Mr. Gilman,
The City of College Station executed an Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation
on April 15, 2004 to participate in 10% of the cost of the land acquisition and adjustment of utilities
on the FM 2154 widening project from FM 2818 to SH 40. Over time, the City has contributed a
total of $928,381.18 toward its participation in this endeavor. I have attached a breakdown of
costs that have been incurred to date. As you can see, the total cost attributable to the City is
$972,476.02. The City currently owes the State $44,094.84. There are two utilities (City of College
Station –Water and BTU – Electric) that cost are not yet finalized and the amount the City owes will
increase when these bills are received and paid.
In order to keep your account up to date, we need for the City of College Station to remit the
$44,094.84 as soon as possible. Your check should be made payable to the “Texas Department of
Transportation”. Please respond back to me for when we can expect the payment.
If you should have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

Quitclaim for TXDoT Reimbursement
To: Kathy Merrill, Interim City Manager
From: David Coleman, P.E., Director of Water Services
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Quitclaim
Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for easements that were
acquired for widening Wellborn Road.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
1. Core Services and Infrastructure
2. Fiscal Responsibility
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this quitclaim.
Summary: To accommodate the most recent widening of Wellborn Road (FM
2154), the City had to relocate a major water line that was in a City easement
along Wellborn Road. The line was relocated to the west side of the Union Pacific
Railroad tracks, and by prior agreement, TXDoT will reimburse the City’s cost for
relocating the water line. We completed construction in May 2012, and since then
have been working with TXDoT to provide the documentation needed to receive
final payment.
TXDoT has requested a quitclaim agreement for the parcels that TXDoT acquired
containing the old City easement. These old easement areas contain no City
Utilities, except for permitted crossings, which will remain permitted and unaffected
by the quitclaim. Since this quitclaim will not impact present nor future utility
operations, and it is required for reimbursement from TXDoT, staff recommends
approval.
Budget & Financial Summary: TXDoT has already paid approximately 2.4 million
dollars under a previous reimbursement request and will pay an additional
approximately 1.2 million dollars upon completion, approval, and execution of this
quitclaim agreement and submission of the City’s final reimbursement request.

Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal I.1. Spending taxpayer money efficiently

Consulting Services for Discharge Permit Renewals

From: Dave Coleman, P.E., Water Services Director
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Professional Services
Contract number 13-237 with Alan Plummer Associates, Inc., in the amount of $75,000 to
prepare renewal applications for our three wastewater discharge permits.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal I, Financially Sustainable City Providing Response
to Core Services and Infrastructure.
Recommendation: Approval.
Summary: Every five years, our three wastewater discharge permits must be renewed
with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Renewal application
packages are due to TCEQ on November 1, 2013 which is six months before the existing
permits expire, as required by regulations.
Staff recommends we contract with Alan Plummer Associates, Inc. (APAI) to prepare these
application packages, because APAI has already completed a preliminary stream quality
study and review of current and upcoming TCEQ regulations. We expect that TCEQ will be
implementing new restrictions in the near future on the discharge of nutrients such as
phosphorous and nitrogen, which will have a significant impact on our wastewater treatment
infrastructure. Our goal with APAI is to anticipate these changes, and incorporate any new
restrictions within our plan for expanding the wastewater treatment plant capacity, which
will save millions of dollars of infrastructure modification costs.
For these reasons, staff recommends approval of the consulting contract with APAI.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds are budgeted and available in the Wastewater
Operating Fund.

standard funding or payment arrangement under 43 TAC §15.52, the budget in Attachment
C will clearly state the amount of the fixed price or the incremental payment schedule.
M. If the Local government is an Economically Disadvantaged County and if the State has
approved adjustments to the standard financing arrangement, this agreement reflects those
adjustments.
N. The state auditor may conduct an audit or investigation of any entity receiving funds from
the State directly under this contract or indirectly through a subcontract under this contract.
Acceptance of funds directly under this contract or indirectly through a subcontract under
this contract acts as acceptance of the authority of the state auditor, under the direction of
the legislative audit committee, to conduct an audit or investigation in connection with those
funds. An entity that is the subject of an audit or investigation must provide the state

Local Agreement Between the City of College Station, Brazos County, and the
Brazos County District Attorney’s Office Regarding the Disposition of Forfeited
Contraband.
To: Kathy Merrill, Interim City Manager
From: Jeff Capps, Chief of Police
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the approval of a
local agreement between the City of College Station, Brazos County, and the Brazos County
District Attorney’s Office regarding the disposition of forfeited contraband seized under
Chapter 59 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
1. Financially Sustainable City
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends Council approval.
Summary: Chapter 59 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure provides for the forfeiture
to the State of Texas of property found to be “contraband” as defined by Chapter 59 of the
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. During the forfeiture proceedings, the District Attorney
of Brazos County represents the State of Texas and extra staff is necessary to process the
paperwork.
Due to this, the attached agreement between the City of College Station, Brazos County,
and the District Attorney of Brazos County states that upon forfeiture of seized currency or
the sale of other seized property, 25% of the final sum forfeited shall be retained by the
District Attorney’s Office to be used for the official purposes of his office. An additional 25%
shall be retained by the District Attorney’s Office to pay the salary of the legal secretary
working forfeiture cases with a limit of $10,000 per year. The remaining 50% of all
proceeds of real estate and property sales and money shall be retained by the City to be
solely used for law enforcement purposes.
Once the $10,000 limit for the legal secretary’s salary has been reached, the 25% shall
revert to the City, bringing the City’s share to 75%.
Budget & Financial Summary: The annual financial impact varies dependent upon the
amount of property or monies awarded during the year. All awarded monies are placed in a
separate account to ensure funds are spent in accordance with the law.

From: David Coleman, P.E., Director of Water Services
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Professional
Services Contract with Dunham Engineering Inc., in the amount of $50,000 for
engineering services for the rehabilitation of our 5 Million Gallon Ground Storage
Reservoir.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
1. Core Services and Infrastructure
2. Fiscal Responsibility
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this Contract.
Summary: College Station’s water system includes two Ground Storage
Reservoirs that receive water from the well field and provide chlorine contact time
as per TCEQ rules, prior to the water being pumped into our distribution system for
our customers. The 3 MG tank was rehabilitated last winter. Rehabilitation of the
5 MG GSR is necessary to ensure continued redundancy, continue to meet TCEQ
rules and maximize the service life of this tank.
Improvements in the well field and transmission line have increased the potential
flow rate into this tank and modifications need to be made to accommodate the
higher flow rate. This contract will provide the engineering services for this work.
In addition, the interior coating has exceeded its service life. This contract will also
provide the engineering and construction inspection services for replacing the
interior coating.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds for this contract are budgeted and
available in the Water Capital Projects Fund. The construction work is programmed
to take place after October 1st
, so construction funds are programmed for FY 14.
The project budget is $650,000, none of which has been spent or encumbered to
date.

Front End Loader (FEL) Container Lease Amendment #1
To: Kathy Merrill, Interim City Manager
From: Chuck Gilman, P.E., PMP, Public Works Director
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on Amendment #1 to the
Front End Loader (FEL) Container Lease Agreement with Texas Commercial Waste, and a
one-time increase of $30,568.00 to the existing lease purchase order.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
1. Financially Sustainable City
2. Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends the approval of the amendment.
Summary: This lease agreement amendment will accomplish the following:
• Add the roll off compactor units located in the Northgate District to the existing lease
agreement;
• Allow the number of units in the lease agreement to be modified by change order in
lieu of a lease amendment, if there is a future need; and
• Increase the existing lease purchase order by $30,568.00 to cover the cost of
compactors in the Northgate District and FY 2012 invoices received in FY 2013.
In 1998 the city provided a roll off compactor in the Northgate Business District and added
an additional unit in 2006. The Northgate compactors are located in the promenade area
and serve the businesses in a two block area of the district. In years past, these compactors
were paid under a separate Purchase Order from the FEL Containers. Staff prefers to have
the compactors in the same lease agreement with the FEL containers. The annual
expenditure for the roll-off compactors is $12,660.
The current lease agreement requires a formal amendment to add containers. In an effort
to improve operational efficiency and flexibility, staff recommends that the lease agreement
allow for additional containers through a change order which can be approved by staff,
rather than a lease agreement amendment.
In 2012 Public Works completed an audit of the commercial sanitation containers under
lease. This audit revealed some errors in billing, and as a result, several invoices from FY
2012 were not received until FY 2013. Therefore, we do not currently have funds on the FY
2013 purchase order to cover all of the FY 2013 forecasted expenses, and the invoices
received in early 2013 from FY 2012. The additional funds needed to cover FEL container
lease invoices is $17,908.
Therefore, staff is requesting a one-time increase of $30,568.00 to be added to the existing
purchase order to in order to pay for the remaining lease invoices for this purchase order
year and add the compactors to the lease agreement.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds are budgeted and available in the Sanitation
Enterprise Fund.

City of College Station and CVB Funding Agreement for Preferred Access to TAMU
Facilities; and Assignment and Assumption Agreement with City of College Station,
CVB, and TAMU
To: Kathy Merrill, Interim City Manager
From: Jeff Kersten, Executive Director Business Services
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action and discussion on a Funding Agreement
between the City of College Station and the Brazos Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau
for Preferred Access to Texas A&M University facilities; and an Assignment and Assumption
agreement between the City of College Station, Texas A&M University, and the Brazos
Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the agreements.
Summary: This item was presented at the June 27 City Council Meeting. At that time the
City Council voted to delay action on these agreements until the July 11 meeting. At that
meeting the presentation was made and discussion was had with the City Council, staff and
representatives of the CVB on the item.
As part of the effort to pay for the renovation of Kyle Field, Texas A&M University and the
City of College Station, the Convention and Visitors Bureau and Brazos County have been
working on securing local funding through the Hotel Occupancy Tax for this project through
agreements that will provide access to facilities at Texas A&M University at preferred rates
for events that will bring more visitors and tourists to the community.
The following are the agreements that will need to be executed.
1. Preferred Facilities Access Agreement between Texas A&M University and CVB.
2. Funding Agreement for the County 0.75% Hotel Tax between Brazos County and
Texas A&M University.
3. Funding Agreement for the payment of City of College Station Hotel Tax for the
Preferred Access Agreement between City of College Station and CVB.
4. Assignment and Assumption Agreement between City of College Station, Texas A&M
University and CVB.
Budget & Financial Summary:
The public funds for this project will come from Hotel Occupancy Tax collected from
visitors to the community.
A 0.75% Countywide Hotel Occupancy Tax was approved by the State Legislature and
signed by the Governor for this project. All hotel visitors in Brazos County will pay this
tax. This source is estimated to generate at least $22 million over the next 30
years.
92
Also, a portion of the current City of College Station Hotel Occupancy tax from visitors who
stay at College Station hotels will be utilized through a Facilities Access Agreement for
access to certain facilities at preferred rates at Texas A&M University. This source is
estimated to generate $14 million over the next 30 years.
Between the County Hotel Tax and the City of College Station Hotel Tax provided through
the Facilities Access Agreement; a minimum of $36,000,000 will be provided over a 30 year
period to Texas A&M University.
According to Texas A&M University, the budget for the Kyle Field renovation project is
$450,000,000. Of this amount, $18,150,000 is proposed to be financed from the proceeds
generated through the payments made per the Preferred Facilities Access Agreement and
associated agreements. The estimated annual debt service on this amount is $1,199,625.
Over a 30 year period this totals just under $36,000,000.
Hotel Occupancy Tax revenues from visitors is the only source of funding for these
agreements.

Agenda Caption: Presentation and discussion regarding the proposed Community Development FY 2014 (PY 2013)
Action Plan and Budget.
Relationship to Council Strategic Plan: Financially Sustainable City, Core Services and Infrastructure, Neighborhood
Integrity, and Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Review the proposed FY 2014 (PY 2013) Action Plan and Budget and provide any feedback and/or
direction as desired.
Summary: Staff will present a proposed Action Plan and Budget for FY 2014 (PY 2013). Included in the Plan are goals,
objectives and funding recommendations for projects and programs. Each year, the City is required to submit to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) a one year Action Plan describing projects and activities to be
funded with the community development grants received. Action Plan activities must correspond to the 5-Year
Consolidated Plan.
HUD requires that the Action Plan and Budget be delivered by August 16, 2013, therefore these are presented prior to
the Council’s consideration of the overall City budget. The new grant amounts available for PY 2013 includes $1,028,957
in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $379,327 in HOME Investment Partnership Grant (HOME)
funds. The budget includes previously programmed but unspent grant funds from current years in the amount of
$1,374,393 in CDBG and $1,283,203 in HOME, in addition to expected program income in the amount of $29,763 to be
received from reconstruction loans executed in previous years.
CDBG and HOME funds may only be used to: (1) benefit low- and moderate-income persons; (2) aid in the elimination of
slum and blighting influences, and/or; (3) meet a particular urgent need. Further, CDBG funds may be used to meet
local needs through a wide range of community development activities, while HOME funds may only be used for
affordable housing activities.
The proposed plans and budget were developed using input received from a series of public hearings, program
committee meetings, and citizen input. The goals and objectives in the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan were followed in
preparing this year’s Plan. These goals and objectives were prepared to meet the specific needs of lower-income
citizens, and to provide support for families working towards self-sufficiency and are now being presented to Council for
discussion and input. Staff will return to Council at the August 8th meeting to make available its final draft of the Action
Plan, Budget and to request approval.
Historically, the City has utilized these funds for a variety of programs and activities, including: affordable housing
programs (homebuyer assistance, security deposit assistance, rehabilitation, new construction, and minor repairs);
funding of direct services to low-income families; demolition; and park, street, infrastructure and public facility
improvement in low-income areas of the city.
Budget & Financial Summary: See attached financial summaries for the proposed FY 2014 Budget for CDBG and HOME
funds. Staff will be prepared to answer questions regarding the proposed plans and/or budget
