The council, which made no major decisions in its workshop meeting to discuss the 1980 -81 revenue sharing and operating budget, delayed furth- er discussion until its regular meet- ing tonight. However, council mem- bers seemed to prefer water and sewer rate increases over a tax in- crease. Increased city revenues are neces- sary for the inclusion of numerous items in College Station's 1980 -81 revenue sharing and operating budget. Before a tax increase could be ""' voted on by the council, Texas law requires newspaper publication of the intended raise and a public hear- ing on the issue. j City Manager North Bardell said if water rates (currently 90 cents per 1,000 gallons), were raised 1 cent per 1,000 gallons, an additional $12,045 would be generated each year. If sewer rates (currentlWe 1 .75 per household per month), 25 cents per month, about $35, would be added each year, Bardell said. In other action, a council commit - - -. tee was formed to work with the city staff to develop a comprehensive city -wide energy conservation plan. Items to be c onsidered at tonight's council meeting include establish ment of a reserve police force and 1980 water system contract bids for what Bardell described as the com- pletion of a 30 -inch diameter pipe- line to bring city water from new wells located outside the city. Also on the agenda are naming of four city parks and consideration of an ordinance to rename a portion of Village Drive as Bartholow Drive to clear up confusion in street num- bers.

The San Antonio based firm requested permission last month to suspend its year -old flights into and out of the College Station field. The Texas Aeronautics Commission reported the only protest to the an- nouncement came from College Station Mayor Gary Halter. The mayor's letter stated that advertisement of the airline's limited service had been limited, and Alamo had not provided service for a suf- ficient period of time to determine whether or not the market could be developed, TAC reported. The director of the state agency replied, however, "Market conditions and Alamo's financial condition preclude expending the amount of money necessary to properly develope the market. "The carrier has indicated that it will reinstitute service at such time that market conditions improve, and its financial condition allows it to undertake the full development of the market."

The Eagle CS studies mobile home ordinance By FRANK MAY Staff Writer While Bryan city officials had been considering tightening mobile home regulations, College Station officials are studying ordinance revisions to loosen mobile home restrictions. Al Mayo, city planner, said the city's mobile home zoning ordinance is being examined in an effort to boost development of the homes. Mayo said the 11- year -old or- dinance has no specific provisions for mobile home subdivisions. The or- dinance provides for mobile home parks, which like those in Bryan are usually full, and individual mobile homes existing before May 23, 1969. Local mobile home dealers said there has been little expansion of the homes in College Station because of the existing ordinance restrictions. Mobile home expansion has largely been in Bryan and rural areas, they said. Mayo pointed out officials are not considering the ramdom mobile Cn --A - 0 ro ct M sL N � J v home placement which is currently permitted in Bryan. There are many College Station tracts suitable for mobile home subdivisions that would cause no serious uproar from residents, Mayo said. "We think it's time to take a good, hard look at the ordinance," he said. "We may determine it is too stringent and maybe we'll loosen it." Some mobile home park and subdivision developers, however, have found zoning requirements are not the only obstacle for expansion. Financing for such projects is "sometimes a problem," Mayo said. The current ordinance requires a park to have two or more acres and UP to 10 mobile homes per acre. There are many parks in the city with two to five mobile homes. There are also still many individual mobile homes in various residential areas, Mayo said. In a mobile home subdivision, residents can own both the home and the lot. In a mobile home park, residents lease the lot and sometimes the home. The mobile home subdivision proposal is one of a series of plans aimed at improving housing in the city. The city council Thursday ap- proved an ordinance which is ex- pected to promote, duplex, townhome and patio home ownership. The or- dinance allows subdividing of duplex lots and increases density allotments for single family residential areas. "It makes for a healthier housing situation if we try to increase all types in the city," Mayo said. "Mobile homes are an affordable alternative to homes costing about $50,000." Many Texas A &M University students are interested in renting and purchasing mobile homes, Mayo said. Many students are forced to go to Bryan because of inadequate mobile homes in College Station. The planning and zoning com- mission is expected to consider the mobile home ordinance revisions in coming weeks. Bryan's proposed mobile home ordinance, which would restrict new, remodeled and "discontinued" mobile homes to parks and sub- divisions, remains in limbo. The Bryan council has considered it four times. The council has not yet approved, killed or tabled the or- dinance. But, Mayor Richard Smith last week said he would vote against the measure because of a lack of public support. Smith's announcement precludes passage of the ordinance because three other council members are oppossed to the ordinance. M. C-,.S Council OKs zoning ordinance By FRANK MAY Staff Writer College Station City Council Thursday night approved a residential zoning ordinance designed to promote lower -cost housing expecially duplex, townhome and patio home ownership. The ordinance allows subdividing of duplex lots for individual sale of each unit and increases density allotments for regular single family residential areas. Eight single family residences instead of the current six will be permitted per acre in residential developments. A new zone, created under the ordinance, permits "smaller lot development for smaller houses or patio homes," City Planner Al Mayo said in a memo to the council. - "These changes will allow developers to put single family units on the market which will be af- fordable to a large number of C/) --A (o =- - 0 (D c-r M a N � J v (D potential homeowners who might otherwise have no alternative but to rent," Mayo said. Although duplexes can be sold individually, according to the or- dinance, those still are subject to townhome regulations including firewalls, he noted. The ordinance received little public input and discussion from the council. It was unanimously adopted. In other action, the council voted to purchase about 47 acres adjacent to the current wastewater treatment plant near Carter Creek on the city's southeastern boundary. The land would allow for plant expansion, the top priority on proposed capital improvements. Cost of the land was not im- mediately available. The council discussed effects of the state highway department's plan to make Highway 6 bypass frontage roads one -way. Council members stressed the roads should not lose their two -way status until crossings are constructed between Highway 30 and Business 6. The council approved $5,500 for the Arts Council of Brazos Valley for 1981 summer concerts and $3,910 for a city history project and art conference promotions. After bearing Mile Drive residents' objections and viewing their petition, the council unanimously denied a rezoning request from Building Crafts, Inc. of Bryan. The firm had proposed to rezone about 13 acres east of Texas Avenue and near Mile Drive from single family residential to apartment building and general commercial. Residents said the planned structures were "too close" and "too dense." The council held two public hearings on annexing and rezoning land southeast of Texas Avenue and Pinon Drive at the southernmost city limit. No strong opposition to the an- nexation and zone request was voiced. The council also: — Approved a resolution endorsing a bill that would allow municipal utilities to provide electric service in a city without a certificate of con- venience and necessity. The bill will be presented to the state legislature next January. — Approved a resolution allowing the city attorney to institute im- minent domain on Holleman Street right -of -way property if the land can not be bought. — Awarded bids totaling about $133,000 for police vehicles, a pool heater, street department equipment and a landfill compactor. The council also approved emergency funds for re- roofing the office and ambulance sections of the central fire station. — Approved realignment of community development funds to allow paving of Churchill Street. — Approved plans for the Redbud Addition, Emerald Forest Phase 3, Southwood Valley Section 3 and 14 -A and Woodway Village Phase 2. M Harvey reps for battle By FRANK MAY Staff Writer Hot tempers over the annexation of about 300 acres in the Harvey community have cooled the last week but some residents say they will renew their battle Monday. Two Harvey spokesmen say they are "relieved" over certain statements made by College Station officials last week. City Planner Al Mayo told The Eagle, "The last thing the city wants is to have strip commercial development" on the proposed annexation land. Informed of Mayo's comments, Norman Beal, who has spoken for Harvey residents at various meetings, said the statement was a "relief to hear." He said he had not previously heard such a statement from College Station officials. Kenneth Hall, owner of K &J Grocery in Harvey, said he also had never heard such a statement and noted residents also do not want strip commercial development. However, he said an 80 -acre portion of the proposed annexation land along Highway 30 is in effect a "strip" and will attract commercial development. He also argued that city officials could be swayed in coming years to allow strip commercial development on the land. "And who knows what a different city council night do," he said. Mayo said he hopes most of the Highway 30 strip and 214 acres between the Texas Instruments plant and FM 158 will be residential areas. "The only commercial would Turn to MAYO, page 6A HARVEY _ HARVEY HILLSIDES SUBDIVISION I I a� BRYAN l CARTE CREEg RPY. 30 i 611 i i COLLEGE STATION The two darkened areas are the 300 acres the city is considering for annexation.

Three residents said regulations in he ordinance were discriminatory, oo restrictive, and would undermine 'outh programs such as 4 -H clubs. The ordinance would require 2,000 quare feet of "open space" for each owl, rabbit and other small animal . _ and 20,000 square feet for each horse, sheep, goat, cow and other large animal. David C. Ruesink of 1902 Lawyer said the space requirement should only be applied to "adult" rabbits. Councilman James Dozier asked for a definition fo an adult rabbit and Ruesink responded by describing the breeding habits of various rabbits. Ruesink suggested the 2,000 square feet be changed to 500 feet, because a "Family" of six rabbits would require 12,000 square feet and "that's a lot of space." He also asked that a license fee of $10 on livestock be waived for youth Program participants. Earl M. Lynch, who said he raises "game cocks as a hobby" on his property near Jersey Street and FM 2154 (Wellborn Road), called the ordinance "discriminatory." You're discriminating against particular pets and things that are People's hobbies against other things that are not," he told the council. Dozier interjected that he has a pet duck and asked Lynch if the or- dinance should be equally applied to him. Lynch then asked Dozier if the councilman should provide 2,000 square feet for the duck. Dozier quipped that he keeps his duck inside his house. "You think I'd let him out there with your fighting game cock," he snapped. Lynch suggested the council at- tempt to stop fire ants instead of restrict livestock. Ashley C. Lovell of 1802 Laura Lane said the ordinance would push his daughter "out of the rabbit business." He said he "unofficially represents other College Station parents" whose children raise rabbits for 4 -H projects. Lovell told the council it should consider the ordinance's effects on "life" because it could prohibit youth from undertaking small animal production and marketing projects. The ordinance also requires that cows, horses, sheep, goats and livestock be 200 feet from a residence that is not owned by the "keeper" of the animal. Swine must be 500 feet and fowl 100 feet from a neighboring residence. A second ordinance would limit the number of dogs and cats six- months- old or more to three per resident. Dozier suggested the council table the ordinances and appoint a 10-15 - member citizen committee to study the proposals. Council members, indicated, however, such a committee would be too large. They voted down Dozier's motion for the committee and instead chose a council committee. Council members Larry Ringer and Pat Boughton will serve on the committee with Mayor Gary Halter. Signal system near completion Staff Photo by Hill Meeks New traffic light at Southwest Parkway and Texas Avenue is included in the system. CS hopes toeasetiemups By FRANK MAY Staff Writer A computerized traffic signal project designed to ease congestion largely around Texas A &M Univer- sity is nearing completion, local of- ficials say. The $950,000 project, which includes new traffic lights at four College Station intersections, should be operating, sometime this fall, said John Black, the city's traffic engineer. Officials are awaiting a computer and other equipment which would connect 16 traffic lights in the city to a central control office. Signal systems, some of which were 20- years -old, have been "changed out" and new equipment installed, Black said. New lights have been constructed at Joe Routt Boulevard and FM 2154 (Wellborn Road), Dexter and Jersey Streets, Agronomy Road and University Drive and Southwest Parkway and Texas Avenue. The new system, the only one in the Brazos Valley region, will "move traffic better" on heavily traveled streets such as Texas Avenue, Black said. The system is designed to move large blocks of traffic through about five signals at a time. "Unless the traffic is so congested that it just can't be done, the lights will be interconnected and each to go to green to allow straight through movement," Black said. The system is triggered by traffic load couplers built in the street pavement. The couplers send signals to a computer which responds by timing lights to allow traffic flow. The computer will be monitored at the city's traffic office where workers can make adjustments to improve traffic flow. The current system has lights set on regular timing intervals with "limited" compensation for traffic loads, Black said. The new system can also be ad- justed for heavy traffic at "special events" such as A&M football games. A study about three years ago showed heavy traffic around the A &M campus caused numerous accidents, especially fender - benders. Local officials obtained a federal grant to fund the computer system and only about $20,000 of the $950,000 is paid by the city of College Station, Black said. Eagle Signal Co. of Austin, which supplied much of the equipment, will use the College Station system as a "demonstration." D.D. Williamson, planning official for the state department of highways and public transportation, said the system is an experimental project. He said Bryan would probably not qualify for such a system because it has no concentrated traffic like that at Texas A&M University. However, traffic officials are "looking at timing" of several Texas Avenue intersections in Bryan to upgrade flow, he said. The Eagle Sept. 10, 1980 0 00 rn a� as w .:1 v H LO CS considers ca pital projects By FRANK MAY Staff Writer College Station officials unveiled Wednesday night a " wish list" of an estimated $21.5 million in capital improvements that will be "prioritized" and eventually presented as a bond issue to voters. The list of proposed utility, street, fire, police and park improvements were handed to members of the city's citizens advisory committee for review at a capital improvements committee meeting. City Manager North Bardell told the citizens group the improvements are aimed at "what ... we have to do to put ourselves in the same position five years from now that we find ourselves in now." The city currently "is on top of the situation (growth)," Bardell said. "e don't have any serious shortcomings. I certainly think the citizens of College Station would like to keep it that way. I know the city staff does." The capital improvements include $5.2 million in additions to the city's water system. About $1.3 million is earmarked to pay off "shortfall" costs on current water system im- provements. The shortfall resulted from the federal Economic Development Administration's failure to approve a grant to the city. A third water well, elevated storage tank and distribution lines are in- cluded in the proposed water system improvements. For the city's wastewater treat- ment system, about $4.5 million is slated for expanding the current plant or building a new facility. About $1.8 million is listed for electric system additions. Street construction, right -of -way purchase and traffic signal projects are projected to cost about $3.H million. Those projects include extending Southwest Parkway, Holleman Drive and FM 2818 to the Highway 6 bypass and some signal installation along Highway 30, FM 2818, Welch Street and Holleman. Although no funds are included for new north -south arterial streets, City Engineer Elrey Ash said the city is "going to have to take some long, hard serious looks " at Texas Avenue alternatives. Lincoln Street which runs east -west could be connected to University Drive on the north and Dartmouth on the south and lead to a FM 2818 ex- tension, Ash said. It would serve largely residents in subdivisions on the Highway 6 bypass, he noted. Welch Street from Southwood Valley to Jersey Street is a second proposed north -south artery, Ash said "We're going to have to commit ourselves to some project that will alleviate some of this (Texas Avenue traffic) problem," Ash asserted. A third fire station costing about $500,000 and a new $450,000 firemen training facility are listed as fire department improvements. The new training facility would prevent slow response by city firefighter who currently train at the Texas A &M field near Easterwood Airport, Ash said. About $120,000 was listed for ad- ditional office and parking space and a security fence at the police station. Ash said he believes the figure is "extremely low" and $200,000 would be realistic for adding 2,000 square feet of office space , parking and the fence at the station. Park improvements total $3.6 million and include an office building, maintenance, a Southwood Valley athletic park and other new parks. Northgate was listed as a capital project, but no funds were earmarked for improvements. Ash said the city is "not sure at this point to what extent" Northgate would be included in capital projects. "That's why we left it open and we wanted to discuss that with you (citizens committee)," he added. Citizens had little comment on the list. Councilmen Bob Runnels, chairman of the city's capital improvements committee, said the list is "an overview" that the citizens group "can chew on." He said the projects would be "prioritized" and presented to the City Council and planning and zoning commission incoming months. Ash said all cost figures are "first wild guesses." Some funding for the projects could come from federal and state sources, Bardell said. But the bulk of the monies would come from local revenue, he indicated. Most street, fire, park and police projects would be funded through general obligation bonds which are partly financed by property taxes, he said. Runnels said a Feb. I bond issue "is anticipated." The committee will again meet Sept. 15. Study urges elevating Wellborn road By ROY BRAGG Staff Writer A recent traffic study suggests Wellborn Road be made an elevated roadway as it passes the Texas A&M main campus so projected vehicle and pedestrian traffic congestion can be avoided. The $6,000 study, funded by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and the Federal Highway .. Administr8tion, was completed by the Texas Transportation Institute this summer. It was presented to the Texas A &M Board of Regents this week. The regents voted to. support the elevation of the roadway. Texas A &M is a voting member of the MPO, along with Brazos County, the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation, and the cities of Bryan and College Station. The MPO tries to forecast trends in city growth so it can deal with potential problems. According to the study, new facilities on the west campus and increased enrollment mean increased pedestrian traffic crossing Wellborn Road. Presently, 335 students attend' class on the west campus during any given class hour, according to the study. Vehicle traffic entering campus — as well as through traffic on Wellborn Road — presents a hazardous situation for the increasing number of pedestrians. The plan for redesigning Wellborn, it is hoped, will eliminate the problem. According to the study, elevation of Wellborn from University Drive to Jersey Street, would cost $13 million. Another possibility suggested in the study is lowering Wellborn Road for the same distance. This alternative would cost $39 million. The study also states relocation of the Southern Pacific railroad tracks, which are parallel to Wellborn, as an option for both plans. Relocation of the tracks has been discussed by university administrators and College Station city officials frequently in the last few years because of the potential hazards of chemical cargo and the train traffic itself. The estimated cost of relocating the tracks, according to the study, would be around $13 million. The study suggests the elevated road, along with the relocation of the tracks, as the best solution because it would be cheaper, more efficient and easier to build. In addition to the two plans, the study also explores the pros and cons of such design work. The elevated road would provide pedestrians with nearly unlimited access between the west campus and the main campus, since pedestrian malls could be built underneath the elevation. Lowering Welborn, the report states, would limit crossing sir overpasses would have to be built for pedestrians. In addition, extensive drainage facilities would be needed for the lowered roadway. Finally, construction of the lowered road would mean the closing of Wellborn for the duration of the construction; elevating the road would allow for some road use. Both alternatives would allow the estimated 10,000 vehicles that enter the campus by that route daily to use limited- access ramps. These ramps would connect Wellborn with Joe Routt Boulevard and Old Main Drive on the main campus. Both alternatives — elevated and lowered — return to normal elevation before they get to Jersey Street, so no road work would be needed there. Bar owners receive warning from lawmen By FRANK MAY Staff Writer Local law enforcement officials told College Station bar owners Thursday "it's your responsibility" to help reduce crowded conditions, van- dalism and violence at the establish- ments. Law Officers directed most of their comments at Northgate area bar owners during a round table discussion of recent police and fire safety woes at the establishments. A confrontation between several policemen and customers of The Electric Cowboy at 313 S. College Ave. Friday night spurred the meeting, City Manager North Bardell said. "This North Gate is one of the cleanest areas in the state," said Jim Bundren, district supervisor of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Com- mission. "But you're losing it and you're losing it because you're not using your heads," he told bar owners. "It's your responsibility to manage it (crowds, violence)," Bundren said. Police Chief Marvin Byrd, who initiated plans for the meeting three weeks ago, said his department is having to cope with large crowds, vandalism and increased violence. "There's too many people at the bars and we can't get in (to patrol them)," Lt. Mike Mathews said. "The contacts we have are not mostly with students but with oil field workers and construction workers. These are bad people and we've had several assaults on our officers," he said. Two officers were sent to a local hospital with minor injuries from the Friday night scuffle at the Electric Cowboy. Byrd, other law officers and bar owners expressed fear an increasing number of non -Texas A &M students at the establishments will cause more violence and disturbances in coming months. Don Ganter, 'owner of the Dixie Chicken in Northgate, said he wants to "work together" with local law enforcement officers to reduce disturbances and violence. He said he was uncertain how to decrease crowds outside the bars, estimated to sometimes reach 1,000 along University Drive. Employees of his bar are instructed to "throw out" drunks and prevent fights and vandalism. "We need to get all bar owners with the same attitude and get together on discipline (of customers," he said. Oil field workers who are "rude" and apt to cause trouble are "not wanted in my place," Ganter said. The Eagle Aug. 28, 1980 He said patrolmen "take the edge off' customers who may suspect a disturbance during busy nights. "We want police in our places," Ganter said. Jack Sebastion, representing the Alamo Bar in Northgate, said "a small group is causing the majority of the trouble." Bar owners attempt to keep troublemakers out of their establish- ments, he said. Northgate makes College Station a "peculiar case" compared to other college cities, Bardell said, because "it is not the case in other college towns that mixed drinks and beer are so close to 11 dorms." Bardell said the city is studying a Northgate project for converting it to a "Bourbon Street (New Orleans)." Vehicular traffic would be prohibited and regular business entrances closed after 5 p.m., he said. Evening customers would use "back entrances" on Patricia Street, "taking the crowd off University Drive," he said. Ganter expressed interest in the idea and said he would be willing to study it. City staffers have drawn plans for the change, but no funds have been spent "for details," Bardell said. Bardell also informed bar owners that his office has recently received calls from two residents interested in formulating a petition for a local option election on liquor by the drink. He told The Eagle the two residents were reacting to the Electric Cowboy incident, but would probably "oppose any alcohol consumption" regardless. A representative of the Electric Cowboy was present at the meeting, but said little. Bundren suggested a rear entrance to that club, located between a supermarket and movie theater in University Square shopping center. The Electric Cowboy spokesman said a back entrance would cause "worse problems." Sheriff Bobby Yeager, who along with District Attorney Travis Bryan III represented Brazos County at the meeting, said the Northgate problems are based on little "voluntary com- pliance by the public." Bar owners and customers must attempt to stop violence and crowds and complain to police, he said. He also urged law officers to learn "crowd control." Representatives of the Thirsty Turtle, Rosewood Junction, Dudley's Draw, Studio 2818 and the Sports Club attended the session. Byrd said subsequent meetings this fall are expected. B gives up hopes of low -cost appraisal By FRANK MAY Staff Writer Tossing hopes for an inexpensive pact with the Brazos County tax office aside, Bryan City Council Monday directed city staffers to work out a contract with the recently- created county tax appraisal district for 1981 reappraisals. City Manager Ernest Clark estimated the contract at $42,500, which whould be the city's cost to the district for reappraising all city property. The council met two weeks ago with County Tax Assessor- Collecter Buddy Related story on page 4A Winn who said the reappraisals could be done for about $25,000 by his per- sonnel. However, subsequent meetings with Winn revealed county tax appraisers would be unavailable for night work and board of equalization meetings when taxpayers may dispute the appraisals, Clark said Monday. The county tax office, like the city tax department, has lost some per- sonnel because the new appraisal unit is imminent, Clark told the council. "The only one that could guarantee that would get done is the appraisal district," Clark said. The council did, however, add a hitch to its approval of contract talks with the district. On suggestions from councilmen Ples Turner, Henry Seale and Wayne Gibson, the council told Clark it wanted more than one Bryan representative on the appraisal district's board of equalization. Clark was instructed to "work with the district" on including provisions for more th^ i one Bryan board member in the contract. The council move came after disapproval of outright contract negotiations. Mayor Richard Smith, Councilman John Mobley and Seale approved contract talks without the stipulation for more representation. Gibson and Peyton Waller voted it down while Turner and Joe Hanover abstained. "They (the appraisal district) hasn't shown me that what they're doing is good for the city , "Waller said. Clark said he will attempt to present a co tract to the district at its meeting Weanesday night. A special session of the city council may be called Thursday for reviewing the agreement. City officials expect the reap- praisals will bring much controversy because some properties have not been examined for tax valuation since 1973. "Some properties will be upped considerably," said Joe Evans, city finance officer. Property was appraised in 1973, '75 and '78 on a five -year quadrant system which was va(ed down after completion two years ago. The 1981 appraisals would "equalize" all properties since taxes would be charged on the new values, Clark said. If an agreement with the appraisal district is reached, the city "would be ahead of others (local governmental bodies) because they have not par- ticipated (in the district) this first year," Clark said. Smith said the expected tax income from the reappraisals would "more than pay for the expense" mandated in a contract with the district. The Eagle Aug. 26, 1980 Planning By FRANK MAY Staff Writer Despite strong opposition from two commissioners, the College Station Planning and Zoning Commission Thursday night voted down a request which would allow construction of an office building near a residential area. After hearing pleas to nix the request from a representative of .Richards Addition residents, the commission voted 3 -2 against rezoning a 10,000 square -foot lot from single family residential to administrative-professional. rejects rezoning request Commissioners J.P. Watson and Dan Sears had urged the com- mission to allow the Richards residents and developers of the lot, located on Texas Avenue near Richards Street, to meet "and work out differences." But Sears and Watson were the only two members of the com- mission to vote for tabling the request and, later, for approval of the rezoning. Jim Gardnor, Murl Bailey, and chairman Richard Maher voted against tabling and for denial of the request. Anne Hazen and Jim Behling did not attend. Jeff Parker of College Station told the commission he would build a two -story professinal office building on the site if the request were ap- proved. He said the. .ding ,ld greatly increase city tax income from the site and "be better than what it is now— a vacant lot." Curley Green, spokesman for the Richards residents, said they "all opposed to any such building on that lot." He said the building would be located "right between two residences" and is not "proper." Al Mayo, city planner, pointed out that the lot was within 1,500 feet of many commercially zoned vacant lots on Texas Avenue. The lot is just south of Holleman Drive on the east side of Texas Avenue. "Why spot zone this one lot when there's that much commercial land available in that area ?" Mayo stressed to the commission. On Gardner's motion, the com- mission decided to send the City ,Council a second negative recom- mendation on the proposal. The council had sent the matter back to the commission last month because Parker had not met with the commission when it was first voted down. The council will again deal with the request Thursday. Also Thursday night, the com- mission approved rezoning of two tracts near Pedernales Drive from agricultural -open to apartment building and duplex. The tracts are extensions of the Southwood Valley development. A change from general com- mercial and apartment building to only apartment building for a 106,007 square -foot tract near Meadowland Street on Texas A &M University property was also approved. The commission named a sub- committee to examine residential zoning ordinances. Mayo suggested the commission "take a hard look at zoning ordinances to see if there are ways to stimulate new residential development." The subcommittee of Maher, Gardner and Sears will meet with city planning officials Monday at 3 p.m. The discussions will center around location of mobile home parks, patio homes, townhouses and condiminiums, Mayo said.

Department heads and city officials are especially optimistic about the raises because they come in January, following 10 percent raises for all personnel this month and in addition to merit raises. "I think the raises will reduce turnover drastically," said Coun- cilman Tony Jones, who added he "pushed quite hard" for the in- creases. Jones, a member of the City Council's committee on police and fire department staffing which compiled the salary figures, said police and firefighters will be encouraged "to stay" in their departments. The salary jumps were sent to the council for approval last month after a survey was made of pay figures for 12 Texas cities including Waco, Killeen and Carrollton, Jones said. City staffers and &, .rouncil have been discussing pay increases for the two departments for two to three years, he added. City personnel director Jerry Gray said he believes the council's ap- proval of the January pay increases is the first given to selected city departments. Salary raises were historically given to all city em- ployees. The increases will give a police cadet hired after Dec. 31 a monthly salary of $938, slightly above the current salary of $934 for beginning Bryan policemen. C Firefighter cadets will receive $863 a -month after Dec. 31, an 8.8 percent increase over the current salary, and $30 above beginning Bryan firemen. Increases for patrolmen, sergeants, lieutenants and captains in the police force will be 11.5, 9.4, 14.2 and 17 percent respectively. Police Chief Marvin Byrd's salary will rise from the current $1,927 per month to $2,115 monthly or $25,380 annually. Raises for one -year firefighters, apparatus operators, lieutenants, and captains will be 13, 14.6, 16 and 15.7 percent respectively. Fire Chief Douglas Landua's salary will jump from $1,806 monthly to $2,018 a -month or $24,216 annually. "Everybody's happy about the raises," Bryd said. "It will help us in recruiting good people and in trying to give our people a good place to work," he added. Charles Yeager, assistant fire chief, said fire department personnel were not expecting the increases and have responded positively. "The raises are a little bit greater and puts i,� more in line with surrounding cities' departments, "he said. Despite the increases, the two department's salaries are below the average of the 12 cities surveyed, Jones said. "But it is too hard to kick them up high quickly," he said, noting the burden on city funds. Jones and Gray agreed that pay is a "big factor in recruiting and main- taining good police and fire depart- ments." "It's hard to push personnel and expect a lot from them if you don't pay a lot," Jones said. The Eagle July 21, 1980 B=CS officials call figures excessively low From page U reliminary estimates. °— "There are some areas of the county where the count seems reasonably ac- curate," Judge Holmgreen said, "but there are other areas where we feel the count was too low." In light of this, he has appointed D.D. Williamson AS County Coordinator to evaluate the Census fi_ gures. 'Williamson, an engineer with the Highway Department, has been in- volved in a number of 'different transportation studies for this area," Holmgreen said, "and therefore probably knows as much about population counts as anyone." Williamson also serves as chairman of The Bryan Planning Commission. Holmgreen also said that if the count is low, as suspected, it will adversley affect the federal and state funds allocated to Brazos County which are based on population count. "We won't be hurt as much as the cities (Bryan and College Station) because federal Revenue Sharing is based on a different formula for counties, but it will affect our allocations," he said. The County plans to cooperate with the cities in checking all areas and if F low counts can be proved, this information will be sent to the Census Bureau with a request to correct the count, the judge said. Negative reaction in surrounding towns and counties was equally strong as city managers and county judges are preparing to challenge the census bureau. Navasota City Manager Jay Riley said the bureau's count was 5,945, representing a 16.3 population increase over the 1970 figure. Riley said local data, which includes water and utility connections and estimated numbers of occupants per household, would put Navasota's population closer to 6,200. But Riley reserved his strongest disappointment for the bureau's 10 -day review period. "Ten days does not give anybody time to challenge the figures, especially in smaller towns," Riley said. "Cities like ours don't have full -time city planners and staff people who can come up with better figures." Johnny Smith, city manager in neighboring Brenham, said he and County Judge Gus Mut- � H G � lTJ � w � o0 m 00 0 Area 1970 Census count 1980 Census preliminary count Percent change Bryan 33.719 41.965 +24.5 College Station 17,676 35,713 +102.0 Brazos County" 57,978 91,290 +57.5 scher estimate the bureau figures are nearly 1,000 short. The bureau estimated Brenham's population at 10,762 and Washington County's at 21,373. Smith said he believes the city and county can prove that at least 500 of the numbers are in error. The bureau showed Hearne's population in- crease over 1970 as six persons, and City Manager Val Robertson said he is preparing to "attack" that estimate. "The bureau's preliminary estimate did not include our newly annexed area, which would include about 155," Robertson said. "I think we have a good game plan to prove that they are low, based on increased school enrollment figures and utility conncections." Madisonville received a city estimate of 3,616, compared with 1970's 2,881. City Secretary James Walker said many people "were optimistic it would be at least 4,000." Burleson County's - estim ate is 10,888,compared with the 1970 figure of 9,999. Caldwell's estimate is 2,648 — an increase of 340 over 1970 figures. Water consumption up in B=CS Water consumption is up in both Bryan and College Station because of the hot, dry weather, but city officers do not expect a water shortage this summer. Texas A&M University Water Resources Institute Director Jack Runkles believes a drought in Texas "is not a matter of `if,' but a mater of 'when'." Jack Cornish, Bryan's director of public works, said his department pumped more water for the 24 -hour period ending at 8 a.m. Tuesday than any day in 1979. Bryan customers consumed 12.6 million gallons of water during that period, more than a million gallons higher than the 1979 mark. George Ford, College Station public services director, said the average daily consumption last week was five million gallons. That is average for this time of the year, he added. "Statewide droughts seem to follow a cycle every 20 to 25 years," said Runkles. "The last major drought in the state ended 23 years ago, and the threat of inadequate rainfall looms with each passing day." A 20 percent chance of rain is forecast for Brazos and surrounding counties tonight and Saturday, the first time the possibility of rain has been included in the weather forecast for more than a week. The state climatologist's office at A &M feels the hardest hit drought areas since last October have been the High Plains, Trans- Pecos, Edwards Plateau and South Texas border areas. Rainfall there has been from 20 to 70 percent of normal. Most of the rest of Texas has ex- perienced rainfall 30 -70 percent of normal. The last major Texas drought lasted from 1950 to 1957, when 235 of the state's 254 counties were declared federal disaster areas. "An extended drought would mean water use restrictions in most Txas cities," Runkles said. "Few Texans have any type of contingency plan in case of drought." Temperature through much of North, West and South Texas have already reached the 100- degree mark — and summer does not officially arrive, until Saturday. In Bryan- College Station the temperature hit 98 degrees Thursday. The heat is attributed to a reticent mass of hot air over the state. A cold front has been stalled near the Red River border with Oklahoma. "It is summertime weather pattern. It just formed earlier than usual," said National Weather Service forecaster Dick Elder in Fort Worth. Only a disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico could break the heat, he ad- ded. With area temperatures in. the mid and upper 90s this week and expected to remain there for several weeks, Cornish said he expects water con- sumption to continue to rise. Bryan,is "in good shape," he said. He does not anticipate any shortages this summer even if it is hot and dry most of season, he said. Ford said he dolls not expect any shortages either. If consumption 'in Collee Station continues at about the present pace, he "doesn't anticipate any problems" in meeting the demands. , ' , If a shortage should occur, however, Ford said the city would ask its customers to stop watering their grass and washing their cars and conserve as much water as possible. Page 4A The Eagle /Bryan College Station, Texas — Thursday, June 19,1980 CS budget includes no tax rise BY ROY KLEINSASSER Staff Writer College Station's 1980 -81 budget will include _no tax increases, but the council did vote to raise water and sewer rates during Wednesdav af- ternoon's special meeting. The council also discussed how the hotel -motel tax will be used during the coming years and despite being in closed session for about an hour, the governing body did not name a new city attorney as had been anticipated. With the council action, sewage rates will jump from $3.75 to $4, while water will increase 10 cents per 1,000 gallons. For users under 50,000 gallons a month water will increase from 90 cents to $1 and for those who use more than 50,000 gallons the rate will increase from 82 to 92 cents per 1,000 gallons. City staff had discussed a three cent increase in the water rate, but several council members didn't think that was enough. Councilman Roy Kelly said that water and sewer were not paying their own way and the council should go ahead and seek a larger increase rather than voting a small one and then having to return to the citizens later with another rate in- crease. "I'm not against three cents, but I would prefer 10 cents. "Then we wouldn't have to go back," Kelly said. Council member Pat Boughton agreed with Kelly and mentioned that perhaps money from such an increase might be used to hire another city planner which she said that depart- ment needs. Councilman Robert Runnels said "I think the planning department does need another position and I agree with Roy." While discussing the hotel -motel tax. Boughton expressed concern about the amount of money given the Arts Council of Brazos Valley last year. The council sought $25,000 for the coming year. According to Boughton, the organization received $6,860 in 1977, $8,200 in 1978 and then $19,000 in 1979. During that year, the council also voted about $4,000 for special projects "I feel that's an awfully big jump," she said. Boughton also said that when the money was originally allocated last year it was stipulated that the project benefit College Station. Councilman Larry Ringer said the Arts Council conducts projects that benefit both College Station and Bryan, as well as the county. I would feel more comfortable if we gave a lump sum rather than a percentage," Boughton said. Currently, the city gives the Arts Council a percentage of the tax revenue. Council members voted $15,000 to the Arts Council with Ringer dissenting. Jones indicated that the organization could come back to the city council when funding is needed for special projects. When a budget request by the Community Singers was mentioned, council members commented that they would like such groups to work through the Arts Council. Ringer made a motion to set aside $10,000-- - the difference between what was requested by the Arts Council and the $15,000 approved by the city -- for special projects. That motion was approved with $500 being earmarked for the Community Singers and $1,000 to go toward a concert pavilion to be built in College Station. Such a pavilion would be constructed using matching funds. Mayor Gary Halter said he has discussed the possibility of a pavilion with Arts Council Director Jody Bates. Arts Council Director Jody Bates said the council action is un- derstandable, and will let the governing body keep a closer ac- counting of activities. The Arts Council had requested a percentage of the hotel -motel tax, which would have given it about $25,000, Bates said. That amount still appears as though it will be forth- coming, but the Arts Council representative will have to ask for money to fund specific projects. The council also voted to give $25,000 toward the construction of an animal shelter. "It doesn't make any sense for both governments to establish their own shelters," Ringer said. The complete budget will be voted on at the June 26 council meeting.

District R -4 to General Commercial District C -l. Albert O. Mayo, Jr. The application is in the Director of Planning name of Interstate Pr motional Printing, Inc., Commission see of CS officer suspension BY FRANK MAY Staff Writer At the direction of an assistant attorney general, the Texas Com- mission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education has requested "a clarification" of a College Station patrolman's recent suspension. The May 27 suspension of officer Dee Wayne Thompson, who the commission said was wrongly cer- tified as a peace officer two years ago, is "unclear" to state officials, said Jack Ryle of the commission's cer- tification division. ]t,71e said since Thompson was suspended without pay and the College Station department operates under no civil service laws, the suspension means the officer was terminated. "The bottom line is whether he is now a peace officer," Ryle said. "If he's been suspended without pay, that means he's terminated," he added. Thompson's termination would mean an automatic forfeiture of his peace officer certificate and thus any action by the state commission to revoke the certificate would be moot, officials said. Police Chief Marvin Byrd, who suspended Thompson, made no comment on the commission'-s request, sent to him by certified letter this week. City Manager North Bardell failed to return repeated telephone calls Friday. Byrd referred questions to city attorney Neeley Lewis, who siad he would examine the letter and was certain some response would be made. City personnel director Jerry Gray said Thompson's suspension does not mean the officer was terminated. "We have not closed out his file," Gray said. Thompson will remain on t1r department's roster although he receives no pay. Thompson, hired by Byrd June 1, 1978, has appealed the state com- mission's decision to revoke his certificate. The commission has ruled Thomp- son's June 22, 1972, conviction in 85th District Court makes him ineligible for certification. The conviction followed Thomp- son's no contest plea to an arson charge in connection with the May 18, 1972, fire at three downtown Bryan stores. Byrd must respond to the com- mission's request for clarification of the suspension by next Friday, Ryle said. If no response is made, the com- mission will initiate action to revoke Thompson's certificate, Ryle said. City officials could be subpoenaed to clarify Thompson's status, Ryle said. A hearing on Thompson's cer- tification would then be held before an examiner employed by the com- mission. The examiner would then recommend action to state com- missioners pf law enforcement officer standards "and education. Comte missioners would make a final ruling on the case. Thompson has appealed the com- mission's decision, stating the 1977 reversal of the conviction makes him eligible. Thompson claimed in a 1977 motion for the new trial that he was unaware in 1972 of the employment effects of his no contest plea and new evidence in the case was discovered. However, Judge W.C. Davis, who presided over the Thompson trials, said the reversal was solely sought to allow Thompson's hiring with the College Station Police Department;' Police, fire officials say needs despe BY FRANK MAY Staff Writer With expanding workloads the last year, manpower increases requested in the 1980 -81 city budget are desperately needed for the College Station police and fire departments, officials in the departments say. Fire Chief Douglas Landua has requested funding of $94,970 for three captains, three lieutenants and a deputy fire marshal for his depart- ment. The police force has requested $81,044 for three patrolmen, a detective, two vehicles, a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team and equipment, said assistant police chief Edgar Feldman. The personnel are needed because of increasing caseloads and ex- panding services provided by the two warrant officer was also asked in the 1980-81 budget. The officer would "no doubt" pay his own salary through increased collections and reduce other patrolmen's time away from regular duties, Feldman said. The warrant officer would also eliminate late evening and early morning warrant service, he added. _ Funding for that request was also unavailable after monies for priority projects were apportioned. City council, however, can provide funding for any additional manpower: Feldman said "any way the city council can provide" the added personnel will "help an awful lot." If the request for more patrolmen and a detective is turned down, "the men we have now will be over- worked," Feldman concluded. The Eagle June 5, 1980 departments, officials said. Landua's request for captains and lieutenants results from the expected opening of the city's second fire station sometime this summer. With the added personnel, the department would have a rank structure including firefighters, apparatus operators, lieutenants and captains, Landua said. Captains would head each shift of firefighters at the two stations. Lieutenants would be located at each station during the three shifts. Landua said the three new captains and lieutenants are "needed now to supervise both stations properly." The deputy fire marshal would improve inspection capabilities which have fallen off recently, Landua said. "We're not being able to inspect like we should," he said. "The span be- tween inspections is getting further and further apart." Investigative work, which would be conducted by the fire marshal and deputy, has also increased the last year when several arson cases were probed. The requests, which Landua said have received a favorable response from the city council subcommittee on police and fire department staff- ing, include equipment such as radios for the personnel. Landua made additional requests for three apparatus operators, three firefighters and six paramedic - firefighters, but funding for those were tentatively unavailable under the city's priority funding system. The police department's requested manpower increases are "im- perative" because the force is "short- handed anyway," Feldman said. "Caseloads are getting greater and greater every month," he said, noting detectives investigate 25-30 crimes and police answer an average of 940 calls a month. "We are asking for the least amount with which we can get by," Feldman said. The three new patrolmen world fill slots opened by creation of three lieutenant positions in the depart- ment, Feldman said. The lieutenant slots were included in the department's regular budget proposal, he noted. Currently, the department has sergeants and patrolmen labeled "officers in- charge" supervising each shift. Under the new budget, lieutenants and sergeants would oversee each shift. Officers in- charge received no higher pay than patrolmen although they were supervisors of patrolmen, Feldman explained. The new system would provide higher rank and pay for the supervisors. The SWAT team is needed as "a defensive squad" in hostage situations, some business burglaries and drug busts, Feldman said. The funding would provide training, bullet -proof vests, a tear gas kit and a sniper rifle. A patrol vehicle detective's car and equipment are included in the requests.

The residents of the College Hills, Carter's Grove, Dominik area told the city officials they "want more than just lip service to zoning." Several speakers said they'd like to see zoning set in concrete for 20 years with no changes allowed. One speaker asked others to raise their hands if they supported the idea, and most of the crowd did. Some speakers, representing developers and businesses, argued that zoning needed to be flexible and Related story on page 1A that in the future, people will want shops and services closer to their homes. One woman said she wasn't in favor of growth. "When you go to some of these boomtowns, you can't wait to get back here where it is safe," she said. "How do you stop growth ?" Other speakers said they'd like to see zoning changes made more dif- ficult by increasing the number of positive votes needed when the council votes. Others proposed greenbelts around residential areas as buffers. Mass transit was supported by some and criticized by others. The citizen input from Wednesday's and other neighborhood meetings will be included in goals and objectives for the city. These goals and objectives will guide the city staff and planning and zoning commission in rewriting the Comprehensive Plan, according to City Planner Al Mayo. He said the plan is used by the city council to make decisions on capital improvements and on rezoning requests. Mayo hopes to have a preliminary proposal for the plan by Sept. 17 and will schedule public hearings before the commission and the council in October and November. He wants adoption by the end of the year. Friday at 7 p.m., Area 2B meets at city hall. That area includes College Heights, Cooner Addition, Woodlands Estates, Pasler, D.A. Smith Addition and surrounding areas. CS rumblings heard about new chamber By JANE MILLS SMITH Staff Writer Rumblings of what might even- tually be a separate chamber of commerce or at least an organization to solicit industry to College Station were heard Wednesday during a meeting of the city council, planning and zoning commission and A &M Consolidated school board. The discussion began with a presentation by the school district showing how the property tax base had eroded because of state - mandated exemptions and the future classroom needs of the district. Just to stay even next year, school officials said, school taxes probably will have to go up 10 cents. In order to prevent the individual homeowner from having to bear so much of the tax burden, officials said more commerical and industrial development is needed. "We see us as a family, the city and school," said Superintendent Bruce Anderson. He said the school district wants the city's help in doing everything possible to build a more stable tax base. He explained that the location of the Texas Instruments, Inc. plant helped the city but not the school because it is in the Bryan district. "TI will not add one penny to the school tax base and we will be educating many of the children," Anderson said. Bank of A &M President Dennis Goehring told the group that College Station is very unique as a community because of the manv things it doesn't have. "There are a lot of things we don't have that a normal community has," he said. "Things that generate tax dollars such as hospitals — with medical staffs, doctors, nurses, supplemental people. "Funeral homes — We don't have one. You can't be born or die in College Station. "Car dealerships — We have one which we just acquired a few years ago. There is a lot of sales tax from car dealerships. "Farm implement dealerships — and we live in one of the richest agricultural areas of the country. "No TV stations, newspaper or any radio stations. " No chamber of commerce. "No telephone office — they generate lots of tax dollars and we probably provide more of the income of the two cities. Also, Lone Star Gas. "We have no real strong com- mercial base. Ours has only been developing in the last few years. No stock brokerage firms. And we have a big enterprise right in the middle of our city, Texas A&M, that doesn't pay $1 in taxes and receives a lot of sup- port from the community in fire and police protection and in educating the children. "These are voids we have got to fundamentally address ourselves to. We need to encourage commercial development and industrial growth," AM Goehring said. "The costs (to the community) and the benefits (of commercial and in- dustrial growth) need to be calculated," said Councilman Bob Runnels. "You can't be completely choosey," argued Councilman Tony Jones. "The business stays in the area. If we eliminate it here, they just go a few miles to the north and we get nothing but the traffic from it." "I'm just saying we should shop wisely," said Runnels. "You don't shop, we aren't buying," Jones answered. Planning Commissioner Anne Hazen then asked if the city was large enough to support its own chamber of Turn to SCHOOL, page 4A.

MAY 7. 1980 Welcome to ... by ANDY WILLIAMS Battalion Staff Albert Clark is playing pool in a bar half a mile from Texas A &M University. That's not unusual — he says he plays there a couple of times a week. But tonight he's playing with an Aggie. A white Aggie. That's unusual. Dora Washington runs the White Stallion, formerly the Sugar Shack — the old name is still on the front of the building. Before tonight, the last white person in her bar was probably there to inspect it. Clark is a character. He is shooting mediocre pool in a four - player game. Between shots, he dances with his cue to the wailing of B. B. King, which blares from the jukebox, and the whistles of trains, which come from just across Wellborn Road. Someone sinks an eight -ball, losing the game and leaving six or seven balls on the table. Clark's eyes shine. He sidles up to the Aggie. "I don't always shoot the best I can," he con- fides, "'cause if I did, wouldn't nobody play me again." Then he turns back to the table and sinks a ball a shot until just the cue ball remains. Balls leap off cushions as many as four times before dropping into pockets. The con is over, and so is the evening. Clark's no hustler. He says he doesn't play for money. Besides, he's not always successful at concealing his spectacular ability. "Oops, I pooled that one anyway," he says, laughing after sinking a shot he meant to miss. The bar Clark amuses himself in is part of a black neighborhood south of the University. The area is bounded, roughly, by Wellborn Road on the west and Welch Boulevard on the east. No one seems to be sure how blacks came to the neighborhood. But Lucille Young, who works at a city -run recreation facility called Lin- coln Center, has a theory: "A long time ago, when blacks used to be pushed to the back, this was the back." The neighborhood doesn't have an official name. Young says local blacks call it the "Other Side" because it's across town from two other black areas. Texas A &M students live around the edges of the Other Side, but rarely in it. The contrast in cultures is clear. On some streets, new brick duplexes sit next door to battered wood -frame residences. The blacks' houses are generally small and in poor condition. Census figures from 1970 show that the aver- age house in College Station that was owned by a black was worth only about a third as much as the overall average — $ 6,900 for blacks, $18,500 for the general population. College Station's tax assessor's office rates the quality of houses on a 10- division scale. The worst houses get a grade of 2, the next best 2 +, the next best 3, and so on. The highest category is 6 +. Most of the houses in the Other Side are rated 3, 3 +, and 4. Houses rated 3 have, for instance, minimum insulation and floors of single or double pine on wood joists. Houses rated 4 differ in that they have adequ- ate insulation in their roofs and walls and have sub -floors of pine or plywood that are finished with hardwood or asphalt tile. Most houses in the Other Side range from 700 to 900 square feet. Based on the city's schedule, the worth of small house in the Other Side, not counting its lot, is only about $11,000. Lots are also assessed at low value, largely because city officials figure the Other Side is an undesirable place to live. The unit value per front foot, a measure of the worth of a lot, is lower for land in the Other Side than for any other in the city. Evelyn Henley, a secretary in the tax asses- sor's office, says this is a major reason for low property values in the area. A comparison of two similarly 'sized and aged houses, one in the Other Side and one in white Southwood Valley, shows that the house in the black area is worth 70 percent as much as the other, but that the land it sits on is worth only 20 percent as much. Housing is only one area in which the Other Side's poverty is apparent. Streets are also poor. Street lights are rare. But there is help. Some of it comes from the federal department of Housing and Urban Development. Its funds have been used for improvements in street pavement, housing, sewers, and so on. Jane Kee, community development planner for College Station, explains that standard met- ropolitan areas with populations of 50,000 or more are entitled to a block grant each year from HUD. College Station received $336,000 for this fiscal year. And some help comes from the city. In 1978, for instance, the Parks and Recrea- tion Department bought what had once been College Station's black school and converted it into Lincoln Center. This has a gym, a meeting room, and a game room, and is the only such facility in the city. Now dozens of children, almost all of whom are black, come to the center every night. And their grandparents come at noon to be fed through a senior citizen's program. Blacks in the Other Side still don't lead an easy life. But, as Lucille Young might say, they're not as near the back as they used to be. ... the `Other Side' Lucille Young, who works at a recreational the dozens of black children that come to the facility named Lincoln Center, helps entertain center every night. The White Stallion, formerly called The Sugar by some of the residents of College Station's Shack, is a bar on Wellborn Road frequented black community. Census figures from 1970 show that the average black -owned as the overall average — $6,900 for blacks, $18,500 for the Photos b Dave TO11efSVn house in College Station was worth only about a third as much general population. y (J() 8 L:�td ot ices ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS Sealed proposals ad- dressed to the City of College Station, Texas will be received at the office of Mr. Glenn Schroeder, City Secretary, City Hall, College Station, Texas until 11:00 o'clock a .m., June 5, 1980, for furnishing all necessary material, equipment and labor required for the con- struction of: DOWLING ROAD PUMP STATION CONTRACT "B" Bidders must submit with their bids a Cashier's Check or a Certified Check in the amount of five (5 %) per- cent of the maximum amount of bid payable without recourse to The City of College Station, Texas, or a proposal bond in the same amount from a Surety Company holding permit from the State of Texas to act as Surety, and ac- ceptable according to the latest list of companies holding certificates of authority from the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States as listed in latest Revision of Treasury Department Circular 570, as a guarantee that Bidder will enter into a contract and execute bond and guarantee forms provided within five (5) days after notice of award of contract to him.

Halter, Mayor 5.4, 5 5, 5 -11 The Eagle May 11, 1980 College Station apologizes for strip search By FRANK MAY Staff Writer College Station city officials and a Texas A &M University coed have reached an agreement which includes an apology and policy statement, resolving the woman's complaint over a strip- search. The agreement, which Police Chief Marvin Byrd and city attorney Neeley Lewis, said they will sign, states the strip- search should not have oc- curred. Shelley Ruby Lang, 27, said she was forced to submit to the search at the police station where she had been booked Feb. 15 on a charge of failure to appear in court to answer a traffic ticket. She initially refused the search but submitted because she was threatened with a subsequent charge of resisting arrest, the agreement states. The police department began an internal investigation of the incident after an inquiry by The Eagle. In the agreement, Byrd "expresses his regret... and apology for the in- cident which was clearly humiliating and degrading to Ms. Lang and un- necessary" to the department's operations. Byrd told The Eagle a letter of reprimand has been issued to officers responsible for the search. Patrolman Richard Vannest was the arresting officer. "I don't think we'll have a problem again on strip- searches," Byrd said. "I think officers won't strip- search unless they have a lot of probable cause," he added. The agreement also states the following has been adopted as a policy of the College Station police depart- ment: "No person arrested for a traffic violation for the offense of "failure to appear" or for a Class D misdemeanor shall be subjected to a strip - search without probable cause to believe that the person is con- cealing weapons or contraband on his or her body." Police department policy has never allowed strip- searches for minor offenses except under "special cir- cumstances," the agreement also states. The agreement suggests "less in- trusive" methods of searching such as "the traditional pat down" or a metal detector. A metal detector is used at the Brazos County jail. Lamar Hankins, Ms. Lang's cooperating attorney for the Brazos Civil Liberties Union, noted a U.S. appelate court recently affirmed a lower court's decision that strip - searches are prohibited in traffic arrests if no probable cause of con- cealed contraband or weapons was evident. Ms. Lang agreed to "hold harm- less" the city of College Station, Vannest and the police department.
