WKSHP061214Minutes Page 3
fracking a large number of oil wells in the area east of Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment
Plant. The operations may last two years. Staff has negotiated a proposed contract with
Apache to pay all costs to construct and operate a pump station adjacent to Carters Creek to
withdraw the effluent from the final basin of the treatment process and transport it to various
storage ponds constructed on private property. The City will provide three million gallons per
day, which can be increased to five if adequate surplus flow exists. Apache will pay $2.50 per
thousand gallons. This rate is estimated to result in approximately $5 million of Water Fund
revenue. The contract also requires Apache to obtain a permit from the TCEQ to transport and
use Type II Effluent, which has special treatment and handling requirements. He stated that
this contract will be an excellent revenue stream for the City, will promote economic growth

existing obligations for this water. He noted this is also on the agenda for action.

Citizen Comments
Christine Stetter, 8606 Amber Hill, provided written comments, attached.
Lynn Lawler, 2104 Spring Creek, provided written comments, attached.
RM061214 Minutes Page 2
Gary Halter, 1204 Ashburn, reported on the town hall meeting of the Former Mayors Committee
in April with almost 60 people in attendance. He noted there are a lot of angry people in the
City. The City is not doing enough to enforce neighborhood integrity, and City ordinances are
not being enforced. He also provided written comments, attached.
Katy Lane, 2810 Wilderness Drive, expressed her concern with having a Blinn campus in their
neighborhood, affecting traffic and neighborhood integrity. The online petition has gotten
almost 300 signatures. She asked the Council to advocate for the neighborhoods, and represent
the surrounding residents, and not alienate them.
Dan Severn, 578 John Kimbrough, did not speak, but provided a pamphlet to the Council.
Daniel Lench, 8728 Bent Tree Drive, President of the Emerald Forest HOA, spoke against the
Blinn acquisition of the Lynntech property. The neighborhood has concerns regarding the
increased traffic. The current infrastructure was not designed for 5,000+ students. The City will
be forced to subsidize infrastructure improvements. There are other attractive options available
to Blinn that will not negatively impact area neighborhoods.
Ben Roper, 5449 Prairie Dawn Court, came before Council to honor the service and sacrifice of
Chief Warrant Officer Scott Jamar.
Denise Snyder, 8404 Turtle Rock Loop, asked the Council to place quality of life before growth.
They will be unprecented traffic noise and congestion. Blinn has stated this is not a permanent
location. When Blinn leaves, they will be left with empty buildings. Bryan has already
expended millions for new infrastructure. She is also concerned with fracking in the area. They
are using valuable water. We need local regulations to be sure the effluent is stored safely, and
we need local regulations to safeguard our water supply. There is also a need for local air
monitors. She also supports lowering the speed limit on Earl Rudder Freeway to 65 mile per
hour.
Patrick Siegert, 1101 Guadalupe, noted that the City logo says “Home of Texas A&M
University”. That is the identity of College Station. This is not a neighborly thing for Blinn to
have done, and will never be. Bryan has provided the land and infrastructure for a permanent
campus home. He addressed the loss of revenue and noted this take a performing asset in
College Station and makes it a non-performing asset. He asked the City to rescind their support
for Blinn’s move and to encourage their move to Bryan.

changes to the rental registration ordinance. Following the discussion, Council directed staff to
make the changes contained in the attached ordinance.
RM061214 Minutes Page 7
At approximately 8:16 p.m., Mayor Berry opened the Public Hearing.
Donald Derickson, 6103 Canterbury Drive, representing the Bryan/College Station Apartment
Association, said they have four. First the association is in favor of the rental registration
program, but the way it is worded does not include all the properties it should. Secondly, they
are against having an affidavit; it is redundant by nature. Third, they agree that violators should
be prosecuted, but the City has not been able to enforce the code. They have never been able to
enforce it. Lastly, it is a violation of the Federal Privacy Act to release those lease agreements.
Jeff Claybrook, 903 Fairview, spoke on behalf of the Student Government Association. As he
understands it, the affidavit is simply a means of providing the definition of family. As that
pertains to students, they are concerned with cost and the convenience of living close to campus.
It is more affordable to split the cost of rent when there are more than four tenants. Restricting
number of renters will increase the cost of living and will hinder students from locating close to
campus. Five bedroom homes are being built now, so why should the limit be four. This will
make it more difficult for students to find houses. The survey did not get student input. They
conducted their own survey yesterday.
Paul Morris, 1511 Wayfarer, provided written comments.
Hugh Lindsay, 400 Walton Drive, recited several instances that have occurred in his
neighborhood. He was told the police could not ticket an illegally parked car it until it was
determined who the owner was. Code enforcement told him there was nothing they could do
even if it was confirmed there were more than four people other than writing a letter to the
landlord. However, he was cited for an infraction on his own property.
Lauren Felder, 806 Thomas, Communication Relations chair for the ASG. As a member of the
local community and as a student, she has seen a blatant disregard for the property leased by
students. She has also seen and had positive experiences with home owners. She supports the
ordinance if there are some modification to the leasing agreement. Students should not suffer all
the blame, but the current environment encourages it, e.g. five-bedroom homes and landlords
turning a blind eye to more than four tenants. She wants to work with the City and the students
and enforcement.
Patsy Deere, 1500 Frost, said she has several pieces of property in College Station. She has had
students asked to have five tenants, and she has declined. They had no idea there was a limit of
four. She has spoken with a property management company that offered to work around the
regulations in order to rent to five people.
Donald Deere, 1500 Frost, stated that as a rental property owner who abides by the current
ordinance, he is in favor of the strengthened ordinance. However, regarding the affidavit, he
can’t really swear there aren’t more than four tenants. He can swear to renting to four and
getting rent from four, but he can’t guarantee there is not a fifth person there. He also
recommended language that would say “present” rather than “provide”. He would also like to
amend it to say “reasonable information”. The other is too open ended.
Charles Wilding, 4912 Augusta Circle, owns a lot of properties. His first concern is regarding
the affidavit; he would like to have the tenant sign it with him. The pressure is being placed on
RM061214 Minutes Page 8
the owner and not on the tenants in any way. Secondly, he noted the annual registration fee is
$15 per property. He asked why does it need to be annually if there is not an ownership change.
He also noted that leases are a legal document between himself, the student, and the parents.
Sarah Norman, 2700 Earl Rudder Freeway, representing the Bryan/College Station Regional
Association of Realtors; she also owns rental property. The most important thing as a realtor is
understanding that without students, we would not be here. She does support quality
neighborhoods and quality of life for students. We need to enforce the ordinance and not require
additional regulations. There should be more education and more communication with owners
and students. It appears to be a lot of uncertainty about expanding the ordinance, and she asked
Council to table this until there is some direct decision on what needs to be done, how it will be
done, and the purpose of it being done.
Anne Jackson, 4343 Oaklake Drive, stated she follows the codes, and her lease covers a lot of the
enforcement the City is trying to do. She charges back to the renters for infractions. The City
needs to put more dollars into code enforcement. She asked Council to not make them fill out
more papers when they are doing it right.
Sherry Ellison, 2705 Woodway Drive, has some rental property. Some people do a good job, but
some don’t. As neighbors, they are concerned with living with this on a daily basis. There are
those who do not have a sense of responsibility. Owners are the ones responsible because they
are the ones who should initially ask if the tenants will be good tenants. Owners cannot just say
it is the renters fault.
Suzanne Droleskey, 1109 Ashburn Avenue, said she is living in an older established
neighborhood, and they are not anti-students, but are they are anti-bad neighbors. The code
enforcement officers do not have the teeth to enforce the codes. The City has been working on
this since 1994. It is important to pass this ordinance to give them the teeth they need. Most
tenants are law-abiding, but the laws are not written for the law-abiding.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 8:43 p.m.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Benham and a second by Councilmember
Aldrich, the City Council seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to table any action on this item,
and amended to table until the June 26 meeting. The motion carried unanimously.
Council provided direction to staff on recommended changes.
5. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a presentation related to an
overview and the associated potential economic impacts of oil and gas resource
development.
Chris Jarmon, Assistant to the City Manager, presented an overview of the drilling process and
the drilling activity the staff has observed. Most of the activity occurred in north Brazos County.
He also briefed the Council on potential revenue. To date, mineral royalties have been very
small. Revenues can also be realized though ad valorem taxes, but it was noted that mineral
values account for a little under 1% of our total net taxable value. The City will also gain
revenue through people with sales tax and HOT tax. The Texas Railroad Commission is the
RM061214 Minutes Page 9
primary regulatory agency, but they do not regulate things like traffic, noise, odor, scenic impact,
or zoning.
6. Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a tentative schedule for a 2015 bond
election and the creation of a citizen advisory committee.
Chuck Gilman, Deputy City Manager, reported that staff has developed a preliminary schedule
that must be completed before the bond election. The schedule includes activities, tasks, and
meetings with Council-appointed boards and commissions, and with the community-at-large.
There will be a final list of recommended projects for Council to consider before the ballot
language is adopted.
7. Adjournment.
MOTION: There being no further business, Mayor Berry adjourned the Regular Meeting of the
City Council at 10:10 p.m. on Thursday, June 12, 2014.

Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding award of a contract in the amount of
$192,832 to Avinext Inc., to upgrade cameras and other components of the video surveillance
security system at various Water Department facilities.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
··Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation: Staff recommends Council approve this contract award.
Summary: In the FY-14 Budget process, City Council approved a Service Level Adjustment for the
Water Services Department to replace outdated security cameras at various facilities. This proposed
contract will provide the following upgrades:
··Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant: 9 cameras, 2 servers, 1 storage device
··Lick Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant: 4 cameras, 1 server, 1 storage device
··Dowling Road Pump Station: 13 cameras, 1 server, 1 storage device
··Sandy Point Pump Station: 4 cameras, 1 server, 1 storage device
··Both Water Towers: SD cards for all existing cameras
··Wells 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7: SD cards for all existing cameras
··Well 8: 2 cameras
··Dispatch Center: 12 monitors in video wall configuration, and 1 server
The Water Services Department uses video surveillance as part of the multi-layered approach to
facility security. Several hardware components of the existing video system have failed, or are at the
end of their expected service life. This contract will replace most components of the system with new
generation cameras and storage drives that use digital communications. This will make the video

system easier to integrate into the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, and
provide easier to access to the facility cameras from a broader scope of work stations, including on-
call laptops, and Utility Dispatch. In summary, this contract will provide a surveillance system with
current technology equipment, and make it easier to integrate the new hardware into a more
manageable and accessible network and staff recommends approval.
The attached quote from Avinext is Pre-Competed, under the cooperative purchasing agreement with
Texas A&M University: Master Agreement M000552-AV and Master Agreement M100299-IT.

Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of Change Order # 1 to NextGen Parking
Maintenance Agreement 12-036
Summary:
This change order to maintenance agreement 12-036 with NextGen Parking,formerly
ProTech Access,would allow for a necessary upgrade of equipment in the Northgate
Parking Garage to maintain Payment Card Industry -Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)
compliance.ScanNet is the system that currently operates the entry/exit equipment
and payment equipment in the Northgate Parking Garage and it runs on the Windows XP
operating platform,which is no longer supported by Mircosoft.As a result,revenue
controls systems running on Windows XP will fail to meet PCI-DSS requirements for
credit card acceptance.
In order to maintain PCI compliance,NextGen provided three options for consideration
to address the issue with the ScanNet system.Northgate District staff worked with IT
staff to assess the three options and determine the best solution for the long-term
operation of the garage.It was determined that replacing the ScanNet system with the

operation of the garage.It was determined that replacing the ScanNet system with the
3M Enterprise Facility Management System (EFM)would be the most efficient and
economical solution for the future.
In order to install EFM,entry/exit equipment and payment equipment will require
upgrades that are included in the change order.The system upgrade will take
approximately 4 weeks and is expected to be complete prior to August and the new
school year.
Budget & Financial Summary:
Funds budgeted in FY 2014 for non-parking related improvements have been delayed to
ensure adequate funding in the Northgate District budget for this unanticipated upgrade.

··Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment.
Summary: During the planning process of the South Knoll Area Neighborhood Plan
completed last Fall and approved by the City Council in September 2013, area residents
and property owners identified streets with heavy on-street parking. The Fire
Department was asked to evaluate these streets to determine if an emergency vehicle
could maneuver through these areas under the existing on-street parking conditions.
The evaluation occurred in February 2013 and resulted in a recommendation to remove
parking on the bends of these two streets only.
The recommendation was discussed at the next meeting of the Traffic Management
Team, which agreed with the recommendation from the Fire Department.
In May of 2014, a public meeting was held with the property owners and residents living
College Station, TX Printed on 6/20/2014Page 1 of 2

File #:14-525,Version:1
adjacent to the areas where the on-street parking was being removed. The residents
were included at this meeting to be consistent with the public meetings that were held
during the development of the South Knoll Area Neighborhood Plan. Seven individuals
attended the meeting out of the 26 citizens that were contacted. All of the citizens in
attendance supported the plan and were thankful that these problems were being
addressed.
Budget & Financial Summary: The “NO PARKING” signs are planned operation and
maintenance expenses accounted for in the Public Works Traffic Operation budget.

Relationship to Strategic Goals:Financially Sustainable City Providing Response to Core

Recommendation(s):Staff is recommending ratification of expenditures for FY 13 with
Express Services in the amount of $68,164.26, for FY14 to-date with Express Services in the
amount of $37,256.50, and for FY14 to-date with Spherion Staffing in the amount of

of $15,000.00 and Spherion Staffing for $15,000.00.
Summary:From time to time, for continued City operations, it is necessary to retain temporary
employment services. These service(s) allow City departments to fill short term vacancies with
temporary employees. In some cases, when in the best interest of the City, we may choose to
hire these employees as full time employees. This temp-to-perm option is beneficial in some
cases as it gives both employer and employee an opportunity to see if the permanent
relationship would be mutually agreeable. This is especially true in our Utility Customer Service
- Meter Services Division where there is a high turnover rate.
Staff spent several months restructuring the last request for proposal we issued jointly with the
City of Bryan. New proposals were received and opened on February 14, 2014 with all
proposals making exceptions to our terms and conditions. Staff has been evaluating the
responses, conducting reference checks and considering the exceptions noted. Staff will be

Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding approval of a contingency transfer in the
amount of $47,000 for the outfitting and renovation of Police Department office space in Northgate.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
1.Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation:Staff recommends approval of a contingency transfer in the amount of $47,000
for the outfitting and renovation of Police Department office space in Northgate.
Summary:During the budget process for FY14, funding was acquired for a Northgate area police
office. The office space was acquired through a lease agreement with St. Mary’s church. The
Northgate office will be utilized by a full time Northgate unit of eight officers and a Sergeant who use
bicycles as their primary mode of transportation. The larger office will provide a storage and
mechanical area for their bicycles that is separate from the rest of the office. It will further provide an
office area for the bike officers to have adequate workstations and a roundtable discussion area. In
addition, the larger office will offer the Sergeant an independent office to better facilitate supervision
of the unit. The expanded area will further provide an adequate area for group training, community
meetings and shift briefings. In addition to these benefits, the office will be made available to all the
officers working in the North part of the city to better facilitate efficiency of operations.
The original FY14 budget request was developed through a verbal agreement with the church for the
use of 600 square foot of space. As the negotiations continued after the budget was acquired, the
church agreed to lease the Police Department 2200 square foot of space. The budget approved in
FY14 for the renovation and outfitting of the space was based on the estimate of 600 square feet.
Additional budget is needed at this time to outfit and renovate the additional space offered by St.
Mary’s.
