Rabbits - Permit requirements. (3.6): Councilmember Maloney made a statement regarding the new traffic signal at the intersection of Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818) and Dartmouth Drive. (3.7): Aubrey Nettles, Economic Development Manager, explained that this property located within the boundaries of the Interlocal Agreement, the District will develop and dedicate parks to the City through the standard development dedication process. Additionally, the District will maintain and program parks and related facilities. Mrs. Nettles also stated that the District agrees at its sole cost and expense to perform the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the park and park facilities and to perform ordinary repairs and maintenance. The District has the right to receive all revenue collected from District programmed activities held within these park and park facilities. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Crompton and a second by Councilmember Harvell the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to postpone Consent Item 3.7 from the vote of the Consent Items.

Pursuant to Sect. 3909.110 and 3909.111 Texas Special District Laws Code and Subchapter J, Chapter 49 Texas Water Code, the District must obtain City approval for the annexation of land and subsequent issuance of bond indebtedness; therefore, the District has come to the City for consent. (3.14): Jeff Capps, Interim City Manager, explained that on March 2, 2021, Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued Executive Order GA-34, which provided that while individuals are strongly encouraged to wear face coverings over the nose and mouth wherever it is not feasible to maintain six feet of social distancing from another person not in the same household, no person may be required by any jurisdiction to wear or to mandate the wearing of a face covering. This goes into effect at 12:01 a.m. on March 10, 2021. In order to not be in conflict with GA-34, staff recommends that Council repeal Ordinance No. 2020-4197. 5. Workshop Agenda 5.1 Presentation, discussion, and possible action on the public input gathered on the proposed Restricted Occupancy Overlay ordinance. Alyssa Halle-Schramm, Planning and Development, stated that City Council requested that City staff draft a Restricted Occupancy Overlay (ROO) ordinance and associated handbook that would allow single-family property owners the option to request an overlay zoning restricting occupancy to no more than two unrelated persons in their subdivision. The Council asked for a process that mirrored the City’s Neighborhood Conservation Overlay ordinance and handbook, as well as used the City of Bryan’s Residential-Neighborhood Conservation zoning district as a base. Ms. Halle- Schramm explained that staff conducted research, drafted an ordinance and handbook, and presented these during workshop sessions of the Planning & Zoning Commission on June 18, 2020, and City Council on June 25, 2020. The Council requested additional public input on a few key items so that everyone impacted and particularly neighborhoods, the real estate and development community, and university students could provide meaningful input. Staff began that process in August 2020 and quickly identified there were substantial concerns regarding the City’s definition of “related’ and how it affected the determination of a “family.” In response to citizen concern and Council direction, staff paused the ROO public input process and overhauled the definitions to address their restrictive nature and modernize them in accordance with legal precedent. The updated definitions, which substantially revised “family” and removed “related,” were adopted by the City Council on December 10, 2020. With the new “family” definition in place, staff launched the ROO public input process. Staff hosted three public input meetings that were specifically tailored to the aforementioned groups, including February 8 for the real estate and development community, February 22 for university students, and February 23 for neighborhood organizations. Staff also hosted an online poll from February 9 through 26. At approximately 6:23 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened for Citizens Comments. Jeff Leatherwood, College Station, came before Council representing a group to express that they are not in support of the proposed ROO and how disappointed they are that this matter is before council again. Mr. Leatherwood stated that the ROO is not in the best interest of the community and its supporters are misrepresenting facts to gain support. He stated that passing this ROO would Page 9 of 288 WKSHP031121 Minutes Page 4 take rights away from current and future property owners and still fail to make property more affordable or address concerns surrounding student housing. Donald Deere, College Station, came before Council representing a group to express their concerns on a potential ROO which could remove existing rights and harm the financial interests of owners in the process. If an ordinance was put into effect it should follow the structure and not the owner, thus allowing grandfathering until the structure was substantially changed. He believes the structure determines the use and largely helps determine the character of the neighborhood. Fred Dupriest, College Station, came before Council representing a group to express support for the proposed ROO and particularly the 50% +1 option for implementation. He stated that at higher thresholds it becomes very difficult for the protections of a potential ROO to be enacted and by his estimations only 15-18% of the 560 subdivisions are likely to obtain protection. Also, he believes rentals in neighborhoods harm homeowners by artificially raising home prices and taxes, and has a disproportionate effect on lower income home owners. Charles Coats, College Station, stated that he is not in support of the ROO. He works with Habitat of Humanity and believes that there should be an exception for owner occupied rentals. Sherry Frisk, College Station, stated that she has been a longtime resident who believes that to preserve neighborhoods and history the ROO could help with those. David Higdon, College Station, stated that he has lived in 7 cities in the last 40 years and he has seen bad communities and good communities. He believes that to protect neighborhoods the proposed ROO should be moved forward. Robert McGeachin, College Station, stated he is a former student who lived in a rental home and eventually bought into the city. He believes that the nature of home rental has changed over time and the ROO could help restore or preserve neighborhoods. Diana Wood, College Station, stated that she is in support of the ROO as it helps protect communities and prevents the home from being turned into a rent generating business. Andra Wisian, College Station, stated that she owns a home which she bought for her children to attend college but now rents it. She believes the ROO is unnecessary and intrusive on individuals and property owners rights. Richard Woodward, College Station, stated that he supports the ROO and adopting this proposed ordinance will have minimal negative impact on rental property values. Kathleen Harrison, College Station, stated that she is not in support of the ROO. She explained that she bought a home for her college student and this will not achieve its goal of protecting neighborhoods if adopted. Patricia McDermott, College Station, explained that she has lived in College Station since 1976 but has been in Southside since 1999. Southside is now 75% student population and she is requesting that council help by enacting a ROO as tool for neighborhoods. Aundrea Ellis, College Station, came before council in support of the proposed ROO as she believes it would bring integrity back to a peaceful neighborhood and to remove the havoc that the rental properties have caused. Page 10 of 288 WKSHP031121 Minutes Page 5 Linda Lee, College Station, stated that she is in support of the proposed ROO and explained that while she has been waiting on her home to be built, she is living in a rental home. She stated that many of the rental homes around her have been a problem with noise, traffic, safety of children and the amount of trash. Elianor Vessali, College Station, stated that she does not support the ROO and the rent-by-the- room model forwarded by many supporters has been overstated in its use. This ordinance is based on false logic and a desire to impose special interest group standards on property owners. Margrit Moores, College Station, stated that a ROO will help stop the cancer that is eating away at local family neighborhoods. She also stated if you do not live in this situation every day you cannot understand what families are going through with the commercial rent model in neighborhoods. Virgia Thomas, College Station, stated that she is in support of the proposed ROO and suggested that investors come and live in her neighborhood for a while and see what is happening. Ms. Thomas explained that because of the traffic, noise, trash, drugs, and the overcrowding her elderly mother and mother in law cannot even walk down the sidewalks. There being no comments, the Citizens Comments was closed at 7:49 p.m. A majority of Council directed staff to bring this item back as a regular agenda item at a special Council meeting and include a draft ordinance incorporating the required petition percentage of property owners in support of the ROO at 50% plus 1 and include a legacy clause regarding substantial structural alterations, demolition, and lots divided. 6. Council Calendar Council reviewed the calendar. 7. Discussion, review, and possible action regarding the following meetings: Animal Shelter Board, Arts Council of Brazos Valley, Architectural Advisory Committee, Audit Committee, Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Advisory Board, Bio-Corridor Board of Adjustments, Brazos County Health Dept., Brazos Valley Council of Governments, Brazos Valley Economic Development Corporation, Bryan/College Station Chamber of Commerce, Budget and Finance Committee, BVSWMA, BVWACS, Census Committee Group, Compensation and Benefits Committee, Comprehensive Plan Evaluation Committee, Experience Bryan- College Station, Design Review Board, Economic Development Committee, Gulf Coast Strategic Highway Coalition, Historic Preservation Committee, Interfaith Dialogue Association, Intergovernmental Committee, Joint Relief Funding Review Committee, Landmark Commission, Library Board, Metropolitan Planning Organization, Operation Restart, Parks and Recreation Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, Research Valley Technology Council, Regional Transportation Committee for Council of Governments, Sister Cities Association, Spring Creek Local Government Corporation, Transportation and Mobility Committee, TAMU Student Senate, Texas Municipal League, Walk with the Mayor, YMCA, Zoning Board of Adjustments, (Notice of Agendas posted on City Hall bulletin board.)

Describe the experience of the firm in the last thirty-six (36) months in performing consulting services in similar size and scope In 2003, ACS began an in-house software project to incorporate the many years of experience into a streamlined web and mobile solution. This solution provides the flexibility to allow the customer to implement and manage any meter reading demand from one location. Because of the years of involvement in the utility’s process of gathering meter reading data from the field, ACS gained valuable knowledge regarding accurate field data acquisition and its expedition to the billing system, effective reporting and verification of misread or unread accounts, and, the need to provide secure access to information by the client. While ACS grooms our service and meter reading technicians to be the most capable and experienced in the water industry, the powerful software mobile solution produced by ACS now controls the work flow of each ACS meter reader to produce the highest accuracy and reliability of data provided to the utility that is found in the industry today. ACS has documented experience with utilities throughout the US, Canada and Central America and is project managing many others at the present time. Customers such as Atascadero Mutual Water has been using the ACS contract meter reading services since the late 1970s, whereas clients such as Sacramento County and Paso Robles, CA have used the services provided by ACS since the 1980s and 90s. Currently over 50 utilities Page 39 of 288 5 (representing over 10 million meters annually read) across the country are using the ACS Contract Meter Reading service and the Cloud SST meter reading product. Over 30 additional utilities are using the ACS Cloud SST meter reading product in their primary read gathering process.

Proposals must include a narrative description of the Firms’ plan for accomplishing the work and services to be provided to the City. ACS will continue to make use of the powerful ACS Cloud Smart Server Technology meter reading system that was originally implemented at the City of College Station during the first term contract. The mobile handheld and web-based software guides the meter reader throughout the day’s work flow process and strictly ensures accountability, accuracy and reliability in the meter reading data captured and returned to the client. Scheduled routes and cycles prepared by the City and regularly assigned to the ACS meter readers will be read daily with an urgency and awareness of required read and completion schedules to ensure timely billing. Meter reading exception, field problems, maintenance issues during the day that are observed or encountered by the ACS meter reader will be noted and communicated through codes, photos, notes to the web server or in the case of very serious issues, direct to the ACS Supervisor. Alexander’s Outline of the Number of Personnel for this Contract ACS will use the following personnel to complete the daily read portions as scheduled and assigned through the City’s route planning: 1 Regional Manager (Mike Lakes) 1 Supervisor (Matt Sotello) 1 Jr. Supervisor (Jose Garza) 8 Meter Readers Alexander’s Products used in Our Solution Hand Tools Including: Pliers for lifting Lids Handhelds for recording meter readings (ACS uses an Ultra-Rugged Android based Smart phone from Kyocera using a Verizon M2M connection) Metal Detectors VersaProbe Touch Read Wands (as required) Software Including: Cloud Smart Server Technology Meter Reading System The ability of ACS to provide superior performance in meter reading data collection through experienced and conscientious field personnel is enhanced greatly by the use of the ACS Cloud Smart Server Technology meter reading product. Since the Cloud SST product is web based, constant communication and notification can be provided to client management via email and text message regarding the status of read and the various unread and misread conditions coming from the field. Page 44 of 288 10 All field data is made live on the client’s secure database portion of the Cloud Smart Server from the first read to the last. Data is provided in “real-time since ACS crews use wireless rugged handheld technology in the field to transfer data to the web server. This simple solution allows for our Supervisors to respond to early reading exceptions as they occur. Mis-reads, unreads and problem meters can be quickly addressed as the information is passed from the field to the ACS Supervisor electronically. The web-based reports populate from the beginning of the read cycle and become complete upon the last meter read in the cycle. Cloud SST comes with dozens of standard reports, yet customized reporting is available by request of each ACS client. When a reading cycle is complete, an email or text message can be sent to an authorized customer manager or staff member at the City of College Station. There are many automated notifications that are triggered by different reading events, and all reports can be accessed from the client’s Cloud SST web site. This allows for the most efficient sharing of data possible between client’s key personnel, supervisors and managers. The ACS Cloud SST meter reading product has been interfaced seamlessly to the City of College Station’s billing system (by virtue of the previous contract term) and will remain in the upcoming contract. Because this interface is currently set and running, there will be no requirement to alter any of the existing interface formats for the upload and download files as related to the City of College Station’s billing system. As a result of the implementation and use of the ACS Cloud meter reading system many operational benefits are achieved because of ACS personnel and ACS’ latest developed software and handheld technology, and, intuitive meter reading concepts. Through implementation and use of features provided by the Cloud SST product and experience of the ACS meter reading crew at College Station a number of high-level efficiency and successes help improve meter reading operations at the City of College Station: • Consistent and Uninterrupted Meter Reading – ACS’ experienced and professional meter readers provide consistently high-quality service in gathering and providing meter reads daily for the City of College Station, TX. Meter readers are trained and managed in an extremely effective manner by capable ACS managers and field supervisors. This will continue going forward. • Timely Billing – The City of College Station is assured timely billing results through a successful program of, fast wireless communications, real time read management, and efficient reread processing. Using the Cloud SST wireless from field Handheld to Web Server, data is provided to the Utility on-time for each billing requirement. • Accuracy – Continued use of the Programmed Meter ID match and the Certified Photo features in the Cloud SST meter reading product ensures greater accuracy and reduces re-read requirements that has resulted in greater than 99.8% accuracy for every client. • Cost Efficiency – The implementation of the Cloud SST meter reading product and ACS experienced meter crews eliminate inefficient and redundant administrative costs, as well as costs associated with capital assets and human resources management. Page 45 of 288 11 • Accountability – The Certified Read Photo and GPS location taken at problem meters, as well as the Meter ID Lock feature eliminates rereads and provides irrefutable proof to the City that the ACS meter reader was at the correct meter and that the read was accurate. • Reports and Compatibility – The City of College Station has a secure gateway through the CSST portal to access reports, read status and history, and, along with a seamless interface to existing mainframe and billing products. • Re-Routing – An optional feature of the Cloud SST is a rerouting methodology in the Cloud SST product that assists clients in reducing reading costs while obtaining 99.8% or greater accuracy. ACS takes existing routes, and, independent and without disruption of the billing order, organizes them for the fastest, most accurate path to obtaining the reads. • Customer Service – The meter readers deployed by ACS at the City of College Station are trained and experienced to notice existing or potential problems in the meter reading environment. They are trained to provide valuable Customer Service communication in reporting these problems (through codes, photos and notes on the handheld) which are transmitted back with each reading and problem meter. • Certified Reads – The ACS meter readers will continue to collect information regarding critical reads at the meter with irrefutable verification based upon Photo, GPS coordinates, Date, Time and ID Match. The Photo, GPS Coordinates, Date and Time are provided to the City of College Station staff via the web-server based software. • Regular ACS Supervisor to College Station Personnel Contact – The ACS field supervisor and customer project leader are in contact regularly through the process of our meter reader’s daily service to the client. Contact is made regularly at frequencies of 2 to 3 times each week or whenever needed. Work processes, field issues, new policy and adjusted direction from the utility are part of the discussions that occur between the two managers. 2. Proposals must indicate a clear understanding of the scope of work, including a detailed project plan for this engagement outlying major tasks and responsibilities, time frames, and staff assigned for each category of the scope of work identified above. Alexander’s Contract Services understands the City’s need to accurately and in timely manner have all the water and electric meter reads performed each month. The reading process should be based upon the timing schedule provided by the City for each route and cycle within the system. It is important also that exceptions to standard reading and conditions found in the field which are associated with the meter or property are reported by the ACS meter reader immediately (either through notes, comments or photos taken at the meter, or, in extreme cases, through direct calls through Supervisors who will then work with the City of reported issues). Alexander’s also understands the importance throughout this contract of adherence to contract terms and requirements, as well as, respect for the City, private properties and residences. All care will be taken to ensure that ACS meter readers are consistently trained in safety measures in the field, proper read processes for both water and electric meters, importance of highlighted read Page 46 of 288 12 processes such as “Rush Week” read activities, exception reporting and proper personal conduct while in the field. Alexander’s meter readers and managers focus on ensuring that the current College Station billing schedule for meter reads is strictly adhered to. ACS ensures that all reads will be provided in the MVRS data format as requested by the City of College Station and is provided in a regular and timely manner. ACS meter readers and field management understand the need to make use of the VersaProbe for some of the water meters and are prepared to do so along with manually entered reads. Reading codes provided by the City are used by the ACS meter readers with an emphasis on ensuring exception reporting from the meter is paramount along with the reading as is outlined in the requirements of the reading contract. With these understandings in mind and others required by contract, but not listed, Alexander’s proposes the following project plan for the new contract: ACS Proposed Project Plan with Major Tasks for The City of College Station Utility Meter Reading Services Alexander’s Contract Services has created this initial Project Plan for the City of College Station with time tables based upon the City’s award of contract.

Page 60 of 288 INJURY AND ILLNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM Page 2 ABOUT THIS MODEL PROGRAM Every California employer must establish, implement and maintain a written Injury and Illness Prevention (IIP) Program and a copy must be maintained at each worksite or at a central worksite if the employer has non-fixed worksites. The requirements for establishing, implementing and maintaining an effective written Injury and Illness Prevention Program are contained in Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 3203 (T8 CCR 3203) and consist of the following eight elements: Responsibility Compliance Communication Hazard Assessment Accident/Exposure Investigation Hazard Correction Training and Instruction Recordkeeping This model program has been prepared for use by employers in industries which have been determined by Cal/OSHA to be non-high hazard. You are not required to use this program. However, any employer in an industry which has been determined by Cal/OSHA as being non-high hazard who adopts, posts, and implements this model program in good faith is not subject to assessment of a civil penalty for a first violation of T8 CCR 3203. Proper use of this model program requires the IIP Program administrator of Alexander’s Contract Services, Inc. to carefully review the requirements for each of the eight IIP Program elements found in this model program, fill in the appropriate blank spaces and check those items that are applicable to the workplace. The recordkeeping section requires that the IIP Program administrator select and implement the category appropriate for your establishment. Sample forms for hazard assessment and correction, accident/exposure investigation, and worker training and instruction are provided with this model program.

NAME (Print) DEPARTMENT NAME (Signature) DATE Page 69 of 288 1 Heat Illness Prevention Program Reference Standard California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 3395 Purpose The purpose of the Heat Illness Prevention Program is to meet the requirements set forth in the Standard and to serve as a required supplement of the Injury and Illness Prevention (IIP) Program. This program establishes procedures and provides information to ensure that employees are knowledgeable in the prevention and recognition of heat stress to ensure their own safety and the safety of others. Definitions Acclimatization: The temporary adaptation of the body to work in the heat that occurs gradually when a person is exposed to it. Acclimatization peaks in most people within 4 to 14 days of regular work for at least 2 hours per day in the heat. Heat Illness: Refers to a serious medical condition resulting from the body’s inability to cope with a particular heat load and includes heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Environmental Risk Factors for Heat Illness: Working conditions that create the possibility that heat illness could occur include air temperature, relative humidity, radiant heat from the sun and other sources, conductive heat sources such as the ground, air movement, workload severity and duration, protective clothing and personal protective equipment worn by workers. Personal Risk Factors for Heat Illness: Risk factors, such as an individual’s age, degree of acclimatization, health, water consumption, alcohol consumption, caffeine consumption and use of prescription medications, which affect the body’s water retention or other physiological responses to heat. Landscaping: Providing landscape care and maintenance services and/or installing trees, shrubs, plants, lawns or gardens, or providing these services in conjunction with the design of landscape plants and/or the construction/installation of walkways, retaining walls, decks, fences, ponds and similar structures, except for employment by an employer who operates a fixed establishment where the work is to be performed and where drinking water is plumbed. Potentially Impacted Employees: Employees whose job tasks expose them to environmental risk factors for heat illness. Shade: The blockage of direct sunlight. One indicator that blockage is sufficient is when objects do not cast a shadow in the area of blocked sunlight. Shade is not adequate when heat in the area of shade defeats the purpose of shade, which is to allow the body to cool. Shade may be provided by any natural or artificial means that do not expose employees to unsafe or unhealthy conditions. Temperature: Dry bulb temperature in degrees Fahrenheit obtainable by using a thermometer to measure the outdoor temperature in an area where there is no shade. While the measurement must be taken in an area with full sunlight, the bulb or sensor should be shielded from direct contact by sunlight while taking the measurement.

Training information shall include, but is not limited to, the topics listed in the training section of this program. All potentially impacted employees, and supervisors who supervise these employees, must be trained on the risks and prevention of heat illness, including how to recognize heat illness symptoms and how to respond when they appear. Recordkeeping A record of training given to employees and supervisors shall be retained by the company for a minimum of three years. This can be accomplished by requiring employees to sign their name to a training roster when they receive the required training (see Appendix A). Access to Records All records shall be provided upon request to employees, former employees and representatives of employees. Procedures Identification of Hazard All employees shall be identified who are required to work where environmental risk factors for heat illness are present. Identification of potentially impacted employees will be made at the department level, and notifications will be provided to the Health & Safety Coordinator. Potentially Impacted Employees Training shall be provided for all potentially impacted employees, and their supervisors, working where environmental risk factors for heat illness are present. Training information shall include, but not be limited to, the topics listed in the training section of this written program. All potentially impacted employees and their supervisors must be trained on the risk and prevention of heat illness, including how to recognize symptoms and how to respond should symptoms be present. Employee Protection • One quart per hour of drinking water must be available at all times, for each employee, for the duration of their shift, while working outdoors in the heat. Supervisors shall remind employees to drink frequently. • Employees must have access to a shaded area to prevent or recover from heat illness symptoms and where they can take rest breaks. • When the temperature exceeds 85 degrees F, employees must have access to one or more areas with shade that are either open to the air or provided with ventilation or cooling. • If these procedures are unfeasible or unsafe, employees will use alternative procedures for access to shade. • When the temperature is less than 85 degrees F, shade will be provided upon request. • Whenever employees feel the need to do so, they can take a cool-down rest in the shade for a period for 5 minutes or more to protect themselves from overheating. Training All employees and supervisors working on job tasks where environmental risk factors for heat illness are present must receive training. Supervisors Supervisors that oversee employees performing work that should reasonably be anticipated to result in exposure to the risk of heat illness shall receive effective training on the following topics prior to being assigned to supervise outdoor employees: • The training information required of the employees, as detailed below. • Procedures the supervisor is to follow to implement the provisions of this program. Page 72 of 288 • Procedures the supervisor shall follow when an employee exhibits symptoms consistent with possible heat illness, including emergency response procedures. • How to monitor weather reports and how to respond to hot weather advisories. Employees Effective training shall be provided for affected employees prior to being assigned to work tasks that should reasonably be anticipated to result in exposure to the risk of heat illness to include the following: • The environmental and personal risk factors for heat illness, as well as the added burden of head load on the body caused by exertion, clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE). • Procedures for identifying, evaluating and controlling exposure to environmental risk factors for heat illness. • The importance of frequent consumption of small quantities of water, up to four cups of water per hour, when environmental risk factors for heat illness are present. • The importance of acclimatization. • Different types of heat illness and the common signs and symptoms of heat illness (see Appendix B). • The importance of immediately reporting symptoms or signs of heat illness, in themselves or in co-workers, to their supervisor. • Understanding the procedures for contacting emergency medical services, and if necessary, for transporting employees to a point where they can be reached by emergency medical service. • Procedures for ensuring that, in the event of an emergency, clear and precise direction to the work site can and will be provided to emergency responders. These procedures shall include designating a person to be available to ensure that emergency procedures are invoked when appropriate. Program Audits • An audit of the Heat Illness Prevention Program shall be performed annually to ensure that heat illness prevention procedures are in place and are being properly followed.

NAME (Print) DEPARTMENT NAME (Signature) DATE Page 75 of 288 Appendix B OVERVIEW OF HEAT ILLNESS TYPES, SYMPTOMS AND PREVENTION Page 76 of 288 Overview of Heat Illness Types, Symptoms and Prevention This describes the three major forms of heat illness, how to recognize them and what actions to take to provide first-aid before medical care is provided. Heat Cramps Heat cramps are the most common type of heat-related injury. Heat cramps are muscle spasms which usually affect the arms, legs or stomach. Heat cramps are caused by heavy sweating, especially when water is not replaced quickly enough. Frequently they do not occur until after work, at night or when relaxing. Although heat cramps can be quite painful, they usually don't result in permanent damage. Prevention/First-Aid: Drink an electrolyte solution, such as sports drink, or plenty of water during the day, and try eating more fruits to help keep your body hydrated during hot weather. Heat Exhaustion Heat exhaustion is more serious than heat cramps. It occurs when the body's internal temperature regulating system is overworked, but has not completely shut down. In heat exhaustion, the surface blood vessels and capillaries, which originally enlarged to cool the blood, collapse from loss of body fluids and necessary minerals. This happens when you do not drink enough fluids to replace what you are sweating away. Symptoms Include: Headache, heavy sweating, intense thirst, dizziness, fatigue, loss of coordination, nausea, impaired judgment, loss of appetite, hyperventilation, tingling in hands or feet, anxiety, cool moist skin, weak and rapid pulse (120-200), and low to normal blood pressure. Prevention/First Aid: The employee suffering these symptoms should be moved to a cool location such as a shaded area or air-conditioned building. Have him or her lie down with the feet slightly elevated. Loosen their clothing, apply cool, wet cloths or fan them. Have them drink water or electrolyte drinks. Try to cool them down, and have them checked by medical personnel. Victims of heat exhaustion should avoid strenuous activity for at least a day, and they should continue to drink water to replace lost body fluids. Call 911 if the person becomes non-responsive, refuses water, vomits or loses consciousness Heat Stroke Heat stroke is a life-threatening illness with a high death rate. It occurs when the body has depleted its supply of water and salt, and the victim's core body temperature rises to deadly levels. A heat stroke victim may first suffer heat cramps and/or heat exhaustion before progressing into the heat stroke stage; however this is not always the case. It is important to note that heat stroke symptoms are similar to those of a heart attack. Therefore, it is very important to know how to recognize the signs and symptoms of heat stroke and to check for them any time an employee collapses while working in a hot environment. Symptoms include: A high body temperature (103 degrees F); a distinct absence of sweating; hot red or flushed dry skin; rapid pulse; difficulty breathing; constricted pupils; any/all of the signs or symptoms of heat exhaustion such as dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting or confusion; and possibly more severe systems including bizarre behavior and high blood pressure. Advanced symptoms may be seizure or convulsions, collapse, loss of consciousness and a body temperature of over 108 degrees F. Prevention/First Aid: It is vital to lower a heat stroke victim's body temperature. Quick actions can mean the difference between life and death. Pour water on them, fan them or apply cold packs. Call 911 to get the person medical aid as soon as possible. Page 77 of 288 Appendix C PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT HEAT ILLNESSES Page 78 of 288 PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT HEAT ILLNESSES • Condition yourself for working in hot environments. Start slowly and build up to more physical work. Allow your body to adjust over a few days (acclimatization). • Drink plenty of liquids – hydration is a continuous process. Do not wait until you are thirsty! By then, there is a good chance that you are already on your way to being dehydrated. Electrolyte drinks, such as a sports drink, are good for replacing both water and minerals lost through sweating. Never drink alcohol, and avoid caffeinated beverages like coffee and soda, as these liquids can have the opposite effect and can actually increase the level of dehydration. • Take frequent breaks, especially if you notice you are getting a headache or you start feeling overheated. • Assure that adequate water and shade are available at the job site before work begins. • Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing when working out in the sun. • Immediately report all unsafe conditions and/or concerns to your supervisor or area manager. • For additional information on heat illness prevention, contact your supervisor.

Revisions of section 15 Debt Management and section 17 Operating Reserves/Fund Balances of the FY21 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statement. Sponsor:Mary Ellen Leonard, Director of Fiscal Services Reviewed By CBC:City Council Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding revisions of section 15 Debt Management and section 17 Operating Reserves/Fund Balances of the FY21 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statement. Relationship to Strategic Goals: - Good Governance - Financial Sustainability - Core Services & Infrastructure - Sustainable City Recommendation(s): Staff recommends review and approval of the updated policy sections. Summary: Fiscal and Budgetary Policies are reviewed and adopted by City Council annually with each Approved Annual Budget. As a result of Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, staff is recommending two interim revisions to the Fiscal and Budgetary Policies of the City. 1. Section 15.5 Short Term Obligations has been added regarding Debt Management. The existing policy did not address this type of financing. Minor wording changes to the proceeding paragraphs were also made to address this type of financing. 2. A paragraph was added to Section 17.2 Enterprise Funds for the establishment of Risk Mitigation Funds in order to reduce rate, delivery and other service risks in the event of an emergency. Budget & Financial Summary: None Reviewed & Approved by Legal: No Attachments: 1.Fiscal Manual - Fiscal And Budgetary Policy Statements - Redline Page 132 of 288 Appendix F FISCAL AND BUDGETARY POLICY STATEMENTS – UPDATED MARCH 25, 2021 1.STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The broader intent of the following Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements is to enable the City to achieve a long- term stable and positive financial condition. The watchwords of the City’s financial management include integrity, prudent stewardship, planning, accountability, and full disclosure. The more specific purpose is to provide guidelines regarding the City’s day-to-day financial affairs and in developing recommendations to the City Manager and City Council. The scope of these policies generally spans, among other issues, accounting, purchasing, auditing, financial reporting, internal controls, operating and capital budgeting, revenue management, cash and investment management, expenditure control, asset management, debt management, and planning concepts, in order to: A.Present fairly and with full disclosure the financial position and results of the financial operations of the City in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and B.Determine and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal and contractual issues in accordance with provisions of the Texas Local Government Code and other pertinent legal documents and mandates. The City Council will annually review and approve the Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements as part of the budget process. More detailed policy guidelines in the following policy manuals maintained by the Finance Department: 1.ACCOUNTING OPERATIONS POLICY 2.PURCHASING POLICY 3.EMERGENCY OPERATIONS POLICY – FISCAL SERVICES 4.FIXED ASSET POLICY 5.MISCELLANEOUS FISCAL SERVICES POLICY 6.UTILITY CUSTOMER SERVICE POLICY 7.INVESTMENT POLICY & STRATEGY 8.CONTINUING DISCLOSURE 2.OPERATING BUDGET 2.1.PREPARATION. Budgeting is an essential element of the financial planning, control, and evaluation process of municipal government. The “operating budget” is the City’s annual financial operating plan. The budget includes all of the operating departments of the City, the debt service fund, all capital projects funds, and the internal service funds of the City. The budgets for the General Funds and Special Revenue Funds are prepared in the Finance Department on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is incurred with the exception of unmatured interest on long term debt which is recognized when due and certain compensated absences and claims and judgments such as accrued vacation leave which are Page 133 of 288 recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable resources. The budgets for the Enterprise and Internal Service Funds are similarly prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting where cash transactions are included in the budget presentation in lieu of non-cash transactions such as depreciation. The focus is on the net change in working capital (current assets less current liabilities). The budget is prepared with the cooperation of all City Departments, and is submitted to the City Manager who makes any necessary changes before presentation to City Council. The budget shall be presented to the City Council no later than six weeks prior to fiscal year end, and shall be enacted by the City Council on or before the twenty-seventh day of the last month of the preceding fiscal year. The budget process will be coordinated so as to identify major policy issues for City Council. The budget process will be a part of an overall strategic planning process for the City. 2.1.BALANCED BUDGET. The operating budget will be balanced with current revenues, exclusive of beginning resources, greater than or equal to current expenditures/expenses. Excess balances shall be used as capital funds or other non-recurring expenditures. 2.2.DEVELOPMENT OF AN APPROVED BUDGET. . a.The budget shall include four basic segments for review and evaluation: (1) personnel costs, (2) base budget for operations and maintenance costs, (3) service level adjustments for increases or decreases to existing service levels, and (4) revenues. b.The budget review process shall include Council participation in the development of each of the four segments of the approved budget and two public hearings to allow for citizen participation in the budget preparation. c.The budget process shall span sufficient time to address policy and fiscal issues by the Council. d.A copy of the approved budget shall be filed with the City Secretary when it is submitted to the City Council in accordance with the provisions of the City Charter. 2.3.ADOPTION. Upon the presentation of a proposed budget document to the Council, the Council shall call and publicize two public hearings. The Council will subsequently adopt by ordinance such budget as it may have been amended as the City’s Annual Budget, effective for the fiscal year beginning October 1. 2.4.BUDGET AWARD. The operating budget will be submitted annually to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for evaluation and consideration for the Award for Distinguished Budget Presentation. 2.5.BUDGET REPORTING. Periodic financial reports will be prepared to monitor and control the budget.. Summary financial reports will be presented to the City Manager and City Council quarterly as soon as possible, preferably within thirty (30) working days after the end of each quarter. Such reports will be in a format appropriate to enable the City Council to Page 134 of 288 understand the big picture budget status. 2.6.CONTROL. Operating expense control is addressed in Section 4 of these Policies. 2.7.CONTINGENT APPROPRIATION. Pursuant to Section 58 of the Charter of the City of College Station, the City will establish an adequate contingent appropriation in each of the operating funds. The expenditure for this appropriation shall be made only in cases of emergency, and a detailed account shall be recorded and reported. The proceeds shall be disbursed only by transfer to departmental appropriation. The transfer of this budget appropriation shall be under the control of the City Manager and may be distributed by him in amounts not exceeding $100,000. Any transfer involving more than $100,000 must be expressly approved by the City Council. All transfers from the contingent appropriation will be evaluated using the following criteria: 1.Is the request of such an emergency nature that it must be made immediately? 2.Why was the item not budgeted in the normal budget process? 3.Why can’t the transfer be made within the division or department? 3.REVENUE MANAGEMENT. 3.1.OPTIMUM CHARACTERISTICS. 1.SIMPLICITY. The City, where possible and without sacrificing accuracy, will strive to keep the revenue system simple in order to reduce compliance costs for the taxpayer or service recipient. A corresponding decrease in the City’s cost of collection and a reduction in avoidance to pay will thus result. The City will avoid nuisance taxes or charges as revenue sources. 2.CERTAINTY. The City will understand its revenue sources and enact consistent collection policies to provide assurances that the revenue base will materialize according to budgets and plans. 3.EQUITY. The City shall make every effort to maintain equity in its revenue system; i.e., the City shall seek to minimize or eliminate all forms of subsidization between entities, funds, services, utilities, and customer classes. 4.REVENUE ADEQUACY. The City shall require that there be a balance in the revenue system; i.e., the revenue base will have the characteristic of fairness and neutrality as it applies to cost of service, willingness to pay, and ability to pay. 5.ADMINISTRATION. The benefits of a revenue source will exceed the cost of levying and collecting that revenue. The cost of collection will be reviewed for cost effectiveness as a part of the indirect cost and cost of service analysis. Where appropriate, the City will use the administrative processes of State or Federal collection agencies in order to reduce administrative costs. 6.DIVERSIFICATION AND STABILITY. A diversified revenue system with a stable source of income Page 135 of 288 shall be maintained. This approach will help avoid instabilities in particular revenue sources due to factors such as fluctuations in the economy and variations in the weather. Stability is achieved by a balance between elastic and inelastic revenue sources. 3.2.OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. 1.COST/BENEFIT OF INCENTIVES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. The City will use due caution in the analysis of any tax or fee incentives that are used to encourage development. Ideally, a cost/benefit (fiscal impact) analysis will be performed as part of such evaluation. 2.NON-RECURRING REVENUES. One-time or non-recurring revenues will not be used to finance ongoing operations. Non-recurring revenues should be used only for one-time expenditures such as long-lived capital needs. They will not be used for budget balancing purposes. 3.PROPERTY TAX REVENUES. All real and business personal property located within the City shall be valued at 100% of the fair market value for any given year based on the current appraisal supplied to the City by the Brazos County Appraisal District. 4.A ninety-six and one half percent (96.5%) collection rate shall serve each year as a minimum goal for tax collections. The City Manager may, for budget and forecasting purposes, use up to the tax rate in effect for the current year’s budget. The City Manager may justify a tax rate that is different from the current tax rate. The justification will be based on City Council directions, needs arising from debt service, or other conditions as may arise from time to time. 3.3.INVESTMENT INCOME. Earnings from investment (both interest and capital gains) of available monies, whether pooled or not, will be distributed to the funds in accordance with the equity balance of the fund from which monies were provided to be invested. 3.4.USER-BASED FEES AND SERVICE CHARGES. For services associated with a user fee or charge, the direct and indirect costs of that service will be offset by a fee where possible. There will be a review of fees and charges no less than once every three years to ensure that fees provide adequate coverage of costs of services. User charges may be classified as “full cost recovery,” “partial cost recovery I,” “partial cost recovery II” and “minimal cost recovery,” based upon City Council policy. 1.Full fee support (80-100%) will be obtained from enterprise operations such as utilities, solid waste service, landfill, cemetery and licenses and permits. 2.Partial fee support I (50-80%) will be generated by charges for emergency medical services, miscellaneous licenses and fines, and all adults’ sports programs. 3.Partial fee support II (20%-50%) will be generated by charges for youth programs and activities. 4.Minimum fee support (0-20%) will be obtained from other parks, recreational and cultural programs and activities. 3.5.ENTERPRISE FUND RATES. The City will review and adopt utility rates as needed to generate revenues required to fully cover operating expenses, meet the legal restrictions of all applicable bond covenants, and provide for an adequate level of working capital. Page 136 of 288 3.6.GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE (G&A) CHARGES. G&A costs will be charged to all funds for services of general overhead, such as administration, finance, customer billing, personnel, technology, engineering, legal counsel, and other costs as appropriate. The charges will be determined through an indirect cost allocation study following accepted practices and procedures. 3.7.Unmetered City of College Station Street Light Costs. The electric power cost related to the unmetered City of College Station street lights will be incurred in the Electric Fund as part of the overall purchased power cost. The General Fund will reimburse the Electric Fund for the estimated cost of this service. The reimbursement amount will be estimated on an annual basis and will be based on the number of applicable street lights, estimated power consumption and estimated maintenance costs. 3.8.Utility Transfer to General Fund. The intent of this transfer is to provide a benefit to the citizens for their ownership of the various utility operations. An in-lieu-of-franchise fee is included as part of the rate computation of the transfer and is consistent with the franchise rates charged to investor owned utilities franchised to operate within the City. 1.Electric Fund In-Lieu-of-Franchise Fee - The in-lieu-of-franchise fee will be calculated based on kWh usage at a rate of that would equate to an approximate 9% franchise fee. The final total transfer amount will not exceed 9% of total estimated operating revenues. 2.Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Funds – This transfer will be made in accordance with the following two methods, not to exceed 10% of the total estimated operating revenues for these Funds: 1.In-Lieu-of-Franchise Fee. In-lieu-of-franchise fee will be included as part of the rate computation at 10% of gross sales consistent with the franchise rates charged to investor owned utilities franchised to operate within the City. 2.Utility Transfer to the General Fund. This transfer will be calculated at 10% of total Fund Equity. 3.9.INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES. The City will not be reliant on intergovernmental revenues (grants). Any potential grants will be examined for matching and continuation of program requirements. These revenue sources should be used only for projects and programs where operating and maintenance costs that have been included in the financial forecast and their ultimate effect on operations and revenue requirements are anticipated. 3.10.REVENUE MONITORING. Revenues as they are received will be regularly compared to budgeted revenues and variances will be investigated. 4.EXPENDITURE CONTROL 4.1.APPROPRIATIONS. The point of budgetary control is at the department level in the General Fund and at the fund level in all other funds. When budget adjustments among Departments and/or funds are necessary, they must be approved by the City Council and must meet other requirements as outlined in the City Charter, with the following exceptions: 1.Inter-fund transfers involving an internal replacement fund; in the case of funds being moved to or from any of the replacement funds (IT, Equipment, or Fleet), 2.Corrections or de-minimis amounts as outlined in the Transfer Policy maintained in the MISCELLANEOUS FISCAL SERVICES POLICY Page 137 of 288 3.Budget appropriation amendments at lower levels of control shall be made in accordance with the applicable administrative procedures. 4.As the Water and Wastewater Funds are operationally one fund, transfers between these two funds are considered administrative in nature as long as they are net budget neutral. 4.2.AMENDMENTS TO THE BUDGET. In accordance with the City Charter, the budget may be amended after the following conditions are met: 1.The City Manager certifies that there are available revenues in excess of those estimated in the Budget. 2.The City Council holds a public hearing on the supplemental appropriation. 3.The City Council approves the supplemental appropriation. 4.3.CENTRAL CONTROL. Modifications within the operating categories (salaries, supplies, maintenance, services, capital etc.) are detailed in the Transfer Policy maintained in the MISCELLANEOUS FISCAL SERVICES POLICY 4.4.PURCHASING. The City shall make expenditures to promote the best interests of the citizens of College Station. The City shall encourage free and unrestricted competition on bids and purchases, ensuring the taxpayers the best possible return on and use of their tax dollars. It shall be the policy of the City to fully comply with and make purchases or expenditures pursuant to the City’s Purchasing Manual which includes policies, rules, regulations, procedures, state and federal law. The Purchasing division of Finance Department, is the central authority for all purchasing activity $3,000 and greater. The City Manager or his designee, in consultation with appropriate City Departments, may determine the procurement method for goods and services that provides the best value to the City. The purchase of goods or services by the City at a total cost of less than $3,000 may be approved by the applicable department in accordance with the central procurement card policy or the department’s internal control procedures. 4.5.PROMPT PAYMENT. All invoices approved for payment by the proper City authorities shall be paid within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of goods or services or invoice date, whichever is later, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 2251 of the Local Government Code. The PURCHASING POLICY maintained by the Finance Department shall establish and maintain proper procedures which will enable the City to take advantage of all purchase discounts, when possible, except in the instance where payments can be reasonably and legally delayed in order to maximize the City’s investable cash. 5.RISK MANAGEMENT. The City will aggressively pursue every opportunity to provide for the public’s and City employees’ safety and to manage its risks. The goal shall be to minimize the risk of loss of resources through liability claims with an emphasis on safety programs. All reasonable options will be investigated to finance risks. Such options may include risk transfer, insurance, and risk retention. Where risk is retained, reserves will be established based upon actuarial determinations and not be used for purposes other than for financing losses. 6.REPORTING. Summary reports will be prepared showing actual expenditures as compared to the original and revised budgets and prior year expenditures. Page 138 of 288 7.CAPITAL BUDGET AND PROGRAM 7.1.PREPARATION. The City’s capital budget will include all capital projects funds and all capital resources. The budget will be prepared annually on a project basis. The capital budget will be prepared by the Finance Department with the involvement of responsible departments. 7.2.CONTROL. All capital project expenditures must be appropriated in the capital budget. The Chief Financial Officer must certify the availability of resources before any capital project contract is presented to the City Council for approval. 7.3.PROGRAM PLANNING. The capital budget will be taken from the capital improvements project plan for future years. The planning time frame for the capital improvements project plan should normally be five years, with a minimum of at least three years. Future replacement and maintenance for capital items should also be projected for the next five years after the project is placed into service 7.4.FINANCING PROGRAMS. Where applicable, assessments, impact fees, pro-rata charges, or other fees should be used to fund capital projects which have a primary benefit to specific, identifiable property owners. Alternative financing sources will be explored before debt is issued. When debt is issued, it will be used to acquire major assets with expected lives which equal or exceed the average life of the debt issue. 7.5.REPORTING. Periodic financial reports will be prepared to enable the Department Directors to manage their capital budgets and to enable the Finance Department to monitor and control the capital budget as authorized by the City Manager. 8.CAPITAL MAINTENANCE & REPLACEMENT To address that deferred maintenance and not anticipating replacement costs increases future capital requirements, the City policy is the following. 8.1.STREETS CAPITAL MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT. It is the policy of the City to annually provide significant funding for the Streets Division within the Public Works Department to use for a residential street maintenance program. 8.2.BUILDING CAPITAL MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT It is the policy of the City to annually provide significant funding for major maintenance on its buildings such as roof air conditioning, flooring and other replacements.

The City has a major investment in its Information Technology, fleet of vehicles, and other equipment. The City will anticipate replacing existing equipment, as necessary and will establish charges that are assigned to departments to account for the cost of that replacement. The replacement funds may be used to provide funding for new equipment providing a charge to departments that recovers the initial investment and lost opportunity costs and maintains the ability of the fund to provide for replacement of all covered equipment. 9.1.INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY REPLACEMENT (IT).

The City may issue interfund loans rather than outside debt instruments to meet short-term cash flow needs. Interfund loans will be permitted if an analysis of the affected fund indicates funds in excess of the fund balance requirement are available and the use of the funds will not impact that fund’s current operations. All interfund loans will bear interest based upon prevailing rates and have terms consistent with other similar obligations. 15.6.METHOD OF ISSUANCE. The City will use a competitive bidding process in the sale of bonds unless the nature of the issue warrants a negotiated bid. In situations where a competitive bidding process is not elected, the City will publicly present the reasons why, and the City will participate with the financial advisor in the selection of the underwriter or direct purchaser. 15.7.BIDDING PARAMETERS.

Page 145 of 288 17.3.HOTEL TAX FUND The Hotel Tax Fund balance should be at least 18% of the annual budgeted expenditures. Adequate reserves are essential due to the nature of this revenue source and the reliance organizations have on this revenue source to maintain ongoing operations. 17.4.INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS The Internal Service Funds will attain and retain fund balance/working capital balances appropriate for the fund. 17.5.FLEET MAINTENANCE AND UTILITY CUSTOMER SERVICE Some funds such as Fleet Maintenance and Utility Customer Service need only a minimal working capital balance in order to meet the needs of the fund, therefore no stated minimum fund balance is required. 17.6.INSURANCE FUNDS Insurance funds where risk is retained by the City in a self-insurance mode, a reserve will be established based upon an actuarial determination. Such reserve will be used for no other purposes than for financing losses under the insurance program. 17.7.REPLACEMENT FUNDS The Replacement Funds will have a working capital balance that will provide resources to replace covered equipment when it is necessary to be replaced. The funds will be replenished based on anticipated life of equipment and adjusted based on changes in the costs the covered equipment. 17.8.LIABILITIES AND RECEIVABLES.

Remaining balances are maintained to meet contingencies and to make certain that the next year’s debt service payments may be met in a timely manner. The fund balance should not fall below 8.33% (one month) of average budgeted expenditures (in line with IRS guidelines). 19. INTERNAL CONTROLS 19.1.WRITTEN PROCEDURES. Page 146 of 288 Wherever possible, written procedures will be established and maintained by the Finance Department for all functions involving purchasing, cash handling and/or accounting throughout the City. These procedures will embrace the general concepts of fiscal responsibility set forth in this policy statement. Page 147 of 288 19.2.DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES.

Reviewed & Approved by Legal: No Attachments: 1.FY21 BA#2 2.FY21 Budget Amendment _2 Ordinance Page 149 of 288 Exhibit A – FY21 Budget Amendment #2 Detail Listing 1.PD Hostage Negotiation Vehicle - $200,000 (Budget Amendment & Interfund Transfer) The Police Department currently has a Hostage Negotiation Trailer which must be joined to a vehicle for hostage negotiation situations. The trailer was scheduled for replacement in FY20 and encumbered into FY21. Rather than purchasing a new trailer the Police Department plans to purchase one self-contained Hostage Negotiation Vehicle (HNV). The cost of the combined HNV is $278,000. There is already $78,000 budgeted in the Fleet Replacement Fund for the trailer. This amendment is to authorize the additional $200,000 expense from the Fleet Replacement Fund. The funding will be made available by permanently removing a Command Vehicle and a Jail Transportation Van from the Fleet Replacement Fund. Sixty thousand dollars have been contributed to the Fleet Replacement Fund for the Command vehicle and $140,000 have been contributed for the Jail Transportation Van. 2.Boyett Street Closure -- $110,000 (Budget Amendment) Due to public safety concerns, Boyett Street will need to be closed every Friday and Saturday. This amendment will cover the cost of street closure with a steel barrier until the end of August with a contractor provided Area Wide Protective (AWP) equipment rental and labor costs. This cost will be recorded in the General Fund in the Community Services department will be covered by additional sales taxes received in the General Fund. The long- term solution will be the Boyett Street bollards and construction is scheduled to start Summer 2021 and will be operational in August 2021. Construction will be funded via existing budget savings in the Streets Capital Improvement Projects Fund. 3.Wastewater Truck Replacement Cost - $42,000 (Budget Amendment) This budget amendment item will allow the department to replace a vehicle lost in a fire. The department was previously scheduled to replace a similar vehicle. This replacement included a trade in credit of $42,000. However, due to the unexpected fire and vehicle loss, the department can no longer trade in the remaining vehicle. Therefore, this budget amendment will allow the department to purchase the replacement vehicle without the trade in credit. This item will be offset by additional Wastewater operating revenue. Any insurance proceeds received will go towards the vehicle replacement in FY21. 4.Community Development Block Grant-CV Funds -- $822,034 (Budget Amendment) College Station was allocated an additional $822,034 in CDBG-CV funds from HUD for economic assistance due to COVID-19. This was passed in Resolution No. 12-10-20-3.11. This amendment allows for the expenditure of those funds. 5.Parkland Dedication CIP - $71,040 (Budget Amendment) Parkland Dedication funds are appropriated as received and projects are identified. Since the creation of the FY21 Budget, an additional $71,040 has been received and projects are identified. This item will appropriate budget in Community Zone A. Page 150 of 288 Exhibit A – FY21 Budget Amendment #2 Detail Listing 6.Prior Year Copier Replacements - $19,175 (Budget Amendment) Three (3) copiers funded through the IT Replacement Fund were eligible for replacement in FY19 and FY20 and departments had sufficiently contributed into the fund to cover the cost of these copiers. However, the operating departments chose to postpone these purchases. This amendment is to authorize the release of funding to purchase these copiers in FY21. 7.Water/Wastewater Contingency CIP Transfer - $225,000 (Interfund Transfer) This item is a Contingency CIP Transfer request. As part of the Council-directed and approved James Parkway and Puryear Drive Rehabilitation project, Water Services recognized the need to rehabilitate a small portion of existing Water/Wastewater lines. However, these utility projects are currently unfunded. If approved, staff will coordinate the utility rehabilitation with the existing Streets project. The net effect of this Transfer request is zero. FY21 budget was previously approved on Water/Wastewater Contingency projects. This transfer will reduce the Contingency budget and increase it by the same amount on the new utility rehabilitation projects.

Ordinance amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Article 4, “Zoning Districts,” 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 R Rural to E Estate and NAP Natural Areas Protected on approximately 57 acres of land located at 9500 Rock Prairie Road. Sponsor:Rachel Lazo Reviewed By CBC:City Council Agenda Caption:Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Article 4, “Zoning Districts,” 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 R Rural to E Estate and NAP Natural Areas Protected on approximately 57 acres of land located at 9500 Rock Prairie Road. Relationship to Strategic Goals: Diverse Growing Economy Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item at their March 4, 2021 regular meeting where they unanimously voted to recommend approval with the following condition: The development of Williams Creek Reserve located on 57 acres on Rock Prairie Road will be limited by the existing McCullough-McCollough Unit 1 oil and gas well located on the property. No residential lots will be located within 300’ of the wellhead per International Fire Code requirements or within the Acceptable Separation Distance for Thermal Radiation for People (ASDPNPD) of 483 feet from the 73’’ x 20’ Heater Treater located at the wellsite. This distance was calculated using the Acceptable Separation Distance Assessment Tool provided by the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development. Staff also recommends approval of the rezoning. Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 57 acres of land located east of the intersection at Rock Prairie Road and William D. Fitch. The subject property currently has an operating oil and gas well on site and is a planned expansion of the existing Williams Creek Reserve Subdivision. The condition proposed will ensure any future residential development will provide adequate spacing from the wellsite. REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated as Estate and Natural Areas Reserved on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The Estate designation is generally for areas that, due to Page 193 of 288 public service limitations or prevailing rural character, should have limited development activities. These areas will tend to consist of low-density single-family residential lots of at least one acre in size or lots that average 20,000 square feet clustered around open space. Natural Areas Reserved is intended for areas that should be preserved for their natural function, such as floodplain and riparian buffers. This request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the surrounding area: The proposed Estate zoning allows for large-lot single family residential uses. Given the property’s adjacency to the existing Williams Creek Reserve Subdivision and rural residential lots to the east, the proposed use would be easily incorporated with the existing developments. The proposed Natural Areas Protected zoning is anticipated to protect the FEMA floodplain from excessive development and maintain its natural state. While this area is currently zoned R Rural, the proposed zoning districts comply with the anticipated future land uses along this corridor as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The property has over 1,300 feet of frontage and takes access to Rock Prairie Road, which is a future 4-lane Major Arterial. The proposed Estate zoning is suitable for the future subdivision of land for acreage homesites and would have adequate access and utility availability. The northern portion of the subject property contains FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain and is proposed to be protected from development by being zoned NAP Natural Areas Protected. Additionally, the condition proposed with the rezoning request will provide a minimum separation from the existing oil wellsite that is required to safely develop additional residential lots. The subject property is physically suitable for the proposed zoning districts. 4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district: Fire flow and domestic water service will generally be served by Wellborn SUD; however, there is a small portion of the property along Rock Prairie Road within the City of College Station’s Water CCN that will require the extension of City service lines. Currently, there are no sanitary sewer lines in the area available to serve the property. Individual lots may use On-Site Sewage Facilities (OSSFs) permitted by the Brazos County Health Department. With site development, the property will need to be designed to accommodate future public sanitary sewer service. The subject property generally drains to the northeast within the Carter’s Creek drainage basin and contains FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Drainage improvements and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. The subject property has frontage along Rock Prairie Road, which is designated on the Thoroughfare Plan as a proposed 4-lane Major Arterial. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not required as part of the rezoning request. 5. The marketability of the property: The applicant states that the marketability of the tract is limited with the existing R Rural zoning as a Page 194 of 288 low number of lots could be created that do not support the cost of the required infrastructure. Should the rezoning request be approved, it is anticipated to increase the marketability of the property.

Relationship to Strategic Goals: Diverse Growing Economy Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item at their March 4, 2021 regular meeting where they unanimously voted to recommend approval. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. Summary: The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from R Rural and CI Commercial Industrial to BP Business Park. The property is on the periphery of the BioCorridor. This request is the first step towards developing the subject tract and the adjacent parcel to the north as part of a planned campus development. REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject lot is designated Business Park on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map and is also located in the Presidential Corridor Gateway District. The Comprehensive Plan describes Business Park as areas that include office, research and development, or industrial uses planned and developed as a unified project. This area was identified in the Comprehensive Plan as one that should focus on accommodating businesses including research and development, office, and light industrial. These uses should build on the assets existing in the area while protecting and enhancing this primary gateway into the City. In addition, the City’s Economic Development Master Plan’s goal for this area is to provide adequate opportunities to respond to market opportunities as it relates to supporting and stimulating biotechnology research and advanced manufacturing. The proposed zoning district is consistent with the existing uses in the nearby area, such as Fujifilm and Viasat. 2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the surrounding area: Page 209 of 288 The property has over 1,000 feet of frontage and takes access to Raymond Stotzer Parkway, which is an existing Freeway/Expressway. The subject area is directly adjacent to the BioCorridor, which allows for various office, research and development, and industrial uses. The rezoning request is in anticipation of a planned campus development on the adjacent property to the north. The proposed zoning district will further the Comprehensive Plan’s goal for unified development and provide additional opportunities to support primary job creation. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The site meets the minimum dimensional standards for the Business Park zoning district and is planned to be part of a larger campus development. The size and location of the subject property is suitable for business park uses. 4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district: There is an existing Wellborn water line along Raymond Stotzer Frontage Road. There is a City of College Station Water Master Plan line along the north of the subject property that will be extended with platting. The sanitary service for this property will be provided by the City of Bryan and is located along the north property line. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructure appears to be adequate for the proposed use at this time. 5. The marketability of the property: The tract is currently marketable with its current zoning, but the present uses, rural residential and group housing, are not appropriate for its location. Rezoning the property will increase its marketability.

Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated as Business Park on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The Business Park land use designation is intended for areas that include office, research, or industrial uses planned as a unified project. The property is currently zoned M-2 Heavy Industrial, which is a retired zoning district that allows manufacturing and industrial activities that generate great amounts of nuisances generally not compatible with residential uses or lower intensity commercial uses. The proposed zoning is designed for uses that primarily serve other commercial and industrial enterprises. CI Commercial Industrial permits uses similar to those allowed in the M-2 zoning district, with the addition of some commercial uses, allowing the property to be developed consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Page 223 of 288 2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the surrounding area: The proposed zoning allows for industrial and commercial uses, which is compatible with the development on adjacent properties. Given the property’s close proximity to multiple existing industrial uses and a commercial office, the planned business park and any additional commercial uses would be easily incorporated with the existing developments. While this area was zoned M-2 Heavy Industrial about 30 years ago, it has developed with uses less intense than allowed by zoning. The CI Commercial Industrial zoning will increase the amount of commercial uses permitted on the property, which would be comparable with existing adjacent uses and allow it to be more compatible with the residential uses in the area. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The property has over 270 feet of frontage and takes access to Graham Road, which is an existing Major Collector. The major collector can support the land uses that the proposed zoning would allow. The subject property is not in the FEMA floodplain. The subject property is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district. 4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district: Water, sanitary sewer, and fire flow will be served by College Station Utilities. There are existing water and sanitary sewer lines adjacent to the property. There is sufficient capacity for the proposed uses. The subject property is in the Lick Creek drainage basin and drains towards the north. The property is not encumbered by FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Detention will be required with site development. 5. The marketability of the property: The property can be marketed under the current zoning which allows for intense industrial uses. However, the applicant is proposing to incorporate additional commercial uses. This is anticipated to increase the marketability of the property.

Survey Scope: JO will perform the following survey-related scope items: Right-of-Entry Coordinate with Client and contracted arborist to notify and seek landowner and resident permission in private properties where on-the-ground access is needed, prior to beginning any work on fenced private property. Survey Control Install accurate horizontal and vertical survey control, referenced to City GPS control monuments and datums (NAD83 / NAVD88). 8-1-1 / City Coordination Request 8-1-1 utility locations and coordinate with the City to have necessary utility marks, probes and/or potholes. Locate the utility marks as well as all additional above-ground features discovered (valves, poles, manholes, etc.). Topographic Survey Perform a comprehensive Topographic Survey of the Project Site including a minimum of 10 feet beyond the right-of-way lines opposite Thomas Park, plus adjoining, existing public easements, where private owner permission is not declined. Also, requested utility features outside of the Project Site will be located where necessary and requested. All pertinent surface features, sufficient elevation points, fences, walls, visible and marked utility features and lines, and trees identified by arborist. Tree canopy edge points on ID’d trees will also be located. Depths in sanitary and storm sewer manholes and accessible drain pipes and structures will be obtained. Records Research Gather existing easement documents, plats, deeds, utility plans, GIS files and various maps in the Project Site. Plot these in CAD and best-fit them together and to the surveyed points. Comprehensive title research is not included in this scope, nor are right-of-way parcel or easement surveys. Any record data provided from the Client and City will be ‘best-fitted’. Page 245 of 288 Page 2 Existing Right-of-Way and Easements Find and locate property corners, R.O.W. points and physical features needed to fit existing plats, deeds, known easements into the topographic survey drawing. This step should obtain a close approximate fit of the property lines but will not be considered a Boundary Survey of the adjoining properties. If more accurate line determination is needed, it may require survey services outside of the scope of this proposal. This can be discussed when better property line determination in specific locations of the Project Site are identified. Topo CAD Files with surface model Create 3d CAD file(s) w/ digital surface model (TIN) of the comprehensive surveying work with most recent aerial imagery fitted as background. Deliverables: JO will create and maintain the CAD files in AutoCAD Civil 3d software, but .dgn and .xml output files will also be generated as deliverables. A digital surface model with ‘spot’ elevation points, breaklines and contours will be included. Survey control points will be identified with coordinates and elevations referenced to City GPS control monuments and current datums (NAD83/NAVD88). Compensation: The lump sum total fee for the above scope of work will be $ 60,000. Sales tax is not collected on topographic surveying. As the job progresses, monthly invoices for the percentage of work completed will be invoiced to the Client. Client Provided Services: The Client shall provide Joe Orr the following, if necessary for completion of survey: - A signed copy of this proposal or other contract including the agreed scope and fees. - Any documentation available, such as existing utility plans and maps, which will aid Joe Orr in completing the Scope of Services. Any questions, comments or concerns shall be directed to Henry Mayo, RPLS at (979) 693-2777, (979) 777-1426 (cell), or by email at hmayo@baselinesurveyors.net.

If Client so reque sts, Consultant will return to Client a statement (or supplemental proposal) of the change setting forth an adjustment to the Services and fees for the requested changes. Following Client’s review, Client shall provide written acceptance. If Client does not follow these proced ures, but instead directs, authorizes, or permits Consultant to perform changed or additional work, the Services are changed accordingly and Consultant will be paid for this work according to the fees stated or its current fee schedule. If project conditions change materially from those observed at the site or described to Consultant at the time of proposal, Consultant is entitled to a change order equitably adjusting its Services and fee. 4. Compensation and Terms of Payment. Client shall pay compensation for the Services performed at the fees stated in the Proposal, including but not limited to the Compensation section, unless fees are otherwise stated in Exhibit C to this Agreement (which section or Exhibit is incorporated into this Agreement). If not stated in either, fees will be according to Consult ant’s current fee schedule. Fee schedules are valid for the calendar year in which they are issued. Fees do not include sales tax. Client will pay applicable sales tax as required by law. Consultant may invoice Client at least monthly and payment is due upon receipt of invoice. Client shall notify Consultant in writing, at the address below, within 15 days of the date of the invoice if Client objects to any portion of the charges on the invoice, and shall promptly pay the undisputed portion. Client shall pay a finance fee of 1.5% per month, but not exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law, for all unpaid amounts 30 days or older. Client agrees to pay all collection-related costs that Consultant incurs, including attorney fees. Consultant may suspend Servic es for lack of timely payment. It is the responsibility of Client to determine whether federal, state, or local prevailing wage requirements apply and to notify Consultant if prevailing wages ap ply. If it is later determined that prevailing wages apply, and Consultant was not previously notified by Client, Client agrees to pay the prevailing wage from that point forward, as well as a retroactive payment adjustment to bring previously paid amounts in line with prevailing wages. Client also agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Consultant from any alleged violations made by any governmental agency regulating prevailing wage activity for failing to pay prevailing wages, including the payment of any fines or penalties. 5. Third Party Reliance. This Agreement and the Services provided are for Consultant and Client’s sole benefit and exclusive use with no third party beneficiaries intended. Reliance upon the Services and any work product is limited to Client, and is not intended for third p arties other than those who have executed Consultant’s reliance agreement, subject to the prior approval of Consultant and Client. 6.

Dispute Resolution. Client shall not be entitled to assert a Claim against Consultant based on any theory of professional negl igence unless and until Client has obtained the written opinion from a registered, independent, and reputable engineer, architect, or geologist that Consultant has violated the standard of care applicable to Consultant’s performance of the Services. Client shall provide this opinion to Consultant and the parties shall endeavor to resolve the dispute within 30 days, after which Client may pursue its remedies at law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to Kansas law. 12. Subsurface Explorations. Subsurface conditions throughout the site may vary from those depicted on logs of discrete borings, test pits, or other exploratory services. Client understands Consultant’s layout of boring and test locations is approximate and that Consultant may deviate a reasonable distance from those locations. Consultant will take reasonable precautions to reduce damage to the site when performing Servi ces; however, Client accepts that invasive services such as drilling or sampling may damage or alter the site. Site restoration is not provided unless specifically included in the Services. 13. Testing and Observations. Client understands that testing and observation are discrete sampling procedures, and that such procedures indicate conditions only at the depths, locations, and times the procedures were performed. Consultant will provide test results and opinions based on tests and field observations only for the work tested. Client understands that testing and observation are not continuous or exhaustive , and are conducted to reduce - not eliminate - project risk. Client shall cause all tests and inspections of the site, materials, and Services performed by Consultant to be timely and properly scheduled in order for the Services to be performed in accordance with the plans, specifications, contract documents, and Consultant’s recommendations. No claims for loss or damage or injury shall be brought against Consultant by Client or any third party unless all tests and inspections have been so performed and Consultant’s recommendations have been followed. Unless otherwise stated in the Proposal, Client assumes sole responsibility for determining whether the quantity and the nature of Services ordered by Client is adequate and suffici ent for Client’s intended purpose. Client is responsible (even if delegated to contractor) for requesting services, and notifying and scheduling Consultant so Consu ltant can perform these Services. Consultant is not res ponsible for damages caused by Services not performed due to a failure to request or schedule Consultant’s Services. Consultant shall not be responsible for the quality and completeness of Client’s contractor’s work or their adheren ce to the project documents, and Consultant’s performance of testing and observation s ervices shall not relieve Client’s contractor in any way from its responsibility for defects discovered in its work, or create a warranty or guarantee. Consultant will not supervise or direct the work performed by Client’s contractor or its subcontractors and is not responsible for their means and methods. The extension of unit prices with quantities to establish a total estimated cost does not guarantee a maximum cost to complete the Services. The quantities, when given, are estimates based on contract documents and schedules made available at the time of the Proposal. Since schedule, performance, production, and charges are directed a nd/or controlled by others, any quantity extensions must be considered as estimated and not a guarantee of maximum cost. 14. Sample Disposition, Affected Materials, and Indemnity. Samples are consumed in testing or disposed of upon completion of the testing procedures (unless stated otherwise in the Services). Client shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Consultant all docum ents and information known or available to Client that relate to the identity, location, quantity, nature, or characteristic of any hazardous waste, tox ic, radioactive, or contaminated materials (“Affected Materials”) at or near the site, and shall immediately transmit new, updated, or revised information as it becomes available. Client agrees that Consultant is not responsible for the disposition of Affected Materials unless specifically provided in the Services, and that Client is responsible for directing such disposition. In no event shall Consultant be required to sign a hazardous waste manifest or take title to any Affected Materials. Client shall have the obligation to make all spill or release notifications to appropriate governmental agencies. The Client agrees that Consultant neither created nor contributed to the creation or existence of any Affected Materials conditions at the site and Consultant shall not be responsible for any claims, losses, or damages allegedly arising out of Consultant’s performance of Services hereunder, or for any claims against Consultant as a generator, disposer, or arranger of Affected Materials under federal, state, or local law or ordinance. 15. Ownership of Documents. Work product, such as reports, logs, data, notes, or calculations, prepared by Consultant shall remain Consultant’s property. Proprietary concepts, systems, and ideas developed during performance of the Services shall remain the sole propert y of Consultant. Files shall be maintained in general accordance with Consultant’s document retention policies and practices. 16. Utilities. Unless otherwise stated in the Proposal, Client shall provide the location and/or arrange for the marking of private utilities and subterranean structures. Consultant shall take reasonable precautions to avoid damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Consultant shall not be responsible for damage to subterranean structures or utilities that are not called to Consultant’s attention, are not correct ly marked, including by a utility locate service, or are incorrectly shown on the plans furnished to Consultant. 17. Site Access and Safety. Client shall secure all necessary site related approvals, permits, licenses, and consents necessary to commence and complete the Services and will execute any necessary site access agreement. Consultant will be responsible for supervision and site safety measures for its own employees, but shall not be responsible for the supervision or health and safety precautions for any other partie s, including Client, Client’s contractors, subcontractors, or other parties present at the site. In addition, Consultant retains the right to stop work without penalty at any time Consultant believes it is in the best interests of Consultant’s employees or subcontractors to do so in order to reduce the r isk of exposure to the coronavirus. Client agrees it will respond quickly to all requests for information made by Consultant related to Consultant’s pre -task planning and risk assessment processes. Client acknowledges its responsibility for notifying Consultant of any circumstances that present a ris k of exposure to the coronavirus or individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 or are self-quarantining due to exhibiting symptoms associated with the coronavirus.

We have not recently visited the project site to confirm the information provided. Aspects of the project, undefined or assumed, are highlighted as shown below. We request the design team verify all information prior to our initiation of field exploration activities. Site Location and Anticipated Conditions Item Description Parcel Information The project is located along James Parkway and Puryear Drive between their intersections with Kyle Avenue and Francis Drive in College Station, Texas. 30.624588° N, 96.322855° W (approximate) (See Exhibit D) Existing Improvements1 Existing roadways and utilities along the existing alignments. Thomas Park is located between the two alignments. Current Ground Cover1 Asphaltic roadway surface with primarily open flow ditches, some portions of the alignment have curb and gutter along the roadway edges. Existing Topography1 Relatively level Site Access We expect the site, and all exploration locations, are accessible with our truck- mounted drilling equipment. Traffic control will be required for our field operations. Expected Subsurface Conditions Our experience near the vicinity of the proposed development or geologic maps indicates subsurface conditions consist of fat and lean clay with varying amounts of sand. 1 From Google Earth Imagery Planned Construction Item Description Information Provided Information was provided by Mr. Greg Lanting via email on February 11, 2021. Project Description The project consists of the proposed reconstruction of James Parkway and Puryear Drive between their intersections with Kyle Avenue and Francis Drive in College Station, Texas. The section of James Parkway that is planned to be reconstructed is about 1,600 feet in length. The section of Puryear Drive that is planned to be reconstructed is about 1,700 feet in length.

These services are described in the following sections. Field Exploration The field exploration program consists of the following: Number of Borings Planned Boring Depth (feet) 1 Planned Location 4 10 or auger refusal Along James Parkway alignment 5 10 or auger refusal Along Puryear Drive alignment 1. Below ground surface. Boring Layout and Elevations: We will use handheld GPS equipment to locate borings with an estimated horizontal accuracy of +/-20 feet. Field measurements from existing site features may be utilized. If available, approximate elevations will be obtained by interpolation from a site specific, surveyed topographic map. Subsurface Exploration Procedures: We will advance soil borings with a truck-mounted drill rig using continuous flight augers (solid stem and/or hollow stem, as necessary, depending on soil conditions). Five samples will be obtained in the upper 10 feet of each boring. Soil sampling is typically performed using thin-wall tube and/or split-barrel sampling procedures. The split-barrel samplers are driven in accordance with the standard penetration test (SPT). The samples will be placed in appropriate containers, taken to our soil laboratory for testing, and classified by a Geotechnical Engineer. In addition, we will observe and record groundwater levels during drilling and sampling. Our exploration team will prepare field boring logs as part of standard drilling operations including sampling depths, penetration distances, and other relevant sampling information. Field logs include visual classifications of materials encountered during drilling, and our interpretation of subsurface conditions between samples. Final boring logs, prepared from field logs, represent the Geotechnical Engineer's interpretation, and include modifications based on observations and laboratory tests. Property Disturbance: We will backfill borings with auger cuttings upon completion. Our services do not include repair of the site beyond backfilling our boreholes, and cold patching existing pavements. Excess auger cuttings will be dispersed in the general vicinity of the borehole. Because backfill material often settles below the surface after a period, we recommend boreholes to be periodically checked and backfilled, if necessary. We can provide this service, or grout the boreholes for additional fees, at your request. Page 253 of 288 Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services James Parkway and Puryear Drive Reconstruction ■ College Station, Texas February 19, 2021 ■ Terracon Proposal No. PA1215020 Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable EXHIBIT B – SCOPE OF SERVICES 2 of 4 Safety Terracon is not aware of environmental concerns at this project site that would create health or safety hazards associated with our exploration program; thus, our Scope considers standard OSHA Level D Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) appropriate. Our Scope of Services does not include environmental site assessment services, but identification of unusual or unnatural materials encountered while drilling will be noted on our logs and discussed in our report. Exploration efforts require borings (and possibly excavations) into the subsurface, therefore Terracon will comply with local regulations to request a utility location service through Texas 811. We will consult with the owner/client regarding potential utilities, or other unmarked underground hazards. Based upon the results of this consultation, we will consider the need for alternative subsurface exploration methods, as the safety of our field crew is a priority. Private utilities should be marked by the owner/client prior to commencement of field exploration. Terracon will not be responsible for damage to private utilities not disclosed to us. If the owner/client is unable to accurately locate private utilities, Terracon can assist the owner/client by coordinating or subcontracting with a private utility locating services. Fees associated with the additional services are not included in our current Scope of Services and will be forwarded to our client for approval prior to initiating. The detection of underground utilities is dependent upon the composition and construction of the utility line; some utilities are comprised of non-electrically conductive materials and may not be readily detected. The use of a private utility locate service would not relieve the owner of their responsibilities in identifying private underground utilities. Site Access and Safety: Terracon must be granted access to the site by the property owner. By acceptance of this proposal, without information to the contrary, we consider this as authorization to access the property for conducting field exploration in accordance with the Scope of Services. In addition, Consultant retains the right to stop work without penalty at any time Consultant believes it is in the best interests of Consultant’s employees or subcontractors to do so in order to reduce the risk of exposure to the coronavirus. Client agrees it will respond quickly to all requests for information made by Consultant related to Consultant’s pre-task planning and risk assessment processes. Client acknowledges its responsibility for notifying Consultant of any circumstances that present a risk of exposure to the coronavirus or individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 or are self-quarantining due to exhibiting symptoms associated with the coronavirus. Laboratory Testing The project engineer will review field data and assign laboratory tests to understand the engineering properties of various soil strata. Exact types and number of tests cannot be defined until completion of field work. The anticipated laboratory testing may include the following: ■ Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture) Content of Soil and Rock by Mass ■ Laboratory Determination of Density (Unit Weight) of Soil Specimens Page 254 of 288 Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services James Parkway and Puryear Drive Reconstruction ■ College Station, Texas February 19, 2021 ■ Terracon Proposal No. PA1215020 Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable EXHIBIT B – SCOPE OF SERVICES 3 of 4 ■ Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils ■ Determining the Amount of Materials Finer than No. 200 Sieve in Soils by Washing ■ Particle-Size Analysis of Soils ■ Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cohesive Soil ■ Soluble sulfates Our laboratory testing program often includes examination of soil samples by an engineer. Based on the material’s texture and plasticity, we will describe and classify soil samples in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Engineering and Project Delivery Results of our field and laboratory programs will be evaluated by a professional engineer. The engineer will develop a geotechnical site characterization, perform the engineering calculations necessary to evaluate foundation alternatives, and develop appropriate geotechnical engineering design criteria for earth-related phases of the project. Your project will be delivered using our GeoReport® system. Upon initiation, we provide you and your design team the necessary link and password to access the website (if not previously registered). Each project includes a calendar to track the schedule, an interactive site map, a listing of team members, access to the project documents as they are uploaded to the site, and a collaboration portal. The typical delivery process includes the following: ■ Project Planning – Proposal information, schedule and anticipated exploration plan will be posted for review and verification ■ Site Characterization – Findings of the site exploration ■ Geotechnical Engineering – Recommendations and geotechnical engineering report When utilized, our collaboration portal documents communication, eliminating the need for long email threads. This collaborative effort allows prompt evaluation and discussion of options related to the design and associated benefits and risks of each option. With the ability to inform all parties as the work progresses, decisions and consensus can be reached faster. In some cases, only minimal uploads and collaboration will be required, because options for design and construction are limited or unnecessary. This is typically the case for uncomplicated projects with no anomalies found at the site. When services are complete, we upload a printable version of our completed geotechnical engineering report, including the professional engineer’s seal and signature, which documents our services. Previous submittals, collaboration and the report are maintained in our system. This allows future reference and integration into subsequent aspects of our services as the project goes through final design and construction. The geotechnical engineering report will provide the following: Page 255 of 288 Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services James Parkway and Puryear Drive Reconstruction ■ College Station, Texas February 19, 2021 ■ Terracon Proposal No. PA1215020 Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable EXHIBIT B – SCOPE OF SERVICES 4 of 4 ■ Boring logs with field and laboratory data ■ Stratification based on visual soil classification ■ Groundwater levels observed during and after the completion of drilling ■ Site Location and Exploration Plans ■ Subsurface exploration procedures ■ Description of subsurface conditions ■ Recommended pavement options and design parameters Additional Services In addition to the services noted above, the following are often associated with geotechnical engineering services. Fees for services noted above do not include the following: Review of Plans and Specifications: Our geotechnical report and associated verbal and written communications will be used by others in the design team to develop plans and specifications for construction. Review of project plans and specifications is a vital part of our geotechnical engineering services. This consists of review of project plans and specifications related to site preparation, foundation, and pavement construction. Our review will include a written statement conveying our opinions relating to the plans and specifications’ consistency with our geotechnical engineering recommendations. Observation and Testing of Pertinent Construction Materials: Development of our geotechnical engineering recommendations and report relies on an interpretation of soil conditions. This is based on widely spaced exploration locations, and assuming construction methods will be performed in a manner sufficient to meet our expectations, and is consistent with recommendations made at the time the geotechnical engineering report is issued. We should be retained to conduct construction observations, and perform/document associated materials testing, for site preparation, foundation, and pavement construction. This allows a more comprehensive understanding of subsurface conditions and necessary documentation of construction, to confirm and/or modify (when necessary) the assumptions and recommendations made by our engineers. Perform Environmental Assessments: Our Scope for this project does not include, either specifically or by implication, an environmental assessment of the site intended to identify or quantify potential site contaminants. If the client/owner is concerned about the potential for such conditions, an environmental site assessment should be conducted. We can provide a proposal for an environmental assessment, if desired.

If the owner/client is unable to accurately locate private utilities, we can subcontract a private utility locating firm and/or utilize geophysical equipment, if necessary. The detection of underground utilities is dependent upon the composition and construction of utility lines. Some utilities are comprised of non-electrically conductive materials and may not be readily detected. The use of a private locate service does not relieve the owner of their responsibilities in identifying private underground utilities. Our Scope of Services does not include services associated with site clearing, wet ground conditions, tree or shrub clearing, or repair of/damage to existing landscape. If such services are desired by the owner/client, we should be notified so we can adjust our Scope of Services. Unless instructed otherwise, we will submit our invoice(s) to the address shown at the beginning of this proposal. If conditions are encountered that require Scope of Services revisions and/or result in higher fees, we will contact you for approval, prior to initiating services. A supplemental proposal stating the modified Scope of Services as well as its effect on our fee will be prepared. We will not proceed without your authorization. Project Schedule We developed a schedule to complete the Scope of Services based upon our existing availability and understanding of your project schedule.

Protection of existing trees in the area is essential. The project will include some small utility adjustments and relocations for area infrastructure. Drainage improvements along the streets and throughout the park are critical for this design. Phased park improvements will also be part of this design contract. These improvements include lighting, potential parking, drinking fountains, ADA accessible paths to existing elements. Future park phasing shall include historical markers, benches, shade structures for existing amenities, disc golf course, landscaping, etc. The public will be engaged in community conversations to determine the programming and master plan level design of future phases. SCOPE OF SERVICES The following narrative describes a comprehensive list of services required to prepare Master Planning, Community Engagement and Design Concepts for the property. Efficiently organizing the work will be essential to completing the project in a timely fashion.
