Mayo, Jr. Commissioners Jim Behling and Dan Sears, however, Director of Planning were satisfied with the plan. Behling said the land use map which shows predicted zones and an alternative zones is "superb." He said the current plan, completed about five years ago, is "too absolute and cut and dried ' with predicted land uses. Sears said the current plan has caused many problems because "it missed by a lot" in predicting land uses. City Planner Al Mayo said future land use is difficult to plan. "You can't accurately predict how the city will look in 10 years," he said. The land use map, with its alter- native uses, is "innovative," he said. Indicating a possible split on the plan, Chairman Maher asked if a minority report from the commission could be presented to City Council when it considers the plan. Mayo said it could. The commission will hold at least another meeting on the plan before it is sent to the council for formal approval. ill Commissioners said they hoped many residents would c omment on the plan in the meetings.

The commissioners made several suggestions for the economic development and municipal facilities sections of the 75 -page document. Commissioner Anne Hazen suggested planners include the "philosophy of industries coming to the Sun Belt" to illustrate more than one firm will be interested in locating in the city. Commissioner Jim Behling said the plan should also contain references to Texas A &M University's expected efforts for additional funding through research and technical programs with major corporations. Commission Chairman Richard P. Maher questioned whether specific mention of company names in the plan was necessary. He suggested the document deal more with important economic trends such as low unem- pi ent:: Texas Instruments is termed in the plan "a seed in- dustry," meaning similar companies follow it into a city.

The statement is: "Flexibility should be allowed in varying from these (land use) policies only if it can be shown that an actual unreasonable hardship will result from inflexibility. It should be pointed out that land costs, profit margins desired and other such problems created by men should not be considered actual hardships. Hardships, basically, are physical design constraints."

Mayo, Jr. Director of Planning L The Eagle, Tuesday, February 24, 1981 Land use i dea a roval gets approval FRANK MAY Staff Writer In its first informal vote on part of the com- prehensive plan, the College Station Planning and Zoning Commission Monday agreed to the concept of definite land uses projected for large sections of the city. The commission's straw vote of 5 -1 in favor of the concept conies after several weeks of considering expected and alternative land uses in the plan. The concept calls for the land use map, which is a key part of the plan, to have definite commercial, in- dustrial and residential zones on large parcels of property. The map that commissioners based their approval on shows so- called "globs" of commercial and in- dustrial property and larger areas of residential land. The land use map is a portion of the Plan 2000, the comprehensive document to guide the city to the next century. The map indicates a total of four industrial sites on the Highway 6 bypass and a large industrial tract on FM 2154 (Wellborn Road) at the proposed Research Road. Oceanography International Corp. has developed some property at the FM 2154 site, just outside the southern city limits, City Planner Al Mayo said. That area could develop into an industrial park, he added. The map also shows expansion of commercial sites at most major intersections and includes new com- mercial development at the Highway 6 bypass -Texas Avenue area. It also shows that several thousand acres between Residential subdivisions on the east side of the bypass and the Harvey community would be residential. Commissioner Dan Sears, urging the commission to take action, said the definite zones on large areas ' would indicate where the city would like those types of developments. Commissioners Ken Livingston, Anne Hazen and Jim Behling and Chairman Richard P. Maher joined Sears in agreeing to the concept of the proposed land use map. mmissioner Jim Gardner opposed it.

Stasny responded that no law specifically allows a zoning election, but no law prohibits it. Dozier also discounted the Victoria case, arguing state law specifically requires all charter amendments be made through referendum. Robert C. Webb, chairman of the Citizens for Respon- sible Government which submitted petitions for the R e s ■ d e n t s may referendum or repeal, questioned why the industry could not locate in an industrial park. Webb said the residents are not opposed to growth. "We have to strive for controlled, managed and planned file suit growth," he said. Ray Martin said the council had not given "serious consideration" to residents' concerns and did not city adequately study the impact of the proposed industry on against e ■ y area traffic. Al Gallo of Raintree said Mayor Halter had suggested to residents shortly after the rezoning was approved Jan. 8 that they seek the referendum instead of a recall. Joan Hazelwood, also of Raintree, said she had been told by an insurance company representative that the value of her property would decrease because of the in- dustrial zone. She also said she objected to some council members' knowing the identity of the industry before approving the rezoning Jan. 8, while residents were not informed of the firm. After the council decision, Stasny said opposing residents will meet with him tonight to formally decide on whether to seek legal action to force the referendum. "Court action is a very good possibility," he said. The residents would seek a writ of mandamus (court order) to force an election if they pursue the referendum, Stasny said. An option would be to directly attack in court the rezoning ordinance, he said. Webb said the opposing residents had made a previous decision on legal action, but refused to disclose it because further discussion is needed. "It's a question of making sure we know what lies ahead," he said. The Eagle, Friday, February 27, 1981 Citizens' group To the editor: Recently I have attended and participated in several College Station neighborhood meetings and the most recent Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting. The main issues considered at these meetings concerned the potential impact of future development on nearby residential neighborhoods. Most often this planned development required that the city change the zoning near residential neighborhoods to allow for a different sort of land use (nonresidential) or 41and use at a higher density (apartments). The city officials who make these decisions seem to allow almost any or all changes unless neighborhood residents oppose the change and oppose it strongly. I live in Southwood Valley, and although it may seem that recent rezoning decisions have not concerned tracts near our area, two rezoning requests were passed upon .favorably at the last Planning and Zoning Commission 'meeting which are likely to have a significant impact on our neighborhood. A one hundred acre tract just west of 'the currently developed portion of Southwood Valley was rezoned for apartments. This request was approved even after the commission was informed that the city engineer had determined that the current sewage system serving the neighborhood could not handle the volume of sewage which the apartment development might create. A second request was also approved to rezone to commercial land use a large tract of land at the eventual junction of Deacon and Wellborn Road. There was no discussion of the potential traffic volume which Deacon might have to carry or any number of other questions which neighborhood residents would have raised. Therefore, to keep our neighborhood informed of issues like these and to represent neighborhood interests when necessary, I propose we follow the example of several other neighborhoods and form a citizen's group. To accomplish this as soon as possible, we have arranged to have the first organizational meeting of this new group at the College Station Middle School library on Thursday, March 5 at 7 p.m. I encourage all residents of Southwood Valley who are concerned about the future of our neighborhood to take the time to attend.

Beach College Station L, - Fa ther defended To the Editor; Today, I read the letter from Mrs. Ramona McNeal and would like to comment from the other side of the spectrum. How many people actually know how much time and energy, goes into being a city councilman? Since my father was elected five years ago he has been home three nights out of seven, if he is lucky. Besides the :regular council meetings there are committees to be served on and help sessions. Each councilman has to be on two or three committees as well as alternating on the Planning and Zoning Committee. Mrs. McNeal said the councilmen "...have shown selfish interest to better their own nests, whether it be financially or socially ..." Mrs. McNeal, I can personally tell you this is not true. My father has turned down offers to buy land because he does not want to be accused of being biased. Also councilmen receive no pay for their work. As for bet- tering himself socially it has actually deleted much 01 his social life because he has no time for it. A College Station city councilman spends an average of 20 to 30 hours a week working on matters concerning the city. Think carefully before you criticize the council, they are wonderful and hard working people. Margaret Ringer College Station The Eagle, Saturday, February 28, 1981 No Raintree decision By FRANK MAY Staff Writer After meeting several hours Friday night, a group of College Station residents opposed to the in- dustrial rezoning of property near the Raintree subdivision still reached no final decision on pur- suing legal action. Robert C. Webb, chairman of the Citizens for Responsible Government, which sought a referendum or repeal of the industrial rezoning, said residents must discuss the matter further with their attorney. Webb said the residents made a decision Friday night but wanted to discuss action with their at- torney, C. David Stasny, Saturday. Webb would not comment on the number of residents attending the Friday night meeting. Satsny said Thursday legal action against the city of College Station "is a very good possibility." The Eagle, Saturday, February 28, 1981 Gen e Why the gap between its rate and Bell's? By JACKIE CALMES Harte -Hanks Austin Bureau AUSTIN — In a new development near Dallas, folks are fighting to keep General Telephone Co. out. When they reach out to touch someone, the developers want South- western Bell Co. to help them do it. So they took their case to the Texas Public Utility Commission, which determines companies' service boundaries. A commission attorney says other developers Commission hearing examiner Phil Ricketts, in his are watching the case to see if they, too, can avoid or jilt report last year on GenTel's previous rate request, wrote: GenTel. "... it would be palpably unfair to expect or require all The reason developers and the businesses they want to telephone utilities to maintain the same or even a con - attract favor Bell over GenTel can be summed by a sistently similar standard of service. A small rural GenTel customer in the Dallas -area city of Irving. telephone company serving a sparsely populated area "You'd do just as well with two tin cans and a wax simply cannot be expected to perform like Southwestern string, City Attorney Don Rorschach says about Gen- Bell. a major subsidiary of one of the world's largest Tel's service. And the rates, he points out, are 30 to 80 corporations." percent higher than Southwestern Bell's. Ricketts named several Texas independents with Why the disparity? records of inadequate service and wrote that, by com- At the Texas Public Utility Commission, where a parison, GenTel "is significantly larger ... (and) it has hearing on GenTel's request for a $44.6 million increase in had a longer period of time since the creation of the annual revenues will begin April 27, General Counsel commission (in 1975) to implement improvements." Allen King says in reply that it's really not fair to compare the two telephone companies. "When you talk about GenTel, you have to look at it as an independent," King says. "There are independents — and then there's Bell." Bell is better able than smaller independents to sub- sidize its local rates — to charge less than it costs Bell to provide the service — by charging premium rates for long- distance service, King said. Though GenTel also has long- distance service, he says, Bell has more of the "high- density, High - profit" routes. The few independents that do have local rates com- parable to Bell's, King says, either scrimp on spending for service improvements or are in no- growth rural areas that require only routine maintenance. King is less willing to excuse GenTel's service, which he says is poor due to company negligence. But he says he "won't argue that management is better at Bell than at General." Other attorneys involved in the rate case do argue that, though not publicly. GenTel's vice president of marketing and customer service, R. Rex Bailey, defends his company against unfavorable comparisons with Bell by citing its rapid growth and less lucrative service area. Growth necessitates expensive equipment to be added, replaced and maintained, he says. The customer area, he adds, is largely ranch and farm country — less populous and more costly to serve than the big cities where Bell dominates.

The projects are part of the city's $27.3 million capital improvements program tentatively slated for presen- tation to voters in a bond issue April 4. The tax increase would be proposed in 1983 and would be spread over a few years, increase and its effective date depends on when bonds are sold and their amount. The approximate 10 -cent tax rate increase, if made in a single year, would mean a resident owning a $60,000 home would pay about $60 more in taxes that year. The tax increase would continue each year to retire the 20 -year bonds, Elvey Ash, director of capital im- provements, said. City officials noted even the increased tax rate would still be far below current tax rates in Bryan, Temple, Killeen, Denton and Victoria. College Station's current rate is 39 cents. The actual tax figure used, applying the city's 80 percent assessment ratio, is 31 cents per $100 valuation. The projected tax rate increase for the $10.8 million in bonds is much lower than the projected tax rate increases for $3 million in bonds app roved three years ago. City Tax Assessor - Collector Glen Schroeder said the large disparity results from reappraisals during the last three years, dated change e f omt year, 80 percent to 100 percent assessment, and growth. Schroeder noted the city's tax valuations jumped from about $150 million in 1978 to about $300 million this year. They will again increase greatly in the next three years when much commercial, industrial and residential development is anticipated. The tax figures were presented to the planning and zoning commission during a workshop meeting Monday afternoon. The commission, on a 3 -1 vote, recommended to City Council approval of the $10.8 million in streets, building expansions, parks development and parks acquisition. However, that recommendation included advice to the council that if projects had to be cut, park land in the Harvey community and extension of Lincoln Street to University Drive should be the first to get the ax .

These issues are : (1) a government should be Desi Marek responsive to its citizens needs and concerns and (2) College Station information that is pertinent to significant decisions should be available to the public. If no such information exists as is sometimes the case, that should also be made known to the public. Does the city of College Station have a democratic form of government? Yes, we do have open meetings in which the citizens are allowed to offer their grievances and /or agreement with the City Council. However, when an individual does exercise his right of free speech he does so with some risk. I have sat through two city council meetings and have witnessed responsible, in- formed and caring individuals subjected to cruel, in- sulting and embarrassing cross examination by members of the city council. These private citizens were exercising their constitutional rights. These are not rights given to us by the city charter or state law. They are guaranteed by the United States Constitution.

Her opponent, incumbent Larry Ringer, says one of his reasons for seeking re- election is to carry out a com- mitment to protect a particular residential neighborhood.

P If elected, Thornberry said she would also work strongly on improving zoning. "You have to have zoning that is planned or otherwise you're going to have government by crises," she said. She stressed she is not "anti; industry" but "pro- planning" for industry. ,ham "I think the best thing that could ever happen to promote industry is the zoning because our city ad- ministration, I feel, has done more harm than any one individual or group could ever do because of their lack of adherence to zoning."

Favors its passage. Thornberry — Supports the program, but suggested elimination of the $1.1 million parkland acquisition proposition because existing parks first need develop- ment. Raintree Westinghouse Rezoning Ringer — The rezoning was handled the way the law prescribes handling of zoning matters. "I think it will serve Raintree as well with this (industrial) zone as with any zone." If the land developed as residential, traffic probably would have increased in the subdivision. But with the industrial zone, the council can restrict the in- dustry"s access to the Highway 6 bypass and require heavy landscaping, much open space and other building constraints. Thornberry — "The secrecy by which this controversy was handled can't be tolerated by an intelligent, responsive citizenry." If resident input was solicited and considered, architectural plans presented and an in- dustrial park or site designated, the problem could have been eliminated. The council acted irresponsibly. "This is a prime example of a lack of pro - planning for industry." • The Eagle, Thursday, March 12, 1981 08 Legal NOtICeE Said election shall be held Q$ Leg81 NOtICeS in conjunction with the City I The following state officials of College Station where an and other designated election precinct is served persons are hereby Ordinance No. 1267 by a common polling place Precinct No. 20, Polling authorized to be present at and election judge.

Gardner — Residents affected by the rezoning should have received "more sensitivity and cooperation." Adequate study of the impact of the industrial rezoning was not conducted by officials. The "combative attitude" against the opposing residents was "disturbing." The council's decision was incorrect. The Eagle, Friday, March 13, 1981 Area tax exemptions d u e March 3l By DEBBIE GRAVES homestead disabled veterans. disabled persons Staff Writer homestead, open -space land and agricultural use. Area residents have until March 31 to file for tax To claim a homestead exemption, the taxpayer must exemptions. own the home and live in it, Brazos County Central Ap- While the amount of the exemption varies between praisal District's chief appraiser John Neece said. taxing bodies, the exemption categories are the same. The same qualifications apply for the over 65 homestead Exemptions available are regular homestead, over 65 exemption plus the homeowner must prove he or she is more than 65 years old by Jan. 1 of the tax year. People claiming the disabled person homestead exemption must be 100 percent disabled, Neece said. The disabled veteran exemption is not necessarily a homestead exemption, he said. The disabled veteran needs a letter from the Veteran Administration verifying the disability and it must be filed in the tax office. The VA is usually late sending out the letters, Neece said, so his office will accept the letters after the deadline if the delay is the fault of the VA. Individuals who earn 51 percent of their gross income from their land and spend 51 percent of their time working the land qualify for agricultural -use tax deferments, Neece said. When the ownership of the land changes, there is a three -year rollback and the new owner must pay the difference between the taxes paid and taxes that would have been paid if it had been assessed at market value plus penalty and interest. The open -space land exemption has been in effect since j 1978. Land being used for agricultural purposes qualifies regardless of the owner of the time spent working the 11 land, Neece said. The land must be used for agricultural purposes during the current tax year and for five out of the past seven years. A five -year rollback is calculated the same way as the agricultural -use deferment, Neece said, but it is the land use that triggers it and not a change of ownership. If the land is not used for agricultural purpose, there will be a tax rollback. While the deadline is March 31, Neece said a day of grace is usually given. Taxpayers may file for exemptions at the central ap- praisal district office for Bryan school and city taxes. Others may file for exemptions at the county tax office at the courthouse, the City of College Station tax office in City Hall or the College Station Independent School District tax office on Timber. • The Eagle, Friday, March 13, 1981 1 Q$ Legal Notices (08 Legal Notices ( Legal Notices 108 Legal Notices COLLEGE STATION, DE eleccion, y preparando las Precinto No. 31 Sitio de h.

"This (ordinance) will regulate those selling precious metals which perhaps does not belong to them," Mayor Gary Halter said. Under the new law, the dealer will be required to wait 72 hours after the purchase before he can alter or sell the property, and no person below the age of 18 will be allowed to sell used jewelry or precious metals unless he has the written consent of a parent or guardian. The ordinance requires the owner of a temporary used jewelry business in the city to deliver the records of purchases to the chief of police within 24 hours of terminat- ing the temporary location.

The Eagle, Friday, March 27, 1981 1 • Coun cil reform To the editor; College Station City Council reform should be con- sidered in at least two areas. The first, concerns the council's avowed interest in citizen input. Input would be increased if citizens could obtain fact based answers. Any dissenting input by citizens is greeted with accusations of being naive, uninformed or of a belief in obsolete myths. Citizen input needs to be respected and considered if you wish it to continue. The second much needed council reform concerns conflict -of- interest. Any commissioner or council member who owns, is developing, constructing on or near, selling or purchasing, or could benefit from zone changes because property is adjacent to, across from or affected by rezoning should declare him or herself in conflict -of- interest.

Pleasing all subscribers and readers is an impossible task. Meeting deadlines adds to the errors and mistakes which appear too frequently. Most of us accept these as unavoidable. However, errors of judgment are another matter. I refer to the Eagle's refusal to cover the joint signing of a document by Mayor Smith of Bryan and Mayor Halter of College Station proclaiming "that the month of April be declared Beautify Brazos County Month and that April 11, 1981 be declared as Clean Up Day." The proclamation also detailed what the cities are prepared to do April 11, with instructions for home owners and businesses to cooperate for disposal of their litter. The mayors also encouraged civic groups, schools, churches and service clubs to participate in the clean up. We remind you that April has also been declared national Keep America Beautiful Month and our , Governor and the Beautify Texas Council have declared it Beautify Texas Month. The spokesman for the Eagle is quoted as saying "Coverage of proclamations does not help sell newspapers." Not being in the newspaper business we cannot evaluate that statement. But we can evaluate the importance of this action of the two mayors, and what it means to the total cooperative effort of our county. Furthermore the information contained in the proclamation is essential to all individuals and groups in their efforts to comply with city instructions. Granted that selling newspapers is important to the Eagle, so is keeping local readers informed on matters of county -wide activities. How often does the Eagle find a feature story of county -wide interest, involving all ages from pre - school to status citizens volunteering on a project endorsed and encouraged by our two cities? And it was good news too — not crime, drugs, greed or graft. Each year when the Governor's Achievement Awards are handed out at the annual meeting of the Beautify Texas Council, representatives of the media in the winning cities are right up there accepting the honors, too. The media receives repeated plaudits for the large part they played in helping make the winning cities beautiful, clean and proud. When we make enough progress in Brazos County to receive a state award we hope representatives of our media will be there because they have earned their share of the recognition. We suggest a reappraisal of priorities might be in order. J.C.

Mayo, Jr. Director of Planning The Eagle, Wednesday, April 1, 1981 • Bond i s sue highlight CS baliot By FRANK MAY Staff Writer With a $27.3 million bo bond issue, a poll on future development of the city and three hotly-contested city council races, the ballots in the College Station City election are already stuffed. The long list of decisions residents must make in the Saturday election is expected to result in large crowds at voting places. Turnout among Texas A &M University students is also expected to be high this year, said Mary Elizabeth Herring, student government liaison to City Council. Herring noted more students are registered voters this year because of a successful drive last fall for the general election. In that election, 72 percent of the 15,000 registered College Station voters turned out. In the 1980 city election, 18 percent of 6,763 registered voters cast ballots. But the chief reason for the expected high turnout is, ironically, a City Council decision in January to rezone 54 acres near the Raintree subdivision. That rezoning allows Westinghouse Electric Corp. to build a defense radar component manufacturing plant on the site. That rezoning spurred the creation of conflicting residents groups and later the filing of three challengers to face incumbent City Council members in the election. Initially, one of the incumbents, Tony Jones, said he would not seek re- election. But two weeks after Jim Gardner, a strong opponent to the Westinghouse rezoning, announced he would run for the Place 5 seat, Jones reversed his decision. That race, as expected, has become the most visible and probably the closest. Both of the candidates have served time on the council and the planning and zoning commission. Both have strong support from a chunk of the city populace. The Eagle, Thursday, April 2, 1981 • • Gardner has been endorsed by the Area Voters for • Action, a political action committee, and many Raintree residents support him. Jones, meanwhile, has displayed a list of 750 supporters of himself and other council members. He has been en- dorsed by Mayor Gary Halter. On contributions and spending through March 25, Jones far surpassed Gardner. The largest contributions to Jones' campaign came mostly from business and developer interests. Gardner received a single contribution more than $50 from a local planner. Jones' campaign treasurer is Philip Springer. Jones, 33, owns a construction firm. Gardner, a 60- year -old planning professor at Texas A &M, is his own campaign treasurer. Jones has used local media much more than Gardner, holding two press conferences in March to relay his views to residents. The two candidates stand apart on various issues. Jones supports the bond issue. Gardner supports only parts of it. Jones says the city's growth has not been too rapid. Gardner says he prefers keeping growth in line with city services.' Another council race that has become intense as the election nears is the Nancy Thornberry-Larry Ringer contest. Thornberry, the challenger, and Ringer, the incumbent, tussled early this week on the topic of real estate holdings and conflicts of interest. Each of the candidates revealed their land ownings, which Thornberry had requested, and both denied any conflicts. Ringer, 43, is a statistics professor at Texas A &M. Thornberry, 36, is a teacher at College Hills Elementary School. Ringer received ablut three times the amount of con- tributions Thornberry garnered through late March. His largest contribution came from his wife, Jean, who also serves as his campaign treasurer. Thornberry's campaign treasurer is Henry Dethloff. In spending, Thornberry more than doubled Ringer's effort. Turn to CS OFFICIALS, page 2A.

I have found Mr. Jones a concerned and caring individual. He cares about our community, the citizens in it and the employees who work for the city. I think it goes without saying that he is a marl who translates concern into action. In the time he has been in office he has demonstrated his concern for many areas of our city government. One I am aware of is his work and devotion to upgrading salaries and working conditions for all city employees. Every election you can bet on candidates saying much about Police and Fire needing better salaries, etc. Most often there is no follow -up after the election. Mr. Jones cared enough to ride with patrol officers to see first hand just what the problems are and what the men are feeling about their situation. i-le translated this into working up a new salary paygrade scale. As a parent I'm also concerned about our school system and the programs it will have to offer my child in the future. I personally feel we need an expanded tax base to absorb the cost of programs. Most of us do not want to cut back on school services �•- and few of us want a hugh tax increase. The future will take a person who is not only interested and concerned but has ability to make critical decisions about a variety of problems and challenges facing the city. He must: be able to make "balanced" judgements. In other words, he must consider all options and what is best for ALL of the ?ommunity. He does care about the integrity of our neighborh, but as a citizen I see not only beauty being a part of that integrity, but the safety of our entire city.

Gardner was de- sion. feated in the municipal election by a margin of 19 votes. Jones received 1,316 votes, or 50.4 percent, and Gardner re- ceived 1,297 votes, or 49.6 per- cent of the vote. Gardner said he requested the recount after some of his suppor- ters urged him to do so. "It'll satisfy the people who supported me," Gardner said. "By doing it, some may think I'm a bad loser. I'm not a bad loser. Its not that at all. ... It was just so close." Gardner also said the accuracy of the computer's counting of the votes could be questioned be- cause 28 more votes were cast for Place l's race than in Place 5's race. But voter error could account for the discrepancy, Gardner said. Some voters may have missed voting for some of the races because of their location on the ballot. Jones, however, said the com- puter used in the counting is accu- rate within 0.001 percent, so he did not question its accuracy. The recount was held at 10 this morning in College Station City Hall.

Gardner, a Texas A &M Univer- sity urban and planning professor, was defeated in the municipal election Saturday by a margin of 19 votes. With the recount's tot- als, Gardner Lost the race by 18 votes, bringing his total number of votes up to 1,298. Incumbent Tony Jones won the race with 1,316 votes. Gardner had petitioned Dis- trict Judge Tom McDonald for a recount of the votes after several of his supporters had urged him to do so, he said. The votes cast in Saturday's election were officially canvassed in a council workshop meeting Wednesday. New councilman Dr. Alvin Prause and incumbents Jones and Larry Ringer were sworn in at the session. As a result of recent rezoning decisions by the city council, sev- eral citizens opposition groups had formed and campaigned to some extent against the three in- cumbent councilmen seeking re- election — Ringer, Jones and Roy W. Kelly. As a result, all three of the incumbent candidates cam- paigned on a platform of better communication between the city government and its citizens, Jones, in an interview after the election, however, said that he does not expect continued opposi- tion from any of the groups. The Battalion, Thursday, April 9, 1981 "Their intentions are good," Jones said. "I hope the doors open, and I think we will have good communications." When asked if he planned to seek election to the council again, Gardner replied: "I'll be watching and staying on planning and zoning."

The ordinance would establish a new zone called "planned commercial" for mostly low traffic generators, City Planner Al Mayo said. Businesses permitted in the new zone would in- clude car washes, cleaners and laundries, garages, radio and television stations, repair shops, and liquor establishments with only off - premises consumption. The new zone would split the current general commercial zone, Mayo said. Restrictions on the businesses in the new C -3 zone would be the same as those on general commercially -zoned firms, he noted. The commission will hold a public hearing on the ordinance. Another public hearing will be held on the rezoning of a portion of Culpepper Plaza at the southeast corner of Dominik Drive and Puryear Street from high density apartment to general commercial. The commission will also consider in its 7 p.m. meet ;ng final plans on the Hancock Center to be built on the northeast corner of Highway 30 and the Highway 6 bypass and the University Park Addition off Tarrow Street and University Drive.

The Eagle, Thursday, May 14, 1981 Budget hearing dates to be set By FRANK MAY Staff Writer College Station City Council Thursday will con- sider bids for construction of the community center and schedule hearings on the 1981 -82 fiscal budget. City officials and an architect have recom- mended the council award the community center bid to Jordan and Woods at $713,000. The center is being built at the College Station school district's special services building at 1300 Jersey Street. The council must also decide if it wants brick in the current building removed for about $25,000. The council is also set to sr' aule a date for a public hearing on the 1981 -82 budget unu oo the revenue sharing fund schedule. The proposed budget will be initially presented to the council in a 4 p.m. workshop session today. Preliminary figures on the budget indicate it amounts to $23.2 million, about a 9- percent increase over last year, City Manager North Bardell said. City employees will get a 9- percent cost of living increase, according to the proposed budget, and some utility rates will increase. The rate increases, Bardell said, are needed to pay off utility bonds expected to be sold in the coming fiscal year. The bonds were approved by • voters last month. However, the city has planned to attempt to sell some utility bonds next month but may delay the sale because of soaring interest rates, Bardell said. No tax increase is in the proposed budget. In other business at the 7 p.m. meeting Thursday, the council will consider an ordinance amending the Lone Star Gas franchise to allow the gas company to maintain and be responsible for gas lines up to meters. The ordinance is similar to the provision recently considered by Bryan City Council. The council will vote on two rezonings: — A 43,000- square foot tract on Meadowland Street about 1,000 feet north of University Drive from general commercial to medium density apartment. — A 3.3 -acre tract off Welsh Boulevard near Nueces Drive from neighborhood business to low density apartment. The planning and zoning commission recommended denial of the rezoning. trk The Eagle, Wednesday, May 13, 1981 1 O8 Legal Noticsa NOTICE OF BOARD OF E Q U A L I Z A T I O N MEETING CITY OF COLLEGE STATION In obedience to an order of the Board of Equalization regulary convened and sitting, notice is hereby given that said Board of Equalization will be in session at its regular meeting place in the City Hall, City of College Station, Texas, at 7 o'clock P.M. on Wednesday, the 20th day of May, 1981, and at 7 o'clock P.M. on Thursday, the 21st day of May, 1981 for the purpose of determining, fixing and equalizing the value of any and all taxable property situated in the City of College Station, until such values have finally been determined for taxable purpose for the. year 1981, and any and all persons interested, or having business with said Board, are here notified to be present.
