8.CONSENT ITEMS
Presentation, discussion, and possible action on consent items which consist of ministerial or
"housekeeping" items as allowed by law: A Councilmember may request additional
information at this time. Any Councilmember may remove an item from the Consent Agenda
for a separate vote.
Items 8.5, 8.8, and 8.10 were pulled from Consent for clarification.
(8.3): Troy Rother, Traffic Engineer, stated that this prohibition is needed because Nueces Drive is
not wide enough to accommodate U-turning traffic. The street is approximately 20 ft wide. Drivers
coming off FM 2818 wanting to access the frontage road adjacent to the school must U-turn around
a median. Due to the narrow width of the street, the U-turn is completed by making a 3-point turn.
By doing a 3-point turn, during school drop off and pick-up times, traffic on Nueces Drive backs up
onto FM 2818. Mr. Rother also explained the reasoning for the media at this location, it was part of
2018 media project. TxDOT required this median since the roadway ties into their roadway.
(8.8): Emily Fisher, Assistant Director Capital Projects, stated that The City is undertaking a project
to widen Rock Prairie from FM 2154 to Holleman Drive from a 2-lane rural roadway to 3 lane
concrete section with bike lanes and sidewalks. This includes widening the railroad crossing and
improving the interconnect signal at the intersection Rock Prairie and FM 2154. This will
significantly help with the mobility and safety of this intersection. Widening the crossing and
improving the gates of the existing crossing requires design and approval by Union Pacific Railroad.
(8.10): Chris Perkins, College Station Police, stated that the proposed ordinance would prohibit pet
stores from selling dogs and cats unless they were obtained from a city or county animal shelter or
rescue organization.
8.1. Presentation, possible action, and discussion of minutes for:

9.2 Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a resolution to support and
authorize the submission of a grant application to the Texas Department of Transportation to
implement the George Bush Drive (FM 2347) Separated Bike Lanes Project.
Venessa Garza, Planning and Development, stated that in January 2021, the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) issued a call for projects to local communities for funding assistance to help
enhance bicycle and pedestrian safety, mobility, and connectivity through infrastructure projects.
Staff submitted the first phase of the application earlier this year, which included a general project
description and a high-level cost estimate. Recently, staff was notified by TxDOT that this project
was selected to move on to the next phase in the application process. The next phase requires a more
detailed application, along with more precise cost estimates. Approximately $13 million will be
available and, if chosen, projects will be placed on a prioritized Conditional Project List for
anticipated fiscal year 2023 and 2024 appropriations.
Project identification and selection of projects is based on criteria set by TxDOT including safety,
geographic equity, connectivity, and accessibility. The George Bush Drive (FM 2347) Separated
Bike Lanes Project would extend from Texas Avenue to Wellborn Road and include a vertical barrier
between the bike lane and automobile traffic as well as intersection modifications. This would
improve the existing bike lanes by creating a safer and more comfortable corridor for biking to and
from Texas A&M University. The project is approximately 1.3 miles in length and the grant covers
up to 80% of construction costs. The City must provide a minimum local match of 20% for
construction and 100% of design costs. Cost overruns will need to be paid for by the City. A
resolution is needed from City Council to show support for the project, authorize city staff to submit
the application, and a commitment to fund the project if selected which includes entering into an
Advanced Funding Agreement with TxDOT.
At approximately 7:25 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened for Citizens Comments.
Robert Rose, College Station, came before Council to talk about the challenges of bike lanes, which
he believes are heat and rain fall. Mr. Rose stated that covered bike lanes would help solve some of
the challenges that we have.
There being no comments, the Citizens Comments was closed at 7:28 p.m.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Crompton and a second by Councilmember
Brick, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to approve Resolution No. 05-27-
21-9.2, to support and authorize the submission of a grant application to the Texas Department of
Transportation to implement the George Bush Drive (FM 2347) Separated Bike Lanes Project. The
motion carried unanimously.
9.3 Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a resolution to support and
authorize the submission of a grant application to the Texas Department of Transportation to
implement the Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818) Shared-use Path Project.
Venessa Garza, Planning and Development, stated that this resolution of support and authorize
follows the same procedure as Regular Agenda Item 9.2 above. The Harvey Mitchell Parkway
Page 13 of 159
CCM052721 Minutes Page 7
(FM2818) Shared-use Path Project would extend on the south side of the road from the Jones Crossing
commercial development to the College Station library. It would provide connections for students
and residents to area parks, schools, and commercial areas. The project is approximately 0.4 miles
in length. A resolution is needed from City Council to show support for the project, authorize city
staff to submit the application and a commitment to fund the project if selected which includes
entering into an Advanced Funding Agreement with TxDOT.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Nichols and a second by Councilmember
Crompton, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to approve Resolution No. 05-
27-21-9.3, to support and authorize the submission of a grant application to the Texas Department of
Transportation to implement the Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818) Shared-use Path Project. The
motion carried unanimously.
9.4 Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a Semi-Annual Report on System-
Wide Impact Fees for Water, Wastewater, and Roadway.
Carol Cotter, Planning and Development, stated that the Impact Fee Semi-Annual Report provided is
in accordance with the Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395.058. The City of College Station
adopted “System-Wide” Impact Fees for water, wastewater, and roadways in the latter part of 2016.
Fee implementation has occurred in phases, with full fee implementation having occurred in
December of 2018. The service area for roadway impact fees is bounded by the City-limits; however,
service areas for system-wide water and wastewater impact fees do not strictly follow City-limit lines
and include some areas of the City’s Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Land Use Assumptions and
the related Capital Improvements Plans have remained applicable over the reporting period October
1, 2020, through March 31, 2021.
The statutory 5-year update is in progress and expected to be completed in the latter part of this year.
Since there have been no major changes to any of the impact fee programs during the reporting period,
this report primarily documents the fees collected in each of the service areas and identifies the impact
fee capital improvement projects that the revenues have been budgeted to help fund. The Planning
and Zoning Commission, with the inclusion of an ETJ representative for service areas extending into
ETJ, serves as the Impact Fee Advisory Committee (IFAC) per the City of College Station Code of
Ordinances Chapter 107, Impact Fees. On May 20, 2021, the Impact Fee Semi-Annual Report was
presented to the IFAC. The Planning & Zoning Commission, acting in its capacity as the Impact Fee
Advisory Committee heard this item at their May 7, 2021 meeting and voted 7-0 to recommend
acceptance of the report.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Nichols and a second by Councilmember
Maloney, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to approve the Semi-Annual
Report on System-Wide Impact Fees for Water, Wastewater, and Roadway. The motion carried
unanimously.

Item No. 7.3.
Rental Registration Ordinance Amendment
Sponsor:Debbie Eller, Director of Community Services
Reviewed By CBC:City Council
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action to amend Chapter 103, "Buildings
and Building Regulations," Article V, "Single-Family and Duplex Unit Rental Registration".
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Good Governance, Financial Sustainablility, Neighborhood Integrity
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval.
Summary:
As requested by Council, staff presented an overview of the Rental Registration Program and a fee analysis at the January 14th
meeting. Council directed staff to research additional information, develop a proposed fee structure, and establish a mechanism for
stepped up penalties for continued non-compliance.
At the April 22nd Council meeting, staff presented a brief history of the program, discussed current program management, provided
statistics, summarized a fee analysis completed, and proposed a fee structure for consideration. Staff proposed a mechanism to
address property owners who do not register their rental in a timely manner.
The mechanism presented included developing a civil penalty for non-compliance with the ordinance. The property owner would have
30 days to complete registration after being contacted by City staff. The civil penalty would range from not less than $25 to not more
than $100 if non-compliance continues. For egregious non-compliance, each day a violation continues will be a separate offense. This
penalty structure is similar to the current penalty in place for false alarm responses.
Council also directed staff to leave the program as a one-time registration process and to increase the registration fee from the current
rate of $15.00 to $60.00. This amount will move the fee towards full fee recovery, which would be consistent with the City’s fee policy.
Staff will conduct a fee analysis on an annual basis during the preparation of the budget. This fee amendment will be included with the
Fee Resolution that will be considered by City Council in August.
Council’s consideration is requested to adopt the revised Rental Registration ordinance as discussed on April 22nd.

Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their May 20, 2021
meeting where they voted 5-2 to recommend denial. Staff also recommends denial of the request.
Summary: Summary: The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use and Character Map from Wellborn Preserve-Open to Wellborn Commercial for
approximately 2 acres, generally located at 3970 Gus Roy Road. The subject property and properties
immediately adjacent to the west and south are primarily designated as Wellborn Preserve-Open on
the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map, while the properties to the east are
Restricted Suburban, and the properties to the north are Restricted Suburban and Wellborn
Commercial. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment is in preparation for a PDD rezoning of the
property to allow for additional commercial options in the area. It is the applicant’s intent to develop
warehouses and offices on the subject property.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City: The subject property and
properties to the west and south have a future land use designation of Wellborn Preserve-Open. The
Wellborn Preserve-Open land use designation is generally for areas that, due to public service
limitations or a prevailing rural character, should have limited development activities. These areas
tend to consist of low-density single-family residential lots of one acre or more but may be reduced to
20,000 square feet if clustered around undeveloped open space. The properties to the north and
east are designated as Restricted Suburban. These properties are continuing to be built out as
residential properties within the Creek Meadows Subdivision.
The subject property is located within the Wellborn Community Plan which was adopted by City
Council on April 25, 2013. Generally, this area is located in the southwestern portion of the City and
includes much of the Wellborn Community. According to the plan, the annexation process was
contentious and throughout the process, residents, landowners, and business owners expressed
their desire to preserve the area’s rural and unique character. Through the Wellborn Community
Page 27 of 159
Plan, citizens of the community have overwhelmingly identified the long-term character of Wellborn
as being one of a rural nature with open space that is both privately and publicly held. The citizens
see the area continuing as a place where local stores survive and low-density large acreage
homesites remain.
Within the past five years, there has only been one approved Comprehensive Plan amendment for
Wellborn Commercial in this part of College Station. In January of 2019, City Council heard and
approved a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map to allow
Wellborn Commercial for approximately 7 acres located north along Wellborn Road. Wellborn
Commercial is generally for concentrations of commercial activities that focus primarily on the nearby
residents versus the larger community. Such uses should be limited in size and should not
accommodate for drive-thru services. Specific design elements, as described in the Wellborn
Community Plan, should be incorporated into such developments so as to limit the visual impact on
the community and enhance the defined character. The effect of these amendments on the area are
marginal as the area’s Future Land Use and Character Map has remained largely unchanged with
the prevailing use in the subject area remaining low density residential uses.
2. Compatibility with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the immediate area
concerned, the general area, and the City as a whole: The applicant is requesting an amendment to
the Future Land Use and Character Map to Wellborn Commercial. The Wellborn Commercial
designation is generally for concentrations of commercial activities that focus primarily on the nearby
residents versus the larger community.
To the north, east, and south of the subject property is Creek Meadows Subdivision. Also to the north
across Victoria are office and storage uses. Immediately west of the property is an existing single
family residence and several undeveloped rural tracts. The Wellborn Community Plan states that
“citizens of the wellborn community and surrounding areas have identified the desire to maintain the
existing level of commercial activity,” and that these commercial “development patterns should be
closer to F.M. 2154.” The proposed amendment to Wellborn Commercial would create a commercial
land use designation that is entirely surrounded by residential uses, except for some small
commercial uses across Victoria Avenue. This would also create an isolated commercial use on the
south side of the street that is approximately 1,500 feet away from F.M. 2154. In addition, the
proposed configuration may make it more challenging for the public to find the business. Visibility will
be further restricted should the property eventually be zoned for WC Wellborn Commercial by the
required WC Wellborn Commercial-to-residential buffer requirements of a 20-foot landscaped buffer
yard with an approved buffer fence.
3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: There is no FEMA designated floodplain on
the property. The applicant has stated that the subject property “will follow city codes and ordinances
and will not have adverse impacts on the surrounding areas.”
4. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation network:
Water service and fire flow will be provided by Wellborn Special Utility District. A public sanitary
sewer line extending service to this site is currently under construction. The subject property
generally drains to the southeast within the Peach Creek Drainage Basin and is not encumbered by
FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Detention is required with future development and would
Page 28 of 159
be addressed with the site plan. Drainage and all other infrastructure required with site development
shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines.
The subject property is located along Victoria Avenue, which is designated as a future 2-Lane Major
Collector on the Thoroughfare Plan and currently constructed as two-lane rural roadway. A City
capital project to reconstruct this portion of Victoria Ave has started design and is anticipated to begin
construction in FY22. The Wellborn Commercial designation likely increases the potential traffic
generated in comparison to the existing Wellborn Preserve-Open designation though the amount
would be limited due to the acreage involved and would vary depending upon the specific use
developed.
5. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan: The intent of
College Station’s Future Land Use and Character Map is to create a community with strong, unique
neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts, distinct corridors, and a protected and
enhanced natural environment. The subject property and surrounding areas to the north, west, and
south are identified in the Comprehensive Plan as part of Wellborn Community Plan. The Wellborn
Community Plan states that “citizens of the Wellborn Community have overwhelming identified the
long-term character of Wellborn as being one of a rural nature with open space that is both privately
and publicly held. The Citizens see the area continuing as a place where local stores survive and
low-density large acreage homesites remain.”
The proposed amendment to Wellborn Commercial would create a commercial land use designation
that has minimal roadway frontage and is surrounded by residential uses. This would also create an
isolated commercial use away from F.M. 2154, which the Wellborn Community Plan states should be
closer to F.M. 2154. The Wellborn Commercial land use designation is inappropriate for this property
as it is surrounded by existing and future residential and as it is not located in an area that the
Wellborn Community Plan describes as appropriate for commercial uses.

Land Use Plan Amendment
1. What specific element of the Comprehensive Plan (for example, Land Use & Character designation,
Thoroughfare Plan Context Class, or thoroughfare alignment) and at what specific location (if
applicable) is requested to be amended?
Land Use Plan Amendment at 3970 Gus Roy Road
2. Please list the amendment(s) requested.
We request to amend the Land Use Plan from Wellborn Preserve-Open to Wellborn Commercial
3. Please explain the reason for the amendment(s).
The development costs of developing 1-acre lots, in accordance with the WPO Wellborn Preserve-
Open zoning district have made a low-density development on this property unfeasible. Concrete
roadways, underground utilities and impact fees for a 2-lot subdivision results in extremely expensive
lot costs. The character of this area is established by the offices and commercial areas across Victoria
Avenue.
4. Please explain the changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City.
When the City began requiring streets to be constructed using concrete rather than asphalt in
November 2016, not only did it alter the feel of what was intended to be “rural character”, but it
added a significant cost to development - especially low-density residential development. Further,
both the City and Wellborn Special Utility District have started requiring impact fees that only add
more costs to be distributed among a small number of lots. These added costs make low-density
residential development unaffordable.
5. Please show the compatibility with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the
immediate area concerned, the general area, and the city as a whole.
Wellborn Commercial is compatible with this area. Wellborn Commercial was designed for low
intensity commercial uses and activities, such as office buildings. The property is located across the
street from office buildings, Wellborn SUD offices, and an RV/Boat storage facility. Office and
warehousing are compatible with these established as well as the nearby residences. They are quiet
and low intensity uses that will have positive economic impacts as well as compatibility with the
established commercial uses and adjacent residences.
6. Please list any impacts on environmentally sensitive and natural areas.
This property does not have any environmentally sensitive areas. All development will follow City
codes and ordinances and will not have adverse impacts on surrounding areas.
Page 34 of 159
7. List any impacts on infrastructure, including water, wastewater, drainage and transportation
network.
Water is sufficient in this area. This property wastewater demands were accounted for in the Creek
Meadows Subdivision sewer report. This property has access to sewer and will be served by the
adjacent development. Drainage would have no impact because of required compliance with the
Unified Development Ordinance.
8. Explain consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.
The Wellborn Community Plan states that while more commercial is amenable to residents, it should
not be more intense than what you can find today. The proposed office and warehousing uses are
not more intense than existing commercial uses found across Victoria Avenue. You can find both uses
in the businesses across the street.
Further, the plan states that the “Community Character Goal for the Wellborn Community Plan is to
be a community of rural character positioned for contextually appropriate growth that embodies and
sustains the uniqueness and history of the area.” The proposed office and warehousing is
contextually appropriate with the businesses that have existed in the community for years and will
visually represent the desired aesthetic for commercial development.

including future locations; and are subject to modifications by the City to fit local conditions,
budget constraints, cost participation, and right-of-way availability that warrant further
refinement as development occurs. Linear routes such as bikeways, greenways, thoroughfares,
pedestrian ways, waterlines and sewer lines that are a part of the College Station
Comprehensive Plan may be relocated by the City 1,000 feet from the locations shown in the
Plan without being considered an amendment thereto.

Item No. 8.2.
Ordinance authorizing the issuance of up to $62,443,000 in principal amount of “City of
College Station, Texas Certificates of Obligation, Series 2021"
Sponsor:Mary Ellen Leonard, Director of Fiscal Services
Reviewed By CBC:City Council
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action on an ordinance authorizing the
issuance of up to $62,443,000 in principal amount of “City of College Station, Texas Certificates of
Obligation, Series 2021”; delegating the authority to certain city officials to execute certain
documents relating to the sale of the certificates; approving and authorizing instruments and
procedures relating to said certificates; and enacting other provisions relating to the subject.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Financial Sustainability
Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Council move to approve the attached ordinance authorizing the issuance of
Certificates of Obligation, Series 2021; delegating the authority to certain City Officials to execute
certain documents relating to the sale of the certificates; approving and authorizing instruments and
procedures relating to the certificates; and enacting other provisions relating to the subject.
Summary: The City Council is authorized to approve the issuance of Certificates of Obligation
(CO’s) after approving a resolution directing notice to be published of the intent to issue the CO’s.
On April 8, 2021, Council approved a resolution directing staff to publish the City’s notice of intent to
issue the CO’s, as required by law. On April 17th and April 24th such notices were duly published.
The City of College Station typically issues debt to fund various capital projects identified and
approved as a part of the annual budget. The City primarily uses three types of debt instruments to
fulfill those requirements:
1. General Obligation Bonds (GOB’s) are based on the full faith and credit of the City and are paid
primarily through the debt service portion of the ad valorem tax rate. GOBs are authorized by the
voters and therefore the notice is provided in the election process.
2. Utility Revenue Bonds (URB’s) are backed by the revenues of the City's various utilities and are
issued as a business activity. These are typically only issued for utility capital projects.
3. Certificates of Obligation (CO’s) normally include at least one additional revenue stream such as
utility revenues, but are considered to be much like GOBs and therefore normally receive a rating
similar to GOB’s. Our policy for issuing CO's allows more flexibility in their issue than GOB’s,
particularly when other revenues are anticipated to assist in debt service.
It is at the recommendation of the City’s Financial Advisor, Ms. Marti Shew with Hilltop Securities,
Inc., that the City issue Certificates of Obligation for utility projects rather than Utility Revenue
Page 46 of 159
Bonds.
This particular issue will provide resources for street, information technology, equipment
maintenance facility and fleet vehicles, electric, water and sewer systems improvements; and debt
issuance costs.
If this ordinance is approved, the City Council will be delegating to the Mayor, the City Manager and
the Assistant City Manager/CFO the authority to complete the sale of the certificates and which must
be completed by June 10, 2022.
Budget & Financial Summary: Staff reviewed the impact of the Certificates on the City’s ability to
meet debt service requirements and the effect they may have on the ad valorem tax rate and on the
utility rates and presented Council a workshop on May 13, 2021.

financial institution, or other agency named by the Pricing Officer or in accordance with the
provisions of (g) below (the "Paying Agent/Registrar"), books or records for the registration and
transfer of the Certificates (the "Registration Books"), and the City hereby appoints the Paying
Agent/Registrar as its registrar and transfer agent to keep such books or records and make such
transfers and registrations under such reasonable regulations as the City and the Paying
Agent/Registrar may prescribe; and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall make such transfers and
registrations as herein provided. It shall be the duty of the Paying Agent/Registrar to obtain from
the registered owner and record in the Registration Books the address of the registered owner of
each Certificate to which payments with respect to the Certificates shall be mailed, as herein
provided. The City or its designee shall have the right to inspect the Registration Books during
regular business hours of the Paying Agent/Registrar at its Designated Trust Office, but
otherwise the Paying Agent/Registrar shall keep the Registration Books confidential and, unless
otherwise required by law, shall not permit their inspection by any other entity. Registration of
each Certificate may be transferred in the Registration Books only upon presentation and
surrender thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar at its Designated Trust Office for transfer of
registration and cancellation, together with proper written instruments of assignment, in form and
with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, evidencing the
assignment of such Certificate, or any portion thereof in any Authorized Denomination, to the
Page 53 of 159
5
assignee or assignees thereof, and the right of such assignee or assignees to have such Certificate
or any such portion thereof registered in the name of such assignee or assignees. Upon the
assignment and transfer of any Certificate or any portion thereof, a new substitute certificate or
certificates shall be issued in exchange therefor in the manner herein provided.
(b) The entity in whose name any Certificate shall be registered in the Registration
Books at any time shall be treated as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes of this
Ordinance, whether or not such Certificate shall be overdue, and the City and the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary; and payment of, or on
account of, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any such certificate shall be made
only to such registered owner. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability upon such certificate to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(c) The City hereby further appoints the Paying Agent/Registrar to act as the paying
agent for paying the principal of and interest on the Certificates, and to act as its agent to
exchange or replace Certificates, all as provided in this Ordinance. The Paying Agent/Registrar
shall keep proper records of all payments made by the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar with
respect to the Certificates, and of all exchanges thereof, and all replacements thereof, as provided
in this Ordinance.
(d) Each Certificate may be exchanged for fully registered certificates in the manner
set forth herein. Each Certificate issued and delivered pursuant to this Ordinance may, upon
surrender thereof at the Designated Trust Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, together with a
written request therefor duly executed by the registered owner or the assignee or assignees
thereof, or its or their duly authorized attorneys or representatives, with guarantee of signatures
satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, at the option of the registered owner or such assignee
or assignees, as appropriate, be exchanged for fully registered Certificates, without interest
coupons, in the form prescribed in the FORM OF CERTIFICATE, in an Authorized
Denomination (subject to the requirement hereinafter stated that each substitute Certificate shall
have a single stated maturity date), as requested in writing by such registered owner or such
assignee or assignees, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of any
Certificate or Certificates so surrendered, and payable to the appropriate registered owner,
assignee, or assignees, as the case may be. If any Certificate or portion thereof is assigned and
transferred, each Certificate issued in exchange therefor shall have the same principal maturity
date and bear interest at the same rate as the Certificate for which it is being exchanged. Each
substitute Certificate shall bear a letter and/or number to distinguish it from each other
Certificate. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall exchange or replace Certificates as provided
herein, and each fully registered Certificate or Certificates delivered in exchange for or
replacement of any Certificate or portion thereof as permitted or required by any provision of
this Ordinance shall constitute one of the Certificates for all purposes of this Ordinance, and may
again be exchanged or replaced. It is specifically provided, however, that any Certificate
delivered in exchange for or replacement of another Certificate prior to the first scheduled
interest payment date on the Certificates (as stated on the face thereof) shall be dated the same
date as such Certificate, but each substitute Certificate so delivered on or after such first
scheduled interest payment date shall be dated as of the interest payment date preceding the date
on which such substitute Certificate is delivered, unless such substitute Certificate is delivered on
an interest payment date, in which case it shall be dated as of such date of delivery; provided,
Page 54 of 159
6
however, that if at the time of delivery of any substitute Certificate the interest on the Certificate
for which it is being exchanged has not been paid, then such substitute Certificate shall be dated
as of the date to which such interest has been paid in full. On each substitute Certificate issued
in exchange for or replacement of any Certificate or Certificates issued under this Ordinance
there shall be printed thereon a Paying Agent/Registrar's Authentication Certificate, in the form
hereinafter set forth in the FORM OF CERTIFICATE (the "Authentication Certificate"). An
authorized representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, before the delivery of any such
substitute Certificate, date such substitute Certificate in the manner set forth above, and manually
sign and date the Authentication Certificate, and no such substitute Certificate shall be deemed to
be issued or outstanding unless the Authentication Certificate is so executed. The Paying
Agent/Registrar promptly shall cancel all Certificates surrendered for exchange or replacement.
No additional ordinances, orders, or resolutions need be passed or adopted by the City Council or
any other body or person so as to accomplish the foregoing exchange or replacement of any
Certificates or portion thereof, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall provide for the printing,
execution, and delivery of the substitute Certificate in the manner prescribed herein. Pursuant to
Chapter 1206, Texas Government Code, the duty of exchange or replacement of any Certificates
as aforesaid is hereby imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and, upon the execution of
Authentication Certificate, the exchanged or replaced Certificate shall be valid, incontestable,
and enforceable in the same manner and with the same effect as the Certificates which originally
were delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, approved by the Attorney General, and registered by
the Comptroller of Public Accounts. Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be
required to transfer or exchange any Certificate so selected for redemption, in whole or in part,
within 45 calendar days of the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, such limitation of
transfer shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled principal
of a Certificate.
(e) All Certificates issued in exchange or replacement of any other Certificate or
portion thereof, (i) shall be issued in fully registered form, without interest coupons, with the
principal of and interest on such Certificates to be payable only to the registered owners thereof,
(ii) may be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, (iii) may be transferred and assigned,
(iv) may be exchanged for other Certificates, (v) shall have the characteristics, (vi) shall be
signed and sealed, and (vii) the principal of and interest on the Certificates shall be payable, all
as provided, and in the manner required or indicated, in the FORM OF CERTIFICATE.
(f) The City shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's reasonable and customary fees
and charges for making transfers of Certificates, but the registered owner of any Certificate
requesting such transfer shall pay any taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid
with respect thereto. The registered owner of any Certificates requesting any exchange shall pay
the Paying Agent/Registrar's reasonable and standard or customary fees and charges for
exchanging any such certificate or portion thereof, together with any taxes or governmental
charges required to be paid with respect thereto, all as a condition precedent to the exercise of
such privilege of exchange, except, however, that in the case of the exchange of an assigned and
transferred Certificate or Certificates or any portion or portions thereof in an Authorized
Denomination, as provided in this Ordinance, such fees and charges will be paid by the City. In
addition, the City hereby covenants with the registered owners of the Certificates that it will (i)
pay the reasonable and standard or customary fees and charges of the Paying Agent/Registrar for
its services with respect to the payment of the principal of and interest on Certificates, when due,
Page 55 of 159
7
and (ii) pay the fees and charges of the Paying Agent/Registrar for services with respect to the
transfer or registration of Certificates solely to the extent above provided, and with respect to the
exchange of Certificates solely to the extent above provided.
(g) The City covenants with the registered owners of the Certificates that at all times
while the Certificates are outstanding the City will provide a competent and legally qualified
bank, trust company, financial institution, or other agency to act as and perform the services of
Paying Agent/Registrar for the Certificates under this Ordinance, and that the Paying
Agent/Registrar will be one entity. The City reserves the right to, and may, at its option, change
the Paying Agent/Registrar upon not less than sixty days written notice to the Paying
Agent/Registrar. In the event that the entity at any time acting as Paying Agent/Registrar (or its
successor by merger, acquisition, or other method) should resign or otherwise cease to act as
such, the City covenants that it will promptly appoint a competent and legally qualified national
or state banking institution which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise trust
powers, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, and whose
qualifications substantially are similar to the previous Paying Agent/Registrar to act as Paying
Agent/Registrar under this Ordinance. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the
previous Paying Agent/Registrar promptly shall transfer and deliver the Registration Books (or a
copy thereof), along with all other pertinent books and records relating to the Certificates, to the
new Paying Agent/Registrar designated and appointed by the City. Upon any change in the
Paying Agent/Registrar, the City promptly will cause a written notice thereof to be sent by the
new Paying Agent/Registrar to each registered owner of the Certificates, by United States mail,
first-class postage prepaid, which notice also shall give the address of the new Paying
Agent/Registrar. By accepting the position and performing as such, each Paying Agent/Registrar
shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this Ordinance, and a certified copy of this
Ordinance shall be delivered to each Paying Agent/Registrar.
Section 4. FORM OF CERTIFICATES. The form of the Certificates, including the form
of the Authentication Certificate, the form of Assignment and the form of Registration
Certificate of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas to be attached to the
Certificates initially issued and delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, shall be in substantially the
form as set forth in Exhibit A to this Ordinance, shall be numbered consecutively from R-1
upward, with the Initial Certificate being numbered T-1, with such appropriate variations,
omissions, or insertions as are permitted or required by this Ordinance and with the FORM OF

Pricing Certificate. The FORM OF CERTIFICATE as it appears in Exhibit A shall be
completed, amended and modified by Bond Counsel to incorporate the information set forth in

municipal bond insurance, if any, covering all or any part of the Certificates.
Section 5. RESERVED.
Section 6. LEVY OF TAX; INTEREST AND SINKING FUND; REVENUE PLEDGE.
Page 56 of 159
8
(a) That a special fund or account, to be designated the "2021 Certificate of
Obligation Interest and Sinking Fund" (the "Interest and Sinking Fund") is hereby created and
shall be established and maintained by the City. The Interest and Sinking Fund shall be kept
separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of the City, and shall be used only for
paying the interest on and principal of the Certificates. All ad valorem taxes levied and collected
for and on account of the Certificates shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit of the Interest
and Sinking Fund. During each year while any of the Certificates are outstanding and unpaid,
the governing body of the City shall compute and ascertain the rate and amount of ad valorem
tax, based on the latest approved tax rolls of the City, with full allowances being made for tax
delinquencies and the cost of tax collections, which will be sufficient to raise and produce the
money required to pay the interest on the Certificates as such interest comes due, and to provide
a sinking fund to pay the principal (including mandatory sinking fund redemption payments, if
any) of the Certificates as such principal matures or comes due through operation of the
mandatory sinking fund redemption, if any, but never less than 2% of the original amount of the
Certificates as a sinking fund each year. The rate and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby
ordered to be levied against all taxable property in the City for each year while any of the
Certificates is outstanding and unpaid, and the ad valorem tax shall be assessed and collected
each such year and deposited to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund. Ad valorem taxes
necessary to pay the interest on and principal of the Certificates, as such interest comes due and
such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law.
(b) That the Certificates are additionally secured by and shall be payable from a
limited pledge of Surplus Revenues (not to exceed $1,000). The Surplus Revenues are pledged
by the City pursuant to authority of Chapter 1502, Texas Government Code, specifically Section
1502.058 thereof. The City shall promptly deposit the Surplus Revenues upon their receipt to
the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund created pursuant to Section 6, to pay the principal and
interest on the Certificates. The amount of Surplus Revenues pledged to the payment of the
Certificates shall not exceed $1,000. If Surplus Revenues or any other lawfully available
revenues, income or resources of the City are deposited or budgeted to be deposited in the
Interest and Sinking Fund in advance of the time when ad valorem taxes are scheduled to be
levied for any year, then the amount of taxes that otherwise would have been required to be
levied pursuant to Section 6 may be reduced to the extent and by the amount of the Surplus
Revenues or other lawfully available revenues, income or resources then on deposit or budgeted
to be deposited to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund.

accomplish the transfer of monies to the Interest and Sinking Fund of this issue in ample time to
pay such items of principal and interest due on the Certificates.
Section 8. SECURITY FOR FUNDS. That the Interest and Sinking Fund created by this
Ordinance shall be secured in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted or required by law

purposes and in the manner permitted or required by this Ordinance.

(a) Replacement Certificates. That in the event any outstanding Certificate is
damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be
printed, executed, and delivered, a new Certificate of the same principal amount, maturity, and
interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, in replacement for
such Certificate in the manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for Replacement Certificates. That application for replacement of
damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificates shall be made by the registered owner
thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Certificate,
the registered owner applying for a replacement Certificate shall furnish to the City and to the
Paying Agent/Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless from any loss or damage with respect thereto. Also, in every case of loss, theft, or
destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner shall furnish to the City and to the Paying
Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft, or destruction of such Certificate,
as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a Certificate, the registered owner
shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Certificate so damaged or
mutilated.
(c) No Default Occurred. That notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, in the event any such Certificate shall have matured, and no default has occurred which
is then continuing in the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on
the Certificate, the City may authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except
in the case of a damaged or mutilated Certificate) instead of issuing a replacement certificate,
provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section.
(d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Certificates. That prior to the issuance of any
replacement Certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such
Certificate with all legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every
replacement Certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that
any Certificate is lost, stolen, or destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the City
whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time, or be
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and
proportionately with any and all other Certificates duly issued under this Ordinance.
(e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Certificates. That in accordance with Section
1201.067, Texas Government Code, this Section of this Ordinance shall constitute authority for
the issuance of any such replacement Certificate without necessity of further action by the City
or any other body or person, and the duty of the replacement of such Certificates is hereby
authorized and imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver such Certificates in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided
in Section 5(d) of this Ordinance for Certificates issued in conversion and exchange of other
Certificates.
Section 10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS. The City covenants to refrain from
any action which would adversely affect, or to take such action as to ensure, the treatment of the
Certificates as obligations described in section 103 of the Code, the interest on which is not
Page 58 of 159
10
includable in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of federal income taxation. In
furtherance thereof, the City covenants as follows:
(a) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Certificates (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business
use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds are
so used, that amounts, whether or not received by the City, with respect to such private business
use, do not, under the terms of this Ordinance or any underlying arrangement, directly or
indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service on the
Certificates, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code;
(b) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use"
described in subsection (a) hereof exceeds five percent of the proceeds of the Certificates (less
amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of five percent is used
for a "private business use" which is "related" and not "disproportionate", within the meaning of
section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use;
(c) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of
$5,000,000, or five percent of the proceeds of the Certificates (less amounts deposited into a
reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state or
local governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code;
(d) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Certificates
being treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code;
(e) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Certificates being
"federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
(f) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Certificates, directly or
indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire
investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces a materially
higher yield over the term of the Certificates, other than investment property acquired with –
(1) proceeds of the Certificates invested for a reasonable temporary period of
three years or less until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the
Certificates are issued,
(2) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of
section 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(3) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund
to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates;
(g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Certificates or amounts treated
as proceeds of the Certificates, as may be necessary, so that the Certificates do not otherwise
contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent
applicable, section 149(d) of the Code; and
Page 59 of 159
11
(h) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period
(beginning on the date of delivery of the Certificates) an amount that is at least equal to 90
percent of the "Excess Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(f) of the Code and to pay to
the United States of America, not later than 60 days after the Certificates have been paid in full,
100 percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section
148(f) of the Code.
For purposes of the foregoing (a) and (b), the City understands that the term "proceeds"
includes "disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of
refunding bonds, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds expended
prior to the date of issuance of the Certificates. It is the understanding of the City that the
covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any regulations
or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event
that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which modify or expand provisions of the
Code, as applicable to the Certificates, the City will not be required to comply with any covenant
contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally-recognized
bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on
the Certificates under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are
hereafter promulgated which impose additional requirements which are applicable to the
Certificates, the City agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary,
in the opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal
income taxation of interest on the Certificates under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of
such intention, the City hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor, the City Manager and any
Assistant City Manager/CFO, severally, to execute any documents, certificates or reports
required by the Code, and to make such elections on behalf of the City which may be permitted
by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Certificates.
In order to facilitate compliance with clause (h) above, a "Rebate Fund" is hereby
established by the City for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such Fund shall
not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without limitation the bondholders.
The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with section 148 of the
Code.
Section 11. ALLOCATION OF, AND LIMITATION ON, EXPENDITURES FOR THE
PROJECT. That the City covenants to account for the expenditure of proceeds from the sale of
the Certificates and any investment earnings thereon to be used for the purposes described in
Section 1 of this Ordinance (such purpose referred to in this Section and Section 12 hereof as a
"Project") on its books and records by allocating proceeds to expenditures within 18 months of
the later of the date that (a) the expenditure on a Project is made or (b) such Project is completed.
The foregoing notwithstanding, the City shall not expend such proceeds or investment earnings
more than 60 days after the earlier of (a) the fifth anniversary of the date of delivery of the
Certificates or (b) the date the Certificates are retired, unless the City obtains an opinion of
nationally-recognized bond counsel substantially to the effect that such expenditure will not
adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Certificates. For purposes hereof, the City shall not
be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to comply will
not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the
interest.
Page 60 of 159
12
Section 12. DISPOSITION OF PROJECT. That the City covenants that the property
constituting a Project will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the
receipt by the City of cash or other compensation, unless any action taken in connection with
such disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Certificates. For purpose
of the foregoing, the City may rely on an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that the
action taken in connection with such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-
exempt status of the Certificates. For purposes of the foregoing, the portion of the property
comprising personal property and disposed in the ordinary course shall not be treated as a
transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes hereof, the City
shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to
comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross
income of the interest.
Section 13. PROCEDURES TO MONITOR COMPLIANCE WITH TAX
COVENANTS. The City hereby adopts the procedures attached hereto as Exhibit B as a means
of monitoring compliance with the federal tax covenants made by the City herein.
Section 14. CUSTODY, APPROVAL, AND REGISTRATION OF CERTIFICATES.
That the Mayor of the City is hereby authorized to have control of the Certificates initially issued
and delivered hereunder and all necessary records and proceedings pertaining to the Certificates
pending their delivery and their investigation, examination, and approval by the Attorney
General of the State of Texas, and their registration by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the
State of Texas. Upon registration of the Certificates said Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a
deputy designated in writing to act for said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's
Registration Certificate attached to such Certificates, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be
impressed, or placed in facsimile, on such certificate. The Certificates thus registered shall
remain in the custody of the Mayor (or the designee thereof such as the City’s Bond Counsel)
until delivered to the Purchaser (as defined in Section 18 of this Ordinance).
Section 15. DTC REGISTRATION. That the Certificates initially shall be issued and
delivered in such manner that no physical distribution of the Certificates will be made to the
public, and The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, initially will act as
depository for the Certificates. DTC has represented that it is a limited purpose trust company
incorporated under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System,
a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a
"clearing agency" registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the City accepts, but in no way verifies, such representations. The Certificates
initially authorized by this Ordinance shall be delivered to and registered in the name of CEDE
& CO., the nominee of DTC. It is expected that DTC will hold the Certificates on behalf of the
Purchaser and its participants. So long as each Certificate is registered in the name of CEDE &
CO., the Paying Agent/Registrar shall treat and deal with DTC the same in all respects as if it
were the actual and beneficial owner thereof. It is expected that DTC will maintain a book-entry
system which will identify ownership of the Certificates in Authorized Denominations, with
transfers of ownership being effected on the records of DTC and its participants pursuant to rules
and regulations established by them, and that the Certificates initially deposited with DTC shall
be immobilized and not be further exchanged for substitute Certificates except as hereinafter
provided. The City is not responsible or liable for any functions of DTC, will not be responsible
Page 61 of 159
13
for paying any fees or charges with respect to its services, will not be responsible or liable for
maintaining, supervising, or reviewing the records of DTC or its participants, or protecting any
interests or rights of the beneficial owners of the Certificates. It shall be the duty of the DTC
Participants, as defined in the Official Statement herein approved, to make all arrangements with
DTC to establish this book-entry system, the beneficial ownership of the Certificates, and the
method of paying the fees and charges of DTC. The City does not represent, nor does it in any
way covenant that the initial book-entry system established with DTC will be maintained in the
future. Notwithstanding the initial establishment of the foregoing book-entry system with DTC,
if for any reason any of the originally delivered Certificates is duly filed with the Paying
Agent/Registrar with proper request for transfer and substitution, as provided for in this
Ordinance, substitute Certificates will be duly delivered as provided in this Ordinance, and there
will be no assurance or representation that any book-entry system will be maintained for such
Certificates. In connection with the initial establishment of the foregoing book-entry system
with DTC, the City heretofore has executed a "Blanket Letter of Representations" prepared by
DTC in order to implement the book-entry system described above.

such subsection.
(c) Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments.
(i) The City shall be obligated to observe and perform the covenants specified
in this Section for so long as, but only for so long as, the City remains an "obligated
person" with respect to the Certificates within the meaning of the Rule, except that the
City in any event will give notice of any deposit made in accordance with this Ordinance
or applicable law that causes Certificates no longer to be outstanding.
(ii) The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the registered
owners and beneficial owners of the Certificates, and nothing in this Section, express or
implied, shall give any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder
to any other person. The City undertakes to provide only the financial information,
operating data, financial statements, and notices which it has expressly agreed to provide
pursuant to this Section and does not hereby undertake to provide any other information
that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of the City's financial results,
condition, or prospects or hereby undertake to update any information provided in
accordance with this Section or otherwise, except as expressly provided herein. The City
does not make any representation or warranty concerning such information or its

(iii) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL THE CITY BE LIABLE TO
THE REGISTERED OWNER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY CERTIFICATE
Page 64 of 159
16
OR ANY OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR DAMAGES
RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE CITY,
WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY
COVENANT SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, BUT EVERY RIGHT AND REMEDY
OF ANY SUCH PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR OR ON ACCOUNT OF
ANY SUCH BREACH SHALL BE LIMITED TO AN ACTION FOR MANDAMUS
OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.
(iv) No default by the City in observing or performing its obligations under
this Section shall comprise a breach of or default under this Ordinance for purposes of
any other provision of this Ordinance. Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to
disclaim, waive, or otherwise limit the duties of the City under federal and state securities
laws.
(v) Should the Rule be amended to obligate the City to make filings with or
provide notices to entities other than the MSRB, the City hereby agrees to undertake such
obligation with respect to the Certificates in accordance with the Rule as amended. The
provisions of this Section may be amended by the City from time to time to adapt to
changed circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements, a change in law, or
a change in the identity, nature, status, or type of operations of the City, but only if (1) the
provisions of this Section, as so amended, would have permitted an underwriter to
purchase or sell Certificates in the primary offering of the Certificates in compliance with
the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule since such
offering as well as such changed circumstances and (2) either (a) the registered owners of
a majority in aggregate principal amount (or any greater amount required by any other
provision of this Ordinance that authorizes such an amendment) of the outstanding
Certificates consent to such amendment or (b) a person that is unaffiliated with the City
(such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determined that such amendment will not
materially impair the interest of the registered owners and beneficial owners of the
Certificates. If the City so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include with any
amended financial information or operating data next provided in accordance with
subsection (b) of this Section an explanation, in narrative form, of the reason for the
amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of financial information or
operating data so provided. The City may also amend or repeal the provisions of this
continuing disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable provision of
the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that such provisions of the Rule
are invalid, but only if and to the extent that the provisions of this sentence would not
prevent an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Certificates in the primary
offering of the Certificates.
(d) Procedures to Monitor Compliance with Continuing Disclosure Covenants. The
City hereby adopts the procedures attached hereto as Exhibit B as a means of monitoring
compliance with the continuing disclosure covenants made by the City herein.
Section 17. DEFEASANCE.
Page 65 of 159
17
(a) Deemed Paid. Any Certificate and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be
paid, retired and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased Certificate") within the meaning of this
Ordinance, except to the extent provided in subsection (e) of this Section, when payment of the
principal of such Certificate, plus interest thereon to the due date (whether such due date be by
reason of maturity or otherwise) either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in
accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such due date
by irrevocably depositing with or making available to the Paying Agent/Registrar in accordance
with an escrow agreement or other instrument (the "Future Escrow Agreement") for such
payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to make such payment or
(2) Defeasance Securities that mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such
times as will insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide for
such payment, and when proper arrangements have been made by the City with the Paying
Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased Certificates shall have become
due and payable. At such time as a Certificate shall be deemed to be a Defeased Certificate
hereunder, as aforesaid, such Certificate and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by,
payable from, or entitled to the benefits of, the ad valorem taxes herein levied and pledged or the
pledge of Surplus Revenues as provided in this Ordinance, and such principal and interest shall
be payable solely from such money or Defeasance Securities.
(b) Investments. Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar may at
the written direction of the City be invested in Defeasance Securities, maturing in the amounts
and times as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from such Defeasance Securities received by
the Paying Agent/Registrar that is not required for the payment of the Certificates and interest
thereon, with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be turned over to the
City, or deposited as directed in writing by the City. Any Future Escrow Agreement pursuant to
which the money and/or Defeasance Securities are held for the payment of Defeased Certificates
may contain provisions permitting the investment or reinvestment of such moneys in Defeasance
Securities or the substitution of other Defeasance Securities upon the satisfaction of the
requirements specified in subsection (a)(i) or (ii) above. All income from such Defeasance
Securities received by the Paying Agent/Registrar which is not required for the payment of the
Defeased Securities, with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be remitted
to the City or deposited as directed in writing by the City.
(c) Selection of Defeased Certificates. In the event that the City elects to defease less
than all of the principal amount of Certificates of a maturity, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall
select, or cause to be selected, such amount of Certificates by such random method as it deems
fair and appropriate.
(d) Defeasance Securities. The term "Defeasance Securities" means (i) direct,
noncallable obligations of the United States of America, including obligations that are
unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, (ii) noncallable obligations of an
agency or instrumentality of the United States, including obligations that are unconditionally
guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that, on the date the governing body
of the City adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the issuance of refunding bonds, are
rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than
AAA or its equivalent; (iii) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a county,
municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that, on the
Page 66 of 159
18
date the governing body of the City adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the issuance
of refunding bonds, are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment
rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent and (iv) any securities and obligations now or
hereafter authorized by State law that are eligible to refund, retire or otherwise discharge
obligations such as the Certificates.
(e) Continuing Duty of Paying Agent/Registrar. Until all Certificates defeased under
this Section of this Ordinance shall become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar for
such Certificates shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Certificates the
same as if they had not been defeased, and the City shall make proper arrangements to provide
and pay for such services.
(f) The Pricing Officer is hereby authorized to modify the securities that are eligible
as Defeasance Securities and any such modification shall described in the Pricing Certificate.
Section 18. SALE OF CERTIFICATES; OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
(a) The Certificates may be sold by public offering (either through a negotiated or
competitive offering) and the terms and provisions of which are to be determined by the Pricing
Officer in accordance with Section 2 hereof, and in which the purchasers of the Certificates are
designated. The Certificates may be sold pursuant to a purchase agreement or notice of sale and
bidding instructions (collectively, the "Purchase Agreement") which the Pricing Officer is
hereby authorized to execute and deliver and in which the Purchaser of the Certificates shall be
designated. The Certificates shall initially be registered in the name of the Purchaser thereof as
set forth in the Pricing Certificate.
(b) The City hereby approves the form and content of the draft preliminary official
statement relating to the Certificates in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and any addenda,
supplement or amendment thereto, and deems final the preliminary official statement and
approves the distribution of such preliminary official statement in the reoffering of the
Certificates by the Purchaser, with such changes therein or additions thereto as the Pricing
Officer executing the same may deem advisable or as are required by the Rule. The Pricing
Officer is hereby authorized, in the name and on behalf of the City, to approve, distribute, and
deliver a final preliminary official statement and a final official statement relating to the
Certificates to be used by the Purchaser in the marketing of the Certificates.
(c) The Pricing Officer is authorized, in connection with effecting the sale of the
Certificates, to obtain from a municipal bond insurance company so designated in the Pricing
Certificate (the "Insurer") a municipal bond insurance policy (the "Insurance Policy") in support
of the Certificates. To that end, should the Pricing Officer exercise such authority and commit
the City to obtain a municipal bond insurance policy, for so long as the Insurance Policy is in
effect, the requirements of the Insurer relating to the issuance of the Insurance Policy are
incorporated by reference into this Ordinance and made a part hereof for all purposes,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary. The Pricing Officer shall
have the authority to execute any documents to effect the issuance of the Insurance Policy by the
Insurer.

instruments, whether or not herein mentioned, as may be necessary or desirable in order to carry
out the terms and provisions of this Ordinance, the Certificates, the sale of the Certificates, the
Purchase Agreement and the Official Statement. In case any officer whose signature shall
appear on any Certificate shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Certificate,
such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such
officer had remained in office until such delivery.
Section 19. FURTHER PROCEDURES. That the Mayor, the City Secretary, the City
Manager, the Assistant City Manager/CFO, and Director of Finance, shall be and they are hereby
expressly authorized, empowered, and directed from time to time and at any time to do and
perform all such acts and things and to execute, acknowledge, and deliver in the name and under
the corporate seal and on behalf of the City all such instruments, whether or not herein
mentioned, as may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this
Ordinance, and the sale and delivery of the Certificates and fixing all details in connection
therewith. The City Council hereby authorizes the payment of the fee of the Office of the

Section 1202.004, Texas Government Code.
Section 20. CONSTRUCTION FUND; USE OF PROCEEDS.
(a) The City hereby creates and establishes and shall maintain on the books of the
City a separate fund to be entitled the "Series 2021 Certificates of Obligation Construction Fund"
(the "Construction Fund") for use by the City for payment of all lawful costs associated with the
acquisition and construction of the projects as provided in Section 1.
(b) The proceeds from the sale of the Certificates shall be deposited, on the date of
closing, in the manner described in a letter of instructions prepared by the City or on behalf of
the City by the City's financial advisor. The foregoing notwithstanding, any proceeds
representing accrued interest on the Certificates shall be deposited to the credit of the Interest
and Sinking Fund.
Section 21. INTEREST EARNINGS. That the interest earnings derived from the
investment of proceeds from the sale of the Certificates may be used along with other proceeds
for the construction of the permanent improvements set forth in Section 1 hereof for which the
Certificates are issued; provided that after completion of such permanent improvements, if any of
such interest earnings remain on hand, such interest earnings shall be deposited in the Interest
and Sinking Fund. It is further provided, however, that any interest earnings on proceeds which
are required to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to this Ordinance hereof in
order to prevent the Certificates from being arbitrage bonds shall be so rebated and not
considered as interest earnings for the purposes of this Section.

(a) Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences or events for the purpose of
this Ordinance is hereby declared to be an Event of Default:
(i) the failure to make payment of the principal of or interest on any of the
Certificates when the same becomes due and payable; or
(ii) default in the performance or observance of any other covenant,
agreement or obligation of the City, the failure to perform which materially, adversely
affects the rights of the registered owners of the Certificates, including, but not limited to,
their prospect or ability to be repaid in accordance with this Ordinance, and the
continuation thereof for a period of 60 days after notice of such default is given by any
registered owner to the City.

registered owner or an authorized representative thereof, including, but not limited to, a
trustee or trustees therefor, may proceed against the City, or any official, officer or
employee of the City in their official capacity, for the purpose of protecting and enforcing
the rights of the registered owners under this Ordinance, by mandamus or other suit,
action or special proceeding in equity or at law, in any court of competent jurisdiction,
for any relief permitted by law, including the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement contained herein, or thereby to enjoin any act or thing that may be unlawful or
in violation of any right of the registered owners hereunder or any combination of such
remedies.
(ii) It is provided that all such proceedings shall be instituted and maintained
for the equal benefit of all registered owners of Certificates then outstanding.
(c) Remedies Not Exclusive.
(i) No remedy herein conferred or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any
other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative
and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Certificates
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity; provided, however, that notwithstanding
any other provision of this Ordinance, the right to accelerate the debt evidenced by the
Certificates shall not be available as a remedy under this Ordinance.
(ii) The exercise of any remedy herein conferred or reserved shall not be
deemed a waiver of any other available remedy.
(iii) By accepting the delivery of a Certificate authorized under this Ordinance,
such registered owner agrees that the certifications required to effectuate any covenants
or representations contained in this Ordinance do not and shall never constitute or give
rise to a personal or pecuniary liability or charge against the officers, employees or
members of the City or the City Council.
Page 69 of 159
21
(iv) None of the members of the City Council, nor any other official or officer,
agent, or employee of the City, shall be charged personally by the registered owners with
any liability, or be held personally liable to the registered owners under any term or
provision of this Ordinance, or because of any Event of Default or alleged Event of
Default under this Ordinance.
Section 23. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
(a) Preamble. The preamble to this Ordinance is incorporated by reference and made
a part hereof for all purposes.
(b) Titles Not Restrictive. That the titles assigned to the various sections of this
Ordinance are for convenience only and shall not be considered restrictive of the subject matter
of any section or of any part of this Ordinance.
(c) Rules of Construction. The words "herein", "hereof" and "hereunder" and other
words of similar import refer to this Ordinance as a whole and not to any particular section or
other subdivision. Except where the context otherwise requires, terms defined in this Ordinance
to impart the singular number shall be considered to include the plural number and vice versa.
References to any named person means that party and its successors and assigns. References to
any constitutional, statutory or regulatory provision means such provision as it exists on the date
this Ordinance is adopted by the City and any future amendments thereto or successor provisions
thereof. Any reference to "FORM OF CERTIFICATE" shall refer to the form of the Certificates
set forth in Exhibit A to this Ordinance. Any reference to the payment of principal in this
Ordinance shall be deemed to include the payment of any mandatory sinking fund redemption
payments as may be described herein.
(d) Inconsistent Provisions. All ordinances, orders and resolutions, or parts thereof,
which are in conflict or inconsistent with any provision of this Ordinance are hereby repealed
and declared to be inapplicable, and the provisions of this Ordinance shall be and remain
controlling as to the matters prescribed herein.
(e) Severability. If any word, phrase, clause, paragraph, sentence, part, portion, or
provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be held
to be invalid, the remainder of this Ordinance shall nevertheless be valid and the City hereby
declares that this Ordinance would have been enacted without such invalid word, phrase, clause,
paragraph, sentence, part, portion, or provisions.
(f) Governing Law. This Ordinance shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the State of Texas.
(g) Open Meeting. The City officially finds and determines that the meeting at which
this Ordinance is adopted was open to the public; and that public notice of the time, place, and
purpose of such meeting was given, all as required by Chapter 551, Texas Government Code.
(h) Application of Chapter 1208, Government Code. Chapter 1208, Texas
Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Certificates and the pledge of ad valorem taxes
and the Surplus Revenues granted by the City under Section 6(b), and such pledge is therefore
Page 70 of 159
22
valid, effective, and perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the Certificates are
outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge of the ad valorem taxes and Surplus Revenues
granted by the City is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Texas Business &
Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the Registered Owners of the Certificates the
perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the City agrees to take such measures as it
determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable
provisions of Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing to perfect the
security interest in said pledge to occur.
(i) Immediate Effect. In accordance with the provisions of Section 1201.028, Texas
Government Code, this Ordinance shall be effective immediately upon its adoption by the City
Council.

ON FEBRUARY 15, 20[], or on any date thereafter, the Certificates of this Series
maturing on February 15, 20[] and thereafter may be redeemed prior to their scheduled
maturities, at the option of the City, in whole, or in part, at par and accrued interest to the date
fixed for redemption. The years of maturity of the Certificates called for redemption at the
option of the City prior to their stated maturity shall be selected by the City. The Certificates or
portions thereof redeemed within a maturity shall be selected by lot or other method by the
Paying Agent/Registrar; provided, that during any period in which ownership of the Certificates
is determined only by a book entry at a securities depository for the Certificates, if fewer than all
of the Certificates of the same maturity and bearing the same interest rate are to be redeemed, the
particular Certificates of such maturity and bearing such interest rate shall be selected in
accordance with the arrangements between the City and the securities depository.
AT LEAST THIRTY days prior to the date fixed for any such redemption, a written
notice of such redemption shall be given to the registered owner of each Certificate or a portion
thereof being called for redemption by depositing such notice in the United States mail, first-
class postage prepaid, addressed to each such registered owner at his address shown on the
Registration Books of the Paying Agent/Registrar. By the date fixed for any such redemption
due provision shall be made by the City with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the
required redemption price for this Certificate or the portion hereof which is to be so redeemed,
plus accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption. If such notice of redemption is
given, and if due provision for such payment is made, all as provided above, this Certificate, or
the portion hereof which is to be so redeemed, thereby automatically shall be redeemed prior to
its scheduled maturity, and shall not bear interest after the date fixed for its redemption, and shall
not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the registered owner to receive the
redemption price plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption from the Paying
Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall
record in the Registration Books all such redemptions of principal of this Certificate or any
portion hereof. If a portion of any Certificate shall be redeemed a substitute Certificate or
Certificates having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate, in Authorized
Denominations, at the written request of the registered owner, and in aggregate principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion thereof, will be issued to the registered owner upon the
surrender thereof for cancellation, at the expense of the City, all as provided in the Ordinance.
IF AT THE TIME OF MAILING of notice of optional redemption there shall not have
either been deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar or legally authorized escrow agent
immediately available funds sufficient to redeem all the Certificates called for redemption, such
notice must state that it is conditional, and is subject to the deposit of the redemption moneys
with the Paying Agent/Registrar or legally authorized escrow agent at or prior to the redemption
date, and such notice shall be of no effect unless such moneys are so deposited on or prior to the
redemption date. If such redemption is not effectuated, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, within
five days thereafter, give notice in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given that
such moneys were not so received and shall rescind the redemption.
ALL CERTIFICATES OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully registered
certificates, without interest coupons, in Authorized Denominations. As provided in the
Certificate Ordinance, this Certificate may, at the request of the registered owner or the assignee
or assignees hereof, be assigned, transferred, and exchanged for a like aggregate principal
Page 75 of 159
A-4
amount of fully registered certificates, without interest coupons, payable to the appropriate
registered owner, assignee, or assignees, as the case may be, having the same maturity date, and
bearing interest at the same rate, in Authorized Denominations as requested in writing by the
appropriate registered owner, assignee, or assignees, as the case may be, upon surrender of this
Certificate to the Paying Agent/Registrar at its Designated Trust Office for cancellation, all in
accordance with the form and procedures set forth in the Certificate Ordinance. Among other
requirements for such assignment and transfer, this Certificate must be presented and
surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar at its Designated Trust Office, together with proper
instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, evidencing assignment of this Certificate or any portion or portions hereof in an
Authorized Denomination to the assignee or assignees in whose name or names this Certificate
or any such portion or portions hereof is or are to be transferred and registered. The form of
Assignment printed or endorsed on this Certificate may be executed by the registered owner to
evidence the assignment hereof, but such method is not exclusive, and other instruments of
assignment satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar may be used to evidence the assignment of
this Certificate or any portion or portions hereof from time to time by the registered owner. The
foregoing notwithstanding, in the case of the exchange of an assigned and transferred Certificate
or Certificates or any portion or portions thereof, such fees and charges of the Paying
Agent/Registrar will be paid by the City. The one requesting such exchange shall pay the Paying
Agent/Registrar’s reasonable standard or customary fees and charges for exchanging any
Certificate or portion thereof. In any circumstance, any taxes or governmental charges required
to be paid with respect thereto shall be paid by the one requesting such assignment, transfer, or
exchange as a condition precedent to the exercise of such privilege. In any circumstance, neither
the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required (1) to make any transfer or exchange
during a period beginning at the opening of business 30 days before the day of the first mailing
of a notice of redemption of Certificates and ending at the close of business on the day of such
mailing, or (2) to transfer or exchange any Certificates so selected for redemption when such
redemption is scheduled to occur within 45 calendar days.
WHENEVER the beneficial ownership of this Certificate is determined by a book entry
at a securities depository for the Certificates, the foregoing requirements of holding, delivering
or transferring this Certificate shall be modified to require the appropriate person or entity to
meet the requirements of the securities depository as to registering or transferring the book entry
to produce the same effect.
IN THE EVENT any Paying Agent/Registrar for the Certificates is changed by the City,
resigns, or otherwise ceases to act as such, the City has covenanted in the Certificate Ordinance
that it promptly will appoint a competent and legally qualified substitute therefor, and promptly
will cause written notice thereof to be mailed to the registered owners of the Certificates.
IT IS HEREBY certified, recited and covenanted that this Certificate has been duly and
validly authorized, issued, and delivered; that all acts, conditions, and things required or proper
to be performed, exist, and be done precedent to or in the authorization, issuance, and delivery of
this Certificate have been performed, existed, and been done in accordance with law; that this
Certificate is a direct obligation of said City, issued on the full faith and credit thereof; and that
in accordance with the terms of the Certificate Ordinance, annual ad valorem taxes sufficient to
provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of this Certificate, as such interest comes
Page 76 of 159
A-5
due and such principal matures, have been levied and ordered to be levied against all taxable
property in said City, and have been pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by
law; and that a limited pledge (not to exceed $1,000) of the Surplus Revenues from the operation
of the City’s combined municipal electric light and power, waterworks and sewer system
remaining after payment of all operation and maintenance expenses thereof and any other
obligations heretofore or hereafter incurred to which such revenues have been or shall be
encumbered by a lien on and pledge of such revenues superior to the lien on and pledge of such
revenues to the Certificates, have been pledged as additional security for the Certificates.
BY BECOMING the registered owner of this Certificate, the registered owner thereby
acknowledges all of the terms and provisions of the Certificate Ordinance, agrees to be bound by
such terms and provisions, acknowledges that the Certificate Ordinance is duly recorded and
available for inspection in the official minutes and records of the City, and agrees that the terms
and provisions of this Certificate and the Certificate Ordinance constitute a contract between
each registered owner hereof and the City.

EXHIBIT B
PROCEDURES REGARDING COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL TAX AND
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE COVENANTS
This Exhibit is intended to assist the City of College Station (the "City") in complying
with the federal income tax covenants and securities disclosure covenants as they apply to the
issuance of tax-exempt debt securities such as the certificates of obligations (the "Obligations").
These procedures should be read together with any federal tax certifications, bond covenants,
letters or memoranda from bond counsel and any attachments thereto (collectively, the "Closing
Documents"). Failure to comply with federal guidelines could have serious consequences for
investors, the City and its officials.
These procedures shall apply to the Obligations, until they are superseded by a change in
circumstances at which time the City's bond counsel will propose new procedures to be adopted.
I. FEDERAL TAX LAW
1. Arbitrage Compliance.
Arbitrage refers to the difference between the interest paid on tax-exempt Obligations and
the interest earned by investing the proceeds of tax-exempt Obligations in higher-yielding
investments. Such higher-yielding investments could take the form of loans, securities, real
property, personal property, or other investments that could yield a profit to the City. Federal
income tax laws generally restrict the ability to earn arbitrage utilizing the proceeds of tax-
exempt Obligations. Generally, any profit from investing Obligation proceeds at a yield above
the yield paid on the Obligations belongs to the federal government and must be rebated to the
federal government. If the City fails to comply federal tax guidelines, Obligations could be
deemed to be “arbitrage bonds” by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), which would
expose the City to monetary liability from the City’s investors.
The arbitrage yield on the Obligations is set forth on the IRS Form 8038-G.
The Assistant City Manager/CFO and the City Treasurer (including such other employees
of the City who report to such officers) (collectively, the "Responsible Person") will review the
Closing Documents periodically (at least once a year) to ascertain if an exception to arbitrage
compliance applies.
a. Procedures applicable to the Obligation. The Responsible Person shall undertake
the following procedures.
Page 80 of 159
B-2
i. If the City plans to spend funds currently on hand for a future project with
the intent to later repay such funds from a debt issue, the Responsible
Person shall contact Bond Counsel to obtain advice regarding a
reimbursement resolution. The Responsible Person shall maintain any
official action of the City (such as a reimbursement resolution) stating the
City's intent to reimburse with the proceeds of the Obligations any amount
expended prior to the Issue Date for the acquisition, renovation or
construction of the Project.
ii. The Responsible Person shall ensure that the applicable information return
(e.g., U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form 8038-G, 8038-GC, or
any successor forms) is timely filed with the IRS.
iii. If proceeds of the Obligations are to be invested in interest-earning
investments, assure that, unless excepted from rebate and yield restriction
under section 148(f) of the Code, excess investment earnings are
computed and paid to the U.S. government at such time and in such
manner as directed by the IRS (i) at least every 5 years after the Issue Date
and (ii) within 30 days after the date the Obligations are retired. If
proceeds of the Obligations are to be invested in interest-earning
investments, the Responsible Person should contact the City's arbitrage
consultant regarding such matters.
iv. The Responsible Person shall monitor all amounts deposited into a sinking
fund or funds pledged (directly or indirectly) to the payment of the
Obligations, such as the Interest and Sinking Fund (the "I&S Fund"), to
assure that the maximum amount invested within such applicable fund at a
yield higher than the yield on the Obligations does not exceed an amount
equal to the debt service on the Obligations in the succeeding 12 month
period plus a carryover amount equal to one-twelfth of the principal and
interest payable on the Obligations for the immediately preceding 12-
month period.
NOTE: the purpose of the I&S Fund is to achieve a proper
matching of revenues with principal and interest payments within
each fiscal year. The I&S Fund should be used a mechanism for
payment of current debt service and not as a long-term investment
fund for debt service many years in the future.
v. The Responsible Person shall ensure that no more than 50% of the
proceeds of the Obligations are invested in an investment with a
guaranteed yield for 4 years or more.
b. With respect to the investment and expenditure of the proceeds of the Obligations
that are issued to finance public improvements or to acquire land or personal
property, the Responsible Person shall undertake the following.
Page 81 of 159
B-3
i. The Responsible Person shall instruct the persons who are primarily
responsible for the construction, renovation or acquisition of the facilities
financed with Obligations (the “Project”) that the Project must (i) proceed
with due diligence toward completion and that (ii) binding contracts for
the expenditure of at least 5% of the proceeds of the Obligations will be
entered into within six (6) months of the date of closing of the Obligations
(the “Issue Date”). The Responsible Person shall monitor that the above
requirements are satisfied.
ii. The Responsible Person shall monitor that at least 85% of the proceeds of
the Obligations to be used for the construction, renovation or acquisition
of the Project are expended within three years of the Issue Date.
iii. The Responsible Person shall monitor investment of proceeds of the
Obligations and restrict the yield of the investments to the yield on the
Obligations after three years of the Issue Date.
iv. To the extent that there are any unspent proceeds of the Obligations at the
time the Obligations are later refunded, or if there are unspent proceeds of
the Obligations that are being refunded by a new issuance of Obligations,
the Responsible Person shall continue monitoring the expenditure of such
unspent proceeds to ensure compliance with federal tax law with respect
to both the refunded Obligations and any Obligations being issued for
refunding purposes, and shall contact Bond Counsel as necessary.
c. Procedures applicable to Escrow Accounts for the Obligations. In addition to the
foregoing, with respect to the proceeds of the Obligations deposited to the escrow
fund to be administered pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement, the
Responsible Person shall undertake the following.
i. The Responsible Person shall review invoices, reports and other
notifications from the escrow agent to ensure compliance with the
applicable provisions of the escrow agreement, including with respect to
reinvestment of cash balances.
ii. The Responsible Person shall contact the escrow agent on the date of
redemption of obligations being refunded to ensure that they were
redeemed.
iii. The Responsible Person shall monitor any unspent proceeds of the
refunded obligations to ensure that the yield on any investments applicable
to such proceeds are invested at the yield on the applicable obligations or
otherwise applied (see Closing Documents).

B. Private Business Use.
Generally, the proceeds of tax-exempt Obligations may not inure to the benefit of entities
other than state or local governments (“private business use”). Private business use occurs
whenever Obligation proceeds are used to benefit any entity other than a state or local
government, including nonprofit corporations and the federal government.
A series of Obligations may lose their tax-exempt status if: (i) more than 10% of the
proceeds of the Obligations are to be used for any private business use and the payment of the
principal or interest on more than 10% of the proceeds of the Obligations is secured by or
payable from property used for a private business use, or (ii) the amount of proceeds of the
Obligations used to make loans to borrowers other than state and local governments exceeds the
lesser of 5% of the proceeds or $15 million.
With respect to the use of the facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the
Obligations, the Responsible Person shall undertake the following to ensure the Obligations do
not violate private business use tests.
a. The Responsible Person shall develop procedures or a “tracking system” to
identify, log and record all property financed with tax-exempt debt and identify
the issue of Obligations used to finance such property.
b. The Responsible Person shall monitor and record the date on which the Project is
substantially complete and available to be used for the purpose intended.
c. The Responsible Person shall monitor and record whether, at any time the
Obligations are outstanding, any person, other than the City, the employees of the
City, the agents of the City or members of the general public has any contractual
right (such as a lease, research contract, naming rights agreement, purchase
contract, management agreement or other service agreement) with respect to any
portion of the Project.
d. Before entering into any private business use arrangement that involves the use of
the Project, the Responsible Person must obtain a description of the proposed
private business use arrangement and determine whether such arrangement, if put
into effect, will be consistent with the restrictions on private business use of the
Project. In connection with the evaluation of any proposed private business use
arrangement, the Responsible Person should consult with Bond Counsel to
discuss whether such arrangement, if put into effect, will be consistent with the
restrictions on private business use of the Project, and, if not, whether any
“remedial action” permitted under federal guidelines may be taken as a means of
enabling such private business use without adversely affecting the tax-exempt
status of the Obligations.
e. The Responsible Person shall monitor and record whether, at any time the
Obligations are outstanding, any person, other than the City, the employees of the
Page 83 of 159
B-5
City, the agents of the City or members of the general public has a right to use the
output of the Project (e.g., water, gas, electricity, capacity) on any basis other than
standard rates and charges.
f. The Responsible Person shall monitor and record whether, at any time the
Obligations are outstanding, any person, other than the City, has a naming right
for the Project or any other contractual right granting an intangible benefit.
g. Prior to any sale of property owned by the City (real or personal), the Responsible
Person must confirm whether such property was financed with tax-exempt debt,
and if so, determine whether the proposed disposition of the property could
impact the tax-exempt status of the series of Obligations that financed the
acquisition of such property.
h. The Responsible Person shall take any action necessary to remediate any failure
to maintain compliance with the covenants contained in the ordinance authorizing
the issuance of the applicable series of Obligations.
C. Record Retention.
The Responsible Person will maintain or cause to be maintained all records relating to the
investment and expenditure of the proceeds of the Obligations and the use of the Project financed
or refinanced thereby for a period ending three (3) years after the complete extinguishment of the
Obligations. If any portion of the Obligations is refunded with the proceeds of another series of
Obligations, such records shall be maintained until the three (3) years after the refunding
Obligations mature or are otherwise paid off. Such records can be maintained in paper or
electronic format.
For purposes of these procedures, the Memorandum of Bond Counsel dated December 1,
2011 styled "Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations for Record Retention – Record
Management Program and Periodic Compliance Review" in incorporated herein and should be
reviewed periodically, at least once per year, by the Responsible Person.
D. Responsible Person & Continuity.
Each Responsible Person shall receive appropriate training regarding the City’s
accounting system, contract intake system, facilities management and other systems necessary to
track the investment and expenditure of the proceeds and the use of the facilities financed with
the proceeds of the Obligations. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Responsible Person is
authorized and instructed to retain such experienced advisors and agents as may be necessary to
carry out the purposes of these instructions.
Prior to cessation of employment with the City, the Responsible Person should identify
their successor to maintain compliance with these procedures.

complete within 12 months after any such fiscal year end, then the City will file unaudited
financial statements within such 12 month period and audited financial statements for the
applicable fiscal year, when and if the audit report on such statements becomes available.
The Responsible Person must compile, prepare and make such filings within the required
time, or, alternatively, contract with a third-party, such as the City’s financial advisor, to make
such filings on the City’s behalf.

such an action or the termination of a definitive agreement relating to any such
actions, other than pursuant to its terms, if material;
(14) Appointment of a successor or additional paying agent or the change of name of a
paying agent, if material;
(15) Incurrence of a Financial Obligation of the City, if material, or agreement to
covenants, events of default, remedies, priority rights, or other similar terms of a
Financial Obligation of the City, any of which affect bondholders, if material;
(16) Default, event of acceleration, termination event, modification of terms, or other
similar events under the terms of a Financial Obligation of the City, any of which
reflect financial difficulties; and

OFFICIAL STATEMENT SUMMARY
This summary is subject in all respects to the more complete information and definitions contained or incorporated in this Official Statement.
The offering of the Certificates to potential investors is made only by means of this entire Official Statement. No person is authorized to
detach this summary from this Official Statement or to otherwise use it without the entire Official Statement.
THE CITY ............................. The City of College Station, Texas (the “City”) is a political subdivision and a home-rule city of the State,
located in Brazos County, Texas. The City covers approximately 51.6 square miles (see “INTRODUCTION -
Description of The City”).
THE CERTIFICATES ............. The Certificates are issued as $63,270,000* City of College Station, Texas Certificates of Obligation, Series
2021. The Certificates are issued as serial certificates maturing on February 15 in each of the years 2021-2041,
inclusive (see “THE CERTIFICATES - General Description”). If two or more serial maturities of the
Certificates are grouped into a single maturity (the “Term Certificates”) by the Initial Purchaser, such Term
Certificates will be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption in accordance with applicable provisions of
the Ordinance.
PAYMENT OF INTEREST ...... Interest on the Certificates will accrue from the date of delivery, and will be payable February 15 and August
15 of each year commencing February 15, 2022 until maturity or prior redemption and will be calculated on
the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months (see “THE CERTIFICATES - General
Description”).
AUTHORITY FOR ISSUANCE . The Certificates are issued pursuant to the general laws of the State, particularly Subchapter C of Chapter 271,
Texas Local Government Code, as amended; Chapter 1371, Texas Government Code as amended, and an
ordinance to be adopted in which the City Council delegates authority to certain authorized officials of the City
to finalize the pricing of the Certificates with the execution of a pricing certificate (such ordinance and pricing
certificate collectively referred to as the “Ordinance") (see “THE CERTIFICATES - Authority for Issuance).
SECURITY FOR THE
CERTIFICATES ..................... The Certificates constitute direct obligations of the City, secured by and payable from a combination of (i) the
levy and collection of an annual direct and continuing ad valorem tax, within the limits prescribed by law, on all
taxable property located within the City, and (ii) a subordinate lien on and pledge of $1,000 of the surplus revenues
derived from the City’s combined water, wastewater and electric utility system (see “THE CERTIFICATES -
Security and Source of Payment”).
Article XI, Section 5, of the Texas Constitution is applicable to the City, and limits its maximum ad valorem tax
rate to $2.50 per $100 Taxable Assessed Valuation for all City purposes. The Home-Rule Charter of the City
adopts the constitutionally authorized maximum tax rate of $2.50 per $100 Taxable Assessed Valuation.
REDEMPTION ....................... The City reserves the right, at its option, to redeem Certificates having stated maturities on and after February
15, 2031, in whole or in part in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, on February 15,
2030, or any date thereafter, at the par value thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption (see “THE
CERTIFICATES – Optional Redemption”). Additionally, the Certificates may be subject to mandatory
redemption in the event the Initial Purchaser elects to aggregate one or more maturities as a Term Certificate;
any aggregation of maturities into Term Certificates will be specified in the Official Statement. (See “THE
CERTIFICATES – Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption”).
TAX EXEMPTION .................. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the interest on the Certificates will be excludable from gross income for federal
income tax purposes under existing law. See “TAX MATTERS” for a discussion of the opinion of Bond Counsel
and Exhibit C.
USE OF PROCEEDS ............... Proceeds from the sale of the Certificates will be used for (i) streets and roads including related drainage,
landscaping, signalization, lighting, pedestrian improvements and signage related thereto; (ii) information
technology and communication equipment; (iii) government facilities and fleet vehicles; (iv) improvements
and extensions to the City's combined waterworks, sewer and electric systems including distribution,
transmission, system lines, lift stations, metering, wells, plant improvements, and acquisition of interests in
land for such purposes; and (v) professional services rendered in relation to such projects and the issuance costs
of the Certificates. (see “THE CERTIFICATES – Sources and Use of Proceeds”).
RATINGS ............................. The presently outstanding tax supported debt of the City are rated “Aa1” by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
(“Moody's”) and “AA+” by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC
business (“S&P”), without regard to credit enhancement (see “OTHER INFORMATION – Ratings”).
Applications have been made to Moody’s and S&P for contract ratings on the Certificates.

PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT
RELATING TO
CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
(a Home-Rule City located in Brazos County, Texas)
$63,270,000*
CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, SERIES 2021
INTRODUCTION
This Official Statement, which includes the cover pages and Appendices hereto, provides certain information regarding the issuance of the
$63,270,000* City of College Station, Texas Certificates of Obligation, Series 2021 (the “Certificates”. Capitalized terms used in this Official
Statement have the same meanings assigned to such terms in the Ordinance to be adopted by the City Council of the City on June 10, 2021.
There follows in this Official Statement descriptions of the Certificates and certain information regarding the City and its finances. All
descriptions of documents contained herein are only summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to each such document. Copies
of such documents may be obtained from the City's Financial Advisor, Hilltop Securities Inc., Houston, Texas.
Description of the City . . . The City is a political subdivision and municipal corporation of the State of Texas (the “State”), duly organized
and existing under the laws of the State, including the City's Home Rule Charter. The City was incorporated in October 1938, and first
adopted its Home-Rule Charter in October 1938, which was last amended in November 2018. The City operates under a Council/City
Manager form of government with a City Council comprised of the Mayor and six Council members. Some of the services that the City
provides are: public safety (police and fire protection), highways and streets, electric, water and sanitary sewer utilities, health and social
services, culture-recreation, public transportation, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administrative services. The 2010
Census population was 93,857 and the current estimated population of the City is 124,710. The City covers approximately 51.6 square miles.
THE CERTIFICATES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION . . . The Certificates will bear interest from the date of delivery to the Initial Purchaser, and mature on February 15
in each of the years and in the amounts shown on page 2 hereof. Interest on the Certificates will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months and will be payable February 15 and August 15 of each year commencing February 15, 2022 until
maturity or prior redemption. The definitive Certificates will be issued only in fully registered form in any integral multiple of $5,000 in
principal amount for any one maturity and will be initially registered and delivered only to Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust
Company, New York, New York (“DTC”) pursuant to the Book-Entry-Only System described herein. No physical delivery of the Certificates
will be made to the beneficial owners thereof. Principal of and interest on the Certificates will be payable by the Paying Agent/Registrar to
Cede & Co., which will make distribution of the amounts so paid to the participating members of DTC for subsequent payment to the
beneficial owners of the Certificates (see “Book-Entry-Only System”).
AUTHORITY FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CERTIFICATES. . . The Certificates are being issued pursuant to the Constitution and general laws of the
State of Texas, particularly Subchapter C of Chapter 271, Texas Local Government Code, as amended, Chapter 1371, Texas Government
Code, as amended and the Ordinance.
SECURITY AND SOURCE OF PAYMENT . . . The Certificates constitute direct obligations of the City payable from an annual direct and
continuing ad valorem tax levied against all taxable property within the City, within the limits prescribed by law. In addition, the Certificates
are additionally secured by and payable from a subordinate lien on and pledge of $1,000 of the surplus revenues of the City’s combined
water, wastewater and electric utility system.
TAX RATE LIMITATION . . . All taxable property within the City is subject to the assessment, levy and collection by the City of a continuing,
direct annual ad valorem tax sufficient to provide for the payment of principal of and interest on all ad valorem tax debt within the limits prescribed
by law. Article XI, Section 5, of the Texas Constitution is applicable to the City, and limits its maximum ad valorem tax rate to $2.50 per $100
Taxable Assessed Valuation for all City purposes. The Home-Rule Charter of the City adopts the constitutionally authorized maximum tax rate
of $2.50 per $100 Taxable Assessed Valuation. Administratively, the Attorney General of the State of Texas will permit allocation of $1.50 of
the $2.50 maximum tax rate for all debt service for obligations payable from annual ad valorem property taxes, as calculated at the time of
issuance.
* Preliminary, subject to change.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION . . . The City reserves the right, at its option, to redeem Certificates having stated maturities on and after February
15, 2031, in whole or in part in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, on February 15, 2030, or any date thereafter, at
the par value thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. If less than all of the Certificates are to be redeemed, the City shall
determine the Certificates, or portions thereof, within such maturity to be redeemed. If Certificates (or any portion of the principal sum
thereof) shall have been called for redemption and notice of such redemption shall have been given, such Certificates (or the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed) shall become due and payable on such redemption date and interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the
redemption date, provided funds for the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest thereon are held by the Paying Agent/Registrar
on the redemption date.
MANDATORY SINKING FUND REDEMPTION . . . In addition to the foregoing optional redemption provision, if principal amounts designated in
the serial maturity schedule shown on page 2 hereof are combined to create term certificates (the “Term Certificates”), each such Term Certificate
shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption commencing on February 15 of the first year which has been combined to form such Term
Certificate and continuing on February 15 in each year thereafter until the stated maturity date of that Term Certificate, and the amount required
to be redeemed in any year shall be equal to the principal amount for such year set forth in the Maturity Schedule herein.
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION . . . Not less than 30 days prior to a redemption date for the Certificates, the City shall cause a notice of redemption
to be sent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the registered owners of the Certificates to be redeemed, in whole or in part,
at the address of the registered owner appearing on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar. ANY NOTICE SO MAILED
SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED TO HAVE BEEN DULY GIVEN, WHETHER OR NOT THE REGISTERED OWNER
RECEIVES SUCH NOTICE. NOTICE HAVING BEEN SO GIVEN, THE CERTIFICATES CALLED FOR REDEMPTION SHALL
BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE ON THE SPECIFIED REDEMPTION DATE, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THAT ANY
CERTIFICATE OR PORTION THEREOF HAS NOT BEEN SURRENDERED FOR PAYMENT, INTEREST ON SUCH CERTIFICATE
OR PORTION THEREOF SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE.
With respect to any optional redemption of the Certificates, unless certain prerequisites to such redemption required by the Ordinance have
been met and moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates to be redeemed shall have been
received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice shall state that said redemption may, at
the option of the City, be conditional upon the satisfaction of such prerequisites and receipt of such moneys by the Paying Agent/Registrar
on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or upon any prerequisite set forth in such notice of redemption. If a conditional notice of
redemption is given and such prerequisites to the redemption and sufficient moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force and
effect, the City shall not redeem such Certificates and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of
redemption was given, to the effect that the Certificates have not been redeemed.
BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM . . . This section describes how ownership of the Certificates is to be transferred and how the principal of and
interest on the Certificates are to be paid to and credited by the DTC while the Certificates are registered in its nominee name. The
information in this section concerning DTC and the Book-Entry-Only System has been provided by DTC for use in disclosure documents
such as this Official Statement. The City, the Financial Advisor and the Initial Purchaser believe the source of such information to be
reliable, but take no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof.
The City, the Financial Advisor and the Initial Purchaser cannot and do not give any assurance that (1) DTC will distribute payments of debt
service on the Certificates, or redemption or other notices, to DTC Participants, (2) DTC Participants or others will distribute debt service
payments paid to DTC or its nominee (as the registered owner of the Certificates), or redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners,
or that they will do so on a timely basis, or (3) DTC will serve and act in the manner described in this Official Statement. The current rules
applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the current procedures of DTC to be followed in dealing
with DTC Participants are on file with DTC.
DTC will act as securities depository for the Certificates. The Certificates will be issued as fully-registered securities in the name of Cede &
Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered
certificate for each maturity will be issued for the Certificates, in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with
DTC.
DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking
organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within
the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity,
corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instrument from over 100 countries that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”)
deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in
deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates
the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers,
banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust
& Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation, and Fixed Income
Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the
DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing
corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect
Page 97 of 159
11
Participants”). Direct Participants and Indirect Participants are referred to collectively herein as “Participants”. DTC is rated AA+ by
Standard and Poor’s. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More
information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
Purchases of Certificates under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for such purchases
on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Certificates (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the
Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however,
expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the
Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Certificates are to be
accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive
certificates representing their ownership interests in the Certificates, except in the event that use of the book-entry system described herein
is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Certificates deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership
nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Certificates with
DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC
has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Certificates; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to
whose accounts such Certificates are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for
keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct
Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or
regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Certificates may wish to take certain steps to augment
the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Certificates, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed
amendments to the Certificate documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Certificates may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding
the Certificates for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may
wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Certificates within a maturity in the series are being redeemed, DTC’s practice
is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Certificates unless authorized by a Direct
Participant in accordance with DTC’s Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible
after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts
Certificates are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Payments on the Certificates will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of
DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the
City and the Paying Agent/Registrar, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by
Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for
the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC nor
its nominee, the Paying Agent/Registrar, or the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to
time. Payment of redemption proceeds, principal and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar. Disbursement of such payments to Direct
Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and reimbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of
Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Certificates at any time by giving reasonable notice to the City
and the Paying Agent/Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Certificates are required
to be printed and delivered.
The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event,
Certificates will be printed and delivered.
Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections of this Official Statement. In reading this Official Statement it should be understood that while the
Certificates are in the Book-Entry-Only System, references in other sections of this Official Statement to registered owners should be read to
include the person for which the Participant acquires an interest in the Certificates, but (i) all rights of ownership must be exercised through DTC
and the Book-Entry-Only System, and (ii) except as described above, notices that are to be given to registered owners under the Ordinance will
be given only to DTC.
Information concerning DTC and the Book-Entry System has been obtained from DTC and is not guaranteed as to accuracy or completeness by,
and is not to be construed as a representation by the City or the Initial Purchaser.

PAYING AGENT/REGISTRAR . . . The initial Paying Agent/Registrar is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas. In
the Ordinance, the City retains the right to replace the Paying Agent/Registrar. The City covenants to maintain and provide a Paying
Agent/Registrar at all times until the Certificates are duly paid and any successor Paying Agent/Registrar must be a bank, trust company, financial
institution, or other entity duly qualified and legally authorized to serve as and perform the duties and services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the
Certificates. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Certificates, the City will promptly cause a written notice thereof to be sent
to each registered owner of the Certificates by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, which notice will also include the address of the
new Paying Agent/Registrar.
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION . . . In the event the Book-Entry-Only System should be discontinued, the Certificates may be
transferred and exchanged on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar only upon presentation and surrender thereof to the Paying
Agent/Registrar and such transfer or exchange will be without expense or service charge to the registered owner, except for any tax or other
governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such registration, exchange and transfer. Certificates may be assigned by the execution
of an assignment form on the respective Certificates or by other instrument of transfer and assignment acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar.
New Certificates will be delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar, in lieu of the Certificates being transferred or exchanged, at the corporate trust
office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, or sent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the new registered owner or his designee. To
the extent possible, new Certificates issued in an exchange or transfer of Certificates will be delivered to the registered owner or assignee of the
registered owner in not more than three business days after the receipt of the Certificates to be canceled, and the written instrument of transfer
or request for exchange duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized agent, in form satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar.
New Certificates registered and delivered in an exchange or transfer will be in any integral multiple of $5,000 for any one maturity and for a like
aggregate principal amount as the Certificates surrendered for exchange or transfer. See “Book-Entry-Only System” herein for a description of
the system to be utilized initially in regard to ownership and transferability of the Certificates. Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar
will be required to transfer or exchange any Certificate called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45 days of the date fixed for redemption;
provided, however, such limitation of transfer will not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled balance of a
Certificate.
RECORD DATE FOR INTEREST PAYMENT . . . The record date (“Record Date”) for determining the person to whom the interest is payable on the
Certificate on any interest payment date means the close of business on the last business day of the preceding month.
In the event of a non-payment of interest on a scheduled payment date, and for 30 days thereafter, a new record date for such interest payment (a
“Special Record Date”) will be established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when funds for the payment of such interest have been received
from the City. Notice of the Special Record Date and of the scheduled payment date of the past due interest (a “Special Payment Date,” which
will be 15 days after the Special Record Date) will be sent at least five days prior to the Special Record Date by United States mail, first class,
postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder of a Certificate appearing on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of
business on the day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice.
DEFEASANCE . . . The Ordinance provides for the defeasance of the Certificates when the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on
the Certificates, plus interest thereon to the due date thereof (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, redemption, or otherwise), is
provided by irrevocably depositing with a paying agency, in trust (1) money sufficient to make such payment or (2) Defeasance Securities,
certified by an independent public accounting firm of national reputation to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times
to insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to make such payment, and all necessary and proper fees, compensation and
expenses of the paying agent for the Certificates. The Ordinance provides that “Defeasance Securities” means (a) direct, noncallable obligations
of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, (b) noncallable
obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured
by the agency or instrumentality and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA
or its equivalent, (c) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have
been refunded and that rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent and
(d) any securities and obligations now or hereafter authorized by Texas law that are eligible to refund, retire or otherwise discharge obligations
such as the Certificates. The City may modify or restrict the categories of eligible of Defeasance Securities to accommodate requests from the
Initial Purchaser The City has additionally reserved the right, subject to satisfying the requirement of (1) and (2) above, to substitute other
Defeasance Securities for the Defeasance Securities originally deposited, to reinvestment the uninvested moneys on deposit for such defeasance
and to withdraw for the benefit of the City moneys in excess of the amount required for such defeasance.
REMEDIES OF HOLDERS OF CERTIFICATES. . . The Ordinance establishes specific events of default with respect to the Certificates. If the City
defaults in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Certificates when due or the City defaults in the observance or performance of
any of the covenants, conditions, or obligations of the City, the failure to perform which materially, adversely affects the rights of the owners
of the Certificates including but not limited to, their prospect or ability to be repaid in accordance with the Ordinance, and the continuation
thereof for a period of 60 days after notice of such default is given by any owner to the City, the Ordinance provide that any registered owner
is entitled to seek a writ of mandamus from a court of proper jurisdiction requiring the City to make such payment or observe and perform
such covenants, obligations, or conditions. The issuance of a writ of mandamus may be sought if there is no other available remedy at law to
compel performance of the Certificates or the Ordinance and the City's obligations are not uncertain or disputed. Chapter 1371, Texas
Government code, which pertains to the issuance of public securities by issuers such as the City, permits the City to waive sovereign immunity
in the proceedings authorizing its bonds, but in connection with the issuance of the Certificates, the City has not waived sovereign immunity,
and therefore, holders may not be able to bring such a suit against the City for breach of the of Ordinance covenants in the absence of City
action. The issuance of a writ of mandamus is controlled by equitable principles, so rests with the discretion of the court, but may not be
arbitrarily refused. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Certificates in the event of default and, consequently, the remedy of mandamus
Page 99 of 159
13
may have to be relied upon from year to year. The Ordinance do not provide for the appointment of a trustee to represent the interest of the
holders of the Certificates upon any failure of the City to perform in accordance with the terms of the Ordinance, or upon any other condition
and accordingly all legal actions to enforce such remedies would have to undertaken of the initiative of, and be financed by, the registered
owners of the Certificates. On June 30, 2006, the Texas Supreme Court ruled in Tooke v. City of Mexia, 197 S.W.3d 325 (Tex. 2006) that a
waiver of sovereign immunity in a contractual dispute must be provided for by statute in “clear and unambiguous” language. Because it is
unclear whether the Texas legislature has effectively waived the City’s sovereign immunity from a suit for money damages, registered owners
of the Certificates may not be able to bring such a suit against City for breach of the of covenants contained in the Ordinance. Even if a
judgment against the City could be obtained, it could not be enforced by direct levy and execution against the City’s property. Further, the
registered owners cannot themselves foreclose on property within the City or sell property within the City to enforce the tax lien on taxable
property to pay the principal of and interest on the Certificates.
The City is eligible to seek relief from its creditors under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 9”). Although Chapter 9 provides
for the recognition of a security interest represented by a specifically pledged source of revenues, the pledge of ad valorem taxes in support
of a general obligation of a bankrupt entity is not specifically recognized as a security interest under Chapter 9. Chapter 9 also includes an
automatic stay provision that would prohibit, without Bankruptcy Court approval, the prosecution of any other legal action by creditors or
registered owners of the Certificates of an entity which has sought protection under Chapter 9. Therefore, should the City avail itself of
Chapter 9 protection from creditors, the ability to enforce would be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (which could require that
the action be heard in Bankruptcy Court instead of other federal or state court); and the Bankruptcy Code provides for broad discretionary
powers of a Bankruptcy Court in administering any proceeding brought before it. The opinion of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions
relative to the enforceability of the Certificates are qualified with respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors,
principles of sovereign immunity and by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion.

TAX INFORMATION
The following is a summary of certain provisions of State law as it relates to ad valorem taxation and is not intended to be complete.
Prospective investors are encouraged to review Title I of the Texas Tax Code, as amended (the “Property Tax Code”), for identification of
property subject to ad valorem taxation, property exempt or which may be exempted from ad valorem taxation if claimed, the appraisal of
property for ad valorem tax purposes, and the procedures and limitations applicable to the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes.
VALUATION OF TAXABLE PROPERTY . . . The Property Tax Code provides for countywide appraisal and equalization of taxable property
values and establishes in each county of the State an appraisal district and an appraisal review board (the “Appraisal Review Board”)
responsible for appraising property for all taxing units within the county. The appraisal of property within the City is the responsibility of the
Brazos Central Appraisal District (the “Appraisal District”). Except as generally described below, the Appraisal District is required to appraise
all property within the Appraisal District on the basis of 100% of its market value and is prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. In
determining market value of property, the Appraisal District is required to consider the cost method of appraisal, the income method of
appraisal and the market data comparison method of appraisal, and use the method the chief appraiser of the Appraisal District considers
most appropriate. The Property Tax Code requires appraisal districts to reappraise all property in its jurisdiction at least once every three (3)
years. A taxing unit may require annual review at its own expense, and is entitled to challenge the determination of appraised value of property
within the taxing unit by petition filed with the Appraisal Review Board.
State law requires the appraised value of an owner’s principal residence (“homestead” or “homesteads”) to be based solely on the property’s
value as a homestead, regardless of whether residential use is considered to be the highest and best use of the property. State law further
limits the appraised value of a homestead to the lesser of (1) the market value of the property or (2) 110% of the appraised value of the
property for the preceding tax year plus the market value of all new improvements to the property.
State law provides that eligible owners of both agricultural land and open-space land, including open-space land devoted to farm or ranch
purposes or open-space land devoted to timber production, may elect to have such property appraised for property taxation on the basis of its
productive capacity. The same land may not be qualified as both agricultural and open-space land.
Page 100 of 159
14
The appraisal values set by the Appraisal District are subject to review and change by the Appraisal Review Board. The appraisal rolls, as
approved by the Appraisal Review Board, are used by taxing units, such as the City, in establishing their tax rolls and tax rates (see “Tax
Information – City and Taxpayer Remedies”).
STATE MANDATED HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS . . . State law grants, with respect to each city in the State, various exemptions for disabled
veterans and their families, surviving spouses of members of the armed services killed in action, and surviving spouses of first responders
killed or fatally wounded in the line of duty.
LOCAL OPTION HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS . . . The governing body of a taxing unit, including a city, county, school district, or special
district, at its option may grant: (1) an exemption of up to 20% of the appraised value of all homesteads (but not less than $5,000) and (2) an
additional exemption of at least $3,000 of the appraised value of the homesteads of persons sixty-five (65) years of age or older and the
disabled. Each taxing unit decides if it will offer the local option homestead exemptions and at what percentage or dollar amount, as
applicable. The exemption described in (2), above, may be created, increased, decreased or repealed at an election called by the governing
body of a taxing unit upon presentment of a petition for such creation, increase, decrease, or repeal of at least 20% of the number of qualified
voters who voted in the preceding election of the taxing unit.
LOCAL OPTION FREEZE FOR THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED . . . The governing body of a county, municipality or junior college district may,
at its option, provide for a freeze on the total amount of ad valorem taxes levied on the homesteads of persons 65 years of age or older or of
disabled persons above the amount of tax imposed in the year such residence qualified for such exemption. Also, upon voter initiative, an
election may be held to determine by majority vote whether to establish such a freeze on ad valorem taxes. Once the freeze is established,
the total amount of taxes imposed on such homesteads cannot be increased except for certain improvements, and such freeze cannot be
repealed or rescinded.
PERSONAL PROPERTY . . . Tangible personal property (furniture, machinery, supplies, inventories, etc.) used in the “production of income”
is taxed based on the property’s market value. Taxable personal property includes income-producing equipment and inventory. Intangibles
such as goodwill, accounts receivable, and proprietary processes are not taxable. Tangible personal property not held or used for production
of income, such as household goods, automobiles or light trucks, and boats, is exempt from ad valorem taxation unless the governing body
of a taxing unit elects to tax such property.
FREEPORT AND GOODS-IN-TRANSIT EXEMPTIONS . . . Certain goods that are acquired in or imported into the State to be forwarded outside
the State, and are detained in the State for 175 days or less for the purpose of assembly, storage, manufacturing, processing or fabrication
(“Freeport Property”) are exempt from ad valorem taxation unless a taxing unit took official action to tax Freeport Property before April 1,
1990 and has not subsequently taken official action to exempt Freeport Property. Decisions to continue taxing Freeport Property may be
reversed in the future; decisions to exempt Freeport Property are not subject to reversal.
Certain goods that are acquired in or imported into the State to be forwarded to another location within or without the State, stored in a
location that is not owned by the owner of the goods and are transported to another location within or without the State within 175 days
(“Goods-in-Transit”), are generally exempt from ad valorem taxation; however, the Property Tax Code permits a taxing unit, on a local option
basis, to tax Goods-in-Transit if the taxing unit takes official action after conducting a public hearing, before January 1 of the first tax year
in which the taxing unit proposes to tax Goods-in-Transit. Goods-in-Transit and Freeport Property do not include oil, natural gas or petroleum
products, and Goods-in-Transit does not include aircraft or special inventories such as manufactured housing inventory, or a dealer’s motor
vehicle, boat, or heavy equipment inventory.
A taxpayer may receive only one of the Goods-in-Transit or Freeport Property exemptions for items of personal property.
OTHER EXEMPT PROPERTY . . . Other major categories of exempt property include property owned by the State or its political subdivisions
if used for public purposes, property exempt by federal law, property used for pollution control, farm products owned by producers, property
of nonprofit corporations used for scientific research or educational activities benefitting a college or university, designated historic sites,
solar and wind-powered energy devices, and certain classes of intangible personal property.
TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONES . . . A city or county, by petition of the landowners or by action of its governing body, may create
one or more tax increment reinvestment zones (“TIRZ”) within its boundaries. At the time of the creation of the TIRZ, a “base value” for the
real property in the TIRZ is established and the difference between any increase in the assessed valuation of taxable real property in the TIRZ
in excess of the base value is known as the “tax increment”. During the existence of the TIRZ, all or a portion of the taxes levied against the
tax increment by a city or county, and all other overlapping taxing units that elected to participate, are restricted to paying only planned
project and financing costs within the TIRZ and are not available for the payment of other obligations of such taxing units.
TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS . . . Taxing units may also enter into tax abatement agreements to encourage economic development. Under
the agreements, a property owner agrees to construct certain improvements on its property. The taxing unit, in turn, agrees not to levy a tax
on all or part of the increased value attributable to the improvements until the expiration of the agreement. The abatement agreement could
last for a period of up to 10 years. See “Tax Information – Tax Abatement Policy” for descriptions of the City’s tax abatement program.
For a discussion of how the various exemptions described above are applied by the City, see “Tax Information – City Application of Property
Tax Code” herein.

TEMPORARY EXEMPTION FOR QUALIFIED PROPERTY DAMAGED BY A DISASTER . . . The Property Tax Code entitles the owner of certain
qualified (i) tangible personal property used for the production of income, (ii) improvements to real property, and (iii) manufactured homes
located in an area declared by the governor to be a disaster area following a disaster and is at least 15 percent damaged by the disaster, as
determined by the chief appraiser, to an exemption from taxation of a portion of the appraised value of the property. The amount of the
exemption ranges from 15 percent to 100 percent based upon the damage assessment rating assigned by the chief appraiser. Except in
situations where the territory is declared a disaster on or after the date the taxing unit adopts a tax rate for the year in which the disaster
declaration is issued, the governing body of the taxing unit is not required to take any action in order for the taxpayer to be eligible for the
exemption. If a taxpayer qualifies for the exemption after the beginning of the tax year, the amount of the exemption is prorated based on the
number of days left in the tax year following the day on which the governor declares the area to be a disaster area. For more information on
the exemption, reference is made to Section 11.35 of the Property Tax Code.
On April 13, 2020, the Attorney General of Texas released his opinion that “a court would likely conclude that the Legislature intended to
limit the temporary tax exemption to apply to property physically harmed as a result of a declared disaster. Thus, purely economic, non-
physical damage to property caused by the COVID-19 disaster is not eligible for the temporary tax exemption provided by section 11.35 of
the Tax Code.” Tex. Att’y Gen. Op. No. KP-0299 (2020).
CITY AND TAXPAYER REMEDIES . . . Under certain circumstances, taxpayers and taxing units, including the City, may appeal the
determinations of the Appraisal District by timely initiating a protest with the Appraisal Review Board. Additionally, taxing units such as the
City may bring suit against the Appraisal District to compel compliance with the Property Tax Code.
Beginning in the 2021 tax year, owners of certain property with a taxable value in excess of the current year “minimum eligibility amount”,
as determined by the State Comptroller, and situated in a county with a population of one million or more, may protest the determinations of
an appraisal district directly to a three-member special panel of the appraisal review board, appointed by the chairman of the appraisal review
board, consisting of highly qualified professionals in the field of property tax appraisal. The minimum eligibility amount is set at $50 million
for the 2021 tax year, and is adjusted annually by the State Comptroller to reflect the inflation rate.
The Property Tax Code sets forth notice and hearing procedures for certain tax rate increases by the City and provides for taxpayer referenda
that could result in the repeal of certain tax increases (see “Tax Information – Public Hearing and Maintenance and Operations Tax Rate
Limitations”). The Property Tax Code also establishes a procedure for providing notice to property owners of reappraisals reflecting increased
property value, appraisals which are higher than renditions, and appraisals of property not previously on an appraisal roll.
LEVY AND COLLECTION OF TAXES . . . The City is responsible for the collection of its taxes, unless it elects to transfer such functions to
another governmental entity. Taxes are due October 1, or when billed, whichever comes later, and become delinquent after January 31 of the
following year. A delinquent tax incurs a penalty of six percent (6%) of the amount of the tax for the first calendar month it is delinquent,
plus one percent (1%) for each additional month or portion of a month the tax remains unpaid prior to July 1 of the year in which it becomes
delinquent. If the tax is not paid by July 1 of the year in which it becomes delinquent, the tax incurs a total penalty of twelve percent (12%)
regardless of the number of months the tax has been delinquent and incurs an additional penalty of up to twenty percent (20%) if imposed by
the City. The delinquent tax also accrues interest at a rate of one percent (1%) for each month or portion of a month it remains unpaid. The
Property Tax Code also makes provision for the split payment of taxes, discounts for early payment and the postponement of the delinquency
date of taxes for certain taxpayers. Furthermore, the City may provide, on a local option basis, for the split payment, partial payment, and
discounts for early payment of taxes under certain circumstances.
PUBLIC HEARING AND MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS TAX RATE LIMITATIONS . . . The following terms as used in this section have the
meanings provided below:
“adjusted” means lost values are not included in the calculation of the prior year’s taxes and new values are not included in the
current year’s taxable values.
“de minimis rate” means the maintenance and operations tax rate that will produce the prior year’s total maintenance and operations
tax levy (adjusted) from the current year’s values (adjusted), plus the rate that produces an additional $500,000 in tax revenue when
applied to the current year’s taxable value, plus the debt service tax rate.
“no-new-revenue tax rate” means the combined maintenance and operations tax rate and debt service tax rate that will produce the
prior year’s total tax levy (adjusted) from the current year’s total taxable values (adjusted).
“special taxing unit” means a city for which the maintenance and operations tax rate proposed for the current tax year is 2.5 cents
or less per $100 of taxable value.
“unused increment rate” means the cumulative difference between a city’s voter-approval tax rate and its actual tax rate for each
of the tax years 2021 through 2022, which may be applied to a city’s tax rate in tax years 2021 through 2023 without impacting the
voter-approval tax rate.
“voter-approval tax rate” means the maintenance and operations tax rate that will produce the prior year’s total maintenance and
operations tax levy (adjusted) from the current year’s values (adjusted) multiplied by 1.035, plus the debt service tax rate, plus the
“unused increment rate.”
Page 102 of 159
16
The City’s tax rate consists of two components: (1) a rate for funding of maintenance and operations expenditures in the current year (the
“maintenance and operations tax rate”), and (2) a rate for funding debt service in the current year (the “debt service tax rate”). Under State
law, the assessor for the City must submit an appraisal roll showing the total appraised, assessed, and taxable values of all property in the
City to the City Council by August 1 or as soon as practicable thereafter.
A city must annually calculate its “voter-approval tax rate” and “no-new-revenue tax rate” (as such terms are defined above) in accordance
with forms prescribed by the State Comptroller and provide notice of such rates to each owner of taxable property within the city and the
county tax assessor-collector for each county in which all or part of the city is located. A city must adopt a tax rate before the later of
September 30 or the 60th day after receipt of the certified appraisal roll, except that a tax rate that exceeds the voter-approval tax rate must
be adopted not later than the 71st day before the next occurring November uniform election date. If a city fails to timely adopt a tax rate, the
tax rate is statutorily set as the lower of the no-new-revenue tax rate for the current tax year or the tax rate adopted by the city for the preceding
tax year.
As described below, the Property Tax Code provides that if a city adopts a tax rate that exceeds its voter-approval tax rate or, in certain cases,
its “de minimis rate”, an election must be held to determine whether or not to reduce the adopted tax rate to the voter-approval tax rate.
A city may not adopt a tax rate that exceeds the lower of the voter-approval tax rate or the no-new-revenue tax rate until each appraisal district
in which such city participates has delivered notice to each taxpayer of the estimated total amount of property taxes owed and the city has
held a public hearing on the proposed tax increase.
For cities with a population of 30,000 or more as of the most recent federal decennial census, if the adopted tax rate for any tax year exceeds
the voter-approval tax rate, that city must conduct an election on the next occurring November uniform election date to determine whether
or not to reduce the adopted tax rate to the voter-approval tax rate.
For cities with a population less than 30,000 as of the most recent federal decennial census, if the adopted tax rate for any tax year exceeds
the greater of (i) the voter-approval tax rate or (ii) the de minimis rate, the city must conduct an election on the next occurring November
uniform election date to determine whether or not to reduce the adopted tax rate to the voter-approval tax rate. However, for any tax year
during which a city has a population of less than 30,000 as of the most recent federal decennial census and does not qualify as a special taxing
unit, if a city’s adopted tax rate is equal to or less than the de minimis rate but greater than both (a) the no-new-revenue tax rate, multiplied
by 1.08, plus the debt service tax rate or (b) the city’s voter-approval tax rate, then a valid petition signed by at least three percent of the
registered voters in the city would require that an election be held to determine whether or not to reduce the adopted tax rate to the voter-
approval tax rate.
Any city located at least partly within an area declared a disaster area by the Governor of the State or the President of the United States during
the current year may calculate its “voter-approval tax rate” using a 1.08 multiplier, instead of 1.035, until the earlier of (i) the second tax year
in which such city’s total taxable appraised value exceeds the taxable appraised value on January 1 of the year the disaster occurred, or (ii)
the third tax year after the tax year in which the disaster occurred.
State law provides cities and counties in the State the option of assessing a maximum one‐half percent (1/2%) sales and use tax on retail sales
of taxable items for the purpose of reducing its ad valorem taxes, if approved by a majority of the voters in a local option election. If the
additional sales and use tax for ad valorem tax reduction is approved and levied, the no-new-revenue tax rate and voter-approval tax rate
must be reduced by the amount of the estimated sales tax revenues to be generated in the current tax year.
The calculations of the no-new-revenue tax rate and voter-approval tax rate do not limit or impact the City’s ability to set a debt
service tax rate in each year sufficient to pay debt service on all of the City’s tax-supported debt obligations, including the Certificates.
Reference is made to the Property Tax Code for definitive requirements for the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes and the calculation
of the various defined tax rates.
DEBT TAX RATE LIMITATIONS . . . All taxable property within the City is subject to the assessment, levy and collection by the City of a
continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax sufficient to provide for the payment of principal of and interest on all ad valorem tax supported
debt, within the limits prescribed by law. Article XI, Section 5, of the Texas Constitution is applicable to the City, and limits its maximum
ad valorem tax rate to $2.50 per $100 of Taxable Assessed Valuation. Administratively, the Attorney General of the State of Texas will
permit allocation of $1.50 of the $2.50 maximum tax rate for all debt service on ad valorem tax-supported debt, as calculated at the time of
issuance.
THE CITY’S RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF TAX DELINQUENCIES . . . Taxes levied by the City are a personal obligation of the owner of the
property. On January 1 of each year, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all state and local taxes, penalties, and interest
ultimately imposed for the year on the property. The lien exists in favor of each taxing unit, including the City, having power to tax the
property. The City’s tax lien is on a parity with tax liens of such other taxing units. A tax lien on real property takes priority over the claim
of most creditors and other holders of liens on the property encumbered by the tax lien, whether or not the debt or lien existed before the
attachment of the tax lien; however, whether a lien of the United States is on a parity with or takes priority over a tax lien of the City is
determined by applicable federal law. Personal property, under certain circumstances, is subject to seizure and sale for the payment of
delinquent taxes, penalty, and interest.
Page 103 of 159
17
At any time after taxes on property become delinquent, the City may file suit to foreclose the lien securing payment of the tax, to enforce
personal liability for the tax, or both. In filing a suit to foreclose a tax lien on real property, the City must join other taxing units that have
claims for delinquent taxes against all or part of the same property.
Collection of delinquent taxes may be adversely affected by the amount of taxes owed to other taxing units, adverse market conditions,
taxpayer redemption rights, or bankruptcy proceedings which restrain the collection of a taxpayer’s debt.
Federal bankruptcy law provides that an automatic stay of actions by creditors and other entities, including governmental units, goes into
effect with the filing of any petition in bankruptcy. The automatic stay prevents governmental units from foreclosing on property and prevents
liens for post-petition taxes from attaching to property and obtaining secured creditor status unless, in either case, an order lifting the stay is
obtained from the bankruptcy court. In many cases, post-petition taxes are paid as an administrative expense of the estate in bankruptcy or
by order of the bankruptcy court.
CITY APPLICATION OF PROPERTY TAX CODE . . . The City grants a 5% exemption to the market value of the residence homestead. It also
grants an exemption to the market value of the residence homestead of persons 65 years of age or older of $30,000.
Ad valorem taxes are not levied by the City against the exempt value of residence homesteads for the payment of debt.
The City does not tax nonbusiness personal property.
The City does permit split payments, but discounts are not allowed.
The City does collect the additional one-half cent sales tax for reduction of ad valorem taxes.
The City has adopted a tax abatement policy.
An election was held on May 10, 2008 and the voters of College Station approved the ad valorem tax freeze for residential homesteads for
disabled and age 65 or older persons.
Brazos County collects the taxes for the City.
TAX ABATEMENT POLICY . . . The City has established tax abatement guidelines and criteria for economic development prospects in the City.
In order to be eligible for designation as a Reinvestment Zone and receive tax abatement, the planned improvement:
1. Must be expected to have an increased appraised ad valorem tax value of at least $1,000,000 based upon the Brazos Central
Appraisal District’s assessment of the eligible property.
2. Must be expected to prevent the loss of payroll or retain, increase or create a payroll on a permanent basis in the City.
The following factors among others should be considered in determining whether to grant tax abatement and, if so, the percentage of value
to be abated and the duration of the tax abatement:
1. Value of land and existing improvements, if any;
2. Type and value of proposed improvements;
3. Productive life of proposed improvements;
4. Number of existing jobs to be retained by proposed improvements;
5. Number of type of new jobs to be created by proposed improvements;
6. Amount of local payroll to be created;
7. Whether persons residing or projected to reside within the City will have the opportunity to fill the new jobs being created;
8. Amount of local taxes to be generated directly;
9. Amount of property tax base valuation which will be increased during term of abatement and after abatement, which shall include
a definitive commitment that such valuation shall not, in any case, be less than $1,000,000;
10. The costs to be incurred by the City to provide facilities or services directly resulting from the new improvements;
11. The amount of ad valorem taxes to be paid to the City during the abatement period considering (a) the existing values, (b) the
percentage of new value abated, (c) the abatement period, and (d) the value after expiration of the abatement period;
12. The population growth of the City that occurs directly as result of new improvements;
13. The types of public improvements, if any, to be made by the applicant seeking abatement;
14. Whether the proposed improvements compete with existing businesses to the detriment of the local economy;
15. The impact on the business opportunities of existing businesses;
16. The attraction of other new businesses to the area;
17. The overall compatibility with the zoning ordinances and comprehensive plan for the area; and/or
18. Whether the project is environmentally compatible with no negative impact on quality of life perceptions.
Neither a Reinvestment Zone nor abatement agreement shall be authorized if it is determined that:
1. There would be substantial adverse affect on the provision of government service or tax base;
2. The applicant has insufficient financial capacity;
Page 104 of 159
18
3. Planned or potential use of the property would constitute a hazard to public safety, health or morals;
4. Violation of other code or laws;
5. The agreement was signed after the commencement of construction, alteration or installation of improvements related to the project;
or
6. Any other reason deemed appropriate by the City Council
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT . . . In the fall of 2013, the College Station City Council adopted an Economic Development Master Plan. This
document represents the City’s first such effort and joins the many other Master Plans, Neighborhood, Corridor, and District Plans created
to aid in successful implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. The Master Plan defines the goals and objectives of the City’s economic
development efforts and lays out strategies and detailed actions to achieve these goals and objectives. The plan specifically identified six
strategic initiatives that the City’s economic development program area should focus its efforts on: sustain and enhance high quality of life;
support and partner with Texas A&M University and the Texas A&M University System; support retail development; support and stimulate
biotechnology research and advanced manufacturing; support and stimulate health and wellness market; and support and stimulate sports,
entertainment, and hospitality market.
Furthermore, the Plan also details how the plan should be monitored and updated over time, and identifies a series of formal economic
development policy guidelines that were also adopted. These guidelines state that in order to ensure the ongoing competitiveness of the
community, no State authorized incentive should immediately be discounted. The Texas Constitution and multiple State statutes identify the
role of economic development by both the State and its municipalities as a public purpose. While recognizing there is no standard strategy,
policy, or program for economic development, the Texas Legislature has created a vast array of tools that local governments have at their
disposal. The objective of these tools is to not only encourage development and diversification of the Texas economy, but to simultaneously
enhance the participating community’s overall quality of life. Incentives to consider may include, but not be limited to: Chapter 380 financing;
development fee rebates; enterprise zone program sponsorship; Freeport exemptions; infrastructure assistance; land transactions; delayed
annexation or limited purpose annexation; special districts; reinvestment zones (tax abatement or tax increment); and fast track development
process.
The City and the City of Bryan, Texas have also entered into an “Interlocal Cooperation and Joint Development Agreement” (the “Interlocal
Agreement”) in connection with implementing a joint economic development program known as the Joint Research Valley BioCorridor
Development Project (the “Project”). Under the terms of the Interlocal Agreement, the City will make funds available to the City of Bryan,
and the City of Bryan will make funds available to the City, for certain defined public infrastructure projects that are intended to enhance
development of the Project. The obligations of each city under the Interlocal Agreement shall not constitute a debt for purposes of any
provision of the State Constitution, and are intended to be paid from the general revenues of each city.

(1) Certified taxable assessed valuation for tax year 2021 as reported by the Brazos Central Appraisal District. This amount is subject to change
during ensuing year.
(2) Preliminary, subject to change. The debt service on a portion of the Certificates will be internally allocated by the City as being payable
from the surplus revenues from the respective enterprise funds. Although the City expects to pay for this portion of the Certificates with
surplus enterprise funds, the Certificates are secured solely by a pledge of ad valorem taxes and by a pledge of combined utility system
surplus net revenues limited to $1,000. See “THE Certificates - Security and Source of Payment.” There is no guarantee that payments
from these enterprise funds will be made. If payments are not made from the enterprise funds, the City will be required to levy ad valorem
taxes in amounts sufficient to make such payments.
(3) In the past, the City has sold certificates of obligation to finance projects for the City’s water and sewer system, and electric system and has
internally allocated portions of this debt as payable from the respective enterprise funds. The self-supporting amounts listed above are
projections of debt that is expected to be retired by the City based on actual historical payments from these funds to pay for debt service the
outstanding certificates of obligation. There is no guarantee that payments from these funds will continue in the future. Includes a portion
of the Certificates. See “DEBT INFORMATION – TABLE 10 – Self Supporting Debt.”

TABLE 7 - ESTIMATED OVERLAPPING DEBT
Expenditures of the various taxing entities within the territory of the City are paid out of ad valorem taxes levied by such entities on properties
within the City. Such entities are independent of the City and may incur borrowings to finance their expenditures. This statement of direct
and estimated overlapping ad valorem tax debt (“Tax Debt”) was developed by the City from information obtained from the Brazos Central
Appraisal District. Except for the amounts relating to the City, the City has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of such
information, and no person should rely upon such information as being accurate or complete. Furthermore, certain of the entities listed may
have issued additional debt since the date hereof, and such entities may have programs requiring the issuance of substantial amounts of
additional debt, the amount of which cannot be determined. The following table reflects the estimated share of overlapping Tax Debt of the
City.

PENSION FUND
Plan Description
The City accounts for pension cost under GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions. The City of College
Station participates as one of over 887 plans in the multi-employer, nontraditional, joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit pension plan
administered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). TMRS is an agency created by the State of Texas and administered in
accordance with the TMRS Act, Subtitle G, Title 8, Texas Government Code (the TMRS Act) as an agent multiple-employer retirement
system for municipal employees in the State of Texas. The TMRS Act places the general administration and management of the System with
a six-member Board of Trustees. Although the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoints the Board, TMRS is not fiscally
dependent on the State of Texas. TMRS’s defined benefit pension plan is a tax-qualified plan under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue
Code. TMRS issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report that can be obtained at www.tmrs.com. All eligible employees
of the city are required to participate in TMRS.
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options
available in the state statutes governing TMRS.
At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee’s contributions, with interest, and the city-financed monetary credits,
with interest, were used to purchase an annuity. Members may choose to receive their retirement benefit in one of seven actuarially equivalent
payment options. Members may also choose to receive a portion of their benefit as a Partial Lump Sum Distribution in an amount equal to
12, 24, or 36 monthly payments, which cannot exceed 75% of the member’s deposits and interest.
Plan provisions for the City were as follows:
Employees covered by benefit terms at the December 31, 2019 valuation and measurement date are as follows:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 498
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 603
Active employees 922
Total 2,023
Contributions
The contribution rates for employees in TMRS are either 5%, 6%, or 7% of employee gross earnings, and the city matching percentages are
either 100%, 150%, or 200%, both as adopted by the governing body of the city. Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for
each city is determined annually by the actuary, using the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. The actuarially determined rate is the
estimated amount necessary to finance the cost of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any
unfunded accrued liability.
Employees for the City were required to contribute 7% of their annual gross earnings during the fiscal year. The contribution rates for the City
were 13% and 13% in calendar years 2020 and 2019, respectively. The City’s contributions to TMRS for fiscal year 2020 were $7,917,114 and
were within a good range of the required contributions of $7,917,114.
Employee deposit rate 7.00%
Matching ratio (City to Employee) 2 to 1
Years required for vesting 5
Service retirement eligibility 20 years at any age;
5 years at age 60 and above
Updated service credit 75% repeating transfers

Net Pension Liability
The City’s Net Pension Liability (NPL) was measured as of December 31, 2019, and the Total Pension Liability (TPL) used to calculate the Net
Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.
Actuarial Assumptions
The Total Pension Liability in the December 31, 2019 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.5% per year
Overall paytoll growth 2.75%
Investment rate of return 6.75%, net of pension plan investment
expense including inflation
Salary increases were based on service-related tables. Mortality rates for active members, retirees, and beneficiaries were based on fully
generational basis with scale UMP. PUB(10) Mortality Table with the Public Safety table used for males and the General Employee table used
for females. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis with scale UMP.
Actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2019 valuation were based on the results of actuarial experience studies of TMRS over the four
year period from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2014. Assumptions are reviewed annually.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 6.75%. The pension plan’s policy with regard to the allocation of invested
assets is established and may be amended by the TMRS Board of Trustees. Plan assets are managed on a total return basis with an emphasis on
both capital appreciation as well as the production of income, in order to satisfy the short-term and long-term funding needs of TMRS. The long-
term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best estimate ranges of expected
future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These
ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset
allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major
asset class are summarized in the following table:
Long Term
Expected
Target Real Rate
Asset Class Allocation of Return
Global Equity 30.00% 5.30%
Core Fixed Income 10.00% 1.25%
Non-Core Fixed Income 20.00% 4.14%
Real Return 10.00% 3.85%
Real Estate 10.00% 4.00%
Absolute Return 10.00% 3.48%
Private Equity 10.00% 7.75%
Total 100.00%

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 6.75%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate
assumed that employee contributions will remain at the current 7.0% and employer contributions will be made at the rates specified in statute.
Based on that assumption, the pension plan’s Fiduciary Net Position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments
of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected
benefit payments to determine the Total Pension Liability.

OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Plan Description
Plan administration: As required by state laws, in addition to the pension benefits described above, the City makes available certain
postretirement benefits to employees who meet TMRS retirement qualifications, retire from City employment, and enroll in the plan before
the effective date of their retirement. The City’s OPEB Plan is a single employer defined benefit plan, defined by City policy. The OPEB
Plan does not issue a separate report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the OPEB Plan.
Plan membership. At September 30, 2020 membership consisted of the following:
Medical
and/or Life
Dental Insurance
Benefits Benefits
Retirees and Retiree Spouses 71 188
Active Employees 905 905
976 1,093
Benefits provided: The City’s defined benefit Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Plan offers medical, dental, vision, drug, and life
insurance benefits to retired employees and their eligible dependents. The OPEB Plan is a single employer defined benefit OPEB plan
administered by the City. The benefit levels offered to retired employees and eligible dependents are the same as those afforded to active
employees as the City’s group health insurance plan covers both active and retired members. All medical, dental, vision and drug care benefits
are provided through the City’s self-insured health plan. As long as monthly premium payments are made, the healthcare plan provides
coverage until age 65 for retired employees and eligible dependents enrolled in the City’s OPEB Plan. The life insurance offered though the
OPEB Plan provides a $10,000, fully insured death benefit coverage upon retirement, which ceases upon attainment of age 65. The Life
insurance benefit for eligible retirees is paid entirely by the City.
Contributions: Benefit provisions, as well as retiree premium contributions, are established by City management. The City determines the
employer and participant contribution rates annually, based on recommendations of City staff and the City’s benefit consultant. For the year
ended September 30, 2020, the City’s average contribution rate was 1.0 percent of covered-employee payroll.

Investments
Investment policy: The goal of the Plan’s investment program is to generate adequate long-term returns that, when combined with
contributions, will result in sufficient assets to pay the present and future obligations of the Plan. The Plan has a Balanced Risk Tolerance
with a Strategic Asset Allocation of the following:
Concentrations: Assets of the OPEB plan are held in Trust by PARS which is fully discussed in Note 23 in the City’s financial statements.
Rate of return: For the year ended December 31, 2019, the annual money-weighted rate of return on investments, net of investment expense,
was 19.9 percent. The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing
amounts actually invested.
Receivables
The OPEB plan has no receivables from long-term contracts with the City for contributions at September 30, 2020.
Allocated Insurance Contracts
The OPEB plan has no allocated insurance contracts excluded from OPEB plan assets at September 30, 2020.
Reserves
The OPEB plan has no reserves recorded at September 30, 2020.
Net OPEB Liability
The components of the net OPEB liability of the City at September 30, 2020 based on the December 31, 2019 measurement and actuarial
valuation date, were as follows:
Total OPEB liability - ending 5,367,544 $
Plan fiduciary net position - ending (4,069,750)
Net OPEB liability - ending 1,297,794
Plan fiduciary net position as a percentage
of total OPEB liability 75.82%
Changes in the Net OPEB Liability
For the year ended September 30, 2020, the City recognized reduction in the OPEB liability of $3,562,595. Effective January 1, 2018, the
City has made the following changes to the benefits offered under its Other Post Employment Benefit Plan. To be eligible for premium
pricing for medical, dental, vision, and drug benefits at the time of retirement, employees must:
Meet TMRS retirement qualifications,
Be 55 years of age or older,
Have five (5) years of employment at the City of College Station,
Be enrolled in the plan before the effective date of their retirement.

Cash 5.0% 0-20%
Fixed Income 35.0% 30%-50%
Equity 60.0% 50%-70%
Total 100.0%

In addition, certain actuarial changes were made when enacting GASB 75 that affected the Net OPEB Liability. Those changes included:
The Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method must be used to attribute the actuarial present value of benefits to service
periods in determining the OPEB Liability. This differed from the Projected Unit Credit Cost Method previously used by
the City.
Discount Rate changes were allowed under GASB 75. Those changes included that for the unfunded portion of the plan,
the discount rate is based on yields of 20-year, tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of
AA/Aa or higher. For the funded portion, however, the City could continue to use an assumption similar to the current
discount rate.
Instead of recording expense equal to the Annual Required Contribution (ARC), GASB No. 75 required expensing the
change in Net OPEB Liability from one period to the next. Some sources of this change are expensed immediately, while
others are amortized over a period of approximately ten to twenty years depending on plan demographics.
Components of the change in the Net OPEB Liability is as follows:

Actuarial assumptions. The total OPEB liability for the year ended September 30, 2020 as measured as of December 31, 2019 was determined
by an actuarial valuation as of that date using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless
otherwise specified:
Inflation 3.0%
Salary increases 4% to 12% including inflation
Discount rate 7.00%
Healthcare cost trend rates 7.50% in FY22 decreasing 0.50% per year to an unltimate rate
of 4.75% for FY28 and later years
Mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table for Males or Females, as appropriate, with adjustments for mortality
improvements based on Scale BB. The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2018 valuation were based on the results of an
actuarial experience study for the period December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2014.

The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate
ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset
class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by
the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset
class included in the target asset allocation are summarized in the following table:
Expected
Real
Target Rate of Weighted
Asset Class Allocation Return Average
Cash 5.00% 0.75% 0.04%
Fixed Income 35.00% 3.56% 1.25%
Equity 60.00% 5.75% 3.45%
Total 100.00% N/A 4.74%
Discount rate. The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 7.0 percent. The discount rate used to determine the total OPEB
Liability as of the beginning of the measurement year prior to the establishment of the OPEB trust was 3.78%. The weighted average of the
Expected Real Rate of Return is added to the Expected Long-Term Inflation assumption and reduced by expected investment expenses
(4.74% + 3.00% - 0.75% = 6.99%). This result is then rounded to the nearest 25 basis points to obtain the Expected Long-Term Rate of
Return of 7.00%.
The projected cash flows into the plan are equal to projected benefit payments out of the plan plus prefunding contributions that have been
approved by the City Council. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made
at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates.
The assumed rate of general inflation has been updated since the valuation used for the September 30, 2018 liability to reflect the actuary’s
best expectation of future plan experience.
The long-term expected rate of return for the plan is 7.0 percent. The plan operates on a pay as you go basis and accumulates assets in trust
in addition to the pay as you go amount.
Based on the discount rate assumptions, the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future
benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long- term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all
periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.
Sensitivity of the net OPEB liability to changes in the discount rate. The following presents the net OPEB liability of the City, as well as what
the City’s net OPEB liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage point lower (6.0 percent) or 1-percentage-
point higher (8.0 percent) than the current discount rate:

OPEB Trust
On September 11, 2017, the City Council approved a resolution adopting the Public Agencies Retirement Services (PARS) Post-Retirement
Health Care Plan Trust and on September 25, 2017, the City Council passed resolution 2017-0564 appropriating the funds. Effective
September 27, 2017, the City entered into a section 115 Irrevocable Exclusive Benefit agent multiple-employer trust to fund its Other
Postemployment Benefits Obligation. Trust and Investment Management Services are provided by Public Agency Retirement Services
(PARS) and is administered by the City. The investment manager that executes investment transactions is Highmark Capital Management,
Inc. and the custodian of the trust’s funds is US Bank.
With the establishment of the trust, the City can pre-fund (make annual payments in advance of the obligation) and allocate funds for the
express purpose of funding future OPEB costs. The investment returns can be used to reduce the actuarial contributions and can result in
lower long-term costs of the plan. As of September 30, 2020 the trust’s balance was $4,148,473.

TABLE 13 - MUNICIPAL SALES TAX HISTORY
The City has adopted the Municipal Sales and Use Tax Act, Texas, Tax Code, Chapter 321, which grants the City the power to impose and levy
a 1% Local Sales and Use Tax within the City; the proceeds are credited to the General Fund and are not pledged to the payment of the Certificates.
Collections and enforcements are effected through the offices of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, State of Texas, who remits the proceeds of
the tax, after deduction of a 2% service fee, to the City monthly. In May 1990, the voters of the City approved the imposition of an additional
sales and use tax of one-half of one percent (½ of 1%) for property tax reduction. The total sales tax rate for the City is 1.5%.

The sales tax breakdown for the City is as follows:
FINANCIAL POLICIES
Basis of Accounting . . .The accounts of the City are organized and operated on the basis of funds and account groups. A fund is an
independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended
purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with finance-related legal and contractual provisions. The minimum
number of funds is maintained consistent with legal and managerial requirements. Account groups are a reporting device to account for
certain assets and liabilities of the governmental funds not recorded directly in those funds. Government funds are used to account for the
City’s general government activities. Governmental fund types use the flow of current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting.
General Fund . . . The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It is used to account for all activities typically considered
governmental functions of the City. These include Public Safety, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Economic and Planning and
Development Services, the support functions for these areas, and the administrative functions for the City.
The General Fund for the 2020-2021 fiscal year is influenced by current policies and any approved policy changes. The policies include
inter-fund equity; maintaining a balance between revenues and expenditures; and maintaining the level of service currently provided as the
City experiences residential and commercial growth.
The City’s financial policies are for a General Fund balance of 18% of budgeted appropriations at year end. To the extent that the General
Fund balance exceeds this amount, this surplus is to be expended in future years for one time expenditures such as capital items and short
term projects.
Debt Service Fund . . .The Debt Service Fund accounts for the servicing of general long-term debt not being financed by proprietary or
nonexpendable trust funds. It is the City’s policy to maintain at least 8 1/3% of annual appropriated expenditures for debt service and any
associated fees as the Debt Service Fund balance at fiscal yearend. The City is in compliance with that policy.
Budgetary Procedures . . .Prior to September 1, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year
commencing the following October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. All budget
requests are compiled by the Finance Department and presented with comparative and supporting data to the Mayor and City Council for
review. Public hearings are properly advertised and conducted at City Hall for taxpayer comments. Prior to September 27, the budget is
legally enacted through passage of an ordinance. The City Council must approve all transfers of budgeted amounts between departments
within any fund and any revision that alters the total expenditure of any fund. An amount is also budgeted each year for contingencies which
may arise.

THE COMBINED UTILITY SYSTEM
WATERWORKS SYSTEM
Since December 1981, the City has had the capability to produce and deliver 100% of its water. The system has been expanded to a system
of ten wells, with a combined capacity of 38 million gallons per day. The water is delivered to the distribution system by 14 miles of 30-
inch diameter and 36 inch diameter pipeline and two pumping stations.
Two of the wells mentioned above are shallow wells, less than 1,500 feet deep, drilled into the Carrizo and Sparta aquifers. The remaining
eight are deep wells, approximately 3,000 feet, drilled in the Simsboro Sand formation of the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer. This is a very prolific
aquifer of high quality water that has the capacity to provide an adequate water supply for the City and surrounding communities through the
year 2060, and well beyond, if managed properly.
The Simsboro Sand, and all local aquifers, are regulated by the Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District, and permitting
requirements have been implemented for all new water wells. College Station has recently completed the construction of another Simsboro
well, Well #9 that will meet the city’s demands for water for many years into the future. Well #10 remains in the planning stages, and would
be constructed in future years, depending upon the rate of growth of water demands. College Station is also investigating other water supply
strategies for the future.
The City has completed a Water Reclamation project, which pumps effluent from the wastewater treatment plant to Veteran’s Park for
irrigation of playing fields, reducing the demand on the potable water system by approximately 350,000 gallons per day during the watering
season. In 2016, the City completed a two year agreement with an oil company, which provided the City with $470,000 of revenue for
providing just under 200 million gallons of reclaimed water.
The City also has stand by generators at strategic locations sufficient to provide adequate potable water for health and safety during an
extended area-wide electrical power outage.
Water rates are established by ordinance, passed and approved by the City Council. The following rates became effective October 1, 2019.
The Residential rates are inclined block rates to encourage water conservation.

WASTEWATER SYSTEM
The City’s wastewater is treated by three City-owned wastewater treatment plants, Carter Creek Treatment Plant, Lick Creek Treatment Plant,
and Carter Lake Treatment Plant located within the City limits. The three plants have a combined treatment capacity of 11.5 mgd. An expansion
of the Lick Creek Treatment plant is currently underway and will increase the city’s combined treatment capacity to 14.5 mgd.
Sewer rates were established by ordinance, passed and approved by the City Council, and became effective on October 1, 2017
Residential (metered water) .......................................................... $21.29 including 4,000 gallons of metered water
Usage Charge ................................................................................ $4.26 per 1,000 gallons of additional metered water

There are 2,217 customers (units) who receive their water from Wellborn Water, but sewer is provided by the City of College Station. Those
customers pay an initial usage charge of $46.87 per month. After six months of documented water usage, rates can be adjusted downward on
a tiered scale.
ELECTRIC SUPPLY SOURCE
The City has multiple Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in order to meet its load requirements. The PPAs are currently with AEP Energy
Partners (AEPEP) and Garland Power and Light (GP&L). With AEPEP, the City has a fixed block, around the clock (ATC) PPA that expires
in 2027. The City also has a PPA with AEPEP for wind power that expires in 2028. The City has a load following PPA with GP&L that
expires in 2027. While the PPAs with AEPEP are considered base load power, the load following PPA with GP&L covers the load above the
base power provided by AEPEP's PPAs. GP&L is also the City’s Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE). GP&L's QSE schedules and settles all
the contract resources owned by the City. On the City's advisement, the QSE also procures any replacement power as needed on behalf of
the City.
Other wholesale/power supply costs include Congestion costs, Ancillary Services and Transmission Cost of Service (TCOS). Since the City
owns transmission assets, it not only pays but also receives TCOS payments based on TCOS rates approved by the Public Utility Commission
of Texas.
The City owns 20 miles of 138kV transmission lines, eight substations, and 510 miles of distribution lines. ERCOT serves as the RTO/ISO
for the area.
The current electric rates were established by ordinance passed and approved by the City Council and became effective on September 27,
2018. The electric rates are subject to a transmission delivery adjustment (TDA) charge which requires that the net energy charge per kilowatt
hour must be increased or decreased by an amount per kilowatt hour equal to additional transmission charges above those accounted for in
the wholesale rate. The TDA is currently set at $0.005 per kilowatt hour of energy consumed.
In January 2009, College Station Utilities began offering residential electric customers renewable wind energy. In February 2010, the
renewable wind energy program was expanded to include commercial customers. Wind energy is generated from the South Trent Mesa Wind
Project located west of Abilene, Texas.

A political subdivision such as the City may enter into securities lending programs if (i) the securities loaned under the program are 100%
collateralized, a loan made under the program allows for termination at any time and a loan made under the program is either secured by (a)

the pools are rated no lower than AAA or AAAm or an equivalent by at least one nationally recognized rating service, if the City Council
authorizes such investment in the particular pool by order, ordinance, or resolution and the investment pool complies with the requirements
of Section 2256.016, Texas Government Code. The City may also contract with an investment management firm registered (x) under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. Section 80b-1 et seq.), or (y) with the State Securities Board to provide for the investment and
management of its public funds or other funds under its control for a term up to two years, but the City retains ultimate responsibility as
fiduciary of its assets. In order to renew or extend such a contract, the City must do so by ordinance, order or resolution.
The City is specifically prohibited from investing in: (1) obligations whose payment represents the coupon payments on the outstanding
principal balance of the underlying mortgage-backed security collateral and pays no principal; (2) obligations whose payment represents the
principal stream of cash flow from the underlying mortgage-backed security and bears no interest; (3) collateralized mortgage obligations
that have a stated final maturity of greater than 10 years; and (4) collateralized mortgage obligations the interest rate of which is determined
by an index that adjusts opposite to the changes in a market index.
INVESTMENT POLICIES
Under Texas law, the City is required to invest its funds under written investment policies that primarily emphasize safety of principal and
liquidity; that address investment diversification, yield, maturity, and the quality and capability of investment management; and that includes a
list of authorized investments for City funds, maximum allowable stated maturity of any individual investment and the maximum average dollar-
weighted maturity allowed for pooled fund groups, methods to monitor the market price of investments acquired with public funds, a requirement
for settlement of all transactions, except investment pool funds and mutual funds, on a delivery versus payment basis, and procedures to monitor
rating changes in investments acquired with public funds and the liquidation of such investments consistent with the PFIA. All City funds must
be invested consistent with a formally adopted “Investment Strategy Statement” that specifically addresses each funds’ investment. Each
Investment Strategy Statement will describe its objectives concerning (1) suitability of investment type, (2) preservation and safety of principal,
(3) liquidity, (4) marketability of each investment, (5) diversification of the portfolio, and (6) yield.
Under Texas law, City investments must be made “with judgment and care, under prevailing circumstances, that a person of prudence,
discretion, and intelligence would exercise in the management of the person’s own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering
the probable safety of capital and the probable income to be derived.” At least quarterly the investment officers of the City will submit an
investment report detailing (1) the investment position of the City, (2) that all investment officers jointly prepared and signed the report, (3)
the beginning market value and ending market value for each pooled fund group, (4) the book value and market value of each separately
listed asset at the end of the reporting period, (5) the maturity date of each separately invested asset, (6) the account or fund or pooled fund
group for which each individual investment was acquired, and (7) the compliance of the investment portfolio as it relates to: (a) adopted
investment strategy statements and (b) state law. No person may invest City funds without express written authority from the City Council.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
Under Texas law the City is additionally required to: (1) annually review its adopted policies and strategies; (2) require any investment officers’
with personal business relationships or relatives with firms seeking to sell securities to the entity to disclose the relationship and file a
statement with the Texas Ethics Commission and the City Council; (3) require the registered principal of firms seeking to sell securities to
the City to: (a) receive and review the City’s investment policy, (b) acknowledge that reasonable controls and procedures have been
implemented to preclude imprudent investment activities, and (c) deliver a written statement attesting to these requirements; (4) perform an
annual audit of the management controls on investments and adherence to the City’s investment policy; (5) provide specific investment
training for the Finance Director, Treasurer, Assistant City Manager and investment officers; (6) restrict reverse repurchase agreements to
not more than 90 days and restrict the investment of reverse repurchase agreement funds to no greater than the term of the reverse repurchase
agreement; (7) restrict the investment in non-money market mutual funds of any portion of bond proceeds, reserves and funds held for debt
service and to no more than 15% of the entity’s monthly average fund balance, excluding bond proceeds and reserves and other funds held
for debt service; (8) require local government investment pools to conform to the new disclosure, rating, net asset value, yield calculation,
and advisory board requirements and (9) at least annually review, revise, and adopt a list of qualified brokers that are authorized to engage
in investment transactions with the City.
Under Texas law, the City may contract with an investment management firm registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15
U.S.C. Section 80b-1 et seq.) or with the State Securities Board to provide for the investment and management of its public funds or other
funds under its control for a term up to two years, but the City retains ultimate responsibility as fiduciary of its assets. In order to renew or
extend such a contract, the City must do so by order, ordinance or resolution. The City has not contracted with, and has no present intention
of contracting with, any such investment management firm or the State Securities Board to provide such services.

CITY’S INVESTMENT POLICY
The Assistant City Manager or his designee will promptly cause all City funds to be deposited with the bank depository and invested in
accordance with the provisions of the current Bank Depository Agreement or in any negotiable instrument that the City Council has authorized
under the provisions of the PFIA, as amended, and in accordance with the City Council approved Investment Policies.
At the end of each fiscal year, a report on investment performance will be provided to the City Council. In conjunction with the quarterly
financial report, the Assistant City Manager or his designee will prepare and provide a written recapitulation of the City’s investment portfolio
to the Council, detailing each City investment instrument with its rate of return and maturity date.
The City's adopted investment policy permits the City to invest its funds and funds under its control in all of the enumerated investments

TAX MATTERS
OPINION . . . On the date of initial delivery of the Certificates, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Dallas, Texas, Bond Counsel, will render
its opinion that, in accordance with statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions existing on the date thereof (“Existing Law”),
(1) interest on the Certificates for federal income tax purposes will be excludable from the “gross income” of the holders thereof and (2) the
Certificates will not be treated as “specified private activity bonds” the interest on which would be included as an alternative minimum tax
preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). Except as stated above, Bond Counsel will
express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Certificates. See
APPENDIX C - Form of Opinion of Bond Counsel.
In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel will rely upon (a) certain information and representations of the City, including information and
representations contained in the City's federal tax certificate, and (b) covenants of the City contained in the Ordinance authorizing the
Certificates relating to certain matters, including arbitrage and the use of the proceeds of the Certificates and the property financed or
refinanced therewith. Failure of the City to comply with these representations or covenants could cause the interest on the Certificates, as
the case may be, to become includable in gross income retroactively to their date of issuance.
The Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder contain a number of requirements that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the
Certificates in order for interest on the Certificates to be, and to remain, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure
to comply with such requirements may cause interest on the Certificates to be included in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of
the Certificates. The opinions of Bond Counsel are rendered in reliance upon the compliance by the City with such requirements, and Bond
Counsel has not been retained to monitor compliance with these requirements subsequent to the issuance of the Certificates.
Bond Counsel's opinions are not a guarantee of a result, but represent its legal judgment based upon its review of Existing Law and reliance
on the aforementioned information, representations and covenants. Existing Law is subject to change by the Congress and to subsequent
judicial and administrative interpretation by the courts and the Department of the Treasury. There can be no assurance that Existing Law or
the interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner which would adversely affect the tax treatment of the purchase, ownership or
disposition of the Certificates.
A ruling was not sought from the Internal Revenue Service by the Issuer with respect to the Certificates or the property financed or refinanced
with proceeds of the Certificates. No assurances can be given as to whether the Internal Revenue Service will commence an audit of the
Certificates, or as to whether the Internal Revenue Service would agree with the opinion of Bond Counsel. If an Internal Revenue Service audit
is commenced, under current procedures the Internal Revenue Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer and the Certificate holders may
have no right to participate in such procedure. No additional interest will be paid upon any determination of taxability.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT . . . The initial public offering price to be paid for one or
more maturities of the Certificates may be less than the principal amount thereof or one or more periods for the payment of interest on the
Certificates may not be equal to the accrual period or be in excess of one year (the “Original Issue Discount Certificates”). In such event,
the difference between (i) the “stated redemption price at maturity” of each Original Issue Discount Certificate, and (ii) the initial offering
price to the public of such Original Issue Discount Certificate would constitute original issue discount. The “stated redemption price at
maturity” means the sum of all payments to be made on the Certificates less the amount of all periodic interest payments. Periodic interest
payments are payments which are made during equal accrual periods (or during any unequal period if it is the initial or final period) and
which are made during accrual periods which do not exceed one year.
Under Existing Law, any owner who has purchased such Original Issue Discount Certificate in the initial public offering is entitled to exclude
from gross income (as defined in section 61 of the Code) an amount of income with respect to such Original Issue Discount Certificate equal
to that portion of the amount of such original issue discount allocable to the accrual period. For a discussion of certain collateral federal tax
consequences, see discussion set forth below.
In the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable disposition of such Original Issue Discount Certificate prior to stated maturity, however,
the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such Original Issue Discount Certificate in the hands of such owner (adjusted
upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Original Issue Discount Certificate was held by
such initial owner) is includable in gross income.
Under Existing Law, the original issue discount on each Original Issue Discount Certificate is accrued daily to the stated maturity thereof (in
amounts calculated as described below for each accrual period within each accrual period) and the accrued amount is added to an initial
owner's basis for such Original Issue Discount Certificate for purposes of determining the amount of gain or loss recognized by such owner
upon the redemption, sale or other disposition thereof. The amount to be added to basis for each accrual period is equal to (a) the sum of the
issue price and the amount of original issue discount accrued in prior periods multiplied by the yield to stated maturity (determined on the
basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period) less (b) the amounts
payable as current interest during such accrual period on such Original Issue Discount Certificate.
The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of Original Issue Discount Certificates
which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those
described above. All owners of Original Issue Discount Certificates should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the determination
for federal, state and local income tax purposes of the treatment of interest accrued upon redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original
Issue Discount Certificates and with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption,
sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Certificates.
COLLATERAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES . . . The following discussion is a summary of certain collateral federal income tax
consequences resulting from the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Certificates. This discussion is based on Existing Law, which is
subject to change or modification, retroactively.
The following discussion is applicable to investors, other than those who are subject to special provisions of the Code, such as financial
institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, life insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad
Retirement benefits, individuals allowed an earned income credit, certain S corporations with accumulated earnings and profits and excess
passive investment income, foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax, taxpayers qualifying for the health insurance premium
credit and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase tax-exempt obligations.
THE DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN MAY NOT BE EXHAUSTIVE. INVESTORS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT
TO SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE CODE, SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX TREATMENT
WHICH MAY BE ANTICIPATED TO RESULT FROM THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF TAX-EXEMPT
OBLIGATIONS BEFORE DETERMINING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE CERTIFICATES.
Under section 6012 of the Code, holders of tax-exempt obligations, such as the Certificates, may be required to disclose interest received or
accrued during each taxable year on their returns of federal income taxation.
Section 1276 of the Code provides for ordinary income tax treatment of gain recognized upon the disposition of a tax-exempt obligation,
such as the Certificates, if such obligation was acquired at a “market discount” and if the fixed maturity of such obligation is equal to, or
exceeds, one year from the date of issue. Such treatment applies to “market discount bonds” to the extent such gain does not exceed the
accrued market discount of such bonds; although for this purpose, a de minimis amount of market discount is ignored. A “market discount
bond” is one which is acquired by the holder at a purchase price which is less than the stated redemption price at maturity or, in the case of a
bond issued at an original issue discount, the “revised issue price” (i.e., the issue price plus accrued original issue discount). The “accrued
market discount” is the amount which bears the same ratio to the market discount as the number of days during which the holder holds the
obligation bears to the number of days between the acquisition date and the final maturity date.
STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAXES . . . Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax implications of the purchase,
ownership or disposition of the Certificates under applicable state or local laws. Foreign investors should also consult their own tax advisors
regarding the tax consequences unique to investors who are not United States persons.

Subject to certain exceptions, information reports describing interest income, including original issue discount, with respect to the Certificates
will be sent to each registered holder and to the Internal Revenue Service. Payments of interest and principal may be subject to backup
withholding under section 3406 of the Code if a recipient of the payments fails to furnish to the payor such owner's social security number
or other taxpayer identification number ("TIN"), furnishes an incorrect TIN, or otherwise fails to establish an exemption from the backup
withholding tax. Any amounts so withheld would be allowed as a credit against the recipient's federal income tax. Special rules apply to
partnerships, estates and trusts, and in certain circumstances, and in respect of Non-U.S. Holders, certifications as to foreign status and other
matters may be required to be provided by partners and beneficiaries thereof.
INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING . . . Subject to certain exceptions, information reports describing interest income,
including original issue discount, with respect to the Certificates will be sent to each registered holder and to the IRS. Payments of interest
and principal may be subject to backup withholding under section 3406 of the Code if a recipient of the payments fails to furnish to the payor
such owner’s social security number or other taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), furnishes an incorrect TIN, or otherwise fails to
establish an exemption from the backup withholding tax. Any amounts so withheld would be allowed as a credit against the recipient’s federal
income tax. Special rules apply to partnerships, estates and trusts, and in certain circumstances, and in respect of Non-U.S. Holders,
certifications as to foreign status and other matters may be required to be provided by partners and beneficiaries thereof.
FUTURE AND PROPOSED LEGISLATION . . . Tax legislation, administrative actions taken by tax authorities, or court decisions, whether at the
federal or state level, may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the Certificates under federal or state law, and could affect the
market price or marketability of the Certificates. Any of the foregoing could limit the value of certain deductions and exclusions, including
the exclusion for tax-exempt interest. The likelihood of any of the foregoing becoming effective cannot be predicted. Prospective purchasers
of the Certificates should consult their own tax advisors regarding the foregoing matters.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
In the Ordinance, the City has made the following agreement for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of Certificates. The City is
required to observe the agreement for so long as it remains obligated to advance funds to pay the Certificates. Under the agreement, the City

to the MSRB shall be accompanied by identifying information as prescribed by the MSRB.
ANNUAL REPORTS . . . The City will provide certain updated financial information and operating data to the MSRB on an annual basis in an
electronic format that is prescribed by the MSRB and available via the Electronic Municipal Market Access System ("EMMA") at

above under “Annual Reports.” Neither the Certificates nor the Ordinance provides for debt service reserves, liquidity enhancement, or credit
enhancement. In addition, the City will provide timely notice of any failure by the City to provide annual financial information in accordance
with their agreement described above under “Annual Reports.”
For the events listed in clause (15) and (16) above, the term “financial obligation” means a: (A) debt obligation; (B) derivative instrument
entered into in connection with, or pledged as security or a source of payment for, an existing or planned debt obligation; or (c) a guarantee

or if such jurisdiction has been assumed by leaving the existing governing body and officials or officers in possession but subject to the
supervision and orders of a court or governmental authority, or the entry of an order confirming a plan of reorganization, arrangement, or
liquidation by a court or governmental authority having supervision or jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the City.
The City will provide each notice described in the previous paragraph to the MSRB through EMMA, in accordance with the Rule.
LIMITATIONS AND AMENDMENTS . . . The City has agreed to update information and to provide notices of specified events only as described
above. The City has not agreed to provide other information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of its financial results
of operations, condition, or prospects or agreed to update any information that is provided, except as described above. The City makes no
representation or warranty concerning such information or concerning its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Certificates at any future
date. The City disclaims any contractual or tort liability for damages resulting in whole or in part from any breach of its continuing disclosure
agreement or from any statement made pursuant to its agreement, although holders of Certificates may seek a writ of mandamus to compel
the City to comply with its agreement.
The City may amend its continuing disclosure agreement from time to time to adapt to changed circumstances that arise from a change in
legal requirements, a change in law, or a change in the identity, nature, status, or type of operations of the City, if (i) the agreement, as
amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Certificates in the offering described herein in compliance with the Rule,
taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule to the date of such amendment, as well as such changed circumstances,
and (ii) either (a) the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Certificates consent to the amendment or (b) any
person unaffiliated with the City (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determines that the amendment will not materially impair the
interests of the holders and beneficial owners of the Certificates. If the City so amends the agreement, it has agreed to include with the next
financial information and operating data provided in accordance with its agreement described above under “Annual Reports” an explanation,
in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of financial information and operating data
so provided.
COMPLIANCE WITH PRIOR UNDERTAKINGS . . . During the last five years, the City has not failed to comply in any material respect with any
material provisions of the continuing disclosure agreements made by the City in accordance with Rule 15c2-12.

The presently outstanding tax supported debt of the City is rated “Aa1” by Moody's and “AA+” by S&P, without regard to credit
enhancement. Applications have been made to Moody’s and S&P for contract ratings for the Certificates. The ratings reflect only the
respective views of such organizations and the City makes no representation as to the appropriateness of the ratings. There is no assurance
that such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by either or both
of such rating companies, if in the judgment of either or both companies, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or
withdrawal of such ratings, or either of them, may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Certificates.
LITIGATION
The City is a party to legal proceedings, many of which occur in the normal course of operations. It is not possible at the present time to
estimate ultimate outcome or liability, if any, of the city with respect to the various proceedings. The City’s management believes that the
ultimate outcome of the various lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the City’s financial position.
REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION OF CERTIFICATES FOR SALE
The sale of the Certificates has not been registered under the federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption
provided thereunder by Section 3(a)(2); and the Certificates have not been qualified under the Securities Act of Texas in reliance upon various
exemptions contained therein; nor have the Certificates been qualified under the securities acts of any jurisdiction. The City assumes no
responsibility for qualification of the Certificates under the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which the Certificates may be sold, assigned,
pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred. This disclaimer of responsibility for qualification for sale or other disposition of the
Certificates must not be construed as an interpretation of any kind with regard to the availability of any exemption from securities registration
provisions.
LEGAL INVESTMENTS AND ELIGIBILITY TO SECURE PUBLIC FUNDS IN TEXAS
Section 1201.041 of the Public Security Procedures Act (Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code) provides that the Certificates are negotiable
instruments, investment securities governed by Chapter 8, Texas Business and Commerce Code, and are legal and authorized investments
for insurance companies, fiduciaries, and trustees, and for the sinking funds of municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies
of the State of Texas. With respect to investment in the Certificates by municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of
the State of Texas, the PFIA requires that the Certificates be assigned a rating of at least “A” or its equivalent as to investment quality by a
national rating agency. See “OTHER INFORMATION - Ratings” herein. In addition, various provisions of the Texas Finance Code provide
that, subject to a prudent investor standard, the Certificates are legal investments for state banks, savings banks, trust companies with at
capital of one million dollars or more, and savings and loan associations. The Certificates are eligible to secure deposits of any public funds
of the State, its agencies, and its political subdivisions, and are legal security for those deposits to the extent of their market value. The City
has made no investigation of other laws, rules, regulations or investment criteria which might apply to such institutions or entities or which
might limit the suitability of the Certificates for any of the foregoing purposes or limit the authority of such institutions or entities to purchase
or invest in the Certificates for such purposes. No review by the City has been made of the laws in other states to determine whether the
Certificates are legal investments for various institutions in those states.
LEGAL MATTERS
The City will furnish to the Initial Purchaser a complete transcript of proceedings had incident to the authorization and issuance of the
Certificates, including the unqualified approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas approving the Initial Certificate and to the
effect that the Certificates are valid and legally binding obligations of the City, and based upon examination of such transcript of proceedings,
the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel. The customary closing papers, including a certificate to the effect that no litigation of any
nature has been filed or is then pending to restrain the issuance and delivery of the Certificates or which would affect the provision made for
their payment or security, or in any manner questioning the validity of said Certificates will also be furnished. In its capacity as Bond Counsel,
such firm has reviewed the information describing the Certificates in the Notice of Sales and Bidding Instructions, the Official Bid Forms
and the Official Statement to verify that such information conforms to the provisions of the Ordinance. Certain legal matters will be passed
upon for the City by McCall, Parkhurst & Horton, L.L.P., Dallas, Texas, Disclosure Counsel for the City. In connection with the transactions
described in the Official Statement, Bond Counsel represents only the City. The legal fee to be paid Bond Counsel for services rendered in
connection with the issuance of the Certificates is contingent on the sale and delivery of the Certificates. The legal opinion will accompany
the Certificates deposited with DTC or will be printed on the Certificates in the event of the discontinuance of the Book-Entry-Only System.
The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Certificates express the professional judgment of the attorneys
rendering the opinions as to the legal issues explicitly addressed therein. In rendering a legal opinion the attorney does not become an insurer
or guarantor of the expression of professional judgment, of the transaction opined upon, or of the future performance of the parties to the
transaction. Nor does the rendering of an opinion guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute that may arise from the transaction.

INFECTIOUS DISEASE OUTLOOK (COVID- 19)
The World Health Organization has declared a pandemic following the outbreak of COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by a new strain
of coronavirus (the “Pandemic”), which is currently affecting many parts of the world, including the United States and Texas. On January
31, 2020, the Secretary of the United States Health and Human Services Department declared a public health emergency for the United States
in connection with COVID-19. On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States (the “President”) declared the Pandemic a national
emergency and the Texas Governor (the “Governor”) declared COVID-19 an imminent threat of disaster for all counties in Texas
(collectively, the “disaster declarations”). On March 25, 2020, in response to a request from the Governor, the President issued a Major
Disaster Declaration for the State of Texas.
Pursuant to Chapter 418 of the Texas Government Code, the Governor has broad authority to respond to disasters, including suspending any
regulatory statute prescribing the procedures for conducting state business or any order or rule of a state agency that would in any way
prevent, hinder, or delay necessary action in coping with this disaster and issuing executive orders that have the force and effect of law. The
Governor has issued a number of executive orders relating to COVID-19 preparedness and mitigation. These include, for example, the
issuance of Executive Order GA-14 on March 31, 2020, which, among other things, prohibits social gatherings and in-person contact except
where necessary to provide or obtain essential services as defined in State and federal guidance, and the issuance of Executive Order GA-16
on April 17, 2020, which extended the closure of schools throughout the state through for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. Many
of the federal, state and local actions and policies under the aforementioned disaster declarations are focused on limiting instances where the
public can congregate or interact with each other, which affects economic growth within Texas.
Since the disaster declarations were made, the Pandemic has negatively affected travel, commerce, and financial markets locally and globally,
and is widely expected to continue negatively affecting economic growth and financial markets worldwide and within Texas. Stock values
and crude oil prices, in the U.S. and globally, have seen significant declines attributed to COVID-19 concerns. Texas may be particularly at
risk from any global slowdown, given the prevalence of international trade in the state and the risk of contraction in the oil and gas industry
and spillover effects into other industries, including manufacturing.
Such adverse economic conditions, if they continue, could result in declines in city’s sales tax collections, the demand for residential and
commercial property in the area and could reduce or negatively affect property values or homebuilding activity within the city. The
Certificates are secured by the City’s ad valorem tax, and a reduction in property values may require an increase in the ad valorem tax rate
required to pay the Certificates as well as the City’s share of operations and maintenance expenses payable from ad valorem taxes. The City
continues to monitor the spread of COVID-19 and is working with local, state, and national agencies to address the potential impact of
COVID-19 upon the City. While the potential impact of COVID-19 on the City cannot be quantified at this time, the continued outbreak of
COVID-19 could have an adverse effect on the City’s operations and financial condition. The financial and operating data contained herein
are the latest available, but are as of dates and for periods prior to the economic impact of the Pandemic and measures instituted to slow it.
Accordingly, they are not indicative of the economic impact of the Pandemic on the City’s financial condition. See “TAX INFORMATION”
for the City’s current fund balances.
The City can make no representation or give any assurance regarding the short or long-term impact that the outbreak of COVID-19
may have on the City or its finances.

or amendment thereto, and authorize its further use in the reoffering of the Certificates by the Initial Purchaser.

ECONOMIC BACKGROUND
Texas A&M University and System
Texas A&M opened its doors in 1876 as the state’s first public institution of higher learning. Located in College Station, Texas (about
90 miles northwest of Houston and within a two to three-hour drive from Austin and Dallas), Texas A&M’s main campus is home to
over 69,000 students, with more than 508,000 former students worldwide. As one of only 62 members of the prestigious Association
of American Universities (AAU), an association of leading public and private research universities in the United States and Canada,
Texas A&M boasts some of the top programs in academic research and scholarship. Texas A&M and the Texas A&M University
System employ more than 27,000 full and part-time personnel.
Texas A&M is one of only 17 institutions in the nation to hold the triple designation as a land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant university.
In May 2016, the Chancellor of The Texas A&M University System unveiled plans to invest $150 million to create a new research and
development campus to help companies move ideas from the laboratory to the marketplace while also offering a new path toward a
college degree. The facility, to be located at a revamped and renamed Riverside Campus in Brazos County, initially will include a
cluster of seven new buildings and test beds to encourage the private sector to develop secure research facilities adjacent to the System’s
site. The facility, named the RELLIS Campus will focus on robotics, driverless and connected vehicles, advanced manufacturing, large-
scale testing as well as smart power grids and water systems.

George Bush Presidential Library and Museum
The City is the site of the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, located on the campus of Texas A&M University. Texas
A&M provides programs and facilities such as research and instructional programs related to the library and museum, a conference
center, communications center, educational museum/library center, and family-oriented facilities such as a park surrounding the
presidential library and museum. The Presidential Library and Museum is also part of the George Bush Presidential Library Center
which is home to the prestigious Bush School of Government and Public Service.
Century Square
The City continues to experience a sustained period of growth. The growth has resulted in continued retail development, especially in
the Tower Point and Caprock developments in the southern part of the City with new restaurants and other businesses opening and
others under construction to serve the ever growing residential populations in that area of the City. However, that growth has expanded
to the north side of College Station where mixed-used facilities and additional hotels near the Texas A&M campus are under
construction.
One such development is Century Square. This 60-acre development creates a dynamic community center where people congregate
from across the region to experience a walkable, urban destination. The project features premier retail and restaurant establishments,
entertainment venues, 60,000 SF of Class-A office, two full-service hotels: The George and Cavalry Court, luxury apartment homes:
100 Park, and an activated central gathering space.

Athletics is an integral part of College Station. Texas A&M University, along with the City, hosts a multitude of athletic events. Texas
A&M University is the home of Kyle Field, Reed Arena, Olsen Field at Bluebell Park, Aggie Softball Complex, George P. Mitchell
Tennis Center and Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium. Several of Texas A&M teams have won both conference and national titles over the
past five years with every university varsity level team competing in post-season play for the 2015-2016 season. This has positioned
the University to host regional payoffs as well as national championship games. Texas A&M’s move to the Southeastern Conference
(SEC) in 2012 has proved positive for the City. For the Texas A&M’s football team ranked sixth in the nation in average attendance
for the 2019 season with average attendance of 97,459 for home games, according to figures released by the NCAA.
The City’s premiere sport complexes, as well as the ease to get around, makes College Station attractive to a number of high profile
organizations. Over the past several years, Texas Amateur Athletic Federation has chosen College Station to host state tournaments and
events. In addition, the City facilitates four major softball tournaments, multiple soccer tournaments, two 7 on 7 football tournaments
and baseball tournaments throughout the year. The City plans to add 4 synthetic infield & natural grass outfield baseball/softball fields
at the new Texas Independence Ballpark. This is anticipated to allow additional tournaments to be held in this area.
