2. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the general roles of the Research
Valley Partnership and the City in economic development activities.
David Gwin, Director of Economic and Community Development, presented a brief overview of
the RVP history which was incorporated in 1989 as the Bryan College Station Economic
Development Corporation. It was formed to coordinate the regional economic development
activities for both cities and the county. It was re-branded as the Research Valley Partnership in
2003. Their responsibilities include regional target industries such as biotechnology, customer
service and back office operations, corporate headquarters and operations, technology transfer,
etc. There are three major deliverable areas: Administration (planning, communications,
compliance, finance); Corporate Relations (business development, marketing, communications,
TAMU partnerships); and Innovation (RVIC, international gateway, TAMU partnerships, access
to capital, Research Angel Fund and Aggie Angel Network and the emerging network fund).
Administrative primary incentives per guidelines include tax abatement, performance-based
financial assistance, developed land, and brokerage fees for locations in the Business Center at
College Station. Cash incentives, per guidelines, may be granted from one city, or from Brazos
County, or from one city and Brazos County, or the Brazos County Incentive Fund.
The City’s responsibilities for target development encompass retail (meets sales tax, capital
investment or payroll thresholds, fills leakage gaps, is entertainment related, and fulfills Specific
Development Goals); tourism/hospitality asset development; commercial or special district
development such as the Medical Corridor; historical/arts development, and redevelopment.
Economic development deliverables include general economic development activities (with
incentives, permit fast tracking, assistance with city codes and ordinances, networking,
recruitment, administration of the Enterprise Zone Program, administration of TIRZ, PID, etc.,
and special event promotion/facilitation. Primary incentives that can be offered by the City are
general incentives (utility infrastructure, road, drainage, or other infrastructure, waiver of permits
and fees, expedited municipal planning, infrastructure over-sizing) and performance based
incentives (tax abatements, etc.) Recent projects include TIPS, TIGM, Reynolds and Reynolds,
Lynntech, and the Bio-Corridor Master Planning effort. Large-scale retail development has been
accomplished with Gander Mountain, Lowes, and HEB. Examples of smaller-scale retail
development include Ninfa’s, Shiraz Shish Kabob, Fuzzy’s Taco, Fuego Tortilla Grill, Genghis
Grill, and Chuys. Reinvestment/Expansion efforts were provided to the Central Station
Shopping Center, Walmart, The Med, and the proposed Post Oak Mall renovation. The Medical
Corridor and the College Station Business Advisory Committee are a part of the long-term
visioning and planning.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Crompton and a second by
Councilmember Maloney, the City Council voted six (6) for and none (0) opposed, for the
Council to work with Dr. Girior and the City of Bryan to directly negotiate the terms of
engagement for the Research Valley Partnership. The motion carried unanimously.

WKSHP112210 Minutes Page 3
Council also provided direction regarding future economic development engagement upon the
appointment of the College Station Business Advisory Committee.
3. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the process and timeline for
determination of potential City-wide impact fees for Water and Wastewater.
David Coleman, Director of Water Services, reported that the City is a good candidate for impact
fees. The policy question tonight is do we want to shift a portion of the cost to increase
Water/Wastewater plant capacity away from the existing rate-payers and on to the new arrivals?
Tony Bagwell, HDR Austin, explained that an impact fee is a one-time, up-front payment levied
on new or expanded development for its capital cost impact placed on the utility system. This
helps growth to pay for itself. City-wide impact fees are considered because it increases equity
among all he customers and helps to mitigate future rate increases. Overall fees are made up of
component fees, such as water (supply/treatment, storage and transmission) and wastewater
(treatment, pumping and interceptors). The maximum fee is determined by defining the impact
fee service area and land use, projecting water and wastewater service demands, comparing
existing capacity, identifying the amount and cost of existing available capacity and new facility
needs, and then allocating current and future service demands to the facilities. Impact fees are
typically assessed at the final plat and cannot be increased unless there is a change in demand.
They are typically collected with the building permit, and as such, the actual collection of the
impact fee usually occurs 12 to 18 months after the ordinance is adopted.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Maloney and a second by Councilmember
Lyles, the City Council voted four (4) for and two (2) opposed, with Councilmembers Fields and
McMillan voting against, to proceed with the study. The motion carried.
4. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an update on sustainability
efforts and implementation of projects funded through the Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Block Grant.
There was no discussion on this item.
5. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding potential amendments to the
Bryan / College Station Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) By-Laws.
David Gwin, Director of Economic and Community Development, reminded the Council that an
issue arose over the number of elected officials serving on the CVB in spring 2010. Staff
presented the CVB’s proposed amendments on June 10, 2010. Council embraced the
amendments with several changes/clarifications. A redlined version was presented to the CVB,
and they have agreed to not allow professional staff to serve on the Board of Directors. They
also agree to include additional sections to the bylaws as they relate to matters of governance.
However, they are unable to agree to reserving approval/veto power of bylaw changes. The
Council was presented with two options: 1) approve the provision allowing the veto of
10
WKSHP112210 Minutes Page 4
governance matters to be extended to both cities; or 2) rely on College Station’s majority
representation on the Executive Board to decide all matters.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Maloney and a second by Councilmember
Fields, the City Council voted two (2) for and three (3) opposed, with Mayor Berry, and
Councilmembers Lyles and McMillan voting against, and Councilmember Crompton abstaining,
to retain veto power. The motion failed.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Lyles and a second by Councilmember
Fields, the City Council voted five (5) for and none (0) opposed, with Councilmember Crompton
abstaining, to accept majority representation to make the decisions. The motion carried.
6. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding setting a date for a Council mid-

Chris Scotti, 7701 Gettysburg Court, representing the Northgate District Association,
commended staff for their efforts on pedestrian improvements along University Drive in the
Northgate area. However he just found out this past week that TXDOT is requesting the design
phase be completed much sooner than anticipated. The Northgate District Association planned
to start meeting with stakeholders in January since the holidays make it difficult to receive
stakeholder input. He also reported that TXDOT is proposing a raised curb that will remove
flexibility for the street being opened at certain times. If the bollards are installed at street level,
then they can be installed earlier. He asked the Council to raise this issue with TXDOT.

REGULAR AGENDA
1. Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an Ordinance
amending Chapter 12, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Section 4.2, “Official Zoning
Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, specifically rezoning
97.932 acres from A-O Agricultural Open, C-1 General Commercial, C-2 Commercial
Industrial, and R-4 Multi-Family to PDD Planned Development District for 4005 State
Highway 6, generally located southeast of the intersection of State Highway 6 and Rock
Prairie Road.
At approximately 8:00 p.m. Mayor Berry opened the Public Hearing.
Brock Bailey, 1445 Ross, Dallas, Texas, voiced his approval of the proposal.
Neal Briers, 17990 Bella Lago, stated he is excited about Scott & White expanding their
presence here. As to the location of Medical Avenue and the discussion on Tract 5, he said that
Mr. Perry is easygoing and easy to get along with. He was one of the first persons Mr. Perry
spoke with about the land swap with Scott and White. Mr. Perry’s desire is to come to an
agreement that will work well for everyone, and Scott and White has been a little harsh in their
representation.
Noelle Perry, 3600 Rock Prairie Road, stated that she is not opposed to the medical corridor or
the Scott and White project as a whole. Their only issue is Medical Drive. They live on 25 acres
on that adjacent tract, and they are a College Station family that owns commercial property in the
17
RM112210 Minutes Page 5
community. Their country life would be no more. They have been quiet throughout all the
discussions on this tract of land. When Weingarten plowed down the trees on the corner, they
were quiet, yet they were the ones most impacted. She reported that Scott and White approached
them regarding a land swap, but then Scott and White changed a sensible layout and did not have
the decency to inform them. The Perry’s have tried to find a more reasonable plan for Tract 5.
They have been told that the developer must only meet the minimum requirements. However,
College Station expected more from the Perry’s when they built their homeowner property. She
expects more than minimum requirements from an organization that has been in existence more
than 100 years. She requested that the Council show consideration for her property. She should
not have to fight for reasonable access to Medical Avenue.
Brian Perry, 3600 Rock Prairie Road, stated he was optimistic when he met with Scott and White
and City staff last Friday. He reported that the land swap looked like good deal at time. He
conferred with Chuck Ellison, who asked about zoning and what restrictions were being placed
on them. His first realization that the deal was no more was at the Planning and Zoning meeting
when he noticed the roads had been redrawn. He was surprised they had not notified him. He
met with Mr. Ellison to discuss what he should do now. They asked Scott and White if they
would sell the three acre strip. He was told the price was over $300,000. He counter-offered,
and they stopped talking. Scott and White wanted to swap for three acres at the intersection of
Lakeway and Medical Avenue, but that would cut the Perry’s off. Tract 5 is a buffer against the
neighbors and future development and referred to it as a spite strip. He fears that strip will never
be developed.
Chuck Ellison, 2902 Camille Drive, said there are differences in their understanding. The
Perry’s are asking Council to approve this rezoning with three conditions: 1) that the platting of
Tract 5 occur with the first phase so that the access points will be installed; 2) that Lakeway be
realigned because the current alignment leaves a strip between the Perry property and the
roadway; and 3) realign Medical Avenue as close to the boundary of the Perry property as
possible, minimizing the controlled access in the reserved strip (this will still leave a strip which
is not a preference, but it is technically still the same geometrically). He reiterated that they did
not know the deal was gone until the project came before Planning and Zoning. At the end of the
day, Scott and White wants a buffer, and they’ve wanted it for a long time. This realignment
creates more usable land, even for Scott and White and allows for the free flow of traffic from
Rock Prairie.
Paul Grier, 9100 Waterford Drive, asked if the exit onto Rock Prairie is a right in and right out
only? He expressed concern with traffic coming through the neighborhood and stated that being
an open area encourages fast drivers. He asked the Council to see if the area needs more stop
signs. He also inquired about the possibility of speed reduction lanes.
John Cunningham, counsel with Scott and White, said they will agree to platting Tract 5 in the
first phase and will build the street to give the Perry property access to Medical Avenue. They
also do not object to the Lakeway realignment. They will not agree to the third condition.
Brain Perry stated, after hearing Mr. Cunningham’s concessions to his first two requests, that he
will withdraw his protest.

4 Multi-Family to PDD Planned Development District for 4005 State Highway 6, generally
located southeast of the intersection of State Highway 6 and Rock Prairie Road, with the
meritorious modifications recommended by staff and the conditions agreed upon by Mr. Perry
and Scott and White. The motion carried unanimously.
2. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a real estate contract and the
conveyance of approximately 30 acres of property between the College Station Independent
School District, the City, the Research Valley Partnership and Scott & White Healthcare.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Maloney and a second by Councilmember
Fields, the City Council voted six (6) for and none (0) opposed, to approve the real estate

voting against, to approve the Economic Development Agreement between the City and Scott &
White Healthcare. The motion carried.
4. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding future updates to the City of
College Station Unified Development Ordinance – Sections 3 and 8 (Subdivision
Regulations).
Bob Cowell, Director of Planning and Development, presented to the Council a summary of
proposed substantive changes to Subdivision Regulations Standards, specifically Article 8.
These changes will consolidate subdivision standards into stand-alone City and ETJ sections,
implement the Comprehensive Plan, provide developer flexibility, and modernization efforts.
Language has been clarified to better fit with the Comp plan. These changes will come back
before the Council on January 13 for consideration.
No action was required by the Council.

2011 Health Plan Expenditures
January 1, 2011 – December 31, 2011
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Alison Pond, Human Resources Director
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on approving total
health plan expenditures for the period of January 1, 2011 through December 31,
2011. The projected amount for both the renewals and total projected expenditures
is $7,574,073.48.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of 2011 health plan
expenditures.
Summary: The Blue Cross and Blue Shield medical and dental plan 2011 renewals
are the third and final renewal of the original contract. The City’s health plan
includes:
§ Blue Cross and Blue Shield - Medical/Dental/Prescription/Stop Loss Coverage;
§ Minnesota Life – Basic Life Insurance and Accidental death and
dismemberment;
§ Deer Oaks - Employee Assistance Program;
§ Daily Access - Flexible Spending Account Administration; and
§ United Health Care - Vision Plan
An RFP was sent out for stop loss reinsurance and BCBS was the only carrier to
provide a proposal. Our benefits consultants were able to recommend slight policy
changes and negotiate better rates. However, BlueCross/BlueShield requested no
increase to the dental administration fees and provided a decreased medical
administrative fee for adding prescription drug coverage.
The City’s Basic Life/AD&D, programs are currently under a rate guarantee period
and therefore will renew at the existing rate structure.
The 2010 plan year projected costs are based on a monthly average of 878
employees on the plan. This represents a cost to the City of approximately $719 per
employee per month.
Budget and Financial Summary: Funds are available and budgeted in the
employee benefits fund.

Third Party Administrator Services for Fiscal Year 2011
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Alison Pond, Human Resources Director
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding contract renewal
for Third-Party Claims Administration with A S & G Claims Administration Inc., for an annual
expenditure of $52,000. Anticipated FY11 workers compensation claims are $225,000 and
anticipated FY11 liability claims are $300,000.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal I.1 Spending taxpayer money efficiently
Recommendation(s): In September 2008, Abercrombie Simmons & Gillette, Inc. was
selected from a group of ten proposals for Third-Party Claims Administration. The approved
contract provided for four (4) one-year renewals. Staff recommends renewal of the contract
with A S & G Claims Administration, Inc., for the City’s Third-Party Claims Administration,
and authorization to pay up to $525,000 for anticipated Workers’ Compensation and Liability
claims.
Summary: The City of College Station is self-insured, which requires claims adjustment
services on all workers’ compensation claims and significant liability claims. A S & G Claims
Administration, Inc. has provided excellent customer service while continuing to assist the
City in reducing claims administration costs. This is the second renewal option and is
effective October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds are available in the Property/Casualty Fund and the
Workers’ Compensation Fund of the FY11 budget to pay this premium and to pay
anticipated claims.

Consent Agenda Item No. 2f
Renewal of Annual Purchasing Agreement for Dewatering Chemical
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: David Coleman, Director of Water Services
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the renewal of an
annual purchasing agreement for dewatering chemical (polymer) with Fort Bend Services,
Inc. not to exceed $39,200, and an annual purchasing agreement for dewatering chemical
(polymer) with Atlantic Coast Polymer, Inc. not to exceed $172,560.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Financially sustainable city providing response to core
services and infrastructure.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends renewal of these annual purchasing agreements.
Summary: Polymer is a water treatment chemical that aids in the separation of solids from
wastewater. It concentrates the solids in wastewater sludge for efficient treatment,
allowing the removal of excess water for treatment and disposal. Three separate processes
use polymer for solids removal:
Ø the Carters Creek WWTP thickening process
Ø the Carters Creek WWTP centrifuge process
Ø the Lick Creek WWTP centrifuge process.
Invitation to bid #08-83 received bids from three vendors. Performance trials were
conducted with products from all three companies. The products that were most cost
effective in these trials result in the following projected annual costs:
Ø Fort Bend Services’ projected annual cost for the Carters Creek WWTP thickening
process was $39,200.00.
Ø Atlantic Coast Polymer’s projected annual cost for the Carters Creek WWTP
centrifuge process was $137,520.00.
Ø Atlantic Coast Polymer’s projected annual cost for the Lick Creek WWTP centrifuge
process was $35,040.00.
Fort Bend Services and Atlantic Coast Polymer have expressed a willingness to renew these
annual agreements despite the fact that these chemicals are derived largely from petroleum
and petroleum prices continue to fluctuate. Their prices are fair and reasonable, and the
products continue to perform well, so staff recommends approval of the renewal.
Budget & Financial Summary: Wastewater Operating funds are budgeted and available
for the anticipated amount of polymer usage.

Project Number WF1223117
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Chuck Gilman, Director of Public Works
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Professional Services
Contract 11-063 with Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. for $406,641.00 for design, bidding, and
construction phase services for the Dowling Road High Service Pump Station Improvement
Project.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal I, Financially Sustainable City Providing Response
to Core Services and Infrastructure.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of this professional services
contract.
Summary: The scope of the project is the design of improvements to the Dowling Road
High Service Pump Station to increase the firm pumping capacity from 22,000 gallons per
minute (GPM) to 29,000 GPM. This expansion will keep the City’s firm pumping capacity
within the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality rules for municipal water supply
systems based on projected growth. Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. was selected for this project as
part of RFQ #10-19.
Budget & Financial Summary: The P.O. for the project design is $406,641. $2,500,000
is budgeted for this project in the Water Capital Improvement Projects Fund. $115,321 has
been expended or committed to date, leaving a balance of $2,384,679 for design and
construction. The majority of the construction is scheduled to occur in FY12.

Sanitary Sewer Lift Station
Professional Services Contract
Project Number WF1338390
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Chuck Gilman, Director of Public Works
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Professional Services
Contract 11-064 with Jones & Carter, Inc. for $242,000.00 for design, bidding, and
construction phase services for a lift station to be constructed near the intersection of Rock
Prairie Road and State Highway 6.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal I, Financially Sustainable City Providing Response
to Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of this professional services
contract.
Summary: The proposed Scott & White Hospital, located at the southeast corner of North
State Highway 6 and Rock Prairie Road, needs sewer service by June 2012. The scope of
this professional services contract is for design and construction administration for a new lift
station that will provide sewer service to the proposed Scott & White Hospital. The
construction plans will include a force main design that will carry the flow from the lift
station along the Highway 6 Frontage Road and discharge in to the Spring Creek gravity
sewer line, approximately 3,000 feet north of William D. Fitch Parkway. The consultant will
also evaluate the possibility of extending a gravity pipeline from the existing City of College
Station Lift Station No. 3 site to this new lift station site which could allow the City to
decommission Lift Station No. 3. The new lift station will be designed to accommodate the
wastewater flow from all parcels of the Scott and White development.
Budget & Financial Summary: The contract amount for this project is $242,000.00. The
estimated total cost for this project (design and construction) is $1,500,000. Funds for this
project will come from several sources: $500,000 will come from the Wastewater Capital
Improvement Projects Fund, $500,000 will come from the Economic Development Fund,
$250,000 will be the cash contribution from Scott and White, and $250,000 will come from
Scott and White in the form of a land donation for a future water tower. The land being
donated is valued at $250,000 and will offset a future necessary land purchase by the Water
Fund.
This project was established as part of a development agreement approved by Council on
November 22, 2010. The project was not anticipated when the FY 2011 budget was
developed and was not included in the FY 2011 Wastewater Capital Improvement Projects
Fund. Current and forecasted wastewater utility rates do not support the addition of the
project without a corresponding rate increase. Therefore, construction on the South
Knoll/The Glade Rehabilitation project will be deferred until the potential budget shortfall
can be addressed.
Design for this project is estimated for FY 2011 and the majority of the construction is
estimated to occur in FY 2012. This project will be included on a future FY 2011 budget
amendment to establish the budget for design and construction.

South Knoll/The Glade Utility Rehabilitation Project
Professional Services Contract Change Order
Project Numbers WF1044480 & WF1044485
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Chuck Gilman, Director of Public Works
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a change order to the
Professional Services Contract 09-070 with Weston Solutions, Inc. for an increase in the
amount of $103,647.00 to the South Knoll/The Glade Utility Rehabilitation Project.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal I, Financially Sustainable City Providing Response
to Core Services and Infrastructure and Goal II.1, Preserving and restoring older
neighborhoods.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the change order.
Summary: The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate deteriorating water and
wastewater utilities in the area generally bounded by Haines, Southwest Parkway, Glade,
and Langford. Currently many of the existing sanitary sewer lines are located in utility
easements at the rear of the home. Having these pipelines at the rear of the house creates
challenges for city crews to access the infrastructure to perform maintenance and cleaning.
Therefore, the pipelines are being relocated into the right-of-way in front of the houses.
Doing so will require that the gravity sanitary sewer service connection be routed from the
rear of the house through the front yard to the new sewer line in the street.
The original project approach was to require the construction contractor to hire a licensed
plumber to develop a detailed plan to reroute each service connection to the new gravity
sewer line to be constructed in the right-of-way. Staff is recommending that the project
scope be revised to include the design of the service connections in this contract. Doing so
will place the design responsibility of the gravity sewer line and the service connection on
the design engineer. In addition, the arborist on the design team will be able to assist the
engineer in determining a route for new service connections to ensure any adjacent trees
are not negatively impacted.
Please note, that this change order simply reduces the scope of work for the construction
contractor and increases the scope of work for the design engineer, so the net impact to the
project budget is negligible. Plus, the inclusion of this change order will increase the overall
design fee to 11% of project cost, which is very reasonable for a rehabilitation project. The
reasonable cost, combined with the advantage of one party being responsible for design,
makes this change order a prudent action that staff recommends approving.
Budget & Financial Summary: Change Order No. 3 will increase the contract amount by
$103,647 for a revised contract total of $472,530. $2,246,738 is budgeted for this project in
the Water Capital Improvement Projects Fund and $2,052,223 is budgeted for this project in
the Wastewater Capital Improvement Projects Fund. A total of $374,500.65 has been
expended or committed to date, leaving a balance of $3,924,460.35 for this change order
and construction. This increase will be applied to the Wastewater Capital Improvement
Project Fund.

Annual Contract for Gasoline and Diesel Fuel
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Jeff Kersten, Chief Financial Officer
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action and discussion on renewing the annual
contract for gasoline and diesel fuel (Contract #10-054) with Brenco Marketing Corporation
(Bryan, TX) for one year; and authorize the annual estimated expenditures of
$1,252,000.00.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal I.1. Spending taxpayer money efficiently
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the renewal of the contract and
authorize estimated annual expenditures totaling $1,252,000.00 to Brenco Marketing
Corporation. The contract has firm fixed prices for profit and delivery, allowing the City to
pay cost (which fluctuates) plus markup. The terms and conditions of the original
agreement remain unchanged for the renewal term. The annual estimated expenditures are
based on the anticipated annual fuel usage and the average price per gallon over the past
year for gasoline and diesel.
Summary: Texas A&M University formally solicited bids for gasoline and diesel fuel for
itself and on behalf of several local agencies including: City of College Station, City of Bryan,
Brazos County, Bryan ISD and College Station ISD. Four (4) sealed bids were received and
opened on July 20, 2009. Brenco Marketing Corporation’s bid offered the best value
meeting specifications.
This renewal agreement will allow the City to renew the agreement for a term of one year,
December 20, 2010 through December 19, 2011. This is the first of four possible renewal
terms available. Fuel is placed in inventory and is available at two (2) locations: Public
Works Fleet Operations and Public Utilities Warehouse.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds are available and budgeted in each fund.
Expenses are charged to the appropriate fund/department as fuel is used.

Agreement for cooperative purchasing activities between the City of College Station and City
of Fort Worth.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal I.1. Spending taxpayer money efficiently
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the Interlocal Agreement.
Summary: This agreement would authorize the City of College Station and City of Fort
Worth to jointly prepare bids and proposals for the purchase of goods and services. It
would also allow us to piggyback on each others bids and contracts when in our best
interest. Particularly, the City of Fort Worth has a contract with JP Morgan Chase for
Procurement Card services that staff is interested in piggybacking that will provide the City
of College Station with potential rebate revenue.
Budget & Financial Summary: No expenses will be incurred to approve the Interlocal
Agreement. Future savings may be realized through economies of scale in administrative,
advertising and other purchasing costs.

Agreement with JP Morgan Chase for commercial card services related to our procurement
card program.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal I.1. Spending taxpayer money efficiently
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the Participation Agreement.
Summary: City Council approved the original contract for procurement commercial card
services in February 1999 with Bank of America. The banking industry has evolved and due
to mergers the City is currently utilizing JPMorgan Chase for our procurement card program.
By simply joining the Fort Worth consortium for card services, our program will not need to
change, but we can expect to receive rebate revenue due to the increased aggregate
volume realized through the consortium.
Budget & Financial Summary: No expenses will be incurred to approve the Participation
Agreement. Future revenue through rebates may be realized through the new agreement
with JPMorgan Chase by piggybacking the Fort Worth agreement.

Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the resolution declaring intention
to reimburse certain expenditures with proceeds from debt.
Summary: Council approved the construction contract for this project on October 25,
2010 (Consent Agenda Item 2k). On projects for which the expenditures will occur prior to
the debt issue, a resolution declaring intention to reimburse certain expenditures with
proceeds from debt must be adopted within 60 days of expenditure. The resolution is
typically adopted at the time the contract is awarded, but was inadvertently left off of the
agenda when the item was brought to Council.
Budget & Financial Summary: 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 this project. This debt is scheduled to be issued later this
fiscal year.

From: David Schmitz, Interim Director, Parks and Recreation Department
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an update to the
Intergovernmental Contract between the City of College Station and the City of Bryan for
the operation of the Larry J. Ringer Public Library.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Goal I - Financially Sustainable City Providing Response to Core Services and Infrastructure
Item 1 - Spending taxpayer money efficiently
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends acceptance and approval of the

Summary: This item is the culmination of an in-depth review by both cities staffs to
update the agreement between the City of Bryan and the City of College Station to

System. This agreement has been in effect since July 1, 1986. The current ILA was last
updated and approved in 2006. Since the original agreement, many additions and
procedures had been altered to accommodate technology and the growth of the system.
This updated contract encompasses those changes. In addition, it sets up a scheduled
review process. This item has been placed on the Bryan City Council agenda for December
7, 2010 for their approval.
Budget & Financial Summary: The contract has a formula which calculates the cost of
operations for that fiscal year, as well as a method to “true up” any repayments at year
end. The proposed FY11 payment to City of Bryan:
FY11 Payment for O&M = $966,905
FY11 Payment for books = $40,000 (note: $20,000 from GF and $20,000 from book fund)
FY11 Total payment to Bryan = $1,006,905
In addition, College Station funds $62,896 out of General Fund for the physical assets
(utilities, fleet, insurance, building repairs).
FY11 Total Library Budget = $1,069,801

revenue, endowments and other financial resources not generated as revenue from the
provision of library services will be excluded from this calculation. At the end of each
budget cycle actual expenditures shall be offset by credits pursuant to the formula as set
forth in Exhibit “A.”
7.05 At the time the proposed costs for College Station Library Services and janitorial
services are submitted by BRYAN as described in this article, the BRYAN City Manager
or his representative shall include a cover letter indicating what amounts, if any, remain
unspent or unencumbered or how much is still owed for which there is an insufficient
budgeted amount from the College Station Library Services and janitorial services line
items that were adopted as part of the budget for the College Station Library Costs for
the most recently closed fiscal year. Said funds shall be applied as an adjustment to or
against the next fiscal year’s College Station Library Services, as the case may be.
7.06 In the event this Agreement is terminated, all unspent or unencumbered funds and all
remaining revenue allocations shall be promptly remitted to COLLEGE STATION.
7.07 The computation of the actual amount to be paid by COLLEGE STATION to BRYAN
each fiscal year shall be as described in “Exhibit A”.
7.08 No budgetary transfer of funds involving capital accounts shall be made without the
approval of the COLLEGE STATION City Manager or his representative.

i5 Replacement Project and a
Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse Certain
Expenditures with Proceeds From Debt
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Ben Roper, IT Director
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding approval
for the purchase of two (2) IBM System i Servers, respective Operating System (OS)
and backup software, High Availability (HA) data replication software, and related
supplies for an amount not to exceed $200,000, and approval of a resolution
declaring intention to reimburse certain expenditures with proceeds from debt.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal I.1 Spending taxpayer money efficiently
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the purchases and
recommends approval of the resolution declaring intention to reimburse certain
expenditures with proceeds from debt.
Summary: This project will replace the servers that run the City’s enterprise
software solution, including Financials, Utility Billing, Planning, Permitting, Work
Orders, Human Resources, and Payroll among others. The machines to be replaced,
in production since January of 2005, are at high risk for increased hardware failure
and other problems due to age of the system. Additionally, the existing system is
experiencing performance degradation in the form of slower response times for
users, and storage space is reaching capacity.
To obtain best value for the city, the initial purchase will be to SPSVar, LLC, for the
server hardware, OS software, and data migration services in the amount of
$139,134, to be eligible to take advantage of year-end price breaks. After functional
testing and evaluation of several options for HA software, an additional purchase of
up to $36,000 will be made to SPSVar, LLC, or our existing HA software vendor,
Vision Solutions. Additional backup tapes and other related supplies will also be
purchased as the project implementation timeframe, scheduled for the end of
January 2011, nears.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds in the amount of $200,000 are budgeted for
this project (CO1101) in the General Government Capital Improvement Projects
Fund. No funds have been expended or committed to date. The purchases to SPSVar,
LLC are made under terms and conditions of IBM GSA Schedule 70 Contract #GS-
35F-4984H. 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 the project is scheduled to be issued
later this fiscal year.

Server Consolidation and Electronic Storage Modernization
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Ben Roper, Information Technology Director
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding approval of a contract
with MicroAge of College Station for computer network equipment, software and services to
provide improved electronic data storage and management in an amount not to exceed
$177,802.58.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval.
Summary: Electronic data storage for electronic files currently exceeds 8 Terabytes
(8,000,000,000,000 bytes, or 8 trillion bytes), and is growing at the rate of 12% - 18% per year.
The city has managed file storage by purchasing hard disk drives with individual servers for
storing these files. This method is no longer feasible as storage space needs increase. There is an
immediate need to implement an enterprise storage solution that can be centrally controlled and
managed.
In September, the City released RFP 11-07 requesting proposals for implementing an enterprise
storage management system. The City received 8 responses to the RFP. Of these responses, 1 did
not address the requirements stated in the RFP and was ruled as non-responsive. A team
evaluated the remaining responses and selected the top four vendors, who were invited to
provide additional information regarding their proposals and to answer questions. Through this
process, the lead vendor, MicroAge of College Station, was selected.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funding is available in the Capital Improvement Projects fund,
Project # CO 0901 and CO0801 in the amount of $169,836.92. The remaining funds in the
amount of $7,965.66 will be transferred from other technology capital projects.

Food Waste, Multifamily and Commercial Collection
Franchise Amendment – Brazos Valley Recycling
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Hayden Migl, Assistant to the City Manager
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action and discussion on the first reading of a
franchise agreement amendment with Brazos Valley Recycling to add the collection of food
waste for the purpose of recycling, multifamily apartments and commercial businesses to its
agreement.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: V. Green Sustainable City
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval.
Summary: The proposed amendment would add the collection of food waste for the
purpose of recycling as well as adding service to multifamily apartments and commercial
businesses to the list of services that can be provided by Brazos Valley Recycling through its
current non-exclusive five (5) year franchise agreement. Brazos Valley Recycling is currently
limited to collecting only construction and demolition debris for recycling purposes.
The company will be responsible for developing onsite collection of the food waste and
recyclables and that they are not collecting municipal solid waste.
Section 120 of the City Charter states that "The City of College Station shall have the power
by ordinance to grant any franchise or right mentioned in the preceding sections hereof,
which ordinance, however, shall not be passed finally until it shall have been read at three
(3) separate regular meetings of the City Council."

FM 2818/Jones Butler Waterline Conflict Change Order
Work Order Number WF1272122
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Chuck Gilman, Director of Public Works
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a change order
to the design contract (Contract No.10-210) with Mitchell and Morgan in the amount of
$12,700.00 for the FM 2818/Jones Butler Waterline Conflict project.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal I, Financially Sustainable City Providing Response
to Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the change order.
Summary: The FM 2818/Jones Butler Waterline conflict is a project that arose due to the
construction of the overpass at FM 2818 and FM 2154 (Wellborn Road). During that
construction by TXDOT’s contractor, a 30” transmission waterline owned by the City of
College Station was uncovered in TXDOT ROW. TXDOT gave the City of College Station the
opportunity to develop and design an alternative solution to this resolve conflict in lieu of
relocating the waterline, such as modifying some of the site grading or adding a storm
water collection system.
The City entered into a contract with Mitchell and Morgan to develop and design an
alternative solution as staff felt that modifications to the site drainage would be more cost
effective. After designing and presenting several options to TXDOT, staff concluded that
relocating the waterline is a better option due to the liability, time and cost involved with an
alternative solution. Additionally, relocating the waterline would relieve the City of any
responsibility to relocate the waterline out of TXDOT ROW in the future.
This change order to Mitchell and Morgan is for the survey and design for relocating the 30”
waterline. This change order is also for the inclusion of construction materials testing and
construction phase services.
Budget & Financial Summary: Change Order 1 will increase the contract amount by
$12,700.00 for a revised contract total of $34,700.00. Funds in the amount of $145,000
are budgeted in the Water Capital Projects Fund for this project. Funds in the amount of
$22,000.00 have been expended or committed to date, leaving a balance of $123,000.00
for this change order and future expenses.

Wolf Point Center Rezoning
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Bob Cowell, AICP, Director of Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an
Ordinance amending Chapter 12, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Section 4.2, “Official
Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, specifically
rezoning 1.317 acres from PDD Planned Development District to PDD Planned Development
District to modify the District Concept Plan 330-A Holleman Drive East, generally located
southeast of the intersection of Holleman Drive East and Lassie Lane.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Financially Sustainable City Providing Response to Core
Services and Infrastructure, Neighborhood Integrity, and Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their
November 18, 2010 meeting and voted (5-1) to recommend approval of the rezoning
request. The Planning & Zoning Commission’s recommendation included conditions that
were agreed upon by the applicant and are now included in the rezoning request.
Summary: The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for
zoning map amendments:
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan designates the
subject property and the surrounding area as Urban Mixed Use. Urban Mixed Use is
described as a designation for “areas that should have the most intense development
activities. These areas will tend to consist exclusively of residential, commercial, and
office uses in vertical mixed-use structures.” The proposed development includes a
vertical mixed use structure along the frontage of Holleman Drive and two multi-family
structures located toward the back of the property.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property
and with the character of the neighborhood: Properties located to the east and
west of the subject property are zoned C-1 General Commercial and are developed as
office and office-industrial uses. Properties to the south are zoned R-1 Single-Family
Residential and developed as single-family structures. Multi-family uses can be
compatible with both office and single-family uses if properly designed. The proposed
Concept Plan includes canopy trees to screen site lighting at the rear of the property.
The Concept Plan does not include a buffer adjacent to the single-family to the south (a
modification has been requested). No buffers exist on the adjacent commercial
properties because the subject property was planned for non-residential or mixed-use
development. All of the surrounding properties are slated for future Urban Mixed-Use
development.
4. 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 zoning includes the following uses: multi-family residential units,
professional offices, retail uses, personal service shops, medical clinics, restaurants and
85
drive-thru facilities. Non-residential uses are proposed to be located on the ground floor
of the building fronting on Holleman Drive. Two multi-family structures are proposed at
the rear of the property and are not proposed to contain non-residential uses due to lack
of visibility. The proposal differs from the current zoning only in that the non-residential
spaces can be phased over time.
The properties located to the east and west are zoned C-1 General Commercial and are
currently developed as office and office-industrial uses. Holleman is designated as a 2-
Lane Major Collector in this area. The property is suitable for mixed-use development.
5. 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
existing PDD zoning includes the following uses: multi-family residential units,
professional offices, retail, personal service shops, medical clinics, restaurants and drive-
thru facilities. Non-residential uses are permitted to be located on the ground floor of
the building fronting on Holleman Drive. Two multi-family structures were included at
the rear of the property and would not contain commercial uses due to lack of visibility.
A site plan for the development was approved in September of this year. The proposal
differs from the current zoning only in that the non-residential spaces can be phased
over time.
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:
A mixed-use development was recently built in the area -the Lofts at Wolf Pen Creek.
Additionally, a mixed-use site plan was approved in September of this year conforming
to the existing mixed-use PDD zoning.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject property is
located adjacent to an 8-inch water main which runs along the north side of Holleman
Drive. The nearest public sanitary sewer manhole is located approximately 150 feet
east of the subject property. Public utility extensions will be required as a part of site
development. The subject tract is located in the Wolf Pen Creek Drainage Basin;
development of the tract will have to meet the City's Storm Water Design Guideline
requirements. The subject tract is not located within a FEMA regulated Special Flood
Hazard Area. The subject tract is located adjacent to Holleman Drive (2-Lane Major
Collector) and will take access from a recently established cross access easement with
the adjacent property off Holleman Drive.
REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN
The following uses are included in the PDD zoning: multi-family residential units,
professional offices, retail uses, personal services shops, medical clinics, restaurants and
drive-thru facilities. Non-residential uses are proposed to be located on the ground floor
of the building fronting on Holleman Drive. Two multi-family structures are proposed at
the rear of the property and are not proposed to contain non-residential uses due to lack
of visibility. The proposal differs from the current zoning only in that the non-residential
spaces can be phased over time.
The applicant has provided the following information related to the proposed zoning
district:
“The project will include 34 residential units (60 bedrooms) in three separate
buildings ranging in height from 2-3 stories and 1,000 square feet of non-
residential space facing Holleman. Another 3,000 square feet of first floor living
86
spaces will be constructed to commercial standards for future conversion to non-
residential space if the market supports such a conversion, up to a project total
of 4,000 square feet.”
At the time of site plan, the project will need to meet all applicable site and architectural
requirements required by the Unified Development Ordinance. The existing PDD zoning
district includes several meritorious modifications that are being requested to remain with
the new PDD zoning. The following meritorious modifications are being requested to remain
on the property:
• Section 7.2.I “Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required” of the
Unified Development Ordinance
The applicant is requesting a parking requirement of 1 parking space per
bedroom for the residential units and a minimum parking requirement of 1
parking space per 250 square feet of non-residential uses.
• Section 7.2.E “Interior Islands” of the Unified Development Ordinance
The applicant is requesting that no interior parking island be required in side or
rear parking areas.
• Section 5.4 “Non-Residential Dimensional Standards” of the Unified
Development Ordinance
The applicant is requesting that no minimum front setback be required from
Holleman Drive to allow the mixed-use structure to be located closer to Holleman
Drive. Additionally the applicant is requesting a 15-foot rear setback.
• Section 7.1.2 “Single-Family Protection” of the Unified Development
Ordinance
The applicant is requesting that the height of the structures not be limited by the
adjacent single-family structures to the south. As designated on the
Comprehensive Plan, the future use of the property to the south is also high-
density Urban Mixed-use, although the property is currently developed as single-
family residential.
• Section 7.6.F “Buffer Standards” of the Unified Development Ordinance
The applicant is requesting that no buffer be required adjacent to the single-
family development to the south. As designated on the Comprehensive Plan, the
future use of the property to the south is also a high-density Urban Mixed-use.
The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for 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: The applicant has
proposed a mixed-use development including multi-family units, retail, restaurant
and office uses. As designated on the Comprehensive Plan, the subject property and
the entire surrounding area is proposed to be high-density Urban Mixed Use in the
future. A mixed-use environment potentially allows for residents to shop, dine and
work where they live, reducing traffic congestion on nearby streets and encouraging
a more walkable environment.
2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be
87
consistent with the intent and purpose of this Section: The proposed concept
plan is in general conformity with the policies, goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use and Character Map calls for Urban Mixed
Use, which is what is currently proposed on the concept plan
3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites
and will not adversely affect adjacent development: The proposed
development includes a vertical mixed-use structure on the front of the property
adjacent to Holleman Drive and multi-family structures toward the rear of the
property. Properties to the east and west are currently developed as office uses and
are generally compatible with the proposed development. Properties to the south
are currently developed as single-family uses. The applicant has proposed to
exclude non-residential uses adjacent the existing single-family. Properties to the
south are designated on the Comprehensive Plan for future high-density Urban Mixed
Use.
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: All dwelling units will have access to a public street
via a joint access easement with the adjacent office-industrial development
(currently Verizon).
5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements,
including, but not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities: The
development includes a provision for public sidewalks along Holleman Drive.
6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity: The surrounding area is also designated for future high-density Urban
Mixed-Use. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
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: The development of the subject property includes the installation of
sidewalks along Holleman Drive. A mixed-use environment potentially allows for
residents to shop, dine and work where they live, reducing traffic congestion on
nearby streets and encouraging a more walkable environment.

ZONING HISTORY
In late 2009, the property was rezoned from C-1 General Commercial to PDD Planned
Development District for a mixed-use development. The PDD zoning includes a vertical
mixed-use structure along the frontage of Holleman Drive and two multi-family
structures located toward the back of the property.
97
The uses permitted by the existing PDD zoning include multi-family residential units,
professional offices, retail, personal service shops, medical clinics, restaurants and
drive-thru facilities. The existing Concept Plan for the property includes non-residential
uses located on the ground floor of the building fronting on Holleman Drive. The two
multi-family structures located at the rear of the property would not contain commercial
uses due to lack of visibility.
The 2009 mixed-use PDD request came after a failed attempt to designate the property
for multi-family uses in 2008. At that time, the Planning and Zoning Commission and
City Council stated that mixed-use was the preferred land use for the property in and
surrounding Wolf Pen Creek.
A site plan was prepared and approved in September 2010 that complies with the
existing mixed-use PDD zoning, but it has not been constructed.

Regular Agenda Item No. 2
Rezoning for 3180 Cain Road
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Bob Cowell, AICP, Director of Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action and discussion regarding a
Rezoning for 3180 Cain Road of 19.575 acres from A-O Agricultural Open to C-1 General
Commercial, R-3 Townhouse and R-4 Multi-Family located at 3180 Cain Road and more
generally located west of the intersection of Old Wellborn Road and Cain Road.
Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their
November 18, 2010 meeting and voted 7-0 to recommend denial. Staff also recommended
denial of the request.
Summary: 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 designated as
Urban on the Future Land Use and Character Map of the Comprehensive Plan and is
located within Growth Area Five. Under the Urban designation in Growth Area Five,
intense land use activities including general commercial, office uses, townhomes, high-
density apartments, and vertical mixed-use are appropriate land uses. As proposed, the
applicant is requesting three zoning designations on the property, which includes 12
acres of R-3 Townhouse; 6.3 acres of R-4 Multi-Family; and 1.2 acres of C-1 General
Commercial. While the zoning designations allow uses that are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, they also allow uses that are not. These uses include single-family
detached residences, which would be allowed in the R-3 Townhouse zoning district and
duplexes, which would be allowed in the R-4 Multi-Family zoning district.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property
and with the character of the neighborhood: Currently, the surrounding properties
are all zoned A-O Agricultural Open with uses consisting of single-family residences,
manufactured homes, commercial strip centers and a self-storage business. In addition,
there are several properties that are currently vacant. With the exception of the single-
family residences, none of the existing uses are allowed under the current zoning A-O
zoning designation. However, these uses existed prior to annexation and as such are
allowed to continue as is. Single-family residences and townhomes would be compatible
at this time, but the subject property as well as the surrounding properties are
designated as Urban on the Future Land Use and Character Map in the Comprehensive
Plan and as such are intended for a higher intensity of land use than what currently
exists.
110
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
requested zoning changes are generally representative of uses that the Comprehensive
Plan anticipates as being suitable for this area. However, the proposed zoning
designations of R-3 Townhouse and R-4 Multi-Family, allow uses that would not be
111
suitable for the area. This includes the ability to develop single-family detached
residences and duplexes, which would be at much lower land use intensity than what is
currently planned for the area. Infrastructure in the area is currently inadequate to serve
additional development and improvements will be needed even for the least intense uses
as Cain Road is not currently built to City standards. Additionally, a local street(s) would
need to be provided for any development consisting of single-family detached homes,
townhomes or duplexes as these uses are not permitted to take direct access to a
collector street (Cain Road). Without improvements to the current street system, the
property is not suitable for the type and intensity of development proposed by the
applicant or planned by the City.
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
property is currently zoned A-O, Agricultural Open, which allows for agricultural, low-
intensity residential and open space uses. These uses may not be suitable for this
property due to the existing commercial businesses and duplexes existing on or adjacent
to the subject property. Additionally, the Future Land Use and Character Map of the
Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Urban, which is intended for the most
intense land use activities. As such, A-O land use activities will eventually become less
and less suitable as the surrounding properties develop.
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 marketability of the property is limited under the current A-O, Agricultural Open
zoning designation, which limits potential development to agricultural, low-intensity
residential or open space uses. Through the rezoning, the applicant is seeking to
enhance the marketability of the property.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, storm water, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject tract is
currently being served water service through a private water main. There is an 18-inch
water main along Old Wellborn Rd, which is adjacent to this tract. Development of the
subject tract would have to meet the City’s water system and fire flow requirements.
The subject tract is located adjacent to a 12-inch sanitary sewer main, located along the
property’s northern property boundary. The subject tract is located in the Bee Creek
Tributary “B” drainage basin. The subject tract is not located in a FEMA Regulated
Special Flood Hazard Area; however, drainage problems have been reported near the
intersection of Cain Rd. and Old Wellborn Rd. Development of the subject tract will be
required to meet the minimum requirements of the City’s storm water design guidelines.
The subject tract is located adjacent to Holleman Drive South (future 4 Lane Major
Collector), Wellborn Rd. (future 6 Lane Major Arterial), Cain Rd. (future 2 Lane Minor
Collector), and the future extension of General Pkwy (future 2 Lane Minor Collector).
Although Cain Rd. is on the City thoroughfare plan, Cain Rd. currently exists as a 21 foot
privately owned and maintained road. At this point the existing transportation facilities
are inadequate to serve development on the subject property.

Regular Agenda Item No. 3
Alarm Ordinance Amendment
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Jeff Capps, Chief of Police
Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion and possible action regarding an
alarm ordinance amendment to include the use of a graduated fine schedule and a third
party vendor to administer the alarm program.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal I.8 Evaluating Public Safety Needs.
Recommendation(s): Amend current ordinance to require a graduated fine schedule and
reduce the number of false alarms allowed. Use third party vendor to manage the collection
of associated fines resulting from excessive false alarms.
Summary: This item is returning to Council after staff received direction at the workshop
meeting held on September 23, 2010. Staff seeks Council approval to amend the current
alarm ordinance by reducing the number of false alarms allowed before fines are assessed
from five to three.
Further, we seek to establish a graduated fine schedule for continued false alarm responses.
The proposed fine scheduled is as follows:
Number of False Alarms Fine
1 - 3 false alarms $0
4 – 5 false alarms $50.00 each
6 – 7 false alarms $75.00 each
8 and above false alarms $100.00 each
Finally, staff recommends that a third party vendor be engaged to administer the false
alarm process.
