services paid through the
General Fund along with other indirect costs deemed necessary for the operation of the
proprietary funds, internal service funds and the other governmental funds.
Restricted Assets
In the Enterprise Funds, proceeds of utility revenue bonds and certificates of obligation, as well
as resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance
sheet because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. In addition, customer utility
deposits are classified as restricted assets because the deposit remains the property of the
customer and is not available for operations. In the General Fund, restricted assets are
comprised of Municipal Court cash bonds.
Investment in Joint Venture
The Proprietary Funds' investment in joint venture is recorded using the equity method of
accounting. Required disclosures concerning the joint venture are presented in Note V-C.
Capital Assets
Capital assets include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) and are reported in the applicable governmental or
business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets
are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an
estimated useful life in excess of three years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or
estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at
estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
Assets owned by the electric utility are capitalized in accordance with Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) guidelines. Furthermore, assets owned by either the Water or
Wastewater utilities are capitalized in accordance with the National Association of Regulatory
Utility Commissioners (NARUC) guidelines. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that
do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the asset's useful life are not
capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 71, interest is not
capitalized during construction of capital assets of business-type activities because interest is
recovered currently in the City's established rate structure.
45
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
City of College Station, Texas
Depreciation of all assets is recorded and calculated using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:
Electric System 1-50 Years
Water System 2-50 Years
Wastewater System 2-50 Years
Infrastructure 10-50 Years
Buildings and Building Improvements 5-50 Years
Land Improvements 10-45 Years
Machinery and Equipment 5-20 Years
Motor Vehicles 3-12 Years
Furniture, Fixtures and Office Equipment 5-20 Years
Compensated Absences
Employees are credited with vacation at rates of 10 to 20 days per year, depending upon length
of service. Carryover of unused vacation time from one year to the next is allowed for a
maximum of two years. Upon termination, the respective employees are paid for any accrued
vacation not taken (up to the two year maximum). Accumulated vacation is accrued when
earned in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. No liability has been
recorded in the governmental fund financial statements.
Employees are credited with sick leave at the rate of one day per month. There is no maximum
to the number of sick days that each employee can accumulate. Because the City does not
pay employees for unused accumulated sick leave, no related liability has been recorded in the
financial statements.
Changes in compensated absences for the year ending September 30, 2011 were as follows:
Beginning
Balance Earned Paid
Ending
Balance
Amount Due
Within One
Year
Governmental Activities 2,548,467$ 28,653$ (124,377)$ 2,452,743$ 171,692$
Business Type Activities 526,095 51,385 (16,323) 561,157 28,058
Total Comp. Absences 3,074,562$ 80,038$ (140,700)$ 3,013,900$ 199,750$
Internal service funds predominantly serve the governmental funds. All internal service funds,
except for the utility customer service fund, are included as part of the above totals for
governmental activities. At year end $53,764 of internal service funds’ accrued vacation was
included in governmental activities, and $54,408 of accrued vacation for the utility customer
service fund was included in business type activities. For the governmental activities, accrued
vacation is generally liquidated by the general fund.
Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements for the
proprietary fund types, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities
in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund statement
of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and
amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported
net of the applicable bond premium or discount and deferred amounts on refunding. Bond
issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related
debt.
46
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
City of College Station, Texas
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt
issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are
reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other
financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds
received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance classifications that
comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds
can be spent. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the City adopted the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASBS) number 54, “Fund Balance Reporting and
Governmental Fund Type Definitions.” GASBS 54 provides for and the City uses the following
classifications:
Nonspendable Fund Balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in
spendable form. The “not in spendable form” criterion includes items that are not expected to
be converted to cash, for example, inventories and prepaid amounts. It also includes the long-
term amount of loans receivable as well as property acquired for resale.
Restricted Fund Balance is reported when constraints placed on the use of resources are either
(a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed Fund Balance includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes
pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest level of decision-
making authority, the City Council. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other
purpose unless the government removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type
of action (for example, resolution or ordinance) it employed to previously commit these
amounts.
Assigned Fund Balance includes amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be
used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the
governing body itself or a body (a budget or finance committee, for example) or official to which
the governing body has delegated the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific
purposes. Assignments may not result in a deficit in Unassigned Fund Balance.
Unassigned Fund Balance is the residual classification for the General Fund. This classification
represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has not been
restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the General Fund. In other
governmental funds, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceeded the amounts
restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative
unassigned fund balance.
When fund balances are available for use and the usage requirements met, the City reduces
the committed amounts first, followed by the assigned amounts and then the unassigned
amount lastly. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the
City's policy to use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are
needed.

City of College Station, Texas
E. Budgetary Control
The City follows these procedures in establishing budgetary data:
1. Prior to September 1, City Manager submits to City Council a proposed operating budget
for the fiscal year beginning the following October 1. The operating budget includes
proposed expenditures and the means for financing them.
2. All budget requests are compiled by the Office of Budget and Strategic Planning and then
presented with comparative and supporting data to the Mayor and City Council for review.
3. Public hearings are properly advertised and conducted at City Hall for taxpayer comments.
4. Prior to September 27, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.
5. The City Council must approve all transfers of budgeted amounts between departments
within any fund and any revision that alters the total expenditures of any fund. An amount
is also budgeted each year for contingencies which may arise. The Council has authorized
the City Manager to make budget transfers for contingencies if the amount does not exceed
$15,000. All other transfers must be approved by City Council. City Council may transfer
amounts among individual budget line items within major expenditure categories during the
year, but no such transfer may increase the overall total budget. Budgeted amounts as
originally adopted were not significantly changed by such transfers during the year.
6. In accordance with the City Charter, the budget may be amended after the following
conditions are met: (a) The City Manager certifies that there are available revenues in
excess of those estimated in the budget. (b) The City Council holds a public hearing on
the supplemental appropriation. (c) The City Council approves the supplemental
appropriation. Management may not amend the budget without seeking the approval of the
City Council.
F. Budget Basis of Accounting
The City prepares its annual budget on a basis (budget basis) which differs from a GAAP basis.
The budget and all transactions are presented in accordance with the City’s method (budget
basis) in the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance – Budget
and Actual - General Fund to provide a meaningful comparison of actual results with the
budget. The differences between budget and GAAP basis in the General Fund are that
reimbursements and transfers of indirect costs are shown as Reimbursed Administration and
interfund loan transactions are treated as transfers for budget basis. Consistent with the
purchases method, assets held for resale are treated as expenditures for budget purposes.
II. Minimum Fund Balance/Operating Reserve Policies
The unobligated (unassigned) fund balance in the General Fund should be at least 15% of the
annual budgeted General Fund expenditures. This percentage is the equivalent of 55 days
expenditure. An additional amount of 3.0% should be maintained for extraordinary items or
contingencies. Cash and investments alone should be equivalent to 30 days operating
expenditure.
The working capital (current assets less current liabilities) in the enterprise funds should be
maintained at 15% of total operating expenses or the equivalent of 55 days. Cash and
Investments alone should be equivalent to 30 days of operations.

at the end of the budget year if they have not been expended or lawfully encumbered.
2. Formal budgetary integration is legally enacted and employed as a management control device
during the year for all funds.
3. Encumbrance accounting is employed in governmental funds. Encumbrances (e.g., purchase

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.

Portfolio Weighted Average Maturity 22
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:
1. Direct obligations of the United States government: U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. Treasury
Notes, and U.S. Treasury Bonds as well as Bonds or other interest bearing obligations
for which the principal and interest are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the

callables and debentures of the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), the
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), the Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB), and the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC).
3. Time Certificates of Deposit, insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) or its successor, in state or national banks. Any deposits exceeding FDIC
insurance limits shall be collateralized at 102% of the face amount of the Certificate of
Deposit by securities listed in 1 - 2 above and held by the City's custodial bank or the
custodial bank of the institution the CD’s are held. Bids for Certificates of Deposit may
be solicited orally, in writing, electronically or using any combination of these methods.
4. Repurchase Agreements with a defined termination date of 90 days or less
collateralized by a combination of cash and securities listed in 1 - 2 above. Collateral
must have a minimum market value of 102% of the repurchase agreement, and must
be held by the custodian bank or other independent third-party custodian contracted by
the City. Bond proceeds may be invested in flexible repurchase agreements with
maturity dates not exceeding the expected final project expenditure if a formal bidding
process is followed and properly documented for IRS purposes.

6. AAA rated Money Market Mutual Funds registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission that invest exclusively in investments described in this section.
7. AAA-rated Investment Pools organized under the Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act that
follow the requirements in the Public Funds Investment Act and which have been
specifically approved by the City.
The City is a voluntary participant in two external investment pools, Texpool and TexSTAR.
The pools are 2a7-like pools, which are not registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) as an investment company, but have a policy that it will, and does, operate
in a manner consistent with the SEC’s Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. This
type of pool uses amortized investment costs rather than market values to compute participant
share values. Furthermore, the pools in which the City participates seek to maintain a stable $1
net asset value per share of unit. Accordingly, the fair value of the City’s position in these pools
is substantially the same as the market value of the shares in each of the pools.
As of September 30, 2011, the City’s investments in Texpool and TexSTAR were rated by
Standard & Poor's as AAAm.
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% and
Certificates of Deposit to 30%. As of September 30, 2011, the issuers whose securities
represented more than 5% of the City's investment portfolio were as follows: American
Momentum Bank (21 %) and Citibank (29 %).

For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
City of College Station, Texas
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.

Governmental Activities
Business-Type Activities
The City intends to retire all of its general long-term liabilities, plus interest, from ad valorem
taxes with the exception of bonds issued in 2009 to purchase land for a convention center site.
Repayment of this debt will be paid for by Hotel Occupancy Tax collected. Proprietary fund type
long-term debt used for Electric, Water and Wastewater projects will be repaid, plus interest,
from the operating revenues of the Electric, Water, and Wastewater funds.
General Obligation Bonds and Certificates
The City issues General Obligation Bonds and Certificates of Obligation to provide funds for the
acquisition and construction of major capital facilities. These types of bonds have been issued
by the City for both governmental activities as well as business-type activities. These bonds
are reported in the proprietary funds if they are expected to be repaid from proprietary fund
revenue.
General Obligation Bonds are direct obligations, for which the City has pledged the full faith and
credit of the City. These bonds generally are issued as 20-year serial bonds with varying
amounts of principal maturing each year.
The City is required by bond covenants to create from ad valorem tax revenues a sinking fund
sufficient to pay the current interest and principal installments as they become due. In addition
to the sinking fund, there are a number of limitations and restrictions contained in the various
general obligation bonds and certificate indentures. The City is in compliance with the
significant limitations and restrictions at September 30, 2011.
On November 15, 2010 the City issued $37,150,000 General Obligation Refunding Bonds,
Series 2010. The advanced refunding of General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2001
and 2002; Certificates of Obligation 2001 and 2002; and Utility Revenue Bonds Series 2000,

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
City of College Station, Texas
2001 and 2002 was undertaken to reduce total general obligation and utility revenue debt
service payments over the next 12 years by $4,547,573 resulting in net present value savings
of $3,911,310.
The City issued $1,960,000 in General Obligation Bonds, dated September 15, 2011, with a
true interest cost of 1.185792%. The proceeds from the sale of the bonds will be used to pay
for (1) costs of construction, acquisition of and improvements to City streets; (2) parks and
parks facilities improvements, (3) pay the costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the
Bonds.
The City issued $7,935,000 in Certificates of Obligation, dated September 15, 2011, with a true
interest cost of 2.978799%. The proceeds from the sale of the Certificates will be used to pay
for (1) construction of improvements to the City’s combined electric, waterworks and
wastewater systems and (2) to pay costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the
Certificates.
In 2009, the City issued $5,145,000 in Certificates of Obligation to pay for a portion of the
construction of a new municipal landfill. The City of College Station jointly owns Brazos Valley
Solid Waste Management Agency Inc. (BVSWMA) with the City of Bryan. BVSWMA Inc. has
pledged to repay the $5,145,000 plus interest to the City of College Station. As of September
30, 2011 BVSWMA Inc. owed the City $4,765,000.
Revenue Bonds
Utility system revenue bonds are secured by the net revenues of the Electric, Water, and
Wastewater Funds as defined in the respective bond indentures. The City pledges income
derived from the acquired or constructed assets to pay the debt service. In addition, the City is
required to maintain debt service funds and bond reserve funds for all outstanding revenue
bonds. Amounts in the reserve fund are to be used to pay principal and interest on outstanding
bonds at any time sufficient funds are not available in the bond interest and redemption fund.
The bond indentures require that the City accumulate reserves of an amount equal to the
average annual principal and interest requirements of all outstanding bonds secured by the net
revenues of the system.
Arbitrage Compliance
Arbitrage provisions of the Internal Revenue Tax Act of 1986 require the City to rebate to the
federal government excess arbitrage earnings from bond proceeds. As of September 30, 2011,
the City did not have an arbitrage rebate liability.
Defeasance
In prior years, the City issued refunding bonds to defease certain outstanding bonds for the
purpose of consolidation and to achieve debt service savings. The City has placed the
proceeds from the refunding issues in irrevocable escrow accounts with a trust agent to ensure
payment of debt service on the refunded bonds.
Accordingly, the trust account assets and liabilities for the defeased bonds are not included in
the City’s financial statements. Although defeased, the refunded debt from these earlier issues
will not be actually retired until the call dates have come due or until maturity if they are not
callable issues. On September 30, 2011, the City’s escrow balance for bonds defeased on
November 15, 2010 was $21,120,000. The defeased bonds are not callable until February 1,
2012 and February 15, 2012.

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 44.75 cents per $100 of assessed valuation
for the year ended September 30, 2011. 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
generally can be subdivided into four loss categories: 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
employee contributions and from City operating funds. 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’s stop loss insurance policy limits its liability to
$125,000 per individual per year with an aggregate attachment point for the last 12 months of
$8,793,530. The liability for outstanding losses includes $821,596 for claims incurred but not
reported as of September 30, 2011.
In fiscal year 2011, City real and personal property and mobile equipment was insured by
Affiliated FM, A.M. Best rated A+, financial category XV. Affiliated FM premiums were funded
by calculated contributions from the City's operating funds. Affiliated FM provided claims
handling for these coverage lines. The City carried a property insurance policy deductible
between $100,000 and $250,000 per occurrence, depending on type of loss. Property
insurance covered all direct losses and some indirect losses.
62
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
City of College Station, Texas
The City is self-insured on all liability coverage lines. The City carried excess liability coverage
through Star National Insurance Company; A.M. Best rated A-, financial category IX. The self-
insured retention ("SIR") is $250,000 per claim. Licensed adjusters in the City’s Risk
Management office handle liability claims.
The City also is self-insured for workers' compensation coverage. The City carried excess
workers' compensation coverage through Star National Insurance Company with a $250,000
per claim SIR. Abercrombie, Simmons & Gillette, (AS&G), a Third Party Administrator (TPA)
handles 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 a loss has occurred and the loss amount can be reasonably estimated.
Liabilities include an amount for claims incurred but not reported. Based on the most recent
actuarial study, the City has recorded a potential liability of $611,625 in the property and
casualty fund and a potential liability of $311,235 in the workers’ compensation fund. The
results of the process to estimate the claims liability is not exact, as it depends on many
complex factors, such as inflation, changes in legal doctrines, and damage awards.
Accordingly, claims are reevaluated periodically to accommodate the effects of inflation, recent
claim settlement trends (including frequency and amount of pay-outs), and other economic and
social factors.
The City uses its Unemployment Fund to pay for self-insurance activity involving claims filed
under the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act. Monthly contributions to fund this activity
are based on a percentage of payrolls determined annually during the budget process.
Settlements have not exceeded self-insured retention in each of the past three fiscal years.
The liabilities for insurance claims reported in each of the funds are based on Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 10, which requires a liability for claims to be
reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is
probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and if the
amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These liabilities include an estimate for
incurred but not reported claims. Changes in the balances of claims liabilities for the self-
insurance funds that are accounted for as Internal Service Funds for fiscal years 2011 and
2010 are as follows:
2011 2010
Unpaid Claims, October 1 1,630,623$ 1,549,912$
Incurred Claims (including IBNR's) 6,664,986 7,139,389
Claims Paid (6,551,153) (7,058,678)
Unpaid Claims, September 30 1,744,456$ 1,630,623$
C. Joint Venture
In 1990 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 reported 50%
ownership in BVSWMA. The City of College Station served as landfill operator. This basic
structure is how BVSWMA operated until 2010.
In February 2010 the City Councils for the City of Bryan and the City of College Station
approved Articles of Incorporation for BVSWMA, Inc. a Local Government Corporation under
63
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
City of College Station, Texas
the provisions of Subchapter D of Chapter 431, Texas Transportation Code; and Chapter
394, Texas Local Government Code. In March 2010, the City Councils of Bryan and College
Station approved Bylaws for BVSWMA, Inc., which establishes the power to issue debt and
to acquire land.
The powers of BVSWMA, Inc. are vested in a 7 member Board of Directors, with each city
Council appointing 3 members and the 7th member to be selected by an approval process set
forth in the Articles of Incorporation and deemed to have been appointed by the Cities.
On September 13, 2010, Bryan City Council, College Station City Council and the BVSWMA,
Inc. Board of Directors formalized the creation of BVSWMA, Inc. and the dissolution of
BVSWMA, effective October 1, 2010, with the approval and execution of a (n):
Borrowed Employee Agreement between the City of College Station and the Brazos Valley
Solid Waste Management Agency Inc.;
Asset Transfer and Debt Reimbursement Agreement between BVSWMA Inc., the City of
College Station and the City of Bryan;

Final Settlement Agreement and Release related to the final settlement and dismissal of
the certain lawsuit referred to as City of Bryan, Texas v. City of College Station, Texas,

Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, BVSWMA transferred
all of its assets to BVSWMA, Inc. College Station reports BVSWMA, Inc. as a joint venture
with the City of Bryan and recognizes 50% ownership in BVSWMA, Inc. in the City’s financial
statements.
Per GASB 14, a Joint Venture (JV) is a legal entity or other organization that results from a
contractual arrangement and that is owned, operated, or governed by two or more participants
as a separate and specific activity subject to joint control, in which the participants retain (a) an
ongoing financial interest OR (b) and ongoing financial responsibility. Joint control means that
no single participant has the ability to unilaterally control the financial or operating policies of the
Joint Venture.
An ongoing financial interest includes an equity interest, as defined in paragraph 72, and any
other arrangement that causes a participating government to have access to the Joint Venture’s
resources. An equity interest in a Joint Venture is manifest in the ownership of shares of Joint
Venture stock or by otherwise having an explicit, measurable right to the net resources of a
Joint Venture that is usually based on an investment of financial or capital resources by a
participating government. An equity interest is explicit and measurable if the Joint Venture
agreement stipulates that the participants have a present or future claim to the net resources of
the Joint Venture and sets forth the method to determine the participants’ shares of the Joint
Venture’s net resources. Per the BVSWMA, Inc. By-laws, paragraph 8.05, Section 431.107 of
the Texas Transportation Corporation Act entitles the Cities, at all times, to have the right to
equally receive the income earned by the corporation. Also, per BVSWMA, Inc.’s By-laws,
paragraph 4.03a, the corporation, with the approval of the Cities, is authorized to issue short-

term debt, however, the Cities shall be given the first opportunity to provide these funds before
the Board incurs debt. This would result in the City of College Station providing an investment
of financial resources to BVSWMA, Inc.
An ongoing financial responsibility for a Joint Venture occurs if a participating government is
obligated in some manner for the debts (see paragraph 33 of GASB 14) of the Joint Venture, or
if the Joint Ventures continued existence depends on the continued funding by the government.
Per paragraph 33 of GASB 14 – A primary government is obligated in some manner for the
debt of an organization if it is legally obligated to assume all or part of the debt in the event of
default.
Per Article XIV, paragraph 14.03, of the Articles of Incorporation of BVSWMA, Inc., upon
dissolution of the corporation:
A. the assets of the Corporation shall be distributed equally between the Cities; and
B. any remaining liabilities of the corporation shall be shared equally between the Cities.
State and federal laws and regulations require BVSWMA, Inc. 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. The Rock Prairie Road landfill
stopped accepting waste in July 2011, and the Twin Oaks Landfill in Grimes County began
accepting waste. Although closure and post closure care costs will be paid only near or after
the date that the landfill stopped accepting waste, BVSWMA, Inc. reports a portion of these
closure and post closure care costs as an operating expense in each period based on landfill
capacity used as of each balance sheet date. Actual cost may be higher due to inflation,
changes in technology, or changes in regulations.

D. Pension Plan
Plan Description
The City provides pension benefits for all of its full-time employees through a nontraditional,
joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit plan in the state-wide Texas Municipal Retirement
System ("TMRS"), an agent multiple-employer public employee retirement system. The plan
provisions that have been adopted by the City are within the options available in the governing
state statutes of TMRS.
TMRS issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report that includes financial
statements and required supplementary information (RSI) for TMRS; the report also provides
detailed explanations of the contributions, benefits and actuarial methods and assumptions
used by the System. The report may be obtained by writing to TMRS, Post Office Box 149153,
Austin, Texas 78714-9153 or by calling 800-924-8677; in addition, the report is available on
TMRS’ website at http://www.tmrs.org/
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:

Contributions
Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each city is determined annually
by the actuary, using the Projected Unit Credit actuarial cost method. This rate consists of the
normal cost contribution rate and the prior service cost contribution rate, which is calculated to
be a level percent of payroll from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the
portion of an active member’s projected benefit allocated annually; the prior service contribution
rate amortizes the unfunded actuarial liability over the applicable period for that City. Both the
66

City of College Station, Texas
normal cost and the prior service contribution rates include recognition of the projected impact
of annually repeated benefits, such as Updated Service Credits and Annuity Increases.
The City contributed to the TMRS Plan at an actuarially determined rate. Both the employees
and the City made contributions monthly. Since the City needs to know its contribution rate in
advance for budgetary purposes, there is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that
serves as the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect. The
annual pension cost and net pension obligation are as follows:

Funded Status and Funding Progress – In June 2011, SB 350 was enacted by the Texas
Legislature resulting in a restructure of the TMRS funds. This legislation provided for the
actuarial valuation to be completed, as if restructuring had occurred on December 31, 2010. In
addition, the actuarial assumptions were updated for the new fund structure, based on an
actuarial experience study that was adopted by the TMRS Board at their May 2011 meeting
(the review compared actual to expected experience for the four-year period of January 1, 2006
through December 31, 2009). For a complete description of the combined impact of the
legislation and new actuarial assumptions, including the effects on TMRS city rates and funding
ratios, please see the December 31, 2010 TMRS Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR).
The funded status as of December 31, 2010, the most recent actuarial valuation date, is as

the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend information about whether the

accrued liability of benefits.
E. Other Post Employment Benefits
Program description:
In addition to the pension benefits described in Note V.D., as required by state laws and defined
by City policy, the City makes available postretirement medical, dental, vision, drug and life
insurance benefits to all employees who meet TMRS retirement qualifications, retire from the
City and who enroll themselves and their eligible dependent(s) on or before the effective date of
their retirement through the City’s single-employer defined benefit other post-employment
benefit (OPEB) plan. The life insurance plan provides a $10,000 fully insured death benefit
coverage upon retirement which ceases upon attainment of age 65 for retirees. So long as
monthly premium payments are made, the healthcare plan provides lifetime insurance to
eligible retirees, their spouses and dependents through the City’s group health insurance plan,
which covers both active and retired members. Benefit provisions as well as retiree premium
contributions are established by management.
The City determines the employer and participant contribution rates annually based on
recommendations of City staff and the City’s consultant. During the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2009, the City subsidized the retiree medical, dental, vision and drug premium
so that the retiree premium is less than the full amount of premium for a full time employee. On
September 30, 2009, the monthly retiree premium payment became the actual non-blended
retiree rate, effective as of January 1, 2010 for new retirees and effective January 1, 2011 for
existing retirees. The change in the monthly premium closed the plan and eliminated the OPEB
liability for postretirement medical, dental, vision and drug insurance benefits.
On or around September 30, 2010, OPEB was reinstated when policy changed to charge
retirees the employee (subsidized) rate for medical, dental, vision and drug coverage.
Given that the change made on September 30, 2009 eliminating postretirement medical, dental,
vision and drug liability to the City was reversed on September 30, 2010, the City treats its
OPEB obligation as if the changes never happened and the City’s OPEB obligation carried
forward from October 1, 2008 without changes.
All medical, dental, vision and drug care benefits are provided through the City’s self-insured
health plan. The benefit levels are the same as those afforded to active employees. Life
insurance for eligible retirees is paid entirely by the City.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
City of College Station, Texas
During fiscal year 2011, thirty-one former employees were covered under this arrangement,
with claims totaling $513,998. 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.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The City’s annual OPEB cost is based on the annual required contribution (ARC) of the City, an
amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45.
Despite the apparent implications of the term ARC, the City is not required to contribute the
ARC to the plan each year, Instead, the ARC provides a basis for evaluating whether the City’s
contributions for OPEB are adequate to fund the benefits during the working lifetime of current
employees (i.e., the normal cost) and to amortize existing unfunded obligations (i.e., the
obligations for current retirees plus that portion of the current employees’ obligations that are
attributed to past service) in a systematic manner over the amortization period prescribed by
GASB.
The annual OPEB cost is the annual accounting expense recorded on the City’s Statement of
Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets and on the City’s Statement of Activities. The
annual OPEB cost is equal to (1) the ARC for the current fiscal year, plus (2) interest on the Net
OPEB Obligation at the beginning of the year, reduced by (3) an adjustment to the ARC which
is equal to an amortization of the beginning of the year Net OPEB Obligation.
Generally, the Net OPEB Obligation is the cumulative difference since the effective date of
GASB 45 between the annual OPEB cost and the employer’s contributions to the plan including

Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $ 2,241,140 $ 2,438,554 $ 1,850,510

City of College Station, Texas
the OPEB liability/(asset) at transition, if any. Because the City did not have an OPEB liability/
(asset) at transition, the Net OPEB Obligation as of October 1, 2008 is zero. Whenever the City
contributes an amount less than the annual OPEB cost, this shortfall will increase the City’s Net
OPEB Obligation.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about
the probability of events far into the future. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to
continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are
made about the future.
The required schedule of funding progress immediately following the notes to the financial
statements presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan
assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits.
GASB No. 45 calculations are based on the types of benefits provided under the terms of the
substantive plan at the time of each valuation and on the pattern of sharing of costs between
the employer and plan participants to that point. In addition, the projection of benefits for
financial reporting purposes does not explicitly incorporate the potential effects of legal or
contractual funding limitations on the pattern of cost sharing between the employer and plan
participants in the future.
Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective. In addition, consistent with that
perspective, actuarial methods and assumptions used in developing the amounts in this report
include techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued
liabilities.
The required contribution rates were determined as part of the October 1, 2010 actuarial
valuation. Significant methods and assumptions follow:
Funding Status and Funding Progress
The Schedule of Funding Progress presents information as of the current valuation date and
the two preceding valuation dates. As of the date of this financial statement, the City has had

There are factors that affect the ability to compare amounts reported from one actuarial
valuation date to the next. The assumptions that have been changed since the previous
valuation are:
- the Discount Rate has been updated to reflect changes in the allocation of assets of the
employer and the expected return on such assets;
- the Assumed Per Capita Health Benefit Costs and Assumed Expenses for retirees and
dependents have been updated to reflect changes in claims and expense expectations;
and
- the Health Benefit Cost Trend and Expense Trend have been updated to reflect changes in
short-term expectations of the annual rate of increase of the Assumed Per Capita Health
Benefit Costs.
F. 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.
The City is not the 457 Plan Administrator or trustee and the assets of the plan are not
reportable in the City's basic financial statements.
G. Commitments and Contingencies
Construction Commitments
The City has contractual commitments of $10,623,878 in the Capital Projects Funds,
$1,791,102 in the Water Fund, $2,756,474 in the Wastewater Fund and $381,800 in the Electric
Fund. These commitments are for construction of various projects and will be funded primarily
from long term debt.
Contingencies
The City participates in a number of federal and state assisted grant programs. These
programs are subject to program compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives.
Any liability for reimbursement which may arise as the result of these audits is not believed to
be material.

I. Revenue Bond Coverage
All the net revenues of the Electric, Water, and Wastewater Funds are pledged for the payment
of debt service of the revenue bonds and other indebtedness payable from those revenues.
Net revenues, as defined by the revenue bond resolutions, include substantially all of the
revenues and expenses of the above named funds other than certain interest income and
expense, and depreciation and amortization. These bond resolutions further require that the
net revenues, as defined, equal at least 1.40 times the average annual debt service on all
revenue bonds and other indebtedness payable from those revenues and 1.25 times the
maximum annual debt service on all revenue bonds and other indebtedness payable from
those revenues. The maximum annual debt service is defined as the maximum principal and
interest payments to be paid in any one year remaining in the life of the bonds, and the average
annual debt service is defined as the sum of all principal and interest payments due over the
remaining life of the bonds divided by the remaining life of the bonds. The City is in compliance
with these requirements.
J. Subsequent Events
Defeasance
In 2009 the City issued $31.315 million in Certificates of Obligation. $2.6 million of the proceeds
was used to purchase land for a convention center site. Council no longer intends to build a
convention center, therefore, causing a change in use to the property. In order to maintain the
tax exempt status of the 2009 Certificates of Obligation, Council approved to defease the
convention center bonds on November 21, 2011. On December 1, 2011 the bonds were
defeased. $2.728 million was placed in an escrow account with Bank of New York to cover the
principal and interest amount of the bonds until their call date of February 15, 2019.

*Assets are stated as of December 31 of the preceding year, the date of the actuarial valuation.
** Information is from appropriate year supplements to TMRS annual reports.
In June 2011, SB 350 was enacted by the Texas Legislature resulting in a restructure of the TMRS funds.
This legislation provided for the actuarial valuation to be completed as if restructuring had occurred on
December 31, 2010, In addition, the actuarial assumptions were updated for the new fund structure, based
on an actuarial experience study that was adopted by the TMRS Board at their May 2011 meeting (the
review compared actual to expected experience for the four year period of January 1, 2006 through
December 31, 2009). For a complete description of the combined impact of the legislation and new
actuarial assumptions, including the effects on TMRS city rates and funding ratios, please see the
December 31, 2010 TMRS Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
The Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL), the Unfunded AAL (UAAL) and the covered calendar year payroll
figures reported above represent the entire City of College Station workforce.

General Fund(s)
The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except
those required to be accounted for in another fund. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or
contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures, fixed charges and
capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund.
The General Fund Type has historically incorporated several funds, which have been reported collectively as the General Fund in
the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, the General Fund includes:
General Fund
Economic Development Fund – accounts for funds used for business attraction and retention. Monies for this purpose are

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

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