3. Reconvene from Executive Session and take action, if any.
No action was taken.
4. Presentation, possible action and discussion on items listed on the consent agenda.
Items 2b and 2c were pulled from Consent for clarification.
(2b): Mary Ellen Leonard, Finance Director, provided a clarification that the 5% fee collected by
the vendor is based on the amount recovered for the city on collections accounts for ambulance
billing and other accounts receivable.
(2c): Mary Ellen Leonard, Finance Director, provided a brief explanation on AMI technology and
the city’s previous study of its infrastructure requirements and cost analysis.
5. Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a Police Department resource
allocation study conducted by Etico Solutions.
Chief Scott Mccollum, Assistant Police Chief, stated that the Police Department consulted with
Tim Freesmeyer of Etico Solutions to evaluate and analyze current police officer staffing.
Mr. Freesmeyer presented a report recommending staffing based on best practices. This
information is based on five years of call data and three years of leave data from the police
department. Mr. Freesmeyer presented a report that provides final recommendations for patrol
staffing levels, recommended schedule changes to improve efficiencies, redesigned patrol beat
configurations, and suggestions to improve current data collection methods. The recommendations
being offered are based on the workload and leave data provided by the College Station Police
Department. Implementation of any recommendations should be carefully considered by the Police
Command Staff for the potential affect upon the culture of the agency, any existing collective
bargaining restrictions, and the level of acceptance to change existing within the agency.
The results of the study showed that the Patrol Division is spending more than the recommended
amount of time per hour on reactive activities. To bring the reactive time and proactive time per
hour to an even split, the agency will need to increase their staffing in 2019 by approximately 16
positions to a total staff size of 79 patrol officers. In order to free up sergeants from calls for service
so they can properly supervise, a total of 20 positions would need to be added taking the total staff
size to 83. In 2020, this number is expected to increase by five additional positions. In 2021, the
estimated total staff will rise another seven positions to a total staff size of 95 patrol officers. In
order to maintain proper spans of control, especially for the number of new and potentially young
officers coming on board, the number of first-line supervisors and managers will also need to grow
accordingly.
WKSHP041119 Minutes Page 3
Schedule Option
Four alternative schedule recommendations were offered to improve performance:
Redistributing officers among shifts
Redistributing officers and modifying start times
Distributing 10-hour days off throughout the week
Adopting a new schedule
These were offered as suggestions but their benefits must be weighed against other organizational
circumstances. A theoretical increase in efficiency may not be seen if the change is not accepted
by the patrol staff.
6. Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding the 2018 Existing Conditions
Report.
Justin Golbabai, Planning and Development, presented an overview of the City of College
Station’s 2018 Existing Conditions Report. The report kicks off the Comprehensive Plan update
process by providing an overview of College Station’s existing conditions for the natural
environment, demographics, economic development, land use, public facilities, and transportation.
A full copy of the report can be found online.
7. Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a report on the status of the Wolf Pen
Creek Corridor.
Jeff Kersten, Assistant City Manager, gave a brief back on the Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan goal
from 1988, which was to develop a comprehensive plan to recognize the interrelationships of
drainage, erosion, and recreation as they apply to the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor from Texas Avenue
to the East Bypass, as well as to create a community attr action for College Station residents and

Hear Visitors Comments
Elianor Vessali, College Station, came before Council to honor the service and sacrifice of Army
2nd Lt. Peter H. Burks.
Jorge Sanchez, College Station, came before Council to express his concerns about the “Urban Heat
Island Effect” which raises temperatures near urban areas. He stated it is brought about by the
continual widening of roads and removing native vegetation and earth for impervious surfaces. He
would like to see discussions about alternative methods of shaping our environment which prevent
this effect and conversations on alternative modes of transportation to handle large volumes of
people, thus lessening the need for more paved surfaces.

ninety (90) construction days.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Maloney and a second by Councilmember
Rektorik, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to approve a construction
contract with Kieschnick General Contractors, in the amount of $362,776 for the development of
the Georgie K. Fitch Park Trail, connecting Georgie K. Fitch to the Ringer Library. The motion

4. Presentation, discussion, and possible action on Resolution No. 04-11-19-04 in support of
H.B. No. 884 relating to designating a portion of Texas Avenue in Brazos County as the
Carolyn and John David Crow Memorial Parkway.
Brian Piscacek, Assistant to the City Manager - Special Projects, stated that Representative John
Raney introduced H.B. No. 884 in the 86th legislative session. Upon passage it would designate a
portion of Texas Avenue in Brazos County between the intersection with East Villa Maria Rd in
Bryan and the intersection with Krenek Tap Road in College Station as the Carolyn and John David
Crow Memorial Parkway. This designation is in addition to any other designation.
Mr. Piscacek explained that John David Crow played football for Texas A&M and in 1957 received
the honor of winning the Heisman Trophy. After 11 years in the NFL and various coaching and
administrative jobs for both the NFL and college teams, he and his wife Carolyn retir ed to College
Station until their passing in 2015 and 2016. Additionally, the proposed "Fun for All Playground"
at Central Park in College Station will have a 1/3rd size football field with bleachers seating up to
400 people named for Carolyn and John David Crow. Mr. Piscacek also explained that this
resolution is not a City-initiated designation of a memorial highway, it does not involve any cost on
behalf of the City, and is separate from any City naming procedures.
Mary Hirsch, College Station, came before Council to state her concerns on the HB 884 proposal to
designate a portion of Texas Avenue as the “Carolyn and John David Crow Memorial Highway.”
Ms. Hirsch stated her concerns were that Texas Avenue is an enduring and historic part of Bryan -
College Station, and that HB 884 may become a precedent that could have future effects on other
principal roadways that have existed for over 25 years.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Maloney and a second by Councilmember
Brick, the City Council voted three (3) for and four (4) opposed, with Mayor Mooney and
RM041119 Minutes Page 5
Councilmembers Rektorik, Vessali, and Nichols voting against, to take no action on Resolution No.

County as the Carolyn and John David Crow Memorial Parkway. The motion failed.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Nichols and a second by Councilmember
Rektorik, the City Council voted five (5) for and two (2) opposed, with Councilmembers Brick and
Maloney voting against, to adopt Resolution No. 04-11-19-04, in support of H.B. No. 884 relating
to designating a portion of Texas Avenue in Brazos County as the Carolyn and John David Crow
Memorial Parkway. The motion carried unanimously.
5. Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding appointments to the Bicycle,
Pedestrian, and Greenway Advisory Board.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Brick and a second by Councilmember
Rektorik, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to appoint Kyle LeBlanc to the
Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenway Advisory Board. The motion carried unanimously.
6. Presentation, possible action, and discussion on future agenda items and review of standing
list of Council generated agenda items: A Council Member may inquire about a subject for
which notice has not been given. A statement of specific factual information or the recitation
of existing policy may be given. Any deliberation shall be limited to a proposal to place the
subject on an agenda for a subsequent meeting.
Councilmember Harvell inquired on the future agenda item “Parking in Residential Neighborhoods,”
and requested that it be returned before the beginning of football season.

There being no further business, Mayor Mooney adjourned the Regular Meeting of the City Council
at 7:34 p.m. on Thursday, April 11, 2019.

October 1, 2019 to January 31st, 2020.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: (Select all that apply)
·Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s):
Staff recommends the approval of Change Order Number 1 for $352,269.84 and changing the date
of substantial completion from October 1, 2019 to January 31st, 2020 to the Graham Road Substation
Contract. These changes are due to the discovery of soil issues at the construction site that need to
be mitigated before we can proceed to the next steps in the substation construction.
Summary:
Graham Road Substation is the City of College Station’s newest substation. During the site
preparation phase of the construction project, soil issues were identified by the independent geo-
technical engineering firm that need to be mitigated before we can proceed to the subsequent
phases of construction. The mitigation of the soil issues identified require chemically stabilizing (70%-
30% Lime/Fly-ash mix) both the sub-grade and the back fill. These mitigating tasks to be performed
by the contractor will result in an additional cost of $352,269.84. The aforementioned soil issues and
the extremely wet weather conditions since the project started in 12/2018 have resulted in significant
number of lost days for the contractor. In order to account for these lost days the date significant of
completion will be revised from October 1, 2019 to January 31st, 2020. The changes to the original
scope for this project amount to $352,269.84, which is an 8.28 % increase in cost from the original
bid.

Recommendation(s):
Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance.
Summary:
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires Retail Public Water Suppliers with
3,300 or more connections to adopt a Drought Contingency Plan, and renew this Plan at least once
every five years. The prior submittal deadline was May 1, 2014, and this revised Plan is being
submitted in compliance with the upcoming May 1, 2019 deadline.
The 2014 Drought Contingency Plan update contained several revisions from the previous version
adopted in 2009. The proposed Plan does not make significant changes from the 2014 Plan. The
2019 Plan maintains year-round encouragement of voluntary water conservation, in accordance with
guidance from TCEQ and TWDB. Triggers and descriptions of drought stages that were adopted in
2014 are included below for reference.
The triggers for the drought stages remain the same, as they more accurately reflect stress on the
water production and delivery system caused by high water demand or a water supply
emergency:
Stage 1 - High Water Demand. Triggers:
College Station, TX Printed on 4/18/2019Page 1 of 2

·Average daily water consumption for three (3) consecutive days reaches 90% of
production/distribution capacity (29 MGD) of the system; OR
·The City's daily water consumption will not enable storage levels to be maintained
Stage 3 - Water Supply Emergency. Trigger:
·The water system is contaminated, whether accidentally or intentionally, or becomes
nonoperational for any reason. Condition is reached immediately upon detection.
Reviewed and Approved by Legal: Yes
Budget & Financial Summary:
The Plan and its implementation will have minimal financial impact on the City's water production
operations, administration, and enforcement of drought contingency measures.

J. TRIGGER CONDITIONS
The City Manager or his/her designee shall monitor daily water supply and/or demand
conditions. The City Manager, on recommendation of College Station Water Services, shall
determine when conditions warrant initiation or termination of each stage of the Plan, that is,
when the specified trigger conditions are reached. The triggering criteria described below are
based on emergency situations caused by high daily average water demand, equipment or
system failure, or a natural disaster. The trigger conditions also recognize that the City of
College Station uses groundwater as its water supply, and therefore, will likely be constrained
by system capacity before shortage of supply.
Water system interconnections are in place between the City of College Station, City of Bryan
and Texas A&M University that may be utilized to provide water in emergency conditions,
provided there is not an additional emergency situation created by any water transfer. These
shared water resources shall be evaluated and/or implemented prior to initiation of each stage
of the Plan.

City of College Station Water Conservation Plan Page 1 of 9
SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION
In accordance with the requirements of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the
City of College Station (the City) has updated its water conservation plan for adoption as a City
resolution. The resolution of the City Council adopting the Water Conservation Plan shall authorize the
City to implement, enforce, and administer the program.
SECTION 2. UTILITY PROFILE
Population and customer data
The City of College Station Water Services Department manages a water service area covering 47 square
miles and a water service population of over 90,000 customers and nearly 40,000 water connections. It
should be noted that some residents within College Station City limits are served by Wellborn Special
Utility District. Additionally, Texas A&M University maintains its own separate water system, serving the
on-campus population of students and staff. Figures given for population served by College Station
Water Services do not include Wellborn or Texas A&M customers.
Water Production and Delivery System
The City utilizes ground water for its public water supply and since 1980 College Station has developed
its own water production facilities. The City has eleven groundwater wells, ten of which withdraw
groundwater from the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer, and one in the Sparta Aquifer. The City’s wellfield is
located northwest of Bryan in the vicinity of Sandy Point Road near Old San Antonio Road. The
Simsboro Sand formation of the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer occurs approximately 3,000 feet below the land
surface. This water rises through artesian pressure to 500 feet below the land surface. This groundwater
is approximately 118° F before being cooled to 85°through cooling towers located at the Sandy Point
Pump Station. The water is then pumped through two parallel water transmission lines to the Dowling
Road Pump Station in College Station. Here the water is treated to meet Safe Drinking Water Act
standards before being pumped to storage and distribution facilities. The City’s water distribution
system includes 450 miles of water lines, two ground storage reservoirs and two elevated storage tanks,
providing a total storage capacity of 13 million gallons.
Wastewater Collection and Treatment System
Raw wastewater in College Station travels through a network of 370 miles of wastewater collection lines
to one of three wastewater treatment plants: Carter's Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, Lick Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant, and Carter Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant. These three wastewater
treatment plants and numerous lift stations serve a population of over 85,000 people, with an average
daily discharge of 6 to 7 million gallons per day (MGD) and maximum daily wastewater treatment
capacity of 11.5 MGD.
Water use data
Table 1 below summarizes key water use statistics for 2014-2018. Average per person usage is given in
gallons per capita per day (gpcd). Average and peak daily water demand are given in million gallons per
day (MGD). The peak day to average day ratio varies between 1.8 and 2.1, meaning that peak day
demand is nearly twice the average demand.
The peak demand for the City is 26.2 MGD, reached in 2013, followed closely by a peak day of 25.8 MGD
in 2015. During high demand periods when large volumes of water are being pumped from the aquifer,
City of College Station Water Conservation Plan Page 2 of 9
the production capacity of the wells is reduced due to declining water levels of the aquifer. The City’s
water production and pumping system capacity is currently 30 MGD.

1. Peak GPCD = (Total Gallons Used in Peak Month ÷ Permanent Population) ÷ Days in Month
2. Annual Average GPCD = (Total Gallons in System ÷ Permanent Population) ÷ 365
SECTION 3. WATER CONSERVATION GOALS
The purpose of this water conservation plan is to reduce long-term demand on limited water resources
by encouraging more efficient water use practices in College Station. Its primary goals are to reduce
peak seasonal water demand and reduce the peaking factor on the water production and delivery
system. Peaking factor is defined as the ratio between peak daily water use and average daily water
use. A peaking factor of 1.5 or more shows potential for significant water conservation savings,
particularly in seasonal water use.
Quantified Five (5) and Ten (10) Year Water Conservation Targets and Goals
Goal 1: Reduce peak daily water demand
Goal 2: Reduce peaking factor to 1.7 or below
TCEQ rules require the City build capacity to meet escalating peak daily demands, which, as discussed in
Section 1, can be up to twice the average demand. This capacity is expensive to build and maintain,
particularly when this peak demand is only reached a few days per year. Reducing peak demands
enables the City to defer new capital expenditures for production facilities, and optimize use of available
water resources.
The City aims to reduce peak demand through two methods: programs targeted at reducing peak per
capita demand, and programs aimed at reducing the peaking factor. Table 2 outlines projected targets
for reducing per capita demand and peaking factor. The Texas Water Conservation Advisory Council and
Texas Water Development Board recommend that municipalities set goals of reducing per capita
consumption by 1% per year.

Peaking Factor 1.8 1.7 1.4
City of College Station Water Conservation Plan Page 3 of 9
Goal 3: Reduce Non-Revenue Water
The goal of the City’s water loss control program is to gradually reduce the percentage of Non-Revenue
Water (defined as unbilled authorized plus unbilled unauthorized usage) from the baseline of 7.6 % of
water produced, on an annual basis. In order to meet this goal, the City has several programs in place,
including routine water audits, a program of leak detection and repair, and a meter testing and
replacement program. These are described in the following section.
Table 3: Water Loss Goals
Five Year Average 5-yr Goal (2023) 10-yr Goal (2028)
Water Loss (GPCD)1 10 9 8
Water Loss (Percentage)2 7.6% 6% 5%
1. Water Loss GPCD = (Total Water Loss ÷ Permanent Population) ÷ 365
2. Water Loss Percentage = (Total Water Loss ÷ Total Gallons in System) x 100
Time frame for achieving conservation goals
The three goals outlined above are designed to be achieved within five to ten years of the date of
adoption of this Plan. The City will periodically evaluate the plan in accordance with State and Federal
regulations to determine the extent, if any, that the plan needs modification.
SECTION 4. UNIVERSAL METERING, METER TESTING, AND
REPLACEMENT
The ability to meter all water distribution and consumption uses allows the City to closely monitor actual
water use, water losses, and prevent unauthorized use. All service connections in the City are metered.
All production wells, pumping stations, interconnections, irrigation, swimming pools, parks, and
municipal structures operated by the City are metered.
Master meters at water production pump stations are calibrated and tested annually in accordance with
American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards to provide a minimum accuracy of plus or minus
1.5 percent.
The City will continue to provide a preventive maintenance program for its water meters, wherein
regular scheduled testing, repairs, and replacement are performed in accordance with American Water
Works Association (AWWA) standards. After approximately seven years of usage, mechanical wear on
traditional water meters causes them to under-report water usage due to parts rotating slower,
resulting in lost revenue. In recent years the City has begun replacing old-style mechanical water meters
with digital water meters having no moving parts, a twenty-year warranty, and capability to be
retrofitted to Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI). This results in much more accurate meter
readings and the ability to provide customers with detailed water usage data on request.
SECTION 5. WATER LOSS CONTROL MEASURES
The Water Services Department generates a monthly water loss report that compares metered
production with billed metered consumption, as well as unbilled authorized consumption. This report
provides an effective tracking system of water loss. The City also completes a detailed water system
audit following Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) guidelines annually. The water system audit
determines the volume of actual water loss, the identification of water loss sources, the status and
City of College Station Water Conservation Plan Page 4 of 9
condition of primary water meters, an analysis of water line breaks, an evaluation of underground
leakage potential, and provides recommendations for meter replacement.
SECTION 6. LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR
The City administers a leak detection and repair program for its water distribution system. This program
features a work order prioritization system for leaks needing repair and an inventory of equipment and
materials needed to promptly repair all detected or reported leaks. The City’s annual rehabilitation
program to upgrade its water distribution system also addresses high volume leaks. The City also
conducts an annual distribution system rehabilitation program that replaces the high water loss sections
of the distribution system. This program is based on findings of monthly water loss reports and the leak
detection program.
SECTION 7. PUBLIC INFORMATION AND EDUCATION
Water Services’ public education program makes direct outreach to customers through presentations,
booths at community fairs, and tours of its water and wastewater facilities. Indirect contacts include
utility bill inserts, blog posts, social media, radio and television, and similar programs. The City promotes
water conservation issues by informing the public in the following ways:
Offering water conservation audits to all water customers
Providing water conservation information to all customers upon request
Coordinating educational presentations, lectures, and demonstrations for schools, civic groups,
and the general public
Publishing water conservation information on a regular basis in the City’s utility bill insert or
other written form
Participating in community environmental education activities with the City of Bryan, Brazos
Valley Groundwater Conservation District, Brazos County Master Gardeners, and other local
organizations to promote water conservation education
Supporting annual events and demonstrations relating to water conservation and
environmental issues that affect water supply and quality
Promoting the latest innovations in water conservation through partnerships with Texas Water
Development Board’s Water IQ program and EPA’s Water Sense program.
SECTION 8. NON-PROMOTIONAL WATER RATE STRUCTURE
The City utilizes an inclining water rate structure to encourage customers to reduce both peak and
overall water usage, while fairly allocating cost of service to each customer class. Under an inclining rate
structure, the rate per thousand gallons increases as the amount of water used increases. The City first
implemented this inclining water rate structure in Fiscal Year 2008. The rate structure in place as of the
date of this Plan charges monthly service charges based on meter size, plus a uniform rate per thousand
(1,000) gallons up to 10,000 gallons for single-family residential water customers. After 10,000 gallons,
the rate per thousand increases per thousand gallons for the next four usage blocks, up to 26,000
gallons, as detailed in Table 4 below (Resolution 09-27-18e, adopted 9/27/2018).
Commercial rate structure charges monthly service charges based on meter size, plus a varying
volumetric rate usage rate per thousand (1000) gallons for domestic or irrigation usage. (Resolution 09-
27-18e, adopted 9/27/2018).

Table 4. FY 2019 Water Rates
Customer Class Monthly Usage Rate per 1,000 Gallons
Single-Family Residential 0 – 10,000 $2.40
11,000 - 15,000 $3.12
16,000 - 20,000 $3.83
21,000 - 25,000 $4.54
26,000- above $5.26
Meter Fee $10.80
Commercial – Domestic Domestic (inside) usage $2.64
Commercial – Irrigation Irrigation (outside) usage $2.84
Meter Fee Varies by meter size
This rate structure shall be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that the rates adequately recover the
cost of service and meet the goals of this water conservation plan.
SECTION 9. WHOLESALE WATER SUPPLY CONTRACTS
The City will, as part of contracts for sale of water to any other entity re-selling water, require that entity
to adopt applicable provisions of the City's water conservation and drought contingency plan or have a
plan in effect previously adopted and meeting the basic requirements of 30 TAC §288. These provisions
will be through contractual agreement prior to the sale of any water to the water re-seller.
SECTION 10. ADDITIONAL WATER CONSERVATION STRATEGIES TO
ACHIEVE WATER CONSERVATION GOALS
This section describes Best Management Practices developed by the Texas Water Development Board’s
Water Conservation Advisory Council and adopted by the City as a means of achieving specified water
conservation goals.
Conservation Coordinator
A Conservation Coordinator is the individual charged with responsibility for preparing and implementing
the utility’s water conservation and drought contingency plans, preparing and submitting annual
conservation status reports, promoting water conservation programs, and other duties necessary to
carry out implementation of the utility’s conservation program. As of September 1, 2017, this position is
required for retail public water utilities, such as the City of College Station, with 3,300 or more service
connections. The Water Resource Coordinator fulfills this function for the City.
Landscape Irrigation Conservation and Incentives
The City provides information to residential and non-residential customers regarding the methods and
benefits of water conserving landscaping practices and devices, through public education to
homeowners, business owners, landscape architects and designers, and irrigation professionals. The
use of water-efficient landscaping techniques, including drought tolerant plants and grasses is
encouraged for landscaping new homes and commercial areas.
City of College Station Water Conservation Plan Page 6 of 9
The City has a commercial landscape ordinance that requires certain point values based on the size and
type of development. Additional point credits are given to commercial landscapes that employ water-
efficient irrigation systems such as drip irrigation systems when possible or other water conserving
irrigation systems that utilize efficient sprinklers.
The City’s landscape irrigation ordinance was updated in December 2008 to comply with state law
requiring that landscape irrigation systems are designed, installed, and operated in a water conserving
manner. Under this ordinance, a permit and an irrigation plan drawn to scale are required for all
irrigation systems. The irrigation plan must be drawn up by a licensed irrigator, and include location &
type of sensors, backflow prevention devices, and water emission devices (sprinklers), irrigation
controller(s), and valves. A rain shutoff sensor is required, and all emission devices must be installed
according to manufacturer’s specifications for spacing and pressure. The effect of this ordinance is that
new irrigation systems in College Station are designed and installed to operate much more efficiently
than older systems, and procedures are in place to prevent water waste.
The City also works with area landscape supply businesses and nurseries to encourage them to sell
locally adapted, drought tolerant plants and grasses along with efficient irrigation systems, and to
promote use of these materials through demonstrations and advertisements.
The City partners with the Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District (BVGCD) and Texas A&M
Agri-Life to implement innovative methods to promote landscape water conservation. Through a
system of a weather station and rain gauges located throughout the City, customers are able to access
weather-based landscape watering recommendations localized for their neighborhood. Customers can
also receive weekly weather-based landscape watering recommendations via email. The website and
watering recommendations have shown significant savings for College Station since implementation in
2014.
Residential Landscape Irrigation Evaluations
Summertime average water use in College Station is typically twice as high as annual average water use.
That increase is primarily due to outdoor irrigation. Irrigation water is easily wasted due to
overwatering, leaks and broken or misaligned sprinklers.
The City of College Station Water Services Department has partnered with Texas A&M Agri-Life Research
for several years to study the effectiveness of residential water conservation methods. Each year
residential water customers with above average seasonal water use receive a letter containing water
budgets comparing their estimated outdoor water use against an estimated landscape need, as well as
comparing their household water use with neighborhood average household water use. Customers with
above-average seasonal water use are encouraged to sign up for a free landscsape irrigation evaluation.
Landscape irrigation evaluations are offered to residential customers with automatic in-ground irrigation
systems to educate customers about proper irrigation and eliminate wasteful irrigation practices. While
this service is available to all water customers, the program is targeted to water customers with above-
average seasonal water use and customers with high bill complaints. The program is advertised through
utility bill inserts, social media, as well as direct letters to high water use customers.
To date nearly 900 irrigation evaluations have been completed. A Licensed Irrigator conducts the
evaluation, which includes a system checkup, an efficiency check, a recommended irrigation schedule,
and a written report of all problems observed. The City has also provided homeowner associations
City of College Station Water Conservation Plan Page 7 of 9
within high water use neighborhoods with articles regarding the program for publication in newsletters,
and given presentations regarding program specifics, such as procedures and goals.
Plumbing Code and Plumbing Fixture Retrofit Program
The City has adopted the International Plumbing Code, which requires water saving, Ultra Low Flow
(ULF) fixtures to be installed in new construction and in the replacement of plumbing in existing
structures. The City educates residents, plumbers, and contractors on the benefits of retrofitting existing
facilities with water saving devices through its public education program.
The City offers rebates toward the replacement of high-flow toilets with qualifying WaterSense toilets in
residential and commercial structures built prior to 1994. This program is available to residential and
commercial customers, for new construction as well as retrofits. Since 2010, 695 commercial and multi-
family toilets have been replaced, along with 227 single-family residential toilets, saving over 6 million
gallons of water and wastewater.
Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting is an effective method of reducing potable water usage while maintaining healthy
landscapes and avoiding problems due to excessive run-off. Rainwater harvesting is the practice of
collecting and storing rainwater close to its source and using it for nearby needs. This can be done
through a rain barrel, cistern (larger container), or a rain garden.
In 2010 the City began providing customers with education on the proper installation and use of
rainwater harvesting systems, along with a modest rebate for rainwater collection barrels. To date
rebates have been issued for over 150 barrels. The City plans to modify the existing rainwater rebate
program from a set rebate per barrel to a rebate per gallon of water storage. This will incentivize the
purchase and installation of larger rainwater collection systems.
Water Reuse
The City has received authorization from the TCEQ to reuse its treated wastewater effluent as Type I
reuse water, the highest quality of reuse water. This authorization is available for direct reuse projects
as well as indirect reuse through its Bed and Banks permit. The goal for the City’s water reuse program is
to reduce peak demand on the potable (drinking) water system by switching non-potable uses of water,
such as athletic field irrigation, to reuse water.
The City’s first direct reuse installation extended reclaimed water infrastructure to the City’s Veterans
Park and Athletic Complex, reducing demand on the potable water system. Plans are in development to
develop a Water Reuse Implementation Plan that will focus on expanding the water reuse program to
include large volume commercial customers, such as shopping centers and business parks.
Prohibition on Wasting Water
The City’s Drought Contingency Plan includes the following prohibitions on water waste, which apply
year-round:
Operating automatic in-ground or hose-end sprinkler systems between the hours of 10:00 A.M.
and 6:00 P.M.
Allowing water to run off a property or allowing water to pond in the street or parking lot.
Operating an irrigation system with sprinkler heads that are broken or out of adjustment.
City of College Station Water Conservation Plan Page 8 of 9
Failure to repair a controllable leak(s) within a reasonable period after having been given notice
directing the repair of such leak(s).
Operating fountains or ponds without a recirculation device
SECTION 11. METHOD FOR TRACKING EFFECTIVENESS OF WATER
CONSERVATION PLAN
In order to track the effectiveness of the Water Conservation Plan, the City compiles and submits an
annual report on its Water Conservation Plan to TCEQ, which includes the following performance
metrics:
Summary of public information issued in the previous year
Report on meter testing program
Summary of water loss control program
Peak water demand and overall water consumption
Per capita water usage for the previous calendar year.
Evaluation of status of plan and progress toward meeting stated goals
SECTION 12. MEANS OF IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT
The City Manager or his/her designee will act as Administrator of this Water Conservation Plan. The
Administrator shall oversee execution and implementation of all elements of this Plan and is responsible
for overseeing adequate record-keeping for program documentation.
As a means of implementing and enforcing this Plan, all Plan elements discussed in this document are
adopted by City Council Resolution (see Appendix A).
SECTION 13. COORDINATION
This Water Conservation Plan shall work in accordance with the related City of College Station
Ordinance, Drought Contingency and Water Emergency Plan, first adopted in January 2000 and as it may
be revised or amended from time to time.
The City of College Station will provide a copy of this Water Conservation Plan to the Brazos Region

Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance amending the
Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use and Character Map from Estate to Restricted Suburban for
approximately 13 acres, generally located at 1402 Bird Pond Road and 1404 Bird Pond Road.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Neighborhood Integrity
Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item on April 4, 2019 and voted 6-0
to recommend approval.Staff also recommends approval.
Summary: The applicant has requested an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use and
Character Map from Estate to Restricted Suburban as a step toward permitting a residential subdivision on
approximately 13 acres located south of the adjacent Bird Pond Estates. The subject property and properties
to the north and east are primarily designated Estate on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map, while the properties to the south and west across Rock Prairie Road are designated
Restricted Suburban.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City:The subject property is
currently zoned E Estate, and the surrounding areas are designated as Restricted Suburban and
Estate on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. In July 2015, City Council
heard and approved a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character
Map to allow for Suburban Commercial at the intersection of Rock Prairie Road and Bird Pond Road
College Station, TX Printed on 4/18/2019Page 1 of 3

File #:19-0194,Version:1
and Restricted Suburban for the Waterford Heights subdivision along the subject property’s southern
property line. In addition to the Waterford Heights subdivision, the property to the west across Bird
Pond Road is also designated Restricted Suburban on the Future Land Use and Character Map. This
proposed land use is more intense than the future land use designation of Estate to the north and east.
The tract is also located within Growth Area III. Generally, this area consists of land along Rock Prairie
Road surrounded by established rural subdivisions. According to the Comprehensive Plan, due to
service limitations and the prevailing rural character, the area should remain rural in character and be
developed at a low intensity. Since the time of the Plan’s adoption and more recently in this area, sewer
has been extended and fire flow improvements have been made. While Restricted Suburban is more
intense than the current land use designation of Estate, the proposed designation will allow for a
transition from the Medical District and the urban-style Midtown development across Rock Prairie to the
established Bird Pond Estates subdivision.
2.Compatibility with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the
immediate area concerned, the general area, and the City as a whole:The adjacent land uses are
phases of Bird Pond Estates to the north (average 1.25-acre lots with an overall future density of 0.4
dwelling units per acre) and Flying Ace Ranch to the east (an 18-dwelling unit equestrian/duplex
residential development with a density of 0.7 dwelling units per acre). Located further to the east is the
Carter Lake subdivision. A Restricted Suburban development would provide an appropriate transition
from the more intense existing duplex residential development to the existing estate development.
Current agricultural land located to the south and west across Bird Pond Road are designated as future
Restricted Suburban and Suburban Commercial while current agricultural land located further to the
south across Rock Prairie Road has been planned for a future mixed-use development. The proposed
amendment is consistent with these future land use and character designations.
3.Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: This area is not recognized as
environmentally sensitive. However, Growth Area III states that “due to the prevailing rural character,
this area should remain rural in character and be developed at a low intensity. A significant portion of
the total area shall be retained as natural areas, parks, or open spaces with land uses clustered or
placed on large lots.” While a Restricted Suburban Designation will not require open space within the
development, the larger region will maintain a significant amount of natural area due to the tributaries
and floodplain in this area.
4.Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation
network:Domestic water service and fire flow coverage will be provided by Wellborn Special Utility
District which has indicated the ability to serve the proposed subdivision.
Sanitary sewer will be provided by the City of College Station. There is a recently completed sewer
main through the property on the south side of Rock Prairie that Waterford Heights Phase 1 will
connect into, and Phase 2 will construct sewer to the subject property.
The Thoroughfare Plan in this area has limited connectivity due to nearby Carter’s Creek and
floodplain to the north and existing rural residential developments in the area. A change in the future
land use designation of the proposed scale, however, will not have a substantial impact on the capacity
of the planned thoroughfares in the area to support the development.
There is no FEMA regulated floodplain identified on the tract. The development will be required to
comply with the City’s drainage ordinance.
5.Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan:The goal
College Station, TX Printed on 4/18/2019Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:19-0194,Version:1
for College Station’s Future Land Use and Character is to create a community with strong, unique
neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts, distinct corridors, and a protected and
enhanced natural environment. The subject property and surrounding area to the north and east are
identified in the Comprehensive Plan as part of Growth Area III. Growth Area III states that “due to the
prevailing rural character, this area should remain rural in character and be developed at a low
intensity. A significant portion of the total area shall be retained as natural areas, parks, or open
spaces with land uses clustered or placed on large lots.”
The proposed amendment shifts the existing Restricted Suburban designation further to the north to
encompass all of the subject property. Further amendments to allow more intense land uses in this
area are discouraged due to a limited future street network and utility constraints in this area, as well as
to retain the existing rural character anticipated by the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff believes there is limited opportunity to expand the Restricted Suburban land use further east due
to the majority of the area being comprised of either large amounts of floodplain or existing estate and
rural homes. The request neither furthers, nor limits the general goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
However, the amendment limits more specific goals stated as a part of Growth Area III which indicates
a desire to protect the prevailing rural character of this area.

Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance 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 E Estate to PDD Planned Development
District on approximately 13 acres of land, generally located at 1402 Bird Pond Road and 1404 Bird Pond
Road.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Neighborhood Integrity
Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item on April 4, 2019 and voted 6-0
to recommend approval of the PDD and associated Concept Plan, including a proposed street extension
modification. Staff also recommends approval of the PDD Planned Development District zoning, but believes
the street extension should be made.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 13 acres located at 1402 and 1404 Bird Pond Road from E
Estate to PDD Planned Development District with a base zoning district of RS Restricted Suburban. For
consistency, the Concept Plan includes Restricted Suburban-sized lots for the portion of the development
adjacent to the developing Waterford Heights Subdivision, and Estate-style lots adjacent to the existing Bird
Pond Estates (Area 1 on the Concept Plan).

REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The existing Future Land
Use and Character designation on the property is “Estate,” with a pending application to amend the
Comprehensive Plan to “Restricted Suburban.” The property is also located in Growth Area III.
Generally, this area consists of land along Rock Prairie Road surrounded by established rural
subdivisions. According to the Comprehensive Plan, due to service limitations and the prevailing rural
character, the area should remain rural in character and be developed at a low intensity.
“Estate” is a designation for areas with a prevailing rural character that should have limited
development activities consisting of low-density single-family of one acre lots (or denser if clustered).
“Restricted Suburban” is a designation for areas that should have a moderate level of development
with larger lots (i.e.: 10,000 square feet or smaller if clustered around open space). To accomplish this
desired character, the City adopted the RS Restricted Suburban zoning district in 2013.
If the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Character Map is approved,
the proposed rezoning will be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Growth Area III still
speaks to low intensity development due to service constraints and prevailing rural character, but area
infrastructure has been recently improved that allows for some additional density that can be
compatible with larger-lot residential.
2.Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of
the surrounding area:The adjacent land uses are phases of Bird Pond Estates to the north (acreage
lots with an average lot size of 1.25 acres and an overall future density of 0.4 dwelling units per acre)
and Flying Ace Ranch to the southeast (a non-conforming equestrian/duplex residential development
with 18 dwelling units and a density of 0.7 dwelling units per acre).
The surrounding area is currently developed as various types of rural residential or used for agricultural
purposes. The character of the proposed development may be compatible with existing surrounding land
uses and prevailing rural character of the area as a transition in intensity from the proposed Medical
District area located to the south across Rock Prairie Road.
3.Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The
size and location of the subject property is suitable for residential uses. The property is relatively flat with
no floodplain. With the community benefit to provide a transition in density within the subject property
between the RS Restricted Suburban zoning to the south and the established Bird Pond Estates to the
north zoned E Estate, the proposed Planned Development District with a base zoning district of RS
Restricted Suburban is suitable for this property.
4.Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district:Domestic water and fire
flow service for this tract will be provided by Wellborn SUD. Wastewater service for this tract will be
provided by College Station. The tract has an 8” water and an 8” sewer line being stubbed to the
southwest corner of the lot, in conjunction with the projected street from Waterford Heights Phase 2.
Detention is required in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Drainage and any other
infrastructure required with the site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with
the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. The PDD includes the location of proposed stormwater detention
within this tract.
Bird Pond Road is classified as a future 4-lane Major Arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. The City
reconstructed Bird Pond Road in 2014 as a two-lane rural roadway. Traffic counts taken along Bird Pond
Road in fall 2017 showed less than 2,000 vehicles per day utilize it, indicating that there is capacity for
College Station, TX Printed on 4/18/2019Page 2 of 5
powered by Legistar™
File #:19-0195,Version:1
additional traffic on the existing cross section. The proposed Concept Plan depicts access to Bird Pond
Road and Crystal Lane, which is being projected to this tract by the Waterford Heights subdivision
currently under construction.
The applicant is requesting a modification with the PDD to not connect the proposed development to the
existing projection of Yellow Tanger Court from Bird Pond Estates. The request is in response to the
desires of the Bird Pond Estates residents and Homeowners Association, but Staff believes approval of
this modification request will limit connectivity and southward movement from Bird Pond Estates to Rock
Prairie Road for residents, emergency services, and sanitation.
A traffic impact analysis was not required for the proposed request, as the anticipated traffic generation
falls below the threshold to require an analysis.
5.The marketability of the property: The property can be marketed under the current zoning which
allows for large-lot residential uses. However, according to the applicant, “the marketability of lots for a
Restricted Suburban subdivision will be much higher as some of the Estate lots in Bird Pond Estates
have not been developed at this time despite being available for years.” The applicant anticipates the
homes to be similar to those of Wood Creek, Emerald Forest, Foxfire, and Bird Pond Estates.
REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN
The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed building and parking
areas as well as other site related features. In proposing a PDD, an applicant may also request
variations to the general platting and site development standards provided that those variations are
outweighed by demonstrated community benefits of the proposed development. The Unified
Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria as the basis for reviewing PDD Concept
Plans:
1.The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the
character of the surrounding area;
2.The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and
any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this Section;
3.The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely
affect adjacent development;
4.Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public street directly
or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners association;
5.The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to,
parks, schools, and other public facilities;
6.The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
7.The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle, or
pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the
proposed use and other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land
uses in the area.
General:
As provided by the applicant, the stated purpose and intent of the requested PDD is “to provide single-
family Restricted Suburban lots to meet the high demand for lots near the Medical District which will have
more urban land uses.”
The Concept Plan proposes a mixed-density residential development that physically appears to be similar
to the adjacent residential subdivisions. Buildings are proposed to have a maximum of 35 feet in height.

Access from Bird Pond Road is proposed, with a connection to the developing Waterford Heights
subdivision to the south.
Modifications Requested:RS Restricted Suburban is proposed as the base zoning district with a
modification to not connect the proposed development to the existing projection of Yellow Tanger Court
from Bird Pond Estates. The developer has requested this modification in response to the desires of the
Bird Pond Estates Homeowners Association, as detailed in the accompanying letter of support from the
HOA.
Staff is recommending denial of this modification request. The subject tract was originally planned as
Phase 3 of the Bird Pond Estates subdivision, but never constructed. Yellow Tanger Court stubs to the
subject tract from Bird Pond Estates and Crystal Lane projects from Waterford Heights currently under
construction as shown below.
The subdivision regulations require streets stubbed to a tract to be continued with development. The
connection to Yellow Tanger Court will provide a second point of access for the Bird Pond Estates
subdivision and increase connectivity. It also allows for faster response times for emergency service
vehicles and allows sanitation to operate more efficiently, saving City resources of additional vehicle
miles, fuel, and time by removing the need to utilize Bird Pond Road, a future 4-lane Major Arterial, to
travel between subdivisions. As only local traffic would regularly use this entrance, concerns regarding
traffic from the proposed subdivision through Bird Pond Estates to access Bird Pond Road should be
alleviated based on the configuration of existing and proposed streets.
Community Benefits:The applicant offers the following as community benefits to off-set the
requested modification: less dense Estate-style lots in Area 1 on the Concept Plan to allow for a
transition to the abutting established Bird Pond Estates subdivision.

Presentation, discussion, and possible action on approving a Professional Architectural &
Engineering Contract with Wantman Group, Inc. in the amount of $188,035, to complete a Northgate
District Study and Plan to Address Operational Challenges.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: (Select all that apply)
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Neighborhood Integrity
·Diverse Growing Economy
·Improving Mobility
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the contract.
Summary: This contract will allow the City to hire Wantman Group, Inc. to complete a study of the
Northgate District. Big Red Dog Engineering, a division of Wantman Group, Inc., will be performing
the work and was selected from six (6) responses received through a Request for Qualifications
process.
The objective of the study and mobility/operations plan is to manage existing and future pedestrian,
vehicular,and cyclist traffic in the Northgate District in order to improve the safety of residents,
workers,patrons,and students in the area.Big Red Dog Engineering and the project team
collectively have a comprehensive history of conducting studies and plans and can bring a unique
perspective to this opportunity. There are four elements to the proposed project approach:
1.Identify locations within the Northgate District that have the potential for improved
mobility and operations.
2.Identify additional uses for the public realm that could serve as vibrant centers of activity
for the Northgate District.Parks,plazas,and open space networks can serve to create
stronger connections within the area.Analyze key periods during different times/days of the
week to understand the differing conditions and operations that the Northgate DistrictCollege Station, TX Printed on 4/18/2019Page 1 of 2

week to understand the differing conditions and operations that the Northgate District
experiences.
3.To improve public safety and accessibility,locate opportunities to improve and address
lighting,landscaping,and solid waste needs in the Northgate District while considering the use
and implementation of wireless broadband connectivity.
4.Provide a set of cost estimates,along with funding strategies,potential quick-build
options, and a priority project list for short-term, near-term, and long-term implementation.
The increase in high-density residential development (approximately 5,000 new bedrooms in 2019 in
the Northgate District along with an additional 2,000 bedrooms between College Main and Texas
Avenue in the last five years) has created safety and mobility concerns for people walking, biking,
and driving during typical weekdays and weekend evenings. The last plan of that addressed
development in the Northgate District was completed in 2003. Since that time, most of the single-
family residential areas have transitioned to multi-family high density development. Commercial
areas have transitioned from a diverse mix of businesses to an entertainment district that includes
approximately 30 bars with several only focusing on night time operations.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds are budgeted and available in the Northgate District Fund. This
funding was made available through a 2019 SLA. $125,000 from General Funds and $125,000 from
the Northgate District Fund. Approximately $35,000 has been spent for traffic counts in the area in
preparation for the plan.
Attachments:None. A copy of the contract is available in the City Secretary's Office.

Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the contract and authorization for the City
Manager to execute the contract and recommends approval of the resolution declaring intention to
reimburse certain expenditures with proceeds from debt.
Summary:This project includes the construction of a 48-inch and 54-inch PVC sanitary sewer line from
the Lick Creek WWTP, north, to W.D. Fitch. The 54-inch sewer line extends from the Lick Creek WWTP
north through Lick Creek Park up to the southern boundary of the Pebble Creek golf course. The sewer
line will reduce to a 48-inch line and continue north through the Pebble Creek golf course to tie onto an
existing 48-inch line just north of W.D. Fitch. Two pipe material options were bid with the project, PVC and
Fiberglass Reinforced Pipe. PVC was chosen based on the significant cost savings as compared to
Fiberglass Reinforced pipe. This line has been identified in the wastewater master plan and in the future
will carry diverted flows from Carter Creek WWTP to the Lick Creek plant.
Reviewed and Approved by Legal: Yes

Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding the appointment of City Council, Planning & Zoning
Commission, and citizen representatives to the Comprehensive Plan Evaluation Committee.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
Recommendation: At their March 21st Planning & Zoning Commission Retreat, the Commission recommended
that the Comprehensive Plan Evaluation Committee (CPEC) consist of three City Council members, three P&Z
Commissioners, and approximately five citizens, including one Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) representative.
On April 18, 2019, the Commission considered recommendations for P&Z member appointments. A written
final report of the Commission’s recommendation will be provided to the City Council during the consideration
of this item.
Summary: The Comprehensive Plan Evaluation Committee (CPEC) will serve as the steering committee for
the Comprehensive Plan 10-Year review process and will provide direction in the development of the
Comprehensive Plan 10-Year Evaluation and Appraisal Report.
The committee is expected to meet approximately 7-10 times during a 12-month period in workshop-type

champion this process with the general public.
The CPEC will also make decisions related to the public outreach and participation plan, provide policy
guidance based on public input and best practices from other cities, help define land use and transportation
scenarios to be analyzed and presented to the public, and make final recommendations of the preferred land
use and transportation scenario to be included in the Comprehensive Plan 10-Year Evaluation and Appraisal
Report.
The City Secretary’s Office began accepting citizen applications for the CPEC on March 20 th and the
application process was closed on April 15th.
