No items were pulled for discussion.
Items 2e, 2f, and 2g were pulled from Consent for clarification.
(2e): Donald Harmon, Public Works Director, provided clarification on the items associated with
the bid. The project consists of the construction of an extension of Lakeway Drive between its
current southern terminus near William D. Fitch Parkway to the existing northern terminus near
Scott and White Hospital near Rock Prairie Road. Also, Pebble Creek Parkway shall be
constructed from its intersection with the new section of Lakeway Drive to the northbound State
Highway 6 frontage road. This change order includes revisions to the sidewalk quantity, the trench
safety quantity for storm drain, and excavation of hard rock/shale/sandstone, additional electric al
conduit, and an update to the subgrade treatment.
(2f): Donald Harmon, Public Works Director, provided clarification on the need to purchase a
12.84 acre property located at 1775 Arnold Road, which is adjacent to the existing Utilities Service
Center. It is considered essential for the continued expansion and operation of the Electric and
Water utility as identified in a 2017 Facilities Programming Report conducted by Jacobs
Engineering.
WKSHP110818 Minutes Page 3
(2g): Donald Harmon, Public Works Director, provided clarification on the need to improve
safety and mobility for people driving, walking, and riding bicycles in the Castlegate
Neighborhood. Traffic Engineers for Public Works determined that an all-way stop is warranted
at the intersection and that this change would have a limited impact on mobility for people driving
along Victoria Avenue while improving the mobility for people driving on Castlegate Drive.
5. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an update by the City of Bryan on
their neighborhood protection efforts.
Justin Golbabai, Planning and Development, introduced Martin Zimmermann, AICP, Assistant
Director of Planning and Development Services for the City of Bryan to give an update on their
neighborhood protection efforts.
Martin Zimmermann, AICP, Assistant Director of Planning and Development Services for the City
of Bryan, gave an overview of Bryan’s Residential Conservation District (R-NC) and a recent
ordinance amendment that defines and regulates so called “stealth dorms” or “Ag shacks” as,
“Detached Shared Housing." He defined Detached Shared Housing (DSH) as a detached dwelling
unit on an individual lot, for which an approved building permit was issued after February 13,
2018, with four (4) or more bedrooms which is occupied or intended to be occupied by more than
two (2) unrelated persons.
Residential Conservation District (R-NC)
Bryan City Council adopts new zoning district in March of 2006 designed to regulate the sharing
of a home in residential areas.
Purpose: preserve, protect and enhance character of established residential neighborhoods
47 subdivisions or subdivision phases rezoned to R-NC District to date
2,883 out of 17,657 residential lots (16.3%)
Detached Shared Housing (DSH)
A trend of subdividing lots in residential areas leading to the development of stealth dorms causes
the City of Bryan to form a subcommittee in September of 2016 to, “regulate growth in a manner
that is no longer harmful or detrimental.”
The Subcommittee Findings:
o Unregulated development of “stealth dorms” is harmful to the City of Bryan.
o “Stealth dorms” should be a separately defined land use.
o Not permitted by right in residential districts.
o There is no ONE solution to the problem.
Challenges:
o Can’t retroactively make changes to existing structures
o Do not want to impact 3 and 4 bedroom homes owned by families
o Do not want to make new development impossible from over-regulation
Bryan City Council adopts an ordinance in February of 2018 defining where and how to allow
DSH:
Only by Conditional Use Permit
WKSHP110818 Minutes Page 4
o Potentially allowed in most residential zoning districts (except for R-NC District)
o Same process that duplexes and townhomes go through
o Set standards included, but the P&Z can add conditions as well
Required a definition of Bedroom:
o Bedroom shall mean any habitable room 70 sq. ft. or greater in floor area, which
may be segregated from the remainder of the dwelling unit with a door or similar
closure, has more than one means of egress (doorway or window) and is not a
kitchen, bathroom (lavatory), or utility room.
Mr. Zimmerman closed by saying that the effects of the new ordinance are not yet apparent as
there have been enquiries from developers for DSH but no formal submittals. This may be due to
the market appearing oversaturated with rental units along with renewed interest in the R-NC
district zoning.
6. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the televising of Planning and
Zoning Commission Workshops by Public Communications.
Jennifer Prochazka, Planning and Development Director, provided a brief overview why P&Z does
not televise the Workshop Meetings. Mrs. Prochazka explain are not televised because they are
open to the public, take no action, have no public hearings, and it allows informal interactions and
questions.
The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed this item at their September 6th meeting. At the
close of the discussion, the Commission expressed that while their preference is that workshop
remain untelevised, they are comfortable changing, as Council directs.
A majority of Council directed staff to televise the P&Z Workshop Meetings for transparency and
the public’s benefit.
7. Council Calendar
Council reviewed the calendar.

2. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the possibility of creating an
electric advisory board or board of trustees.
Aubrey Nettles, Specials Project Coordinator, provided a brief overview on the FY2019 budget
workshops where City Council directed staff to look at the possibility of creating an electric
advisory board or independent utility board. Since then, staff has reviewed municipally owned
utility governance studies and benchmarked similarly situated cities with municipally owned
utilities, which had an advisory board or independent board of trustees. Mrs. Nettles presented the
following findings and explored options going forward.
American Public Power Association (APPA) Significant Findings
• 43% of respondents with 20,000 to 50,000 customers are governed by City Councils
– 57% are governed by an Independent Board
• The incidence of electric utilities with a citizens advisory board increases by customer size
class
Texas Public Policy Association (TPPA) Significant Findings
RM110818 Minutes Page 4
• It is more common for large and mid-sized utilities to be governed by an independent board
• Council retains rate setting, bond issuance and eminent domain authority in 88% of the
utilities with an independent board
City Council Governance Model Pros
• Direct accountability to citizens/ratepayers
• Direct impact on planning and policy issues of the utility that impact the community
• More integration/synergies/coordination on policy issues between the utility and the other
city departments
City Council Governance Model Cons
• Potential for politics to be injected into running the utility
• Council members may not have expertise of the utility operations
• Council members must focus broadly on many City issues
• May focus on the City’s financial needs, possibly with less focus on utility finances
Independent Board Pros
• Singularly focused on the utility
• Members can be selected based on qualifications
• Can enhance the business orientation of governance
• Can reduce injection of politics into running the utility
• If longer terms than Councilmembers then more stability and better long range planning
• Could be viewed by the rating agencies as a positive
Independent Board Cons
• Less direct control and involvement by Council
• Could be less accountable to citizen/ratepayers
• Some synergies with other City Departments could be lost
• Transitioning to a board would require attention to costs, transition time, and other issues
• A board could be perceived as just another layer of management
A majority of Council directed staff to gather more information and bring back this item for
discussion during the Strategic Planning portion of the 2019 Council Retreat.
3. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the appointment of a
Councilmember Representative to the Sister Cities.

Presentation,possible action,and discussion regarding a general service contract with NextGEN for

Garage Parking Access & Revenue Control System (PARCS) in the amount of $319,767.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Diverse Growing Economy
·Improving Mobility
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the contract with NextGEN
Summary:After over 8 years of heavy use,the current parking access and revenue control system in
the College Main Parking Garage has reached the end of its useful life.While the existing equipment
is currently functional,staff has identified numerous mechanical elements that are severely outdated
and malfunction on a regular basis.The company that manufactured the current equipment (3M)is
no longer in the parking garage equipment business,and acquiring the necessary spare parts to
adequately maintain the current system is becoming more difficult.Also,the current management
software is no longer supported by the manufacturer.This situation unnecessarily drains department
resources and often creates both operational inefficiencies and a frustrating experience for many of
our parking customers.
The proposed Designa PARC system design resembles the existing mechanical layout,but the new
updated elements will allow for a significantly more efficient revised operational model which will
provide several new options to our garage users.In addition to standard garage operational
procedures,the proposed system will allow for credit-card in/credit card out (CI/CO)functionality,
capability at paying at the exit gates,and will be a credit/debit card only system (no cash).The
system has the capability of allowing for business validation and special event parking should we
decide to acquire this functionality in the future.The system meets all new credit card EMV reader

decide to acquire this functionality in the future.The system meets all new credit card EMV reader
and associated information technology and business security standards.
The proposed system replaces the following equipment:
Complete replacement of all access and exit components along with all associated mechanical
equipment.This includes new entry and exit gates (2 entry,2 exit,and one reversible),gate ticket
dispensers,exit verifiers and vehicle sensor loops,gate control boxes,gate arms,walk-up
credit/debit card only pay stations (4),and a new call-forward capable intercom system with
integrated security cameras to better insure patron safety and assist NG Staff in monitoring and
preventing the abuse and vandalizing of all new system components.
Finally,all related installation materials,peripherals,labor costs,system configuration and training
are included in the contract and will be provided by NextGEN as is a 4 year extended preventive
maintenance and support agreement.There is zero expected downtime to our patrons as we will
have the capability of operating both the old and new systems concurrently during the project
installation.
Budget &Financial Summary:The cost of the new College Main Parking Garage Revenue and
Access Control System (PARCS)is $319,767.00.This item is budgeted in the 2018 Northgate
Enterprise Fund.

Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an ordinance amending Appendix A,
“Unified Development Ordinance,” Section 7.2.H, “Height,” and Section 11.2, “Defined Terms,” regarding single
-family height protection and building height.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Neighborhood Integrity
Recommendation: The Planning & Zoning Commission will consider this item at their meeting on November
15. Their final report will be made at the Council meeting.
Summary:In response to a future agenda item request,staff presented an overview of UDO Section 7.2.H to
the Planning &Zoning Commission in April.The Commission expressed a desire to make changes to the
section.The topic was presented as part of the community engagement meetings and surveys this past
spring.
In June,Staff provided the Commission and City Council with a summary of the results from the community
engagement meetings and online surveys and solicited feedback regarding any possible changes to Section
7.2.H.There was general consensus among both bodies that the existing language lacks clarity and that
simplicity was needed.
In August,Staff presented a draft ordinance to the Commission that rearranged subsections and reformatted
and retitled sections to make the text more user-friendly,and simplified language,updated a graphic,and
tweaked language to provide clarity.The Commission discussed concerns about uncertainty of how complex
roof systems may be measured and expressed a desire to simplify the ordinance.The Commission voted to
defer action on this draft.
The current proposed ordinance seeks to clarify and simplify the regulation. The purpose has been edited, an
applicability section has been added, and the standard for height protection clearly states that structures shall
