Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and
Citizens of the City of College Station
College Station, Texas
The Interim City Manager and the Fiscal Services Department are pleased to submit the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the City of College Station, Texas (the "City") for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 .
This report is published to provide to the City Council, City staff, our citizens, our bondholders and
other interested parties detailed information concerning the financial condition and activities of the
City government. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the data is accurate in all material aspects , and is
organized in a manner designed to fairly present the financial position and results of operations of
the City as measured by the financial activity of its various funds . We also believe that all
disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the City's
financial affairs have been included .
Ingram, Wallis & Company, P .C ., Certified Public Accountants, has issued an unqualified
("clean") opinion on the city's financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2012. The
independent auditors' report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors'
report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial
statements. The MD&A complements this letter of transmittal.
CITY PROFILE

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
Economic conditions have been a bit more positive than they have been in several years. Sales
tax revenues have seen stronger growth in the past year, and property values have increased as
well. Growth has been seen in the northern part of the City with all of the activity planned in the
University Drive/Northgate area, as well as the anticipated activity in the bio-corridor area. Growth
also continues in the southern part of the City with the progress of new and expanded medical
facilities, and continued retail development in the Tower Point area. However, there is still a great
deal of uncertainty in the economy. Decisions on important issues such as the future renovation
or replacement of Kyle Field at Texas A&M University could have significant impacts on the local
economy depending on the decisions that are made.
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. However, in 2011 and 2012 sales tax
revenues increased by 5.1% and 5.9% respectively. Sales tax revenues are anticipated to grow
modestly in the near future.
College Station continues to see development. Overall, total new building permits increased 30%
when compared to last year for the same time period, with new single-family homes permits
increasing 34% and new commercial permits decreasing 37%. Total ad valorem assessed
valuation increased by approximately $206 million or approximately 3.6 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 $700 million worth of
research and development. Student enrollment at TAMU was 50,227 as of September 2012.
TAMU employs more than 20,000 full-time and part-time staff. The impact of budget reductions
from the State of Texas continues to be monitored to determine how they may impact the local
economy, and the City of College Station.
2012 Major Accomplishments
Below are highlight accomplishments for 2012.
• Maintained 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.
Continued to Provide Competitive Compensation and Benefits: As stated above the
economic conditions are improving for the City, which allowed for pay increases to
employees in 2012. Maintaining a competitive pay and benefit structure allows the City
to attract and retain well qualified employees who are on the front lines of providing
services to the citizens and visitors of College Station. The City continues to implement a
step plan for the Police Department, with the second phase of the plan put in place during
2012. Continuing the implementation of the step pay plan will allow the Police
Department to be more competitive in recruiting and retaining officers. The City
continues to provide generous benefits, such as 3 options for Medical, Dental &
Prescription insurance, life insurance, defined benefit pension plan, post-employment
medical insurance, etc,. – all at a competitive cost to the employee. However, plans are
being made for minor reductions in retirement benefits beginning in 2013.
3
Continued Utility Transfer Policy Changes: Last year the City began a multi-year plan
to reduce the transfer from the Electric Utility to the General Fund. This policy change
was made to ensure that the transfer from the Electric Utility is reasonable, and not a
significant burden on the electric utility and electric rates. The City transitioned from a
policy that capped the transfer at 10.5% of electric operating revenues, to an in lieu of
franchise fee based on KWH electric sales. The new policy has the transfer capped at
6% of electric operating revenues. The transfer was reduced in FY12 by $2.0 million, and
the FY13 transfer is approved to be reduced by an additional $1.0 million. This results in
a total reduction in the transfer to the General Fund of $3.0 million. This reduction 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. A 4% rate
increase was forecast in FY12, but was postponed to FY13. This increase has been
postponed again, resulting in no rate increase budgeted for FY13.
Increased Public Safety: A new Fire Station has been constructed in College Station to
address the need for protection for high rise buildings being built on the Texas A & M
campus as well as the new apartment buildings being built close to campus. There were
18 new firefighter positions added, along with a new ambulance, and fire engine. The
construction of Fire Station #6 was approved in the 2008 bond authorization and has
recently been completed with the grand opening occurring in December 2012.
• Improved Mobility: The City continues to focus on traffic and transportation projects.
During 2012, several streets were rehabilitated or reconstructed, including Rock Prairie
West, Brothers Blvd, Post Oak Circle, Muirfield Village, Jones Butler and Hardwood. In
addition to maintaining existing streets, planning and construction continue on new
streets and thoroughfares, sidewalk projects, and hike and bike trails throughout the City.

LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
Long-Term Financial Planning Process
Operations and Maintenance: Every year, the City prepares a balanced budget, with
the involvement of the City Council, City Managers, Executive Management Team,
department heads, finance staff and other employees. There are planning meetings held
throughout this year long process, where discussions regarding the future of the City’s
financial health are a high priority. Financial forecasts are developed for the next year, as
well as for the next 5 years for each major fund. These forecasts take historical trends,
changes in policy, and economic conditions (now and projected) into consideration as
applicable. The City also puts aside funds for major purchases in future years
(Equipment Replacement Fund) and monitors the fund balances on every fund to ensure
adherence to the City’s reserve policy.
Capital Improvement Program: A major component of the budgeting process every
year is the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Extensive planning takes place
throughout the year involving every department in the City with input from the City
Council and appointed citizen committees and boards (Planning and Zoning Board, Parks
Board, etc.). Discussion takes place regarding the currently funded projects as well as
the currently unfunded projects to determine what changes should be made to the CIP
and where potentially needed future funding will come from. During this process,
attention is given to the impact the projects will have on future operations & maintenance
costs.
Anticipated Long-Term Financial Impacts
Biomedical Corridor: The purpose of the BioCorridor is to attract bio-related industries
that develop life-changing medical technologies, build tax base, and attract high-paying
jobs and investment to the City. The City of College Station and the City of Bryan
entered into an Interlocal Agreement hoping to create a monumental economic
development endeavor. The impact of this endeavor would foster growth in the
community for several years, in the areas of biotechnology, retail, commercial, office,
entertainment and high-density residential. In anticipation of this growth, plans are being
made to increase the required infrastructure projects in our Capital Projects funding
forecasts. In June 2012 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and its
Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) announced a $285
million contract for the establishment of a Center for Innovation in Advanced
Development and Manufacturing at Texas A&M University.
5
Texas A&M (TAMU) Football:
o During 2012, Texas A&M University joined the Southeastern Conference (SEC),
which has had an impact on the City’s economy by increasing the number of
visitors from outside of Texas. Each year, the number of home games impacts
the revenue the City receives primarily from Sales Tax and Hotel Occupancy
Tax. One game more or less each year can have a significant impact. Also,
according to Forbes, the popularity of Johnny “Football” Manziel (quarterback
and Heisman Trophy winner) has the potential of boosting TAMU’s recruiting
pipeline and undergraduate applications for the next several years – and
potentially “infringe upon the University of Texas and their historic stronghold
within the state”. This would result in continued growth for our community in the
years to come.
o Kyle Field (TAMU football field) holds approximately 87,000 fans. Over the last
several months, Texas A&M has been discussing rebuilding or rehabilitating Kyle
Field. This could have an economic impact on the City, depending on how they
plan to do the construction – if the construction plan results in fewer seats
available during the football season.
In anticipation of the impact on this community, revenue has been conservatively
increased in our operations and maintenance fund forecasts for the next couple of years,
then reduced for the years of construction. As a result, the fund balances have been
forecasted to grow conservatively in anticipation of reduced sales tax and hotel tax
revenue for the years of construction.
Development of the Medical Corridor: The intent of the Medical District is to create
opportunities for new development, accommodating and enhancing the growing
concentration of medical uses in the area. The Medical District Master Plan establishes
guiding principles for the development of approximately 1,700 acres in south College
Station to accommodate medical facilities, walkable village centers, commercial space,
and a variety of residential unit types. The Master Plan includes an extensive linked
network of trails and open spaces to further the overarching concept of a healthy
community focused on wellness. In anticipation of the creation of this district,
discussions are taking place on what the increased infrastructure needs are and how the
City will fund these needs.
OTHER INFORMATION
Independent Audit
Section 37 of the City's Charter requires that not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of each
fiscal year, the City Council shall designate a qualified public accountant or accountants who, as
of the end of the fiscal year, shall make an independent audit of accounts and other evidences of
financial transactions of the city government and shall submit the report to the City Council. Such
accountants shall have no personal interest, direct or indirect, in the fiscal affairs of the city
government. They shall not maintain any account or record of the city business, but, within
specifications approved by the City Council, shall post-audit the books and documents kept by
the Department of Fiscal Services and any separate or subordinate accounts kept by any other
office, department or agency of the city government.
The City of College Station has engaged Ingram, Wallis & Company, Certified Public
Accountants, of Bryan, Texas to perform the audit, and their opinion has been included in this
report. It should be noted that the auditors included all funds in their audit, performed their audit
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards, and concluded, based upon the
audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City of
6
College Station's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 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 this report.
Certificate of Achievement
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada ("GFOA")
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of College
Station for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ("CAFR") for the Fiscal Year ended
September 30, 2011. This was the twenty-eighth out of twenty-nine consecutive years that the
City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a
government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual
financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and
applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program's requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for
another certificate.
Responsibilitv for Financial Reporting
The City's Senior Management, including the Interim 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 prudent manner.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
This section of the City of College Station’s (the “City”) Comprehensive Annual Financial Report presents
a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended

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
differences 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, park 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 29‐30.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is 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
states, 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 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
15

City of College Station, Texas
revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains several individual governmental funds organized according to their type (special
revenue, debt service and capital projects). Information is presented separately in the governmental
fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in
fund balances for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund and Streets 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 nonmajor governmental funds is provided
in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The governmental fund financial
statements can be found on pages 31‐34.
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 nonmajor 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 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 statement can be found on pages 35‐37.

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.
Required Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report presents on pages
72‐74, certain required supplementary information concerning the City’s progress in funding its
obligation to provide pension benefits and other postemployment benefits to its employees and the
General Fund budget‐to actual comparison.
Combining Statements
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with the nonmajor governmental funds, the
nonmajor enterprise funds, and the internal service funds are presented on pages 84‐114 immediately
following the required supplementary information.
GOVERNMENT‐WIDE FINANCIAL ANYALYSIS
As noted earlier, net assets may serve as a useful indicator of government’s financial position. For the
City, assets exceeded liabilities by $421,850,110 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. The largest
portion of the City’s net assets (78.0 percent) reflects its investment of $328,999,412 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
An additional portion of the City’s net assets, $15,187,479 (3.6 percent) represents resources that are
subject to external restriction on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net
assets, $77,663,219 (18.4 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
$14,510,522 as a result of fiscal year 2012 operations, as compared to the increase of $8,303,007 for
fiscal year 2011 operations. The year over year difference is mostly attributable to decreases in
expenditures primarily in purchased power in the Electric Fund in fiscal year 2012.
The following table provides a summary of the City’s operations for the year ended September 30, 2012
and highlights key elements of the change in the City’s net assets:

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 nonmajor funds.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $62,742,420. Approximately 24.2 percent ($15,186,915) 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 is not available for new spending because it has already been
committed as follows:
Nonspendable $ 6,943,250
Restricted $ 36,556,922
Committed $ 3,618,354
Assigned $ 436,979
Unassigned $ 15,186,915
A detailed breakdown of the fund balance can be found in Note IV. I. Components of Fund Balances.
Revenues for governmental functions totaled $69,248,249 in fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, an
increase of 3.7 percent or $2,501,604 from the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Expenditures for
governmental functions totaling $91,582,832 increased by approximately 3.4 percent or $3,000,297
from the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Other financing sources and uses (net) was
$14,356,899. As a result, in fiscal year 2012, expenditures for governmental functions exceeded
revenues by $7,977,684. This is primarily due to construction progress on the Fire Station #6 capital
project 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 $15,186,915 while the total fund balance was $16,492,693.
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 26.1 percent of fiscal year 2012 amended budgeted expenditures and exceeds
the minimum requirement set by policy.
As a measure of fund’s liquidity, it is useful to compare both unassigned and total fund balance to total
fund actual expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 25.3 percent of total general fund
expenditures, while total fund balance represents 27.5 percent of total general fund expenditures. The
21
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
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.
The General Fund’s fund balance increased by $2,099,660 during the current fiscal year. The Key factors
in this change follow:
The fiscal year 2012 original budget anticipated a minimal increase in fund balance as a result of
budget reductions due primarily to restructuring and process improvement.
Sales tax revenues came in higher than anticipated in fiscal year 2012.
The Debt Service Fund ended the fiscal year with a fund balance of $3,802,443. This entire amount is
reserved for the payment of debt service. The net decrease in fund balance during the current fiscal year
was $502,153. This decrease is due to the refunding of bonds during fiscal year 2012 that will reduce
future debt service needs. Revenues received during the year were enough to cover principal
retirements and interest payments.
The Streets Projects fund ended the fiscal year with a balance of $12,114,922. 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 $1,464,050. 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
$219,302,714. Of this amount, 17.6 percent ($38,597,823) constitutes unrestricted net assets. The
remainder of net assets for the proprietary funds, $180,704,891, is reported as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net related debt ($179,123,899), and
Restricted for debt service ($1,580,992).
Operating revenues for proprietary activities totaled $133,257,747 for the fiscal year, a decrease of 4.0
percent or $5,565,616 from the previous fiscal year. Operating expenses decreased $6,127,063 or 5.3
percent for the same period. Operating income was $22,888,115 for the fiscal year. The proprietary
funds reported net non‐operating expenses of $12,117,665 at the end of fiscal year 2012 as compared
to net non‐operating expenses of $11,726,079 in the previous fiscal year. Also, the Proprietary Funds
reported a prior period adjustment of $3,329,413 (see Note IV.G) resulting in an overall increase of
$7,441,037 in net assets for fiscal year 2012.
Electric Fund
At the end of the fiscal year, the unrestricted net assets for the Electric Fund totaled $5,975,296. 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, 2012, Electric
22
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
Fund working capital equaled approximately 18.2 percent of annual operating expenses, as compared to
9.3 percent at September 30, 2011.
Electric Fund operating revenues decreased by 4.1 percent ($4,118,649) during fiscal year 2012, while
operating expenses decreased 7.9 percent ($7,240,653) during the same period. This resulted in
operating income of $12,230,586. The increase in operating income is attributable to the decrease in
purchased power costs with the less intense weather conditions during fiscal year 2012 as compared to
the prior year’s drought conditions. The operating income when combined with the net non‐operating
expenses resulted in an increase in net assets of $4,496,962 in the Electric Fund during the fiscal year.
Water Fund
Unrestricted net assets for the Water Fund at September 30, 2012 were $9,149,574. Water Fund
operating revenues decreased by 12.4 percent ($2,132,235) during fiscal year 2012. Operating expenses
of $8,461,539 increased 4.1 percent ($337,078) over fiscal year 2011. This resulted in operating income
of $6,594,776. The operating income when combined with the net non‐operating expenses and prior
period adjustment (see Note IV.G) resulted in an increase in net assets of $1,026,079 in the Water Fund
during the fiscal year.
Wastewater Fund
The Wastewater Fund’s unrestricted net assets at the end of the end of fiscal year 2012 were
$7,667,088. The Wastewater Fund ended the fiscal year with a working capital balance of $9,678,304
which was 63.1 percent higher than fiscal year 2011.
Operating revenues in Wastewater Fund were $13,226,361 or $585,969 (4.6 percent) increase over the
previous fiscal year. Operating expenses increased from $9,115,656 to $9,550,503 or 4.8 percent while
operating income increased by 4.3 percent from $3,524,736 to $3,675,858. The operating income when
combined with the net non‐operating expenses and prior period adjustment (see Note IV.G) resulted in
an increase in net assets of $1,062,341 in the Wastewater Fund during the fiscal year.
Budgetary Highlights
The final amended budget for fiscal year 2012 totaled $255,830,273 for all funds. Of this amount
$218,067,311 (85.2 percent) was budgeted for operations and maintenance expenditures and
$37,762,962 (14.8 percent) was budgeted for capital improvement projects.
In the General Fund the final amended budget showed a decrease in fund balance of $2,563,184. The
actual change in fund balance was an increase of $2,099,660. 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:

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES
Economic conditions have been a bit more positive than they have been in several years. Sales tax
revenues have seen stronger growth in the past year, and property values have increased as well.
Growth has been seen in the northern part of the City with all of the activity planned in the University
Drive/Northgate area, as well as the anticipated activity in the bio-corridor area. Growth also continues in
the southern part of the City with the progress of new and expanded medical facilities, and continued
retail development in the Tower Point area. However, there is still a great deal of uncertainty in the
economy. Decisions on important issues such as the future renovation or replacement of Kyle Field at

City of College Station, Texas
Texas A&M University could have significant impacts on the local economy depending on the decisions
that get made.
The following are some key fiscal and economic indicators for College Station including:
The total certified value of property in the City of College Station for 2012 is $5,944,312,987. This is
an increase over last year of 3.6%. This increase was due in part to new property values from new
construction of $119,411,912 added to the tax rolls. Existing property values increased by
approximately 1.5% in 2012.
Since 1995 taxable values have increase from approximately $1.5 billion to approximately $5.9
billion currently.
A local economy that has maintained an annual unemployment rate of less that 5 percent since
1990 saw higher unemployment of 5.4% in 2012.
Sales and mixed drink beverage tax revenue, the largest revenue stream in the General Fund saw a
healthy increase of 5.6% in fiscal year 2012.
Preparation of the fiscal year 2013 budget was again a challenging budget to prepare, but we believe it
reflects the policy and strategic direction of this City Council. 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 utility transfer from Electric Fund to the
General Fund.
Reorganization Plan and Budget Reductions
During FY2012, a significant organization restructuring was implemented. There are additional changes
that are being implemented for FY13 after further review of the organization structure and services that
are provided. The reorganization impacts several departments and will result in recurring cost savings to
the City, as well as significantly improve efficiency by refocusing resources on core services.
These reductions will result in savings of a little over $500,000 in FY13. The reductions included the
elimination of 10 budgeted Full Time Equivalent positions throughout the organization; 7 of the positions
were filled, with 2 of the employees in the filled positions being transferred to other positions while one
may continue to work on a contract basis. While these are again difficult decisions to make, we believe
they are in the best interest of the city, as the savings generated will provide additional resources for
strategic priorities including public safety.
Over the last several years, a total of $7.6 million has been removed from the budget through efficiency
improvements with no major reduction in services. This includes the elimination of 53.75 Full Time
Equivalent positions. The FY13 base budget included the elimination of the 10.0 positions discussed
earlier. During this same period (FY09 – FY13), 43 public safety positions have been added to the
budget. This includes the staffing for the new Fire Station on University Drive opening this fall, as well as
additional Police staff in the Police Department. We continue to look for and implement efficiencies in the
way services are provided in order to meet service demands.

Utility Transfer Policy Changes
Last year we began a multi-year plan to reduce the transfer from the Electric Utility to the General Fund.
This policy change was made to ensure that the transfer from the Electric Utility is reasonable, and not a
significant burden on the electric utility and electric rates. We have transitioned from a policy that capped
the transfer at 10.5% of electric operating revenues, to an in lieu of franchise fee based on KWH electric
sales. The new policy has the transfer capped at 6% of electric operating revenues. The transfer was
reduced in FY12 by $2.0 million, and the FY13 transfer is approved to be reduced by an additional $1.0
million. This results in a total reduction in the transfer to the General Fund of $3.0 million. This reduction
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. A 4% rate increase was forecast in FY12,
but was postponed to FY13. This increase has been postponed again, resulting in no rate increase for
FY13.
Increased Service Levels
The following are some significant increases in service levels in the fiscal year 2013 budget.
Core Services and Infrastructure – Police Department - To address increased congestion and crime in the
Northgate Entertainment District, the approved Police Department budget includes $895,681 for the
addition of 1 Sergeant, 6 officers and associated vehicles and equipment. The approved budget also
includes funding in the amount of $62,423 for the addition of a Police Assistant in the Criminal
Investigation Division to allow Police Officers to focus on tasks that require a sworn officer.
Core Services and Infrastructure - Public Works - Funds in the amount of $280,700 are approved in the
Public Works budget for traffic and transportation projects. This includes $45,000 for a traffic signal
synchronization and timing project, $50,000 for an upgrade to fiber optic traffic signal communication
$100,000 for a Traffic Operations Master Plan, and $35,700 for an Asset Management and Work Order
System for Traffic. Also included is $50,000 for an Intersection Operational Improvement Analysis.
Tax Rate
The fiscal year 2013 budget was prepared using the effective tax rate of 43.0687 cents per $100
assessed valuation. This is a net decrease of 0.7308 cents from the fiscal year 2012 tax rate of 43.7995
cents. The fiscal year 2013 approved tax rate reduces the Debt Service portion of the tax rate by 0.5901,
and reduces the General Fund portion of the tax rate by 0.1407 cents.
Utility Rates
The fiscal year 2013 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
2013 budget does not include a rate increase in the Electric Fund, Water Fund, Sanitation Fund, or
Drainage Fund.
Capital Improvements
The fiscal year 2013 budget for capital improvements total $40,490,202. 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 $76,950,000 in future General
obligation Bonds for Streets, traffic, fire station projects, the library expansion project, and parks and
recreation projects. Some of the more significant upcoming capital projects are as follows:

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
Statment of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance
Governmental Funds
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
33
Net change in fund balance - total governmental funds (7,977,684)$
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.14,341,717
The effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (e.g., sales, trade ins,
and contributions) is to increase/decrease net assets.
Capital contributions 2,978,090
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. (289,579)
Depreciation expense on capital assets is reported in the government-wide statement of
activities, but they do not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, depreciation
expense is not reported as expenditure in governmental funds.(11,139,107)
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 (11,515,000)$
Bond principal retirement 13,875,000
Certificate of Obligation principal retirement 4,670,000 7,030,000
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.(747,431)
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.
Compensated absences (2,552,002)$
Net pension obligation (720,721)
Other post retirement benefits (861,924) (4,134,647)
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.77,553
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 1,173,088$
Net amount allocated to business activities 500,597
Depreciation 1,927,475 3,601,160
Change in net assets of governmental activities 3,740,072$

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
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 as 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 restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular
38
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
City of College Station, Texas
function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among programs 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 the type of information a given fund presents; 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 focuses
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 measureable 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 primarily from taxes levied
by the City. Financial resources that are being accumulated from principal and interest in future years
are also reported in the Debt Service Fund.
39
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
City of College Station, Texas
The Streets 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
services. 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
operation and maintenance, new construction, and financing and related debt services. Billing and
collection services are accounted for as an internal service fund.
The Wastewater Fund accounts for the activities necessary to provide wastewater services to the
residents of the City. These activities include administrative services, wastewater system operation and
maintenance, new construction, and financing and related debt services. Billing and collection services
are accounted for as an internal service fund.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal Services 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 collections; 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 internal fund 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 operation 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 operation revenues of the City’s 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 fund and internal services funds include the cost of services, administrative expenses, and
40
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
City of College Station, Texas
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 flow, cash and cash
equivalents (including restricted assets) include demand accounts, investments 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 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 2011 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. This policy is applicable to all city
funds and permits investment in obligations of 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 Office 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 the context of the overall portfolio. The objective of investment in
construction funds should at least 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
41
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
City of College Station, Texas
maturities as interest rates rise, to secure market profits and shorten maturities as interest rates fall, and to
take advantage of differences in relative yield between different types of securities and varying maturities.
“Swaps” 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
costs 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 cemetery plot sales to be allocated to the operational fund. These assets held for resale in the nonmajor
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, 2012, are recorded as
prepaid costs with a reserve for prepaid items recognized in the governmental funds in the fund level
financial statements to indicate that a portion of fund balance is not available for other subsequent
expenditures.
Interfund Transaction 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
42
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
City of College Station, Texas
between 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 obligations, 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.
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 assets 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 ASC 980 Regulated Operations, interest is not capitalized
during construction of capital assets of business-type activities because interest is recovered currently in the
City’s established rate structure.
Depreciation of all assets is recorded and calculated using the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:
Electric system 1-50 Years
Water system 2-50 Years
Wastewater system 2-50 Years
Infrastructure 10-50 Years
Buildings and building improvements 5-50 Years
Land improvements 10-45 Years
Machinery and equipment 5-20 Years
Motor vehicles 3-12 Years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5-20 Years

City of College Station, Texas
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, 2012 were as follows:
Beginning
Balance Earned Paid
Ending
Balance
Amount
Due Within
One Year
Governmental activities 2,452,743$ 339,597$ (383,444)$ 2,408,896$ 197,551$
Business type activities 561,157 85,949 (88,352) 558,754 45,822
Total comp. Absences 3,013,900$ 425,546$ (471,796)$ 2,967,650$ 243,373$
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 $54,445 of internal service funds’ accrued vacation was included in governmental activities, and
$53,624 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.
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
44

City of College Station, Texas
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 the government’s highest level of decision-making authority, the City Council, by
approval of an ordinance. 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,
the City Council, 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.
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 upcoming
fiscal year beginning 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 & Financial Reporting 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.

For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
City of College Station, Texas
Departments 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 without Council approval.
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 expenditures.
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.

General Fund, budget appropriations are adopted at the department level. Expenditures in excess of
appropriations for each fund are prohibited by the City Charter. Appropriations lapse 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.

contracts) outstanding at year end are reported as assignments of fund balances and do not constitute
expenditures or liabilities.

IV. Detailed Notes on All Funds
A. Cash and Investments
Cash and investments are accounted for within the pooled cash fund of the City. The City records
investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools.
Cash and cash equivalents, investment balances and interest income are allocated to the City’s
participating funds on a monthly basis. The amount of the allocation is based on each fund's
proportional equity to total pooled equity.
Weighted Average
Fair Value Maturity(days)
Bank Demand accounts 55,765,031$ 1
Money Market accounts 20,338,586 1
Certificates of Deposits 15,104,346 152
Texas Local Government Investment Pool 27,960,705 1
119,168,668$
Portfolio Weighted Average Maturity 20
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 2011 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 United States government and rated not less
than A or its equivalent by at least one nationally recognized investment rating firm.
2. Federal Agencies and Instrumentalities including but not limited to, discount notes, 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, or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
City of College Station, Texas
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.
5. Commercial Paper maturing within 180 days carrying a minimum rating not less than A-1 or P-1 or
equivalent by two nationally recognized rating agencies, or; rated not less than A-1 or P-1 equivalent by
one nationally recognized rating agency plus secured by an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a
domestic bank.
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, 2012, 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, 2012, the issuers whose securities represented more than 5% of
the City's investment portfolio were as follows: American Momentum Bank (13%) and Citibank (17%).
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%. The City’s
depository bank collateralizes the city’s funds at 110%.
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.

loans partially funded the purchase of real property related to an economic development project and are
repayable in even installments over five years.
E. Operating Leases
The city acquired property on University Drive known as the Chimney Hill Property in fiscal year 2009
with the intention to build a convention center on the property. Hotel tax funds were used to finance
$7,000,000 of the purchase, with the remainder of the purchase price coming from Certificate of
Obligation, Series 2009. The purchase price was allocated between the land, $6,555,190, and an
existing building on the property, $3,084,795. As of September 30, 2012, the building carried a net value
of $2,838,012 and $246,783 in accumulated depreciation.
The building at Chimney Hill was partially leased to private businesses when the City acquired the

G. Prior Period Adjustment
During fiscal year 2012, research was done on older open work orders related to water and wastewater
infrastructure projects to determine if the projects have been completed. It was determined that a few
infrastructure projects were completed and had actually been put in service prior to fiscal year 2012.
These work orders were closed and the asset moved from construction in process assets to infrastructure
assets. A prior period adjustment was made to the Water Fund and the Wastewater Fund to reflect the
portion of depreciation expense that should have been recognized prior to fiscal year 2012. This would
have reduced the prior year fund balances by $1,923,831 in the Water Fund and $1,405,582 in the
Wastewater Fund.

Business-Type Activities
Governmental Activities
The City intends to retire all of its general long-term liabilities, plus interest, from ad valorem taxes.
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 of Obligation
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, 2012.
On May 10, 2012 the City issued $21,085,000 General Obligation Improvement and Refunding Bonds,
Series 2012. The refunded bonds were an advanced refunding of General Obligation Improvement
Bonds, Series 2003, General Obligation Improvement and Refunding Bonds, Series 2004; Certificates of
Obligation, Series 2003A and 2004; and Utility Revenue Bonds, Series 2003, and 2003A and was
undertaken to reduce total general obligation and utility revenue debt service payments over the next 12
years by $2,222,226 resulting in net present value savings of $1,959,809. The true interest cost of the
General Obligation and Refunding Bonds is 2.126819%.
Proceeds of $4,235,000 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, and (3) pay
the costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds.
The City issued $16,415,000 in Certificates of Obligation, dated May 10, 2012, with a true interest cost
of 3.097424%. 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 $31,315,000 in Certificates of Obligation. $2,600,000 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. $2,728,149 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.
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, Inc.) 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, 2012 BVSWMA
Inc. owed the City $4,550,000.
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, 2012, 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, 2012, the City’s escrow balance for bonds defeased on December 1, 2011 was $2,529,576. The
defeased bonds are not callable until February 15, 2019. The escrow balance for bonds defeased on May
10, 2012 was $17,413,997. The defeased bonds are not callable until February 1, 2014 and February 15,
2014.

V. Other Information
A. Property Taxes
Property tax is levied each October 1 on the assessed (appraised) value listed as of the prior January 1
for all real and business personal property located in the City. Taxable assessed value represents the
appraisal value less applicable exemptions authorized by the City Council.
Taxes are due October 1 and are delinquent after the following January 31. Tax liens are automatic and
become enforceable as of January 1 of each year. Taxes become delinquent February 1 and are subject
to interest and penalty charges. The tax rate to finance general governmental services including debt
service was 43.79 cents per $100 of assessed valuation for the year ended September 30, 2012. 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 $150,000 per individual per year with an
aggregate attachment point for the last 12 months of $5,703,776. The liability for outstanding losses
includes $778,577 for claims incurred but not reported as of September 30, 2012.
In fiscal year 2012, 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.
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
60
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
City of College Station, Texas
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 $513,433 in the property and casualty fund and a potential liability of
$265,144 in the workers’ compensation fund. The results of the process to estimate the claims liability
is not exact, as it depends on many complex factors, such as inflation, changes in legal doctrines, and
damage awards. Accordingly, claims are reevaluated periodically to accommodate the effects of
inflation, recent claim settlement trends (including frequency and amount of pay-outs), and other
economic and social factors.
The City uses its Unemployment Fund to pay for self insurance activity involving claims filed under the
Texas Unemployment Compensation Act. Monthly contributions to fund this activity are based on a
percentage of payrolls determined annually during the budget process.
Settlements have not exceeded self-insured retention in each of the past three fiscal years.
The liabilities for insurance claims reported in each of the funds are based on Governmental Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 10, which requires a liability for claims to be reported if information
prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been
incurred at the date of the financial statements and if the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
These liabilities include an estimate for incurred but not reported claims. Changes in the balances of
claims liabilities for the self-insurance funds that are accounted for as Internal Service Funds for fiscal
years 2012 and 2011 are as follows:
2012 2011
Unpaid Claims, October 1 1,744,456$ 1,630,623$
Incurred Claims (including IBNR's) 3,908,222 6,664,986
Claims Paid (4,136,768) (6,551,153)
Unpaid Claims, September 30 1,515,910$ 1,744,456$
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 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 BVSWMA, Inc.;
Asset Transfer and Debt Reimbursement Agreement between BVSWMA, Inc., the City of College
Station and the City of Bryan;
Agreement between the City of College Station, the City of Bryan and BVSWMA, Inc. regarding the
Assignment and Assumption of Contracts and Payables;
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, Cause No. 08-001626-
CV-272 in the 272nd District Court of Brazos County, Texas, ("the Lawsuit"); consider the Agreed
Motion to Dismiss; and, consider the Agreed Order of Dismissal.
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.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, management of BVSWMA, Inc. negotiated the end of
the borrowed employee agreement with the Cities of Bryan and College Station, and a majority of the
employees covered under the “Borrowed Employee Agreement” are now employees of BVSWMA, Inc.
The “Borrowed Employee Agreement” officially ends on December 31, 2012.
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) an 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
62

For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
City of College Station, Texas
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.
During fiscal year 2012 BVSWMA, Inc. determined that certain depreciable lives of equipment used on
the landfill site were incorrect. Had the correct useful lives been in place, the financial statements for
the year ended September 30, 2011 would have include additional depreciation of $1,264,030. To
correct this error, ending net assets for the year ended September 30, 2011 have been restated.

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.
64

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.com/
The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options available in the

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 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.

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 schedule of funding progress, presented as Required Supplementary Information 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 of benefits.
E. Other Post Employment Benefits
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. 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.
During fiscal year 2012, twenty-nine former employees were covered under this arrangement, with claims
totaling $141,585.
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.
67
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
City of College Station, Texas
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. As described in note V.C, the City terminated its Borrowed
Employee Agreement with BVSWMA, Inc. Therefore, the related OPEB obligation of $134,385 was
removed.

Three-Year Trend Information
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 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
68
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
City of College Station, Texas
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 two valuations,
that for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008, and one for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010.

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
69
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
City of College Station, Texas
‐ 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.
Two separate valuations, each of which used the October 1, 2010 valuation date, were used to develop
results for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2012. The plan was changed
effective January 1, 2012 to eliminate post-65 medical coverage and was changed effective January 1,
2013 to eliminate one of the PPO benefit options. While the plan typically undergoes a biennial
valuation, pursuant to paragraph 12 of GASB 45, a new valuation must be performed if there are
significant changes to the plan since the previous valuation. For the fiscal year ending September 30,
2012, a new actuarial valuation incorporating these changes to the plan provisions was performed using
October 1, 2010 valuation date.
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 $2,219,654 in the Capital Projects Funds, $3,556,652 in the
Water Fund, $6,507,126 in the Wastewater Fund and $1,723,527 in the Electric Fund. These
commitments are for construction of various projects and will be funded primarily from long term debt.
Contingencies
The City participates in a number of federal and state assisted grant programs. These programs are
subject to program compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives. Any liability for
reimbursement which may arise as the result of these audits is not believed to be material.
Litigation
The City is a party to legal proceedings, many of which occur in the normal course of operations. It is
not possible at the present time to estimate the ultimate outcome or liability, if any, of the city with
respect to the various proceedings. Management believes any unfavorable outcomes would not 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
In October 2012, the City Council approved an amendment of the City’s Comprehensive Plan to include
the College Station Medical District Master Plan. Significant barriers to development include, but are
not limited to, lack of basic infrastructure (potable water, fire flow, sanitary sewer, etc) and lack of
transportation capacity (vehicular, pedestrian, etc) to meet the mobility needs in the area. The approved
Master Plan identified a series of financial and management tools necessary to overcome or maximize
the development potential of the area. A key tool identified in the Master Plan is the use of Tax
Increment Reinvestment Zones (TIRZ). TIRZ are authorized under Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code
for areas of the City that are undeveloped due to some inadequate or defective condition. An increment
of new value is “captured” to pay for those remedies to inadequate or defective conditions. Tax revenues
already in existence continue to go to the taxing entity. Once the TIRZ has met its term life, the total
value then goes to all the taxing districts in the project area.
City Council approved the creation of two TIRZ in December 2012. TIRZ A includes development
projects in the Rock Prairie Road area (East and West), extending Normand Drive, and other public
works projects. It is projected that new development in this portion of the District will meet or exceed
$117 million over a twenty year period. TIRZ B encompasses the area east of the State Highway 6/Rock
Prairie Road Bridge and includes most of the undeveloped proprieties within the District. It is projected
that new development in this portion of the District will meet or exceed $283 million over a twenty year
period.

*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, 2011
TMRS Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
The Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL), the Unfunded AAL (UAAL) and the covered calendar year payroll

the fiscal years ending September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2012.
The plan was changed effective January 1, 2012 to eliminate post-65 medical coverage and was changed
effective January 1, 2013 to eliminate one of the PPO benefit options. While the plan typically undergoes a
biennial valuation, pursuant to paragraph 12 of GASB 45, a new valuation must be performed if there are
significant changes to the plan since the previous valuation. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, a

DIRECT AND OVERLAPPING PROPERTY TAX RATES
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

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
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.
