Proposed Program Delay implementation for neighborhoods outside of Northgate Study gameday parking and traffic through 2021, continued public engagement, and further develop the proposed program Implement ParkMobile system in Northgate District Timeline: 30 – 60 Days Contract with ParkMobile – not to exceed $75,000 for 3 years At approximately 742 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened for Citizen Comments. George Dresser, College Station, stated he agrees that gameday parking will bring in revenue for the City of College Station and he agree that the technology is available to implement Gameday parking with a high degree of automation, but he does not think this is something the residents of College Page 15 of 300 CCM082621 Minutes Page 4 Station want. The proponent of the parking fee has a plan to exempt residents. The program will be a hassle for the residents and a hassle for Community Services. There will be many unintentional mistakes before we all learn how the program works. Just one example, he changed cars or change the vehicle's tag and forget to notify Community Services, a $50 mistake. New student residents will have to learn every semester. Community Services has its plate full and pay parking will not foster any goodwill. We do not want this, nor can he imagine does Community Services want this. The only benefit he sees to Gameday parking is increased revenue for the city. Are we so desperate that we need to implement a program that will irritate visitors and residents and place additional burdens on our Community Services staff? We do not need to do this. There being no comments, the Citizen Comments was closed at 7:43 p.m. Majority of the Council directed staff to move forward with remote pay parking system in Northgate. 7.3. Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding possible amendments to the City's Parkland Dedication Ordinance. Steve Wright, Parks and Recreation Director, stated that staff presented a workshop item on March 25, 2021, on three potential amendments to the Park Land Dedication Ordinance. These amendments included: Reducing the parkland dedication zones, Eliminating the parkland dedication distinctions between neighborhood parks and community parks, and Having a standard review of the fees. Council provided direction at that time, and later requested that Staff also look at additional items, which included: Updating the cost information relating to the average per acre price for land, Ensuring that the park development fee recognizes passive parks, Granting developers up to a 50% credit if they provide private park land and/or amenities on the site, and Granting developers up to a 100% credit if they provide private park land and/or amenities on the site in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Michael Ostrowski, Planning and Development Director, presented three sets of fees: Standard Review of Fees, Average Cost Per Acre, and Recognize Passive Parks in Fee. Mr. Ostrowski also presented credit for private facilities within the city and the ETJ with the proposed amendments of the Parkland Dedication Ordinance. Credit for Private Facilities: Up to 50% if developer provides private park land and/or amenities of the site. Parks would be private and can only be used by residents within the subdivision Additional demand by the subdivision is partially offset by the private park Residents will still use other parks within the zone/city Concern as it relates to future improvements of parks (private and public) Savings as it relates to maintenance Likely still going to be constructed Page 16 of 300 CCM082621 Minutes Page 5 Credit for Private Facilities in ETJ: Up to 100% if developer provides private park land and/or amenities of the site. Already have a reduction in fee ($625 vs. $1,261) o ETJ only has Community Park requirements o Challenge with acquiring land after development Staff reviewed these items and provided a presentation and recommendation on them to seek direction from the City Council. Majority of the Council directed staff to move forward as presented. At 8:40 p.m., the Mayor recessed the Council Meeting. The Council Meeting reconvened at 8:52 p.m. 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.

Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding Ordinance No. 2021-4292 vacating and abandoning a 994 square foot portion of a 10-foot wide Public Utility Easement, a 2,512 square foot portion of a 15-foot wide Public Utility Easement, and a 2,512 square foot portion of a 15-foot wide Right of Way within Lots 1-6, Block ‘C’ of the College Heights Subdivision, according to the plat recorded in Volume 124, Page 259, of the Official Records of Brazos County, Texas. Alma Guerra, Planning and Development, stated that the Right of Way and Easement abandonments are proposed by the applicant to address site constraints recognized during redevelopment of the property. The 994 square foot portion of a 10-foot wide Public Utility Easement of the Right of Way and Easements subject to abandonment are no longer necessary, as there is no need for public access within the right of way and no public infrastructure within either easement. At approximately 9:02 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing. There being no comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 9:02 p.m. Page 18 of 300 CCM082621 Minutes Page 7 MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Maloney and a second by Councilmember Brick, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to adopt Ordinance No. 2020-4292, vacating and abandoning a 994 square foot portion of a 10-foot wide Public Utility Easement, a 2,512 square foot portion of a 15-foot wide Public Utility Easement, and a 2,512 square foot portion of a 15-foot wide Right of Way within Lots 1-6, Block ‘C’ of the College Heights Subdivision, according to the plat recorded in Volume 124, Page 259, of the Official Records of Brazos County, Texas.

Public Hearing, presentation, discussion and possible action regarding Ordinance No. 2021-4293 amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance," Article 4, "Zoning Districts,” Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, by changing the zoning district boundaries from R Rural to WC Wellborn Commercial on approximately one acre located in the Benjamin Graham Subdivision, Block B, Lots 1-6, generally located at 14889- 14895 FM 2154. Jesse Dimeolo, Planning and Development, stated that this request is to rezone approximately 1 acre of land located on FM 2154 (Wellborn Road), between Madison Street and Victoria Avenue, from R Rural to WC Wellborn Commercial. The tract was originally zoned R Rural upon annexation into the City in 2011. This zoning request is in effort to bring the existing businesses into compliance for future development. The applicant has stated that the current R Rural zoning is not the highest and best use for the property. The market price of the land exceeds the allowed use of the property and therefore is not marketable without a rezoning. The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their August 19, 2021, regular meeting where they voted unanimously to recommend approval. Staff also recommends approval of the rezoning. At approximately 9:09 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing. There being no comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 9:09 p.m. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Maloney and a second by Councilmember Harvell, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to adopt Ordinance No. 2020- 4293, amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance," Article 4, "Zoning Districts,” Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, by changing the zoning district boundaries from R Rural to WC Wellborn Commercial on approximately one acre located in the Benjamin Graham Subdivision, Block B, Lots 1-6, generally located at 14889- 14895 FM 2154.

Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a notification of a change order in the amount of $789,970.76 with the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) for the utility relocations for the FM 2818 widening project and authorizing the City Manager to execute the acknowledgement notification. Emily Fisher, Assistant Director Capital Projects, stated that the City of College Station executed an advance funding agreement (AFA) with TXDOT for the widening of FM 2818 within the general limits of FM 2154 (Wellborn Rd) to FM 60 (University Dr/Raymond Stotzer Pkwy) which included relocation of portions of the city’s water infrastructure due to conflicts with the road widening project. Page 19 of 300 CCM082621 Minutes Page 8 This amendment is to cover the cost of a change order for TXDOT to execute with the construction contractor for installation by bore of new 18 inch and 36-inch diameter water transmission lines crossing FM 2818 and the abandoning and grout filling of the existing lines and casing. The costs in the AFA are fixed; however, the city is responsible for any overrun costs because of a change order initiated by the city. In this case the lines could not be constructed as originally proposed by the city. Therefore, the city is responsible for the costs of the new construction method. TXDOT is required to notify the city of these costs, although payment will not be due until the end of the project when an audit of the project is completed. MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Nichols and a second by Councilmember Brick, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to approve a change order in the amount of $789,970.76 with the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) for the utility relocations for the FM 2818 widening project and authorizing the City Manager to execute the acknowledgement notification.

Subsequently, a dispute arose between the parties regarding the agreement. The dispute has not been resolved.

Relationship to Strategic Goals: Good Governance Core Services & Infrastructure Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the resolution. Summary: The City, along with 171 other Mid-Texas cities served by Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division (“Atmos Mid-Tex” or “Company”), is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee (“ACSC”). In 2007, ACSC and Atmos Mid-Tex settled a rate application filed by the Company pursuant to Section 104.301 of the Texas Utilities Code for an interim rate adjustment commonly referred to as a GRIP filing (arising out of the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program legislation). That settlement created a substitute rate review process, referred to as Rate Review Mechanism (“RRM”), as a substitute for future filings under the GRIP statute. Since 2007, there have been several modifications to the original RRM Tariff. The most recent iteration of an RRM Tariff was reflected in an ordinance adopted by ACSC members in 2018. On or about April 1, 2021, the Company filed a rate request pursuant to the RRM Tariff adopted by ACSC members. The Company claimed that its cost-of-service in a test year ending December 31, 2020, entitled it to additional system-wide revenues of $43.4 million. Application of the standards set forth in ACSC’s RRM Tariff reduces the Company’s request to $40.5 million, $29.3 million of which would be applicable to ACSC members. ACSC’s consultants concluded that the system-wide deficiency under the RRM regime should be $22.34 million instead of the claimed $40.5 million, with $16.8 million applicable to ACSC members. Following further negotiations, ACSC's Executive Committee and the Company negotiated a settlement whereby the Company would receive an increase of $22.78 million from ACSC Cities, but with a two-month delay in the Effective Date until December 1, 2021. This should save ACSC cities approximately $3.8 million. ACSC members should take action approving the Resolution before October 1, 2021. Budget & Financial Summary: A bill impact comparison is attached as part of the Staff Report. The impact of the settlement on average residential rates is an increase of $1.28 on a monthly basis, or 2.2 percent. The increase for average commercial usage will be $4.03, or 1.61 percent.

That the findings set forth in this Resolution are hereby in all things approved. Section 2. That, without prejudice to future litigation of any issue identified by ACSC, the City Council finds that the settled amount of an increase in revenues of $22.78 million for ACSC Cities represents a comprehensive settlement of gas utility rate issues affecting the rates, operations, and services offered by Atmos Mid-Tex within the municipal limits arising from Atmos Mid-Tex’s 2021 RRM filing, is in the public interest, and is consistent with the City’s authority under Section 103.001 of the Texas Utilities Code. Section 3. That despite finding Atmos Mid-Tex’s plant-in-service to be reasonable, ACSC is not foreclosed in future cases from evaluating the reasonableness of costs associated with incidents involving leaks of natural gas.

The new tariffs attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, are just and reasonable, and are designed to allow Atmos Mid-Tex to recover annually an additional $22.78 million from customers in ACSC Cities, over the amount allowed under currently approved rates. Such tariffs are hereby adopted. Page 26 of 300 RESOLUTION NO. _______________ 2557/33/8275501 4 Section 5.

ATMOS ENERGY CORP., MID-TEX DIVISION RATE BASE ADJUSTMENTS TEST YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2020 AMORTIZATION OF REGULATORY LIABILITY Page 41 of 300 2557/33/8275500 1 July 21, 2021 STAFF REPORT FOR RESOLUTION BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY The City, along with 171 other Mid-Texas cities served by Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid- Tex Division (“Atmos Mid-Tex” or “Company”), is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee (“ACSC”). In 2007, ACSC and Atmos Mid-Tex settled a rate application filed by the Company pursuant to Section 104.301 of the Texas Utilities Code for an interim rate adjustment commonly referred to as a GRIP filing (arising out of the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program legislation). That settlement created a substitute rate review process, referred to as Rate Review Mechanism (“RRM”), as a substitute for future filings under the GRIP statute. Since 2007, there have been several modifications to the original RRM Tariff. The most recent iteration of an RRM Tariff was reflected in an ordinance adopted by ACSC members in 2018. On or about April 1, 2021, the Company filed a rate request pursuant to the RRM Tariff adopted by ACSC members. The Company claimed that its cost-of-service in a test year ending December 31, 2020, entitled it to additional system-wide revenues of $43.4 million. Application of the standards set forth in ACSC’s RRM Tariff reduces the Company’s request to $40.5 million, $29.3 million of which would be applicable to ACSC members. ACSC’s consultants concluded that the system-wide deficiency under the RRM regime should be $22.34 million instead of the claimed $40.5 million. The amount of the $22.34 million deficiency applicable to ACSC members would be $16.8 million. After the Company reviewed ACSC’s consultants’ report, ACSC’s Executive Committee and the Company negotiated a settlement whereby the Company would receive an increase of $22.78 million from ACSC Cities, but with a two-month delay in the Effective Date until December 1, 2021. This should save ACSC cities approximately $3.8 million. Page 42 of 300 2557/33/8275500 2 The Executive Committee recommends a settlement at $22.78 million. The Effective Date for new rates is December 1, 2021. ACSC members should take action approving the Resolution before October 1, 2021. PROOF OF REVENUES Atmos generated proof that the rate tariffs attached to the Resolution will generate $22.78 million in additional revenues from ACSC Cities. That proof is attached as Attachment 1 to this Staff Report. ACSC consultants have agreed that Atmos’ Proof of Revenues is accurate. BILL IMPACT The impact of the settlement on average residential rates is an increase of $1.28 on a monthly basis, or 2.2 percent. The increase for average commercial usage will be $4.03 or 1.61 percent. A bill impact comparison is attached as Attachment 2. SUMMARY OF ACSC’S OBJECTION TO THE UTILITIES CODE SECTION 104.301 GRIP PROCESS ACSC strongly opposed the GRIP process because it constitutes piecemeal ratemaking by ignoring declining expenses and increasing revenues while rewarding the Company for increasing capital investment on an annual basis. The GRIP process does not allow any review of the reasonableness of capital investment and does not allow cities to participate in the Railroad Commission’s review of annual GRIP filings or allow recovery of Cities’ rate case expenses. The Railroad Commission undertakes a mere administrative review of GRIP filings (instead of a full hearing) and rate increases go into effect without any material adjustments. In ACSC’s view, the GRIP process unfairly raises customers’ rates without any regulatory oversight. In contrast, the RRM process has allowed for a more comprehensive rate review and annual evaluation of expenses and revenues, as well as capital investment. RRM SAVINGS OVER GRIP Page 43 of 300 2557/33/8275500 3 While residents outside municipal limits must pay rates governed by GRIP, there are some cities served by Atmos Mid-Tex that chose to remain under GRIP rather than adopt RRM. Additionally, the City of Dallas adopted a variation of RRM which is referred to as DARR. When new rates become effective on December 1, 2021, ACSC residents will maintain an economic monthly advantage over GRIP and DARR rates. See Attachment 3. EXPLANATION OF “BE IT RESOLVED” PARAGRAPHS: 1. This section approves all findings in the Resolution. 2. This section adopts the RRM rate tariffs and finds the adoption of the new rates to be just, reasonable, and in the public interest. 3. This section makes it clear that Cities may challenge future costs associated with gas leaks like the explosion in North Dallas or the evacuation in Georgetown. 4. This section finds that existing rates are unreasonable. Such finding is a necessary predicate to establishment of new rates. The new tariffs will permit Atmos Mid-Tex to recover an additional $22.78 million from ACSC Cities. 5. This section approves an exhibit that establishes a benchmark for pensions and retiree medical benefits to be used in future rate cases or RRM filings. 6. This section approves an exhibit to be used in future rate cases or RRM filings regarding recovery of regulatory liabilities, such as excess deferred income taxes. 7. This section requires the Company to reimburse the City for expenses associated with review of the RRM filing, settlement discussions, and adoption of the Resolution approving new rate tariffs. 8. This section repeals any resolution or ordinance that is inconsistent with the Resolution. 9. This section finds that the meeting was conducted in compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 551. Page 44 of 300 2557/33/8275500 4 10. This section is a savings clause, which provides that if any section is later found to be unconstitutional or invalid, that finding shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remaining provisions of this Resolution. This section further directs that the remaining provisions of the Resolution are to be interpreted as if the offending section or clause never existed. 11. This section provides for an effective date upon passage. December 1, 2021 represents a two month delay in the Effective Date established by the RRM tariff. 12. This section directs that a copy of the signed Resolution be sent to a representative of the Company and legal counsel for ACSC. CONCLUSION The Legislature’s GRIP process allowed gas utilities to receive annual rate increases associated with capital investments. The RRM process has proven to result in a more efficient and less costly (both from a consumer rate impact perspective and from a ratemaking perspective) than the GRIP process. Given Atmos Mid-Tex’s claim that its historic cost of service should entitle it to recover $43.4 million in additional system-wide revenues, the RRM settlement at $22.78 million for ACSC Cities reflects substantial savings to ACSC Cities.

Investments will be purchased with the intent of holding to maturity and will only be sold early under exceptional circumstances. In purchasing investments, the investment officer will attempt to follow a ladder strategy to ensure that the portfolio will have at least one investment maturing every month. Investment priorities are as follows: 1. Suitability - Any investment allowed under the Investment Policy is suitable. 2. Preservation and Safety of Principal - Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to insure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. 3. Liquidity - The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operational requirements that might reasonably be anticipated. 4. Marketability - Investments should have an active and efficient secondary market to enable the City to liquidate investments prior to the maturity if the need should arise. 5. Diversification - The Investment Officer will attempt to maintain a diversified portfolio with regard to security type, financial institution providing the security, and maturity. 6. Yield - The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining the maximum rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio. The City of College Station also has an irrevocable trust relating to its Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) obligations.

POLICY It is the policy of the City of College Station, Texas (“City”) to invest public funds in a manner, which will provide the highest investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all federal, state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds. II. SCOPE This investment policy applies to all the financial assets held by the City. These funds are defined in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and include: General Fund Special Revenue Funds Debt Service Fund Capital Projects Funds Enterprise Funds Internal Service Funds Any new funds created by the City will be subject to this policy unless specifically exempted by the City Council. To maximize the effective investment of assets, all funds mentioned above will pool their cash balances for investment purposes. The income derived from investing activities will be distributed to the various funds based on calculation of their average balances. III. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES The City of College Station shall manage and invest its cash with three primary objectives, listed in order of priority: safety, liquidity and yield. The safety of the principal invested always remains the primary objective. Safety Safety of Principal is the foremost objective of the City. Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to insure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. Page 66 of 300 5 Liquidity The City’s investment portfolio will remain liquid to enable the City to meet all operational requirements that might reasonably be anticipated. Yield The City shall invest funds in investments that earn a competitive market yield consistent with stated objectives. For bond proceeds to which arbitrage restrictions apply, the primary objectives shall be to obtain a fair market yield and to minimize the costs associated with the investment of such funds within the constraints of the investment policy and applicable bond covenants.

The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the “prudent person” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

Page 70 of 300 9 VI. INVESTMENT PARAMETERS Maximum Maturities To the extent possible, the City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than five years from the date of purchase. Additionally, the City will maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of two years or less. Diversification It is the intent of the City to diversify the investment instruments within the portfolio to avoid incurring unreasonable risks inherent in over-investing in specific instruments, individual financial institutions or maturities.

Uniform Net Capital Rule - SEC Rule 15C3-1 – Securities and Exchange Commission requirement that member firms as well as nonmember broker-dealers in securities maintain a maximum ration of indebtedness to liquid capital of 15 to 1: also called net capital rule and net capital ratio. Indebtedness covers all money owned to a firm, including margin loans and commitments to purchase securities. This is one reason new public issues are spread among members of underwriting syndicates. Liquid capital includes cash and assets easily converted into cash. Volatility - A degree of fluctuation in the price and valuation of securities. Volatility Risk Rating - A rating system to clearly indicate the level of volatility and other non- credit risks associated with securities and certain bond funds. The ratings for bond funds range from those that have extremely low sensitivity to changing market conditions and offer the greatest stability of the returns ("aaa" by S&P; "V-1" by Fitch) to those that are highly sensitive with currently identifiable market volatility risk ("ccc-" by S&P, "V-10" by Fitch). Weighted Average Maturity (WAM) - The average maturity of all the securities that comprise a portfolio. According to SEC rule 2a-7, the WAM for SEC registered money market mutual funds may not exceed 90 days and no one security may have a maturity that exceeds 397 days. Yield - The current rate of return on an investment security generally expressed as a percentage of the security's current price. Yield-to-call (YTC) - The rate of return an investor earns from a bond assuming the bond is redeemed (called) prior to its nominal maturity date. Yield Curve - A graphic representation that depicts the relationship at a given point in time between yields and maturity for bonds that are identical in every way except maturity. A normal yield curve may be alternatively referred to as a positive yield curve. Yield-to-maturity - The rate of return yielded by a debt security held to maturity when both interest payments and the investor's potential capital gain or loss are included in the calculation of return. Zero-coupon Securities - Security that is issued at a discount and makes no periodic interest payments. The rate of return consists of a gradual accretion of the principal of the security and is payable at par upon maturity.

Purpose of Funding Policy Adoption of a formal policy defining priorities and guidelines for the funding of pension benefits and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) has become a best practice for public retirement systems. Governing boards and plan sponsors can use a formal funding policy to communicate funding goals and to provide a plan actuary with guidance in determining the requisite contribution rates to meet those goals. For the City of College Station (the City), the adoption of this policy is intended to:  Define the goals and objectives of funding the City of College Station Postretirement Medical, Dental and Life Insurance Program (the OPEB Plan),    Ensure the funding objectives consider the current recommendations of the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) and the Conference of Consulting Actuaries Public Plans Community (CCA PPC)1,  Review those objectives against the Texas Pension Review Board (the PRB) funding requirements and Texas Government Code §802.2011, even though such requirements only apply to Public Retirement (Pension) Systems2,  Enhance communications to plan members and retirees regarding the City’s funding strategy, and  Provide funding policy guidance to current and future City managers. B. Primary Funding Objective The primary objective of the funding policy is to fully fund the long-term cost of benefits provided under the terms of the OPEB Plan through disciplined and timely accumulation of contributions and prudent investment of assets, where such investments are governed by the guidelines of a separate Investment Policy Statement. C. Funding Priorities and Guidelines The following priorities and guidelines seek to achieve the Primary Funding Objective:  100% Payment of Benefits – Contributions and current plan assets must be sufficient to pay for all benefits expected to be paid to members and their beneficiaries when due. 1 The GFOA recommendations are written for both Public Pension Plans and Public OPEB Plans. The CCA PPC recommendations are written for Public Pension Plans, but the CCA PPC white paper states that the general policy objectives presented are applicable to funding OPEB plans with consideration given to distinctive features applicable to OPEB Plans. Accordingly, these GFOA and CCA PPC recommendations are useful guidelines for funding OPEB Plans. 2 Although the PRB requirements do not apply to OPEB plans, they are useful in comparing to the GFOA and CCA recommendations. Page 88 of 300 FUNDING POLICY FOR CITY OF COLLEGE STATION POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM CITY OF COLLEGE STATION 2 APRIL 2021  Target a Funded Ratio of 100% – The funded ratio shall be determined based on the ratio of:  the Plan Assets (which may be determined using a smoothing methodology discussed below) to  the Actuarial Accrued Liability (determined using the selected actuarial Cost Method as discussed below and all other funding valuation assumptions).  Contribution Stability and Sound Financing of Benefits – The financing of benefits should be based on sound actuarial principles. The City desires to minimize year-to-year employer contribution volatility to the extent reasonably possible while understanding that a sound funding policy may require employer contribution fluctuations from year-to-year in order to achieve and maintain the sound actuarial financing of benefits.  Intergenerational Equity – Whenever possible, the costs of benefits are managed such that future taxpayers are not burdened with costs associated with a previous generation of City employees’ service, and such costs are managed in a manner consistent with the principle to pay all benefits when due and without reduction.    Benefit Enhancements – Amendments to the OPEB Plan that improve plan benefits shall not be permitted unless the plan remains above 90% funded following the amendment. However, if the employer funds the full amount of the benefit enhancement at the time the enhancement is adopted, then the 90% funding threshold requirement shall be waived. D. City’s OPEB Funding Policy   The Funding Policy determines the manner in which plan liabilities and assets are measured for purposes of determining the annual contributions to the OPEB Plan. Typically, funding policies require the annual Normal Cost (i.e., the present value of the current year benefit accruals) plus a portion of the Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) (i.e., the excess of Actuarial Accrued Liability over Plan Assets) to be funded via an amortization payment.   In establishing this Funding Policy, the City considered published guidance from the Texas Pension Review Board, the Conference of Consulting Actuaries Public Plans Community and the Government Finance Officers Association. A detailed summary of this guidance, including many of the terms and concepts utilized in the Funding Policy below, is located in the Appendix of this document.   Effective with the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2021, the City will use the following Funding Policy based on the results of the preceding GASB No 74 valuation (e.g., the January 1, 2021 valuation for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2021): Page 89 of 300 FUNDING POLICY FOR CITY OF COLLEGE STATION POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM CITY OF COLLEGE STATION 3 APRIL 2021 1. Methods – The City shall use the following methods. a. Recommended Contribution – The City shall determine the annual contribution using the Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC) Method. i. Funded Ratio Less Than 95% – If the ratio of Plan Assets to the Actuarial Accrued Liability is less than 95%, the ADC shall be determined as the sum of the Normal Cost plus an amortization of the Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) as further discussed below. In addition, OPEB benefit payments will be paid directly by the City, and the City will not receive reimbursement from the OPEB Prefunding Trust. ii. Funded Ratio Between 95% and 100% – If the ratio of Plan Assets to the Actuarial Accrued Liability is at least 95% and less than 100%, then: 1. if there is any portion of the amortization period of the UAL from the prior valuation (i.e., one or two years remaining), then the ADC shall be determined as the sum of the Normal Cost plus an amortization of the UAL; or 2. if there is no amortization of the UAL remaining from the prior valuation (i.e., there are zero years remaining), then the ADC shall be equal to sum of the Normal Cost plus interest on the UAL at the valuation interest rate. In addition, OPEB benefit payments will be paid directly by the City, but the City will receive reimbursement from the OPEB Prefunding Trust. iii. Funded Ratio 100% or Greater – If the ratio of Plan Assets to the Actuarial Accrued Liability is at least 100%, the ADC shall be equal to the Normal Cost and there shall not be an adjustment for the amortization of the UAL. Furthermore, the amount of the Normal Cost shall be offset by Plan Assets in excess of the Actuarial Accrued Liability, but such offset shall not result in an ADC of less than $0. In addition, OPEB benefit payments will be paid directly by the City, but the City will receive reimbursement from the OPEB Prefunding Trust. Each fiscal year, the City budgets a contribution for the OPEB Prefunding Trust (e.g., at the date of adoption of this Funding Policy, the City has budgeted approximately $1,332,000 for FY22). To the extent that the budgeted OPEB contribution exceeds the ADC described under any of the above scenarios, then Page 90 of 300 FUNDING POLICY FOR CITY OF COLLEGE STATION POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM CITY OF COLLEGE STATION 4 APRIL 2021 the contribution to the OPEB Prefunding Trust shall exceed the ADC but not in excess of the amount required to achieve a Funded Ratio of 100% plus the amount of the Normal Cost. In this event, any remaining portion of the budgeted contribution shall be contributed to the Texas Municipal Retirement System to fund the City’s pension benefits. b. Cost Method – The actuarial cost method shall continue to be the Entry Age Normal Level Percent of Pay method. c. Asset Method – The City shall use the Market Value of Assets rather than a smoothed value of assets. Market Value of Assets as of the valuation date equals Fair Value plus any receivable contributions made or to be made for a prior plan year. The Plan Assets shall be set equal to the Market Value of Assets. d. Amortization Method – The amortization method shall be determined as follows: Amortization Method City’s Method Closed Period vs. Open Period Closed Period Level Dollar vs. Level Percent Level Dollar Single vs. Layered Single Amortization Period 3 years 2. Other Considerations a. Actuarial Experience Studies - The City participates in to the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) which already performs actuarial experience studies at least once every five (5) years. Such experience studies examine the Retirement System’s actual experience relative to the expected experience based on the actuarial assumptions in effect. The OPEB plan will incorporate any new demographic assumptions and economic assumptions applicable to the OPEB Plan that are adopted by TMRS as a result of an experience study. The OPEB Plan’s investment return assumption (i.e., the discount rate) shall be reevaluated at the same time as each TMRS experience study, and the City shall adopt a new investment return assumption, if warranted at such time. b. Risk-Sharing – If the ADC exceeds the amount of the budgeted OPEB contribution or if the ADC becomes otherwise untenable, then the City reserves the right to examine any combination of the following approaches to adjust the ADC or otherwise restore the ADC to a sustainable level: Page 91 of 300 FUNDING POLICY FOR CITY OF COLLEGE STATION POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM CITY OF COLLEGE STATION 5 APRIL 2021 i.adjusting the funding policy (e.g., use longer amortization periods that remain within the recommended ranges) while still meeting the Primary Funding Objectives, ii.increasing the retirees’ cost-sharing contributions to the OPEB Plan for medical and dental coverage to restore the ADC to a sustainable level, iii.reducing future benefits to restore the ADC to a sustainable level, and/or iv.limiting the contribution to the amount of the budgeted OPEB contribution. The City reserves the right to amend, modify or replace this Funding Policy. Page 92 of 300 FUNDING POLICY FOR CITY OF COLLEGE STATION POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM CITY OF COLLEGE STATION 6 APRIL 2021 Glossary of Actuarial Terms Actuarial Accrued Liability or Accrued Liability (AAL) This is computed differently under different actuarial cost methods. Generally, the Actuarial Accrued Liability or Accrued Liability represents the portion of the Present Value of Future Benefits attributed to periods of service preceding the valuation date. Actuarial Gain (Loss) A measure of the difference between actual experience and that expected based on the actuarial assumptions during the period between two actuarial valuation dates, as determined in accordance with the particular actuarial cost method used. Actuarial Value of Assets (AVA) The value of assets used by an actuary for an actuarial valuation. The AVA can be set equal to the Market Value of Assets, or the AVA can be set equal to a smoothed value of assets that is designed to smooth volatility in the Market Value of Assets over a period of years (e.g., a three to ten year period). Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method An actuarial cost method under which the Present Value of Future Benefits of each individual included in an actuarial valuation is allocated on a level basis over the earnings or service of the individual between entry age and assumed exit ages. The portion of this actuarial present value allocated to the year of service during the valuation year is called the Normal Cost. The portion of this present value not provided for at a valuation date by the Present Value of Future Normal Costs is called the Accrued Liability. Market Value of Assets Market Value of Assets as of a valuation date equals Fair Value plus any receivable contributions made or to be made for a prior plan year. Normal Cost Computed differently under different actuarial cost methods, the Normal Cost generally represents the portion of the actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits attributed to the current year of service for active employees. OPEB Plan An OPEB Plan or Other Post-Employment Benefit Plan is a plan that provides post-retirement benefits other than pension benefits. Such plans typically provide post-retirement medical coverage, including prescription drug coverage, dental coverage and life insurance benefits. Plan Assets Used interchangeably with Actuarial Value of Assets. See definition of Actuarial Value of Assets above. Page 93 of 300 FUNDING POLICY FOR CITY OF COLLEGE STATION POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM CITY OF COLLEGE STATION 7 APRIL 2021 Present Value of Future Benefits Future benefits include all benefits estimated to be payable to plan members (retirees and beneficiaries, terminated employees entitled to benefits but not yet receiving them, and current active members) as a result of their service through the valuation date and their expected future service. The actuarial Present Value of Future Benefits as of the valuation date is the present value of the cost to finance benefits payable in the future, discounted to reflect the expected effects of the time value (present value) of money and the probabilities of payment. Present Value of Future Normal Costs The difference between the Present Value of Future Benefits and the Actuarial Accrued Liability under a given actuarial cost method. Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) The excess, if any, of the Actuarial Accrued Liability over the Actuarial Value of Assets. Page 94 of 300 FUNDING POLICY FOR CITY OF COLLEGE STATION POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM CITY OF COLLEGE STATION 8 APRIL 2021 Appendix Published Guidance on Key Elements of a Funding Policy The Funding Policy determines the manner in which plan liabilities and assets are measured for purposes of determining the annual contributions to the OPEB Plan. Typically, funding policies require the annual Normal Cost (i.e., the present value of the current year benefit accruals) plus a portion of the Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) (i.e., the excess of Actuarial Accrued Liability over Plan Assets) to be funded via an amortization payment.   Published guidance by the following entities has been considered in developing the Funding Policy: 1. Texas PRB’s “Guidance for Developing a Funding Policy” adopted on October 17, 2019 – This guidance is intended to assist public entities in Texas in developing a policy that meets the requirements of Texas Government Code §802.2011 which does not apply to OPEB plans, but is useful to consider when establishing a funding policy for a OPEB plan; 2. Conference of Consulting Actuaries Public Plans Community (CCA PPC) “Actuarial Funding Policies and Practices for Public Pension Plans” published in October 2014 – This publication is a “white paper” that develops principal elements and parameters of actuarial funding policy for U.S. public pension plans. The white paper states, “While this white paper develops guidance primarily for pension plans, we believe the general policy objectives presented here are applicable to the funding of OPEB plans as well.” The guidance offered in the white paper “is not intended to supplant or replace the applicable Actuarial Standards of Practice (ASOPs)” and is “nonbinding and advisory only”, but is intended as advice to actuaries and retirement boards in setting funding policy. The white paper develops a Level Cost Allocation Model that recommends actuarial funding methods for measuring both plan liabilities and plan assets, as well as recommends amortization periods for funding the UAL. These recommendations are discussed further below; and 3. Government Finance Officers Association’s Best Practice “Sustainable Funding Practices for Defined Benefit Pensions and Other Postemployment Benefits” approved by the GFOA’s Executive Board in January 2016 – This paper includes recommendations for best practices for adopting a funding policy for Pension and OPEB plans and incorporates by reference the GFOAs’ Best Practice “Core Elements of Funding Policy” published in 2013 which also recommends parameters for a funding policy. All three sources of published guidance discuss the following key elements of a funding policy.  Recommended Contribution – There are two methods used to determine recommended employer contributions to retirement plans: Page 95 of 300 FUNDING POLICY FOR CITY OF COLLEGE STATION POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM CITY OF COLLEGE STATION 9 APRIL 2021  Fixed Rate Method – The Fixed Rate method determines the annual employer contribution as a constant percentage (i.e., a fixed rate) of payroll. This method is used to minimize volatility in the contribution amount and does not vary from year- to-year unless certain conditions are met.    Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC) Method – The ADC is determined as the sum of the Normal Cost plus an amortization of the UAL. The ADC changes each year as the Normal Cost and UAL fluctuate. This volatility permits the plan funding to be adjusted as needed in order to continue funding towards 100% over a set period of time. As discussed below, the Normal Cost and Actuarial Accrued Liability are determined based upon the actuarial Cost Method that is selected, and the Plan Assets can either be determined using Market Value or a smoothed Actuarial Value of Assets. Lastly, the period(s) over which the UAL is amortized as well as the methods of setting the period(s) (open period vs. closed period and level dollar amortization vs. level percent of pay amortization) are also key components in the determination of the ADC. The Texas PRB and GFOA recommend using the ADC method. The CCA PPC white paper is written solely in the context of the ADC method; however, the white paper indicates that plans that use the Fixed Rate method should also develop an ADC rate for comparison. Similarly, the Texas PRB recommends that if a Fixed Rate method is used, then an ADC rate should be used as a benchmark for determining if the Fixed Rate is reasonable, as well as to identify conditions in which the Fixed Rate should be changed to move towards the ADC rate either via changes to the rate or benefit reductions.  Cost Method – The actuarial cost method is used to allocate the Present Value of Future Benefits to past, current and future service periods.  Actuarial Accrued Liability – This is the portion of the Present Value of Future Benefits assigned to past service (i.e., service before the actuarial valuation date).  Normal Cost – This is the portion of the Present Value of Future Benefits that is assigned to the current year of service (i.e., it is the present value of the current year’s accruals).  Present Value of Future Normal Costs – This is the portion the Present Value of Future Benefits that is assigned to future service after the valuation year (i.e., it represents the present value of future years’ accruals). The PRB, the CCA PPC and the GFOA all recommend that plan liabilities be determined using the Entry Age Normal Level Percent actuarial cost method for plans with pay-related benefits. Although the City’s OPEB Plan benefits are not pay- related, GASB Nos. 74/75 require the use of the Entry Age Normal Level Percent actuarial Page 96 of 300 FUNDING POLICY FOR CITY OF COLLEGE STATION POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM CITY OF COLLEGE STATION 10 APRIL 2021 cost method. This method funds each individual’s benefits over their career as a level percent of pay.  Asset Method – Rather than use the Market Value of Assets in each annual valuation as the measure of Plan Assets, an Actuarial Value of Assets (AVA) can be used to smooth investment gains and losses and thus reduce year-to-year volatility in developing a funding policy contribution. Some AVA methods also place a corridor around the Market Value of Assets to limit the maximum amount of the smoothing during periods in which the market has been very volatile. The PRB, the CCA PPC and the GFOA have various recommended ranges for the length of the period over which assets can be smoothed, but all three entities indicate that a 5-year smoothing period is reasonable, with the GFOA stating that a period of 5 years or less is “ideal”. Furthermore, the CCA PPC and GFOA neither recommend nor discourage a corridor for a 5-year smoothing period (but they do recommend corridors for smoothing periods in excess of 5 years), while the PRB does not state a position on this matter.  Amortization Method – The amortization method determines the manner and period over which the Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) is amortized.  Level Dollar vs. Level Percent – The UAL can be amortized as a:  Level Dollar amount, where the amortization installment is fixed each year, or  Level Percent amount, where the amortization installment increases each year as payroll increases, but this can sometimes result in negative amortization.  Open Period vs. Closed Period – The UAL can be amortized over an:  Open Period, whereby the amortization period is the same each year (e.g., a 5-year Open Period amortization would use a 5-year amortization for the January 1, 2021 valuation, followed by another 5-year open period on January 1, 2022 and so on without the 5-year period ever changing), or  Closed Period, whereby the amortization period reduces each successive period (e.g., a 5-year Closed Period amortization would use a 5-year amortization for the January 1, 2021 valuation, followed by a 4-year Closed Period on January 1, 2022 and so on until the final year of the amortization is reached in the 5th year).  Single Amortization vs. Layered Amortization – The UAL can be amortized using: Page 97 of 300 FUNDING POLICY FOR CITY OF COLLEGE STATION POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM CITY OF COLLEGE STATION 11 APRIL 2021  Single Amortization – Under the Single Amortization method, the full amount of the UAL is amortized over a single period each year.  Layered Amortization – Under the Layered Amortization method, different amortization layers of the UAL are established at each actuarial valuation, and the sum of the layers is equal to the full UAL. In addition, within a single valuation, multiple layers of UAL can be established for different sources of changes in the UAL. The Layered Amortization method requires that a new amortization base (or layer) be created each year for Actuarial Experience Gains/Losses that occur during the year. In addition, new amortization layers are created in years in which actuarial assumptions or methods are changed and in years in which plan amendments are enacted. Creating a new amortization layer for each year reduces the volatility of the amortization of the UAL relative to the Single Amortization method, particularly as the Closed Period becomes shorter if a Closed Period amortization method is used. In addition, different amortization periods can be used for different types of layers created in years in which actuarial assumptions or methods are changed and in years in which plan amendments are enacted. This allows the funding of each layer to be better aligned with an appropriate amortization period. Page 98 of 300 FUNDING POLICY FOR CITY OF COLLEGE STATION POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM CITY OF COLLEGE STATION 12 APRIL 2021 As shown in the tables below, the Texas PRB, CCA PPC and GFOA all recommend a Layered Amortization approach with Closed Periods but with different amortization periods and different recommendations for Level Dollar versus Level Percent. Method Amortization Methodology Texas PRB CCA PPC GFOA Closed Period vs. Open Period Closed Period Closed Period Closed Period Level Dollar vs. Level Percent Level Dollar1 Level Percent2 Either Single vs. Layered Layered Layered Layered Source of Amortization Layers Amortization Period Texas PRB1 CCA PPC2 GFOA Actuarial Experience Gain/Loss 10 to 25 years 15 to 20 years 15 to 25 years5 Assumption and Method Changes 10 to 25 years 15 to 25 years 15 to 25 years5 Plan Amendments 10 to 25 years 10 to 15 years3 15 to 25 years5 Transition to New Policy Not discussed Up to 30 years4 Not discussed 1 The Texas PRB indicates that “level dollar amounts are preferable unless payroll is expected to decrease in the future”. The Texas PRB also states that 10 to 25 years is the preferable range, and while it indicates that a layered approach is acceptable, it does not provide separate preferred ranges for each of the layers. 2 The white paper indicates that “level dollar could be appropriate for sponsors and plans that are particularly averse to future cost increases, e.g., utilities setting rates for current rate payers.” Furthermore, the white paper states “level dollar is generally faster amortization than level percent of pay so longer periods may be reasonable.” 3 The white paper recommends that Plan Amendments be amortized over the actual remaining active future service for amendments affecting active members (where 15 years can be used as an approximation) or over actual remaining retiree life expectancy for amendments affecting inactive members (where 10 years can be used as an approximation). 4 The white paper indicates that transition policies would allow current fixed period amortization layers with periods not to exceed 30 years to continue with new amortization layers subject to recommended guidelines. 5 GFOA states that amortization periods should “ideally fall in the 15-20 year range” but “never exceed 25 years”.  Other Considerations – The Texas PRB, CCA PPC and GFOA each recommend other considerations to manage growth in plan liabilities and mitigate other risks.  Actuarial Experience Studies - An actuarial experience study examines a Retirement Plan’s actual demographic and economic experience relative to the expected experience based on the actuarial assumptions used in an actuarial valuation. Adjustments should be made to the actuarial assumptions whenever actual plan experience deviates materially from the assumptions in order to produce the best long-term estimate and to better align the contributions with the long-term expected cost of the plan. Page 99 of 300 FUNDING POLICY FOR CITY OF COLLEGE STATION POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM CITY OF COLLEGE STATION 13 APRIL 2021 The GFOA recommends an actuarial experience study be conducted at least once every five years; the Texas PRB indicates that the frequency of actuarial experience studies can be included in the funding policy; and the CCA PPC does not address assumption selection in its white paper.  Risk Mitigation Strategies – Other strategies can be implemented to mitigate risks, such as the risk of large contribution increases year-to-year, sharing risks with employees via increased employee contributions or benefit reductions in certain scenarios. Managing growth in plan liabilities via restrictions on plan amendments should also be considered. The Texas PRB, CCA PPC and GFOA all suggest various strategies for mitigating risks and managing growth in plan liabilities, and the referenced publications for each of these bodies suggest incorporating some risk mitigation strategies into a plan’s funding policy.

BKD, LLP CITY OF COLLEGE STATION By: By: Printed Name: City Manager Title: Date:________________ Date: APPROVED: By: City Attorney Date:________________ By: Assistant City Manager/CFO Date:________________ Partner 8/25/2021 Amanda Eaves 8/26/2021 8/26/2021 Page 153 of 300 August 20, 2021 Honorable Mayor Karl Mooney and Members of the City Council Mr. Bryan Woods, City Manager Mr. Jeff Kersten, Assistant City Manager City of College Station, Texas 1101 Texas Avenue College Station, Texas 77840 We are pleased to confirm the arrangements of our engagement and the nature of the services we will provide to City of College Station, Texas (the City). ENGAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE We will audit the basic financial statements of City of College Station, Texas as of and for the year ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements. Our audit will be conducted with the objectives of: ✓ Expressing an opinion on the financial statements ✓ Issuing a report on your compliance based on the audit of your financial statements. ✓ Issuing a report on your internal control over financial reporting based on the audit of your financial statements. ✓ Expressing an opinion on your compliance, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of your major federal award programs. ✓ Issuing a report on your internal control over compliance based on the audit of your compliance with the types of compliance requirements that are applicable to each of your major federal award programs. ✓ Issuing a report on your schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Page 154 of 300 City of College Station, Texas August 20, 2021 Page 2 OUR RESPONSIBILITIES We will conduct our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS), the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards require that we plan and perform: ✓ The audit of the financial statements to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. ✓ The audit of compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement applicable to each major federal award program to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether noncompliance having a direct and material effect on a major federal award program occurred. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of internal control, an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements or noncompliance having a direct and material effect may not be detected exists, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with GAAS. In making our risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the City’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. However, we will communicate to you in writing concerning any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal control relevant to the audit of the financial statements that we have identified during the audit. Also, in the future, procedures could become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in design or operation. Two or more people may also circumvent controls, or management may override the system. We are available to perform additional procedures with regard to fraud detection and prevention at your request, subject to completion of our normal engagement acceptance procedures. The actual terms and fees of such an engagement would be documented in a separate letter to be signed by you and BKD. Page 155 of 300 City of College Station, Texas August 20, 2021 Page 3 Amanda Eaves, Partner, is responsible for supervising the engagement and authorizing the signing of the report or reports. We will issue a written report upon completion of our audit of City’s financial statements. Our report will be addressed to the Mayor and City Council of College Station, Texas. You are responsible to distribute our reports to other officials who have legal oversight authority or those responsible for acting on audit findings and recommendations, and to others authorized to receive such reports. We cannot provide assurance that an unmodified opinion will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary for us to modify our opinion, add an emphasis of matter or other matter paragraph(s), or withdraw from the engagement. If we discover conditions that may prohibit us from issuing a standard report, we will notify you as well. In such circumstances, further arrangements may be necessary to continue our engagement. We will also express an opinion on whether the combining and individual fund statements and schedules, and budgetary comparison schedules (“supplementary information”) is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES Our audit will be conducted on the basis that management OR, where appropriate, management and those charged with governance acknowledge and understand that they have responsibility: 1.

IMPLEMENTATION OF FIDUCIARY ACTIVITIES STANDARD Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with retrospective application in the year the update is first applied. The Statement is expected to significantly change how entities evaluate and report fiduciary activities.

Assistance and additional time as a result of the adoption are not included within our standard engagement fees. Our fees as a result of the adoption of the Standard will be based on time expended and will vary based on the level of assistance and procedures required. We will need input and assistance from the accounting department throughout the process of implementation. Page 159 of 300 City of College Station, Texas August 20, 2021 Page 7 IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW LEASES STANDARD Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87, Leases, is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2021. Early application is encouraged. Statement No. 87 establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right -to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources. Assistance and additional time as a result of the adoption of the Statement are not included within our standard engagement fees.

All devices are to be deployed and ready for operation when traffic control at George Bush/Wellborn Road is activated and officers are ready to move traffic. Holleman @ Wellborn Stage all traffic control devices and wait until 4th quarter to deploy. George Bush Drive: The details below are designed to allow transit operations to continue during all portions of the deployment operation; the order and timing of intersection closing is important. Median Openings of George Bush between Olsen Blvd and Barbara Bush Drive •Median openings at Barbara Bush and the Pearce Pavilion can be closed at half time. •Median opening at Reed House can be closed just before Penberthy closure George Bush @ FM 2818 •Stage all traffic control devices and wait until 4th quarter to close off intersection. Stage all traffic control devices at Penberthy, Olsen and Marion Pugh intersections and wait until 4th quarter. City of College Station Public Works, in coordination with Texas A&M Transportation will make decision to deploy remaining George Bush traffic control and George Bush/Wellborn intersection at some time during 4th quarter. When decision is made: 1.Close George Bush @ FM 2818 2.Close George Bush median opening at Reed House 3.Close Olsen Blvd – set up dual right turn from southbound Olsen to westbound George Bush; allow any westbound George Bush traffic to proceed west. Officers must be at the Olsen and Marion Pugh intersections before being closed. 4.Set up Marion Pugh intersection and two-way flow to Callaway House a.Texas A&M Transit will continue normal operations until beginning of Step 5; buses will wait in westbound George Bush curb lane 5.George Bush @ Penberthy •Close Penberthy median opening. 6.Begin George Bush contraflow operations – VIP traffic (only) allowed across railroad tracks on westbound George Bush and moves to eastbound Bush Drive roadway at Olsen Blvd intersection. George Bush @ Wellborn Rd. Stage all traffic control devices and wait until 4th quarter. Officers must be at the intersection before closing. City of College Station Public Works, in coordination with Texas A&M Transportation will make decision to deploy George Bush/Wellborn intersection traffic control at some time during 4th quarter. As noted by the arrow on the plan sheet, there will be eastbound and westbound bus only lanes along George Bush Drive. The eastbound bus only lane will cross between the cones used to delineate the southbound Wellborn Road travel lanes through the intersection. The two cones on either side of the eastbound bus only lane need to be spaced 10 ft apart. The remainder of the cones are to be spaced per the plan sheet. Center of George Bush median to be closed at halftime, close everything along the center of George Bush Dr. Penberthy intersection will be the exception, and left open until the beginning of the 4th quarter. Removal Plan While it is not required, it is anticipated that 3 to 4 crews will be needed to quickly pick up the traffic control devices. Below is the plan for picking up the traffic control devices. Alternatives for more efficient methods of picking up the traffic control devices must be submitted to the City for approval. However, the pick-up of the traffic control devices does not start until the City of College Station representative provides the instruction to do so. A contractor representative should be with the College Station representative, or at least be available by radio to receive the go ahead to begin the pickup process. Crew #1 A crew should start picking up the traffic control devices at the Wellborn Road and University Drive intersection, then travel to the Stotzer Blvd/FM 2818 interchange to pick up grabber cones at the westbound to southbound FM 2818 ramp. Then, work down to the northbound FM 2818 exit ramp to FM 60 and pick up the devices. After this area has been picked up, the crew can pick up the traffic control devices at the FM 2818/Luther intersection followed by the Luther/Penberthy intersection. The crew should continue north on Penberthy picking up the traffic control devices along the way. If needed, this crew can assist Crew #3 in picking up the devices along George Bush, but only after Crew #3 arrives at the George Bush/Penberthy intersection. Crews #2 & #3 Two crews should be ready to start picking up the traffic control devices at the Wellborn Road and George Bush intersection because you will need to be able to clear the intersection within 7 minutes after receiving the go ahead from the College Station representative at the intersection. The crew will remove the traffic control devices on the north intersection leg. Then College Station Police Officers will shut down the intersection by stopping all traffic approaching the intersection. The crews will have 2 minutes to pick up the devices between the two southbound travel lanes through the intersection and on the south leg. After this, the southbound traffic will be released to proceed through the intersection toward FM 2818. During the time between minutes 2 and 7, Crew #2 will finish picking up the traffic control devices in the intersection. Crew #2 will then move to the east side of the intersection while officers allow Bush traffic to turn from westbound to southbound for a few minutes. Crew #2 will then pick up devices on east side of intersection while officers hold George Bush traffic. Crew #3 begins picking up the traffic control devices on the west leg of George Bush between Wellborn Road and Olsen Drive (Crew 3 needs to be positioned on George Bush, west of Wellborn Road and out of the intersection before the 2 minutes have expired). Note, the barricades at the track for westbound traffic shall stay in place until all of the traffic control devices between Wellborn Road and Olsen Drive have been picked up – a member of Crew #3 can circle back to pick up these devices before rejoining the crew to pick up the remaining traffic control devices on George Bush Drive. Crew #2 Will continue picking up the devices on Wellborn Road toward FM 2818. Once this crew is south of the Bush/Wellborn intersection (at the end of 7 minutes), the traffic on George Bush will be released and allowed to turn onto southbound Wellborn Road toward FM 2818 and signals will return to normal operation. Crew #3 Will then drive west in the eastbound lanes (counter flow) and remove traffic control at Penberthy/George Bush intersection. Crew #3 will continue westbound in the eastbound lanes and remove traffic control at Reed House and Barbara Bush median opening. Crew #3 will continue west in the eastbound George Bush lanes (still traveling counter flow) to the George Bush/FM 2818 intersection and remove devices. Crew #3 will return eastbound in the (now open) eastbound lanes to pick up traffic control at the Pearce Pavilion median. Crew #4 This crew should start on the east side of the Wellborn Road and Holleman intersection picking up the traffic control devices and move to the west side. They will then travel to the FM 2818/Holleman Drive intersection to pick up the traffic control devices there.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment – 1660 Graham Road Sponsor:Alyssa Halle-Schramm, Planner Reviewed By CBC:City Council Agenda Caption:Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map from Suburban Commercial to Urban for approximately 10 acres, generally located at 1660 Graham Road. Relationship to Strategic Goals: Diverse & Growing Economy Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their August 19, 2021, meeting where they voted unanimously to recommend approval. Staff also recommends approval of the request to Urban with the understanding that if this request is approved by City Council, the 10-year Comprehensive Plan update will necessitate a redesignation to Mixed Residential, which best reflects the proposed townhouse uses and inherently limits the scale and density of this development. Summary: The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map from Suburban Commercial to Urban on approximately 10 acres located west of the existing International Leadership of Texas public charter school campus. The subject property and properties to the north and east are primarily designated as Suburban Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map, while the properties to the west and south are General Suburban. In February 2021, City Council denied a Comprehensive Plan Amendment request for Urban on the same parcel, as the former developer – at the time – intended to develop a multi-family product. This request is accompanied by a rezoning request for a PDD Planned Development District with a T Townhouse base to allow for a transitional single-family residential use between the Dove Crossing Subdivision and the ILT charter school campus. This application also precedes the 10-year Comprehensive Plan update, which will eliminate the Urban land use designation and reclassify all properties that were previously designated as Urban. The new Mixed Residential land use will be the most appropriate for the townhouse uses proposed with this development. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City: The subject property and properties to the north and east have a future land use designation of Suburban Commercial with Natural Areas Reserved along Lick Creek. The Suburban Commercial land use designation is generally for concentrations of commercial activities that cater primarily to nearby residents versus the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be small in size and located adjacent Page 242 of 300 to major roads (arterials and collectors). The design of structures is intended to be compatible with surrounding single-family residential neighborhoods. Institutional/Public is located to the north across Graham Road at the City of College Station’s Public Utilities site. The property to the northwest across Graham Road is designated as Medical Use with a small portion of Natural Areas Reserved along Lick Creek. Properties to the west and south have a General Suburban land use designation and are developed as residential properties within the Dove Crossing Subdivision. The subject property is adjacent to both the Medical District Master Plan area and the Spring Creek District, which is generally the area located along State Highway 6 near the Rock Prairie Road interchange and the Spring Creek Business Park. This area includes the major medical centers of Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, CHI St. Joseph Health College Station Hospital, as well as a number of other medical related facilities and a master planned, City-owned business park. The focus of development in this area should be linking current and future medical facilities into a cohesive district which incorporates the natural features of Lick Creek and Spring Creek into the design of the district. The area near the intersection of Longmire and Graham Road has continued to grow with the development of the adjacent ILT school to the east and an optometry office. Other uses in this area include, but not limited to parks, hospitals, commercial retail (banks, hotels, and grocery stores), public utilities, offices, and single-family residential. These variety of uses support a variety of housing types, however the area is primarily single-family detached homes. The Urban designation allows for an intense level of development activities and consists of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density apartments. An amendment to Urban would lay the foundation for providing a higher concentration of dwelling units located within walking distance to a school, grocery store, medical offices, and employment centers, which could ultimately lead to a more walkable pedestrian friendly neighborhood. Since the area was annexed in December of 1993, the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map has remained largely unchanged for this part of town. 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 Urban. The Urban designation is generally for areas that should have a very intense level of development activities. These areas will tend to consist of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density apartments. The property has an existing single-family home, and the adjacent property to the east is the International Leadership of Texas campus located on approximately 14.38 acres. To the south and west is the Dove Crossing Subdivision with an overall density of 4.23 dwelling units per acre. North across Graham Road, is approximately 47.43 acres owned by the City of College Station, some of which hosts the City of College Station’s fleet services and public utilities. A higher concentration of dwelling units per acre would support the nearby parks, commercial retail (banks, hotels, and grocery stores), offices, and the city’s medical corridor. Additionally, it would provide an appropriate transition and step down of the intensity of land uses from the commercially Page 243 of 300 zoned areas along Rock Prairie and Highway 6, as you would go from medical facilities to a grocery store, hotel, school, this urban designation which would allow for a future attached single-family development, and then the surrounding single-family detached homes. 3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: While the subject property is located nearby Lick Creek, 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: This property was assumed as a Suburban Commercial land use within the City’s currently adopted Water and Wastewater Master Plans. The applicant provided City staff with anticipated demands for the proposed Urban Future Land Use. These demands were loaded into the City’s water and wastewater models to determine if adequate capacity exists for the proposed higher density land use type. The results of the water distribution model scenario indicate that adequate domestic water capacity is available. However, the wastewater collection system model output demonstrated capacity concerns. Any near-term rezoning proposal to an urban intensity use would have to be carefully considered as further analysis shows significant downstream sanitary sewer system improvements would be required at the developer’s expense and would include upgrades to an existing lift station, as well as the upsizing of approximately 3,250 LF of sanitary sewer mains. However, there is an approved capital project that is expected to be completed within the next three to four years that will provide the necessary capacity for this higher density land use type. The completion of this City funded CIP would eliminate the need for a developer to provide the currently identified downstream improvements. The applicant has also proposed that the development would be phased to account for sewer capacity issues as needed and if applicable. Drainage and other public infrastructure is required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. A traffic impact analysis (TIA) is not required with a comprehensive plan amendment request; however, with a rezoning using T Townhouse as a base zoning – as is requested in the accompanying application – a TIA would not be required as it does not exceed 150 trips in the peak hour. Both Graham Road and nearby Longmire Drive are constructed to their full cross sections as 2-lane Major Collectors per the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. The subject property also has two public streets projected to the subject property; Crystal Dove Avenue to the west and White Dove Trail to the south. The proposed Urban land use amendment could create a more intense land use in an area that has experienced traffic issues during drop-off and pick-up times of the adjacent ILT school campus to the east. It is not uncommon however for queueing issues to exist around school sites during these times. Both Graham Road and Longmire Drive are designated and constructed to their Major Collector cross sections and a traffic signal was installed at their intersection by ILT. Based on the trip rate table provided in the UDO, future townhouse development could generate less trips per acre than the adjacent General Suburban uses (7.28 trips per acre vs. 8 trips per acre). It has the potential to actually generate fewer trips per acre than a Suburban Commercial zoning, which could have 40 Page 244 of 300 trips per acre though there is much variability in commercial trip generation depending upon the end use. These rates are based on national averages and the actual resulting trip rate will depend upon the specific use developed. 5. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan: The goal for 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 and east are designated as suburban commercial. This designation intends to provide for concentrations of commercial activities that cater primarily to nearby residents. The design of these structures are compatible in size and design with the surrounding single-family residential uses. An Urban designation may be appropriate for this property as a transitional land use between the established Dove Crossing subdivision, located within walking distance to a school (ILT campus), grocery store (Kroger), medical offices, and employment centers. Any land use change would support more housing diversity in an area that is largely suburban, and it could provide professionals who work in the medical corridor more housing options near their places of employment.

ACRES Total Acreage:10 Applicant:: Property Owner:HERRING MARY ELIZABETH MITCHELL & MORGAN What element of the Comprehensive Plan and at what location is requested to be amended? Land Use Plan Amendment at 1660 Graham Road What is the amendment requested? We request to amend the Land Use Plan from Suburban Commercial to Urban. COMP PLAN APPLICATION SUPPORTING INFORMATION What is the reason for the amendment? As College Station continues to grow, so do housing needs. There is a need to expand the housing market inventory and offer a wider variety of housing. The property owner has made several attempts over the years to pursue single-family development, without success due to the need for higher density on this tract. The City Council recently determined that high-density multi-family was not compatible with the neighboring subdivision. Given the need for more and the desire to produce a development that is most appropriate for the area, we propose townhomes. Page 1 of 2 Page 250 of 300 How will this change be compatible with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the immediate area concerned, the general area, and the city as a whole? We are requesting the rezoning to allow townhome development on this property. After having been unsuccessful in developing the property for traditional single-family development, the owner has explored other options for residential development. This area of College Station is saturated with Suburban Commercial land uses, but there is a need for a more diverse housing stock. However, in response to the concerns brough forth from the neighborhood at the recent request for multi-family residential, we believe townhomes are a suitable and compatible development for the property that satisfy all concerns and desires for the property. In recent years, sewer capacity has been a concern for allowing more dense development. The City is currently planning improvements to the area wastewater system which would be able to accommodate medium density residential development. The developer will time the construction of the townhomes, such that when the sewer improvements are complete, the first phase of development will be ready to be occupied. Additionally, increased traffic has been a concern, especially at the Longmire Drive and Graham Road intersection. A traffic light was installed in July 2018 improving the safety and efficiency of traffic at the intersection. Explain the impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas and infrastructure, including water, wastewater, drainage and transportation network. This property lies between the International Leadership of Texas (IL Texas) school and the Dove Crossing neighborhood. Having townhomes in between the two developments helps transition the land uses from a single-family neighborhood to more intense development. The density we are proposing is less dense than a traditional townhome development allowing it to be more compatible with the adjacent neighborhood. The general area is made up of a diverse mix of uses including single-family residential, medical facilities, general commercial, and a school. Townhomes would contribute to the mix of uses and add to the diverse character of the area, while still being a single-family residential development. Explain how this change will be consistant with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. This property lies between the International Leadership of Texas (IL Texas) school and the Dove Crossing neighborhood.

Only in the event of an irreconcilable conflict shall the later adopted ordinance prevail and then only to the extent necessary to avoid Page 259 of 300 ORDINANCE NO. ___________Page 7 of 8 such conflict. Ordinances adopted at the same city council meeting without reference to another such ordinance shall be harmonized, if possible, so that effect may be given to each. 2.Purpose. The Comprehensive Plan is to be used as a guide for growth and development for the entire City and its extra-territorial jurisdiction (“ETJ”). The College Station Comprehensive Plan depicts generalized locations of proposed future land-uses, including thoroughfares, bikeways, pedestrian ways, parks, greenways, and waterlines that are subject to modification by the City to fit local conditions and budget constraints. 3.General nature of Future Land Use and Character. The College Station Comprehensive Plan, in particular the Future Land Use and Character Map found in A.3 above and any adopted amendments thereto, shall not be nor considered a zoning map, shall not constitute zoning regulations or establish zoning boundaries and shall not be site or parcel specific but shall be used to illustrate generalized locations. 4.General nature of College Station Comprehensive Plan. The College Station Comprehensive Plan, including the Thoroughfare Plan, Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan, Central College Station Neighborhood Plan, Water System Master Plan and any additions, amendments, master plans and subcategories thereto depict same in generalized terms 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. 5.Reference. The term College Station Comprehensive Plan includes all of the above in its entirety as if presented in full herein, and as same may from time to time be amended.” Page 260 of 300 ORDINANCE NO. ___________Page 8 of 8 EXHIBIT B That the “Comprehensive Plan of the City of College Station” is hereby amended by amending a portion of the map titled “Map 2.2-Future Land Use & Character” of Chapter 2 –Community Character” from Suburban Commercial to Urban shown as follows: Page 261 of 300 September 9, 2021 Item No. 9.5. Rezoning – 1660 Graham Road Sponsor:Alyssa Halle-Schramm, Planner Reviewed By CBC:City Council Agenda Caption:Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance," Article 4, "Zoning Districts,” Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundary from R Rural to PDD Planned Development District on approximately 10 acres of land generally located at 1660 Graham Road. Relationship to Strategic Goals: Diverse & Growing Economy Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their August 19, 2021, meeting where they voted unanimously to recommend approval. Staff also recommends approval of the rezoning. Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 10 acres of land adjacent to the Dove Crossing subdivision and located near the intersection of Graham Road and Longmire Drive from R Rural to PDD Planned Development District with a base zoning district of T Townhouse. In February 2021, City Council denied a Comprehensive Plan Amendment request for Urban on the same parcel, as the former developer – at the time – intended to develop a multi-family product. On August 2, 2021, the developer hosted a neighborhood meeting to gather feedback from the surrounding Dove Crossing and Bridle Gate residents. The meeting generated productive conversation regarding the residents concerns about traffic, noise, light, and height of the structures. The PDD includes the developer’s response to that feedback. REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is currently designated as Suburban Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. This request to rezone the property accompanies a request to change the land use designation to Urban. The Urban land use designation is intended for areas that should have a more intense level of development activity typically consisting of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density multi- family. The property is currently zoned R Rural, a zoning district for large lot single-family and agricultural uses. The proposed zoning permits attached low to medium density single-family townhomes, allowing the property to be developed consistent with the Comprehensive Plan assuming the associated Comprehensive Plan Amendment is be approved. 2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the surrounding area: The proposed zoning allows for medium density single-family residential uses, which is compatible with the existing uses in the surrounding area. Given the property’s close Page 262 of 300 proximity to multiple single-family neighborhoods, and if the property is redesignated as Urban, a PDD which allows for a townhouse development will support the planned growth in the area. The continuation of single-family is compatible with the nearby single-family neighborhoods and supports the nearby commercial and medical office uses. The intent of the rezoning is to provide a unique townhouse development that is complimentary but separate from the Dove Crossing subdivision. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The property has over 530 feet of frontage and takes access to Graham Road, which is an existing Major Collector. The proposed PDD is suitable for the higher densities and more intense land uses that a major collector can support. It is the applicant’s intent to create a unique, single-family, individually- owned, townhouse product. The subject property is not in the FEMA floodplain. The subject property is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district. 4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district: This property was assumed as a Suburban Commercial land use within the City’s currently adopted Water and Wastewater Master Plans. The applicant provided City staff with anticipated demands for the proposed Urban Future Land Use. These demands were loaded into the City’s water and wastewater models to determine if adequate capacity exists for the proposed higher density land use type. The results of the water distribution model scenario indicate that adequate domestic water capacity is available. However, the wastewater collection system model output demonstrated capacity concerns. Analysis shows significant downstream sanitary sewer system improvements would be required at the developer’s expense and would include upgrades to an existing lift station, as well as the upsizing of approximately 3,250 LF of sanitary sewer mains. However, there is an approved capital project that is expected to be completed within the next three to four years that will provide the necessary capacity for this higher density land use type. The completion of this City funded CIP would eliminate the need for a developer to provide the currently identified downstream improvements. The applicant has also proposed that the development would be phased to account for sewer capacity issues as needed and if applicable. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. A traffic impact analysis (TIA) is not required for a rezoning using T Townhouse as a base zoning –as it does not exceed 150 trips in the peak hour. Both Graham Road and nearby Longmire Drive are constructed to their full cross sections as 2-lane Major Collectors per the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. The subject property also has two public streets projected to the subject property; Crystal Dove Avenue to the west and White Dove Trail to the south. The proposed request could create a more intense land use that generates additional traffic in an area that has experienced traffic issues during drop-off and pick-up times of the adjacent ILT school campus to the east. It is not uncommon however for queueing issues to exist around school sites during these times. Both Graham Road and Longmire Drive are designated and constructed to their Major Collector cross sections and a traffic signal was installed at their intersection by ILT. Based on Page 263 of 300 the trip rate table provided in the UDO, future townhouse development could generate less trips per acre than the adjacent General Suburban uses (7.28 trips per acre vs. 8 trips per acre). It has the potential to generate fewer trips per acre than a Suburban Commercial zoning, which could have 40 trips per acre though there is much variability in commercial trip generation depending upon the end use. These rates are based on national averages and the actual resulting trip rate will depend upon the specific use developed. 5. The marketability of the property: A 10-acre Rural property in central College Station is not marketable for the permitted agricultural uses. However, a rezoning request for a townhouse product that is sensitive to the surrounding established homes and charter school site is more marketable than the present zoning. This is anticipated to increase the marketability of the property. REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed building and parking areas as well as other site related features. In proposing a PDD, an applicant may also request variations to the general platting and site development standards provided that those variations are outweighed by demonstrated community benefits of the proposed development. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria as the basis for reviewing PDD Concept Plans: 1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area; 2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this Section; 3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development; 4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public street directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners association; 5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities; 6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and 7. The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle, or pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses in the area. Modifications Requested: At the time of development, the property will meet all the applicable Page 264 of 300 requirements of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) for the T Townhouse zoning district with the following modifications: Section 5.2 Residential Dimensional Standards o 15-foot rear setback in lieu of the required 20-foot rear setback Section 8.3.E.2 Relation to Adjoining Street System: o Provide gated emergency-only access at White Dove Trail and Crystal Dove Avenue in lieu of a public street. Section 8.3.H.1.h Lots: o Provide access via private access easement in lieu of frontage to a public street. Section 8.3.H.1.h Lots: o Lots with frontage to Graham Road are not required to have access provided by a rear alley. Instead, all lots will have access to a private access easement. Community Benefits: The applicant offers the following as community benefits: • A maximum of 11 dwelling units per acre. • 5-foot landscaped buffer along shared property lines adjacent to Dove Crossing. • A maximum building height of 25 feet, measured at the eave. Please note, following the P&Z meeting, a revised Concept Plan was submitted to show the emergency access points, as well as to provide further detail regarding the buffer areas. The buffer areas will include both a fence and vegetation. These items were discussed at the P&Z meeting, but were not detailed on the Concept Plan. The revised Concept Plan now provides those details.

ACRES Total Acreage: 10 Applicant: MITCHELL & MORGAN Property Owner: HERRING MARY ELIZABETH List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary. We are requesting the rezoning to allow townhome development on this property. After having been unsuccessful in developing the property for traditional single-family development, the owner has explored other options for residential development. This area of College Station is saturated with Suburban Commercial land uses, but there is a need for a more diverse housing stock. However, in response to the concerns brough forth from the neighborhood at the recent request for multi-family residential, we believe townhomes are a suitable and compatible development for the property that satisfy all concerns and desires for the property. In recent years, sewer capacity has been a concern for allowing more dense development. The City is currently planning improvements to the area wastewater system which would be able to accommodate medium density residential development. The developer will time the construction of the townhomes, such that when the sewer improvements are complete, the first phase of development will be ready to be occupied. Additionally, increased traffic has been a concern, especially at the Longmire Drive and Graham Road intersection. A traffic light was installed in July 2018 improving the safety and efficiency of traffic at the intersection. Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not, explain why the Plan is incorrect. We have requested a Land Use Plan Amendment from Suburban Commercial to Urban, as this is the only land use category that allows townhomes. We believe residential development is most appropriate for this property, and in response to the feedback from the neighborhood and City Council, we believe this type of residential development is most appropriate for this property. How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood? The current zoning district is R Rural. This is the zoning district that was applied to the property upon annexation. While the existing single-family house is in compliance with the zoning, it is not the highest and best use for the property. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. Townhomes are a suitable land use for this property as they are a medium density single-family product, REZONING PDD APPLICATION SUPPORTING INFORMATION Page 1 of 4 Page 278 of 300 similar to the established Dove Crossing neighborhood. Townhomes will contribute to the needed diversity in the housing stock and will provide a much-needed option for first time owners looking for a residence. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. Townhomes are a suitable land use for this property as they are a medium density single-family product, similar to the established Dove Crossing neighborhood. Townhomes will contribute to the needed diversity in the housing stock and will provide a much-needed option for first time owners looking for a residence. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. The property is not marketable for Rural uses. The area around it has developed into a medical district and medium density single-family residential area. Rural uses are out of character for this location. List any other reasons to support this zone change. N/A Building Heights. 25' Proposed Drainage. Stormwater will be designed according to BCS Unified Stormwater Design Guidelines and will be collected in an underground stormwater system. Variations Sought. Please see the attached letter. Community Benefits. Please see the attached letter. Page 2 of 4 Page 279 of 300 Sustained Stability. Townhomes are a medium density single-family product, which will be in character with the adjacent Dove Crossing neighborhood. We expect to see a similar owner/renter composition as Dove Crossing and will contribute to the stability of the established residential area of the surrounding area. Conformity. The Community Character chapter of the Comprehensive Plan states a desire to ensure new neighborhoods are sustainable. The plan states, ³New neighborhoods should remain vibrant well into the future. Sustainable neighborhoods require a balance between owner and renter occupancy; access to neighborhood-serving businesses; parks and open space; transportation facilities designed for the density of the neighborhood; and access to and connectivity with adjacent neighborhoods.´The proposed townhome development will include all of these desired elements and will contribute to the established character of the Graham Road corridor. Compatibility with use. The Concept Plan proposes a townhome development that will have access to Graham Road and emergency access only from White Dove Trail. Townhomes are considered a single-family product and is expected to be similar to the owner/renter composition of Dove Crossing, making it a compatible neighbor to the neighborhood. Access to Streets. The townhomes will have access to a street network that will connect to Graham Road and White Dove Trail. Public Improvements. This development will provide all necessary infrastructure to the site. Sidewalks are available on Graham Road. Public Health. The Concept Plan proposes uses that conform to the developed uses of the surrounding area. This development will not be a detriment to the public health, safety or welfare to the surrounding properties, but will serve as a compatible single-family development for the area. Safety. Page 3 of 4 Page 280 of 300 The Concept Plan proposes primary access to Graham Road and emergency access only from White Dove Trail, which will limit the amount of traffic from this development from impacting the Dove Crossing subdivision. Additionally, there will be access to sidewalks and bike lanes along Graham Road to encourage alternative modes of transportation. These elements contribute to the convenience and safety of vehicles and pedestrians for the residents of this development as well as other drivers and pedestrians utilizing these facilities.
