INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council of
the City of College Station, Texas
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of College Station,
Texas (the “City”) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of
contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
9
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of September 30, 2016, and the respective
changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information on pages 12–25 and 69–72 be presented
to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an
essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,
economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary
information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America,
which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and
comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures
do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual
nonmajor fund financial statements, and statistical section, are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and the related budgetary comparison
schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain
additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund
financial statements and the related budgetary comparison schedules are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.
10
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 13, 2017
on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.
The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting
and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over
financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting
and compliance. This report and the results of testing of internal control and compliance for each major
program can be found in the Compliance and Single Audit Reports for the year ended September 30, 2016.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
(Unaudited)
City of College Station, Texas
This section of the City of College Station’s (the “City”) Comprehensive Annual Financial Report presents
a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2016. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional
information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the
City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year
by $524,538,258 (net position). Of this amount,
$88,934,709 (unrestricted net assets) may be used to
meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens
and creditors.
• The City’s total net position increased by $44,544,336
during the fiscal year.
• At the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s
governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $115,878,082, which is an increase of
$17,278,053 when compared to the prior year. This
increase is due primarily to the issuance of long-term
debt for street and General Government capital
projects.
• Approximately 14.6 percent of the combined
governmental funds ending fund balance, or
$16,890,755, are available for spending at the City’s discretion (unassigned fund balance).
• The City’s total amount of outstanding debt is $257,760,000, which is a net increase of $10,645,000
over last year. This increase is due to the combination of paying off existing debt and issuing new debt
for capital projects in 2016. Details can be found in the notes to the financial statements.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements.
The City’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components:
(1) Government-wide financial statements
(2) Fund financial statements
(3) Notes to the financial statements.
This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements
themselves.
The following diagram illustrates the relationship between the different components of this report:

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 position presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities, and deferred
inflows/outflows of resources with the differences reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether or not the financial position of the City
is improving or deteriorating.

City of College Station, Texas
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the
most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position 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, streets, drainage, traffic, parks and recreation, and
citizen and neighborhood resources. The business-type activities of the City include electric, water,
wastewater, sanitation, and the Northgate parking garage. The government-wide financial statements can
be found on pages 26-27.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds
of the City can be divided into governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such
information may be useful in determining what financial resources are available in the near future to finance
the City‘s programs.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of government-wide financial statements, it
is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented
for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better
understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental
fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund
balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and
governmental activities.
The City maintains several individual governmental funds organized according to their type (special
revenue, debt service and capital projects). Information is presented separately in the governmental fund
balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balances for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund and Streets 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 28-31.
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
nonmajor 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 benefit both the governmental activities and the business-
type activities and have been split between governmental activities and business type activities in
the government-wide financial statements. The internal service funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the
internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 32-34.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding
of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial
statements can be found on pages 35-68.
Required Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report presents certain required
supplementary information, found on pages 69-72, 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 found on pages 74-115.
Statistical Section
The statistical section containing unaudited financial trend data, revenue capacity, debt capacity, and
demographic and economic information is included on pages 117-142.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position may serve as a useful indicator of government’s financial position. For the
City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by
$524,538,258 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. The largest portion of the City’s net position (73.5
percent) reflects its investment of $385,503,773 in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, and equipment) less
any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide
services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s
investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed
to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be
liquidated for these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City’s net position, $50,099,776 (9.6 percent), represents resources that are
subject to external restriction on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets,
$88,934,709 (17.0 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 position, 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 position increased by $44,544,336 as
a result of fiscal year 2016 operations, as compared to the increase of $34,333,359 for fiscal year 2015
operations.

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 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.
At of the end of fiscal year 2016, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances
of $115,878,082. Approximately 14.6 percent ($16,890,755) of this total amount constitutes unassigned

fund balance and is available for spending at the City’s discretion. The remainder of fund balance is
reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed as
follows:
Nonspendable $ 6,061,222
Restricted $ 47,842,829
Committed $ 14,050,264
Assigned $ 31,033,012
A detailed breakdown of the fund balance can be found in Note IV. I. Components of Fund Balances.
Revenues for governmental functions totaled $86,550,291 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, an
increase of 3.1 percent or $2,605,401 from the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.
Expenditures for governmental functions, totaling $111,606,829, increased by approximately 14.8 percent,
or $14,396,847, from the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. Other financing sources and uses (net)
were $42,334,591. As a result, in fiscal year 2016, revenues for governmental functions exceeded
expenditures by $17,278,053. This increase is primarily due to the issuance of long term debt for capital
projects.
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 $16,890,755 while the total governmental fund balance was
$115,878,082. 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 23.1 percent of fiscal year 2016 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 21.8 percent of total general fund expenditures,
while total fund balance represents 24.7 percent of total general fund expenditures. The total fund balance
for the general fund continues to meet and exceed the Fiscal and Budgetary Policy of having 15 percent of
expenditures available in fund balance.
The General Fund’s fund balance decreased by $3,289,862 during the current fiscal year due primarily to
planned one time expenditures, equipment purchases and capital expenditures.
The Debt Service Fund ended the fiscal year with a fund balance of $4,793,558. This entire amount is
reserved for the payment of debt service. The net increase in fund balance during the current fiscal year
was $1,979,510. This increase is due to higher than anticipated ad valorem tax revenues, lower than
anticipated debt service payments, and higher than anticipated transfer in from other funds.
The Streets Projects Fund ended the fiscal year with a balance of $29,702,562. Of this amount $23,973,405
has been assigned by management to projects, but is not legally restricted as of September 30, 2016. The
remainder of $5,729,157 is legally restricted to specific projects. The net increase in fund balance during
the current fiscal year was $10,020,953. This increase was attributable to more long term debt being issued
for street capital projects, and lower than budgeted spending on street capital projects.

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, 2016, Electric
Fund working capital equaled approximately 46 percent of annual operating expenses, as compared to
28.1 percent at September 30, 2015. This increase was due continued lower purchased power costs in

percent ($490,814) during fiscal year 2016. Operating expenses of $10,810,798 increased 3.3 percent
($341,045) over fiscal year 2015. This resulted in operating income of $4,692,728. The operating income

operating expenses, as compared to 147.4 percent at September 30, 2015.

Budgetary Highlights
The final amended budget for fiscal year 2016 totaled $315,642,130 for all funds. In the General Fund the
final amended budget showed a decrease in fund balance of $11,185,310. The actual change in fund
balance (GAAP Basis) was a decrease of $3,289,862. The following are some of the key factors in the
change in fund balance:
• Revenues were higher than the estimate due to increases in licenses and permits,
fines/forfeits/penalties, rents and royalties, and various other revenues.
• Expenditures were overall lower due to reduced and deferred spending during the fiscal year.
• Some expenditures planned for in 2016 were delayed and will occur in 2017.
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:
• Good Governance
• Financially Sustainable City
• Providing Core Services and Infrastructure
• Neighborhood Integrity
• Diverse Growing Economy
• Improving Mobility
• Sustainable City
Budget resources were included in the fiscal year 2016 to address these priorities.

that are different than requirements in prior years. Both valuations are important as the reporting valuation
provides a rigorous standard of measure that can be used to compare the City’s pension liabilities to other
governments from around the nation. The funding valuation is important as the actuarial methods used
including strategies for repaying any unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities combined with the City’s history
of making those contributions provides insights regarding the City’s commitment to and the effectiveness
of its funding strategy.
Information contained in the financial statements themselves including the first schedule of Required
Supplementary Information (RSI), Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, is
based on the reporting valuation. The second schedule in the RSI, Schedule of Contributions, is based on
the funding valuation. On a reporting basis, the City’s financial statements reflect a Net Pension Liability as
of September 30, 2016 of $40,402,229, which is 83.17% of the City’s annual covered payroll of
$48,579,284.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES
Economic conditions remain mostly positive in College Station. Property values have continued to increase,
with new construction continuing at a strong pace. Growth continues in College Station. In the northern
part of the City, development and redevelopment continues along the University Drive Corridor with the
construction of mixed use developments including Century Square. This development along University
Drive is underway and is expected to include hotels, office, living and retail spaces, as well as restaurants.
On the other side of Texas Avenue the new Embassy Suites hotel is under construction and will add
significant property value to the tax base. There also continues to be activity in the Bio-Corridor. Multi-family
construction continues to take place around the city as well. Sales tax revenues continue to grow, though
at a slower pace than in recent years.
Plans for development continue in the Medical District in the southern part of the City east of Highway 6
and south of Rock Prairie Road. Retail development continues, especially in the Tower Point and Caprock
developments in the southern part of the City with new restaurants and other businesses opening and
others under construction to serve the ever growing residential populations in that area of the City. The
tourism and hospitality industry continues to develop with hotel rooms under construction in College Station.
Veterans Park and other athletic facilities continue to be utilized for a variety of events including the 7 on 7
football tournament. Over 130 athletic and special events were held in College Station in 2016.
Texas A&M University continues to see significant growth and development. Enrollment continues to
increase at Texas A&M University. Construction of new buildings and facilities on campus continues to
accommodate this growth. The Texas A&M University System recently announced plans to invest $150
million to create a new research and development campus, to be known as the RELLIS Campus, to help
companies move ideas from the laboratory to the marketplace while also offering a new path toward a
college degree.
While all of this news is positive, the growth strains city services, such as public safety, the transportation
system, the utility services and other core services. In particular, unless measures are taken to address it,
the strain on utilities could impact the ability to accommodate future growth in the coming years.
The FY 2017 budget sets the strategic policy direction for the City and provides the funding to implement
that direction for the year. This budget will allow the staff to continue to meet the needs of our citizens and
visitors as the City continues to experience a sustained period of growth. This shows itself through
continued growth in higher education, through a robust visitor and tourism economy, and all of the ancillary
things this growth brings. While growth continues, there is also a need to maintain and improve existing
infrastructure throughout the City. This budget is a roadmap for addressing the growth and infrastructure
maintenance demands of the City into the future.

As the City continues to grow, we must respond to that growth in a sustainable and measured manner. We
must be prudent with the limited available resources in an effort to maximize the services provided to
citizens and visitors of College Station.

cents, and the operations and maintenance portion of the tax rate is 27.7161 cents.
The 2017 budget includes a reduction in Electric rates of 1%, and an increase in Wastewater rates of 8%.

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances
Governmental Funds
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
30
Net change in fund balance - total governmental funds 17,278,053$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities differ as a result of the following:
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.13,783,131
Governmental funds do not recognize the total amount of revenue recognized in the government-wide
statement of activities related to the sale of redevelopment home properties 228,495
The effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (e.g., sales, trade ins,
and capital contributions) is to increase/decrease net assets.11,729,763
Some property tax and loan revenues will not be collected for several
months after the City's fiscal year end. These are not considered "available" revenues
in the governmental funds until received. 237,060
Amortization of interest as the result of debt refundings is reported in the government-wide statement of
activities but does not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, amortized interest
expense is not reported as an expenditure in governmental funds.351,917
Depreciation expense on capital assets is reported in the government-wide statement of
activities but does not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, depreciation
expense is not reported as an expenditure in governmental funds.(13,860,226)
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 position. 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 amortized 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 (22,180,000)$
Certificates of Obligation issued (18,470,000)
Bond principal retirement 8,660,000
Payment to refunded bond escrow agent 16,087,122 (15,902,878)
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 government funds.
Compensated absences 202,346
Net pension obligation (2,497,470)
Other post retirement benefits (804,796) (3,099,920)
Bond premiums are recognized as an other financing source in the governmental funds, but are
combined with bond liabilities on the statement of net position. Premiums are amortized over the
life of the bonds.(4,703,474)
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.
Change in net position 2,045,713

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
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).
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 its 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 position 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. However, interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the
process of consolidation for government-wide financial statements. Governmental activities, which normally
are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type
activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses for a given function or
segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. Program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment
and (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are
reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund
financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
Measurement focus refers to 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
and relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of the measurement focuses applied.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
City of College Station, Texas
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 position and the operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases
(expenses) in total net position.
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.
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
36

City of College Station, Texas
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 Service Funds account for activities related to the 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 operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with the fund’s principal
ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise 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
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 Position or Equity
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are (a) readily convertible
to known amounts of cash and (b) so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of
changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Therefore, for purposes of the statement of
cash flows, cash and cash equivalents (including restricted assets) include demand accounts,
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 pooled cash are 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 2015 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016. 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 Manager shall designate the City’s
Investment Officer with whom responsibility and authority for investment transactions resides.
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 that 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.
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 pools. 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 and GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value
Measurement and Application. 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.
The City has adopted Statement No. 79, Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. This statement establishes criteria for an external
investment pool to qualify for making the election to measure all of its investments at amortized cost
for financial reporting purposes. There are no impacts of this pronouncement on the financial
statements as presented.
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.
38
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
City of College Station, Texas
Assets held for resale are cemetery plots which are 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 are in the non-major governmental Cemetery funds and are reported as
inventory in the financial statements and accounted for using the purchase method.
Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond September 30, 2016, 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 Transactions and Receivables/Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of
interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans).
All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds”. Any residual
balances outstanding between 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. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs for electric, water,
and wastewater utilities 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 the 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

Motor vehicles 3-12 Years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5-20 Years
Compensated Absences
Employees are credited with vacation at rates of 10 to 20 days per year, depending upon length of
service. Carryover of unused vacation time from one year to the next is allowed for a maximum of
two years. Upon termination, the respective employees are paid for any accrued vacation not taken
(up to the two year maximum). Accumulated vacation is accrued when earned in the government-
wide and proprietary fund financial statements. No liability has been recorded in the governmental
fund financial statements.
Employees are credited with sick leave at the rate of one day per month. There is no maximum to
the number of sick days that each employee can accumulate. Because the City does not pay
employees for unused accumulated sick leave, no related liability has been recorded in the financial
statements.
Changes in compensated absences for the year ending September 30, 2016 were as follows:
Internal service funds predominantly serve the governmental funds. All internal service funds are
included as part of the above totals for governmental activities. All of the Utility Customer Service
Fund is included in the Business-type Activities on the Statement of Net Position. 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 position. Bond
premiums and discounts 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, with the exception of bond insurance, are
expensed in the period incurred.
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.

Pensions
For the year ended September 30, 2015, the City adopted GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Pensions. For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred
outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and pension expense,
information about the Fiduciary Net Position of the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS),
and additions to/deductions from TMRS’s Fiduciary Net Position have been determined on the same
basis as they are reported by TMRS. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized in the
period that compensation is reported for the employee, which is when contributions are legally due.
Benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit
terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance classifications that
comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can
be spent. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the City adopted the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASBS) number 54, “Fund Balance Reporting and
Governmental Fund Type Definitions.” GASBS 54 provides for and the City uses the following
classifications:
Nonspendable Fund Balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are not
in spendable form. The “not in spendable form” criterion includes items that are not expected
to be converted to cash, for example, inventories and prepaid amounts. It also includes the
long-term amount of loans receivable as well as property acquired for resale.
Restricted Fund Balance is reported when constraints placed on the use of resources are
either (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of
other governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling
legislation.
Committed Fund Balance includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes
pursuant to limitations imposed by the government’s highest level of decision-making
authority. The City Council is the highest level of decision making-authority for the
government that can, by approval of a resolution prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit
fund balance. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the resolution remains in place until
a similar action is taken (the approval of another resolution) to remove or revise the
limitation.
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. The governing
body, the City Council, has authorized the Assistant City Manager, through the budget
ordinance, to assign fund balance. Assignments, unlike commitments, are not permanent
and a formal action is not required for the removal of an assignment. Finally, 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 nor 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
City of College Station, Texas
Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets plus deferred outflows of resources and
liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources. Net investment in capital assets consists of capital
assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing
used for the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets, and adding back unspent
proceeds. Net position is reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use
either through the enabling legislations adopted by the City or through external restrictions imposed
by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of
assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Changes in Accounting Principles, and Restatements
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the City adopted the following pronouncements:
GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application, addresses accounting and
financial reporting issues related to fair value measurements. The definition of fair value is the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. This Statement provides guidance for determining a
fair value measurement for financial reporting purposes. This Statement also provides guidance for
applying fair value to certain investments and disclosures related to all fair value measurements.
GASB Statement No. 73, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets That
Are Not within the Scope of GASB Statement 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB
Statements 67 and 68, is to improve the usefulness of information about pensions included in the
general purpose external financial reports of state and local governments for making decisions and
assessing accountability. This Statement results from a comprehensive review of the effectiveness
of existing standards of accounting and financial reporting for all postemployment benefits with
regard to providing decision-useful information, supporting assessments of accountability and inter
period equity, and creating additional transparency.
GASB Statement No. 76, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and
Local Governments. The objective of this Statement is to identify—in the context of the current
governmental financial reporting environment—the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). The “GAAP hierarchy” consists of the sources of accounting principles used to
prepare financial statements of state and local governmental entities in conformity with GAAP and
the framework for selecting those principles.
GASB Statement No. 79, Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants. This Statement
addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain external investment pools and pool
participants. Specifically, it establishes criteria for an external investment pool to qualify for making
the election to measure all of its investments at amortized cost for financial reporting purposes.
The following guidance issued by GASB is effective for FY 2017 or FY 2018 and is expected to be
applicable to the City:
Statement No. 74 and Statement No. 75, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans
Other Than Pension Plans and Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits
Other Than Pensions both establish new accounting and financial reporting requirements for
governments whose employees are provided with OPEB, as well as for certain nonemployer
governments that have a legal obligation to provide financial support for OPEB provided to the
42
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
City of College Station, Texas
employees of other entities. The adoption of this statement is expected to require the City to restate
net position.
Statement No. 77, Tax Abatement Disclosures requires governments that enter into tax abatement
agreements to disclose a brief descriptive information, such as the tax being abated, the authority
under which tax abatements are provided, eligibility criteria, the mechanism by which taxes are
abated, provisions for recapturing abated taxes, and the types of commitments made by tax
abatement recipients; the gross dollar amount of taxes abated during the period and commitments,
other than to abate taxes as part of a tax abatement agreement.
GASB Statement No. 78, Pensions Provided through Certain Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit
Pension Plans is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The objective
of this Statement is to address a practice issue regarding the scope and applicability of Statement
No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions. This issue is associated with pensions
provided through certain multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans and to state or local
governmental employers whose employees are provided with such pensions.
Statement No. 80, Blending Requirements for Certain Component Units—an amendment of GASB
Statement No. 14 requires the additional evaluation of criterion requiring the blending of a
component unit incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation in which the primary government is the
sole corporate member. The additional criterion does not apply to component units included in the
financial reporting entity pursuant to the provisions of Statement No. 39, Determining Whether
Certain Organizations Are Component Units.
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 Fiscal Services 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 $50,000.
All other transfers must be approved by City Council. 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.
43
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
City of College Station, Texas
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 that 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.
III. Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
A. Budgetary Information
The Council approved three budget amendments during fiscal year 2016. These budget amendments
included the following appropriations:
Encumbrance Roll $ 2,491,387
Parks and Recreation Improvements 321,839
Veterans Park Electrical Upgrades 75,000
Portable Stage 160,000
Police Department Grants Reimbursement 156,197
Police Department Holiday Pay 125,000
Police Cameras 50,440
Police Seizure Purchases 37,000

Meter Reading Contract Labor 127,576
UCS Billing Services Credit Card Fees 40,000
Drainage Vacon Equipment 57,890
Senior Planner Position (1.0 FTE) -
Compensation Analyst Position (1.0 FTE) -
TOTAL $ 6,066,043
1. Budget appropriations are adopted at the fund level for all funds except the General Fund. In the
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.
3. Encumbrance accounting is employed in governmental funds. Encumbrances (e.g., purchase
orders, 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.

Portfolio Weighted Average Maturity 58
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 with which the CD’s are held.
45
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
City of College Station, Texas
Bids for Certificates of Deposit may be solicited orally, in writing, electronically or using any
combination of these methods.
4. Repurchase Agreements with a defined termination date of 90 days or less collateralized by a
combination of cash and securities listed in 1 - 2 above. Collateral must have a minimum fair
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. AAA-rated No-Load Money Market Mutual Funds registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission that invest exclusively in investments described in this section. Must have a
weighted average maturity of less than 90 days.
6. 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 fair 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 fair market value of the shares in each of the
pools. As of September 30, 2016, 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, authorized pools and the City’s
depository accounts, 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 40%. As of September 30, 2016, the issuers whose
securities represent the City's investment portfolio were as follows: American Momentum Bank (5%)
and U.S. Agencies (7%).
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.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the City adopted GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value
Measurement and Application, which addresses accounting and financial reporting issues related to fair
value measurements. GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs
to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority
to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
46
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
City of College Station, Texas
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or
liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.
Level 2 - Inputs to valuation methodology include, (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in
active markets, (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, (c)
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, (d) inputs that are derived
principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the
asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for
substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value
measurement.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
If a price for an identical asset or liability is not observable, a government should measure fair value using
another valuation technique that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of
unobservable inputs. If the fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using inputs from more than one
level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input
that is significant to the entire measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies
used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at
September 30, 2016 and 2015.
The City has recurring fair value measurements as presented in the table below.

(NAV) and are exempt from fair value reporting.
The Texpool investment pool is an external investment pool measured at amortized cost. In order
to meet the criteria to be recorded at amortized cost, the investment pool must transact at a stable

City of College Station, Texas
net asset value per share and maintain certain maturity, quality, liquidity and diversification
requirements within the investment pool The investment pool transacts at a net asset value of $1.00
per share, has weighted average maturities of 60 days or less and weighted average lives of 120
days or less, investments held are highly rated by nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations, have no more than 5% of portfolio with one issuer (excluding U.S. government
securities), and can meet reasonable foreseeable redemptions. Texpool has a redemption notice
period of one day and may redeem daily. The investment pool’s authority may only impose
restrictions on redemptions in the event of a general suspension of trading on major securities
markets, general banking moratorium or national state of emergency that affects the pool’s liquidity.
The TexSTAR investment pool is an external investment pool measured at NAV. The strategy is to
seek preservation of principal, liquidity and current income through investment in a diversified
portfolio of short term marketable securities. The City has no unfunded commitments related to the
pools. TexSTAR has a redemption notice period of one day and may redeem daily. The investment
pool’s authority may only impose restrictions on redemptions in the event of a general suspension
of trading on major securities markets, general banking moratorium or national state of emergency
that affects the pool’s liquidity.
U.S. Government Agency Securities and U.S. Treasury Bonds and Notes, classified in Level 2 of the fair
value hierarchy, are valued using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based
on the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices. Certificates of Deposit are classified as cash in
the fair value hierarchy.

For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
City of College Station, Texas
F. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources – Other than Pensions
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position and/or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred
outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will
not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. For the period ended
September 30, 2016, the City reported $1,772,035 and $1,749,900, for Governmental and Business-type
Activities, respectively, in charges on debt refunding as deferred outflow of resources. These charges are
reported on the government wide Statement of Net Position and will be amortized over the life of the
refunding debt.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position and/or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred
inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will
not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has one item that arises only
under a modified accrual basis of accounting, which qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the
item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet and statement of net
position.
The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from the following sources:
Unavailable Unearned Total
Property Tax $ 348,063 $ - $ 348,063
Loans Receivable 241,001 - 241,001
Other – Cemetery Plot Loans Receivable 13,633 - 13,633
Other – Street Funds 345,997 - 345,997
Other – General Fund 1,461,162 - 1,461,162
$ 2,409,856 $ - $ 2,409,856
These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts
become available.
Governmental funds report unearned revenue in connection with receivables for revenues that are not
considered to be available to liquidate liabilities of the current period. As of fiscal year end, the unearned
revenue reported in the governmental funds related to emergency services was $1,457,296.
G. Prior Period Adjustment
There are no prior period adjustments for September 30, 2016.

H. Long-Term Debt
The City elected to implement GASB Statement 65 in fiscal year 2013. A summary of long-term debt
transactions, including current portion, for the year ended September 30, 2016 follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
City of College Station, Texas
The City intends to retire all of its general long-term liabilities, plus interest, from the collection of ad valorem
taxes. Proprietary fund type long-term debt issued for Northgate Parking Garage, Electric, Water and
Wastewater projects will be repaid, plus interest, from the operating revenues of their respective 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, 2016.
In 2009, the City issued $31,315,000 in Certificates of Obligation. $2,600,000 of the
proceeds were 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. Also, 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. BVSWMA, Inc. has pledged to repay
the $5,145,000 plus interest to the City of College Station. As of September 30, 2016,
BVSWMA, Inc. owed the City $3,610,000.
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, 2016, 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
City of College Station, Texas
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 retired until the call dates have come due or until maturity if they are not
callable issues. On September 30, 2016, the City’s escrow balance for bonds defeased on
December 1, 2011 was $1,844,388 and for bonds defeased on July 5, 2016 was
$18,430,396. The defeased bonds are not callable until February 15, 2019 and February
15, 2018, respectively.
Part of the 2016 refunding bonds included a refunding of the 2006 Refunding Bonds. The
2006 Refunding Bonds were the result of refunding the 1996 General Obligation Bonds, the
1998 General Obligation Bonds, the 2000 Certificates of Obligation and the 2000 General
Obligation Bonds. The refunding was undertaken to reduce total general obligation and
utility revenue debt service payments over the life of the debt. Cash flow savings were
$150,622 from the original 1996 General Obligation debt and $8,510 from the 2006
refunding. This bond was called on July 12, 2016 and represented a discounted present
value net savings of $145,717 from the original debt and $8,718 from the 2006 refunding.

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 47.2500 cents per $100 of assessed valuation for the year ended September 30, 2016. 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 faces many risks. These risks generally can be
divided 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 from these exposures.
The City is self-insured for health benefits, and the plan is administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas.
This activity is accounted for in the Employee Benefits Fund, which is funded monthly from employee
contributions and City operating funds. 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 the City’s liability to $180,000 per individual per year, with an aggregate attachment
point for the last 12 months of $7,891,541. The liability for outstanding losses includes $1,717,575 for claims
incurred but not reported as of September 30, 2016.
In fiscal year 2016, 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 $500,000 per occurrence, depending on type
of loss and location of property. Risk Management paid all direct and indirect losses out of the Property
Casualty fund and no losses exceeded the City’s deductible.
The City self-insures all liability coverage lines. Licensed adjusters in the City’s Risk Management Division
process Liability and Workers’ Compensation claims utilizing the services of Third Party Administrator
Abercrombie, Simmons & Gillette (AS&G). In the event of a simultaneous liability and Workers'
Compensation claim, only one SIR (self-insured retention) applies.
To further protect the City from catastrophic loss, the City carries excess liability coverage through Allied
World Insurance Company, A.M. Best rated A XV, and Colony Insurance Company, A.M. Best rated A XIII.
Colony is also the City’s excess Workers’ Compensation carrier. The self-insured retention ("SIR") for 2016
was $500,000 per claim for workers’ compensation and general, auto and employer liability; and $650,000
for fire and police liability.” Excess liability and excess workers’ compensation policy premiums were funded
57
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
City of College Station, Texas
by calculated contributions from the City’s operating funds. These policies protect the City from losses above
the City’s SIR. The City experienced no losses above the SIR in 2016.
Liabilities in the property and casualty fund and the Workers’ Compensation fund are reported to the carrier
when a covered loss can be reasonably estimated to approach one-half of the City’s Self-Insured Retention.
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 $449,197 in the property and casualty fund and a potential liability
of $227,934 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 re-evaluated periodically to accommodate the effects of inflation, recent
claim settlement trends (including frequency and amount of pay-outs), and other economic and social
factors. Settlements have not exceeded self-insured retention in each of the past three fiscal years.
As a reimbursing employer, the City uses the Unemployment Fund to pay qualified claims filed under the
Texas Unemployment Compensation Act. Monthly contributions to fund this activity are based on a
percentage of payroll determined annually during the budget process.
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 it is probable 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 accounted for as Internal Service Funds for fiscal years 2016 and 2015
are as follows:
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 by-laws 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):

• 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.
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 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 Venture’s
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 required BVSWMA, Inc. to place a final cover on its Rock Prairie
landfill site when it stopped 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. During the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2013, the installation of the remaining final cover at the Rock Prairie Road Landfill (+/- 40
acres) was completed. Although closure and post closure care costs will be paid only near or after the date
that the landfill stopped accepting waste, BVSWMA, Inc. reports a portion of these closure and post closure
care costs as an operating expense in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each balance sheet
date. Actual cost may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.

D. Pension Plan
Plan Description
The City accounts for pension cost under GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Pensions. The City of College Station participates as one of 860 plans in the multi-
employer, nontraditional, joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit pension plan administered by the
Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). TMRS is an agency created by the State of Texas
and administered in accordance with the TMRS Act, Subtitle G, Title 8, Texas Government Code
(the TMRS Act) as an agent multiple-employer retirement system for municipal employees in the
State of Texas. The TMRS Act places the general administration and management of the System
with a six-member Board of Trustees. Although the Governor, with the advice and consent of the
Senate, appoints the Board, TMRS is not fiscally dependent on the State of Texas. TMRS’s defined
benefit pension plan is a tax-qualified plan under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
TMRS issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) that can be
obtained at www.tmrs.com. All eligible employees of the city are required to participate in TMRS.
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by the
governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS.
At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee’s contributions, with interest, and
the city-financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity. Members may

choose to receive their retirement benefit in one of seven actuarially equivalent payments options.
Members may also choose to receive a portion of their benefit as a Partial Lump Sum Distribution in
an amount equal to 12, 24, or 36 monthly payments, which cannot exceed 75% of the member’s
deposits and interest.
The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options available in
the state statutes governing TMRS. Plan provisions for the City were as follows:
Employee deposit rate 7.00%
Matching ratio (City to Employee) 2 to 1
Years required for vesting 5
Service retirement eligibility 20 years at any age; 5 years at age 60 and above
Updated service credit 75% repeating transfers
Annitiy increase (to retirees) 50% of CPI repeating
Employees covered by benefit terms –
At the December 31, 2015 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered
by the benefit terms:
Contributions
The contribution rates for employees in TMRS are either 5%, 6%, or 7% of employee gross earnings,
and the city matching percentages are either 100%, 150%, or 200%, both as adopted by the
governing body of the city. Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each city
is determined annually by the actuary, using the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method.
The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the cost of benefits
earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued
liability.
Employees for the City of College Station were required to contribute 7% of their annual gross
earnings during the fiscal year. The contribution rates for the City of College Station were 14% and
13% in calendar years 2015 and 2016, respectively. The City’s contribution to TMRS for fiscal year
2016, were $6,447,328 and were equal to the required contributions.
Net Pension Liability
The city’s Net Pension Liability (NPL) was measured as of December 31, 2015, and the Total
Pension Liability (TPL) used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of that date.
Actuarial assumptions
The Total Pension Liability in the December 31, 2015 actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 391
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 479
Active employees 858

Salary increases were based on service-related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees,
and beneficiaries were based on the gender-distinct RP2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Table,
with male rates multiplied by 109% and female rates multiplied by 103%. The rates are projected
on a fully generational basis by scale BB to account for future mortality improvements. For disabled
annuitants, the gender-distinct RP2000 Disabled Retiree Mortality Table is used, with slight
adjustments.
Actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2015, valuation were based on the results of actuarial
experience studies. This experience study was for the period December 31, 2010 through December
31, 2014. Healthy post-retirement mortality rates and annuity purchase rates were updated based on
a Mortality Experience Investigation Study covering 2009 through 2011, and dated December 31,
2013. These assumptions were first used in the December 31, 2013 valuation, along with a change
to the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. Assumptions are reviewed annually. No
additional changes were made for the 2014 valuation. After the Asset Allocation Study analysis and
experience investigation study, the Board amended the long-term expected rate of return on pension
plan investments from 7% to 6.75%. Plan assets are managed on a total return basis with an emphasis
on both capital appreciation as well as the production of income, in order to satisfy the short-term and
long-term funding needs of TMRS.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 6.75%. The pension plan’s policy
with regard to the allocation of invested assets is established and may be amended by the TMRS
Board of Trustees. Plan assets are managed on a total return basis with an emphasis on both capital
appreciation as well as the production of income, in order to satisfy the short-term and long-term
funding needs of TMRS.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-
block method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns,
net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the
expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected
inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset
class are summarized in the following table:
Asset

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 6.75%. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee contributions will remain at the
current 6.75% and employer contributions will be made at the rates specified in statute. Based on that
assumption, the pension plan’s Fiduciary Net Position was projected to be available to make all

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 coverage until age 65 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 2016, sixty-one former employees were covered under this arrangement, with claims
less retiree contributions totaling $705,451.
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
64
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
City of College Station, Texas
the ARC to the plan each year, Instead, the ARC provides a basis for evaluating whether
the City’s contributions for OPEB are adequate to fund the benefits during the working
lifetime of current employees (i.e., the normal cost) and to amortize existing unfunded
obligations (i.e., the obligations for current retirees plus that portion of the current
employees’ obligations that are attributed to past service) in a systematic manner over the
amortization period prescribed by GASB.
The annual OPEB cost is the annual accounting expense recorded on the City’s Statement
of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position 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.

9/30/2016 1,770,936 705,451 39.83% 11,219,738
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 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, 2014 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 three valuations, that for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010, October 1, 2012
and one for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2014.
There are factors that affect the ability to compare amounts reported from one actuarial
valuation date to the next. The assumptions that have been changed since the previous
valuation are:
- the Discount Rate has been updated to reflect changes in the allocation of assets of the
employer and the expected return on such assets;
- the Assumed Per Capita Health Benefit Costs and Assumed Expenses for retirees and
dependents have been updated to reflect changes in claims and expense expectations;
and
- the Health Benefit Cost Trend and Expense Trend have been updated to reflect
changes in short-term expectations of the annual rate of increase of the Assumed Per
Capita Health Benefit Costs.
The City has had three separate valuations, one of which used the October 1, 2010
valuation date, October 1, 2012 and October 1, 2014 valuation date. The October 1, 2010
valuation date was used to develop results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012,
the October 1, 2012 valuation date was used to develop results for the fiscal years ending

September 30, 2013 and 2014. 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. The October 1, 2014 valuation
date was used to develop results for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2015 and 2016,
as part of the plans biennial valuation.
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 $26,688,688 in the Capital Projects Funds, $1,343,123 in
the Water Fund, $3,538,846 in the Wastewater Fund and $1,941,200 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.
Financial Hedging
According to the Public Funds Investment Act, a municipality that owns a municipal electric utility
that is engaged in the distribution and sale of electric energy or natural gas to the public may enter
into a hedging contract and related security and insurance agreements in relation to fuel oil, natural
gas, coal, nuclear fuel, and electric energy to protect against loss due to price fluctuations.
In fiscal year 2014, the City signed a contract with the City of Garland under which the City of Garland
will serve as the qualified scheduling entity that will formulate and discuss the hedging strategies
and options available to the City to manage its power supply portfolio and price.
Congestion Revenue Rights (CRRs) function as a mitigation against the cost of resolving congestion
in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market. The City participates in the CRR
auctions to procure CRRS for use in normal operations of delivery of electricity to its customers.
These purchases are recorded as a prepaid purchased power expense in the Electric Fund.
The City has not yet engaged in any hedging activity.

J. Subsequent Events
Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the auditors' report, March 13, 2017, which
is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
On February 2, 2017, the City Council approved the formation of a public non-profit corporation to assist
with economic development efforts and oversee the implementation of the Spring Creek Corporate
Campus. The Spring Creek Local Government Corporation will promote, develop, and encourage
employment and economic development anchored by the City of College Station’s next business park.
The corporation will be governed by a Board of Directions appointed by the City Council, with the initial
board consisting of five Directors. The Mayor will serve as President and the remaining directors to be
City officers or residents who have special expertise that would be beneficial to the corporation. The
corporation will have the power to acquire, own and dispose of real estate subject to the approval of the
City Council. Future financial statements of the City are expected to reflect this entity as a component
unit.

The City has had three separate valuations, one of which used the October 1, 2010 valuation date, October
1, 2012 and October 1, 2014 valuation date. The October 1, 2010 valuation date was used to develop
results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, the October 1, 2012 valuation date was used to
develop results for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2013 and 2014.
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. The October 1, 2014 valuation date was used

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.
The date that taxes are due for all jurisdictions is October 1. Taxes for all jurisdictions become
delinquent on February 1. The penalty is set by state law at 6% in February, and an additional 1%
per month up to 12%. The interest is accrued at 1% per month.
The upper limit of the tax rate is set at $2.50/$100 of assessed value for each jurisdiction by State
Statute. This limit is for both operations and debt service combined.

Direct and Overlapping Governmental Activities Debt
As of September 30, 2016
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographical boundaries of the City. This
schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the
residents and businesses of College Station. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to
issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into
account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident and therefore responsible for repaying the
debt of each overlapping government.
a For debt repaid with property taxes, the percentage of overlapping debt is estimated using taxable assessed
property values. Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of another governmental unit's
taxable assessed value that is within the City's boundaries and dividing it by each unit's total assessed value.
