of the Historic Preservation Committee.
Lou Hodges, Chair, provided Council with an annual report on the activities of the Historic
Preservation Committee, including pamphlet with a map of A&M Faculty Homes, the approval of

Mile, new programs for 2018, and combining the duties of the Landmark Commission with those
of the HPC. Plans for 2018 are to continue with the aforementioned activities.
6. Presentation, possible action, and discussion concerning the City Internal Auditor’s Audit
of the Procurement Card Program.
Ty Elliott, Internal Auditor, reported that the City’s Procurement Card Program was adequately
mitigating risk and encouraging efficient and effective use of procurement cards. As a result, City
employees are predominately using their cards to the achievement of the program’s objectives.
Despite this positive assertion, we believe some controls could be strengthened in order to further
reduce risk. We have summarized some of our key recommendations below:
1. Restructure internal controls to better ensure that transactions are appropriately reviewed.
2. Adjust the current process to ensure the procurement cards of terminated employees are
closed as quickly as possible.
3. Investigate JP Morgan system controls that would prevent split purchases.
4. Prevent employees from exceeding highest approved single and monthly transaction limits.
5. Work with departments annually to reassign cardholders into appropriate spending
categories.
7. Due to a numbering error this item did not appear on the agenda.
8. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding providing additional flexibility for
the single-family Neighborhood Conservation Overlay district.
Justin Golbabai, Planning and Development, presented a request that will allow for more flexible
and customizable language to the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay (NCO) as supported by
Action Item NI&CC 2.1 in Southside Neighborhood Plan to “Amend the Unified Development
Ordinance to include a Character Preservation zoning option that provides the neighborhood with
the flexibility to select the character elements and to determine the area to which they may apply.”
The Eastgate Neighborhood Plan similarly has actions items to “Develop/amend the single-family
overlay ordinance options” and to “work with neighborhood residents to identify and resolve
roadblocks to adopting or implementing a new type of neighborhood overlay.” Planning and
Development Services Staff is currently working with the Southside neighborhood on an
application to form a NCO District for College Park, Oakwood, and Dulaney neighborhoods.
Through this process, the neighborhood has felt that the language in the section of the UDO
governing NCO District options to be overly restrictive and rigid. Therefore, they have asked for
additional flexibility in the ordinance language that would allow more customization in the overlay
to better target neighborhood issues without overregulating other areas in the process.
Some of the requested changes include:
WKSHP012518 Minutes Page 4
Allowing maximum lot coverage calculations to be customized of what is and isn’t
included so they can exclude impervious elements such as patios and outdoor recreational
areas.
Allow the neighborhood to customize what is included in tree preservation to able to
exclude certain invasive species of trees from tree protection as well as to be able to select
a larger caliper inch standard than the eight-inch caliper inches allowed for in the
ordinance.
Allow further restrictions on the amount and placement of parking areas.
Allow minimum lot size calculations to only apply to new subdivisions as is currently
applied without the overlay.
Staff requested direction from City Council on whether or not to move forward with the
development of an ordinance amendment that provides additional flexibility to the Neighborhood
Conservation Overlay District.
Council directed staff to come up with a process to ensure that information and notification is
being shared by the City to all those concerned at the earliest time possible. Council would like for
staff to clarify and establish the boundaries for any proposed changes in any district throughout
the City. Staff should make themselves available if asked to attend any of the neighborhood
meetings.
9. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the renovation of the existing Arts
Council Building for use as a Community Center with an emphasis on Senior Programming.
Erica Wozniak, Project Manager-Vertical Design and Construction, and David Schmitz, Parks and
Recreation Director, provided an overview of the current Arts Council Building, after it is vacated,
which will be renovated for use as a Community Center with an emphasis on Senior Programming.
The layout of the building will be reconfigured to better accommodate community activities, ADA

3979, amending Appendix A, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 4.2, "Official Zoning
Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning
district boundaries from PDD Planned Development District to PDD Planned Development

2. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance No.
2018-3980 amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from
Suburban Commercial, Estate, and Natural Areas Reserved to General Commercial and
Natural Areas Reserved for approximately 35 acres generally located at the intersection of
Rock Prairie Road and William D. Fitch Parkway.
Jade Broadnax, Planning and Development, stated that the applicant has requested an amendment
to the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use and Character Map from Suburban Commercial,
Estate, and Natural Areas Reserved to General Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved. Though
the subject property is located near the intersection of two regionally significant roadways, with
the surrounding low density land uses, the Comprehensive Plan specifically states that the land
adjacent to the intersection of William D. Fitch Parkway and Rock Prairie Road would be
appropriate for suburban or neighborhood commercial and office uses. Staff recommends denial
of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map amendment due to t he existing
rural and estate context, lack of changed conditions in the area, and the pending changes to the
Suburban Commercial zoning district.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request at their January 4th meeting and voted
5-0 to recommended approval of General Commercial land use from the intersection of William
D. Fitch Parkway and Rock Prairie Road to the boundary of Williams Creek Drive with the
boundaries of Estate and Natural Areas Reserved to remain the same.
At approximately 8:10 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing.

for General Commercial in the area.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 8:19 p.m.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Nichols and a second by Councilmember
Harvell, the City Council voted five (5) for and one (2) opposed, to deny Ordinance No. 2018-
3980, amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from Suburban
Commercial, Estate, and Natural Areas Reserved to General Commercial and Natural Areas

College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from R Rural to PDD
Planned Development District on approximately 8 acres of land, located at 3596 Greens
Prairie Road West.
Rachel Lazo, Planning and Development, stated that this request is to rezone approximately 8 acres
located at the northwest corner of Greens Prairie Road West and Victoria Avenue from R Rural to
PDD Planned Development District with a base zoning district of WE Wellborn Estate. The stated
purpose and intent of the requested PDD is “proposing to build a unique product that is comparable
to the density required in the WE Wellborn Estate zoning district and designed for seniors and
others in need of living assistance.” The Concept Plan proposes an assisted living development
that physically appears to be similar to the adjacent residential homes. Buildings are pro posed to
be single-story. Access from Greens Prairie Road is proposed. The modifications requested: WE
Wellborn Estate is proposed as the base zoning district with a modification to increase the
maximum density from 0.5 dwelling units per acre, to 0.86 dwelling units per acre. A second
modification has been proposed to provide approximately 64 parking spaces for 72 residents. The
justification for this request is provided in the accompanying parking demand letter. Lastly, the
applicant is requesting a modification to allow Assisted Living as a permitted use in the WE
Wellborn Estate zoning district.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item at their January 18, 2018 meeting and
voted 6-0 to recommend approval. Staff recommended approval.
At approximately 9:31 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing.
Jane Cohen, provided oral and written comments, attached. Mrs. Cohen had concerns with the
disposal of hazardous and biomedical waste into the septic system. She also believes the area

Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment.
Summary: This ordinance removes parking from the west side of Oney Hervey Drive and the north
side of Southland Street. This parking removal is needed to provide emergency vehicle access.
College Station Traffic Engineering received a request to evaluate parking along Oney Hervey Drive
and Southland Street. This request was based upon an increase in on-street parking associated with
rental properties. The College Station Fire Department and Traffic Engineering evaluated the streets
and determined parking removal is needed to provide emergency vehicle access. With the streets
being 27 feet wide, parking on both sides of the street impedes fires ability to fight a fire because they

would not be able to open the doors of the truck.
Traffic Engineering and Fire held a public meeting on May 8, 2017 to discuss the proposed removal
with residents and property owners. Three people attended the meeting and were opposed to the
parking removal along Oney Hervey (the attendees did not own property on Southland). Additionally,
the City received 2 phone calls in support of the change and 6 phone calls opposed the change.
Based upon feedback from the meeting, traffic engineering and fire adjusted the map to maximize the
available on-street parking while meeting the objective of allowing for emergency vehicle response.
To improve safety, mobility, and emergency vehicle access along these streets, the City of College
Station Traffic Management Team recommends approving this ordinance.
Budget & Financial Summary: The “NO PARKING” signs are planned operation and maintenance
expenses accounted for in the Public Works Traffic Operations budget.

Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding approval of Change Order No. 2 to the
construction contract with Larry Young Paving for a reduction of $253,599.11 on the Royder Road
Expansion Project.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Improving Mobility
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of change order no. 2 to the construction contract
with Larry Young Paving.
Summary: This project includes reconstruction of approximately 3000 LF of Royder from City Limit to
just north of Backwater Drive. The project also includes changing the existing 2-lane asphalt roadway
section into a 3 lane major collector concrete roadway. The construction of the roadway will include
placement of fiber optic ductbank, installation of a traffic signal, and waterline relocation.
This change order includes the deduction of approximately 340 LF of roadway scope from the project
adjacent to an idle Enterprise pipeline. The City had been in negotiations with Enterprise since March
2017 to have the idle pipeline adjusted for the project. Enterprise notified the City in November 2017
that they were abandoning the idle pipeline. The process to abandon the idle pipeline will not work
with the timeline of the project, so the roadway section that is adjacent to the idle Enterprise pipeline
(on the far north end of the project) will be moved into the phase II widening project that is currently
under design.
Budget & Financial Summary: Budget in the amount of $4,720,000 is included for this project in the
Streets Capital Improvement Projects Fund. A total of $3,407,356 has been expended or committed

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. The current report serves as evidence
that 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 were
implemented. Moreover, in 2017, the Sandra Bland Act was passed and signed into law (along
with HB 3051 which introduced new racial and ethnic designations). The Sandra Bland Law
requires for all law enforcement agencies in the state to collect additional data and provide a
more detailed analysis.
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 as well as the Sandra Bland Act. 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 implementation 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 1/1/17 and 12/31/17. 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 before
detaining them. Also, the 2009 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 2017, the Texas Legislators passed H.B. 3051 which removed the Middle Eastern data
requirement but standardized the racial and ethnic categories relevant to the individuals that
came in contact with the police. In addition, the Sandra Bland Act (S.B. 1849) was passed and
became law. That is, the most significant legislative act in Texas history regarding future data
requirements on law enforcement contacts, became law and effective January 1, 2018. All future
reports will contain more extensive data entries and analysis as well as records regarding audits
and the analysis of searches, as required by law.
In an effort to comply with The Texas Racial Profiling Law, the College Station Police
Department commissioned the analysis of its 2017 motor vehicle contact data. Thus, two
different types of data analyses were performed. The first of these involved a careful evaluation
of the 2017 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 issued 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 2017 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 2017 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.
Tier 1 (2017) Motor Vehicle-Related Contact Analysis
When analyzing the Tier 1 data collected in 2017, it was evident that most motor vehicle-
related contacts were made with Caucasian drivers. This was followed by African American and
Hispanic 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.
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 African
American and Hispanic descent that came in contact with the police was higher than the
percentage of African American and Hispanic households in College Station that claimed, in the
2010 census, to have access to vehicles. With respect to Caucasians and Asians, a lower
percentage of contacts were detected. That is, the percentage of Caucasian and Asian drivers
that came in contact with the police in 2017 was lower than the percentage of Caucasian and
Asian households in College Station with access to vehicles.
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 smaller percentage of
Caucasian and Asian drivers than the percentage that resided in College Station and had access
to vehicles. Further, the data suggested that the percentage of African American and Hispanic
drivers that came in contact with the police in 2017 was higher than the percentage of African
American and Hispanic 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.
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 now required by law to:
1) Perform an independent search analysis on the search data collected throughout
2018.
2) Commission data audits in 2017 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 complied with the Texas Racial Profiling
Law.

Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a Conditional Use Permit for
a bar in approximately 1,980 square feet of an existing commercial space at 650 William D. Fitch
Parkway, Suite 500, generally located on the southwest corner of Arrington Road and William D.
Fitch Parkway.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item at their February 1,
2018 meeting. Their recommendation will be presented at the City Council meeting.
Summary: Summary: This request is for a Conditional Use Permit for a bar in approximately 1,980
square feet of an existing commercial space, currently zoned GC General Commercial.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.The proposed use shall meet the purpose and intent of the Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO) and meet all minimum standards for this type of use per
the UDO. The proposed use of a bar in the Castlegate Business Center requires a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP). The lease space is currently open and operating as a restaurant. The
applicant requests that, in addition to the restaurant, the establishment be able to operate as a
bar, allowing more than 75% of their annual gross revenue be derived from the sale of alcohol.
The applicant is also proposing that the bar operate with late night hours - open to the general
public from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm and restricted to persons age 21 or older from 9:00 pm until
2:00 am. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing site.

File #: 18-0100, Version: 1
2.The proposed use shall be consistent with the development policies and goals
and objectives as embodied in the Comprehensive Plan for development in the City. The
subject tract is shown on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as
Institutional/Public and is located in Growth Area II. This land use designation is generally for
areas that are, and are likely to remain, in some form of institutional or public activity. While
there are some public uses in the area, this property and the adjacent properties are zoned
and developed for General Commercial uses, with surrounding areas experiencing increasing
commercial growth. Additionally, the Comprehensive Plan specifically states that in Growth
Area II, the area consisting of land near the interchange of William D. Fitch Parkway and State
Highway 6 should be used for intense land use activities including general commercial
activities, office uses, townhomes, apartments, and vertical mixed-use.
3.The proposed use shall not be detrimental to the health, welfare, or safety of
the surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, not be substantially or permanently
injurious to neighboring property. The proposed use is required by the Unified
Development Ordinance to be at least 300 feet away from any church, public school, or public
hospital. There is no outdoor patio space or outdoor live music proposed with this use and all
activities associated with the bar will be limited to the interior of the structure. Staff believes
that the use will not be detrimental or substantially injurious to the surrounding neighborhood
or its occupants.
4.The proposed site plan and circulation plan shall be harmonious with the
character of the surrounding area. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the site.
The building is an existing 9,000 square-foot shopping center with a drive-through, thus
keeping the site plan and circulation plan harmonious with the surrounding area’s character.
The use would be limited to the square footage approved through the CUP, which in this case
would be for a 1,980 square-foot tenant space in the shopping center.
5.The proposed use shall not negatively impact existing uses in the area or in the
City through impacts on public infrastructure such as roads, parking facilities,
electrical, or water and sewer systems, or on public services such as police and fire
protection, solid waste collection, or the ability of existing infrastructure and services to
adequately provide services. The proposed use will not negatively impact public
infrastructure or services. This use will be in an existing site zoned GC General Commercial
that was originally planned and developed to accommodate commercial uses. This site has
existing parking spaces that meet the requirements for the proposed use. Staff also reached
out to the College Station Police Department for feedback on any possible concerns with the
proposed use and location. The response received was that this use did not pose any
concerns at this time.
6.The proposed use shall not negatively impact existing uses in the area or in the
City. Existing uses in the area include commercial, public/institutional, and single-
family. The addition of this use will not negatively impact existing uses. Currently, the
Castlegate Business Center has a car wash, three restaurants with a drive-thru, and a
convenient store with gas pumps.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit.

Relationship to Strategic Goals:

·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item at their January 18,
2018 meeting and voted 4-3 to recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan criteria and 5-2 to
recommend approval of the rezoning criteria.
Summary: As part of the 2017 Plan of Work, the Planning and Zoning Commission directed staff to
review and identify UDO requirements that add minimal value and consider opportunities to reduce
regulations and streamline processes. One of the items identified by staff was to clearly state the
minimum criteria that would be considered in the review of Comprehensive Plan amendments and
rezoning requests.
The review criteria exist to provide a framework upon which to consider how to reasonably change
plans and regulate land to promote the good of the community, not to limit the Planning and Zoning

Commission or City Council in their debates on Comprehensive Plan or land use matters.
There are no criteria currently identified in the UDO to assist applicants and guide decision-makers in
their consideration to amend the Comprehensive Plan. The questions currently asked of applicants
are taken from guidance provided by the Comprehensive Plan to analyze amendment requests.
While the proposed amendment adds language to the UDO, it provides predictable expectations to
applicants and valid decision points to policy makers when considering changes to the long-range
plan for the City.
The criteria currently stated in the UDO for rezonings have been criticized for being difficult to
understand and confusing to apply. The proposed amendment is intended to establish clear criteria
for rezoning requests. The proposed questions encourage discussion on the same land-use matters
as the current ordinance language, but should result in more clarity and less redundancy.

18-0087 - FY18 BA#1 rev CK REV
The proposed budget amendment is to increase the FY18 budget for the items listed below by
$3,079,541. This amendment also increases the net Full-Time-Equivalent (FTE) personnel count by
2.0 positions. Also included is an interfund budget transfer.
1. Encumbrance Roll - $2,595,965 (Budget Amendment)
A number of expenditures were not completed in FY17 due to timing issues. These goods and
services were budgeted and encumbered in FY17, but were not or will not be received until
FY18. The encumbrance roll increases the FY18 budget appropriation in each applicable fund for
the eligible items. Included in the encumbrance roll is budget for Equipment Replacement
totaling $1,735,592. These items were ordered in FY17 but not received by the end of the fiscal
year. Of the remaining encumbrance roll items, many were FY17 one-time SLA items that were
not completed in FY17 and the funds for the items are available in the applicable fund balances.
2. Increase Park Land Dedication Budgets for Zones 6, 11 and D - $172,000 (Budget Amendment)
Budget for the Park Land Dedication Funds is determined based on available fund balances at
the time the budget is developed. Additional Park Land Dedication contributions have been
received in several Funds since the budgets was approved. This item will appropriate additional
budget in Park Land Zones 6, 11 and D where the contributions were received to allow the funds
to be utilized for various park improvement projects.
3. Greens Prairie/Arrington Signal Participation Agreement - $152,800 (Budget Amendment)
On November 9, 2017, Council approved a Participation Agreement with OGC Greens Prairie
Investors, LLC to share costs of constructing intersection improvements at Greens Prairie Road
and Arrington Road. At that same meeting, Council approved the construction contract for the
improvements. Budget in the amount of $790,000 was included in the Streets Capital
Improvement Projects Fund for the project. The budget, however, did not account for the
expenditures outlined in this participation agreement and, therefore, will be increased as part of
this budget amendment. The expenditures will be offset by the $152,800 payment from OGC
Greens Prairie Investors, LLC as outlined in the Participation Agreement.
4. Memorial Cemetery Endowment Fund - $37,500 (Budget Amendment)
This item includes a $33,000 increase in the FY18 Memorial Cemetery Endowment Fund budget
for wayfinding signage at Memorial Cemetery. Budget for this signage was approved during the
FY17 budget process, however quotes came in over the amount initially requested. This item is
for the appropriation of the budget in FY18. Also included in this budget amendment item is
$4,500 for re-platting fees for a section of the Aggie Field of Honor. A newly fenced section of
the cemetery must be re-platted before plots can be offered for sale. The Memorial Cemetery
Endowment Fund has sufficient fund balance to accommodate both requests.
5. Municipal Court X-Ray Machine Replacement - $25,000 (Budget Amendment)
A Court Technology Fee is authorized by the Texas State Legislature and is collected from
defendants convicted of a misdemeanor offense who pay citations at College Station Municipal
Court. Court Technology Fee revenues can be used to fund technology projects at the Municipal
Court Facility. This item is to appropriate Court Technology Fee Funds for the replacement of
the X-Ray machine at the Municipal Courts building. The x-ray machine broke down
unexpectedly and needs to be replaced as it is an essential component security. The Court
Technology Fee Fund has sufficient fund balance to accommodate this request.
ORDINANCE NO. ___________ Page 3 of 3
6. Police Department – CJD and JAG Grants - $42,276 (Budget Amendment)
The Criminal Justice Division of the Office of the Governor has authorized the City of College
Station to receive grant funds in the amount of $24,732 to be used to purchase rifle-resistant
body armor. There will be no matching fund requirement; however, the grant does not provide
for maintenance, repair, or future replacement of the body armor so these additional costs will
be incurred by the City in future budgets. In addition, the City of College Station will be receiving
Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funds totaling $17,544. The funds are awarded for the purpose of
supporting local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies,
contractual support, information technology, research and evaluation activities that will
improve or enhance law enforcement programs. This item will appropriate budget for the
expenditures in the Police Department’s budget.
7. HOT Funded Multimedia Coordinator position – $54,000 and 1.0 FTE Increase (Budget
Amendment and Interfund Transfer)
This item is for the addition of one Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Multimedia Coordinator position
in the Public Communications (PC) Department. This position will be responsible for strategically
creating marketing materials that help increase tourism to College Station. In addition, PC staff
will introduce College Station to other markets through the development of brochures,
promotional videos, and marketing and advertising materials. As the primary focus will be to
create high-quality collaterals needed to bring tourism to College Station, it is recommended
that this position be funded with Hotel Tax Funds. The amount included on this budget
amendment item is for an estimated nine months of salary and benefits. The estimated on-going
annual cost for the position is $74,000. This position will be budgeted in the General Fund and
Hotel Tax funds will be transferred to the General Fund to cover the expenditures related to
eligible activities. The funds for the position are available in the Hotel Tax Fund.
8. HR Training and Development Coordinator Position – 1.0 FTE Increase
This item is for the addition of one Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Training and Development
Coordinator position in the General Fund for the Human Resources (HR) Department. This
position will be responsible for professional-level work focused on developing, coordinating and
participating in specialized and general training, and employee development related activities,
to include, but not limited to developing, facilitating, and managing employee development
activities and overseeing organizational wide performance improvement programs. It is
anticipated that this position will be filled in the early part of calendar year 2018. The estimated
on-going annual cost for the position is $82,000. The funding for FY18 will come from a
combination of contingency and the existing budget in the HR Department; as such, no
additional budget will be needed for the position in FY18. This item is for the addition of the 1.0
