1. Call to Order and Announce a Quorum is Present
With a quorum present, the Workshop of the College Station City Council was called to order by
Mayor Berry at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 11, 2016 in the Council Chambers of the City
of College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Avenue, College Station, Texas 77840.
2. Executive Session
In accordance with the Texas Government Code §551.071-Consultation with Attorney, and
§551.086-Competitive Matters, the College Station City Council convened into Executive
Session at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 11, 2016 in order to continue discussing matters
pertaining to:
A. Consultation with Attorney to seek advice regarding pending or contemplated litigation; to
wit:

Court of Brazos County, Texas

Power Supply
The Executive Session adjourned at 5:10 p.m.
3. Take action, if any, on Executive Session.
There was no action required from Executive Session.
4. Presentation, possible action, and discussion on items listed on the consent agenda.
Items 2d and 2e were pulled for clarification.
(2d): Alison Pond, Director of Human Resources, stated that $7.3 million is in the fund balance.
This is not typical; there were unusually high claims in November and December.
(2e): Donald Harmon, Director of Public Works, clarified there is a contingency of
approximately $200,000. The unexpended balance is $2.365million.
5. Presentation, possible action, and discussion by the Convention and Visitor's Bureau of
Huddle Up Group's Report on the current and future of the Sports Tourism Industry in
the Bryan-College Station area.
Shannon Overby, President/CEO, introduced the Huddle Up Group representative, Jon
Schmieder, who reported on the current sports tourism and the future of the sports tourism
industry in the Bryan-College Station area. 32 interviews were conducted, and 21 venues were
toured. Branding is key. A stand-alone sports commission is not a good idea in Bryan-College
Station. It is not just bed tax collections, it’s the overall economic activity that we are shooting
for; the best cities take into account the total activity. He recommended a sports “marketing”
model versus a sports “tourism” focus, which includes events along with sports. Access to A&M
needs to improve. He presented a 5-year strategic mission with three pillars: bid events,
created/owned events, and community engagement.
6. Presentation, possible action, and discussion of proposed Community Development
Block Grant Economic Development Program Guidelines.
Natalie Ruiz, Director of Economic Development, reported that the City’s CDBG funds can be
used to carry out a wide variety of economic development activities with the purpose of
providing employment opportunities for low and moderate income people. She provided local
examples of how CDBG funds have been used for economic development, such as the Cooner
Street rehabilitation and the Northgate entertainment district. The proposed CDBG Economic
Development Program Guidelines have been developed to meet the requirements of the grant,
WKSHP021116 Minutes Page 3
provide a versatile tool to be used by the City's Economic Development staff to further the City's
economic development goals, and encourage the creation of jobs.
7. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an update of compensation
strategy and work.
Kelly Templin, City Manager, reported that he has been working with the Human Resources
Director to review market data, look at compensation strategy, and define future priorities for
attracting, retaining, and engaging high performing employees. Future success will involve a
pay structure movement, retention strategies for high performers, and remaining adaptable to
market and recruitment impacts. Discussion for the FY17 budget will include funding for
additional adjustments to align positions to the market, funding for movement of the pay
structure, and funding for the merit increase pool.
8. Council Calendar
Council reviewed the calendar.
9. Presentation, possible action, and discussion on future agenda items: a Councilmember
may inquire about a subject for which notice has not been given. A statement of specific
factual information or the recitation of existing policy may be given. Any deliberation shall
be limited to a proposal to place the subject on an agenda for a subsequent meeting.

3745 Budget Amendment #1, amending Ordinance No. 3705 which will amend the budget for
the 2015-2016 Fiscal Year in the amount of $3,048,226 and the contingency transfers totaling
$188,500. The motion carried unanimously.
2. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance 2016-
3746, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official
Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by amending
the existing PDD Planned Development District and related Concept Plan for
approximately 19.74 acres being out of the Robert Stevenson Survey, A-54 Brazos County,
Texas, also being part of the 20.4821 acres tract of land owned by Greens Prairie Investors
LTD, as recorded in Volume 7366, Page 294 of the Official Records of Brazos County,
generally located at 529
William D Fitch Parkway, more generally located at the northeast corner of William D.
Fitch Parkway and Victoria Avenue.
This item was taken out of order and followed item #6.
Councilmember Schultz recused herself from this item.
Mark Bombeck, Planning and Development, stated the applicant is requesting to amend the
current Planned Development District to remove Office from the list of approved uses on the
property. The applicant is also requesting to amend the associated Concept Plan to reduce the
number of proposed buildings for a General Commercial use and increase the number of Multi-
Family structures. The PDD uses a base zoning district of Multi-Family and General
Commercial.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their January 21 meeting and
voted 5-0-1 to recommend approval.
The developer, Wallace Phillips, said his vision is that this would be an addition to the Master
Planned community of Castle Rock. He clarified the drainage modifications so that the drainage
would flow away from Castle Rock. As for buffering, he clarified that the units will not exceed
three stories. He noted that the development is north of Castle Rock, and he does not anticipate
any traffic impact to Castle Rock.
At approximately 7:52 p.m., Mayor Berry opened the Public Hearing.
Jennifer Hurd, 4256 Rocky Rhodes, HOA president, read the petition that has been circulated,
attached. 363 people have signed the petition. 90% are Castle Rock residents; the others are
supporters of the neighborhood.
Christi Blair, 4107 Rocky Creek, said the number of units is still up for debate; she has not been
given a straight answer. In 2010, Castle Rock was less than one-third built out and controlled by
the developer. There is not enough land for hundreds of units. This version is vastly differen t
from the original vision,
RM021116 Minutes Page 4
Tom Kiske, 4213 Rocky Creek Trail, said he hoped that Council had received his report that
detailed the residents’ concerns: 55’ tall apartments, quadrupled run-off into an overburdened
creek, traffic endangering the children, and irreparable environmental damage from the
construction.
Jimmy Smith, 4222 Rock Bend, stated that he was aware of commercial development when he
purchased his home. However, he now has some concerns regarding this development,
specifically traffic and the elimination of the buffering requirements. He is opposed to this
project as submitted.
Barbara Heath, 4236 Rocky Rhodes, she bought her home in 2008. She brought a map that was
given to her by the realtor. She was told of possible development in the future. However, she
was never informed there would be a multi-family development so close to the neighborhood.
Joseph Palmer, 4112 Rocky Mountain, said the residents will bear the cost of this community
with no benefits. He asked that Council restrict ingress/egress to the development via the
parkway.
Lori Ross, 4281 Rock Bend, quoted Mr. Philips’ assertion that traffic will be reduced with the
removal of offices from the development and disagreed. This is not the image that was initially
presented. There has to be a better than using the main entrance as an access point.
Andrew Middleton, 4114 Rocky Mountain Court, spoke about the neighborhood integrity as it is
described in the Comprehensive Plan. The 2010 PDD had a fair balance of commercial, multi-
family, and office. The key value of College Station should be upheld. Development cannot take
place without consideration of the adjacent interests.
Joseph Sorg, 4104 Rocky Mountain Court, spoke of his concerns about his children and the
amount of traffic that will be generated by this development. The increased units will i ncrease
traffic, especially on the weekends.
Lori Enzar, 4113 Rocky Mountain Court, agreed with previous speakers. She is also concerned
with the traffic signal planned for Victoria. Those residents will come through the neighborhood
to avoid the light.
Maria Lyons, 4108 Rocky Oak Court, referenced Chapter 3 of the Comp Plan and stated this is
not in line with the City growth plan.
Joe Guerra, 2079 Ravenstone Loop, said he was in support of the residents of Castle Rock. He
said the TIA shows that at buildout, the traffic would be at capacity. The traffic concerns of the
residents are valid. He suggested combining the tract with one to the north.
Amy Arredondo, 4258 Rocky Rhodes, thanked Council for their response to her email. Her
concerns are the traffic safety and environmental issues. The neighborhood has an intimate feel.
There is no guarantee that the multi-family units will not become student housing. Her daughter
enjoys riding her bike around the neighborhood, but they may have to reconsid er allowing her to
do so.
RM021116 Minutes Page 5
Walter Truett, 4322 Rock Bend, said there are no other single-family neighborhoods tied to
multi-family development like this. He asked Council to consider why people want to live in
south College Station. Is it because it does not have an urban look?
Jordan Lehmann, 4298 Rock Bend, said there was no marketing or advertising that this was
going to take place. She is also concerned with traffic and safety. Congested entrances will be
frustrating to working residents.
Joshua Benn, 4000 Rocky Vista, if this ordinance is approved, he urged Council to include the
gate that has been mentioned and restrict the height of the units. What is being presented here is
not consistent with what was approved in 2010. This is not a PDD b y definition. It is not
innovative and does not demonstrate any community benefit to Castle Rock.
Misti Chapman, 4262 Hollow Stone, has been a resident since 2009 and was not aware of this
development until recently. She addressed inadequate parking which will overflow onto Castle
Rock Parkway and resulting in decreased visibility.
Ramsey Cripe, 4264 Rocky Rhodes, stated he was in agreement with all that has been said.
Casey Middleton, 4114 Rocky Mountain Court, spoke in opposition to the re-zoning. As a
mother, she wants to protect her children; as a homeowner, she wants to protect her investment;
as a member of the community, she wants to protect the neighborhood integrity.
Rachel Wright, 4310 Rock Bend, said she agreed with all that has been said.
Shala Coke, 4115 Rocky Mountain Court, noted that the applicant said this is a Class-A
development and too far south for students. However, she noted that within two-three miles
there are luxury student apartments.
Jeff Block, 4113 Deep Stone Court, said the TIA is based on a path of least resistance. Castle
Rock Parkway is the path of least resistance.
Todd Emerson, 4241 Rocky Rhodes, did not come forward.
Belinda Newman, 4290 Rock Bend, said it is disconcerting to hear so many different things
about whether there was to be a development or not. If she had known about this, she would not
have bought there. She is disappointed that the vision is changing drastically.
Marlyn Martinez Jones, 4285 Hollow Stone, provided a copy of the petition to the Council.
When they purchased in 2011, they were not made aware of the development. She is deeply
concerned about the safety of her neighborhood. She asked for Council to delay this until a
solution can be found.
Carmen Gomez, 4201 Rocky Creek Trail, did not come forward.
RM021116 Minutes Page 6
Richard Atwood, 4225 Little Rock Court, noted that the applicant said he would put in a gate on
Castle Rock Parkway.
Wallace Phillips, 4492 Castlegate, said he had already spoken as the developer.
Cory Corrier, 4100 Rocky Briar, asked that there be no flow through traffic to the development.
The community is intimate, small, and safe. With this new development, traffic will increase
and place his kids’ lives at risk.
Carrie McNicol, 4108 Deep Stone, asked Council to consider alternative safety measures, such
as providing gated community access, controlled access for Castle Rock amenities, speed bumps,
fencing the park, widen the apartment entrance to make it a more likely route, and provide
adequate parking.
Jeremy Osborne, 4240 Rock Bend, provided written comments, attached, and spoke.
Cheryl Wenck, 8703 Chippendale, said she is in favor of diversity in south College Station and
referenced the school district boundaries.
Laura Cook, 4270 Rocky Rhodes, said College Station is God’s country. The applicant agreeing
to put the gate at the “road to nowhere” means so much to her. Mr. Phillips is a good neighbor
who is willing to work with his neighbors.
Caleb Coke, 4115 Rocky Mountain Court, said that he and his friends walk to the bus stop every
day. This development will increase the traffic and make it dangerous for him and his friends.
Veronica Morgan, 3204 Earl Rudder Frwy, representing the adjoining tract to the north. They
are concerned this does not affect their tract, and they also would like to see the road alignment
changed to honor the old alignment.
Joe Schultz, Schultz Engineering, addressed Ms. Morgan’s comments saying they are willing to
work with Ms. Morgan and her client regarding the road alignment. He also noted that the person
that spoke on the TIA earlier was the same person that reviewed the TIA originally.
Wayne Beckermann, Vice President of Municipal Affairs, stated that the presence of students
does not degrade neighborhood integrity. He noted that the children talked about tonight will
one day grow up and go to a university.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 9:05 p.m.
The meeting was recessed at 9:05 p.m.
The meeting reconvened at 9:15 p.m.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Benham and a second by Councilmember
Brick, the City Council voted five (5) for and one (1) opposed, with Councilmember Aldrich

motion carried.

3. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance 2016-
3747, amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from
Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved to Urban for approximately 11 acres
located at 1700 Graham Road, more generally located near the southwest corner of
Graham Road and Longmire Drive.
Jessica Bullock, Planning and Development, stated the applicant has requested the proposed
amendment to Urban from Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved as a step toward
permitting a multi-family development on approximately 11 acres located at the southwest
corner of Graham Road and Longmire Drive.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their January 21 meeting and
voted 5-0-1 to recommend approval. Staff is recommending denial.
Veronica Morgan, Mitchell & Morgan Engineering, said they want to modify the property from
Suburban Commercial to Urban, She provided a concept plan showing access to the property,
building layout, and proximity to other properties. The product is geared to non -student housing
with one and two bedroom apartments. There will be a privately owned open space available to
the public. There will be at least a 15’ buffer yard. College Station lacks this type of housing,
and interested renters have to go to Bryan. The applicant is willing to put in the dollars to
address wastewater capacity.
At approximately 10:24 p.m., Mayor Berry opened the Public Hearing.
Yuan Dai, 921 Dove Run Trail, spoke against the project. She referenced the applicant’s
assertion that there was a lack she lack housing for young professionals. She noted that the
neighboring subdivisions are populated with young professionals and the backbone of the current
neighborhoods.
Jennifer Allcorn, 931 Emerald Dove, said the Dove Crossing neighborhood will be adversely
affected by this development. A petition was circulated and signed by most of the residents of
Dove Crossing. The new development will overcrowd and impact the existing schools.
Tommy Woodard, 1117 White Dove, Trail, said traffic will increase and crime will also increase.
This is a family area; leave it as it is.
Philip Pearce, 3718 Bridle Trails Court, said he is opposed to this for the same reasons already
stated. This will be detrimental to property values. People made an investment in their homes
based on the premise that the zoning would be as it was.
Lucille Tolson, 3299 FM 147, said she is one of the owners of the property. She owes $10,000
per acre for a paving lien. She cannot pay the lien without selling the land, but cannot sell the
land without the City’s permission. She cannot forever subsidize that lovely open space. There
are really nice people that live in apartments. She asked Council to allow the sale of this land.
Joshua (Shuhua) Yuan, 921 Dove Run Trail, said he would be happy with a single-family
neighborhood there. The P&Z passed this unanimously. He voiced concern about a possible
RM021116 Minutes Page 8
conflict of interest with some members on the P&Z. We have a Comprehensive Plan, and it
needs to be protected.
Sarah Franke, 3702 Bridle Trails, provided written comments, attached, and spoke about the
petition circulated throughout the neighborhoods. She supports Suburban Commercial for the
property, and the Comp Plan was put into place for a reason. With an urban development, traffic
will create a burden. She asked that Council uphold the current zoning and the Comprehensive
Plan.
Patrick Ray, 3706 Bridle Court, said his primary concerns is the block of neighborhood from
Graham to Barron Road. Why would anyone want to degrade that with multi -family housing?
The tax burden is too great, ab that is a problem, but not the problem of the neighborhoods.
Carlos Obando, 922 Dove Run Trail, did not come forward.
Amanda Dotson, 3708 Bridle Trails, said she was in support of the Suburban Commercial
zoning. The applicant did not meet with the neighborhood to discuss what was being considered.
She is concerned that the neighboring property could be a phase two, and that the PDD could
come back for amendments. With all the recently approved multi -housing projects in the area,
she is concerned that the City is creating a rental corridor.
Charles Gandy, 1737 Briarcrest, said they never opted out of the medical district; they wanted in.
When it became Suburban Commercial, they never received any interested buyers.
Lance McFaddin, 4950 Woodway, #606, Houston, said he is the developer of the property. A
PDD is a contract between the City and the developer, and it cannot be unilaterally changed.
However, zoning is driven by market needs and economics. Comp Plans are also subject to
being re-done.
Yi Hsieh, 1007 Emerald Dove, said he was here to support the neighborhood, which is full of
young professionals. The neighborhood is unique with nice schools. 192 units will definitely
affect the traffic. He doesn’t see any real benefit to the community.
Lily Gallegos, 3710 Bridle Court, stated when she bought her house, she asked her agent if
apartments would be built. She was aware of commercial development, but relied on the Comp
Plan to believe there would not be apartments.
Ashley Booth, 3711 Bridle Trails, said she was drawn to Bridle Gate because they were close to
the businesses she frequented. She enjoys walking down the street without traffic concerns. She
minds that the population density will increase. If this is approved, there is not much to stop the
adjacent areas from developing,
Cheryl Wenck, 8703 Chippendale, did not come forward.
Arun Manandhar, 1023 Emerald Dove, said there is a planning issue here with no long-term
planning by the City. There are plenty of other areas to build apartments.
RM021116 Minutes Page 9
Jack Li, 903 Emerald Dove, said they found out about the project a few weeks ago. He
referenced the discussion earlier about Castle Rock and noted that Dove Crossing has the same
reasons.
Shawn Clark, 941 Whitewing Lane, spoke in opposition to the re-zoning. As a young
professional, he wanted an area centrally located with local amenities. They are part of the fabric
that makes this community great. They relocated here because they didn’t want a Houston
lifestyle.
Joe Guerra, 2079 Ravenstone Loop, said we need to re-look at the whole Comp Plan and the
urban core. He supports the residents and opposes the project.
Jeremy Richmond, 2800 South Texas Avenue, Suite 400, Bryan, representing the owners, said
there has been a lot of talk about degrading property values. He does not see that happening with
the demand for housing and the growth in the area. When he first came to College Station, there
was nothing available for young professionals to rent. This product is a step in the right
direction.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 11:18 p.m.
The meeting recessed at 11:18 p.m.
The meeting reconvened at 11:26 p.m.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Schultz and a second by Mayor Berry, the
City Council voted one (1) for and six (6) opposed, with Mayor Berry and Councilmembers
Brick, Aldrich, Mooney, Nichols, and Benham voting against, to adopt Ordinance 2016-3747,
amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from Suburban
Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved to Urban for approximately 11 acres located at 1700
Graham Road, more generally located near the southwest corner of Graham Road and Longmire
Drive. The motion failed.
4. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance 2016-
3748, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official
Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing
the zoning district boundaries from R Rural to PDD Planned Development District for
approximately 11 acres being situated in the Robert Stevenson Survey, Abstract No. 54,
College Station, Brazos County, Texas, and being part of the 25.6 acre tract described in
the deed from R. B. Tolson to Myrtle L. Tolson (conveying an undivided ½ interest)
recorded in Volume 3115, Page 35, of the Official Records of Brazos County, Texas,
generally located at 1700 Graham Road, and more generally located near the southwest
corner of Graham Road and Longmire Drive.
Jessica Bullock, Planning and Development, stated that the applicant is requesting a Planned
Development District zoning on approximately 11 acres to build a multi-family development.
The PDD uses a base zoning district of Multi-Family.
RM021116 Minutes Page 10
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their January 21 meeting and
voted 5-0-1 to recommend approval. Staff recommended denial, and noted this is not in
compliance with the Comp Plan.

Charles Gandy, 1737 Briarcrest, declined to speak.
Lance McFaddin, 4950 Woodway, #600, Houston, declined to speak.

and Zoning Commission,” Subsection B. “Membership and Terms,” Paragraph 1
“Number, Appointment” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas
amending the duties of the Planning and Zoning Commission to include serving as the
Capital Improvements Advisory Committee for impact fees and containing other
provisions related to the subject matter.
This item was taken out of order, following item #1.
Alan Gibbs, City Engineer, stated that this agenda item is the consideration of an ordinance
amendment to Chapter 12, “Unified Development Ordinance” with a companion amendment to
Chapter 15 “Impact Fees” that follows later in the meeting. The amendment provides that the
P&Z may be appointed by Council to serve as the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee
for the consideration of impact fees. It also provides flexibility to allow the appointment of an
additional ad hoc ETJ member as needed when impact fees are considered for the ETJ. This
additional membership is required pursuant to state law. Appointment of the P&Z as the Capital
Improvements Advisory Committee for roadway and for water/sewer impact fee consideration
will be considered at Council's next meeting.
On November 12, 2015, Council directed staff to bring forward contracts for engineering firms
to perform studies regarding possible implementation of impact fees for water/wastewater, and
for transportation. Council approved contacts with Freese & Nichols, Inc. for the
water/wastewater impact fee study and with Kimley-Horn for the roadway impact fee study at
their January 28th meeting. These studies are anticipated to be completed by August, 2016.
At approximately 7:17 p.m., Mayor Berry opened the Public Hearing.

Mayor Nancy Berry at 8:25 a.m. on Monday, February 15, 2016 in the Carters Creek Training
Room, 2200 North Forest Parkway, College Station, Texas.
3. Introduction and Retreat Process
4. Goals of the Retreat.
Items 3 and 4 were taken together. Kelly Templin, City Manager, presented a brief overview of
what was hoped to be accomplished. He noted that we do not reference our Comp Plan often
RTRT021516 Minutes Page 2
enough. He hopes that this process will allow for a Plan of Work that can be passed on to the
next Council.
The idea today is to arrive at a consensus on several major issues. The retreat will culminate in a
discussion of the budget and how these major projects will be funded.
5. Presentation, possible action and discussion of current and future City Facilities.
The 2015 Bond Citizen Advisory Committee Project Prioritization list was distributed.
Construction of a new Police Station was discussed, specifically square footage build-out
and site location.
A future City Hall and possible site locations were also discussed. There are location
options that we own outright, own over time, or lease space.
Veterans Park and the Southeast Community Park were discussed. It was noted that we
need to work toward more baseball fields to take advantage of those types of
tournaments.
Fire Station #7 was briefly discussed, related to the O&M and and the future nearby
development by CSISD. A possible location west of the railroad tracks in Wellborn was
brought up, but it was explained that most of the service area is on the east side.
The Community Center was briefly discussed. In addition to a Senior Center, it was
requested that there be adequate meeting space for the broader community as a whole.
Space for a catering kitchen was also suggested.
6. Presentation, possible action and discussion of current and future Infrastructure Needs.
Dr. Gaines was quoted, “Transportation is key to economic development.”
The CIP CAC developed a project map of proposed transportation improvements costing
$120 million. The City has committed to funding $50 million of the $85 million
prioritized projects.
Impact fees for water and sewer were discussed.
Chuck Gilman, Deputy City Manager, updated the Council on current projects.
7. Presentation, possible action and discussion of current and future Staffing & Employee
Compensation.
Mr. Templin noted that additional staffing needs must be addressed to accommodate the growth
the City is experiencing. We have to expand every level of the organization to meet the needs.
$641,000 is budgeted to handle Phase 1 of the compensation plan. Salaries and benefits
comprisev75% of the budget. There was some discussion on outsourcing.
8. Presentation, possible action and discussion of the City’s Economic Development
Program.
Natalie Ruiz, Director of Economic Development, said that jobs creation is the City’s number
one focus, with improving the overall level of property tax second. Retail tax is strong; 41% of
our income comes from sales tax. Tourism (HOT funds) is the fourth focus.
RTRT021516 Minutes Page 3
Jobs creation was farmed out to the RVP as a more regional effort for both cities and the county.
They cannot focus on one city or the other. She asserted that the City needs to be more
aggressive for jobs for College Station, perhaps by establishing our own economic development
corporation.
The City has also become more aggressive with property tax by forcing change in those areas
that have not developed over time.
The top three things the City needs to do are look at the funding infrastructure for the industrial
park, look at underdeveloped/underutilized sites and learn why they are so, and form an EDC. A
fundamental question is if an R&D corridor is the way to go. The City needs to fix those broken
sites with zoning or infrastructure, determine the funding for an industrial park, form an EDC,
and marketing with new marketing material. Strategically, we need to be laser focused on
determining our target industries. Another strategy is to partner with TAMU to align incentives
for one or two projects.
9. Executive Session
In accordance with the Texas Government Code §551.072-Real Estate, and §551.087-Economic
Incentive Negotiations, the College Station City Council convened into Executive Session at
12:18 p.m. on Monday, February 15, 2016 in order to continue discussing matters pertaining to:
A. Deliberation on the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property; to wit:
Property located generally southeast of the intersection of Texas Avenue and Francis
Drive in College Station
B. Deliberation on offers of financial or other incentives for a business prospect that the Council
seeks to have locate, stay or expand in or near the city; to wit:
Economic incentives for a proposed development located generally southeast of the
intersection of Texas Avenue and Francis Drive in College Station.

The Executive Session adjourned at 1:29 p.m.
No action was required from Executive Session.
10. Presentation, possible action and discussion of the City’s Budget & Budgeting Process.
Mr. Templin noted that everything already discussed today had budgetary implications. He
requested direction on how the budget process should work this year. Councilmember Schultz
said she hoped the compensation study will assist in avoiding the compensation controversy that
occurred last year. Councilmember Aldrich asked for budget alternatives, based on current tax
rate, the effective tax rate, and the roll back rate minus a quarter, in order to better address
budget priorities that, otherwise, might not be considered. Councilmember Benham said he
would like to see a strategy-based budget. It should be based on what we want our city to be and
what we really need.
11. Presentation, possible action and discussion of the City Council Goals for 2017 and
beyond.
Mr. Templin asked for a list of things Council wants to see:

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION
SPONSORSHIP POLICY
____________(date)
I. GENERAL POLICY STATEMENT
From time to time the City of College Station (“City”) may seek Sponsorships that
further its mission of making City facilities, events, programs or services available to its
citizens and the general public. Likewise, others may request the City to consider
sponsoring their facilities, events, programs and services. The City may consider these
requests to the degree it determines it is beneficial to its citizens and/or the general
public, and provided the City has appropriate resources available for such Sponsorship.
Sponsorships may be in the form of monetary or in-kind support, and can be flexible to
meet the nature of the specific facility, event, program or service.
The City strives for Sponsorships that are compatible with its public purpose, and
decisions concerning Sponsorship may be based upon this. This includes taking into
consideration the nature of the facility, event, program or service, aesthetics, public
perception, and other City priorities and issues; avoiding Sponsorships that are political
in nature, offensive, inappropriately exclusionary, or that the City otherwise determines
to be inconsistent with its purpose and mission. The City may refuse Sponsorships from
entities which manufacture products or take positions inconsistent with local, state, or
federal law, policies, positions, or resolutions. The City’s acceptance of, or entering into,
a Sponsorship arrangement is not an endorsement of the Sponsor's organization, products,
or services.
Sponsorships provide a means to generate funds for improving or expanding those
facilities, programs, events and services serving the City’s citizens and/or the general
public. The City currently limits its sponsorship program to nonpublic forums and
exercises sole discretion over its Sponsorship decisions, including the circumstances
under which it enters into a Sponsorship relationship, the nature of the Sponsorship and
all other details.
Other policies.
Except as set forth below, this policy replaces any prior ones addressing the same subject
matter.
This policy is in addition to and is intended to complement the following policies. Where
possible this policy and the following policies should be read in harmony. If there is a
direct conflict, the more specific provision should prevail that is in keeping with the
overall public purpose, mission and goals of the City:
A. Naming of City Facilities and Sub-Facilities, approved May 14, 2012.
B. City Dedication Plaque Policy, approved May 14, 2012.

C. Tables and Banquets Sponsorship Policy, November 19, 2007.
11. PURPOSE
This policy is designed to provide guidance for developing and managing Sponsorships
of City facilities, events, programs and services, and the criteria under which to consider
Sponsorship of the facilities, events programs and services of third parties. This includes
setting forth the criteria for considering and entering into Sponsorship relationships,
determining benefits to be made available to Sponsors in exchange for Spons orships,
such as branding and name recognition on City property or in City-generated
communications. It is the intent of the City to preserve its full rights and discretion to
restrict access to City assets and facilities, and to City-generated communications, and to
reject or refuse placement of any or all Sponsorship messages as it deems appropriate. To
the extent that Sponsorships include an entitlement of the Sponsor to have branding,
name recognition or other messaging in various locations and in various City
communications, the City reserves the right of full editorial control over the placement,
content, appearance and wording of such messaging, and may determine and prohibit
types of Sponsorship messages which are deemed inappropriate for, or inconsistent with,
the business of the City or its public purpose.

fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
of the sponsorship, there may be entitlement to public recognition of support,
including name recognition and other matters pursuant to this policy.
IV. SPONSORSHIP OF CITY FACILITIES, EVENTS, PROGRAMS, SERVICES
Sponsorship of a specific facility, event, program or service should be negotiated and
tailored individually in a manner consistent with this policy. Depending on the amount
and length of time of a Sponsorship, Sponsorships may require entering into an
agreement specifying in more detail the nature of the Sponsorship. Typically, a
hierarchy of benefits should accrue to a Sponsor commensurate with the value of the
Sponsorship.
The following sets forth the types of Sponsorships that will be considered by the City,
although variations and other types may be considered when consistent with this
policy.
A. “Branding Rights” Sponsorship.
“Branding Rights” is a type of Sponsorship where an individual, foundation, corporation,
nonprofit organization, service club, or other entity has the exclusive right to brand or
name a City Asset or City Facility, such as a particular venue, event, program or facility
(e.g., athletic field, sports complex, playground, or community facility) for a period of
time. Typically this occurs when a significant monetary contribution or other
contribution having a significant impact is made by an external entity for a major City
Asset or City Facility. In exchange for making such a large contribution, the external
entity may be entitled to an exclusive or near-exclusive opportunity to advertise its name
and/or its business. Usually branding rights are considered in a commercial context,
where the branding right is sold or exchanged for cash and/or other considerations
som etimes under a long-term arrangement pursuant to a written agreement.
The following guidelines should be met for Branding Rights Sponsorships:
1. The Sponsor supports the image, values and public purpose objectives of
the City.
2. The Sponsor understands and agrees the City does not relinquish to the
proposed Sponsor any aspect of the right to manage and control City
Assets or City Facilities.
3. Acknowledgements of the contribution made by Sponsor, whether through
signage, utilization of electronic mediums or other publicity and advertising
mediums conforms to applicable City policies, ordinances and plans.
4. The appropriate authority from the City has approved the Sponsorship in
accordance with this policy.
5. The name of the facility, event, program or service being Sponsored is
preserved so as to preserve the identifiability of such facility, event,
program or service.
6. The name of the facility, event, program or service takes into account the
4
fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
historical and community significance of the City Facility or City Asset.
7. The Sponsor recognizes and understands that it shall have ongoing
responsibilities to adhere to the standards set forth herein, and any
agreement entered into may require this or call for termination for failure
to comply.
8. City costs incurred in branding an event as a result of a Branding Rights
Sponsorship should come from funding designated for such City Facility or
City Asset.
B. “Events, Programs and Services” Sponsorship.
1. Title Sponsor
This is a type of Sponsorship where an individual, foundation,
corporation, nonprofit organization, service club, or other entity has
exclusive recognition as the title Sponsor of an event, program or service.
The following guidelines shall be applied for title Sponsorships of City
events, programs and services:
a. Recognition of the title Sponsor may be on any City-owned,
initiated or controlled medium including video, print and
electronic marketing and advertising materials acknowledging
the title Sponsor of the event, program or service.
b. Title Sponsor signage/displays as approved by the City may be at
the event, program or service location for a period approximating
the length of the event, program or service.
c. Sponsor and City may agree to product exclusivity for the event,
program or service.
d. Other benefits as negotiated consistent with this policy.
2. Cash Sponsor
This is a type of Sponsorship where an individual, foundation,
corporation, nonprofit organization, service club, or other entity
provides cash to support a City event, program or service. Depending
on the amount of cash provided by Sponsor, a cash Sponsor may also be
a title Sponsor. The following guidelines shall be applied when
entering into a cash Sponsorship for City events, programs and
services:
a. Recognition as negotiated for City video, print or online
marketing and advertising materials as a Sponsor of the event,
program or service.
b. Sponsor signage/displays at the event, program or service
location for a period not to exceed the length of the event.
c. For recognition on negotiated commemorative items such as park
5
fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
benches or engraved bricks, Sponsorship is limited to an
individual, corporate or partnership name(s), a memorial
dedication and date(s), as appropriate, and may be subject to other
line or character limitations.
d. Other benefits as negotiated.
3. In-Kind Sponsor
This is a type of Sponsorship in which an individual, foundation,
corporation, nonprofit organization, service club or other entity provides
a good or service in exchange for Sponsorship recognition at a City
event, program or service. Typically there is no monetary exchange with
this type of Sponsorship. The following guidelines shall be applied when
entering into an in-kind Sponsorship for City events, programs and
services:
a. Recognition as negotiated in City video, print or online marketing
and advertising materials as a Sponsor of the event, program or
service.
b. Sponsor signage/displays at the event, program or service
location for a period not to exceed the length of the event.
c. Other benefits as negotiated.
4. Gifts
Restricted and un-restricted gifts of cash or items of value may be
processed under this policy as Sponsorships. In such instances, offer and
receipt of gifts will follow all of the same guidelines and procedures set
forth in this policy.
C. Approval Required.
Sponsorships must be approved by the City and should occur as set forth below.
1. Except as required by law or expressly established by an affirmative
action of the City Council, no property or publication of the City shall be
intended or considered as an open, limited, or designated public forum.
2. City Control. To ensure the proper expenditure of City funds and
resources, the City maintains control and use over its Sponsorships.
Specifically, no person has a right to access or use any City property or
publication for any purpose other than the intended and authorized
governmental purpose or service, and as may be set forth in a Sponsorship
agreement. Placement of Sponsorship messages upon City property or in
City publications requires prior City authorization.
3. Level of approval. The level of Sponsorship involved determines how it is
6
fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
approved as set forth below:
a. The City Council approves
i. Sponsorships that exceed $50,000 in value including
Branding Rights exceeding $50,000 in value;
ii. Agreements that exceed three (3) years in length of term; or
iii. Any other Sponsorship for which the City determines City
Council approval is required or appropriate.
b. The City Manager or his designee approves
i. Sponsorships valued up to and including $50,000; or
ii. Where City Council approval is not otherwise required.
c. The Department Director approves Sponsorships
i. Valued less than $25,000; or
ii. Where neither City Council approval nor City Manager
approval is not otherwise required.
4. Form of Approval. Approval may be provided in the form of an approved,
signed application for simple Sponsorships or Sponsorships of lesser value,
and by formal agreement authorized by the appropriate City official or staff
for other Sponsorships in the manner set forth herein.
Approval of Sponsorships should generally address the following:
a. Identification of the City facility, event, program or service;
b. The exact nature and/or value of the Sponsorship;
c. Activities, products, and services of the sponsoring private entity,
its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates and predecessor companies;
d. Details regarding recognition of the Sponsorship, including type,
duration and other relevant matters;
e. The type and nature of control over the Sponsorship to ensure
proper expenditure of public funds and resources, maintenance of
the overall public purpose of the facility, event, program or
service; and
f. The conditions under which the Sponsorship may be terminated.
D. Criteria for Approval of Sponsorships.
1. Generally. The nature and type of need of the City for Sponsorship of the
City facility, event, program or service should be considered as well as the
type of support and recognition available.
2. Factors. The City recognizes that while entering into a Sponsorship with
an external entity does not constitute an endorsement of the entity or its
services and products, it does imply an affiliation of some proportion.
Such affiliation may affect the reputation of the City among its residents
7
fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
and affect its ability to govern effectively. Therefore, any proposal for
Sponsorship should complement, be consistent with or not be conflictive
with the City’s goals, mission and purposes. This involves considering the
following:
a. Is the City’s mission, values, policies and ordinances consistent
with the proposed Sponsor’s mission, products, services and
marketing goals?
b. Does the Sponsorship enhance City facilities, programs, events,
and services?
c. Are the proposed tangible and intangible benefits balanced for both
the Sponsor and the City?
d. Is the level and type of recognition commensurate or otherwise
reasonable considering the level and type of benefit received by the
City?
e. Are the conditions of the recognition of the Sponsorship consistent
with the standards, aesthetic values, and visual integrity of the City
and the expectations of users of the facility, event, program or
service?
f. Does the Sponsorship create a conflict of interest for the City?
g. Does the Sponsorship in any way invoke future consideration,
influence, or perceive to influence City operations?
h. Is the Sponsorship appropriate to the target audience?
i. Will the results of the Sponsorship relationship deliver a positive
and desirable image for the City?
j. What is the proposed Sponsor’s record or intent of
environmental stewardship and/or social responsibility, and how
relevant is this to the proposed Sponsorship?
k. What is the rationale for the proposed Sponsor’s interest in
Sponsoring?
l. What are the expectations, ability, timeliness, and readiness of the
proposed Sponsor to enter into a Sponsorship arrangement with the
City?
m. How important is the level or type of Sponsorship to the mission of
City?
n. What is the level of support needed from the City or others to
implement the Sponsorship arrangement?
o. Are there any other factors that might affect the overall
appropriateness of the proposed Sponsorship?
3. Case by Case Basis. The City will consider proposed Sponsorship
relationships on an individual, case-by-case basis, taking into
consideration the factors set out in this section.
4. Unconditional and non-exclusive. The Sponsorship cannot be made
conditional on the City’s performance. Sponsorships may not be exclusive;
a Sponsorship shall not limit the City’s ability to seek other Sponsors as
8
fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
the City determines appropriate.
E. Types of Recognition for Sponsorship.
In return for Sponsorship, recognition of a Sponsor may be given by the City through
City’s use of various mediums, including newspaper, City website, video, radio and
signage regarding Sponsor’s role in the City’s facility, event, program or service.
Recognition of Sponsorships should generally conform to the following:
1. Sponsorships on City of College Station Parks and Recreation property are
maintained as a nonpublic forum.
2. The City preserves its rights and discretion to exercise full editorial
control over the placement, content, appearance, and wording of all
Sponsorship recognition in all mediums.
3. The City may make distinctions on the appropriateness of Sponsorship on
the basis of the nature and level of Sponsorship.
4. Determination of form of Recognition. The City Manager or his designee
shall have the ultimate authority to determine what a permissible form of
recognition of a Sponsorship is.
5. Acceptable Forms of Recognition. Typically, Sponsorship recognition
messages should identify the Sponsor but contain little to no other
additional information. Ordinarily, only the following content is
appropriate:
a. The legally recognized name of the Sponsoring organization;
b. The Sponsor's organizational slogan if it merely identifies rather
than promotes its products or services;
c. The Sponsor's product or service line, described in brief, generic,
objective terms. Generally, only one product or service line may be
identified;
d. Brief contact information for the Sponsor's organization, such as a
phone number, address, or Internet website. Contact information
should be stated in a manner that avoids an implication of urging
the reader or listener to action.
e. The words “a paid sponsorship,” or some like term, may be added
to Sponsorship recognitions when, in the sole opinion of the City,
the recognition might be confused with editorial matter or other
content.
6. Unacceptable Forms of Recognition. The following types of recognition
for Sponsorship may be prohibited by the City as incompatible with the
City facility, event, program or service; the City’s governmental purpose;
contrary to community standards; or otherwise determined to be
inappropriate, all in the sole discretion of the City:
a. Promotion of the sale or consumption of alcoholic or cereal malt
beverages in name, likeness or implication, or promotion of
establishments that are licensed for and primarily sell alcoholic or
cereal malt beverages, including bars; provided, however,
9
fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
restaurants or other food service establishments and hotels or other
places of lodging may be authorized when the commercial
message or advertisement promotes only the food service or
lodging;
b. Promotion of the sale or consumption of tobacco products or
depiction of the use of tobacco products;
c. Commentary, advocacy or promotion of issues, candidates,
campaigns or organizations of a social, political, religious, or
rhetorical nature;
d. Promotion of gambling, para-mutual betting, or games of chance,
in name, likeness or implication, or promotion of establishments
providing such services or activities of a related or similar nature;
e. Depiction in any form of nudity or semi-nudity, profanity,
obscenity, or lewdness, or characterizations which suggest, depict
or promote any such element or sexually oriented products,
activities or materials;
f. Promotion in any form of illegal drugs, illegal drug use or illegal
drug materials, or characterizations which suggest or depict the
promotion or glorification of any such products, activities or
materials;
g. Promotion of the use or sale of firearms, explosives or other
weapons, or the depiction, suggestion or glorification of violence
or acts of a violent nature;
h. Use of language or descriptive material which taken in form and
context is deemed to be unsuitable for and contrary to community
standards of appropriateness for governmental or family
publications;
i. Use of words, language, representations or descriptive material of
any kind having more than one meaning or connotation, one of
which would otherwise be prohibited under this policy;
j. Inclusion of materials, depictions, promotions or offerings which
are the type prohibited by, or by their nature would violate, any
postal restrictions or regulations of any federal, state, or local law,
rule, or regulation;
k. Direct promotions or endorsements of the organization, its
products or services;
l. Statements that advocate, contain price information such as an
indication of associated savings or value, request a response, or
contain comparative or qualitative descriptions of products,
services or organizations;
m. Recognition of any kind with respect to a City facility, event,
program, service without the express authorization of the City,
including use of City’s name, marks, logo or other indicia
suggesting affiliation with the City or City’s facility, event,
program or service.
10
fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
F. Responsibilities of Sponsor.
Sponsors shall be responsible for the following:
1. Procuring all necessary permissions to use photographs, trademarks, trade
names, copyrighted material or any other legally protected property it
provides to the City; and accurately representing the adequacy of required
authorizations to use same and shall provide proof of such authorization
upon request of the City.
2. Assumption of responsibility for all content of Sponsor recognition
including text, photographs, representations, illustrations, sketches, maps,
labels, trademarks or other copyrighted matter unless expressly agreed
upon otherwise.
3. Indemnifying, holding harmless, and defending the City, its officers,
agents, and employees from and against any and all claims, losses,
damages, causes of action, suits, and liability of every kind, including
all expenses of litigation, court costs, and attorney's fees, for injury to
or death of any person or for damage to any property arising out of or
in connection with Sponsor’s Sponsorship, including that the
Sponsorship recognition infringes on any copyright, violates any right
of privacy, or other personal or property right, constitutes libelous
matter, plagiarism, unfair competition, unfair trade practice,
infringement of trademarks, or other matter contrary to law or
contains any formula or instructions injurious to the user of a
Sponsor's product.
4. Holding the City harmless for delays in publication or presentation of
Sponsorship recognition in any event or for any reason, including acts of
God, acts by any governmental or quasigovernmental entity, lack of
funding, fire, flood, insurrection, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes whether
legal or illegal, labor or material shortage, transportation interruption of
any kind, work slowdown, or any condition beyond the control of the City
affecting publication or presentation of recognition of Sponsorship in any
manner.
5. Agreeing that if an error or omission should occur in the publication or
placement of any Sponsorship recognition, the City's liability is limited to
the amount of the reduction in the value of the Sponsorship due to the
error or omission, and in no event shall liability exceed the total value of
the Sponsorship, such as the cost payable for the Sponsorship space.
G. Responsibilities of City.
The City shall be responsible for the following:
11
fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
1. Use of Funds
a. All funds derived from Sponsorships shall be recorded, accounted
for and used for the applicable City facility, program, event or
service, and in accordance with applicable policies and procedures
adopted by the City Finance Director for the budgeting and
expenditure of funds.
b. All revenues received from Branding Rights will be deposited into
the appropriate City fund. The City Council, as part of the City’s
annual budget process, may determine how funds collected for
Branding Rights will be allocated.
c. The City shall track all Sponsorships, including amount, type,
duration and other relevant information and as may be reasonably
requested by the City’s Finance Director.
d. The City may issue a written acknowledgement of each
Sponsorship.
e. In light of the need for more government transparency, no Sponsor
or donation may remain truly “anonymous” but only
“unrecognized.” That is, the City cannot guarantee anonymity of
any gift or donation, but a Sponsor may choose to not be publicly
recognized.
2. Conduct City Business. Nothing in this policy shall be interpreted to
prohibit the conduct of special events by the City and its use and
recognition of Sponsors, products, sales or prizes. Nothing herein
prevents the City from engaging in any activity it determines necessary
and or appropriate.
3. Implementation. This policy shall become effective upon adoption by the
City Manager and shall thereafter apply to the acceptance and placement
of Sponsorship messages as provided in this policy; provided, however,
that Sponsorship messages which were made prior to the adoption of this
policy shall not be considered in violation thereof, and to the extent
possible shall be construed and completed, if necessary, in the manner
most consistent with this policy.
H. Sponsorship Payment.
Sponsorships may vary in length, type and amount. This can be attributed to the nature
of the facility, event, program or services being Sponsored and the type of Sponsorship
involved. Generally the City should ensure that the benefit of sponsoring is maximized
to be of most benefit to its citizens while balancing the nature of the benefit to be
received from a Sponsor. While Sponsorships may need to be reviewed individually, the
following general guidelines should apply:
1. Long-Term Sponsorships (>1 Year). For long-term Sponsorships
12
fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
exceeding one year in length:
a. The City requires a 50% deposit of the first annual payment. This
deposit should be submitted with the signed Sponsorship
agreement where applicable.
b. The remaining 50% for year one payment should be paid within
thirty (30) days of execution of the Sponsorship agreement.
C. For each year there after, 100% of the annual payment should be
received on the anniversary date of the Sponsorship agreement.
2. Short-Term Agreements (<1 Year). For short-term Sponsorships of one
year or less the City typically requires full payment upon the approval of
the Sponsorship.
I. Termination of Sponsorships.
The City of College Station reserves the right to accept or reject any proposed
Sponsorship. While every intention is to accept and fulfill all Sponsorship requests
the City reserves the right to terminate a Sponsorship at any time if, in the City’s sole
discretion, continuation of the Sponsorship is determined not to be in the best interests
of the City.
1. If the City elects to terminate a Sponsorship, any funds, unused
materials or services, or other compensation received by the City prior to
such termination will be refunded to the Sponsor, unless such
termination is due to a material breach of a Sponsorship agreement by
the Sponsor, in which case the City may retain all or a part of the
compensation if the City determines that such is necessary to compensate
the City for any losses incurred by the City due to such material breach.
2. The Sponsor reserves the right to withdraw a Sponsorship proposal at any
time during the approval process.
3. The Sponsor may rescind a Sponsorship arrangement within thirty (30)
days of entering into one. However, no refund will be given on any funds
received by the City prior to receipt of the notification of withdrawal.
V. REQUESTS FOR CITY SPONSORSHIP BY OTHERS
A. Policy.
The continued long-term growth of City has brought about an increased demand for the
use of City facilities, event, programs and services in the community. Since the City has
limited resources, the City may from time to time determine it desirable and appropriate
to grant requests for City Sponsorship of the facilities, events, programs and services of
others. This section of the policy sets forth guidelines for requests from those outside
the organization of the City.
13
fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
This policy should be used to determine the basis for approval and/or denial of requests
for support by outside entities and the extent to which support should be granted.
The City maintains absolute authority over the use of its funds and resources. Nothing in
this policy obligates the City to expend City funds and/or resources whenever it
determines a public purpose is not being served and anytime it determines it is in the best
interest of the City to no longer be a Sponsor. The City retains its ability to cease or alter
a Sponsorship relationship anytime it deems appropriate.
B. Process.
1. Requests. All requests for support should be reviewed by the appropriate
Department Director and any other personnel or consultant determined
relevant by such Director.
2. Form of Requests to be written. All groups requesting support from the
City should be made in writing. Typically this will be done by filling out
an application form.
3. Approval. Approvals should be in writing and depending on the amount
and nature of the Sponsorship, a formal agreement may be entered into.
The level of approval required is the same as for Sponsorship of City
facilities, programs, services and events as set forth in Section
IV.C.3/Level of approval above.
C. Criteria for Sponsorship by City.
There are many factors to consider in determining whether or not it is appropriate for the
City to support an outside facility, event, program or service.
1. Below are criteria that should always be considered:
a. Whether the City has adequate funds and resources to consider
Sponsorship. This may include considering outstanding
commitments, the nature of the proposed Sponsorship and other
relevant factors as determined by the City.
b. Generally, for the City to Sponsor a facility, event, program or
service provided by a third party, the City should determine
whether such third party has a purpose that is congruent with or
complimentary to the governmental purpose of the City, including
the City’s public purpose, goals, mission and organizational
philosophies.
c. The degree to which the outside organization operates locally or
has a local impact.
d. The non-profit status of the outside organization, including
whether it has provided proof that it is a non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization or is recognized by the State of Texas as a non-profit
organization.
14
fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
e. Whether the event is of general interest or relevance to City
residents and the general public.
f. Whether a minimum of 40% of funds raised directly benefit the
City.
2. Below are additional criteria that may be considered:
a. Applicant has completed and complied with the application
process.
b. Applicant demonstrates a need for City support.
c. Whether there is a history of City support relating to the request.
d. Whether the facility, event, program or service is reasonably not
likely to cause injury to persons or property, create a disturbance,
cause disorderly conduct, encourage or result in a violation of the
law or to interfere with vehicular traffic in the area.
e. Whether the facility, event, program or service generates adequate
positive media exposure for the City as determined by the City.
f. Whether a conflict exists with the request and other approved or
previously scheduled matters.
g. Whether the City has the ability to meet the request, including
whether it has facilities adequate and compatible to host a special
event from an outside organization considering such things as
parking, restrooms, refuse collection, sanitation and lighting.
h. Whether the result of City Sponsorship will cause a strain on City
resources, including funding, facilities and personnel.
i. Whether the request will unreasonably interrupt the provision of
City facilities, events, programs and services, including whether an
event will affect the ability of a City park to remain open to users.
j. Whether due to weather, infrastructure requirements, repairs to
City property and utilities, participant behavior, and other
considerations involving the safety and general welfare for
persons, property and good public order, the City Sponsorship will
require additional conditions, dates, locations or time limitations.
3. Guidelines for Athletic Events or Tournament Services involving HOT
funds. The City processes numerous requests for Sponsorships of athletic
events or tournament services which require frequent review and
coordination with others and that are unique to this form of Sponsorship.
Because of this the City has developed specific guidelines for this. The
current set of guidelines is attached hereto as Exhibit “A.” These
guidelines may be reviewed periodically with changes approved in writing
by the City Manager.
VI. MISCELLANEOUS
A. Variance. All Sponsorships should comply with the guidelines established by this policy.
15
fca6570d-806c-4fc6-869c-61a5991c30e0.docx
The City Manager in his discretion may grant variances when he determines it is in keeping with
the overall purpose and intent of this policy or when he determines such variance best serves the
purposes and needs of the City and the general public unless City Council approval is required
because of the value of the Sponsorship, in which case City Council may consider granting a
variance using the same criteria.
B. Appeal. Disapproval of Sponsorships at the City Director level may be appealed within 30
days to the City Manager for reconsideration and whose decision shall be final. Disapproval of
Sponsorships by the City Manager may be appealed to the City Council within 30 days for
reconsideration and the decision by City Council shall be final.
C. Verification. Sponsors may be asked to verify in writing that they have read, understood and
agree to abide by this policy.

City Support Application
“In-Kind” requests for City of College Station Parks and Recreation Department Support/Sponsorship
(staff, materials, waiver of fees, etc.) must be approved by the College Station Parks and Recreation
Department. Persons must submit a College Station Parks and Recreation Department Activities,
Programs, Facility Rental, Special Events, and Tournament City Support Application to request specific
support for any In-Kind donation of space, labor or materials at least 60 calendar days prior to the
event. All Applications will be evaluated and any In-Kind support will be awarded before the event.
Applications may be obtained at the Administrative Office at Stephen C. Beachy Central Park or on the
College Station website at cstx.gov. For more information, call 979-764-3486.
In addition to the Support Application (regardless of whether support is available or not), a Special Event
Permit, if applicable, must be obtained from the City’s Planning and Development Services Department.
A rental application, which can be obtained from the College Station Parks and Recreation Department,
is also required along with the applicant’s insurance certificate as laid out in the rental agreement.
The College Station Parks and Recreation Department shall provide a complete review of all support
request applications, including consultation with the applicants as may be reasonably necessary to
resolve questions, at no charge to applicants. Applicants requesting support for events (which are
extensive in nature) must provide a site plan of the event. Applicants whose events involve an entry fee,
ticket, gate fee or any other exchange of funds by participants, spectators or sponsors are required to
submit, with their application, a profit and loss estimate statement for the event. The College Station
Parks and Recreation Department shall approve or deny the request and establish the level of College

Presentation, possible action, and discussion concerning the City Internal Auditor’s College Station
Police Department Inventory Audit.
Summary:
Reasons for the Audit: This audit was included in the fiscal year 2016 audit plan based on direction
given by the Audit Committee. This will be the first audit of two for the Police Department, the other
being an audit of the evidence function to be conducted later this year. The audit allowed for a review
of 1) Inventory tracking and storage procedures and 2) quartermaster purchasing procedures.
Summary of Findings:
Tracking and Storage.Tracking and storage procedures lack some controls. The quartermaster
function lacks a way to track high-risk inventory in an accountable database and lacks a tracking
system for non-serialized items such as uniforms and badges. Currently, storage facilities are
inadequate due to lack of space and monitoring devices.
Purchasing.Currently, purchasing procedures are being followed in Munis, however, there is a lack
of controls physically. Also, the current purchase/supply request system is less efficient than it could
be.
Audit recommendations:
1.Automate the inventory supply, equipment records through an accountable information
system.
2.Additional space should be provided for inventory storage and centralization strongly
considered.
3.The duties of ordering, approving, and receiving should be segregated.

December 17, 2015
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Audit Committee:
An audit of high-risk police inventory was included in the fiscal year 2016 audit plan based on direction
given by the Audit Committee. This will be the first audit of two for the Police Department, the other
being an audit of the Evidence function. The audit also presented us with the opportunity to review
implementation of audit recommendations from the 2008 Police Department Assessment (conducted by
Carroll Buracker & Associates, Inc.) in which five recommendations were given related to the
Quartermaster function. Two of these recommendations fall within the scope of our audit.
The scope of review included all police purchase orders and purchasing card transactions from March
2015 to November 20151, purchase orders from 2010, and purchase orders from 2005. At the time,
there were 420 purchase orders from 2015, 103 purchase orders from 2010, 62 purchase orders from
2005, and 1,527 purchasing card transactions from March 2015 to November 2015. Fieldwork was
conducted to observe the current inventory system and how it functions from purchasing to tracking to
disposal. High-risk inventory was defined as uniforms, badges, guns, ammunition, and high-cost items.
Audit objectives:
Is Police inventory being properly recorded, tracked, and disposed of?
Is Police inventory stored safely, securely, and in an organized fashion?
Are purchasing policies being followed and do they meet best practice standards?
Were relevant 2008 audit recommendations contained in the Buracker & Associates report
implemented?
Findings:
Inventory Items Should be Easily Tracked
Criteria: It is best practice to have an inventory process that is capable of fulfilling the following tasks: 1)
ability to track inventory to ensure that items are located in the proper place or are in the
possession of the proper person and 2) keep a record of how many of each item the
organization has in its possession following purchase or disposal which can then be checked
against stocked inventory. The system should also be in a secure and accountable database to
ensure that data entry errors and manipulation are minimized.
1 This range was chosen because of the Tyler Munis implementation.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
Mayor Nancy Berry
Mayor Pro Tem John Nichols
Councilmember Steve Aldrich
Observations:
1. Not all inventory items are tracked. Serialized items like body cameras, NADYs, and tasers are
tracked in non-accountable tracking systems2 by the Quartermaster. Of the high-risk items noted,
we were unable to track the amount of uniforms and badges possessed by the department as
they are not tracked in a perpetual inventory system.
2. Guns and ammunition are tracked by the Recruiting and Training Division in a non-accountable
tracking system. Guns are issued to specific officers and the serial number of the weapon is
noted. Ammunition is tracked by the number of rounds purchased and the number expended
during training exercises and duty activities. We found that all sampled guns could be accounted
for using this system. Of the sampled ammunitions, we found that three of the five ammunition
types were recorded correctly in the non-accountable system while one had an error rate of
0.05% and one had an error rate of 0.99%, neither of which are material.
3. The system used to track the amount of uniform and badge items issued to an officer was often
difficult to understand and follow. Of the 30 officer files sampled, we were unable to confidently
determine the number of specific uniform items each officer was supposed to have in his or her
possession 26.7% of the time (8 files).
4. There were no records for disposal of uniforms and badges. There was a records system kept for
high-cost (over $200) items; however, disposal records could only be found for half of the items
marked as disposed. There were records for ammunition expended and gun disposal.
Inventory Items Should be Efficiently Stored
Criteria: Inventory should be stored in a secure environment that is only accessible to approved
personnel. Multiple security measures should be implemented to ensure that inventory is only
handled by those approved personnel. One of the best ways to ensure this is to have a
centralized inventory area. There are both positives and negatives for this type of system.
Positives are that it becomes easier to coordinate inventory operations from a central control
point because all the information is on hand. This reduces mistakes due to missed or incorrect
communications among multiple sites. A department can also concentrate its efforts and
resources at a central location to maximize automated tracking, surveillance, and theft
deterrence. Negatives are that centralizing inventory would require 24/7 staffing due to the
nature of the Police Department. Otherwise, there would need to be an access system
available for officers who work nights to obtain urgently needed items, such as ammunition,
tactical equipment, etc.
Observations:
1. Facilities for high-risk inventory are inadequate for the amount of property intake that the
department has. We observed that there is difficulty maneuvering in the property room,
ammunition room, and SWAT closet.
2 In contrast, an accountable inventory tracking system is secure, has built -in internal controls, and tracks any
changes in the system through an audit trail.

2. Different divisions maintain their own inventory. We found that the Criminal Investigations
Division, Patrol, and SWAT each maintain and store some of their own inventory. Some of this
was due to the lack of space for such items in the property room as noted by various officers. This
lack of centralization made it difficult to track the location of different sampled inventory items.
During our sampling, we had to ask multiple divisions for assistance in locating which division had
possession of certain high-cost items.
3. While there are physical security measures in place to ensure only approved personnel are able
to enter the property room and other high-risk inventory rooms, there are no cameras or other
automated devices as additional security measures.
Purchasing Procedures Lack Some Controls
Criteria: According to College Station Police Department policy, there are specific purchasing procedures
to be followed when acquiring items for and through the property function. These include
policies regarding purchase/supply requests, review of purchases, and inventory distribution. In
addition, according to best practice, purchasing, approving, and receiving duties should be
segregated.
Observations:
1. There is not a strong segregation of duties in the Quartermaster function. There is currently only
one employee for the function who acts as both purchaser and physical receiver.
2. As the former Staff Assistant recently retired, the current review function as described in CSPD
policies is being handled by the Civilian Training Coordinator. Previously, the Staff Assistant did
not usually physically receive the asset and check it; instead the Quartermaster would verify the
purchase and send a copy of the received invoice to the Staff Assistant who would note the items
as received. Therefore, there are system controls in place, but physical controls are limited.
3. The tracking system for purchase/supply requests is currently spread across multiple systems,
some of which are electronic and some of which are paper. This creates a duplication of effort
and results in some difficulty confirming the requests’ alignment with CSPD policy. It is also time
consuming and less efficient for the Quartermaster function.
Applicable Previous Audit Recommendations Should be Implemented
Criteria: The 2008 Police Department Assessment was conducted over the entirety of the Police
Department by an outside contractor. Review by the Office of the City Auditor has found it to
be complete, reasonable, and appropriate in its evidence and recommendations. Conducting
follow-up audits is an important part of the audit process to determine whether organizations
have been able to improve upon previous inadequacies in policies or procedures that were
determined to be risks.
The two audit recommendations that fell within our scope were as follows:
The City and Department should fund one additional employee for the quartermaster function.
The City and Department should automate the supply/equipment records.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
Mayor Nancy Berry
Mayor Pro Tem John Nichols
Councilmember Steve Aldrich
Observations:
1. The City and Department has not funded an additional employee for the quartermaster function.
2. The City and Department has not automated the supply/equipment records. Records are still
kept physically through paper forms and spreadsheets entered into Excel.
Audit Recommendations:
1. Automate the inventory supply/equipment records through an accountable information
system. Accountable perpetual inventory information systems decrease the potential for fraud
to occur without notice and would provide stronger evidence in the event of an investigation.
The department should track and manage their inventory through these types of systems and
perform periodic inventory counts. CAD RMS, Tyler Munis, or another system that fulfills these
functions could be used. Given that Tyler Munis is already being used for purchasing, approving,
and receiving, operationally it may appear most efficient to also utilize Tyler Munis’ inventory
tracking system rather than using a separate system. However, there are questions about
whether tracking General Fund expensed items in Tyler Munis could impact the General ledger.
Therefore, it may be prudent to utilize CAD RMS or another system.
2. Additional space should be provided for inventory storage and centralization strongly
considered. There is not adequate space to effectively store and manage Police inventory in the
current facilities. Inventory storage and tracking is spread throughout the department, resulting
in problems locating items. Providing more space will allow the Quartermaster to function more
efficiently and effectively to the demands of the department. Centralization should also be
considered with regards to space moving forward. While there are concerns that would need to
be addressed, centralizing would assist in departmental efficiency for obtaining necessary items.
3. The duties of ordering, approving, and receiving should be segregated. Currently, only one
employee is in charge of inventory requisition, purchasing, receiving, distribution, and storage,
which presents a risk of asset misappropriation and errors. One option would be implementing
the 2008 Assessment recommendation by hiring an additional staff member to work alongside
the Quartermaster. Operationally, adding an additional position could aid in the feasibility of
centralizing the inventory function if shift scheduling is implemented allowing the property
room to be staffed for longer periods of time.
January 14, 2016
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Audit Committee:
This memorandum will serve as the Police Department’s response to the auditor’s findings during audit
of high-risk police inventory. The overall consensus from the Police Department is that the report as
submitted is true in its findings. It is also acknowledged that business processes currently in place are
being done to the best capability given current limitations on resources in the form of personnel,
facilities and equipment. As stated in our response, we are moving towards the implementation of a
new Departmental software suite, which we believe will afford us an opportunity to address many of
these recommendations. In the interim, we will continue to strive towards the goal of:
• Properly recording, tracking, storing and disposing of property
• Follow purchasing policies and strive to meet best practice standards
For ease of reference, I have restated the observations mentioned in the auditor’s report followed by
the Department response.
Inventory Items Should be Easily Tracked
Observations:
1. Not all inventory items are tracked. Serialized items like body cameras, NADYs, and tasers are tracked
in non-accountable tracking systems by the Quartermaster. Of the high-risk items noted, we were
unable to track the amount of uniforms and badges possessed by the department as they are not
tracked in a perpetual inventory system.
Agree-current system is combined utilization of Excel spreadsheets, paper printouts and signed
receipts for issuance/returning of equipment. Manual sign-out sheets are utilized in order to obtain
signatures of those checking in or checking out property. As such, these methods do not allow it to
function as a true accountable system such as a database or specific program/module that is more
appropriately suited to address objectives. The issue of a perpetual inventory system will be discussed
below. It is of note that historically uniforms and badges have not been treated as “high risk” items in
that there are already statutory penalties for misappropriation of property and impersonation of a
public servant that serve as deterrents for use of these items that would seem to have them deemed
“high risk”. The current method for disposal of and/or re-issuance of these items is discussed below.
2. Guns and ammunition are tracked by the Recruiting and Training Division in a non-accountable
tracking system. Guns are issued to specific officers and the serial number of the weapon is noted.
Ammunition is tracked by the number of rounds purchased and the number expended during training
exercises and duty activities. We found that all sampled guns could be accounted for using this system.
Of the sampled ammunitions, we found that three of the five ammunition types were recorded correctly
City of College Station
Page 2 of 5
in the non-accountable system while one had an error rate of 0.05% and one had an error rate of 0.99%,
neither of which are material.
Agree-While not ideal, this system has worked for us for years. There are individuals
responsible for managing this property inventory and sign-in and sign out procedures that establish
individual accountability. It is understood that an accountable system would be much better but absent
such a system, this process has worked. Efforts will be made to migrate to an accountable system
through evaluation of Tyler/MUNIS as well as the new CAD/RMS system.
3. The system used to track the amount of uniform and badge items issued to an officer was often
difficult to understand and follow. Of the 30 officer files sampled, we were unable to confidently
determine the number of specific uniform items each officer was supposed to have in his or her
possession 26.7% of the time (8 files).
Agree-the current system to track uniforms is difficult to understand and follow, however, the
current system does allow personnel familiar with that system the ability to accurately track the number
of items issued to particular personnel. There are instances where a particular officer may be issued a
larger number of uniforms than allotted but it is typically due to the nature of the acquisition/return
process. Many times uniforms are issued but it takes time for the officer to have the old uniform(s)
cleaned and returned to property.
4. There were no records for disposal of uniforms and badges. There was a records system kept for high-
cost (over $200) items; however, disposal records could only be found for half of the items marked as
disposed. There were records for ammunition expended and gun disposal.
Agree-there are no records for disposal of these items. This however is more of a reflection of
two factors.
a. Uniforms have historically been treated as a “consumable” item in that they are subjected to
immense wear and tear, extreme weather in the form of sun, heat, precipitation, etc which
causes accelerated degradation. When a uniform is turned in, the patches are cut off and it is
destroyed by shredding or burning or combination of both. Upon completion, the item is no
longer recognizable as a uniform and therefore is not subject to misuse.
b. Badges when they are turned in are refurbished to allow for re-issuance to other personnel.
Inventory Items Should be Efficiently Stored
Observations:
1. Facilities for high-risk inventory are inadequate for the amount of property intake that the
department has. We observed that there is difficulty maneuvering in the property room, ammunition
room, and SWAT closet.
Agree-current facilities are inadequate to support necessary and best practice Quartermaster
function for a department of over 200 employees. Plans for new police facility will include the
City of College Station
Page 3 of 5
recommended space and security for this function.
2. Different divisions maintain their own inventory. We found that the Criminal Investigations Division,
Patrol, and SWAT each maintain and store some of their own inventory. Some of this was due to the lack
of space for such items in the property room as noted by various officers. This lack of centralization
made it difficult to track the location of different sampled inventory items. During our sampling, we had
to ask multiple divisions for assistance in locating which division had possession of certain high-cost
items.
Agree-as mentioned above lack of facility space is a key issue. Decentralization of property
storage is driven by lack of space and lack of personnel to facilitate 24/7 access to equipment.
3. While there are physical security measures in place to ensure only approved personnel are able to
enter the property room and other high-risk inventory rooms, there are no cameras or other automated
devices as additional security measures.
Agree- as mentioned above, lack of proper security is a key issue. Any plans for the new police
facility could also include cameras or other automated 2 factor authentication security measures for
access to these facility areas.
Purchasing Procedures Lack Some Controls
Observations:
1. There is not a strong segregation of duties in the Quartermaster function. There is currently only one
employee for the function who acts as both purchaser and physical receiver.
Agree-as there is only one employee assigned to the Quartermaster function. As we continue to
grow it will be critical to add another employee to aid in the segregation of duties and aid in the
management of inventory. Currently, full segregation is not possible with the current level of staff.
2. As the former Staff Assistant recently retired, the current review function as described in CSPD
policies is being handled by the Civilian Training Coordinator. Previously, the Staff Assistant did not
usually physically receive the asset and check it; instead the Quartermaster would verify the purchase
and send a copy of the received invoice to the Staff Assistant who would note the items as received.
Therefore, there are system controls in place, but physical controls are limited.
Agree-This is a temporary measure until a new Staff Assistant can be hired. While this
arrangement is not ideal, organizationally, there are limited number of personnel to routinely handle
these responsibilities. Currently a variety of personnel are utilized for the many aspects of segregating
purchasing, review, approving and receiving.
3. The tracking system for purchase/supply requests is currently spread across multiple systems, some
of which are electronic and some of which are paper. This creates a duplication of effort and results in
City of College Station
Page 4 of 5
some difficulty confirming the requests’ alignment with CSPD policy. It is also time consuming and less
efficient for the Quartermaster function.
Agree- We look forward to an opportunity to improve this process through the use of a true
tracking system.
Applicable Previous (Buracker Report) Audit Recommendations Should be implemented
The two audit recommendations that fell within our scope were as follows:
The City and Department should fund one additional employee for the quartermaster function.
The City and Department should automate the supply/equipment records.
Observations:
1. The City and Department has not funded an additional employee for the quartermaster function.
Agree- Discussions have been held during budget preparation processes but efforts to acquire
additional positions have shadowed due to higher priority public safety positions/issues.
2. The City and Department has not automated the supply/equipment records. Records are still kept
physically through paper forms and spreadsheets entered into Excel.
Agree- Efforts have been made through the years to create a database program to better
manage department property. A variety of means have been pursued to include the use of community
volunteers with database development experience to develop a system and the evaluation of off the
shelf software. The volunteer worked on the development of an inventory database but suddenly left
after working on a database for several months. A viable off the shelf software package that met
departmental needs was eventually identified but this was found at the same time a viable option was
identified through the CAD/RMS vendor evaluation process. It was our belief that waiting until the
implementation of the CAD/RMS system was the better option.
Audit Recommendations:
1. Automate the inventory supply/equipment records through an accountable information system.
Accountable perpetual inventory information systems decrease the potential for fraud to occur without
notice and would provide stronger evidence in the event of an investigation. The department should
track and manage their inventory through these types of systems and perform periodic inventory
counts. CAD RMS, Tyler Munis, or another system that fulfills these functions could be used. Given that
Tyler Munis is already being used for purchasing, approving, and receiving, operationally it may appear
most efficient to also utilize Tyler Munis’ inventory tracking system rather than using a separate system.
However, there are questions about whether tracking General Fund expensed items in Tyler Munis
could impact the General ledger. Therefore, it may be prudent to utilize CAD RMS or another system.
Agree-current staff believes that the pending implementation of the Tri-Tech CAD/RMS system
and utilization of its inventory capabilities to move from current processes into a true accountable
City of College Station
Page 5 of 5
system and perpetual inventory. Prior to the implementation of the Tri-Tech system, staff will undergo
a process to insure that accurate counts of uniforms, badges and other inventory items are obtained.
This will allow migration of accurate information into a perpetual system. As the new system comes on-
line, efforts will begin with true serialized items (radios, weapons, etc) and we will build from there.
2. Additional space should be provided for inventory storage and centralization strongly considered.
There is not adequate space to effectively store and manage Police inventory in the current facilities.
Inventory storage and tracking is spread throughout the department, resulting in problems locating
items. Providing more space will allow the Quartermaster to function more efficiently and effectively to
the demands of the department. Centralization should also be considered with regards to space moving
forward. While there are concerns that would need to be addressed, centralizing would assist in
departmental efficiency for obtaining necessary items.
Agree- Efforts are underway to improve many aspects of our facility needs. We are currently in
the design process for a new Police facility and the Quartermaster function will be a significant
component of consideration during that process.
3. The duties of ordering, approving, and receiving should be segregated. Currently, only one employee
is in charge of inventory requisition, purchasing, receiving, distribution, and storage, which presents a
risk of asset misappropriation and errors. One option would be implementing the 2008 Assessment
recommendation by hiring an additional staff member to work alongside the Quartermaster.
Operationally, adding an additional position could aid in the feasibility of centralizing the inventory
function if shift scheduling is implemented allowing the property room to be staffed for longer periods
of time.
Agree-current plans are to submit request for an additional person through either the upcoming
budget process, or if deemed appropriate through mid-year request.
Conclusion
We truly appreciate the City auditor’s evaluation of our property function. As an agency, we strive for
excellence in all aspects of our operations and embrace a best practices approach to doing business.
This is evidenced by our long-term participation in such programs as National and State accreditation
programs. While it is believed that the implementation of our new CAD/RMS system will address many
of the shortcomings of our current system, the findings of this report will be further utilized to focus
upon other aspects of our property function to improve.

College Station City Council
College Station, Texas 77842
Dear Distinguished Members of the City Council,
The Texas Legislature, with the intent of addressing the issue of racial profiling in
policing, enacted in 2001 the Texas Racial Profiling Law. Since then, the College Station Police
Department, in accordance with the law, has collected and reported traffic and motor vehicle -
related contact data for the purpose of identifying and addressing (if necessary) areas of concern
regarding racial profiling practices. In the 2009 Texas legislative session, the Racial Profiling
Law was modified and additional requirements are now in place. These most recent requirements
have been incorporated by the College Station Police Department and are also being addressed in
this report.
This particular report contains three sections with information on traffic and motor
vehicle- related contact data. In addition, when appropriate, documentation is also a component
of this report, aiming at demonstrating the manner in which the College Station Police
Department has complied with the Texas Racial Profiling Law. In section 1, you will find the
table of contents in addition to the Texas Senate Bill (SB1074); which later became the Texas
Racial Profiling Law. In addition, you will find the Texas HB 3389, which, in 2009, introduced
new requirements relevant to racial profiling. Also, in this section, a list of requirements relevant
to the Racial Profiling Law as established by TCOLE (Texas Commission on Law Enforcement)
is included. In addition, you will find, in sections 2 and 3 documentation which demonstrates
compliance by the College Station Police Department relevant to the requirements as established
in the Texas Racial Profiling Law. That is, you will find documents relevant to the
implement ation of an institutional policy banning racial profiling, the incorporation of a racial
profiling complaint process and the training administered to all law enforcement personnel.
The last section of this report provides statistical data relevant to contacts, made during
the course of motor vehicle stops, between 1/1/15 and 12/31/15. In addition, this section contains
the TCOLE Tier 1 form, which is required to be submitted to this particular organization by
March 1st of each year. The data in this report has been analyzed and compared to data derived
from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Fair Roads Standard. The final analysis and recommendations
are also included in this report. The findings in this report serve as evidence of the College
Station Police Department’s commitment to comply with the Texas Racial Profiling Law.
Sincerely,
Alex del Carmen, Ph.D.

Analysis
In 2001, the Texas legislature passed Senate Bill 1074 which became the Texas Racial
Profiling Law. That is, the law came into effect on January 1, 2002 and required all police
departments in Texas, to collect traffic-related data and report this information to their local
governing authority by March 1st of each year. In 2009, the racial profiling law was modified to
include the collection and reporting of all motor vehicle related contacts where a citation was
issued or arrest made. In addition, the modification to the law further requires that all police
officers indicate whether or not they knew the race or ethnicity of the individual before detaining
them. Further, it is required that agencies report motor vehicle related data to their local
governing authority and to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) by March 1st
of each year. The purpose in collecting and presenting this information is to determine if police
officers in a particular municipality are engaging in the practice of racially profiling minority
motorists.
The Texas Racial Profiling Law also requires police departments to interpret motor
vehicle-related data. Even though most researchers would probably agree with the fact that it is
within the confines of good practice for police departments to be accountable to the citizenry
while carrying a transparent image before the community, it is very difficult to determine if
individual police officers are engaging in racial profiling, from a review and analysis of
aggregate/institutional data. In other words, it is challenging for a reputable researcher to
identify specific “individual” racist behavior from aggregate -level “institutional” data on traffic
or motor vehicle-related contacts.
As stated previously, in 2009, the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 3389, which
modified the existing Racial Profiling Law by adding new requirements; this took effect on
January 1st, 2010. These most recent changes include, but are not exclusive of, the re -definition
of a contact to include motor vehicles where a citation was issued or an arrest made. In addition,
it requires police officers to indicate if they knew the race or ethnicity of the individual be fore
detaining them. Also, the more recent law requires adding "middle eastern" to the racial and
ethnic category and submitting the annual data report to TCOLE before March 1st of each year.
I am pleased to inform you that these additional requirements have been addressed, since 2009,
by the College Station Police Department as it is demonstrated throughout this report.
In an effort to comply with The Texas Racial Profiling Law, the College Station Police
Department commissioned the analysis of its 2015 motor vehicle contact data. Thus, three
different types of data analyses were performed. The first of these involved a careful evaluation
of the 2015 motor vehicle-related data. This particular analysis measured, as required by the
law, the number and percentage of Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Native
Americans, Middle Easterners and individuals belonging to the “other” category, that came in
contact with the police in the course of a motor vehicle related contact, and were either is sued a
citation or arrested. Further, the analysis included information relevant to the number and
percentage of searches (table 1) while indicating the type of search performed (i.e., consensual or
probable cause). Also, the data analysis included the number and percentage of individuals who,
after they came in contact with the police for a motor vehicle -related reason, were arrested.
The additional data analysis performed was based on a comparison of the 2015 motor
vehicle contact data with a specific baseline. When reviewing this particular analysis, it should
be noted that there is disagreement, in the literature, regarding the appropriate baseline to be used
when analyzing motor vehicle-related contact information. Of the baseline measures available ,
the College Station Police Department opted to adopt, as a baseline measure, the Fair Roads
Standard. This particular baseline is based on data obtained through the U.S. Census Bureau
(2010) relevant to the number of households that have access to vehicles while controlling for
the race and ethnicity of the heads of households.
It is clear that census data presents challenges to any effort made at establishing a fair and
accurate racial profiling analysis. That is, census data contains information on all residents of a
particular community, regardless of the fact they may or may not be among the driving
population. Further, census data, when used as a baseline of comparison, presents the challenge
that it captures information related to city residents only. Thus, excluding individuals who may
have come in contact with the College Station Police Department in 2015 but live outside city
limits. In some cases, the percentage of the population that comes in contact with the police but
lives outside city limits represents a substantial volume of all motor vehicle -related contacts
made in a given year.
Since 2002, several civil rights groups in Texas expressed their desire and made
recommendations to the effect that all police departments should rely, in their data analysis, on
the Fair Roads Standard. This source contains census data specific to the number of
“households” that have access to vehicles. Thus, proposing to compare “households” (which
may have multiple residents and only a few vehicles) with “contacts” (an individual-based
count). This, in essence, constitutes a comparison that may result in ecological fallacy. Despite
this, the College Station Police Department made a decision that it would use this form of
comparison (i.e., census data relevant to households with vehicles) in an attempt to demonstrate
its “good will” and “transparency” before the community. Thus, the Fair Roads Standard data
obtained and used in this study is specifically relevant to College Station.
The final analysis was conducted while using the 2002--2009 traffic data and the 2010—
2015 motor-vehicle related data. Specifically, all traffic -related contacts made in 2009 were
compared to similar figures reported in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Similarly,
motor vehicle contact data was compared while using data from 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014
and 2015. There is no question that the comparison of fourteen years of traffic/motor vehicle
contact data highlight areas of consistency with regards to traffic and motor vehicle-related
contacts. That is, the fourteen-year comparison has the potential of revealing indicators that a
possible trend of traffic and motor vehicle-based contacts with regards to members of a specific
minority group, may in fact, develop.
Tier 1 (2015) Motor Vehicle-Related Contact Analysis
When analyzing the Tier 1 data collected in 2015, it was evident that most motor vehicle -
related contacts were made with Caucasian drivers. This was followed by Hispanic and African
American drivers. With respect to searches, most of them were performed on Caucasian drivers.
This was followed by African Americans and Hispanics. It is important to note that the arrest
data revealed that Caucasian drivers were arrested the most in motor vehicle -related contacts;
this was followed by African Americans and Hispanics.
Fair Roads Standard Analysis
The data analysis of motor vehicle contacts to the census data relevant to the number of
“households” in College Station who indicated, in the 2010 census, that they had access to
vehicles, produced interesting findings. Specifically, the percentage of individuals of Caucasian
and Asian descent that came in contact with the police was lower than the percentage of
Caucasian and Asian households in College Station that claimed, in the 2010 census, to have
access to vehicles. With respect to African Americans and Hispanics, a higher percentage of
contacts were detected. That is, the percentage of African American and Hispanic drivers that
came in contact with the police in 2015 was higher than the percentage of African American and
Hispanic households in College Station with access to vehicles.
Fourteen-Year Comparison
The fourteen-year comparison (02-15) of traffic and motor vehicle related -contact data
showed some similarities. As illustrated in table 3, the percentage of drivers (from different
racial/ethnic groups) that came in contact with the College Station Police in 2015 was similar to
the percentage of drivers, from the same racial/ethnic groups that came in contact with the
College Station Police Department from 2002 to 2014. However, a few differences were noted.
When comparing 2015 to the previous years, there was an increase in percentage of contacts
among Hispanic and Asian drivers. A decrease in percentage was detected among Caucasians
and African Americans.
It is clear that commonalities in the data existed, when analyzing the search-related
contacts for all fourteen years. A decrease in percentage was noted among Caucasians; the
opposite was true for African Americans and Hispanics. When considering the arrests made, the
data revealed that the percentage of arrests increased among Hispanics and Asians while a
decrease in percentage was evident among Caucasians and African Americans. It should be
noted that the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 data should be analyzed while considering
that since January 1st of 2010, a contact was re-defined by the law; thus, making it statistically
challenging to compare traffic contacts (collected and reported from 2002 -2009) with motor
vehicle contacts (collected and reported since 2010).
Summary of Findings
The comparison of motor vehicle contacts showed that the College Station Police
Department came in contact (in motor vehicle -related incidents) with a higher percentage of
African American and Hispanic drivers than the percentage that resided in College Station and
had access to vehicles. Further, the data suggested that the percentage of Caucasian and Asian
drivers that came in contact with the police in 2015 was lower than the percentage of Caucasian
and Asian households in College Station with access to vehicles. In addition, the data showed
that in a large number of instances, officers did not know the race or ethnicity of individuals
before detaining them, when compared to instances where officers knew the race/ethnicity of
individuals before they were detained.
An examination of the fourteen-year traffic and motor vehicle-related contact data
suggested that the College Station Police Department has been, for the most part, consistent in
the racial/ethnic composition of motorists it comes in contact with during a given year. The
consistency of contacts for the past fourteen years is in place despite the fact the city
demographics may have changed, thus, increasing the number of subjects likely to come in
contact with the police.
While considering the findings made in this analysis, it is recommended that the College
Station Police Department should continue to collect and evaluate additional information on
motor vehicle contact data (i.e., reason for probable cause searches, contraband detected) which
may prove to be useful when determining the nature of the contacts police officers are making
with all individuals; particularly with African Americans and Hispanics. Although this
additional data may not be required by state law, it is likely to provide insights regarding the
nature and outcome of all motor vehicle contacts made with the public.
As part of this effort, the College Station Police Department is also encouraged to:
1) Perform an independent search analysis on the search data collected in the first
quarter of 2016.
2) Commission data audits in 2016 in order to assess data integrity; that is, to ensure
that the data collected is consistent with the data being reported.
The College Station Police Department has, once again, complied with the Texas Racia l
Profiling Law.

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION
CDBG ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
PROGRAM GUIDELINES
Unless herein stated otherwise, the general operating procedures contained in 24 CFR Part 570
(Community Development Block Grant Program) will be followed.
A. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE & PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The City of College Station (City) Economic Development Program (EDP) is funded through the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds. Additionally, the City may utilize other local, state, or federal resources that become available.
All assistance is under the provisions of 24 CFR § 570, specifically 24 CFR § 570.203 (Special Economic
Development Activities), 24 CFR § 570.209 (Guidelines for Evaluating and Selecting Economic
Development Projects), 24 CFR § 570.210 (Prohibition on use of Assistance for Employment Relocation
Activities), 24 CFR § 570.208 (National Objective Regulations), and 24 CFR § 570.506 (Documentation
Regulations).
Assistance under the EDP will be prioritized for projects that further the City’s economic development
strategy as outlined in the City of College Station Comprehensive Plan, the City of College Station
Economic Development Master Plan, and the City’s Consolidated Plan.
The City must ensure that not less than 70% of its CDBG funds are used for activities that benefit low -and
moderate-income (LMI) persons (at or below 80% of median). This is achieved by granting maximum
feasible priority to activities that meet one of the following federal National Objectives: benefit low - and
moderate-income persons or families; or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or meet an
urgent community development need.
The City’s CDBG Economic Development program achieves the National Objective by providing job and
economic opportunities for LMI persons. City CDBG Economic Development programs provide grants, low
interest rate loans with flexible repayment terms, and other loan products to assist qualifying businesses
who undertake activities resulting in the creation or retention of job opportunities for LMI persons.
B. GENERAL CONDITIONS
Business loans and grants may be provided to eligible business concerns under the following general
conditions, which also include HUD Appendix A, Guidelines and Objectives for Evaluating Project Costs
and Financial requirements, also referred to as HUD’s underwriting guidelines at 24 CFR § 570.209 (a).
Loans can be provided in tandem with commercial financing and must be used to provide “gap” financing
for projects with conventional lenders. The guidelines do not preclude the use of other acceptable
underwriting standards that include at a minimum those found at 24 CFR § 570.209 (a).
C. CDBG National Objective and Public Benefit Determination
Each loan funded must meet a national objective under the CDBG regulations. Inasmuch as the funds were
provided under the economic development activity located at 24 CFR § 570.203 (Special Economic
Development Activities), in order to meet a CDBG national objective the project must:
2
Create a full time permanent job within two years of receiving the funds for each $35,000 of CDBG
funds received by the applicant, or
Meet the presumed benefit of creating a job, if it can documented that
o The employee lives in a census tract with 70% LMI, or
o Lives within an Empowerment Zone (EZ) or Enterprise Community (EC), or
o The employee lives in a census tract with a 20% poverty rate (30% poverty if it includes
the Central Business District (CBD) and evidences pervasive poverty and general distress,
or
o The business /job is located in EC/EZ, or
o The business is located in an area with 20% poverty (30% if the area includes CBD and
evidences pervasive poverty and general distress)
D. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Eligible participants for the EDP include on-going and start-up private, for profit businesses and nonprofit
businesses, that are classified as industrial, commercial, service or retail business, and that are located in
or expanding to the City of College Station. Projects to be financed under the EDP must be located within
the incorporated area of the City of College Station.
No outstanding unpaid judgments or involuntary liens at the time the City’s loan is recorded.
No bankruptcies, which have not been dismissed prior to the recordation.
EDP fund shall not be available for the following business:
1) Speculative investment companies
2) Real estate investment companies
3) Lending institutions
4) Gambling operations
5) Assistance to professional sports teams
6) Acquisition of land for which a specific proposed use has not yet been identified
5) Other businesses not serving the interest of the City
E. JOB CREATION AND RETENTION
The EDP will provide funds to support economic development projects that involve the creation or retention
of permanent jobs, at least 51% of which must benefit LMI persons. In calculating employment
opportunities to be used for determining the percentage of jobs that benefit LMI persons, the following
applies:
Part-time jobs must be converted to full-time equivalents (FTE). An FTE job is any combination of
two or more part-time jobs that, when combined together, constitute the equivalent of a job of at
least 40 hours per week.;
Only permanent jobs count; temporary jobs may not be included;
Seasonal jobs are considered to be permanent if the season is long enough for the job to be
considered as the employee’s principal occupation; and
Jobs indirectly created or retained by an assisted activity are not eligible to be counted.
3
A Public Benefit must be realized by achieving the following:
In the aggregate by creating or retaining at least one full-time (FTE) permanent job per $35,000 of
CDBG funds expended.
On an individual standard, the amount of CDBG funding cannot exceed $50,000 per full -time
(FTE), permanent job created or retained.
The following activities may be excluded from the aggregate standards:
o Those that provide jobs for homeless persons
o Those that provide jobs for low skilled LMI persons where there are clear opportunities for
advancement
o Those that provide opportunities for persons residing in a census tract where at least 20%
of the residents are in poverty
o Those that stabilize or revitalize a neighborhood that has at least 70% LMI residents
If the low and moderate income job creation/retention national objective is not met by a business within t wo
years of receiving the funding, the funding will be required to be returned to the City.

Appendix A
Part 570—Guidelines and Objectives for Evaluating Project Costs and Financial Requirements
I. Guidelines and Objectives for Evaluating Project Costs and Financial Requirements. HUD has
developed the following guidelines that are designed to provide the recipient with a framework for
financially underwriting and selecting CDBG-assisted economic development projects which are financially
viable and will make the most effective use of the CDBG funds. The use of these underwriting guidelines
as published by HUD is not mandatory. However, grantees electing not to use these und erwriting
guidelines would be expected to conduct basic financial underwriting prior to the provision of CDBG
financial assistance to a for-profit business. States electing not to use these underwriting guidelines would
be expected to ensure that the state or units of general local government conduct basic financial
underwriting prior to the provision of CDBG financial assistance to a for-profit business.
II. Where appropriate, HUD's underwriting guidelines recognize that different levels of review are
appropriate to take into account differences in the size and scope of a proposed project, and in the case of
a microenterprise or other small business to take into account the differences in the capacity and level of
sophistication among businesses of differing sizes.
III. Recipients are encouraged, when they develop their own programs and underwriting criteria, to also
take these factors into account. For example, a recipient administering a program providing only technical
assistance to small businesses might choose to apply underwriting guidelines to the technical assistance
program as a whole, rather than to each instance of assistance to a business. Given the nature and dollar
value of such a program, a recipient might choose to limit its evaluation to factors such as the extent of
need for this type of assistance by the target group of businesses and the extent to which this type of
assistance is already available.
IV. The objectives of the underwriting guidelines are to ensure:
(1) That project costs are reasonable;
(2) That all sources of project financing are committed;
(3) That to the extent practicable, CDBG funds are not substituted for non -Federal financial support;
(4) That the project is financially feasible;
Code of Federal Regulations / Title 24 - Housing and Urban Development / Vol. 3 / 2012-04-01175
(5) That to the extent practicable, the return on the owner's equity investment will not be unreasonably
high; and
(6) That to the extent practicable, CDBG funds are disbursed on a pro rata basis with other finances
provided to the project.
i. Project costs are reasonable. i. Reviewing costs for reasonableness is important. It will help the recipient
avoid providing either too much or too little CDBG assistance for the proposed project. The refore, it is
suggested that the grantee obtain a breakdown of all project costs and that each cost element making up
the project be reviewed for reasonableness. The amount of time and resources the recipient expends
evaluating the reasonableness of a cost element should be commensurate with its cost. For example, it
7
would be appropriate for an experienced reviewer looking at a cost element of less than $10,000 to judge
the reasonableness of that cost based upon his or her knowledge and common sense. For a cost element
in excess of $10,000, it would be more appropriate for the reviewer to compare the cost element with a
third-party, fair-market price quotation for that cost element. Third-party price quotations may also be used
by a reviewer to help determine the reasonableness of cost elements below $10,000 when the reviewer
evaluates projects infrequently or if the reviewer is less experienced in cost estimations. If a recipient does
not use third-party price quotations to verify cost elements, then the rec ipient would need to conduct its
own cost analysis using appropriate cost estimating manuals or services.
ii. The recipient should pay particular attention to any cost element of the project that will be carried out
through a non-arms-length transaction. A non-arms-length transaction occurs when the entity
implementing the CDBG assisted activity procures goods or services from itself or from another party with
whom there is a financial interest or family relationship. If abused, non -arms-length transactions
misrepresent the true cost of the project.
2. Commitment of all project sources of financing. The recipient should review all projected sources of
financing necessary to carry out the economic development project. This is to ensure that time and effort
is not wasted on assessing a proposal that is not able to proceed. To the extent practicable, prior to the
commitment of CDBG funds to the project, the recipient should verify that: sufficient sources of funds have
been identified to finance the project; all participating parties providing those funds have affirmed their
intention to make the funds available; and the participating parties have the financial capacity to provide
the funds.
3. Avoid substitution of CDBG funds for non-Federal financial support. i. The recipient should review the
economic development project to ensure that, to the extent practicable, CDBG funds will not be used to
substantially reduce the amount of non-Federal financial support for the activity. This will help the recipient
to make the most efficient use of its CDBG funds for economic development. To reach this determination,
the recipient's reviewer would conduct a financial underwriting analysis of the project, including reviews of
appropriate projections of revenues, expenses, d ebt service and returns on equity investments in the
project. The extent of this review should be appropriate for the size and complexity of the project and
should use industry standards for similar projects, taking into account the unique factors of the p roject
such as risk and location.
ii. Because of the high cost of underwriting and processing loans, many private financial lenders do not
finance commercial projects that are less than $100,000. A recipient should familiarize itself with the
lending practices of the financial institutions in its community. If the project's total cost is one that would
normally fall within the range that financial institutions participate, then the recipient should normally
determine the following:
A. Private debt financing—whether or not the participating private, for-profit business (or other entity
having an equity interest) has applied for private debt financing from a commercial lending institution and
whether that institution has completed all of its financial underwriting and loan approval actions resulting in
either a firm commitment of its funds or a decision not to participate in the project; and
B. Equity participation—whether or not the degree of equity participation is reasonable given general
industry standards for rates of return on equity for similar projects with similar risks and given the financial
capacity of the entrepreneur(s) to make additional financial investments.
8
iii. If the recipient is assisting a microenterprise owned by a low- or moderate-income person(s), in
conducting its review under this paragraph, the recipient might only need to determine that non -Federal
sources of financing are not available (at terms appropriate for such financing) in the community to serve
the low- or moderate-income entrepreneur.
4. Financial feasibility of the project. i. The public benefit a grantee expects to derive from the CDBG
assisted project (the subject of separate regulatory standards) will not materialize if the project is not
financially feasible. To determine if there is a reasonable chance for the project's success, the recipient
should evaluate the financial viability of the project. A project would be considered financially viable if all of
the assumptions about the project's market share, sales levels, growth potential, projections of revenue,
project expenses and debt service (including repayment of the CDBG assistance if appropriate) were
determined to be realistic and met the project's break-even point (which is generally the point at which all
revenues are equal to all expenses). Generally speaking, an economic development project that does not
reach this break-even point over time is not financially feasible. The following should be noted in this
regard:
Code of Federal Regulations / Title 24 - Housing and Urban Development / Vol. 3 / 2012-04-01176
A. some projects make provisions for a negative cash flow in the early years of the project while space is
being leased up or sales volume built up, but the project's projections should take thes e factors into
account and provide sources of financing for such negative cash flow; and
B. it is expected that a financially viable project will also project sufficient revenues to provide a reasonable
return on equity investment. The recipient should ca refully examine any project that is not economically
able to provide a reasonable return on equity investment. Under such circumstances, a business may be
overstating its real equity investment (actual costs of the project may be overstated as well), or it may be
overstating some of the project's operating expenses in the expectation that the difference will be taken
out as profits, or the business may be overly pessimistic in its market share and revenue projections and
has downplayed its profits.
ii. In addition to the financial underwriting reviews carried out earlier, the recipient should evaluate the
experience and capacity of the assisted business owners to manage an assisted business to achieve the
projections. Based upon its analysis of these factors, the recipient should identify those elements, if any,
that pose the greatest risks contributing to the project's lack of financial feasibility.
5. Return on equity investment. To the extent practicable, the CDBG assisted activity should provide not
more than a reasonable return on investment to the owner of the assisted activity. This will help ensure
that the grantee is able to maximize the use of its CDBG funds for its economic development objectives.
However, care should also be taken to avoid the situation where the owner is likely to receive too small a
return on his/her investment, so that his/her motivation remains high to pursue the business with vigor.
The amount, type and terms of the CDBG assistance should be adjusted to allow the owner a reas onable
return on his/her investment given industry rates of return for that investment, local conditions and the risk
of the project.
6. Disbursement of CDBG funds on a pro rata basis. To the extent practicable, CDBG funds used to
finance economic development activities should be disbursed on a pro rata basis with other funding
sources. Recipients should be guided by the principle of not placing CDBG funds at significantly greater
risk than non-CDBG funds. This will help avoid the situation where it is learned that a problem has
9
developed that will block the completion of the project, even though all or most of the CDBG funds going in
to the project have already been expended. When this happens, a recipient may be put in a position of
having to provide additional financing to complete the project or watch the potential loss of its funds if the
project is not able to be completed. When the recipient determines that it is not practicable to disburse
CDBG funds on a pro rata basis, the recipient should consider taking other steps to safeguard CDBG
funds in the event of a default, such as insisting on securitizing assets of the project.

Recommendation(s):Staff recommends Council approve the contract with Alexander’s Contract
Services, Inc. for Electric and Water Meter Reading Services.
Summary:
The City received five (5) RFP responses. The responses were reviewed and Alexander’s Contract
Services, Inc. was chosen to negotiate a contract.
This contract will be for an original term of three years in an amount not to exceed $550,000 per year for
an amount not to exceed a total of $1,650,000 for a three year period with the option to renew for two
additional one year terms for a total of five years.
Alexander’s Contract Services, Inc. has provided meter reading services to municipalities, water districts
and other utility companies since 1968. The City of College Station is requesting the approval of this
contract in order for the reading of electric and water meters to be outsourced. Meter Services continues
to struggle with staffing issues, which causes customers’ utility bills to occasionally be for 34+ days, not
to mention the continued growth in the City causing strain on our current staffing level. Alexander’s
Contract Services, Inc. would perform meter reading daily, for both electric and water meters. They
would also assist in completing Connect and Disconnect work orders during heavy move in and move out
periods in July and August.
Over the three year contract Alexander’s Contract Services, Inc. will provide meter reading services on a
daily basis, and assist in completing work orders as needed in July and August for connect and disconnect
requests.

anticipated that debt will be issued for this portion of the project and this debt will be supported with
the existing tax rate.The “Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse Certain Expenditures with
Proceeds from Debt”is necessary for this item because the long term debt has not been issued for
the project. The debt for this phase of the project is scheduled to be issued later this fiscal year.

based on current forecasts, a tax increase will be required for the construction of the project.

Contractor from its obligations to the City under this Agreement. The Contractor shall appoint and keep
on the Project during the progress of the work a competent Project Manager and any necessary assistants,
all satisfactory to City's Representative, to act as the Contractor's representative and to supervise its
employees and subcontractors. All directions given to the Project Manager shall be binding as if given to

5.03. Unless otherwise stipulated, the Contractor shall provide and pay for all labor, materials, tools,
equipment, transportation, facilities, and drawings, including engineering, and any other services necessary
or reasonably incidental to the performance of the work by the Contractor. It shall be the responsibility of

additional work, material, or equipment needed to meet the intent of this specification shall be supplied by
the Contractor without claim for additional payment, even though not specifically mentioned herein.
5.04. Any injury or damage to the Contractor or the Project caused by an act of God, natural cause, a
party or entity not privy to this Agreement, or other force majeure shall be assumed and borne by the
Contractor.

The Contractor agrees to employ only orderly and competent employees skillful in the performance of the
type of work required, and agrees that whenever City's Representative shall inform the Contractor in writing
that any person or persons on the work are, in his opinion, incompetent, unfaithful, or disorderly, such
person or person shall be discharged from the work and shall not again be re-employed on the site or the
Project without City's Representative's written permission.
7. HOURS OF WORK
The Contractor may work Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays,
or legal holidays. The Contractor may work overtime, weekends, and holidays only when approved in
advance by the City's Representative. The time for Substantial Completion shall not be affected in any way
by inclusion of this section or by the City's consent or lack of consent to work outside of the times specified
in this Agreement.
8. NATURE OF THE WORK
8.01. It is understood and agreed that the Contractor has, by careful examination, studied and compared
the various Drawings and other Contract Documents, satisfied itself as to the nature and location of the
Page 4
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
work, the conditions of the ground and soil, the nature of any structures, the character, quality, and quantity
of the material to be utilized, the character of equipment and facilities needed for and during the
prosecution of the work, the time needed to complete the work, Contractor's ability to meet all deadlines
and schedules required by this Agreement, the general and local conditions, including but not limited to
weather, and all other matters that in any way affect the work under this Agreement. These obligations are
for the purpose of facilitating construction by the Contractor and are not for the purpose of discovering
errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in the Contract Documents; however, any errors, inconsistencies or
omissions discovered, or which reasonably should have been discovered by the Contractor shall be reported
promptly to the City as a request for information in such form as the City may require. However, the
Contractor shall not perform any act or do any work on the Project that places the safety of persons at risk
or potentially damages materials or equipment used in the Project, and the Contractor shall do nothing that
would render any test or tests erroneous.
8.02. Any design errors or omissions noted by the Contractor during this review shall be reported
promptly to the City, but it is recognized that the Contractor’s review is made in the Contractor’s capacity as
a contractor and not as a licensed design professional unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract
Documents. The Contractor is not required to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in accordance
with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations, but any nonconformity
discovered by or which reasonably should have been discovered or made known to the Contractor shall be
reported promptly to the City.
8.03. If the Contractor fails to perform the obligations of Paragraphs 8.01. and 8.02., the Contractor shall
pay such costs and damages to the City as would have been avoided if the Contractor had performed such
obligations. The Contractor shall not be liable to the City for damages resulting from errors, inconsistencies
or omissions in the Contract Documents or for differences between field measurements or conditions and
the Contract Documents unless the Contractor recognized or reasonably should have recognized such error,
inconsistency, omission or difference and knowingly failed to report it to the City.
9. POST-AGREEMENT AWARD MEETINGS
9.01. Prior to the commencement of the work, the parties shall meet and attend a post-agreement award
meeting at the time and place determined by City's Representative. At the post-agreement award meeting,

the completion of stages of work hereunder.

Page 5
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
9.02. The City's Representative, within five (5) working days after the initial post-agreement award
conference or any other meetings, may submit minutes of the meeting to the Contractor. The Contractor
shall thereafter have five (5) working days to review the minutes and make its objections, changes, or
reductions thereto in writing. The Contractor shall thereafter sign the minutes and promptly return them to
City's Representative. Where there is disagreement, City's Representative will make the final determination.
10. PROGRESS OF WORK
10.01. Unless otherwise specifically provided, the Contractor shall prosecute its work at such time and
sessions, in such order of precedence, and in such manner as shall be most conducive to the economy of the
Project; provided, however, that the order and time of prosecution shall be such that the Project shall be
Substantially Completed in accordance with this Agreement, the plans and specifications, and within the
time of completion designated in the schedules agreed upon by the parties.
10.02. Further, the parties shall be subject to the following:
(a) The Contractor shall submit a progress schedule and payment schedule of the work
contemplated by this Agreement at the initial post-agreement award meeting and subsequent
meetings.
(b) City's Representative shall be entitled to make objections to the Contractor's schedule
submitted herein. The Contractor shall promptly resubmit a revised schedule to City's
Representative.
(c) The Project Superintendent/Manager shall coordinate its activities with City's
Representative. If required by the City, the Contractor shall provide a weekly schedule of planned
activities, which may be reviewed on a daily basis.
(d) The Contractor shall submit, at such time as may reasonably be requested by City's
Representative, additional schedules that shall list the order in which the Contractor proposes to
carry on the work with dates at which the Contractor will start the several parts of the work and the
estimated dates of completion of the several parts.
(e) The Contractor shall attend additional meetings called by City's Representative upon twenty-
four (24) hours written notice unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.
(f) When the City is having other work done, either by agreement or by its own force, City's
Representative may direct the time and manner of work done under this Agreement so that conflicts
will be avoided and the various work being done by and for the City shall be coordinated.
(g) In the event that it is determined by the City that the progress of the work is not in
accordance with the approved progress and payment schedule, the City may so inform the
Contractor and require the Contractor to take such action as is necessary to insure completion of the
Project within the time specified.
10.03. The process of approving Contractor’s schedules and updates to Contractor’s schedules shall not
constitute a warranty by the City that any non-Contractor milestones or activities will occur as set out in the
Contractor’s schedules. Approval of a contractor’s schedules does not constitute a commitment by the City
to furnish any City-furnished information or material any earlier than the City would otherwise be obligated
to furnish that information or material under the Contract Documents. Failure of the Work to proceed in
the sequence scheduled by Contractor shall not alone serve as the basis for a Claim for additional
compensation or time. In the event there is interference with the Work which is beyond its control,
Contractor shall attempt to reschedule the Work in a manner that will hold the additional time and costs
beyond its control to a minimum. The Contractor shall monitor the progress of the Work for conformance
Page 6
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
with the requirements of the construction schedules and shall promptly advise the City of any delays or
potential delays. In the event any schedule indicates any delays, the Contractor shall propose an affirmative
plan to correct the delay. In no event shall any schedule constitute an adjustment in the Contract Time, any
Milestone Date or the Contract Sum unless any such adjustment is agreed to by the City and authorized
pursuant to Change Order.
10.04. Work Stoppage. If in the judgment of either the City or City's Representative any of the work or
materials furnished is not in strict accordance with this Agreement or any portion of the work is being
performed so as to create a hazardous condition, they may, in their sole discretion, order the work of the
Contractor or any sub contractor wholly or partially stopped until any objectionable person, work, or
material is removed from the premises. Such stoppage or suspension shall neither invalidate any of the
Contractor's performance obligations under this Agreement, including the time of performance and
deadlines therefore, nor will any extra charge be allowed the Contractor by reason of such stoppage or
suspension.
11. SITE CONDITIONS AND MANAGEMENT
11.01. Where the Contractor is working around or in existing structures, it shall verify conditions at the
site, including but not limited to, door openings and passages. Any items constructed or manufactured off-
site or outside of buildings shall be done so that they are not too bulky for existing facilities. The
Contractor shall provide special apparatus as required to handle any such items. All special handling
equipment charges shall be at the Contractor's expense. Further, Contractor shall include in its price for the
Work, all labor, materials, equipment and/or engineering services required to protect the adjacent properties
and/or structures from damage due to performance of the Work.
11.02. The Contractor shall be responsible for all power, light, and water required to perform the work.
11.03. Throughout the progress of the work, the Contractor shall keep the working area free from debris
of all types, and remove from premises all rubbish, resulting from any work being done by him. At the
completion of the work, the Contractor shall leave the premises in a clean and finished condition. Any
failure to do so may be remedied and charged back to the Contractor.
11.04. Layout of Work. Except as specifically provided herein, the Contractor shall lay out all work in a
manner acceptable to City's Representative in accordance with applicable City of College Station codes and
ordinances. City's Representative will review the Contractor's layout of all structures and any other layout
work done by the Contractor at the construction meeting, or at the Contractor's request, but this review
does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility of accurately locating all work in accordance with the
plans and specifications.
11.05. Lines and Grades. All lines and grades shall be furnished by the Contractor. Benchmarks and
control stakes have been provided by the City’s Representative. All benchmarks and control stakes shall be
carefully preserved by the Contractor. In case of destruction or removal of the same by the Contractor, its
subcontractors, or employees, such stakes, marks, etc. shall be replaced by the Contractor at the
Contractor's expense. If the Contractor fails to do so, the City may do so and charge back the Contractor.
Additional construction staking as needed for the work, including lines and grades, shall be the sole
responsibility of the Contractor, and the Contractor shall receive no extra time or compensation therefor.
11.06. Contractor's Structures. The building or locating of structures for housing men or the erection of
tents or other forms of protection will be permitted only at such places as City's Representative shall permit.
The Contractor shall not damage the property where such structures are allowed and shall at all times
maintain sanitary conditions in and about such structures in a manner satisfactory to the City. The City may
charge the Contractor for any damage or injury to the City, its property, or third persons as a result of the
location or use of such structures.
Page 7
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
11.07. The Contractor and any entity over whom the Contractor has control shall not erect any sign on the
Project site without the prior written consent of the City.
11.08. City may have other work related to the Project performed at the Project site during the time the
Work is performed. Contractor should schedule its Work to coordinate with the work of other contractors
and utilities with the understanding that some of that work may be performed at times other than as set out
in the Contract Documents or as otherwise anticipated. City will endeavor to have such other work
performed so as not to unduly interfere with Contractor's performance when Contractor notifies City of
specific reasonable needs well in advance of those needs and where it is possible to do so. Although
Contractor should anticipate some delays and interference to its sequence of Work because of work by
other contractors and utilities, and will not be entitled to either an extension of time or additional
compensation because of them, in the event of substantial delay caused by another contractor or a utility,
after advance notice of its needs by Contractor, Contractor will be entitled to make a claim for an extension
of time as provided herein.
11.09. When two or more contractors, including Contractor, are employed on related or adjacent work or
obtain materials from the same material source, or when work must be completed by one contractor before
another can begin, each shall conduct his operations in such a manner as not to cause any unnecessary delay
or hindrance to the other. Each contractor, including Contractor if applicable, shall be responsible to the
other for all damage to work, to persons, or to property caused to the other by his operations, and for loss
caused the other due to unreasonable or unjustified delays or failure to finish the work or portions thereof,
or furnish materials within the time requested. Should Contractor cause damage to the work or property of
any separate contractor at the Project site, or should any claim arising out of Contractor's separate
contractor at the Project site, or should any claim arising out of Contractor's performance of the Work at
the Project site be made by any separate contractor against Contractor, City or other consultants, or any
other person, Contractor shall promptly attempt to settle with such other contractor by agreement, or to
otherwise resolve the dispute. Contractor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws,
indemnify and hold City harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses
(including, but not limited to, fees of architects, attorneys and other professionals and court costs)
arising directly, indirectly or consequentially out of any action, legal or equitable, brought by any
separate contractor against City to the extent based on a claim arising out of Contractor's
negligence.
12. MATERIALS
12.01. Materials or work described in words that when so applied have well-known technical or trade
meaning shall be held to refer to such recognized standards. All work shall be done and all materials
furnished in strict conformity with this Agreement, the other Contract Documents, and recognized industry
standards. When specific products, systems or items of equipment are referred to in the Contract
Documents, any ancillary devices necessary for connecting the products, systems or items of equipment
shall also be provided. When standards, codes, manufacturer’s instructions and guarantees are required by
the Contract Documents, the current edition at the time of Contract execution shall apply, unless another
edition is specified in the Contract Documents. References to standards, codes, manufacturer’s instructions
and guarantees shall apply in full, except (1) they do not supersede more stringent standards set out in the
Contract Documents, and (2) any exclusions or waivers that are inconsistent with the Contract Documents
do not apply.

Page 8
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
agreement reserving unto seller any right, title, or interest therein. Title to all materials, but not risk of loss,

of the City, accept delivery of the materials set forth in the attached "List of Materials Ordered by the City".
Under such circumstances, the Contractor shall promptly forward to the City for payment the supplier's
invoice together with the Contractor's receipt in writing for such materials.
(a) Upon acceptance of the materials furnished or ordered by the City, the Contractor warrants
that it shall properly handle, transport, store and safeguard the materials.
(b) Further, the Contractor shall repair, repaint or replace any and all materials or any part
thereof damaged or stolen while in its possession. Such materials are considered to be in the
Contractor's possession from the moment the Contractor either accepts delivery of the materials or
signs a receipt accepting delivery of said materials until the Project is accepted by the City's
Representative.
(c) Before transporting any of the materials furnished or ordered by the City, the Contractor
shall establish to the City's satisfaction that it has obtained insurance against losses, theft, damage,
equal to or greater than the amounts spent by the City in securing said materials. It shall be
incumbent upon the Contractor to verify the cost of materials.
(d) The City shall not be obligated to furnish materials in excess of the quantities, size, kind, and
type set forth in the attached List of City Furnished Materials and List of Materials Ordered by the
City. If the City furnishes, and the Contractor accepts, materials in excess thereof, the values of
such excess materials shall be their actual cost as stated by the City.
(e) Upon delivery, the Contractor shall promptly receive, unload, transport, and handle all
materials and equipment on the List of Materials Ordered by the City at its expense and shall be
responsible for all shipping costs.
12.04. Materials and supplies shall be new and of good quality. Upon request, the Contractor shall
supply proof of quality and manufacturer. No refurbished, reconditioned, or other previously utilized
materials or supplies will be used without the prior signed authorization of City's Representative. The
Contractor may utilize substitutes of equal quality and function only upon the prior written authorization of
the City's Representative. The City's Representative may require documentation as to quality and function,
including manufacturer's specifications, to insure that the proposed substitute is equal to the required
material or supply. The City's Representative shall have sole discretion over the use of substitute materials
and supplies. Contractor shall bear the risk of any delay in performance caused by submitting substitutions.
12.05. Only materials and equipment which are to be used directly in the Work shall be brought to and
stored on the Project site by the Contractor. After equipment is no longer required for the Work, it shall be
promptly removed from the Project site. Protection of construction material and equipment stored at the
Project site from weather, theft, damage and all other perils is solely the responsibility of the Contractor.
13. ENTRY, OBSERVATION, TESTING & POSSESSION
13.01. The City reserves the right to enter the Project site or sites by such employee(s) or agent(s) as it may
elect for the purpose of inspecting the work. The City further reserves the right to enter the Project site or
sites for the purpose of performing such collateral work as the City may desire.
Page 9
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
13.02. The City's Representative shall have the right, at all reasonable times, to observe and test the work.
The Contractor shall make necessary arrangements and provide proper facilities and access for such
observation and testing at any location where the work or any part thereof is in preparation or progress.
The Contractor shall ascertain the scope of any observation that may be contemplated by City's
Representative and shall give ample notice as to the time each part of the work will be ready for observation.
13.03. The City's Representative may require Contractor to remove, dismantle, or uncover completed
work. If the work is not in accordance with the plans, specifications, or other Contract Documents, the
Contractor shall pay the costs of repair and restoration of the work required to be removed, dismantled, or
uncovered. Unless Contractor is obligated to provide advance notice of inspection, prior to covering up the
work, and fails to do so, if the work is in accordance with the plans, specifications, and other Contract
Documents, the City shall pay the costs of repair and restoration of the work.
13.04. City shall have the right to take possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions
of the Project prior to the time for completing the entire Project or such portions which may not have
expired. The parties agree and understand that possession and use shall not constitute an acceptance of any
work not completed in accordance with this Agreement. Further, insurance changes required to keep
Contractor’s insurance in effect shall be the responsibility of Contractor.
14. REJECTED WORK
14.01. All work deemed not in conformity with this Agreement as determined by the City in its sole
discretion, may be rejected by the City. City's Representative may reject any work found to be defective or
not in accordance with the Contract Documents, regardless of the stage of the work's completion or the
time or place of discovery of such defects or inconsistencies and regardless of whether City's Representative
has previously accepted the work through oversight or otherwise. Neither observations nor inspections,
tests, or approvals made by City's Representative, or other persons authorized under this Agreement to
make such observations, inspections, tests, or approvals, shall relieve the Contractor from the obligation to
perform the work in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the other Contract
Documents.
14.02. If the work or any part thereof is rejected by the City, it shall be deemed by City's Representative as
not in conformity with this Agreement. Any remedial action required, as set forth herein, shall be at the
Contractor's expense, as follows:
(a) The Contractor may be required, at the City's option, after notice from City's Representative,
to remedy such work so that it shall be in full compliance with this Agreement. All rejected work or
materials shall be immediately replaced in order to conform with this Agreement.
(b) If the City deems it inexpedient to correct work damaged or not done in accordance with
this Agreement, an equitable deduction from the agreed sum may be made by the City at the City's
sole discretion.
15. SUBCONTRACTING & SUBCONTRACTORS
15.01. The Contractor agrees that it will retain personal control and will give its personal attention to the
fulfillment of this Agreement. The Contractor further agrees that subletting of any portion or feature of the
work or materials required in the performance of this Agreement shall not relieve the Contractor from its
full obligation to the City as provided by this Agreement.
15.02. Subcontractors must be approved by City's Representative prior to hiring or beginning any work on
the Project. If City's Representative judges any subcontractor to be failing to perform the work in strict
accordance with the drawings and specifications, the Contractor, after due notice, shall discharge the same,
but this shall in no way release the Contractor from its obligations and responsibility under this Agreement.
Page 10
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
Every subcontractor shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Contract
Documents as far as applicable to their work. The Contractor shall be fully responsible to the City for the
acts and omissions of its subcontractors. Nothing contained herein shall create any contractual or
employment relations between any subcontractor and the City.
16. PAYMENT
16.01. The City stipulates that it is an exempt organization as defined by the Limited Sales, Excise and Use
Tax Act and, as such, is exempt from the payment of the sales tax on materials and supplies used in the
performance of this Contract. The Contractor shall issue exemption certificates to its suppliers and
Subcontractors in lieu of said sales tax for all such materials and supplies, and said exemption certificates
must comply with the State Comptroller’s Ruling No. 95-0.07 and shall be subject to the provision of the
State Comptroller’s Ruling No. 95-0.09, effective October 1, 1969.
16.02. Progress Payment Applications. The Contractor shall submit applications for payment as
provided for herein. Applications for payment will be processed by City's Representative. Before the first
Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit to the City a schedule of values allocated to various
portions of the Work, prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the
City may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the City, shall be used as a basis for reviewing the
Contractor’s Applications for Payment. On or before the 5th day of each month, the Contractor shall
submit to City's Representative, for approval or modification, a statement showing as completely as
practicable the total value of the actual work performed by the Contractor and accepted by the City up to
and including the last day of the preceding month. The statement shall also include the value of all
materials not previously submitted for payment which have been delivered to the site but have not yet been
incorporated into the work.
16.03. Progress Payments. On or before the 30th calendar day following the City's receipt of a progress
payment application made in conformity with Paragraph 16.02, the City shall pay to the Contractor the
approved amount of the progress payment based on the Contractor's applications for payment, and the
recommendation and approval of City's Representative. Prior to Substantial Completion, progress
payments will be made in an amount equal to the percentage of work completed by the Contractor and
approved by the City, but in each case less the aggregate of payments previously made, less retainage, and
less amounts as City's Representative shall determine and the City may withhold in accordance with this
Agreement. Upon Final Completion, including the delivery of all close out documents, such as “as built”
drawings, warranties, guarantees, required additional materials, releases, operation and maintenance manuals,
and acceptance of the work in accordance with this Agreement, the City shall pay the remainder of the
balance due under this Agreement, less any sums withheld under other terms of this Agreement and less the
retainage, which shall be retained for a period of thirty (30) calendar days from the date of Final
Completion. Acceptance of retainage by Contractor shall constitute a Waiver and Release of all claims by
Contractor.
16.04. Retainage. From each approved statement, the City shall retain until final payment, ten percent
(10%), where the full contract amount is less than $400,000.00, and five percent (5%), where the full
contract amount is $400,000.00 or more. The City may also retain from each approved statement any other
sums authorized under the terms of this Agreement.
16.05. If the actual amount of work to be done and the materials to be furnished differ from estimates and
where the basis for payment is the unit price method, then payment shall be for the actual amount of
accepted work done and materials furnished on the Project.
16.06. Reduction in the scope or quantity of work on unit price items shall merely reduce the number of
units. In the event that materials have been delivered prior to notice of such reduction, the City will have
the option either to pay freight & transportation costs and any re-stocking charges actually incurred by the
Page 11
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
Contractor or to purchase the materials. The Contractor shall never be entitled to anticipated or lost profits
on the deleted or reduced portion of a job, whether bid on a unit price or lump sum basis.
16.07. The Contractor shall have the sole obligation to pay any and all charges or fees and give all notices
necessary to and incidental to the lawful prosecution of the work hereunder. The Contractor shall not and
shall have no authority whatsoever to obligate the City to make any payments to another party nor make any
promises or representation of any nature on behalf of the City, without the specific written approval of the
City.
16.08. The Contractor shall include in the Contract Sum all allowances stated in the Contract Documents.
Items covered by allowances shall be supplied for such amounts and by such persons or entities as the City
may direct, but the Contractor shall not be required to employ persons or entities to whom the Contractor
has reasonable objection.
16.09. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents:
(a) allowances shall cover the cost to the Contractor of materials and equipment delivered at the
site and all required taxes, less applicable trade discounts;
(b) Contractor’s costs for unloading and handling at the site, labor, installation costs, overhead,
profit and other expenses contemplated for stated allowance amounts shall be included in
the Contract Amount but not in the allowances;
(c) whenever costs are more than or less than allowances, the Contract Amount shall be
adjusted accordingly by Change Order. The amount of the Change Order shall reflect (1)
the difference between actual costs and the allowances under Paragraph 16.9(a) and (2)
changes in the Contractor’s costs under Paragraph 16.9(b).
16.10. Suspension of Payments. The City, at any time, may suspend monthly progress payments on the
work if it determines that the projected liquidated damages may exceed retainage. The City, at any time,
may suspend monthly progress payments if it believes that the Contractor will not complete the work due to
actual default or that the Contractor has represented or done some act that indicates that it will not
complete the work in accordance with this Agreement or within the time period submitted in its bid.
Provided, however, City is in no way obligated to Contractor’s surety to withhold payment pursuant to the
provisions of this Paragraph.
16.11. Withhold Funds. Regardless of any bond, the City may, on account of subsequently discovered
evidence and in addition to the retainage withheld under Paragraph 16.04, withhold funds or nullify all or
part of any acceptance or certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect itself from loss on
account of any of the following, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement:
(a) Defective work.
(b) Claims made or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims by unpaid vendors
or other third parties.
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make prompt payments to subcontractors for labor or material
or materialmen.
(d) Claims made or reasonable evidence indicating claims will be made for damage to another
by the Contractor.
(e) Claims made or reasonable evidence indicating claims will be made for damage to third
parties, including adjacent property owners.
(f) Claims made or reasonable evidence indicating claims will be made for unremedied damage
to property owned by the City.
(g) City's determination of an amount of liquidated damages.
(h) Charges made for repairs to the Contractor's defective work or repairs made by the City to
correct damage to other property.
Page 12
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
(i) Other amounts authorized under this Agreement or under any other agreement made
between City and Contractor.
Provided, however, City is in no way obligated to Contractor’s surety to withhold payment pursuant to the
provisions of this Paragraph.
17. EXTRA WORK CHARGES
17.01. No changes shall be made, nor will bills for changes, alterations, modifications, deviations, and extra
orders be recognized or paid for except upon the written order from authorized personnel of the City.
17.02. For "Extra Work", as defined in Paragraph 1.07 and authorized through written change orders, and
pursuant to Section 252.048(d) of the Texas Local Government Code, the original contract price may not be
increased by more than twenty-five percent (25%). Written change orders that do not exceed twenty-five percent
(25%) of the original contract amount may be made or approved by the City Manager or his delegate if the
change order is less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00). Changes in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000.00) must be approved by the City Council prior to commencement of the services or work. Any
requests by the Contractor for a change to the Contract Amount shall be made prior to the beginning of the
work covered by the proposed change or the right to payment for Extra Work shall be waived. No course
of conduct or dealings between the parties, nor implied acceptance of alterations or additions to the Work
or changes to the Contract schedule shall be the basis for any claim for an increase in compensation or
change in time. Any cost incurred by Contractor in connection with any Extra Work shall be included in
Contractor’s requested change order and Contractor’s failure to include any such cost shall act to Waive and
Release any claim for such non included cost.
17.03. The Contractor shall complete all work as specified or indicated in the Contract Documents. The
Contractor shall complete all Extra Work in connection therewith. All work and materials shall be in strict
conformity with the specifications. The Substantial Completion of the work shall not excuse the Contractor
from performing all the work undertaken, whether of a minor or major nature, and thereby completing the
Project in accordance with the Contract Documents. In the event that the Contractor fails to perform the
work as required for Substantial Completion or Final Completion, the City may contract with a third party
to complete the work and the Contractor shall assume and pay the costs of the performance of the work as
contracted.
(a) It is agreed that the Contractor shall perform all Extra Work under the direction of City's
Representative when presented with a written work order signed by City.
(b) No claim for Extra Work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in writing by the
City. In case any orders or instructions appear to the Contractor to involve Extra Work for which it
should receive compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, it shall make written request
to City's Representative for a written order from City authorizing such Extra Work.
(c) Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute Extra Work, or
as to the payment therefor, and the City insists upon its performance, then the Contractor shall
proceed with the work after making written requests for written orders in a change order and shall
keep adequate and accurate account of the actual field costs therefor, as provided under Method C.
(d) It is also agreed that the compensation to be paid to the Contractor for performing Extra
Work shall be determined by one or more of the following methods:
Method A - By agreed unit prices, or
Method B - By agreed lump sum, or
Page 13
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
Method C - If neither Method A nor Method B is agreed upon before the Extra Work is
commenced, then the Contractor shall be paid the actual field cost of the
work.
(e) Method A - Unit Prices. The Contractor agrees to perform Extra Work for the unit prices
in the Contractor's Proposal. The Contractor also agrees and warrants that when it is necessary to
construct units not shown in the Contract Documents, it shall construct such units for a price
arrived at as follows:
(1) The cost of materials shall be determined by the invoices;
(2) The cost of labor shall be the reasonable cost thereof, as determined by the City, but
in no event shall it exceed an amount determined by calculating the ratio of the total labor
costs to the total costs to the total material costs in the section of the Proposal involved, and
multiplying the cost of materials for the unit in question by this ratio. Provided, however,
that the ratio shall be calculated for only those units that are similar to the new unit for
which a price is to be determined.
(f) Method B - Lump Sum. The lump sum shall be reasonably close to the amount for similar
work previously done or combinations of similar units. Invoices for materials used shall be
provided in support of the agreed lump sum.
(g) Method C - Actual Field Costs. The actual field cost is hereby defined to include the cost
of all applicable workmen and laborers, as well as materials, supplies, teams, trucks, rentals on
machinery and equipment, for the time actually employed or used for such Extra Work, plus actual
transportation charges necessarily incurred, together with other costs reasonably incurred directly on
account of such Extra Work, including social security, old age benefits, maintenance bonds, public
liability, property damage, worker's compensation, and all other insurance as may be required by law
or ordinances or required and agreed to by the City or City's Representative. City's Representative
may direct the form in which accounts of the actual field costs shall be kept and records of these
accounts shall be made available to City's Representative. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices
for the use of machinery and equipment shall be determined by using one hundred percent (100%),
unless otherwise specified, of the latest schedule of equipment and ownership expenses adopted by
the Associated General Contractors of America. Where practical, the terms and prices for the use of
machinery and equipment shall be incorporated in the written Extra Work order. Actual field costs
shall not exceed the prevailing market price therefor within reasonable tolerances as determined by
City's Representative. The amount due to Contractor for costs other than actual field costs shall be
calculated in accordance with the following standards:
(1) No indirect or consequential damages will be allowed.
(2) All damages must be directly and specifically shown to be caused by a proven wrong.
No recovery shall be based on a comparison by planned expenditures to total actual
expenditures or on estimated losses of labor efficiency, or on a comparison of planned
manloading to actual manloading, or any other analysis that is used to show damages
indirectly.
(3) Damages are limited to extra costs specifically shown to have been directly caused by a
proven wrong.
(4) The maximum daily limit on any recovery for delay shall be the amount established by
the Contractor for job overhead costs, defined in the pay applications, divided by the
total number of days specified for completion called for in the original Contract. Absent
Page 14
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
an overhead amount in the Schedule of Values, the amount estimated by Contractor for
job overhead cost shall be used.
18. TIME OF COMPLETION
18.01. The date of beginning, the time for Substantial Completion and Final Completion of work as
specified in this Agreement are of the essence of this Agreement.
18.02. The work embraced by this Agreement shall be commenced on the date specified in the notice to

Substantially Completed. Within ten (10) calendar days after the Contractor has given City's Representative
written notice that the work has been Substantially Completed, City's Representative shall inspect the work
for the preparation of a final punch list.
(a) If City's Representative and the City find that the work is not Substantially Completed, then
they shall so notify the Contractor who shall then complete the work. City's Representative shall not
be required to provide a list of unfinished work.
(b) If the City Representative and City find that the work is Substantially Completed, the City
shall issue to the Contractor its certificate of Substantial Completion.
19.02. The Substantial Completion of the work shall not excuse the Contractor from performing all of the
work undertaken, whether of a minor or major nature, and thereby completing the Project in accordance
with the Contract Documents.
20. FINAL COMPLETION
20.01. Contractor shall notify the City's Representative when it believes that the work has reached Final
Completion as defined in Paragraph 1.08. If the City's Representative and the City accept and deems such
work Finally Complete, then Contractor shall be so notified and certificates of completion and acceptance,
as provided herein, shall be issued. A complete itemized statement of this Agreement account, certified by
the City's Representative as correct, shall then be prepared and delivered to Contractor. Contractor or City,
as the case may be, shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement within thirty (30) calendar days.
20.02. The Contractor shall procure all required certificates of acceptance or completions issued by state,
municipal, or other authorities and submit the same to the City. The City may withhold any payments due
under this Agreement until the necessary certificates are procured and delivered.
20.03. Neither the final payment nor any acceptance nor certificate nor any provision of this Agreement
shall relieve the Contractor of any responsibility for faulty workmanship or materials. At the option of the
City, the Contractor shall remedy any defects and pay for any damage to other work which may appear after
final acceptance of the work.
Page 15
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
21. DELAYS
21.01. The Contractor, in undertaking to complete the work within the times herein fixed, has taken into
consideration and made allowance for all hindrances and delays incident to such work, whether growing out
of delays in securing material or workmen or delays arising from inclement weather or otherwise.
21.02. The City may, in its sole discretion, delay the work during inclement weather in order to preserve the
Project, insure safety of work forces, and the preservation of materials and equipment. In such event and
upon a written request from the Contractor, the City may grant an extension of time pursuant to Paragraph
22 to offset for such stoppage of the work.
21.03. In the event of delays resulting from changes ordered in the work by the City or other delays caused
by the City or for the City’s convenience, the Contractor may apply to the City for recovery of incidental
damages resulting from increased storage costs or other costs necessary to protect the value of the work. In
no event shall any consequential or other damages be allowed or any other charges or claims be made by the
Contractor for hindrances or delays resulting from any other cause.
22. EXTENSIONS OF TIME
The Contractor has submitted its proposal in full recognition of the time required for the completion of this
Project, taking into consideration all factors including, but not limited to the average climatic range and
industrial conditions. The Contractor has considered the liquidated damage provision of this Agreement
and understands and agrees that it shall not be entitled to, nor will it request, an extension of time for either
Substantial Completion or Final Completion, except when the work has been delayed by one or more of the
following:
(1) an act or neglect of the City, the City's Representative, employees of the City, or other contractors
employed by the City;
(2) by changes ordered in the work, or reductions thereto approved in writing;
(3) by "rain days" (days with rainfall in excess of one-tenth of an inch) during the term of this
Agreement that exceed the average number of rain days for such term for this locality, both as
determined by the Texas A&M University weather service; or
(4) by other causes that the City and the Contractor agree may reasonably justify delay and that were
beyond the Contractor’s reasonable control and ability to estimate, predict, or avoid, such as delays
caused by unforeseen labor disputes, fire, natural disasters, acts of war, and other rare and
unpredictable events. This term does not include normal delays incident to the delivery of
materials, tools, or labor that reasonably could have been predicted and/or accounted for in the
Contractor’s proposal or decision to bid.
If one or more of the foregoing conditions is present, the Contractor may apply in writing for an extension
of time, within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the event causing the delay, submitting therewith all
written justification as may be required by the City's Representative. Within ten (10) calendar days after
receipt of a written request for an extension of time, which is supported by all requested documentation, the
City shall, in writing and in its sole discretion, grant or deny the request. Under no circumstances shall any
extension of time by the City be valid and binding unless it is in writing and in conformity with the other
terms of this Agreement.
23. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
23.01. The time for the Substantial and Final Completion of the work described herein are reasonable
times for the completion of each, taking into consideration all conditions, including but not limited to the
average climatic conditions and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality. The amount of
liquidated damages for the Contractor's failure to meet the deadlines for Substantial and/or Final
Page 16
Form Revised on 7-10-12
Contract No. 16300179
Completion are fixed and agreed on by the Contractor because of the impracticability and extreme difficulty
in fixing and ascertaining the actual damages that the City would in such an event sustain. The amounts to
be charged are agreed to be damages the City would sustain and shall be retained by the City from current
periodic estimates for payment or from final payment.
23.02. As a result of the difficulty in estimation, calculation and ascertainment of City’s damages due to a
failure of Contractor to achieve timely completion of the Work, if the Contractor should neglect, fail, or
refuse to either Substantially Complete or Finally Complete the work within the time herein specified, or any
proper extension thereof granted by the City's Representative pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 22 of this
Agreement, then the Contractor does hereby agree as part of the consideration for the awarding of this
Agreement that the City may permanently withhold from the Contractor's total compensation the sum of
ONE HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($100.00) for each and every calendar day that the
Contractor shall be in default after the time stipulated for Substantial Completion and/or Final Completion,
not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for the breach of this Agreement. It being specifically
understood that the assessment of liquidated damages may be made for any failure to meet either or both of
the deadlines specified for Substantial Completion and/or Final Completion.
24. CHARGES FOR INJURY OR REPAIR
24.01. The Contractor shall be liable for any damages incurred or repairs made necessary by reason of its
work and/or caused by it. Repairs of any kind required by the City will be made and charged to the
Contractor by the City.
24.02. The Contractor shall take the necessary precautions to protect any areas adjacent to its work.
24.03. The work specified consists of all work, materials, and labor required by the City to repair any
damage to the property of the City, including but not limited to structures, roadways, curbs, parking areas,
and sidewalks.
25. WARRANTY
25.01. Upon issuance of a certificate of Final Completion, the Contractor warrants for a period of one (l)
year as follows:
The Contractor warrants that all materials provided to the City under this Agreement
shall be new unless otherwise approved in advance by City's Representative and that
all work will be of good quality, free from faults and defects, and in conformance
with this Agreement, the other Contract Documents, and recognized industry
standards.
25.02. All work not conforming to these requirements, including but not limited to unapproved
substitutions, may be considered defective.
25.03. This warranty is in addition to any rights or warranties expressed or implied by law and in addition
to any consumer protection claims arising from misrepresentations by the Contractor.
25.04. Where more than a one (l) year warranty is specified for individual products, work, or materials, the
longer warranty shall govern.
25.05. This warranty obligation shall be covered by any performance or payment bonds tendered in
compliance with this Agreement.

29.02. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the Contract Amount and the Contractor fails to pay
the amount due to the City within the time designated and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools,

Contractor. Such sale may be made at either public or private sale, with or without notice, as City's
Representative may elect. City's Representative shall release any machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or
supplies which remain on the job site and belong to persons other than the Contractor to their proper

Contract No. 16300179
E. The Contractor shall obtain from each person providing services on a project, and provide to the
governmental entity:

coverage showing extension of coverage, if the coverage period shown on the current
certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project.
F. The Contractor shall retain all required certificates of coverage for the duration of the project
and for one year thereafter.
G. The Contractor shall notify the governmental entity in writing by certified mail or personal

project.

by the Division of Workers Compensation, informing all persons providing services on the
project that they are required to be covered, and stating how a person may verify coverage and

services on a project, to:
(1) provide coverage, based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts
and filing of any coverage agreements, that meets the statutory requirements of Texas
Labor Code, Section 401.011(44) for all of its employees providing services on the
project, for the duration of the project;
(2) provide to the Contractor, prior to that person beginning work on the project, a
certificate of coverage showing that coverage is being provided for all employees of the
person providing services on the project, for the duration of the project;

will provide services on the project will be covered by workers’ compensation coverage for the
duration of the project; that the coverage will be based on proper reporting of classification
codes and payroll amounts; and that all coverage agreements will be filed with the appropriate
insurance carrier or, in the case of a self-insured, with the Commission’s Division of Self-
Insurance Regulation. Providing false or misleading information may subject the Contractor to
administrative penalties, criminal penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions.
K. The Contractor’s failure to comply with any of these provisions is a breach of contract by the
Contractor that entitles the governmental entity to declare the contract void if the Contractor
does not remedy the breach within ten calendar days after receipt of notice of breach from the
governmental entity.” VIII. Certificates of Insurance shall be prepared and executed by the insurance company or its authorized agent, and shall contain the following provisions and warranties: A.

Summary: The applicant is requesting a PDD Planned Development District zoning on approximately
seven acres to build a Nursing Home. The PDD uses a base zoning district of O Office.
The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for zoning map
amendments:
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:The subject property is located within the
Medical District Master Plan, which aims to support the City’s goal of designating a special
district that will establish identity, promote continuity, and invite significant new investment to
fulfill the demand for medical and health care related uses in the emerging medical district and
in the City of College Station. The subject property is designated as Medical Use on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map.
Land Use - Medical Use: a pedestrian-friendly area intended to provide a concentration of
medical-related uses. Uses include all medical services, rehabilitation, sports medicine,
psychiatric, laboratories, pharmacies, senior housing, assisted living, hotels, and education.
The proposed PDD Planned Development District zoning uses a base zoning district of O
Office to allow for a nursing home and rehabilitation facility. The rezoning request is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map and the Medical District
Plan.
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood:To the west is Scott and White Hospital. To the
east and north, across Rock Prairie Road are large acreage single-family/agricultural tracts
zoned R Rural. The area to the south is currently zoned O Office and developed for single-
family use.
The area on the east side of Highway 6 is developing in line with the Medical District Plan.
This rezoning is compatible with continued medical development in the area.
3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The proposed PDD
uses a base zoning district of O Office and adds the use of Extended Care
Facility/Convalescent/Nursing Home. Located directly adjacent to the Scott and White Hospital
in close proximity to other medical services, major thoroughfares, and residential development
the property is suitable for a nursing home.
4.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:The subject
property is currently zoned O Office. Uses permitted in this district include, education facilities,
medical clinics, and offices which are in line with the Medical District Plan. Located near other
medical uses, major thoroughfares, and given the amount of residential property in the area, this
property is suitable for these uses.
5.Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:The property is
currently zoned O Office and is currently marketable as such.

File #:16-0104,Version:1
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use:There is an existing 8-inch waterline along the
south side of Double Mountain Road, as well as an 18-inch water main on the south side of
Rock Prairie Road adjacent to the tract. There is also a 6-inch sanitary sewer line along the
north side of Double Mountain Road. Recent analysis of the downstream lift station has shown
that there are capacity limitations, and further site development will necessitate lift station
improvements. The applicant has acknowledged this issue and will address the capacity needs
as part of the platting and site development. Detention is required in this area, where stormwater
from the site generally discharges to the east within the Lick Creek Drainage Basin. Drainage
and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed
in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines.
The property is adjacent to Rock Prairie Road, a Four-Lane Major Arterial and will have
access to Medical Avenue, a Two-Lane Major Collector. The Comprehensive Plan
Thoroughfare Plan also shows a future Two-Lane Minor Collector along the southern boundary
of the subject area. The proposed use would generate approximately 60 trips in the peak hour.
Due to the limited traffic associated with the proposed use, a Traffic Impact Analysis was not
required.
REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN
The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed building and
parking areas as well as other site related features. In proposing a PDD, an applicant may also
request variations to the general platting and site development standards provided that those
variations are outweighed by demonstrated community benefits of the proposed development. The
Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria as the basis for reviewing
PDD Concept Plans:
1.The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony
with the character of the surrounding area;
2.The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the
intent and purpose of this Section;
3.The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not
adversely affect adjacent development;
4.Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public
street directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners
association;
5.The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not
limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities;
6.The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
7.The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle,
or pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by
the proposed use and other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing zoning
and land uses in the area.

General:The proposed Concept Plan proposes a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility that will
treat residents needing long term medical care. The building will have a maximum height of 35
feet. Access points from Medical Avenue and Rock Prairie Road are proposed.
Modification Requested:O Office is proposed as the base zoning district with a modification to
add Extended Care Facility/Convalescent/Nursing home as a permitted use.
Community Benefits:The applicant offers the following as community benefits:
•The project will benefit the community because it is aligned with and will help further the
Medical Plan. As described in the Medical Plan’s development guidelines, the character of
buildings in the Medical District “should reflect central Texas traditions in terms of material and
articulation”. The character of the project will reflect this, and will include a Texas vernacular
landscape utilizing native and adaptive native plants.
•The project will help to further the Medical Plan by addressing one of the key themes of the
stakeholder’s meetings. As noted, a key theme was the “need for additional senior housing and
senior care facilities”. This project would provide a new state-of-the-art senior care facility to
serve College Station residents.
