Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends City Council receive the presentation from representatives of the Aggies Go to War task force. Summary: Later this year the Bastogne War Museum in Belgium will open to the public and allow visitors to better understand the Second World War and more specifically the Battle of the Bulge. To commemorate this event, the Texas A&M University System and Bryan/College Station community have been invited to participate in the creation of an exhibit highlighting the contribution made by Aggies at the Battle of the Bulge. The exhibit concept would follow the life path of five young Americans from Texas A&M University who were involved in the Battle of the Bulge. Visitors would observe these Aggies in a prewar America, understand their preparations for the front, appreciate their actions taken during the Second World War, and finally reflect on their lives following the war. The exhibit would also market the university and community to an international audience as one of seven rooms being considered for the exhibit. The Bastogne War Museum would host a grand opening of the exhibit in addition to a joint commemoration of the Battle of the Bulge during December 13-21, 2014. The exhibit would be on display at the museum for the following two years and then be available for permanent display as a local community attraction beginning December 2016. Budget & Financial Summary: The development cost associated with the entire exhibit is approximately $1,500,000. Of that amount, $750,000 will be funded by Belgium and the remaining $750,000 is being asked from university and community stakeholders. Texas A&M University has committed $375,000 and the Research Valley Partnership has committed $50,000. City Council is being asked to fund $225,000. The City of Bryan would fund the remaining $100,000 and received a similar presentation at its February 11th City Council meeting. As part of tonight’s budget amendment, City Council will be given the opportunity to appropriate the funding from the Hotel Tax Fund. Future exhibit housing in Bryan/College Station has not yet been determined.

Relationship to Strategic Goals: Core Services and Infrastructure; Diverse Growing Economy Recommendation: None, for information only. Summary: Water supply is a critical issue for the City, and as growth continues, the capacity of our water system must keep ahead of development. The Water Services Department estimates our future water demands by tracking the growth patterns in our Water Service area and projecting that growth to determine our most likely water demands in future decades. Water Services also considers the demand reductions likely to be achieved through an aggressive water conservation program. Our current permitted annual capacity is projected to be adequate for the foreseeable future, since it exceeds our projected needs at the Build-out of the water service area. Our current peak-day capacity is projected to be adequate for another five years, and the construction of Well 9 is programmed in the CIP to match this timeline. The need to construct Well 10 will depend on the level success achieved through water conservation and re-use. The water needs of College Station are well documented in the State Water Plan. The Water Services Dept. participates in the Regional water planning process to ensure the Regional plan is as accurate as possible, for inclusion into the State Plan. We are also participating in the process to prioritize all the water supply projects identified in the State Water Plan, as required by HB 4, which sets up the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas (SWIFT).
