Items 6.2, and 6.9 were pulled from Consent for clarification.
(6.2): Mary Ellen Leonard, Finance Director, stated that the City’s Financial Advisor and Bond
Counsel recommend that the City issue Certificate of Obligations for utility projects instead of Utility
Revenue Bonds (URBs); the pledge of the City’s ad valorem tax base is a stronger credit than utility
revenues and thus lowers the cost of borrowing. This has been the practice of the City since 2008.
The Utility systems will cover their associated portion of debt service through utility revenues. The
Certificates will be used to fund street, parks, public facilities, technology, water and wastewater
projects, and pay debt issuance costs. The maximum amount of Certificates of Obligation
indebtedness that may be authorized to be sold is $62,443,000.
(6.9): Aubrey Nettles, Economic Development Manager, explained that for 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. The District agrees at its sole cost and expense to perform the
day-to-day operation and maintenance of the parks 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 parks and park facilities. The initial term of the Interlocal Agreement is
Page 7 of 81
RM040821 Minutes Page 3
for 50 years, and this agreement can be renewed for one more additional 50-year term. There should
be no negative impact to the City of College Station as 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.

MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Nichols and a second by Councilmember
Maloney, the City Council voted six (6) for and none (0) opposed, to adopt Ordinance No. 2021-
4256, vacating and abandoning a 1,295 square foot Easement lying between Lots 5 & 6, Block 9 of
The Knoll Subdivision, according to the replat recorded in Volume 140, Page 458 of the Deed
Records of Brazos County, Texas. The motion carried unanimously.
7.3 Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding Ordinance No.
2021-4257 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 boundary from R Rural to GS General Suburban
on approximately 5 acres of land located at 3006 Norton Lane.
Jesse Dimeolo, Planning and Development, stated that this request is to rezone approximately 5 acres
of mostly undeveloped land located between William D Fitch Parkway, Wellborn Road, and Barron
Road from R Rural to GS General Suburban. The tract was originally zoned R Rural upon annexation
to the City in 1995. This zoning request is in effort to provide additional single-family housing supply
to this area of the city.
Mr. Dimeolo explained that the subject property generally drains to the northwest and the southeast
corners. The tract is not encumbered by FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Downstream
detention will be provided to accommodate full build-out. Additional 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 access to Jeanne
Drive, which is constructed as a minor collector but not designated as one on the City’s Thoroughfare
Plan. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not required as part of the rezoning request due to the
applicant showing anticipated peak trip rate to be less than the 150 thresholds. The applicant has
stated that the current R Rural zoning is not the highest and best use for the property. The market
price of the land exceeds the allowed use of the property and therefore is not marketable without a
rezoning.
The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their March 18, 2021 regular meeting where
they voted unanimously to recommend approval. Staff also recommends approval of the rezoning.
At approximately 6:57 p.m., Mayor Pro Tem Brick opened the Public Hearing.
Janette Dale, College Station, stated that she is adjacent to the proposed rezoning property and she
understands the need for single family homes and development in the area. However, she has
concerns about this development becoming more of a rental community, the density of the
development, and future connectivity to the proposed thoroughfare. She also stated that she would
hope there would be some buffered area or fencing between the development and existing properties.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 7:00 p.m.

motion carried.
7.4 Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding Ordinance No. 2021-4258 consenting
to and extending the Mayor's renewal of a disaster declaration due to public health emergency.
Jeff Capps, Interim City Manager, stated that on April 6, 2021, the Mayor of College Station issued
a proclamation pursuant to §418.014 of the Texas Government Code renewing the state of disaster
proclaimed by the Mayor on March 17, 2020, April 21, 2020, May 22, 2020, June 22, 2020, July 22,

Item No. 4.2.
Change Order for Contract 21300077
Sponsor:Timothy Crabb, Director of Electric
Reviewed By CBC:N/A
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action on approving a change order for a
Joint Use Pole Attachment Audit with TechServ Consulting and Training, LTD in the amount of
$5,445.37.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Core Services & Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approving the change order to increase Contract
21300077 by $5,445.37.
Summary: After reviewing the final report and invoices from TechServ’s joint use pole attachment
audit, staff discovered that the pole inventory in the Electric GIS, and included in the original scope of
work, did not match the number of poles found during the audit. Staff researched and field checked
the non-inventoried poles and verified that the poles did belong to CSU and were not shown in GIS.
Staff has revised the pole count to include all CSU poles found during the audit. This discrepancy
necessitates a change order to include these poles in the audit and brings the total contract amount
to $104,932.90, which requires City Council approval.
Budget & Financial Summary: The amount of $5,445.37 is available in the Electric Operations and
Maintenance budget. The original amount for Contract 21300077 is $99,487.53; if approved, the new
contract total is $104,932.90. Approximately $70,305 of the contract amount will be reimbursed by
the communications companies that attach to CSU poles, which is required by their contracts.

Item No. 4.3.
Satus of non-annexation development agreements entered into in 2011.
Sponsor:Molly Hitchcock, Assistant Director of Planning and Development
Reviewed By CBC:City Council
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding the extension of non-
annexation development agreements entered into in 2011, for properties in the Wellborn area.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Good Governance
Financial Sustainability
Core Services & Infrastructure
Sustainable City
Recommendation(s): Extend the agreements for a period not to exceed 10 years.
Summary: As part of the process of the Wellborn-area annexation in 2012, non-annexation
development agreements were extended to property owners in accordance with state statute. The
agreements were for a period of ten years and will be expiring on 4/27/2021. The City Council has
the ability to allow them to expire, extend the expiration, or move forward with commencing
annexation proceedings.
Budget & Financial Summary: If the agreements are allowed to expire or if they are extended,
there would not be a financial impact. However, if the Council wishes to move forward with
commencing annexation proceedings, there would be a financial impact based on the extension of
services that would have to be further outlined in a Service Agreement between the City and property
owners at a later date.

Reviewed By CBC:City Council
Agenda Caption:Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action adopting a resolution

Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Core Services & Infratructure, Neighborhood Integrity
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends adoption of the resolution to approve the application for a
Section 108 loan.
Summary: At the February 11, 2021, City Council directed staff to move forward with an application
to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for a Section 108 Loan to provide
funding to LULAC Oak Hill Apartments for a complete rehabilitation project. The Section 108 program is a
provision of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and allows Entitlement Communities to borrow up to five times
their current annual grant amount. Future CDBG allocations guarantee the loan. Section 108 loans can be used as a source of
financing for economic development, housing rehabilitation, public facilities and infrastructure.

Introduction:
The City of College Station, Texas is requesting $2,808,018 in funding under the Section 108
Loan Guarantee Program (Section 108) of the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). The Section 108
program is a provision of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and allows
Entitlement Communities to borrow up to five times their current annual grant amount. Future
CDBG allocations guarantee the loan. Section 108 loans can be used as a source of financing for
economic development, housing rehabilitation, public facilities, and infrastructure. Cities such
as College Station do not receive enough CDBG funding in any one year to allow for the
completion of large-scale physical development and rehabilitation projects. In addition, HUD
regulations do not allow Entitlement communities to “Stock-pile” their allocations over several
years to build sufficient funding for a project. Therefore, the loan guarantee program provides
loans large enough to carry out larger local projects that can revitalize and improve
neighborhoods. The loans are required to be repaid within 20 years and to not absorb all of the
annual CDBG allocation. The current and future CDBG allocations are security for the loan.
Section 108 obligations are financed through underwritten public offerings. Financing between
public offerings is provided through an interim lending facility establish by HUD. Interest rates
on interim borrowing are typically 15 to 20 basis points above the Treasury borrowing rates.
The activity to be carried out with the Section 108 must meet HUD’s community development
objectives as well as the City’s priorities detailed in the latest PY2020 – 2024 Consolidated Plan.
The primary objective of the CDBG program and the Section 108 program, as defined in 24 CFR
570.200(1)(3), is to assist low- to moderate-income (LMI) residents with at least 70% of its
funding. Within this objective, all activities must meet one or more of the three national
objectives defined under 24 CFR 570.200 (a)(2) as benefitting LMI families, aiding in the
prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or meeting other community development needs

that have an urgency due to existing conditions that pose a serious and immediate threat to the
health or welfare of the community and where other financial resources are not available.
Proposed Activities:
Eligibility: Housing Rehabilitation – LMH under 570.202 (a)(1); Matrix Code 14B
Requested Amount of Section 108 Assistance: Total: $2,808,018
Description:
LULAC Oak Hill Apartments is a 50-unit property constructed approximately 40 years ago to provide
housing to low-income elderly residents and persons with disabilities. Original funding for development
included the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program. One unit is reserved for an on-site
manager.
LULAC Oak Hill has never undergone a substantial rehabilitation and many of its components are well
beyond their useful life and in poor condition. A preliminary physical needs assessment was completed
and a contractor was retained that has experience with multi-family renovations to inspect the property
and provide a cost estimate for the necessary repairs. The estimated cost of renovations is
approximately $2,200,000, which would be cost-prohibitive to fund through conventional loans, LIHTC,
or tax-exempt bonds due to the high cost and complexity of financing.
The scope of work for 50-units will include complete interior and exterior renovations that will increase
safety for the tenants and include energy efficient upgrades. Renovations will include the Club Building,
parking areas, and fencing.
As LULAC Oak Hill maintains 100% occupancy of all 50-units, temporary relocation will take place while
each unit is being renovated. Relocation expenses will include housing, storage, and moving expenses
for each tenant.
Rental Housing – Rehabilitation to address Special Needs the population is a goal identified in the
PY2020 – 2024 Consolidated Plan and the PY2020 Action Plan.
All residents of LULAC Oak Hill apartments have a household income of 50% or less of the area median
income and must be 62 years of age or older or have a disability. Therefore, this activity meets the
objective of benefiting LMI residents.
This project will ensure safe, decent, affordable housing for the City’s low-income elderly population for
at least 20 years.

Resolution to Oppose Senate Bill 10
Sponsor:Brian Piscacek, Assistant to the City Manager
Reviewed By CBC:City Council
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a resolution expressing opposition
to the proposed Senate Bill 10 and similar legislation in the 87th Texas Legislature to restrict the
ability of local governments to advocate for their communities.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Good Governance
Recommendation(s): Staff recommend that Council approve the resolution.
Summary: This item was requested at the April 8, 2021, City Council meeting to be brought back by
staff for Council consideration. The 87th Texas Legislature is well underway and will adjourn May 31,
2021. One bill under consideration is Senate Bill 10 (SB 10), which was filed by Senator Paul
Bettencourt on March 10, 2021. SB 10 proposes to prohibit a city or county from spending public
funds to directly or indirectly influence or attempt to influence the outcome of any legislation pending
before the legislature. As such, it would significantly impact the City's ability to advocate for our
community while adding financial costs and operational complexities.
SB 10 is just one of several pieces of legislation aimed at limiting local government influence in
Austin. As of the publication of this agenda, SB 10 has been favorably voted out of the Senate and
has moved to the House for their consideration.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION,
TEXAS, EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED SENATE BILL 10 AND
SIMILAR LEGISLATION IN THE 87TH TEXAS LEGISLATURE TO RESTRICT THE
ABILITY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO ADVOCATE FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES
WHEREAS, on December 10, 2020, the City Council of the City of College Station, Texas, passed
Resolution No. 12-10-20-4.5 adopting the City’s 2021 Legislative Program; and
WHEREAS, the 2021 Legislative Program provides that the City seeks to preserve home rule
authority for College Station citizens and may oppose bills that allow for state preemption of
municipal authority or erode College Station’s authority to govern locally; and
WHEREAS, with the Texas Legislature’s increasing focus on local government, the City has
benefitted greatly from its membership in the Texas Municipal League, as well as relying on modest,
professional consulting services to navigate each legislative session; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Senate Bill 10, along with similar legislation in the House, would
prohibit a city or county from spending public funds to directly or indirectly influence or attempt to
influence the outcome of any legislation pending before the legislature; and
WHEREAS, this bill would deleteriously affect the City’s ability to advocate for our community
while adding financial costs and operational complexities; now, therefore,

TEXAS:
PART 1:That the facts and recitations set forth in this Resolution are declared true and correct.
