The College Station Parks and Recrea-

Lick Creek Park.
The park, located in southern College
Station on Greens Prairie Road, is the
center of a controversy over park use and
protection of endangered species.
The parks board approved in January
an off-road bike race — the Lick Creek
Challenge — for Sunday. At the January
meeting and at February meeting of the
board, environmental groups have
criticized the boards actions.
The environmental groups see the race
as a threat to the habitat of Navasota
Ladies' Tresses, an orchid on the U.S.
Department of Interior's list of endang-
ered species.
Members of the parks board have said
that a use policy for the park will be de-
veloped after the race. If the board sees
the race as damaging to the park, it could
prohibit other races and even recom-
mend an ordinance to the College Station
City Council that would ban bikes from
the park.
The board will meet at the parks de-
partment headquarters in Central Park
at 4:30 p.m., then proceed to the park for
a tour.

Bryan, CS lose Texas Games bid
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
Officials in Bryan and College Station
found out Monday that the 1993 Texas
Games will be held in the West Texas
town of El Paso.
The cities had filed a joint bid to host
the games with the Texas Amateur Athle-
tic Association in January. The cities
were hosts for the Texas Pepsi Games in
1988.
"I don't know why we didn't get it,"
Steve Beachy, College Station director of
parks and recreation. "It was the vote of
the membership (of the athletic fed-
eration)."
It's possible the federation just wanted
to go some place different, Beachy said.
John Blackburn, Bryan director of
community services, said he thought the
difference was money.
"My understanding is that we were
outbid," Blackburn said. "I also heard El
Paso promised to pay the air fare for TAAF
officials."
Bryan and College Station bid $15,000
for the games. El Paso offered $20,000 for
the games, Blackburn said.
Blackburn believes the federation will
be disappointed with the amount of par-
ticipation of athletes. A centrally located

city would do better, he said.
Blackburn thinks the cities did a great
Job in 1988.
"We've been told no opening ceremony
— before or since — has been as good as
the one we had at Olsen Field," Black-
burn said.
Blackburn said future attempts to
bring the games here would be con.
sidered later. He said he is working with
Beachy to establish an annual athletic
event the cities could run on their own.
"We have the facilities," Blackburn
said. "This past weekend we had 25 ten-
nis teams and 70 soccer teams in town."

CS Council OKs tax abatement
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council on
Thursday approved the request of S.A.
Holditch & Associates for a three -year,
100 percent tax abatement.
Holditch, a petroleum engineering firm
with offices in College Station and Pitts-
burgh, is seeking the abatement for a
new $1.1 million facility on Southwest
Parkway. The move will cost College Sta-
tion $12,000 in property taxes over the
three years.
Ronald Carter, executive vice president
of the firm, said the next step would be to
ask the College Station school district
and Brazos County for the same three -
year tax break. He did not know what the
total tax break for the company would be.
The agreement will have to reappear be-
fore the council for a public hearing be-
fore it is final.
The council approved an agreement
with W.D. Fitch for the extension of
Welsh Avenue. The agreement will con-
nect the portion of Welsh coming from
FM 2818 to the portion coming from Rock
Prairie Road.
But council members didn't seem
happy about it.
"The taxpayers are out $50 G's that
rightfully should be paid by the de-
veloper, and we were told it would be,"
said Councilman Dick Birdwell.
Fitch had sent a letter to the city saying
he could not afford to build the extension
because only seven lots bordered on the
new street. City policy is for developers to
build all streets on their property.
The council gave in to provide access to
the two new schools on Rock Prairie. City
staffers estimated the construction
would begin in May.
And it was a good day and a bad day for
library patrons. The council approved
funds to allow the College Station branch
of the Bryan Library to stay open an addi-
tional two hours on Wednesdays.
The extended hours will begin on April
2.
But when Birdwell moved to put a $2.2
million bond proposal for a new College
Station library facility on the May 4 bal-
lot, it died without a second.
"No one running for re- election wants
to second it," said Councilman Fred
Brown, who is seeking re- election for
Place 1 on the May 4 ballot.

The biggest part of the bypass project
will be construction of a bridge over the
East Bypass at Southwest Parkway. City
crews are working on the utility reloca-
tions necessary for that part of the
project. -
The Southwest Parkway bridge will re-
quire the street on the west side of the
bypass to be moved 130 feet to the south.
The move is necessary so that the bridge
will meet with Raintree Drive as it leaves
the Raintree subdivision.
The finished interchange will include
four ramps.
"The movements will be like the inter-
change at Highway 30," Zeigler said.
Zeigler estimated the whole East By-
pass project will be finished in the sum-
mer of 1992.
"The last phase will be actually turning
the access roads to one - way," Zeigler
said.

This spring, along with the green and
blue of fresh foliage and blooming wild-
flowers, local drivers will be seeing lots of
orange — on warning flags and traffic py-
lons at road construction projects.
Preliminary work has begun on the ex-
tension of FM 2818 in College Station,
which will connect the road with the East
Bypass at Emerald Parkway.
"We've had the pre- construction meet-
ing," said David McCannon, an assistant
resident engineer with the State Depart-
ment of Highways and Public Transporta-
tion in Brenham. "The documents are be-
ing processed."
The Brenham office is handling the
project to even the work load divided
among the Bryan District's five offices.
McCannon said the contractor had not
broken ground on the project, mainly be-
cause because of the weather.
"The work going on out there is mainly
utility relocation," McCannon said.
"There are water, sewer and power lines
that need to be replaced by the city. The
phone company and Lone Star (Gas) also
are working out there."
McCannon said construction work
should begin for the FM 2818 project by
the end of March. The project is sched-
uled to take 160 working days. The road
should be completed between December
of this year and the summer of 1992,
McCannon said, depending on the
weather.
"A working day is Monday through
Saturday, when you can get seven hours
of continuous work in," McCannon ex-
plained.
College Station workers will shift the
end of Emerald Parkway to the north to
meet the extension of FM 2818. The city
is about one -third of the way through the
project, said Deborah Keating, a project
engineer with the city of College Station.
But the FM 2818 construction is not
the only project in the area.
The East Bypass will be the center of
activity, as the highway department pre-
pares to make the access roads one -way.
"We're rebuilding and adding ramps
along the East Loop," Zeigler said. "There
will be something done at every inter-
change."
The highway department is moving the
on- and off -ramps along the bypass fur-
ther away from the interchanges to re-
lieve congestion. New ramps will be built
at Old Reliance and Woodville roads to
ease the switch to one -way roads, Zeigler
said.

Don't extend Welsh Avenue
The College Station City Council is at it
again.
Council members seem to have the idea
that we have sense enough to vote them
into office, but not enough sense to vote
for the issues they want approved. It
might surprise them to learn that we DO
know what we vote for or against and that
we DO have memories longer than two
inches in front of our noses.
They are harping on extending Welsh
Avenue again. This has been rejected by
the voters. The city does not need the ex-
pense of widening Welsh Avenue for the
benefit of Texas A &M University. The city
has just resurfaced and widened Welsh
Avenue, making it more of a speedway,
although not what it would be if it went to
George Bush Drive.
Fairview Avenue is already a four -lane
street from George Bush Drive to Holle-
man Drive, with curbs and gutters. If
parking were banned on the street, it
would be a good access street.
Jim Gardner is right — Munson and
Welsh avenues are "Scud subjects."
Nancy Crouch says it's no fun being tied
in traffic. She must avoid Texas Avenue
at University Drive, Holleman Drive and
Southwest Parkway. Dick Birdwell
sounds like a parrot, and he's right —
there will be a lot of upset people.

Council to reconsider contract ,
for CS traffic control system
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council on
Thursday night will reconsider the engi-
neering contract for the city's traffic con-
trol system, after a city attorney said pre-
vious council action was in conflict with
state law.
The council meets at 7 p.m. on Thurs-
day.
The staffs original recommendation on
Feb. 28 was to hire the Dallas firm of Bar -
ton-Aschman and Associates.
But the council decided to hire the
Bryan engineering firm of Walton & Asso-
ciates, even though city staffers had
ranked the firm last among three appli-
cants.
Council members reasoned that Wal-
ton was a qualified firm and that the city
should use local firms.
Under state law, a city cannot enter
into a contract based on price. The city
must decide which bidder is most quali-
fied and then negotiate a price.
If a settlement cannot be reached, the
city can begin negotiating with the firm
that was rated as the second -most quali-
fied.
A memo from assistant city attorney
Ilse Bailey- Graham states that in her
opinion, the city cannot begin negotiating
witli Walton.
"My legal opinion, based on a reading of
this statute, is that despite council in-
structions, the staff is prohibited from
entering into a contract with Walton &
Associates until we formally break off ne-
gotiations with Barton- Aschman, enter
into negotiations with our second - ranked
firm (Kimley -Horn and Associates of Dal-
las), fail to reach a satisfactory agreement
with them, and formally break off these
negotiations as well," Bailey - Graham
wrote.
"The city wouldn't be punished,"
Bailey - Graham said on Monday. "But
any contract would be void."
If Walton did the work and the city paid
for it, there would be no fines and not
necessarily any legal action, she said.
"But we'd be doing a void act and I can't
recommend staff take up a void act,"
Bailey- Graham said.
Councilwoman Lynn McIlhaney voted
to award the contract to Barton -
Aschman. She said she doesn't know
what will happen to the contract now.
"My understanding is that the direc-
tion the council gave the staff is some-
thing that can't be carried out," McIl-
haney said. "I don't know what action
we'll take."
McIlhaney said she is concerned the
city may not be able to meet state -
imposed deadlines and could lose
$240,000 in state grants for the project.
"We have to have certain studies done
by certain dates," McIlhaney said. "If the
council goes through the whole process of
choosing an engineer, it will put a tight

rein on that timetable."
McIlhaney said she would have
a problem with negotiating with
Kimley -Horn, the firm ranked
second -most qualified by the city
staff.
" I make decisions in good faith,"
she said. " I would be against ne-
gotiating with a firm when there is
no intention of hiring them."
Councilman Fred Brown said
he thinks the council will go with
the original staff recommendation
of Barton- Aschman.
"Ron (Ragland, College Station
city manager,) called me last week
about it," Brown said. " I told him 1
didn't have a problem (with going
with the original choice.)
"We weren't informed of the
problems when we made our de-
cision," Brown said. " I wish
someone on the staff had spoken
up.'
Brown would still like to see
more local consulting firms used
on city projects.
"Absolutely," Brown said. "As
long as they stack up against the
out -of -town firms. Any time you
use local talent, you're better off.
"But we don't need to be break-
ing the law," Brown said.
The council will also meet at 4
p.m. on Wednesday. Both meet-
ings will be held in the College

Op The College Station City Council de-
I cided Wednesday not to change the
process the city is using to select profes-
sional services.
But at least one city councilman wants
the council to disregard a staff recom-
mendation to hire a Dallas engineering
firm. Dick Birdwell said the city should
award a contract to a Bryan firm that the
staff ranked as less qualified than the
Dallas firm.
On Feb. 28, the council rejected the
recommendation of city staffers to hire
Barton - Aschman and Associates of Dal-
las for work on the city's traffic control
system. The council voted to award the
contract to Walton & Associates of Bryan.

The ethics statement says the em-

The minutes from the staff meeting

and capability to commit appropriate
time to the project, ability to work with

"It shouldn't be considered an insult,"
Birdwell said. "It's our responsibility to

Councilman Fred Brown said the staff
has made a practice of using local firms
when possible.
"I'm pleased that we are doing business
locally," Brown said, noting that figures
supplied by staff showed the city had giv-

CS helps out Bryan firefighters in battling blazes
By Chuck Squatriglia
Eagle staff writer
College Station firefighters assisted
Bryan firefighters who had their hands
full battling two fires that broke out
within 40 minutes of each other Wed-
nesday night.
Firefighters were extinguishing a fire
that started at about 7 p.m. at Eagle
Pass Apartments, 735 Eagle Pass,
when they were called to a fire at Pin-
feather Acres Mobile Home Park, 2208
Finfeather Road, at about 7:40 p.m.,
Assistant Fire Chief Mike Donoho said.
Three of Bryan's four pumper trucks
and the ladder truck were busy at the
apartment fire when the second fire
broke started, Donoho said. Officials
called for a pumper, a ladder and an
ambulance from College Station, he
said. College Station crews stayed at
the fire for about eight minutes before
Bryan crews arrived, he said.
Firefighters arrived at the complex at
about 7 p.m. and found smoke and fire
coming out of the second -floor windows
of apartment No. 9, Donoho said. The
tenant told firefighters she was down-
stairs when she smelled smoke coming
from the second floor of the loft -style
apartment, Donoho said. She went up-
stairs, heard a loud pop and saw the
10 -foot by 14 -foot room was filled with
smoke, he said.
Firefighters spent about 15 minutes
putting out the fire, which started near
a personal computer in the room and
spread to the ceiling, Donoho said. The
fire gutted the room and caused heat
and smoke damage to the rest of the
apartment, he said.
The second fire destroyed a mobile
home at Finfeather Acres and killed
several of the homeowner's pets, Don -
oho said. The resident was outside
when he noticed smoke coming out of
the trailer, Donoho said. When the man
realized the trailer was on fire, he tried
to save his cats and dogs, Donoho said.
Firefighters arrived at about 7:40
p.m. and found the home engulfed in
flames. They took about 20 minutes to
extinguish the fire, which investigators
said started when the home's gas fur-

nace malfunctioned, Donoho said.
The only injuries reported during the
night was a cut elbow the trailer home
owner suffered when he broke a
window to allow his animals to escape,
Donoho said.
Both fires are under investigation.
Donoho fought a car fire with a fire
extinguisher Thursday afternoon when
Central Station's firefighters were at
another call. A 1982 Camaro caught
fire in a shopping center across the
street from the station, 801 N. Bryan
St., at about 3:30 p.m., he said. The
driver of the car jumped out and a wit-
ness ran to the fire station. Dohoho
grabbed a fire extinguisher and ran to
help.
"I knocked it down, but I didn't put it
out" because the extinguisher ran out
of fluid, he said.
Firefighters arrived moments later
and extinguished the fire in about five
minutes, he said. Officials suspect a
faulty carburetor started the fire, which
destroyed the engine compartment,
Donoho said. There were no injuries.

The College Station Police Department
has a new office.
In an effort to increase communication
with citizens and to reduce crime in the
area, the department moved into apart-
ment No. 253 at Southgate Village
Apartments, 134 Luther St., last week.
The Southgate Village Substation will
be open each Tuesday between 10 a.m.
and 1 p.m. and each Thursday from 1 -4
p.m. Officers will take crime reports,
settle disputes, arrest criminals and offer
crime prevention tips, officer Scott Simp-
son said.
"We will be able to do anything here
that we can do at the station," he said.
The department lacks the manpower to
staff the substation full -time, but the
program is in an "experimental phase"
and the hours will be changed or
expanded as needed, he said.
The department chose to operate the
station during the day because officers
can meet more people during the day,
Simpson said. The main purpose of the
substation is to allow officers and citizens
to meet each other and know one another
on a first -name basis, he said.
By meeting residents personally, offi-
cers hope to gain their trust, Simpson
said. Once people trust police, they will
be more willing to report crimes or suspi-
cious activity and help during in-
vestigations, he said.
"People are much more willing to talk to
people they know," he said.
Simpson also wants to teach crime pre-
vention techniques and expand the
Neighborhood and Apartment Watch
programs in the neighborhoods around
the complex, something more easily done
during the day, he said.
The substation is part of the depart-
ment's Community Oriented Policing
Program, which started in February
1990. Under the program, officers patrol -
ing an area bordered by Nevada Street,
Wellborn Road, George Bush Drive and
Dexter Street are encouraged to spend at
least one hour a day walking through the
area meeting residents and business
owners, said Simpson, who coordinates
the program.
Simpson said he got the idea for the
substation in December. An empty build-
ing on Holleman Drive and an activity
room at the Lincoln Center were con-
sidered before Ann Hall and Janice
Burke, managers at Southgate Village,
offered to donate the apartment, Simp-
son said.
"This is really the best place to be be-
cause this is where the people are,"
Simpson said of the apartment, which is
at the center of the 200 - apartment com-
plex.
Burke said officers met with tenants of
the complex during a residents' meeting
and all agreed the apartment was an ideal
location. Most residents support the idea,
she said.
"It will give the tenants greater secur-
ity," Burke said. "It'll also allow people to
meet the police and know that they aren't
the enemy."

LoTrak should be built
Since its inception, I have been
• strongly in favor of the LoTrak project.
Michael Cusick's paranoid letter (Eagle,
Feb. 28) has induced me to voice my sup-
port. LoTrak should be implemented for
the following reasons:
■Most important is the fact that the
project will eliminate the danger to pedes-
trians crossing Wellborn Road. Every
day, hundreds of students, most of them
in a hurry, cross Wellborn Road to get to
classes on the other side. With LoTrak,
the chance of a student or other citizen
being hit by a car is virtually zero.
■LoTrak will speed up and improve ac-
cess to adjacent neighborhoods because
one will not have to wait for a train to
pass or wait at as many stop lights. Traf-
fic flow will be improved at the now -
congested intersection of George Bush
Drive and Wellborn Road. In addition, the
intersection of Wellborn Road and F &B
Road will be infinitely safer under LoTrak,
as will the other train crossings affected.
■One complaint I have heard over and
over is that LoTrak will defile and lessen
the appearance of the community.
Anyone who had taken the time to go
down to the College Station City Hall and
not project a proud neighborhood or town
or county, but rather an uncaring and
OL undesirable appearance. It has nothing
to do with finances. A tiny modest home -
site, immaculately kept, can change the
appearance as well as attitudes. So
should we think about the tattered and
frazzled yellow ribbon vs. a tidy, clean
one? (We respect our U.S. flag in this
manner.) Perhaps smaller ones, easier to
replace, would be effective. I would think
that would show a more constant caring.
Let us be open to suggestions, yet
open- minded to a different opinion about
efforts of support. Let's not fight about
this, but just try to keep things tidy
where we can, to show we still care, be-
cause we do care so very much. God
bless!

OPINIONS
Deadline nearing to file
for city, school elections
•
Eagle Editorial Board
There are only three days left to file
to seek election to local offices in the
May 4 balloting.
Deadline is Wednesday to file for
the city council or school board races
in both Bryan and College Station. So
far, most of the incumbents have
filed for re- election, but very few peo-
ple have announced any challenges
to the current office- holders.
There is no question that serving
on either council or either school
board can be a time - consuming,
often thankless task. The hours it
takes to be responsible to the posi-
tion are long and sometimes interfere
with business or family life. It isn't
the one or two hours meeting in pub-
lic once or twice a month that takes
up the most time.
Rather, it is the countless hours
researching various problems, study-
ing the issues, talking on the phone
to people who are upset or who want
to express their thoughts on topics
coming before the elected bodies.
Still, the rewards can be great. The
elected officials have an opportunity
to make a difference, to shape the fu-
ture of College Station and Bryan in a
way few people can. It is a heady re-
sponsibility that requires a great deal
of care and concern for the commun-
ity coupled with a good deal of com-
mon sense.
But through it all, the only way to
really make a difference is to get in-
volved.

GardnYr should be re- elected
I am writing to support the re- election
of Councilman Jim Gardner to Place 5 of
the College Station City Council. His op-
ponent is a lawyer who indicated that he
had no special agenda or projects, but
had "long -range interests in the area." As
a voter, I believe those seeking public of-
fice should have an announced agenda
and be willing to state it clearly; other-
wise, voters are denied an informed
choice.
In our area, the expansion of an eco-
nomic infrastructure that generates new
wealth rather than recycles it is critical.
Voters can support this effort in many
ways. We can elect to school boards can-
didates with an agenda of academic excel-
lence. We can elect to city councils those
committed to enhancing the community,
particularly the infrastructure (streets,
water, sewer), the parks, and the vitality
of neighborhoods.
In the latter case, Gardner's perfor-
mance has been strong, honest, effective
and forthright. Clearly he has an agenda
and debates it openly. He has made an
enormous contribution to the quality of
this community, particularly to those of
us with small children who use the parks
and recreation facilities.
Most importantly, Gardner has consis-
tently and conscientiously provided Col-
lege Station citizens the important infor-
mation required to make informed de-
cisions on matters of city government:
For this, he deserves our strong support
during his re- election campaign.

rR C"ity Council to examine revisions to city charter
By phlllip Sulak
Eagle staff wr iter
The College Station City Council will
discuss possible changes to the city char-
ter at the council's Wednesday workshop.
"The first thing we have to decide is
how big a revision we want," said Mayor
Larry Ringer.
The charter revision committee came
up with a large number of revisions, but
only eight or nine are critical, Ringer said.
The charter committee presented its
findings in April, 1990.
The committee proposed changing
much of the charter's language to gen-
der- neutral, Ringer said. They also sug-
gested changes to bring the document up
to date with changes in state law.
One major change old b e and re-
and to the Po
ferendum, Ringer said.
Recall elections are called to remove an
elected official from office and re-
ferendums are called to approve or reject
city ordinances.
The revisions would change the num-
ber of voters needed to call a referendum
from a percentage of the registered voters
to a percentage of the voters who cast bal-
lots in the last municipal election, Ringer
said.
Requirements for forcing a recall e of
tions would change from 51 percent
the number of voters in the election in
question, to 40 percent.
"They also call for doing away with
needing 25 signatures to get eo t a ballot
to run for city council," Ring
The council will also discuss an agree-
ment with local pharmacists to provide
drugs for the city's health plan.
The city's health plan offers mail -order
L-1
drugs to employees. Local pharmacists
have complained because the city is not
'Buying the Brazos Valley.'
The Thursday meeting of the council
will feature a public hearing on a tax -
abatement request from S.A. Holditch &
Associates for an expansion of the com-
pany's building on Southwest Parkway.
Holditch, a petroleum engineering firm,
is seeking a three -year abatement for a
15,000 - square -foot office building, to be
built next to the current Holditch build-
ing.
The abatement v'�e mean $4,000 of the
less in city property

nesday and at 7 p.m. on Thursday. Both

- Marmacists, CS approve
plan to buy drugs locally
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
College Station employees and local
pharmacists should benefit from an
agreement between the city's personnel
department and the Brazos Valley Phar-
maceutical Association.
Pharmacists have criticized city offi-
cials because the city offers Flex Rx, a
program that allows members of the
city's health plan to buy prescription
drugs at a reduced cost. The pharmacists
complained that the city was not buying
locally, said Karen Pavlinski, College Sta-
tion's personnel director.
"I held a coffee to explain the city's posi-
tion," Pavlinski said. "I explained that the
health plan was designed to save the em-
ployees money, not bypass local busi-
nesses."
The pharmacists drafted a plan to en-
courage the use of generic drugs and offer
brand -name drugs at 4 percent below the
average wholesale price.
"You don't really make money at that
price," said Jim Durden, president of the
pharmaceutical association. "But it's
pretty hard not to come into a grocery
store for a prescription and not get some-
thing else."
Durden is a pharmacist at the Winn -
Dixie in Bryan.
Durden said the association will try to
educate the employees about generic
drugs, which have a higher profit margin
for retailers.
"We wanted to offer the same benefits
as the mail -order program, but allow the
employees to shop locally," Durden said.
The city will offer the contract to all
local pharmacies. The employees would
be able to get the reduced price at any
pharmacy that agrees to the contract.
"We will be able to offer the employees
more than a good price," Durden said.
"We will be there to counsel them when
they need help."
The local pharmacists wanted to send a
message to the mail -order drug com-
panies that they can compete, Durden
said.
Durden said the association has agreed
to meet with city employees at least three
times a year to answer employee ques-
tions about prescription drugs.
The College Station City Council will
vote on the agreement today at the coun-
cil's 7 p.m. meeting. The council will meet
in the College Station City Hall, 1101
Texas Ave. South.
CS City Council
debates three -year
terms for members
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
Members of the College Station City
Council Wednesday discussed a variety
of changes to the city's charter, including
three -year terms for council members.
Councilwoman Lynn McIlhaney was
the strongest proponent of three -year
terms.
"As the city grows, we need leaders who
will educate themselves and take the time
to get involved," McIlhaney said. "I don't
know if people are willing to get involved if
they know they might not be there next
year..
Council members come up for re-
election every two years.
Councilwoman Nancy Crouch was en-
thusiastic about the idea.
"It took me a year Just to get in the
groove," she said. Crouch was elected in
May 1990.
Councilman Jim Gardner said he
would vote to put it on the charter ballot,
but that he thought it would be defeated.
"It flies in the face of the 'throw the ras-
cals out' mentality in the country," Gard-
ner said.
"They're rascals, we're not," quipped
Mayor Larry Ringer.
Nov. 5 is the target date for the election.
City staffers estimate that a charter
election — including mailing a notice to
all registered voters — would cost the city
$26,000.
The council meets today at 7 p.m. at
College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave.

A College Station apartment complex is in the
cable business.
The College Station City Council Thursday ap-
proved a request from the Doux Chene Apart-
ments on FM 2818 to use satellite technology to
provide cable service to all the apartments in the
complex.
A representative from TCA cable opposed the
move, telling the council members on Wednesday
that they were setting a bad precedent.
Randy Rogers said at Wednesday's council
meeting that the council was allowing "cherry
picking." Franchises shouldn't be allowed to con-
fine their services to small, lucrative areas, he
said.
"Our franchise requires us to serve the entire
city limits," Rogers said. "We can't serve just the
well populated areas."
A staff report on the issue noted that TCA does
not have an exclusive agreement with the city to
provide cable service. If Doux Chene was not so
large — 352 units — that it had apartments on
both sides of a city street, the matter would not

have even been brought before
the council, the report stated.
The agreement with Doux
Chene says the apartment com-
plex will pay the city $1 for every
apartment hooked up to the new
cable system.
The city receives 35 cents per
customer from TCA, so the city
stands to make about $230 a
month more in franchise fees
under the new agreement.
Rogers said on Wednesday that
Doux Chene would not have to
meet the same requirements
placed on TCA.
"TCA provides free service to the
cities and the schools," Rogers
said. Channel 31 provides infor-
mation about the Bryan and Col-
lege Station school districts and
Texas A &M and Channel 11 fea-
tures information about the cities
of Bryan and College Station.
"We're providing two channels,"
Rogers said. "It's like us giving
shelf space to two unprofitable
products."
Rogers did not have any com-
ment on Thursday night, saying
he had said all he had to say on
Wednesday.

Most cities would form a Posse if the
finance director suddenly headed for
Florida.
But in College Station they bake you a
cake and Pat you on the back and give
You an engraved Ping putter.
William P. "Bill" Harrison, College Sta-
tion's director for Fiscal and Human Re-
sources, is headed for the sunny beaches
of Naples, Fla., where he starts as finance
director on Monday.
"1 Just thought it was time for
C hange,.' Harrison said. "All the prio
projects I was assigned when I got here
have been accomplished."
Harrison came to College Station from
Lafayette, Colo., 3 �i years ago.
Harrison leaves College Station with
the respect — and gratitude — of the
city's top managers.
Bill has more than paid for himself;"
said College Station City Manager Ron
Ragland. "Using his expertise in invest-
ing, he has made the city of College Sta-
tion over $1 million in the three -yea
period.
"Not only has he paid for his job, but he
has helped keep taxes down in College
Station," Ragland said. "He's also left in
Place the policies and programs to con-
tinue those kind of results."
Ragland said budget director Glenn
Schroeder will be the interim finance di-
rector.
Both Harrison and his wife have family
in Florida. Harrison will join his brother
In Florida, and they hope to entice their
Parents in Michigan to retire to the Sun-
shine State.
Harrison plans to spend time on his
father - in -law's deep -sea fishing boat and
on the many golf courses in the area.
"MY wife's folks said it never got above
95 last summer and there is always a gulf
breeze," Harrison said.

obituaries written for College Station's
portion of LoTrak may have been premature.
officials with the city of C Station, b
t h e State Department of Highway and
lic Transportation and Texas A &M Universi-
ty are discussing ways to get LoTrak built in
College Station.
"LoTrak can be achieved if we pool our re-
sources," College Station Councilman Fred
Brown said. He said the project can be put
together without asking voters to accept a
bond sale or tax increase.
College Station voters rejected $3 million
in LoTrak funding in a December bond elec-
tion, but Brown has two ideas for getting the
project built in College Station.
The first idea involves landowners donat-
ing right -of -way, thus cutting costs for Col-
lege Station.
Please see LoTrak, 9A
City, state and university officials are discussing ways to get LoTrak built in College Station.

CS LoTrak dlscusslan
LoTrak
From 1A
Edsel Jones owns land west of
the tracks and south of Holleman
Drive. He has contacted landown-
ers west of the tracks and said
most are willing to donate land.
"I've worked for about a month
to get the landowners to go along
in return for tax abatements,"
Jones said. "I've received favora-
ble responses, if not a commit-
ment."
Jones said College Station city
staffers also responded favorably.
City Manager Ron Ragland said
the city is not pushing LoTrak,
but is keeping the door open for
discussion.
"This is not a city project, but it
does impact the city," Ragland
said. "We're trying to make the
best of the situation. We don't
want the project to adversely af-
fect the city's thoroughfare plan."
Ragland said landowners
should donate land if they want
the project built, since frontage
on a major highway would push
up their property values.
While those west of the tracks
seem to favor the donation, Jones
said he didn't even try to talk to
the land owners on the east side
of Wellborn Road.
Right -of -way acquisition on the
east side of the road would in-
clude the Varsity II Apartments at
the intersection of George Bush
Drive and Wellborn, and a portion
of the land owned by the Unitar-
ian Fellowship. The church op-
posed LoTrak in the December
bond election.
But the donations on the east
side of the road may not be neces-
sary.
Sixty -eight percent of the traf-
fic on Wellborn Road south of
Bush is created by A &M," Brown
said. "If we can get A &M to pay for
68 percent of our costs and then
get the land on the west side of the
tracks donated, then the city's
costs are down to about
$500,000. We can pay for that out
of our regular budget over two or
three years."
Brown said he has talked to
A &M President William Mobley
about the plan and that A &M offi-
cials are researching the idea.
The second idea has the city
providing water to Texas A &M, al-
lowing the university to postpone
building a $6.6 million water line.
In return, the university would
pick up the tab for College Sta-
tion's portion of LoTrak.
John Woody, College Station's
assistant city manager for opera-
tions, said talks with A &M offi-
cials have produced "no commit-
ment, just discussion."
James B. Bond, Texas A &M's
deputy chancellor and general
counsel, said he hadn't heard of
Brown's plan. But he didn't dis-
miss it.
"We're open for anything," Bond
said. "I'm not familiar with it, but
it seems to me that Fred is saying,
'Where there's a will, there's a
way.' I admire his positive think-
ing."
LoTrak will lower the Southern
Pacific railroad tracks along Well-
born Road. The original plan
called for lowering the tracks and
portions of Wellborn Road be-
tween Villa Maria Road in Bryan
and FM 2818 in College Station.
LoTrak will improve access be-
tween A &M's west and main cam-
puses and add another north -
south traffic corridor to comple-
ment Texas Avenue.
Since the December bond
defeat, highway engineers have
drawn new plans that would stop
the project at Bush.
Brown said he believes College
Station residents would be happy
to have LoTrak if they didn't have
to pay for it.
"I think it would fly," Brown
said.

CS outpacing Bryan in construction projects
By Teri Walley
Eagle business editor
While more commercial building permits were is-
sued in March in College Station than the year be-
fore, Bryan is marching in place.
According to building permit reports released by
both cities, College Station issued three permits for
new commercial construction, with a combined
value of $662,133.
That compares with one new commercial project,
valued at $3,500, in Bryan.
The College Station projects were lease space
alongside Randall's supermarket, 607 University
Drive East; Chili's Grill & Bar, .1063 Texas Ave.; and
a building at Greens World, 1005 East Bypass.
College Station issued 76 percent more permits for
new houses than Bryan did in March.
College Station issued 29 permits for new houses,
with a combined value of almost $3 million. The
average home price was $102,982.
In Bryan, the city issued only seven permits for
new houses, with a combined value of $605,016. The
average house price was $86,430.
The value of College Station housing construction
declined, from an average of $130,069 in March
1990 to $102,982 this year.
For Bryan, the value increased, from $81,658 last
March to this year's $86,430.
Neither city issued permits for new duplexes nor
apartments this March or last.
So far this year, College Station has issued 56
permits for houses, with a combined value of $5.7
million or an average of $102,460.
Bryan has issued 15 permits for houses, with a
combined value of $1.175 million or an average of
$78,388 per house.
Bryan issued one permit in March for a public
building, valued at $219,480, and College Station
Issued none.
College Station issued seven permits for commer-
cial remodelings, with a total value of $98,800; 10 for
residential remodelings, valued at $42,200; and two
permits for swimming pools, valued at $39,572.
In March, Bryan issued 10 permits for commercial
remodelings, valued at $97,000; 20 permits for resi-
dential remodelings, valued at $108,796; and no
permits for swimming pools.

Council tours site of Saturday's Big Event cleanup
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council took
the bus to work Wednesday, touring the
area scheduled for a spring cleaning in
Saturday's Big Event.
"lea just a way to make the council
aware of our efforts," said Jo Carroll, the
administrator of College Station's com-
munity development department. "We
wanted to show the impact well have on
the area by taking them to see what it
looked like before the Big Event."
So instead of the usual workshop, the
council went on a field trip, touring the
Eastgate area bordered by University and
Tarrow drives and Lincoln and Texas
avenues. Texas A&M students will des-
cend on the neighborhood Saturday,
cleaning up trash, painting houses and
mowing lawns.
The department received replies from
42 of the 70 land owners in the area ask-
ing for help during the Big Event, Carroll
said.
"A lot of families have already started
cleaning up on their own," Carroll said.
"They've called the city to ask for special
trash pickup of the junk they collected
from their yards."
The city is spending $5,000 in co
munity development funds on Saturday's
project.
The tour also took the council to the
Southgate area, between Welsh Avenue,
Wellborn Road and Bush and Holleman
drives, to show off houses improved by
the city's rental rehabilitation program.
The council will meet tonight at 7 p.m.
in the City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. South.

County predicts alteration
of all precinct boundaries
By Jim Hiney
Eagle atatt writer
Brazos County commissioner
precincts most likely will have a
new look by November.
Commissioners must come up
with a redistricting plan that
receives U.S. Justice Department
approval by the end of the year,
and all precincts will probably
have to be redrawn.
"To be able to comply with
guidelines of redistricting, there's
going to be a need to move boun-
dary lines within all commis-
sioner precincts," said Pct. 2
Commissioner Walter Wilcox.
Steve Bickerstaff, a partner in
the Austin law firm Bickerstaff,
Heath and Smiley, met with
commissioners and County Judge
R.J. "Dick" Holmgreen for almost
two hours Thursday. He presen-
ted 1990 census figures that his
firm will use to help commis-
sioners redraw precinct lines.
Bickerstaff helped develop the
county's redistricting plan in
1980.
State and federal guidelines
must be met before the Justice
Department will accept a plan,
Bickerstaff said.
The two major guidelines re-
quire that precincts be roughly
equal in population and that min-
ority precincts maintain or in-
crease their proportion of black
and Hispanic residents.
According to census informa-
tion Bickerstaff provided, 121,862
people live in Brazos County. Di-
x the population by four,
Bickerstaff said each precinct
ideally should contain 30,466
people.
Pct. 1, with 35,491 residents, is
16.5 percent larger than the ideal
size, he said. Pct. 4, with 26,803
residents, is 12 percent smaller
than ideal size, Bickerstaff said.
Adding the two percentages
together, Bickerstaff said the

county's average deviation is 28.5
percent.
"The courts have historically
held that 10 percent is acceptable
deviation," he said.
Census figures show 29,349
people live in Pct. 2 and 30,219
live in Pct. 3.
Pct. 4 is the only precinct that
qualifies as a minority precinct.
Census figures show the popula-
tion in Pct. 4 is 25.6 percent black
and 25.9 percent Hispanic.
Commissioners must redraw
precincts so that the population
in Pct. 4 increases. At the same
time, they have to make sure Pct.
4's percentage of blacks and His-
panics doesn't shrink.
Commissioners discussed giv-
ing Pct. 4 a larger part of either
Bryan or College Station. Pct. 4
Commissioner Milton Turner, a
Democrat, said he doesn't want
any more of traditionally Republi-
can College Station.
Commissioners also discussed
redrawing justice of the peace
precinct lines to reduce the num-
ber of JPs from eight to six.
By law, Bryan and College Sta-
tion must have two JP precincts
each. Each city now has one JP
precinct comprising two justices
serving in Place 1 and Place 2.
Commissioners suggested do-
ing away with either Place 1 or
Place 2 in each city and then ad-
ding another JP precinct in the
cities. The two remaining pre-
cincts would serve the rest of the
county.
Eventually, the federal govern-
ment will require that minority
residents of JP precincts have the
same right as those of commis-
sioner precincts, Wilcox said.
All four commissioners said
they'd rather not lose constitu-
ents, because those people elect-
ed them. But commissioners also
said they don't think there will be
any fighting among them while
they try to redraw precinct lines.

f+ Council OKs Doux Chene cable request
The College Station City Council
Thursday gave final approval to a fran-
chise agreement that allows the Doux
Chene apartment complex to provide
cable television service to its residents.
Randy Rogers, manager of Bryan's TCA
Cable office, had argued at previous
council meetings that the council was
setting a precedent by allowing the com-
plex to build a cable system. He said the
council should not allow cable companies
to come in and serve specific areas of the
city unless it forces the new cable com-
pany to provide the same services that
TCA does, such as governmental and ed-
ucational access channels.
Council members have said they think
it would be unfair to deny Doux Chene's
request because several apartment com-
plexes and hotels already have private
cable services.
The only reason the city had to grant a
franchise agreement is that because the
complex is so large, cable will have to be
strung across a city street.

CS Council incumbents
should be kept in office
Eagle Editorial Board
The Eagle begins its endorsements
in the May 4 city- school elections
with a look at the College Station
races.
All but one candidate in the con-
tested local races were interviewed by
members of the Eagle Editorial
Board, with endorsements based on
majority vote of the board. These en-
dorsements should be taken as only
one source of information in deciding
how to vote on May 4. Other sources
include campaign literature, candi-
date forums and the Voters Guide
prepared by the League of Women
Voters, which will appear in the April
23 edition of the Eagle.
Absentee balloting in both cities
begins Monday and continues
through May 1. Bryan absentee votes
may be cast at the city's Municipal
Building. In College Station, absen-
tee voting will be at City Hall. Recent
changes in the election code allow
any registered voter to cast an early
ballot.
In questioning the candidates, we
looked at experience, vision, concrete
examples of ways to make the cities
or schools better and other factors
that might be considered when the
voters go to the polls.
We will look at Bryan races on
Monday.
Here are our endorsements in the
College Station City Council election:
■ Place 1 — Incumbent Fred
Brown vs. Archie Julien. Although
we encourage a broad participation
In city government, we feel that,
when the incumbent is doing a good
job, there is no reason to turn him
out without evidence that a new-
comer could do better. Brown has
several years experience on the
council and knows the ins and outs
of city government. He should be re-
turned to the council. He is the first
council member to seek alternative
ways to fund the city's share of the
LoTrak transportation expansion
project. He also calls for merging the
College Station and Bryan fire and
police efforts, a move that can work
to the benefit of the two communi-
ties. While it is good to see A &M stu-
dents interested in the local com-
munity, Julien's approach to the
council — he says he does not intend
to campaign vigorously — seems off
base and not worthy of serious con-
sideration.
■ Place 3 — Incumbent Lynn
McIlhaney vs. Jean B. Williamson.
Again, the incumbent has done a
good job and has a thorough knowl-
edge of the operations of city govern-
ment. She deserves to be re- elected.
We would urge her to follow Brown's
example and look for new and inno-
vative ways to solve the problems fac-
ing the city in coming years.
■ Place 5 — Incumbent Jim
Gardner vs. John Webb. With his ex-
perience both as a city planner and
as a city councilman, Gardner gets
our nod. We may not want a whole
council of Jim Gardners, but it is
good to have somebody who serves as
a guardian against what could be-
come a dangerously unanimous
council. Webb is young, bright and
eager to serve his community. We
wish he had chosen to run against
somebody else because we think he
could be an asset to the council.

CS won't recall
all outstanding
insurance tickets
Thursday, April 18, 1991
The Eagle
By Scot Walker
Eagle staff writer
College Station officials have
decided not to recall all of the
city's outstanding tickets charg-
ing drivers with not having liabili-
ty insurance.
City Attorney Cathy Locke said
her office wlll try to prove as many
of the warrants as it can, and will
only recall those it feels it cannot
prove in court.
The Texas Court of Criminal
Appeals ruled April 10 that not
having liability insurance is not a
crime. The court said that state
law only requires that all moto-
rists maintain financial responsi-
bility, for which liability insur-
ance coverage is only one option.
The Department of Public
Safety has pulled all of its out-
standing warrants that charge
failure to maintain financial re-
sponsibility and failure to appear
on that charge, reasoning that the
warrants are defective under the
precedent set by the court.
DPS spokesman Mike Cox told
the Associated Press that the net
effect of the ruling is that there
will probably not be prosecution
against anyone having such an
outstanding warrant. He said
thousands of cases are affected,
although he had no precise esti-
mate.
Cox also said the DPS is con-
tacting local prosecutors and ask-
ing them to dismiss the charges.
Locke said her office does not
presume all of its warrants are
defective.
She said the warrants for which
her office believes it can prove
failure to maintain financial re-
sponsibility will not be voided.
Bryan police spokesman Sgt.
Choya Walling said the Bryan city
attorney is studying the court de-
cision and will make a decision
soon.

CS council to discuss bargain made
with county on road improvements
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council on
Wednesday will discuss an agreement
with Brazos County to make improve-
ments on rural roads inside the city lim-
its.
Tom Brymer, College Station's assis-
tant city manager for community ser-
vices, said the agreement involves main-
tenance and reconstruction.
College Station will provide the mate-
rials for the projects, while the county will
provide the labor and equipment.
Brymer said the county does not usual-
ly help maintain roads within the city lim-
its, but that this agreement could im-
prove cooperation between the city and
county. What does the county get out of
the deal?
"Nothing really, to be quite honest with
you," said County Commissioner Gary
Norton, whose precinct includes College
Station. "But you have to consider the
spirit of cooperation. That's something
that's been missing between the county
and the city."
Norton said the agreement has taken
two years to put together.
"This is good for everyone," Norton
said. "You have to take into consideration
that folks in the city pay county taxes,
too. It's only fair we help some."
Greens Prairie Road, Graham Road,
Barron Road and Bird Pond Road are
among the roads included in the agree-
ment, which the council will discuss at
its 4 p.m. workshop. They will vote on the
agreement at Thursday's 7 p.m. meeting.
On Wednesday, the council also wilt
discuss proposed changes in the city's
charter, including one that would leng -,
then terms for council members form two
year to three. The changes would have to
be approved by the voters, probably in al
November election.
The council will hold a joint meeting
with the Bryan City Council today at 6
p.m. at the Plaza Club. The councils will
hear a presentation from a professor at
the University of Texas in Austin who is
an expert on city charters.

CS council delays charter vote
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council unan-
imously decided Wednesday to delay put-
ting city charter changes before the
voters until May 1992.
"There's nothing on here that's a big is-
sue," said Councilman Dick Birdwell. "I
don't see that it's worth a special elec-
tion."
Council members had tentatively
agreed at a previous meeting to hold a
charter election in November.
Mayor Larry Ringer asked City Man-
ager Ron Ragland if any of the proposed
changes were critical for the operation of
the city. Ragland said the staff had no
problem operating under the current
charter.
"I guess the only difference is getting on
the ballot," Ringer said, referring to a
proposed change In the charter that
would allow a city council candidate to
get on the ballot without obtaining 25
signatures on a petition.
"Yes, but is that worth $ 15,000 ?"
Birdwell asked.
The city staff has estimated the cost of
the election at $ 16,500. That does not in-
clude the costs of printing and mailing
the proposed changes to every registered
voter in the city. That would cost an esti-
mated $9,500.
The council made its decision after it
had approved 12 changes to put before
the voters.
Most of the changes, except for deleting
the need for the signatures to get on the
ballot, cleaned up language that put the
charter in conflict with state laws.
The council defeated a proposal by
Councilwoman Lynn McIlhaney that
would have made council members'
terms three years. Council members now
serve two -year terms.
McIlhaney said the extra year would al-
low council members to achieve more in
one term.
"A person could accomplish all they
wanted to by running twice, instead of
three times," McIlhaney said. "It will en-
courage more participation."
But Birdwell pointed out that there had
been no contested races in the 1990 city
elections, even when there was an open
seat. He also had other concerns.
"If we get someone disruptive on the
council, it will make them harder to get
off," Birdwell reasoned.
Councilwoman Nancy Crouch, who o-
riginally supported three -year terms,
switched positions.
"Two terms would mean six years, and
that may be too long to serve," said
Crouch, who is completeing her first year
on the council.
Councilman Vernon Schneider voted
with McIlhaney.
The council also defeated a proposal by
Birdwell that would have required a can-
didate to get a majority of the votes — 50
percent plus one — to win a seat on the
council.
The charter currently requires that a
candidate get 34 percent of the vote.
The five other council members, citing
concerns about the cost of run -off elec-
tions, voted against the idea.
The council will meet today at 7 p.m. in
the College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas
Ave. South.
CS council challengers am � assing war chests
Two challengers have accumulated si-
zable financial backing in their efforts to
replace incumbents on the Bryan City
Council.
Friday was the deadline for candidates
to file pre - election campaign finance re-
ports. The first reports were filed April 4.
Rudy Schultz, who is challenging in-
cumbent Ben Hardeman, has raised
$1,855. Because all of Schultz's contri-
buttons were under $50, he does not have
to list the contributors.
Schultz spent $2,420.98 during the re-
porting period, which ran from March 24
through Wednesday. Schultz's report
stated the funds went for printing, lum-
ber and advertising.
Lonnie Stabler, who is trying to unseat
Kandy Rose, reported raising $2,355.
Stabler raised $1,235 between April 20
and Wednesday, all in contributions of
under $50. He also filed an amendment
on April 17 showing he had raised $1,120
on April 15 and 16 — $ i , 000 in a loan
from Stabler Sign Company.
Stabler was required to file the
amendment because he originally stated
he would not spend over $500.
Stabler's report shows be has spent
$864.09 on printing and advertising.
Hardeman has raised $1,700 — $1, 500
on a loan from First City-Texas of Bryan
He also reported $100 contributions from
developer Ramiro Galindo and attorney
Ernest Bruchez.
Hardeman reported spending
$1,597.44 on billboards and print adver-
tising.
ss Hardeman, Schultz and Stabler all o- would not
pe or o over $500 This would
have allowed them not to file another
finance report until July.
Rose raised and spent $2,723.'73 dur-
Ing the reporting period. She loaned her
campaign $1,319.73 and raised $1,104 in
contributions under $50. Rose also f
received contributions of $100 from Vir- r
ginia Brown, Jim James and Evette Cor-
During the last three weeks, a candi-
date seeking to oust a Bryan school board
member has spent almost double what
the incumbent has spent in her bid for
reelection.
Candidates for the May 4 school board
elections in Bryan and College Station
submitted reports Friday of contribu-
tions and expenditures between March
27 and April 24.
In the race for Position 6, banker Allan
Hanson reported no expenditures before
April 4. This week he reported spending
$4,977. Nancy Pride's spending trend is
opposite Hanson's, with a total of $2,760
— $175 during this reporting period.
The race that has generated the most
money, though, is for Bryan's Position 7.
The two candidates have spent more than
$8,800 so far to win the position Travis
Bryan Jr. has held for 20 years. Bryan is
not seeking another term.
Of the $5,478 Sharyn S. Galvin has
spent since the campaign began, $3,688
of it was spent since March 27. Her oppo-
nent, Dr. William R. Birdwell, has spent a
rea.
Rose spent funds on billboards, print-
ing, lumber, television advertising and a
communications consultant.
Her total for the two filings is $3,223.73
raised and $3,223.73 spent.
Bryan Councilman Hank McQuaide
reported that he loaned his campaign
$500 and spent $175 on advertising.
McQuaide has raised a total of $600 and
spent $175.
Councilman Jim Gardner is the top
and raiser in College Station, having
aised $1,795 during the reporting

contributions of $50 or less, for which
names are not required.
All of Galvin's $389 in contributions
were such contributions.
Birdwell spent $1,309 this reporting
period for signs, sign, stakes, newspaper
advertising and a Brazos County re-
gistered voter list.
Galvin's expenses included $3,564 for
signs, billboards, mailings, newspaper
ads, television ads, a door -to -door walk-
ing list from the Republican Party of Bra-
zos County, and a typist.
She also reported expenditures of $50
or less totaling $123.71.
Pride received $1,600 in contributions
during this reporting period, compared to
$5,743 raised by Hanson.
Of Pride's contributions, $1,200 was in
loans to herself and $400 was in contri-
buttons of $50 or less.
Hanson loaned himself $1,000 and
$1,200, received $135 in contributions

Pride's $175 expenditure was for news-
paper advertising.
Sherman Click, who Is running unop-
posed on the College Station Place 1 bal-
lot, signed a waiver stating he will spend
no more than $500 in his campaign.
Place 2 candidate Greg Stiles also filed a
waiver. Both must submit financial re-

Fire destroys College Station fourmplex
By Scot Walker
Eagle staff writer
Fire destroyed a College Station four -
plex Monday morning, but no one was in-
jured.
College Station Fire Department Lt.
Bobby Rogers said the fire consumed
three of the four units at 415 College
Main St. and that the fourth sustained
water damage.
Rogers said Monday afternoon that in-
vestigators had determined the fire start-
ed in one of the downstairs units — pos-
sibly in the kitchen — but were still in-
vestigating the cause.
"The place was really burning by the
time we got there." he said. "I'd say it had
been burning for 20 -30 minutes before
we got the call."
One resident lived in each unit, Rogers
said. One of the residents was home at
the time but he escaped without injury.
Names of the victims were not imme-
diately available. Rogers said all had
made arrangements to stay with friends
or relatives and had declined assistance
from the Red Cross.
Firefighters received the call at 9:11
a.m. and were on the scene within three
minutes. They brought the fire under
control in about 30 minutes and spent
about another hour putting out hot spots
and removing salvagable property from
the one unit that wasn't burned out.
Rogers said three neighbors reported
the fire, as did the resident who was
home.
The fire was contained before it spread,
although a few trees in the back yard
were slightly singed, Rogers said.

The Eagle
Council, board candidates give
final pitches in televised debate
velopment is the main issue facing the
city and that tax abatement is a tool the
city should consider, even though he'd
prefer if the city didn't use it.
Councilman Ben Hardeman, the in-
cumbent for Place 3 on the Bryan coun-
cil, also appeared alone because chal-
lenger Rudy Schultz did not appear. Har-
deman said the city should be willing to
offer a break on utility rates as well as
taxes. The city should be willing to inter-
mediate between a land owner and a new
business, if it is necessary to bring a new
industry into Bryan, Hardeman said.
Archie Ward Julien, the challenger for
Place 1 in College Station, said he felt
cheated because he is paying excessive
utilities to subsidize the low tax rates in
College Station. He said his voice isn't be-
ing heard, because the council continues
to pursue LoTrak when the voters have
overwhelmingly rejected it.
Councilman Fred Brown, the incum-
bent in Place 1, said the utility rates in
College Station have been lowered 17
percent in three years and will be lowered
again when the city begins buying its
power from the Texas Municipal Power
Agency in 1992.
Brown said the council's efforts on Lo-
Trak are focused on making sure that
when the project is built, it won't be a
burden on the city's traffic pattern.
Councilwoman Lynn McIlhaney, the
incumbent in Place 3 on the College Sta-
tion council, said the city would benefit
from new growth, which would help pay
for the expansion of city services. McII-
haney said she favors the use of tax
abatements — in certain cases — to draw
new business.
Challenger Jean Williamson said tax
abatements are a bribe and that the city
can recruit industry with College Sta-
tion's quality of life.
John Webb, the challenger for Place 5
on the College Station council, said his
opponent, incumbent Jim Gardner,
tends to go against the flow, which can be
destructive to the council's cohesion.
Gardner, the only council member to
vote against the city's abatement policy,
said abatement is not necessary for
growth in College Station. The city has
other inducements, such as zoning and
good schools, to offer to industry, he said.
Nancy Pride, the incumbent in Place 6
on the Bryan school board, said changes
in the school district — neighborhood
schools and certified instructors for art
and physical education — were reasons
she should be re- elected.
Challenger Allen Hanson said the
school board needs to get moving on re-
cruiting a new superintendent to replace
Guy Gorden , whose contract expires in
1993. Hanson said the board must
choose a superintendent who will set a
pattern of leadership for the '90s.
Bill Birdwell, who is vying with Sharon
Galvin for Place 7 on the Bryan school
board, said education could be improved
by teaching parenting skills. He said any
new funding the district received should
be spent in that area.
Galvin called for the expansion of a
program at Bowie Elementary, where
four "parent service" days are held during
the school year, thereby involving par-
ents in education.
Clair Nixon and Greg Stiles, the candi-
dates for Place 2 on the College Station
school board, both touted their capabili-
ties in dealing with the expected loss of
state funds.
Nixon, an accounting professor at
Texas A &M University, said the district
should put emphasis on the teachers
running the schools instead of admin-
istrators.
Stiles, an investment broker, said the
district could take advantage of the prox-
imity of Texas A &M's College of Edu-
cation.

It was television worth watching, but it
will be up to the voters Saturday to decide
which candidate is the one worth voting
for.
Candidates for the Bryan and College
Station city council and school board
elections appeared on KAMU -TV Wed-
nesday, giving voters a last look at the is-
sues.
Bryan Mayor Marvin Tate and chal-
lenger Pete Palasota provided the most
excitement.
Palasota said it was obvious Tate was
not prepared to give 100 percent to the
mayor's job, noting Tate had attempted to
get the athletic director's job at the Uni-
versity of North Texas.
Tate said he is "110 percent involved"
in Bryan and that Palasota's charge was
ridiculous considering the amount of
time Tate had contributed to the com-
munity.
The Place 5 race on the Bryan City
Council provided some sparks as incum-
bent Kandy Rose and challenger Lonnie
Stabler disagreed over the city's recycling
efforts.
Stabler said the city could be making
money on recycling.
Rose said that the city was prudent in
setting up a pilot project before jumping
into recycling full force. She said there
are warehouses full of recyclables in
Houston and Dallas because of a lack of
markets.
Stabler, who owns a sign company,
said he has made money recycling plas-
tics in the past few years and that the city
can, too.
Councilman Hank McQuaide, the in-
cumbent in Place 1 on the Bryan council,
was on the panel by himself because chal-
lenger W.E. "Bill" Crutchfield did not ap-
pear. McQuaide said economic de-

LoTrak, the plan to lower the

Brown said that while Julien is

he's getting something."
Julien, a graduate student in
electrical engineering at Texas
A &M University, said the city's
utility rates are a form of regres-
sive taxing because part of the
proilts are transferred to the gen-
eral fund. The transfer is used to
keep College Station's city prop-
erty taxes — 40 cents pe. w 100 —
among the lowest in the state, he
said.
"The palaces in Southwood
Forest get a subsidized ride on
property taxes, and the increased
utility rates are paid by everyone,"
Julien said.
Brown, who owns car dealer-
ships in Bryan, Navasota and Kil-
leen, said the council has lowered
utility rates 17 percent in the last
three years and will lower rates
again when the city begins buying
electricity from the Texas Munici-
pal Power Agency in January.
The council is ignoring the citi-
zens by continuing to pursue Lo-

keep LoTrak from wreaking havoc
on the city's traffic pattern.
"What happens south of George
Bush is going to be there forever,"
he said. "if we can do it without
spending a lot of money, it can be
a benefit for everyone."
The state's money comes out of
gasoline taxes, Brown said, and
would be spent in another area of
the state if not in College Station.
Brown answered Julien's claim
that the council ignores the citi-
zens by say that citizens rarely
appear at council meetings to
offer their opinions. The council is
sensitive to the concerns expres-
sed, he said.
"We do our best to work out a
compromise when someone
comes with a problem," Brown
said.
Julien has a problem with an-
other defeated bond project — the
College Station library.
"it should have been voted
down because they concealed the
location," Julien said.
Julien is concerned that the li-
brary will be built near South-
wood Forest, where he said, "it
will benefit a select few."
The library should be built in
the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor,
Brown said. He would also like to
see a community center built in
the corridor, making the area a
focal point for the community.
Brown said he favors a growth
in population of about 10 percent
a year. Steady growth will allow
the city to expand city services
and replace infrastructure with-
out raising taxes, he said.
Julien also favors growth, and
said he wants the city to provide
venture capital to A&M graduates
to stem the flow of skilled people
out of the city.

has served on the council for four terms.
Webb, a partner in the law firm of West,
Adams, Webb & Albritton, was defeated by
Gardner in a 1987 race for the council.
Gardner said the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor
will be one of his main concerns during his
fifth council term. Improvements to the
project were defeated in a December bond
election.
"We made some mistakes by putting in on
the ballot too soon," Gardner said. "We ha-
ven't even started the project yet."
Economic development was the main is-
sue in the race, with Gardner the only coun-
cil member to vote against the city's econom-
ic development policy in January. The policy
allows the city to give tax abatements as an
incentive for businesses to build or expand
in College Station.
Gardner said the policy !s not necessary to
bring growth, and that a well - planned city
would create jobs and economic expansion.
Webb favored the policy, saying it was a
necessary tool for making College Station
competitive in the recruitment of busi-
nesses.
Brown, in Place 1, will return for a fourth
term on the council after winning handily
with 78 percent of the total, 1,353 to 343.
During the campaign, Brown stressed creat-
ing better working relationships with Texas
A &M University, College Station schools and
the city of Bryan.
"The citizens are pleased with the leader-
ship they are getting," Brown said. "I think
we are moving in the right direction and
have a bright future, especially considering
the announcement that the George Bush li-
brary is coming."
Julien said he ran because the current
council ignored the wishes of the citizens,
especially by pursuing LoTrak after it had
been defeated in a December bond election.
Lynn McIlhaney was returned for her fifth
term on the council by a 1,367 to 343 defeat
of Jean Williamson. She will be able to con-
tinue her attempt to make the College Sta-
tion council a "visionary" body.
Mcllhaney said during the campaign that
the council should focus less on day -to -day
problems and more on long -range planning.
She said she hopes that the city, university
and schools can work together on long -
range projects.
"I'm going to continue to work hard for the
city of College Station," Mcllhaney said after
the victory. "I think we will have some inter-
esting decisions to make with the George
Bush library coming here."
White House officials announced Friday
that President Bush will build his library
just west of A &M's main campus.
Saturday's election drew 1,872 voters, or 6
percent of the eligible voter pool.

The Eagle
B"CS voters
send mixed
m ess ag es
By Phillip U1aK
Eagle staff writer
Bryan voters on Saturd
seemed to think it was time
make some changes in way
city is run.
College Station voters decide
to return all three incumbents
the council.
But why did Bryan voters d
cide two incumbents should mo
on and two should stay?
And why did College Statio
voters vote heavily for two can
dates, favoring incentives for eco
nomic growth, but reject a thin
candidate who promised the sam
thing?
Bryan challengers Rud
Schultz and Lonnie Stabler di
not win in landslides. Schultz got
51 percent of the vote and Stabler
received 52 percent. (They
defeated incumbents Ben Har-
deman and Kandy Rose, respec.
tively. )
Schultz was making his second
attempt at the council. He fin-
ished third in a five -way race for
Place 6 on the council in 1990.
Stabler also was making his
second bid, having lost, by eight
votes, to Councilman Ed Aycox for
Place 1 in 1990.
Bryan's two winning incum
bents scored landslide victories.
Mayor Marvin Tate was returned
for his fourth term with 73 per-
cent of the vote and Councilman
Hank McQuaide won easily with
76 percent.
Most observers were still look -
Ing for answers on Sunday.
"I don't know if people think
Warvin and I are OK, or If the they
hought our opponents weren't
egitimate or there'd be four new
members," McQuaide said.
McQuaide defeated W.E. "Bill" "
Crutchfield, who did not spend
ay any money or attend any candi-
to date forums. Tate defeated Pete
U
Palasota who had lost attempts
for the council in 1981, 1983 and
d 1984 and for the Bryan school
to board in 1985 and 1987.
"I really didn't hear a lot of talk
e- before the election," McQuaide
ve said. "I really thought Kandys
race would be close and that Ben
n would win."
�' Apparently enough people were
upset to build substantial cam -
d Paign treasuries for Stabler and
e Schultz.
Financial reports filed April 26
showed Stabler had raised $2,300
d and Schultz had raised $1,800,
mostly In contributions under
$50.
Rose said she wasn't sure why
she lost, but did notice a pattern
In the election returns.
'I could tell by Schultz's returns
how Sharyn Galvin. Nancy Pride
and I were going to do," Rose said.
Schultz's race with Hardeman
was listed before Rose's and the
two school board races.
"Whatever percentage Schultz
won was a good Indication of how
we would do," Rose said. 'There
seemed to be some sort of coal,.
tion, with Schultz, Stabler, (Bin)
Birdwell and (Allan) Hanson on
one side and Ben and the women
on the other."
Rose said the voters seemed to
want a more conservative city
council.
"Maybe they don't want the
council to spend money to Im-
prove the city," Rose said. "Maybe

they're saying 'don't change
Bryan'. " But still Rose isn't sure
if her "liberal" stances — the
building of Green Valley Drive, the
passing of smoking ordinance,
emphasis on housing — cost her
the election.
"I wish we had a political guru
who could tell us what hap-
pened," Rose said.
McQuaide discounted Rose's
ideas on a conservative backlash.
"I think everyone on the council
is talking more progressively,"
McQuaide said.
Councilman Marc Hamlin also
had no answers.
"I'm at a loss for words," Hamlin
said. "I really think Kandy has
done quite a bit for the commun-
ity. She has spent so many hours
on volunteer activities."
Hamlin said he was amazed
that Crutchfield, who did no cam-
paigning had received 1,000
votes.
"People want fast, overnight an-
swers to the city's problems,'
Hamlin said. "But these problem
weren't created overnight. "
Things are looking up fo
Bryan, Hamlin said. The city i
working with the school distric
and College Station in new ways
he said.
"Nobody told me what they'r
tired of." Hamlin said. "Ma ybe
they just want new faces."
College Station Council mem
bers Lynn McIlhaney and Fred
Brown coasted to easy victories in
the election. McIlhaney won with
79 percent of the vote and Brown
polled 78 percent.
But a slight surprise was the
margin of victory for Councilman
Jim Gardner, who got 60 percent
of the vote.
During the campaign, his op-
ponent, John Webb, had said he
favored tax breaks to be used as a
tool for economic development,
while Gardner said the breaks
were not necessary. Gardner said
the city was growing at a sufil-
cient pace, so the incentives were
not needed.
College Station Mayor Larry
Ringer said he wasn't surprised
by Gardner's victory, but was
surprised by the margin.
"I understand Webb worked
very hard in the campaign,"
Ringer said. "But Jim does have a
lot of hard -core support, especial-
ly with people from the universi-
ty "
Gardner's win showed that the
tax abatement issue was not a
major concern of the voters.
"Voters looked at the broad pro-
grams, instead of specific issues,"
Ringer said. "They based their de-
s cisions on what the council mem-
bers had done in the past."
r The outcome also indicates that
s College Station's citizens are not
t upset with the way the city is be-
ing run, Ringer said.
"In spite of the bond election (in
e which citizens defeated seven of
nine items in December) there
isn't a groundswell to throw peo-
ple out," Ringer said.

CS City Council approves road improvements to be finished in 1993
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council on
Wednesday approved five road projects to
be completed in 1993.
The council approved improvements
for Krenek Tap, Rock Prairie and Sebesta
roads, Marion Pugh Drive and Welsh
Street on a 6 -1 vote.
Councilman Dick Birdwell wanted the
council to also consider extending Welsh
to George Bush Drive. The street ends at
Angus Street, one block south of Bush.
Councilman Fred Brown, knowing the
'political ramifications of making a resi-
dential street an artery for north -south
traffic, noted that Birdwell didn't have to
worry about re- election when he made
the proposal.
"I was against it then and I'm against it
now," Brown said.
Birdwell said he brought it up because
the city needed to look at solving a major
traffic problem — north - south access.
"I understand how controversial it is in
terms of that neighborhood," Birdwell .
said. "We're not here to consider one
neighborhood, but the whole city.
"I know how people feel, but at some
point in time we ought to bite the bullet
and do it," Birdwell said. "But not at this
cost."
City staffers estimate that the exten-
sion would cost $970,000, including
$310,000 for right -of -way acquisition.
Birdwell said he doubted that the land
needed would cost that much.
Staffers estimate that extending the
street and widening it to 38 feet would
disturb 76 lots and require the removal of
six houses.
Other council members worried about
the political costs.
,. If it costs $900,000, that's about $1 for
each phone call we'll get," quipped Mayor
harry Ringer.
The Krenek Tap project will cost an es-
timated $1 million and improve the en-
trance to the city's Central Park.
The Rock Prairie project will cost an es-
timated $900,000 and extend the road to
Wellborn Road.
The Marion Pugh project will cost an
estimated $500,000 and will extend the
street from George Bush to Holleman
Drive.
Welsh will get funds, but only for an ex-
tension to Rock Prairie Road.
The Sebesta Road project will cost an
estimated $900,000 and will improve the
road, which may lead to a planned Col-
lege Station elementary school.
The schools have not made the Sebesta
Road site official, but the city will pur-
chase right -of -way and then determine
what type of road to build, based on the
school district's plans.
The roads are being improved with
bond money approved by College Station
voters in December.
B -CS needs a YMCA
Now that the election is over and some
of our leaders indicated how well Bryan
and College Station are working together,
what better time than now for our twin
cities to look into a joint effort in building
a YMCA Family Center, which is badly
needed for our community. Many cities
smaller than either Bryan or College Sta-
tion have such a facility. I visited such a
facility in Conroe, which has a population
of slightly more than 20,000. What an
improvement it has made to that com-
munity. What a busy place: four baseball
diamonds full all day with children play-
ing ball, indoor swimming pool full to ca-
pacity, a complete exercise room fully oc-
cupied — about the only place that
wasn't busy was the restroom.
This community needs such a facility
for our families. There's no better way to
build stronger family unity than to pro-
vide a family center for families to play
together, swim together, exercise
together and enjoy fellowship together.
With all the crime and drugs we are faced
with today, this type of facility, managed
properly, could certainly help in keeping
kids off the street and giving them the
opportunity to develop their bodies and
minds.
I would like for the churches, various
organizations and families to make their
desires known regarding a YMCA Family
Center. If you think that a YMCA would
be an asset to our community, let it be
known to our elected officials.
I am sure the funds can easily be pro-
vided if we all work together, through
concerned donors, fund- raising cam-
paigns and support from our city
governments. There are also many of our
prominent citizens who, I am sure, would
be more than willing to support such a
project.
With the announcement of President
Bush's library being located in our com-
munity, giving such a boost to our com-
munity, and while our spirits are high,
let's not waste any time in giving our
community something that will truly be
an asset in support of our families.

College Station's new finance
director is an old hand at city hall.
Glenn Schroeder, the new di-
rector for Fiscal and Human Re-

13 years with the city.
Schroeder said he hasn't been a
city employee for 13 years by ac-
cident.
, .College Station is still the size
where what you do can have a
significant impact," he said. "It
provides a lot of opportunities for
personal growth.
"I'm not saying I'll be here for
the rest of my life, but that
wouldn't be bad," Schroeder said.
Schroeder will oversee the city's
purchasing, accounting, budget
and personnel departments. Be-
fore being named to his new job,
he served as deputy finance direc-
tor to William Harrison, who left
in April for a job in Florida. to
Schroeder said he plans
stress customer service.
"I want to make finance under-
standable for residents," he said.
"I'm trying to be 'user - friendly'."
Schroeder started his career
with the city in 1978 as the tax
assessor -city secretary. Since
then he has been the city's chief

OPINIONS
With Bush Library coming,
it's time to rethink LoTrak
Eagle Editorial Board
Bryan and, particularly, College
Station cannot help but benefit by
the construction of the Bush Presi-
dential Library on Texas A &M Uni-
versity's West Campus.
Even if the low estimate of 300,000
visitors is realized, the economic shot
in the arm to the two communities
will be tremendous. Many of those
visitors will spend one or more nights
here and certainly almost all of them
will buy food, gasoline or souvenirs
locally. The library can be the impe-
tus for major development in the
area.
But such development will not
come without cost. It will be incum-
bent on the cities to be ready for
those visitors when the library's
doors do open.
The citizens of College Station
should reconsider their negative vote
on the LoTrak project. It is important
to understand that LoTrak will do far
more than lower the railroad tracks
through the A &M campus. If it goes
as originally developed, it will provide
full grade separations along Wellborn
Road at George Bush and Holleman
drives, each of which would cost the
citizens more than the $3 million the
city is asked to kick into the project.
The interchange at Bush Drive par-
ticularly is critical for visitors travel-
ing to and from the Bush Library and
the planned special events center to
be built on the West Campus.
But LoTrak will do even more than
erect interchanges. It will create a
multi -lane north -south corridor bad-
ly needed in College Station. Anyone
who drives along Texas Avenue at
almost any hour of the day knows
that another major thoroughfare is
needed and, realistically, the East
Bypass and FM 2818 are not the an-
swer for the majority of residents.
There is a danger that federal and
state money for the project will be put
elsewhere if LoTrak doesn't go
through soon.
It would be a shame not to take ad-
vantage of the golden opportunities
afforded College Station.
It is time to reconsider LoTrak.

Move LoTrak out of town
Yes, it's time to rethink LoTrak. Ciu-
zens of College Station should stand by
their negative vote on the LoTrak project.
Citizens should push for moving the rail
trafllc out of town completely. Why is it
that so many people feel that LoTrak is
the only answer?
Proponents of LoTrak should consider
*he real liability of having an active rail
system moving through a highly cong-
ested area, and then consider compound-
ing the problem by putting freight trains
into a ditch. Have you considered what is
being carried by many of these trains?
One derailment (such as the one we had
recently in Bryan) in a ditch and involving
hazardous chemicals, and our problems
have just been compounded.
Have you asked the people that will
have to handle a major spill about the
kind of problems that can be created by
your LoTrak idea? I, for one, would hate
to be one of the motorists caught in the
ditch with any kind of derailment. The
thought of an accident involving chemi-
cals makes me less sure of the conting-
ency planning involved with this project.
The cost of moving our rail system out-
side of town may be higher, but the cost
of one accident involving human life and
chemical spill cleanup in a populated
area would be much more than the differ-
ence in construction costs.
Why not solve two problems at once by
moving the track out of town? We can
improve our traffic flow problems and at
the same time lower our liability to the
community for potential chemical spill
and exposure.

Wiatt, a former FBI agent, re-
counted the deaths of three
Texas law officers killed in re-

reaction to their deaths with
public reaction to recent in-
stances of police brutality.
"Aside from these initial news
accounts of these officers' de-

mention made of them ?" Wiatt
asked in a voice that rose in
emotion as his speech progres-
sed. "Except for their friends,
families and comrades, they've

bites of their demise with the

grew angrier.

Wiatt said after the ceremony
that this double standard can

"It offends me," he said. Such
stereotypes also undermine police
morale, he said.

officers to the troops in Operation
Desert Storm. Phelps said that,
like the troops returning from the

Panel to hear plan
to spend $100,000
on street repairs
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council will
hear a presentation Wednesday on a pro-
posal to spend $100,000 for street re-
pairs.
Councilman Dick Birdwell, at the
council's May 16 meeting, asked city staf-
fers to put the item on the agenda. Bird-
well said this year's unusually heavy
rainfall has produced more potholes than
normal. He wants the city to hire outside
contractors to get the city back on its
maintenance schedule.
"The city crews seem to be doing a good
fob, but it looks like they are little be-
hind," Birdwell said on Monday.
The council will also hear a presen-
tation Wednesday from George Dresser of
the Texas Transportation Institute re-
garding the Municipal Planning Organi-
zation long -range transportation plan.
The organization is in charge of provid-
ing a coordinated transportation plan for
the county. The cities of Bryan and Col-
lege Station, Brazos County, Texas A &M
University and the local office of the State
Department of Highways and Public
Transportation make up the organiza-
tion.
Dresser said he will give presentations
on four areas: the Wellborn Road corri-
dor, East Tarrow Drive, the extension of
Wellborn Road to Greens Prairie Road
and capacity problems with the roads in
the area of the Texas A &M Research
Park.
The council meets Wednesday at 4 p.m.
in the College Station City Hall, 1101
Texas Ave. S. The council also meets
Thursday at 7 p.m.

Er
CS council OKs $125,000
to improve infrastructure
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council on
Thursday approved spending part of the
city's Community Development Grant
Funds for improvements to the city's in-
frastructure.
Jo Carroll, administrator of the city's
community development program, had
asked the council for direction in spend-
ing $125,000 in development funds that
had not been earmarked for the 1991 -92
budget.
Carroll offered the council several
alternatives, including developing the
area near the Lincoln Center. The council
has approved a concept that includes a
series of parks from Wellborn Road to the
corner of Luther and Montclair streets.
The plan would require the extension of
Eleanor Street.
The council will spend the money on in-
frastructure improvements — such as
adding curbs and gutters — with the
clause that money may be moved later to
other areas.
City staffers will develop a list of
projects for which the money will be used,
but Councilwoman Nancy Crouch re-
minded the staff that the council was in-
terested in the Lincoln Center area.
The council also heard a request from
the Brazos Maternal and Child Health
Clinic for $62,000 in funding. The clinic
has been funded for three years, and
under guidelines developed by the city
would not be eligible for more funding.
The council voted to direct the commit-
tee making funding recommendations for
service groups to overlook the rule if the
need was great enough.
Councilwoman Lynn McIlhaney sug-
gested that Brazos County could do more
to help the clinic.
Councilman Fred Brown, the city's rep-
resentative on the county's health board,
said he would urge the board to allow the
clinic to move into the Brazos County
Health Department Building near down-
town.
Kathy Altman, director of the clinic,
said she thought locating the clinic in the
department would make it more conven-
ient to the lower- income patients she
serves.

College Station council OKs
traffic improvement scheme
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council on Wednesday
accepted a proposed long -range transportation plan
that will help direct Brazos County traffic into the
next century.
The plan — developed by the Municipal Planning
Organization — is intended to make informed pre-
dictions about future transportation needs for Bra-
zos County. Representatives from the cities of Bryan
and College Station, Texas A &M University, Brazos
County, the Texas Transportation Institute and the
State Department of Highways and Public Transpor-
tation developed the plan.
"The plan is a wish list based on traffic projec-
tions," said D.D. Williamson, an engineer with the
highway department. "It will be modified as de-
velopment occurs."
Mayor Larry Ringer, the city's voting rep-
resentative in the planning organization, said after
the meeting that since the council did not offer any
changes in the plan, he would vote to approve it.
George Dresser of TTI said computer - generated
models showed that the Wellborn Road corridor
cannot handle many — if any — more cars than it
carries now.
When completed, the George Bush Library will ge-
nerate an estimated 1,800 trips a day, Dresser said.
The library will be located at the northeast corner of
the intersection of FM 2818 and George Bush Drive,
creating traffic on both those roads and Wellborn
Road as well.
College Station voters rejected funds for LoTrak, a
plan to improve traffic flow on Bush and Wellborn, in
December.
The transportation plan is separated into roads to
be improved or built as part of short -range traffic
needs by the year 1995, and those needed to meet
long -range needs by the year 2010.
Most of the road improvements planned for 1995
in College Station are either completed or under
construction.
One project in the plan is the improvement of Tar -
row Drive, which runs by the new Randall's super-
market, the College Station Hilton and Conference
Center and the state headquarters of the Texas A &M
University System.
Computer models estimate that Randall's and the
headquarters will create 12,000 more trips a day on
Tarrow.
College Station's portion of the project will be done
in conjunction with the City of Bryan improvements
to East 29th Street, which becomes Tarrow once the
street crosses into College Station.
The road will be a four -lane traffic artery.
Even with improvements, traffic models indicate
seven intersections in College Station will be over
capacity by 2010: Texas Avenue at University, Main
and George Bush drives; Wellborn Road at George
Bush Drive and Joe Routt Boulevard; and University
Drive at College Drive and Agronomy Road.
The final document will be approved by all the
member agencies, but no date has been set for the
final meeting.

on the bullet train route
C
Eagle Editorial Board
With the granting of franchise to a
Fiench company, Texas moved a step
closer last week to having the na-
tion's first high -speed "bullet" train
operating between Houston and Dal-
will make it possible for the cities to
attract more convention business.
The bullet train would be a fine way
to transport people between the
state's major cities and Bryan -
College Station.
One concern is the location of
las by 1998. A second leg, between
San Antonio and Dallas, is scheduled
to begin operating the following year,
with a Houston - Austin -San Antonio
route possible in the future if rider-
ship demands.
Still to be determined is whether
Bryan- College Station will be in-
cluded as a stop on the Houston -
Dallas route and Waco on the San
Antonio- Dallas leg. We can't speak
for Waco, but Bryan- College Station
ought to be a stopping point for the
bullet train.
Many forecasters continue to say
that our local communities will be
the fastest - growing or certainly
among the fastest in the nation in
coming years. The reopening of Texas
World Speedway and the announce-
ment of the George Bush Presidential
Library indicate that not only will the
communities grow, but they more
and more will become destinations
for people from throughout the state,
the nation and, indeed, the world.

stops in Houston. While Dallas in-
cludes stops in downtown and at
DFW Airport, Houston doesn't plan
any stops at Intercontinental Airport.
That seems shortsighted, particular-
ly when you consider the number of
local residents who fly in and out of
the Houston airport every day. A stop
there would be the ultimate in con-
venience.
There is still time to include that
stop, but it is more important to us
that plans be made to include Bryan-
College Station along the route. In
receiving the right to build the high-
speed train, Texas TGV was asked to
include B -CS and Waco when it
proves economically feasible. It's up
to us to show that the route through
here is not only economically feasible
but downright essential.
The time to make the decision to
include Bryan - College Station is
now. We join with the Chamber of
Commerce and other groups seeking
to put the communities on the high-
speed rail map.

CS City Council to consider annex to municipal court
The council also will discuss whether
the city should regulate newspaper vend-
ing machines. The city has limited ability
to regulate the location of the machines,
but it can require that the machines
clearly display the name and phone
number of the person responsible for
maintenance.
A proposed amendment requiring the
name and number was prompted by a let-
ter from a College Station resident who
complained about the lack of accountabi-
lity for newspaper vending machines.
The council will discuss a policy dealing
with the relationship between staff,
council members and the media. The
Council Relations Committee formed the
policy to define city government roles and
establish guidelines on how city govern-
ment will function, said Councilwoman
Lynn McIlhaney.
"This policy is the things the council
has been doing, but it has not been in
written form," McIlhaney said.
The policy defines the mayor's respon-
sibilities, establishes a code of conduct
for the mayor and council members, and
gives guidelines to improve communica-
tion with the public through the media.
The council will evaluate the future of
the College Station Economic De-
velopment Foundation and decide how to
deal with its disposition.
"Basically we're tying up loose ends,"
McIlhaney said. "We're getting everything
in order for the city of College Station."
The council will consider an assump-
tion agreement for the city to take owner-
ship of the foundation's assets, discuss a
resolution recommending the dissolution
of the CSEDF board and examine settle-
ment of outstanding litigation.
By Leigh Strope
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council will
discuss a proposed addition to the city's
municipal court during a workshop ses-
sion at 4 p.m. Wednesday at College Sta-
tion City Hall.
The addition would create more work
area at the front counter and move the
court administrator closer to the staff,
said Glenn Schroeder, executive director
of fiscal and human resources.
The project's cost is estimated at
$60,000 - $90,000. Funding would come
from the interest on general obligation
bonds passed to renovate the court and
build a police station.
Schroeder said that if the council ap-
proves the project, construction can be-
gin by Sept. 1.

Uollege Station City Council considers building
expansion to alleviate crowded municipal courts
By Leigh Strope
Eagle staff writer
but that the cost would be more than
$70,000 to tear up fixtures for relocation.
"It would not give a great deal of addi-
tional area to work with," Schroeder said.
He estimated the cost of the addition to
be $60,000- 70,000, funded by interest on
bonds used to build the complex. The ad-
dition would not conflict with the land-
scape or parking areas, Schroeder said.
- - Councilwoman Nancy Crouch ques-
tioned whether the proposed addition
would be large enough to alleviate the
overcrowding.
"I think it might be pushing it when
there are that many files to store,"
Crouch said.
City Manager Ron Ragland said that
many of the files are being microfilmed,
which will assist the storage process.
The council also discussed an ordin-
ance that would require the name and
telephone number of people responsible
for vending machines to be clearly dis-
played on the machines.
A letter from a College Station resident
complaining about the lack of accounta-
bility for newspaper vending machines
prompted the proposal.
The council agreed to incorporate all
vending machines under the proposed
ordinance. The council will vote on the
ordinance during its - regular meeting at
7:00 p.m. today at College Station City
Hall.
In other business, the council studied a
proposed council relations policy that
would outline the duties and responsibil-
ities of the mayor and council.
Councilwoman Lynn McIlhaney said
the policy would be helpful in orienting
new members to the council. McIlhaney
and the Council Relations Committee
wrote the policy.
The College Station City Council is
considering a municipal court addition to
alleviate overcrowding and organization
problems.
Glenn Schroeder, the city's executive
director of fiscal and human resources,
presented a study on expansion during
the council's Wednesday workshop.
The 500 - square -foot addition would go
on the northeast end of the police and
municipal court complex.
The current facility does not allow
enough working area for staff, and docu-
ments must be filed in two rooms to com-
pensate for overcrowding, Schroeder
said.
Schroeder said the study examined
other alternatives, including restructur-
ing the court at one end of the building,

A " Fish EDC members questioned whether the
By Teri Walley
Eagle bu siness edi
The Bryan- College Station Chamber of
,ommerce appeared Wednesday, hat in
hand, before the Economic Development
Corp. board to ask for more financial
support.
The chamber gets about 811,000 from
the EDC, which is supported chiefly by
the cities of Bryan and College Station.
Chamber executive vice president Allon
Fish told the EDC board that the cham-
ber needs an extra senior staff member
and secretary, and that the Small Busi-
ness Development Center needs another
counselor. He said that so far this fiscal
year, the SBDC's two counselors have
seen a total of 787 clients.
In addition, the two -man office has 188
active, ongoing clients in new and
expanding businesses, 19 export clients,
47 procurement clients and 13 financial
assistance clients. The SBDC has run 23
training programs this _fiscal year and
trained 739 people. The counselors spend
170 hours per month counseling people.
The chamber staff also has had a busy
year. Fish said the chamber is working
with 12 companies considering expan-
sion, which would mean an additional
285 jobs in the area, and three com-
panies that are considering closing.
The chamber has been involved with
reviving Texas World Speedway and
bringing high -speed rail to the area, as
well as working in favor of LoTrak and de-
veloping new and existing businesses.
"Our resources are straine
said.
Fish said the SBDC needs about
835,000 — $17,500 from the EDC -- for a
full-time counselor. The chamber is seek-
ing about 860,000 in salaries, $18,000 in
benefits and 819,500 in expenses to pay
for a full-time senior staff member and a
full-time secretary.
The chamber also is planning a two -
part program to inventory available build-
ings and building sites and survey exist-
ing businesses.
The information, particularly from the
building inventory, will be sent to such
entities as the Texas Department of
Commerce and Lone Star Gas, which can
pass the information to businesses inter-
ested in moving to Texas.
public sector was an appropriate avenue
for financing.
"if we don't ask, well never know," Fish
said. He pointed out that the bulk of
chamber financing comes from the pri-
vate sector in the form of chamber mem-
ber dues. __
In other business, the EDC passed a
resolution in favor of keeping Bryan and
College Station in the same Congression-
al district.
The EDC board also voted to spend
84,400 to become a member of the Tech-
nology Business Development program,
which matches cities with companies
planning to relocate.

CS council votes 6 -1 to disband EDC
By Leigh Strope
Eagle st aff wrtter
The College Station City Council voted
6 -1 Thursday to dissolve the city's Eco-
nomic Development Foundation after it
was assured the city would not take on
the foundation's liabilities.
Councilman Dick Birdwell, who voted
against the proposal, said more study
should go into the foundation before it is
dissolved.
The College Station Economic Founda-
tion was established in December 1985 to
promote city interests. After a resolution
passed in May 1989 created a joint eco-
nomic foundation for College Station and
Bryan, the council decided it no longer
needed a city foundation.
Assistant City Attorney Ilse Bailey-
Graham told the council she did not
foresee any liabilities from the foundation
because contracts between the founda-
tion and developer Bill Fitch could be de-
clared invalid.

After Prom Bash a success
This year's College Station After Prom
Bash was a success, based on comments
from the students attending and con-
sidering that there were no reported traf-
fic crashes that evening. It was a huge
effort to plan, coordinate and execute.
This event would not have been possible
without the dedicated work of Officers
Bubba Sayers and Craig Anderson.
These two College Station police, offi-
cers really went out of their way to make
sure that our Consolidated students had
a wonderful, safe, fun, drug -free evening
to remember. They did a tremendous job
in acquiring gifts and funds from area
businesses, in coordinating parent vol-
unteers and in the set -up of the equip-
ment and supplies for the event. I en-
courage Chief Michael Strope to ac-
knowledge their work and dedication in
whatever way he can.
I want the city of College Station to be
made aware of their fine police depart-
ment and its commitment to our youth.
Thank you, Chief Strope, for support-
ing this yearly activity and for all you and
the entire department ' do to make our
community better and safer for us all.

C
County takes hard line with insurer
Brazos County Commissioners voted
Monday to tell the county's insurance
carrier to pay i u0 percent of costs for
outpatient surgery. despite the com-
pany's claim that it should should have
to pay only 70 -90 percent.
Northwestern National Life Insurance
Co. had asked the commissioners to cor-
rect what the company said was an error
in a booklet explaining the county's
group insurance plan.
During Monday's regular meeting,
Commissioner Gary Norton said North-
western National had agreed to pay 100
percent during negotiations before the
county bought the coverage, and that
there was no mistake in the booklet.
The commissioners approved a motion
instructing the company to pay 100 per-
cent of the claims and to reimburse seven
employees whose outpatient surgeries
were paid less than 100 percent.
In other business, commissioners ap-
proved submitting a community de-
velopment grant application to extend
the Wellborn Water Supply system to re-
sidents of the Cawthon community.

council
Station
getting
jump on budget
The College Station City Council will
get an early jump on the 1991 -92 budget
this week with pre- budget workshops
Wednesday and Thursday.
Glenn Schroeder, the city's finance di-
rector, said the sessions will give city staf-
fers a chance to present some ideas that
could affect the 1991 -92 budget. The
budget will be completed in August, and
the new fiscal year starts Sept. 1.
Schroeder will tell the council about
fiscal impact analysis, which he said can
help city staffers project the economic
consequences of the council's decisions
up to 15 -20 years ahead.
That analysis may support a decision
to assess impact fees, Schroeder said.
The city would assess a developer if the
city staffers determined that the de-
velopment in question would mean the
city would be paying more for services
than it gained in increased revenue. The
analysis requires special computer soft-
ware, Schroeder said.
The council will also discuss utility
rates, Schroeder said.
Next year, the city will begin getting
electricity from the Texas Municipal
Power Agency, a cooperative that in-
cludes Bryan and three other cities.
TMPA rates will be lower than the city
pays to Gulf States Utilities Co., he said,
so the switch could boost city revenues,
produce a cut in consumer rates, or a
little of both.
"We won't propose that the council
make any changes to the electrical rates
until we join TMPA in January,"
Schroeder said. "We will be showing them
what sort of savings we are expecting
when the switch is made."
Staffers aren't planning changes in the
city's water and sewer rates, he said.
The council will also hear about de-
mand- driven fees, Schroeder said. Such
fees eliminate taxpayer subsidies for spe-
cialized services. For example, instead of
charging $5 for a service that costs $20 to
deliver, the city would have the user pay
the full amount.
Schroeder said the staff will explain the
idea but will not recommend that the
council shift to demand- driven fees.
The council will meet both days from
1 -5 p.m. in the College Station Confer-
ence Center, 1300 George Bush Drive.

MINIMIZING DISPLACEMENT OF LOW AND MODERATE INCOME PERSONS
The City of College Station does not anticipate any displacement of individuals resulting from Community Development
funded programs and projects scheduled, and will take an active role in preventing such displacement, by:

an individual project.
2. Seeking alternatives which could achieve the public purpose without displacement.
3. Advising non - resident owners of their responsibilities, and potential costs involved with projects resulting in displacement.
In the event that displacement does occur, relocation benefits will be provided to displaced individuals in circumstances
covered by the Uniform Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Act of 1971, and those not covered by the Uniform Act. The
latter includes acquisition by an entity that is not a "State Agency" and the permanent displacement of individuals caused by
substantial rehabilitation. The City's policy in projects involving displacement will be to insure that financial assistance is
provided to displaced individuals for moving costs, as well as assistance, it appropriate, in obtaining affordable replacement
housing.

CS, agency for

recycling plan
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
College Station city staffers are working
on an agreement with Junction 505 that
will put the agency's disabled clients and
the city to work building "a model recy-
cling facility."
Mark Smith, assistant director of pub-
lic works, told the College Station City
Council on Wednesday that he hopes to
have an agreement ready for the Council
to approve July 10.
Smith said the project involving Junc-
tion 505 would include landscaping,
screening, parking and containers speci-
fied in new regulations his department is
drafting.
Smith said the new recycling facility
would be in the city -owned vacant lot on
Wellborn Road, adjacent to the Cafe Ec-
cell parking lot, where Junction 505
already operates a recycling center. The
recycling center in the parking lot would
close.
Junction 505 is a nonprofit agency that
trains disabled persons and helps them
find jobs.
Smith gave the Council drafts of regu-
lations that, if implemented, would
govern all recycling drop -off centers in
College Station.
The additions to city zoning and sanita-
tion ordinances would regulate the loca-
tion of recycling centers, set fines for im-
proper operation of the facilities, and re-
quire monthly reports on the amount of
recyclable material the facility diverts
from the landfill.
Smith said many of the community's
recyclables are going to drop -off facilities.
Keeping track of the amount is impor-
tant, he said, because the Environmental
Protection Agency is considering requir-
ing cities to divert 25 percent of wastes
from city landfills.
Mayor Larry Ringer directed staffers to
continue working on the regulations.
The Council will meet today at 7 to I
consider the city's community de-
velopment budget. The meeting will be in
the College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas

tinti -weed rule
E will cut short
man's garden
By Phillip Sulak
Eagl staff writer
A College Station man has until
Monday to mow his front yard, or the
city of College Station will do it for him.
James Kneip. 206 Walton Drive, says
the city is unfairly forcing him to cut
the wildflowers he has cultivated in his
front yard.
A plan to cut them in a few weeks,"
Kneip said Thursday. "I want to allow
the flowers to go full cycle so that the
birds will have something to eat and so
they will grow next year."
The city's weed ordinance says that
wildflowers must be mowed after June
15. The ordinance calls for cutting ob-
jectionable and unsightly vegetation,
defined as any grasses or weeds more
than 12 inches in height.
Kneip's front yard is filled with wild-
flowers. dominated by a large group of
sunflowers, each plant over eight feet
tall. Kneip said he likes a natural look
• for his yard, and that the vegetation
screens the roadway from his house.
Kneip said he planted the wildflowers
in the yard six years ago.
"Why should my plants be treated
differently than other plants that peo-
ple cultivate in their yards ?" Kneip
asked.
Kneip appeared at Thursday's College
Station City Council meeting and pre-
sented a petition with signatures of Eagle Photo by Peter Roche

people supporting his view.
"These people don't find my
yard unsightly or objectionable,"
he told the Council.
Two passers -by slowed down
long enough to shout encourage-
ment to Kneip as stood in his
front yard on Thursday. One
woman stopped and asked if the
city was going to force him to mow
his yard. When he said the city
was doing just that, she screamed
"NO!" before driving off.
Another woman slowed down
long enough to tell Kneip she
would write a letter to the city to
support his position.
Ilse Bailey - Graham, the assis-
tant city attorney handling
Kneip's case, said the Council had
addressed all of Kneip's concerns
when the ordinance was passed.
"They considered the argu-
ments at the time and thought
they had struck an appropriate
balance between the people who
wanted to grow wildflowers and
the desires of the rest of the com-
munity," Bailey- Graham said.
"His opinion of what community
appearance should be doesn't
mesh with what the Council
thinks the community wants."
Kneip also complained that it
was easier to get a variance for the
two goats he used to have than to
get one for his flowers.
Mayor Larry Ringer said the
Council could not address Kneip's
complaint because a measure de-
laying action until after Monday
• had not been placed on the
agenda.
Bailey- Graham said Kneip did
not file an appeal on time, did not
file for a variance on time and did
not come to the Council to ask
that an item be put on the agenda
until it was too late.
"He knows the system." she
said. "He went through this last
year:"
Kneip was fined $60 last year
for not mowing his lawn.
Bailey- Graham said the city
would mow Kneip's lawn on Mon-
day if he did not do it himself. A
lien would be placed on his prop-
erty if he did not repay the city for
the mowing, she said.
Kneip said he may mow some of
his yard on Monday in an attempt
to keep the city from coming in
and "clear- cutting' the yard.

CS plans to pop fines on those ignoring fireworks ban
By Leigh Strope
Eagle staff wr iter
With the Fourth of July a week away,
fire officials want to remind the public
that anyone possessing or discharging
fireworks within the city limits of Bryan
and College Station could get popped
with a fine of $10 -$1, 000.
Beginning July 1, all four of College
Station's fire- prevention officers will pa-
trol to enforce the fireworks ordinance,
Fire Marshal Bland Ellen said.
"We'll do routine patrols, confiscate
and issue citations, and sit at fireworks
stands if we need to," Ellen said.
The department has enforced the or-
dinance vigorously since 1985, he said,
and injuries, fires and violations have de-
clined. No injuries or fires were reported
last Fourth of July, Ellen said.
"The community deserves some cre-
dit," Ellen said. "They have become more
educated regarding the use and dangers
of fireworks."
He said if children are caught with fire-
works, parents can be held legally re-
sponsible and can be issued citations.
Mike Donoho, assistant fire chief in
Bryan, said fireworks- related problems
are on the decline in Bryan as well.
Donoho said Bryan officers will not ac-
tively seek out violators, but they will re-
spond to calls and patrol areas where
there have been problems in the past.
More than 12,400 fireworks - related in-
j uries w ere repo icu naUCM_' dd! {^ ! 999
according to the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission.
Ellen said between 400 -800 pounds of
fireworks were confiscated annually in
College Station before 1985. Because of
strict enforcement, the number has been
reduced to about 25 pounds, he said.
Fire officials said they urge people to at-
tend public fireworks displays rather
than discharging their own.
In College Station, a fireworks display
will start at 10:10 p.m, on Wednesday at
Post Oak Mall.
On Thursday, an "Old Fashioned
Fourth of July" fireworks display will be
at Olsen Field at 9:30 p.m. Games and
entertainment will begin at 5:30 p.m.
For those who live in areas where fire-
works are legal, and want to set off their
own, Donoho and Ellen offered the follow-
ing safety tips:
■ Use extreme caution in choosing a
location. Locations with high grass,
winds and nearby homes or buildings
should be avoided.
■Always supervise children. Only
adults should handle fireworks, and
anyone in the area should remain a safe
distance away.
■Read and follow instructions on the
fireworks. Never hold any fireworks that
are burning. Know what each firework
will do when ignited.
■Do not put firecrackers and fireworks
that will explode in containers that will
also explode.
■Carry some type of extinguisher,
such as a water hose, in case of a small
fire.
"The bottom line is they are danger-
ous," Donoho said. "We encourage people
not to use them at all."

Council rejects
sewer extension
By Phillip Sulak
Eag staff writer
The College Station City Council re-
jected a $140,000 sewer extension
Thursday after city staffers told the
Council the extension would serve only
four customers.
All four of the customers — Curry
Plumbing and Winslow Paint and Body
on Graham Road and the Courtney
Building and the old Wickes Lumber
building on FM 2818 — are in the city li-
mits, but are on septic systems.
Councilman Dick Birdwell moved to re-
ject a contract with Pate & Pate of Hunts-
ville to build the sewer extension, saying
the citizens of College Station shouldn't
pay to connect four businesses to the
city's sewer system.
Councilman Vernon Schneider asked if
the city was legally obligated to extend
sewer service.
City Attorney Cathy Locke said the only
legal recourse the businesses would have
would be to de -annex the properties from
the city. She thought that would be un-
likely because the businesses would lose
other city services such as electricity.
The measure passed unanimously, but
Mayor Larry Ringer directed city staffers
to contact the businesses and attempt to
Work out an arrangement for the city and
the businesses would share costs.
The Council also approved the com-
-rbunity development budget for the next
year. The city will spend $100,000 for five
public- service agencies and $670,000 for
the rest of the city's community de-
velopment budget, including administra-
tion, road maintenance, housing renova-
tion and other projects. The Council fol-
lowed the recommendations of the
Bryan - College Station Joint Relief Fund-
ing Committee in allocating the $100,000
for public service.

CS Council
orders land
condemned
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council on
Thursday directed city staffers to begin
condemnation proceedings against W.D.
Fitch so the city can extend Welsh
Avenue.
The Council wanted to act quickly to
get the street open in time for the start of
the school year. The extension of Welsh
will improve access to College Station
Junior High and Rock Prairie Elemen-
tary, both located on Rock Prairie Road.
The city and Fitch have been feuding
over the Welsh extension most of the
year. The city wanted Fitch to pay for the
extension, in accordance with a policy
that has developers pay for streets
through areas that are being developed.
Fitch, who developed most of south
College Station over the past two dec-
ades, refused to pay for the street, telling
the Council that he could not recoup his
costs.
Meanwhile, Myrad Inc., which owns
the development next to Fitch's land on
Welsh, was ready to build the portion of
Welsh that would run through its prop-
erty. To avoid drainage problems, Myrad
engineers wanted to build the street at
the same time as Fitch.
In May, city staffers and Fitch finally
worked out an agreement for the city and
the developer to split the costs of the
street.
But Fitch hasn't signed the agreement.
City Engineer David Pullen told council
members that he has been unable to
reach Fitch. City Attorney Cathy Locke
said she heard Fitch was in Wise County.
Fitch could not be reached Thursday
night for comment.
The Council directed city staffers to be-
gin condemnation proceedings in an at-
tempt to take the right of way on Fitch's
property and let Myrad build the entire
Welsh extension. The city would then pay
Myrad for building the section of road ad-
jacent to Fitch's land.

Promote wildflowers
This letter is written to protest three se-
rious problems in College Station's "wild-
flower" Ordinance 1811.
First, while the wording of the ordi-
nance is clearly aimed at "lack of vegeta-
tion management," it is also being used
to force homeowners to mow established
wildflower plantings.
Second, while a wildflower exemption is
granted in the ordinance, it applies only
from March 1 to June 15 and to wild-
flowers under 18 inches, ruling out
summer- and fall - bloomers, perennials,
biennials and some of our most beautiful
and spectacular taller flowers.
Third, the ordinance refers appeals dir-
ectly back to the same zoning board
where the rulings originate and offers no
appeal at all outside the wildflower
exemption period of March 1 to June 15.
These three problems have allowed the
wildflower ordinance to be used against
yards which are unconventionally main-
tained and cared for. While it is true that
people in a city must respect the rights of
their neighbors to a clean landscape,
those same neighbors must respect the
plurality of attitudes and values which
exist in a free and open society. For these
reasons, the ordinance should be amen-
ded to allow wildflowers during the entire
year and to provide for impartial appeal of
rulings to a judicial authority at any time
of the year.
The College Station City Council was
on the right track with Ordinance 1811
allowing the restricted growing of wild-
flowers within city limits. A new ordi-
nance can still be aimed at "weeding out"
conditions of true neglect without impos-
ing rigid standards of beauty that may
not be universally shared. Each of us
owes it to his own sense of civic and spiri-
tual freedom not to pass philosophical,
aesthetic or moral judgments on earnest,
individual attempts to create beauty in
our own yards without the intensive use
of gasoline, water. pesticides and noise.
An unmatched diversity earns Texas its
reputation as the Wildflower State and is
a great part of our natural heritage, in
which all who want to may share. The job
now at hand in College Station is to fur-
ther refine our wildflower ordinance be-
gun two years ago and pass a newly re-
vised ordinance allowing the planting of
wildflowers without restrictions, unless
neglect can be shown to an impartial
body. None of us should have to fear
having a lovingly nurtured wild land-
scape reduced to a "lawn" of stubble.
Let's keep College Station a place where
ideas of beauty can be freely and respect-
fully expressed in all their brilliant di-
versity.

CS council may move to rezone University Drive
The College Station City Council on
Wednesday will discuss creating a new
zoning classification.
The business commercial classification
is intended to be an alternative to C -1
general commercial and C -3 planned
commercial zones.
General commercial zones allows a
wide range of businesses, while planned
commercial zones allow no restaurants,
theaters, night clubs or other "traffic ge-
nerators."
Business commercial zones would al-
low some "traffic- generating" businesses,
like restaurants and theaters, but ex-
clude others, including gas stations and
convenience stores.
A subcommittee of the College Station
Planning and Zoning Commission, work-
ing with the city's planning staff, is rec-
ommending the new zone as part of a
study of University Drive.
Members of the subcommittee are
George Dresser, Steve Esmond and
Randy Michel. Staff members working on
the project are Jane Kee, Sabine Kuenzel,
Edwin Hard, Nanette Manhart and
Natalie Thomas.
The study recommends that the coun-
cil establish a special district along Uni-
versity to protect the appearance of the
city's last undeveloped entryway.
The study recommends requiring the
use of elevated areas to screen parking
lots from the street and requiring the use
of specific types of trees "to create a
theme."
The new district would also have rules
limit to heights, colors and lettering
ptyles on signs and limit building colors
to "avoid unattractive colors and color
combinations."
The council will also discuss possible
changes to the city's drainage policy. As-
sistant City Manager Tom Brymer said
the discussion will focus on what level of
maintenance the city is going to provide
for the drainage system.
The council meets for a workshop
Wednesday at 4 p.m. and Thursday at 7
p.m. in College Station City Hall. 1101

CS 100 kin g
for new plan
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The city of College Station is looking for
new ways to control flooding without
draining the city budget.
City staffers on Wednesday night pre-
sented the council with possible solu-
tions to problems with the city's drainage
system.
One problem is the perception by some
People that the city maintains all drain-
age right of ways, said Assistant City
Manager Tom Brymer. City ordinances
require property owners to maintain
drainage areas.
Some property owners build their back
fences too far into the drainage ditch,
blocking the flow of water, Brymer said,
but added, "We don't have an ordinance
saying they can't do that."
He said erosion had made some drain-
age ditches so steep it was practically im-
possible for residents to maintain them.
City Engineer David Pullen suggested
making changes in the city's drainage
policy and clarifying restrictions on what
can be built in flood plains. He also sug-
gested the city specify that it would only
take care of concrete surfaces, major ero-
sion and flood control, with property
owners controlling weeds and being re-
sponsible for maintaining the overall ap-
pearance of the drainage way.
Brymer said the council should con-
sider a bond - funded capital improvement
program to improve drainage areas
enough that property owners would be
able to maintain them.
Brymer brought up the possibility of a
drainage utility, where properties are as-
sessed a fee based on how much runoff
they produce, but one council member
quickly balked at the idea.
"That's just a lot of work to collect more
money," said Councilman Dick Birdwell.
"If we need the money we ought to just
raise taxes."
City staffers in Bryan are working on a
drainage utility education program.
Mayor Larry Ringer instructed the Col-
lege Station staff to look at ways to carry
out some of the suggestions.
City staffers also presented a study on
the University Drive corridor, making
recommendations on zoning changes and
addressing aesthetics in the last undeve-
loped entrance to the city.
The study recommends creating of a
new zoning category — business com-
mercial — which would prohibit busi-
nesses the council members consider
unsightly, such as tire stores, garages,
gas stations and convenience stores.
The council will officially accept the re-
port at today's 7 p.m. meeting.
The council meets at the College Sta-
tion City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S.

"It's helped us that people are
not afraid to get involved," Kapella

thing, police will take action to find
out what is going on."

College Station
crime rate drops
in 1st half of '91
College Station's decrease in ma-
jor crimes in the first six months of
the year can be attributed to grow-
ing community involvement, Col-
lege Station Police Lt. Bernie Kape-
lla said Wednesday.
The College Station Police De-
partment released its semiannual
report on crime statistics Wednes-
day. The report compares College
Station police activity from Jan-
uary to June 1991 with 1990 sta-
tistics for the same period.
Major offenses in College Station
decreased 16.78 percent, from
1,460 in 1990 to 1,215 in 1991.
Kapella said the report reflects a
trend of decreasing crime in Col-
lege Station in the past few years.
Major offenses include murder,
rape, robbery, aggravated assault,
theft and burglary.
"There is more citizen in-
volvement and people are reporting
more things," Kapella said. "it
helps police because we can't be
everywhere at all times."
Police took 15,936 calls in 1991,
compared with 14,990 in 1990, an
increase of 6.31 percent.
Burglaries dropped 18.31 per-
cent, from 486 in 1990 to 397 in
1991.
"People are becoming more
aware of what is going on in their
neighborhoods," Kapella said.
"There are more reports of suspi-
cious activity and people are be-
ginning to realize they can make an
impact on crime in the commun-
ity.'
Alcohol- related accidents in-
creased 38.46 percent, from 13 in
1990 to 18 in 1991, but DWI
arrests were down 19.49 percent,
from 1951n 1990 to 157 in 1991.
Kapella said the alcohol- related
accident increase shows a growing
effort among officers to detect
when people have been drinking.
He said DWI arrests are down be-
cause of strong community em-
phasis on alcohol education.

CS Council approves most proposals
contained in University Drive study
1�
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council on
Thursday approved most of the recom-
mendations in a study of the University
Drive corridor.
Council members voted 4 -3 against
amending the study to zone two Universi-
ty Drive lots less restrictively than rec-
ommended by the study. Council mem-
bers Dick Birdwell and Fred Brown want-
ed to amend the study and zone the two
lots at the intersection of University and
the East Bypass as C -1, allowing any
kind of commercial development. The
study recommended the two lots be
zoned C -B, which prohibits convenience
stores and gas stations.
Councilwoman Lynn McIlhaney said
the change would defeat the purpose of
study, which she said was to protect the
aesthetics of the last undeveloped corri-
dor leading into the city.
The amendment failed, with Mayor
Larry Ringer joining Brown and Birdwell.
Council members Jim Gardner, Vernon
Schneider and Nancy Crouch joined
McIlhaney.
The council did disagree with one of the
study's recommendations — zoning the
northwest corner of Robins Loop Drive
and University for admininistrative -
professional, instead of for apartments.
City staffers will now design ordinances
to carry out the recommendations of the
study.
The council also approved a council-
relations policy, which outlines re-
lationships between the council and city
staffers, the media and each other.
The policy includes the Ephebic Oath, a
preamble suggested by Gardner, which
was used by the young men of ancient
Athens:
■We will never bring disgrace to this,
our City, by any act of dishonesty or cow-
ardice; we will fight for our ideals and
sacred things of the City, both alone and
with many; we will revere and obey the
City's laws and do our best to incite a like
respect and reverence in those about us;
we will strive unceasingly to quicken the
public's sense of civic duty; and thus in
all the ways we will strive to transmit this
City not only not less but greater, better,
and more beautiful than it was transmit-
ted to us.

CS Police Department looks
toward accreditation this fall
By Leigh Strope
Eagle staff writer
The College Station Police Depart-
ment's 3 1 /2 -year quest for accredita-
tion may end in November.
The department had hoped for a
July accreditation, but postponed the
required on -site assessment to spend
more time preparing for the examina-
ition, CSPD accreditation manager
Corky Sandel said.
"We wanted to go back through
everything and double check," he said.
"We wouldn't be satisfied for [the as-
sessors] to come here and say we
barely made it. We want them to say
that this is one of the finest depart-
ments in the country."
If accredited, CSPD will become only
the 11 th accredited law enforcement
agency in Texas, Sandel said. Fewer
than 200 agencies are accredited na-
tionwide.
The Commission on Accreditation
for Law Enforcement Agencies, based
in Fairfax, Va., has 924 law enforce-
ment standards. To receive accredita-
tion, CSPD must comply with 572
mandatory standards and 80 percent
of 352 optional standards.
Every five years, accredited agencies
are reevaluated and must meet at least
90 percent of optional standards.
The commission was formed in 1979
by representatives of the International
Association of Chiefs of Police, the
National Organization of Black Law
Enforcement Executives, the National
Sheriffs Association and the Police
Executive Research Foundation.
Sandel said accreditation will reduce
the department's liability insurance by
10 percent, or $20,000 over a five -year
period; increase law enforcement ca-
pabilities; and bring pride to the de-
partment and community. CSPD had
to pay $11,500 to cover application
fees and on -site inspections.
In February 1987, the department
began to reevaluate its policies and
procedures based on accreditation
standards, Sandel said. In November
1989, the department was officially
accepted into the application process.
As the last phase of the process,
CSPD will get an on -site visit Aug.

"We're really opening
up for inspection " he said. "Were
putting our best foot forward."
A public hearing will be held
during the inspection for resi-
dents to comment on the depart-
ment's performance, Sandel said.
CSPD also is required to provide a
direct phone line to the assess-
ment team for people to give their
opinions on the department.
If CSPD successfully completes
it t he August examination,
receive official accreditation at the
commission conference in Sa-
vannah, Ga., in November.
• If we were to stop today and
not go for accreditation, we are a
much begoene department for
having through the
g
process," Sandel said.

Problems with ordinance
Jack Rowe and Patricia Turner have
beautifully stated some of the faults in
College Station's "Wildflower" Ordinance
1811 (Eagle, July 9). I concur completely
in what they have written.
In addition to the shortcomings of the
ordinance in its details, there are several aspects
fudamental and philosophical
that should be considered.
■The ordinance is a step toward city
control of landscaping an invasion of ci-
vil liberties by depriving people his the free
en of their property. to ba-
sophically obnoxious and contrary
sic American principles.
■The ordinance was not voted on by
the citizens of College Station, only by the
City Council.
■The ordinance is quite impossible to
enforce because it uses a number of
words and terms that are not defined and
that can mean one thing to one person
and something else to another. What is a
"weed "? One persons weed is another's
flower.
■The city's bureaucrats seem to be
overlooking a very important provision in
the ordinance. In an attempt to protect
the rights of individuals, it quite properly
states, in part, "... unlawful ... to per-
mit weeds, brush or any unsightly or ob-
jectionable vegetation to grow due to a
lack of vegetation management." From
this it seems clear that where there is
continuing "vegetation management,"
and where the vegetation in question is a
result of that management according to
the manager's plan, there is no violation
of the ordinance.
■Enforcement of the ordinance is ap-
parently erratic, discriminatory, punitive
and certainly at the option of the enforc-
ing personnel. Even a casual walk

The Eagle
around the block or a drive around town
shows that there are thousands of viola-
tions. Some are cases of gross neglect
and extremely unattractive appearance
— some on city property. Yet only a rela-
tive few are cited, and these include some
in which there is no lack of "vegetation
management" and on which a lot of work
has been done to provide something of
beauty. One has to wonder just how the
specific ones cited are selected from
among the thousands.
■ Whatever effort the city puts into the
enforcement of this ordinance is done at
the taxpayers' expense. Is there any sig-
niflcant taxpayer demand for higher
taxes so that the city can impose its will
In such relatively trivial matters? I think
not!
This ordinance represents another
case of good intentions gone awry. It is
philosophically in error, poorly written,
carelessly interpreted, erratically enfor-
ced and expensive.

Bryan outspends College Station in city council races
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The candidates for the College Station
City Council got a bargain compared to
what their counterparts in Bryan spent
for council races in the May election.
The most expensive campaign in Bryan
cost over $1,000 more than the most ex-
pensive College Station race.
Councilman Rudy Schultz spent just
over $3,500 in beating Ben Hardeman for
Place 3 on the Bryan Council. Council-
man Lonnie Stabler's campaign spent
almost $3,500 in unseating Kandy Rose
from Place 6 on the Bryan Council.
Schultz's finance report indicates he
spent $600 of his own money, with the
rest coming from contributions of less
than $50.
Stabler's report showed he loaned his
campaign $1,000. All the other contribu-
tions were under $50, except for $100
from the Bryan law firm of Crowley and
Waltman and $70 from Trey Thurmond,
Stabler's campaign treasurer.
Councilman Jim Gardner's campaign
for Place 5 on the College Station Council
cost $2,418. John C. Webb, Gardner's
opponent, had not filed a financial report
by 4 p.m. Monday.
Gardner spent $1,500 of his own
money on the campaign.
Final campaign finance reports were
due on Monday.
The losers spent quite a bit of cash, as
well.

Birdwell spends most in last period of school races
By Kelll Levey
Eagle staff writer
During the final reporting period for
May's school board election, the winner
of Position 7 spent more money than
any other candidate and thousands of
dollars more than his opponent.
William R. Birdwell spent $5,277.27
and got $4,222.60 in contributions. His
opponent, Sharyn S. Galvin, spent
$545.06 and received $3,714.13 in con-
tributions. Travis Bryan Jr., who
created the Position 7 vacancy when he
chose not to seek re- election after 20
years on the board, donated $100 to
Birdwell's campaign.
Birdwell also received $200 from Wil-
liam L. Wiley and $100 each from
James R. Hodges, Koronka Dental Lab,
Mary M. Moore, Kyle Read, Dallas
Little, Richard S. Smith and Phil
Adams.
He spent $1,881.95 on advertising,
$1,295.96 on printing, and paid
$968.02 for an advertising consultant.
He repaid himself for a loan of $940.60,
paid $500 for art for advertising and
$604.41 for mailings.
Galvin borrowed $3,335.13 and
received $379 in contributions of $50 or
less. She spent $197.06 on campaign
literature, $134 for postage, $76.59 for
campaign coffees and $72.40 for door -
to -door handouts.
During the final reporting period of
his successful bid for Position 6, Allan
Wayne Hanson spent $2,736.99. His
opponent, Nancy B. Pride, spent
$2,905.70.
Hanson repaid a $1,000 loan from
himself and spent $603 on newspaper
advertising, $379.33 for postage,
$344.60 on a phone bank and reception
and $250.06 on printing.
Pride's contributions totaled $975,
including $250 from Jim James and
$725 in contributions of $50 or less.
She spent $1,905.70 to repay a loan to
herself, $885 to television station KBTX
for advertising and $158.87 to Delucia
Presort for mailing postcards.
Hanson's $2,015 in contributions in-
cluded $1,290 in increments of $50 or
less, $200 from Bill and Linda Wiley,
$200 from Bill C. Presnal and $100
from Phil Adams. Louis Newman do-
nated printing valued at $125.
Sherman Click, who ran unopposed
on the College Station Place 1 ballot,
signed a waiver stating he would spend
no more than $500 in his campaign.
Clair Nixon, who won the Place 2
candidate race, reported no contribu-
tions or expenditures by Monday's
deadline. His opponent, Greg Stiles,
filed a waiver.
Final campaign financial reports
were due Friday. Hanson and Pride
submitted reports covering April 25 to
July 15, Galvin s report covered March
26 to June 30, and Birdwell's report
covers April 25 to June 30.
$2,200, while Hardeman spent about
$2,600.
The bulk of Rose's campaign funds —
$1,900 — came in contributions of less
than $50. She also loaned her campaign
about $2,500.
Hardeman's funds came primarily from
a $1,500 loan from First City Texas Bank
in Bryan.
Mayor Marvin Tate spent just over
$1,000 on his reelection campaign, as did
Councilman Hank McQuaide for Place 1
on the Bryan Council.
Some candidates proved that cam-
paigns don't have to be expensive. The
campaigns for College Station winners
Fred Brown and Lynn McIlhaney, and
losers Jean Wlliamson and Archie Ward
Julien, cost less than $500. W.E. 'Bill'
Crutchfield and Pete Palasota spent less
than $500 in Bryan.

nexed. For the property to be an-
nexed, 51 percent of landowners
must want the annexation.
So far, businesses that want
annexation include O.I. Analy-
tical, Soil Analytical Services Inc.,
the Crowley & Waltman law firm,
Trio Inc., Texas A &M Research
Foundation and Fire Security
Systems, according to letters
received by the city attorney's of-
fice.
Micon Engineering also wants
annexation, but President R. Page
Heller doesn't like the way the city
is going about it.
"They want to annex the abso-
lute minimum," Heller said. "They
want to leave the road to the
county, so they don't have to
maintain it.
"Once they do that, there will
never be a reason for them to an-
nex the road."
According to Norton, the city
plans to annex a 1,000 -foot strip
of property that will begin behind
the College Station Junior High
and run south until it reaches the
lots along the north side of Gra-
ham Road. The city would annex
the developed lots along the north
side of the road, then cross over
Graham where it meets Wellborn
Road and annex the developed
land on the south side of the road,
leaving the road in the county.
"It's a silly way to go about it,"
Heller said.
Lynn Elliott, owner of Lometa
Petroleum, is against annexation.
"I don't want to put up with city
regulations," Elliott said. "They
have regulations as thick as a
Sears & Roebuck catalog."
Elliott moved Lometa from Uni-
versity Drive in College Station
three years ago to escape city or-
dinances.
"The city will drive you crazy
with all their petty this and petty
that," he said. "I have no need for
sewer and their electric rates are
twice what I'm paying. The only
thing the city would be giving me
would be an increase in cost."
Ron Ragland, College Station's
city manager, said it wouldn't be
fair for city residents to have to
pay to bring a piece of property
outside the city limits into com-
pliance with city standards.
Ragland said adding utilities
and bringing the streets to the
city's standards could cost $1.5
million.
One proposal that interests
both city and county officials is for
the county to improve the road to
county standards, then let Col-
lege Station maintain the road to
county standards under a con-
tract with the county. Since the
city wouldn't own the road, it
wouldn't have to pay to bring the
road up to city standards. City
standards are more stringent
than the county's. The city re-
quires streets to have curbs and
gutters; the county doesn't.

Gunman sprays bullets into park crowd
Police say it's a `miracle'
nobody killed in incident
By Chuck Squatriglia
Eagle staff writer
A man armed with semi - automatic pis-
tols opened fire on a group of people in a
College Station park early Saturday morn-
ing, injuring six.
The drive -by shooting occurred at Wayne
Smith Park, Montclair at Luther streets, at
about 12:30 a.m., College Station Lt. Mike
Patterson said. About a dozen people were
at the park at the time, he said. Bryan
police arrested two men near 28th and
Sims streets in Bryan minutes later.
Authorities on Saturday charged Aaron
Lamart Johnson, 17, of 1012 E. 29th St. in
Bryan, and Derrick Lamar Weatherspoon,
20, of 120 Ridge Creek Apt. 210 in College
Station, with six counts of aggravated as-
sault each. They remained in Brazos
County Jail Saturday night in lieu of
$60,000 bail each.
Witnesses told police they were at the
park when someone in a tan Chevrolet
Blazer began shooting at the crowd from
Montclair Street, Patterson said. The truck
fled westbound on Luther Street toward
Wellborn Road, Patterson said.
College Station police en route to the
park saw the truck and noted its license
plate and general description, Patterson
said. When the victims told police that the
truck contained the gunman, the officers
notified Bryan authorities, Patterson said.
Bryan officers stopped the truck near
28th and Sims street and arrested the two
men inside. Bryan officers found a 9mm
semi - automatic pistol and a .22 -caliber
semi - automatic pistol on Sims Street near
where police arrested the men, Patterson
said.
Police have dusted the weapons for fing-
erprints, but comparison tests with finger-
prints of those arrested were not completed
Saturday night, Patterson said.
Police do not believe the shooting was
gang - related, Patterson said; they believe i
stemmed from a Thursday night argumen
about the girlfriend of one of the arrester
men's and a victim or someone in the
crowd.
Victims and witnesses could not bq
reached for comment on Saturday.
Paramedics took three victims to Hu.
mana Hospital- Brazos Valley for treatmeni
and two to St. Joseph Hospital; the sixth re-
fused treatment, Patterson said. Injured in
the shooting were:
■Shalonda Bloom, 17, 134 Luther St
Apt. 232 in College Station. Doctors treated
her for a gunshot wound to the right ear

tion. She suffered a gunshot
wound to the back and was
released following treatment Sat-
urday.
■Lewis Freeman, 19, 803 -C
Lisa St. in Bryan. He was shot
twice in the right leg and re-
mained in stable condition at the
hospital Saturday afternoon.
■Eric Pratt, 18, 104 Sterling
St. in College Station. He suffered
a single gunshot wound to the
right leg and was released from
St. Joseph Hospital on Saturday.
■James Stewart, 22, 415
Thompson St. in College Station.
Doctors at St. Joseph treated him
for a single gunshot wound to the
left forearm and released him
Saturday.
■Richard Young, 22, 1100
Georgia St. in College Station. He
was grazed in the forehead by a
bullet and refused medical treat-
ment.
Patterson said the victims were
lucky they didn't suffer more seri-
ous injuries.
"The real miracle of it is the
superficiality of the wounds," he
said. "One girl got hit in the ear.
Two inches' difference in either
direction could have killed her."

Rocky road ahead for highway projects
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
Local drivers may notice their
rides getting bumpier because of
scarce funds for highway
projects.
Several projects, including
LoTrak, could be shelved be-
cause of the state's budget
shortfall.
"Some of the projects we have
planned have been delayed,"
said Delton Kittrell, assistant
district engineer for the highway
department's Bryan district.
"There's just no funding."
The district's budget for this
year is $17 million, Kittrell said,
half what the district usually
spends in a year. The district
has spent as much as $90 mil-
lion in one year.
There are more than 2,000
miles of federal and state high-
ways and farm -to- market roads
in the 10 counties that make up
the Bryan district, Kittrell said.
The district stretches from
Washington County in the south
to Freestone County in the north
and includes 122 miles of Inter-
state 45.
In the past, financing for local
highway projects was ready
when the plans were finished.
Now the plans sit until the
money becomes available.
"We have a fixed budget," Kit -
trell said. "We have to pick and
choose which projects we want
to do."
The money crunch may mean
a delay for several long- awaited
projects.
For example, Kittrell said, Lo-
Trak is "hanging in the fh•e."
LoTrak would lower the
Southern Pacific Railroad tracks
into a trench stretching from
Villa Maria Road in Bryan to Hol-
leman Drive in College Station.
The project would improve ac-
cess between Texas A &M's Main
and West campuses and turn
Wellborn Road into a separated
four -lane highway.
College Station voters rejected
funding for the project in a
December bond election. The
city of Bryan, Texas A &M and
the highway department have all
committed to the project.
Of the various projects on the
drawing board, Kittrell said only
three will definitely start before
the end of the year — widening
Texas 21 between Texas A &M's
Riverside Campus and the Bra-
zos River, and widening FM 158
and FM 1159, east of the East
Bypass.
"There should be enough in
the budget," he said.
The Bryan City Council on
Monday will consider helping
the state fund the FM 158
project.

"Everything else is a backlog
until we get some funding," Kit -
trell said.
Plans to add one lane to Texas
Avenue between University Drive
and Texas 30 have been around
for about a year. But Kittrell could
not give a definite time for starting
the project because "the funding
Is uncertain."
Another planned project is
Texas 47, which would run from
Texas 60 near Easterwood Airport
to Texas 21 at the Riverside Cam-
pus. That project is on hold for the
foreseeable future.
Kittrell said the condition of the
area's highways is going "downhill
rather rapidly."
"A lot of the projects we have
Planned would replace older
roads," Kittrell said. "When you
do widening projects, you also re-
pave the whole thing."
Funds for the extension of FM
2818 to the East Bypass in Col-
lege Station and for improve-
ments necessary to make the ac-
cess roads on the bypass one way
were approved before the budget
crunch occurred, Kittrell said.
Both of those projects are under
construction.
Getting enough money for
highway projects may not be the
only problem facing the Bryan
district.
State Comptroller John Sharp
has recommended that the high-
way department close 12 of its 24
district offices in the state, a move
that will eliminate almost 600
employees and save the state an
estimated $535 million by 1996.
Sharp did not specify which 12
should closing, choosing to leave
that decision to the highway de-
partment.
The Legislature is considering
Sharp's proposals during a spe-
cial session to write a state
budget.

The city of College Station may be
branching out into the tree planting
business.
City staffers will present a plan to
the College Station City Council on
Thursday to spend $50,000 to plant
trees.
The American Public Power Asso-
ciation, of which the city is a mem-
ber, has set a goal of planting one
tree for every public power con-
sumer in the country, said Ross Al-
brecht, the city's forestry superin-
tendent.
"The major emphasis of this
project is energy conservation," Al-
brecht said. "The trees provide
shade. Part of the program will
show people where to plant trees to
save the most energy."
Albrecht will ask the council to
fund the program for one year,
which would give 2,000 residents
$20 vouchers that can be used to
get trees at local nurseries.
"The vouchers would probably be
handed out during Public Power
Awareness week," he said, "along
with posters telling which kinds of
trees grow best in the area."
But with 18,000 residential and
800 commercial customers, it will
take years before the city could
reach its goal, Albrecht said.
Publicizing the program will cost
an estimated $10,000, Albrecht
said but there may be grants avail-
able that would allow the city to re-
cover some of the cost.
The council also will consider
reallocating a portion of the city's
1990 -91 Community Development
Block Grant funds.
The Bryan - College Station Joint
Relief Funding Review Committee
originally recommended giving
money to the Brazos Valley Council
on Alcohol and Substance Abuse.
City staffers in the community de-
velopment division said BVCASA
returned the money — $14,000 —
because it could not meet federal
requirements that say community
development funds must be used to
service moderate- to low- income
families.

CS City Council waylays plan
to plant shade trees on streets
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council on
Thursday axed a proposal to provide
funds for the College Station Tree Plan.
Ross Albrecht, the city's forestry super-
intendent, had asked the council to ap-
prove a $50,000 plan that would have
provided money for 20,000 tree vouchers
worth $20 each and another $10,000 for
promotional material.
The money would have come out of the
city's energy project fund.
The American Public Power Associa-
tion, of which College Station is a mem-
3er, is urging cities to plant trees to pro -
nde shade and save energy.
But council members Fred Brown and
Dick Birdwell had other ideas.
"This is an idea I can support, but we
should be planting trees along our
streets," Brown said. "That whole stretch
of Southwest Parkway between the By-
pass and Texas Avenue needs trees."
Birdwell quickly agreed.
"Instead of spending money on this
project, we should plant trees along our
right -of- ways," Birdwell said.
Councilwoman Lynn McIihaney said
that if the purpose of the plan was to save
energy, it wouldn't make sense to use
money from the utility department to
plant trees along city streets.
Assistant City Manager Tom Brymer
said city staff members were working on a
streetscape plan to beautify city roads.
City committees will get their first look at
the plan in a few weeks.
Birdwell moved to delay consideration
of any tree plan until the streetscape plan
was examined.
The motion passed 5 -2, with council
members Jim Gardner, Vernon
Schneider and Mayor Larry Ringer join-
ing Brown and Birdwell. Councilwoman
Nancy Crouch joined McIlhaney in voting
against the motion.

Police survey: Residents feel safe in CS
By Chuck Squatriglia
Eagle staff writer
More than 78 percent of College Station residents
feel "very safe" living where they do, according to a
survey by the city's Police Department.
The department on Friday released the results of
its third annual public opinion survey. In April, the
department mailed questionnaires to 200 residents
selected at random throughout the city; 92 people
completed them, Lt. Mike Mathews said.
Of the respondents, 72 said thev felt satisfied with
the department, up 20 percent from 1990. Eighty -
six people said they were "neutral or satisfied" with
the courtesy of the city's officers, Mathews said.
More than three - quarters of the respondents said
they felt safer in College Station than in the city they
moved here from, Mathews said. Respondents were
not asked to identify where they moved from, he
said.
Mathews said the results pleased the department,
gut officers will not rest on their laurels.
"This tells us we're doing a good job, but there's
ilways room for improvement," he said.
Department officials want to improve officer cour-
tesy and reduce the amount of time it takes officers
to respond to calls, Mathews said.
"I'm not saying they're bad," he said. "But there's
room for improvement."
The survey also told police that citizens want
police to devote most of their time to preventing and
investigating robberies and enforcing drug and driv-
ing while intoxicated laws, Mathews said.
Drug abuse, rape and child abuse prevention pro-
grams are the department's most important crime
prevention measures, the survey found. Respon-
dents listed investigating suspicious activity, de-
livering emergency messages and responding to
business security alarms as the department's most
important duties.
Department officials use the survey results to plan
annual goals and objectives, Mathews said.
"We use them to outline areas we want to concen-
trate on," he said. At helps us map out and plan our
activities."
College Station police have stepped -up DWI en-
forcement in recent years in response to past sur-
veys, he said. The department officials are still stu-
dying the results and have not determined what, if
any, changes will be implemented, he said.

Retycling mak es slow ro ress in

.Sy Phillip Sum
Eagle staff writer
Almost a year into pilot curbside recy-
cling programs in Bryan and College Sta-
tion, one thing is clear: It costs some green
to be a greenie.
The cities of Bryan and College Station
have spent about $33,000 each on pilot re-
cycling Programs that started in October.
Bryan has received about $4,500 in reven-
ues from the program, while College Sta-
tion has gotten back about $7,000.
While Bryan is planning to continue
curbside recycling at its present pace, Col-
lege Station city staffers in August will pre-
sent the CIty Council with a plan to take re-
cycling to almost every part of the city.
The move would add almost $100,000 to
the city's budget and mean a garbage rate
increase for College Station residents.
Curbside recycling, in which residents
separate recyclables into newsprint, alu-
minum and three types of glass, is in effect
for about 2,500 homes in each city. Since i t
started, the program has removed ab,
210 tons of Bryan recyclables and abo ` t.
392 tons of College Station recyclables.
Roger Drews, the director of Bryan's
waste services division, said the program
has only diverted about 2 percent from the
city's overall waste stream. He said Bryan
would not expand the program because it
would cost too much.
"Taking the program citywide would cost
an additional $250,000, and that would
Bryan - College Station
mean a rise in garbage collection rates,"
Drews said.
Drews arrived at the $250,000 figure by
multiplying $1.50 — the amount the cities
Pay Texas Comr —i cial Waste monthly for
each houst. -.n the recycling area - -- by the
n ,*,,.ber of houses that would be added to
rh ' program if all houses in Bryan were on
a recycling route — 16,900. Multiply that
number by 12 months and you get just over
$300,000, but Drews subtracts the expect-
ed return on recyclables.
College Station's additional costs are
lower because there are fewer single family
homes in the city.
Even if costs are prohibitive now. Drews
said he believes Bryan will have citywide
recycling by 1993.
"Curbside separation is not the most
beneficial way to recycie," Drews said.
"Only about 17 -18 percent of the people
participate."
Having the city sort the recyclables
would probably increase the amount of re-
cyclable waste recovered, Drews said, and
that increased volume would make the
program more cost effective.
Another problem plaguing the recycling
effort is the glut of recyclables on the mar-
ket caused by increased interest in _recy-
cling.
Drews said aluminum was bringing al-
most 50 cents a pound when the program
started, but that the price has fallen to a
Please see Recycle, 4A
Recycle
From 1A
little over 30 cents a pound.
Jim Smith, an administrative
assistant in the College Station
public services division, said that
while recycling costs a lot now,
starting a program will save
money in the future.
"We're trying to reshape peo-
ple's habits," he said. "It's an edu
cation effort."
Putting garbage in a landfill is
cheaper in Texas than recycling
because land is abundant, said
Joe LaBeau, director of public
services in College Station. But
tougher regulations expected
from the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency in the near future
would raise the costs of all land-
fills, LaBeau said.
The new regulations are expect-
ed to require such things as more
durable liners for landfills, long-
term testing of the soils and col-
lection of gasses from the landfill
after it closes, he said.
Smith said that if the city was
facing the 3100 -a -ton costs that
some East Coast cities were fac-
ing it would be saving money
with the recycling program.
Smith said his calculations
show it costs the city about
S53 -a -ton to recycle, after sub-
tracting the money made from
selling recyclables and the money
saved by not putting garbage in
the landfill.
The Brazos Valley Solid Waste
Management Agency, made up of
representatives from Bryan and
College Station, charges S15 -a-
ton to put garbage in its landfill on
Rock Prairie Road.
LaBeau admits the present
system is not the best way to re-
cycle, but said it was established
quickly at the request of the
council.
Future garbage and recycling
pickup in both cities will be done
by automation, with one man
operating a truck that will use a
robotic arm to pick up specially
designed trash cans. The city
would collect recyclables on one
day and the rest of the household
garbage on another.
The recyclables would then be
sorted by hand.
LaBeau said he believes such a
plan would cut recycling costs in
half.
Drews and Smith think recy-
cling is here to stay and that it will
be cost effective in the future.
"People are slowly going to recy-
cled products," Drews said. "More
companies are finding uses for re-
cycled materials."
Recycling will really take hold in
five to 10 years, Drews predicted.
Smith is also optimistic.
"It's really not that bad a deal."
Smith said about the current re-
cycling efforts. "And this is not
the end. There are still things to
do."

CS council to consider annexation
The College Station City Council on
Thursday will consider a request for an-
nexation from some of the property
owners along Graham Road.
The road is dust south of the College
Station city limits. Some of the busi-
nesses along the road have asked to be
annexed into the city so they can get city
utilities.
City officials have estimated that ex-
tending utilities and improving Graham
Road, which does not meet city or county
standards, would cost about $1.5 million.
• City staffers have mentioned the possi-
bility of annexing both sides of the road
and leaving most of the road outside the
city limits, so the city wouldn't bear the
cost of improving the road.
"There really won't be anything new at
the meeting other than the council telling
staff how they want us to proceed," said
Jim Callaway, director of the city's plan-
ning department.
The council will meet at 7 p.m. at the

ing out property not
request annexation.
The College Station City Council also
approved a scheme presented by City
Planner Jim Callaway that has the city
annexing a narrow strip of land south
from the city limits. The strip incl des
piece of land owned by a company that
does not wish to join the city, continues
ernes
south until it reaches the properties
along the north side of South Graham,
then goes east toward the East Bypass
where it picks u three he lots owned by
people asking to j oin
The strip also extends west, where it
picks up five lots near the junction with
Wellborn Road.
The lots in between the two areas to be
annexed would remain out of the city lim-
its and would not receive city services.
Callaway said the city will not force an-
nexation on the other businesses be-
cause the city or willingly- annexed prop-
erties would be liable for service and utili-
ty line extension fees tabs for the forced
properties. plan 4 -2,
The council approved the p
with council members Jim Gardner and
Vernon Schneider dissenting. Gardner
and Schneider wanted the city to annex
the block of land that will separate the
strip from the rest of the city.
Councilman Dick Birdwell said the an-
nexation probably would cost the city
money, but that the ensuing economic
development would prove beneficial in
the long run.
Most of the businesses along South
Graham are in high -tech fields.

College Station recycling
figures higher than stated
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff write
College Station officials know it takes
money to recycle, but they were 9 little oft'
recently when they said how much.
Jim Smith, administrative assistant in
the city's public works division, said in an
Aug. 4 story in the Eagle that recycling
was costing the city $53 a ton. He now
says that figure was too low.
"Once you add in the revenues for recy-
cling and the costs avoided by not putting
garbage in the landfill, it costs $128.86
• per ton to recycle," Smith said. "I made a
mistake in putting a figure into the com-
puter and it threw all the calculations
off."
Smith said he discovered the mistake
about a week later, but he doesn't think
the new figures will change plans to take
the recycling project city -wide.
"We still plan to do it," Smith said.
"We've gotten a very enthusiastic re-
sponse from the citizens."

CS park should have a curfew
My husband and I live near Wayne
Smith Park, unlike parks in other College
Station neighborhoods, does not have a
curfew. We often are kept awake all night
by noise, including loud music, yelling
and gunshots. We keep the phone num-
ber to the police right by my bedside be-
cause we have to call so often. The shoot-
ing incident a few weeks ago would prob-
ably have been prevented if a curfew was
enforced in the park. Midnight is too late

that residents cannot get a good night's

By Phillip Sulak city's Pilot Eagle staff writer o r ecycling program, which staf- surplus money from the city's debt service
fers are proposing to take city -wide next and
It's mostly good news for residents of Col-
lege Station in the city's 1991 -92 budget.
College Station city staffers are recom_
mending that the cIVs property tax rate
remain at 40 cents per $100 of evaluation
in the 1991 -92 fiscal year. The city has had
a 40 -cent property tax rate since the
1989 -90 budget year.
But the staff is suggesting a rise in sewer
and garbage rates that would take effect on
Oct. I.
Single - family garbage rates would go
from $6.30 to $7.75 a month in the staffs
recommended budget. Garbage rates for
apartment complexes would go from $4,20
to $4.75. The rate increase will pay for the
Year. general funds.
"We think we c
The proposed budget calls for a 10 per-
cent increase in the sewer rates. City staff
members said other city revenue sources
have been supporting the waste water
system, and that this increase would allow
the division to pay for itself.
The city's overall budget is about $60 mil-
lion, a 6.8 percent increase over last year's
$56 million.
City staffers were originally planning a
2 -cent tax increase to pay for a bond sale to
fund street and park improvements ap-
proved by College Station voters in Decem_
ben
Charles Cryan, the city's budget officer,
said the increase was avoided by taking
service at the current leeveel keep customer
taxes
where they're at now," Cryan said.
Continued growth in the city's tax base
also will help keep the city's tax base down,
Cryan said. New businesses should be ad-
ding sales and property taxes to the city's
coffers in the next year, he said.
"Hopefully, the city will continue to
grog'," Cryan said. "and that growth will
track the growth in city expenditures.
Cryan said city staffers were p a
number of "demand driven" fees that would
be assessed only to the person or group re-
ceiving a city service.
The budget also calls for the eliminating
eight total positions. Ten jobs are being cut
9 90 -91 rate
from the city's sanitation department as a
result of the city instituting a new auto-
mated garbage collection system.
But two employees are being added — a
personnel analyst and a mechanic at the
Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management
Agency's landfill.
The budget calls for reducing residential
electric rates, but the new rates won't go
into effect until the first of the year, when
the city begins buying power from the
Texas Municipal power Agency.
Residents will be given a chance to give
their opinion on the budget on Thursday at
the council's regular meting in the College
Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S. at 7
P.M.

CS holds public budget hearing
A public hearing on the the
1 -92 College Station city
budget tops the agenda of Thurs-
day's City Council.
The public is invited to give its
opinion on the budget, which is
available for review in the city sec-
retary's office, located on the first
floor of the College Station City
Hall, 110 1 Texas Ave. S.
City staffers are proposing a
budget that would keep the city's
property tax rate at 40 cents per
$ 100 valuation. It would also
raise garbage and sewage rates.
The council is scheduled to dis-
cuss the budget at a retreat on
Sept. 28 -29.

CS council prepares for two days of budget talks
By Phillip Sulalt
Eeipl9~wruer
The College Station City Coun-
cil will take an up close and per-
sonal look at the city's budget on
Wednesday and Thursday during
hearings that will last from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. both days.
Last year's budget retreat fea-
tured haggling over utility rates
and future bond packages, but
this year's retreat should be
quieter, Mayor Larry Ringer said.
"There may be some questions
on the projects from last year's
bond election," Ringer said. "The
stag figured out a way to go ahead
with those projects without rais-
ing taxes, but at the cost of post-
poning some needed maintenance
items."
College Station voters in
December approved $4.5 million
in capital improvement packages
for streets and parks. The city
staff had estimated that the elec-
tion would mean a 4.5 cent tax in-
crease to pay for the new projects.
City stagers have presented the
council with a $60 million budget,
with a tax rate of 40 cents per
$100 valuation. The tax rate has
been at 40 cents since 1988.
The proposed budget is based
on new fees that will shift some
the cost of city services onto the
people that use those services. If
the council decides against some
of those fees the budget will have
to be changed, Ringer said.
The council will meet in the Col-
lege Station Conference Center,
1800 George Bush Drive.

CS police earn nationwide recognition
Strict enforcement of the state's seat belt law
earned College Station Police national recognition
last week.
The National Highway Safety and Transportation
Administration presented city and police officials
With a 70 Percent -Plus Honor Roll" plaque at a city
council meeting Thursday night.
The award is given to communities where 70 per-
cent or more of all motorists wear seat belts, said
Sgt. Greg Lewis. Seventy -five percent of College Sta-
tion drivers buckle up, he said.
Results are based on random surveys of passing
motorists made in accordance with administration
guidelines, lie said.
Police selected 12 spots throughout the city and
had a volunteer count how many of the first 250
passing drivers were wearing their seat belts. The
surveys were done in February and again in April,
and the results combined to find an average, Lewis
said.
In 1989, when the department began aggressively
enforcing the seat belt law, about 65 percent of local
motorists buckled up, Lewis said. Federal officials
hope to raise the percentage of motorists who wear
seat belts from 49 percent to 70 nationwide percent

CS approves $500,000 in new fees
N
o By Phillip Sulak
i_ Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council approved
an estimated $500,000 in new fees Wednes-
day in the first day of its budget workshop.
The "demand driven' fees are designed to
have some city services paid for by the people
who use them.
About $140,000 will come in new charges to
customers of the city's police, fire, emergency
medical and other public services. If the city's
EMS responds in the city and gives little or no
treatment, there will be no charge. Responses
that require the emergency team to be on the
site for more than a half -hour or that are out-
side the city limits will cost the patient $100.
The city will now charge $250 for a trip re-
quiring advanced life - support and transporta-
tion to a hospital.
Having the city's emergency crews standby
for an athletic event will cost $145, but council
members voted not to charge the College Sta-
tion School district for this service. Other
standbys will cost $50.
Non - emergency police escorts — primarily
for funerals and transporting wide -loads —
will now cost $15.
The city also will charge $15 to pick up dead
animals from veterinarians and pet stores.
Recent changes made by the Texas Legisla-
ture will allow the city to collect an additional
$35,000, said Glenn Schroeder, the city's chief
financial officer.
"How much we actually collect depends on
when it goes in effect," Schroeder said.
Changes in state law raised the court costs a
city can charge to traffic violators. The
changes range from allowing the city to collect
$3 for all Uniform Traffic Act convictions to in-
creasing the city's court cost by $20 in cases
where parents are penalized for not sending
their children to school.
The city's utility fund will gain an estimated
$325,000 by charging new customers a con-
nection fee for water and electricity hookups.
City staffers had recommended that the coun-
cil earmark the funds either for a reduction in
utility rates or for updating the customer ser-
vice computer system, but it decided to delay
the decision until next year's budget.
City staffers will have to make changes in
the billing system before the connection fee
takes effect, which will take an estimated six
months.
The new fees are not part of the $60 million
budget that has been proposed by city staffers'.
Mayor Larry Ringer said the 'council would
probably apply the additional revenue to a
number of items city staff members think are
needed, but that the staff couldn't work into
the budget.
The council made one other budget change;,
using hotel -motel tax funds to give the Bryan-
College Station Chamber of Commerce
$357,500, instead of the $378,000 the Cham-
ber requested. That amount is 10 percent
more than the Chamber received last year.
The council also voted to put the $21,500
taken from the Chamber's request to start a
fund to finance tourism related projects.
The council will meet again today at 9 a.m.
in the College Station Conference Center,
1300 George Bush Drive. The council will try
to finalize the city's 1991 -92 budget and will
consider other demamd- driven fees.

Beneficial expenditures?
It sure seems like lots of folks are going
to the city councils with their hands out.
On Aug. 23, the Eagle listed severill
groups wanting to tap the taxpayers'
axp y
to the tune of more than $500,000, in-
cluding the Economic Development Cor-
poration, which pays its director a salary
of $71,000 per year. The groups request-
ing funding claim economic benefit to the
area of about $9 million — if that can be
believed!
When I Jog through parking lots during
these "beneficial" tors in station wagons
I see many ,
vans and recreational vehicles well-
stocked with provisions for tailgate par-
ties, plus probably a tankful of Houston
gasoline (because it's cheaper there) that

CS Council OKs recycling plan
The College Station City Council de-
cided Thursday to take recycling to al-
most every neighborhood in the city.
The lilan, approved in a workshop ses-
sion and still requiring final passage on
gept. 26, calls for Texas Commercial
Waste to continue its recycling program
in neighborhoods east of Texas Avenue.
The rest of the city will get jL new program
that will have residents dumping recy-
clables into a plastic tub to be picked up
by city crews.
The new program is expected to begin
in February, when the city will also begin
an automated garbage collection system
in which a single worker will drive a truck
equipped with a robotic arm for picking
up and dumping specially designed trash
cans.
The system will allow the city to cut
eight]obs in the solid waste division.
The Northgate area and the city's
apartments will be left out of the recy-
cling plan. City staffers are still designing
a program for apartment complexes and
negotiations are under way with Junc-
tion Five -0 -Five to build a new recycling
complex in the Northgate area.
The Northgate area is difficult to in-
clude in the recycling plan because cars
parked on the struts make it impossible
for the recycling trick to get through the
neighborhood, suffers said.
City-wide recycling was going, to cost
customers an additional. $1 a month for
garbage pickup, brit the staff proposed
paying for the program — estimated to
cost $95,000 — out of retained earnings
the city has gained from the Brazos Val-
ley Solid Waste Management Agency.
The budget Nfould also add two police
officers, two crossing guards, a clerk for
fleet services, expanded library hours
and funding for the Brazos Valley Com-
mittee on Alcohol and Substance Abuse.

College Station may see drop in electric bill
customer uses the most energy.
The utility customer pays that "demand
charge" to guarantee that the power supplier
will always have enough energy on hand.
"We have to have the peak supply available
at all times," said Linda Piwonka, executive di-
rector of the city's management services
group. "It's no less expensive just because
you're not using that peak 100 percent of the
time.
"The best thing people can do is try to stabi-
lize their usage. Using electricity at a steady
rate will keep the demand costs down."
The council will give final approval to the
budget on Sept. 26.
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
Electricity rates likely will go down in Feb-
ruary for College Station utility customers.
During a Thursday workshop session, the
College Station City Council tentatively ap-
proved a $60 million budget that includes a
4.6 percent electricity rate reduction — a divi-
dend of the city switching from Gulf States Uti-
lities to the Texas Municipal Power Agency in
1992. Rates would be reduced in February,
giving College Station residents a 20 percent
decrease since 1987.
But it could be a mixed blessing for some
► Council OKs recycling plan 2A
businesses.
Before the rate decrease, the city would be-
gin phasing in a TMPA "demand charge" that
means some commercial customers will actu-
ally pay higher bills.
The demand charge will go from a low of
$8.50 per kilowatt hour for peak usage by an
industrial customer to a high of $11.25 per ki-
lowatt hour for medium commercial cus-
tomers.
Demand charges are based on peak usage —
the 15 minute period each month in which a

CS's Wolf Pen Creek project off and running
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
All the hurdles have been cleared. Now
it's time to dig some dirt.
College Station is finally getting started
on the first phase of the Wolf Pen Creek
corridor, a project that has been on the
drawing board since 1987.
When finished, the city will have a park
that includes a 10,000 seat amphith-
eater, a 2.5 acre lake and 3,000 feet of
sidewalk around the lake and throughout
the park. The project is expected to cost
$1.3 million, with funding from the city,
the Nina Heard Astin Trust and the state
parks department.
"It's happening," said Steve Beachy,
the city's parks and recreation director. "I
think the perception among a lot of peo-
ple was that it never would happen."
The park is at the corner of Holleman
Drive and Dartmouth Street, but the
main entrance will be off Colgate Street.
City crews have started clearing the
14 -acre site that is Phase I of Wolf Pen
Creek. Bulldozers are clearing brush, and
Tree removal specialist Charles Heller works to clear an area for the new Wolf Pen
Creek project recently.
a portable tree chipper, roughly the size
of a flat bed trailer, is turning out saw-
dust.
The last stumbling block — approval of
the city's plans by the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department — was cleared Aug.
20. The city will open bids for the con-
struction phase of the project on Sept.
17. The City Council is scheduled to
award the contract at its Sept. 26 meet -
in After that, the dirt will really fly. The
expected opening date for the new am-

phitheater is late April of early
May, Beachy said.
Whenever the park is ready,
there should be a pretty good
party. The council has tentatively
approved $18,000 for the opening
celebration.
"We're hoping to get a name en-
tertainer," Beachy said. "Maybe
not someone as big as Garth
Brooks, but someone you've
heard of."
Beachy said that once the am-
phitheater is open, all the city's
festivals will moved to the facility.
"It'll improve the quality of the
performances," Beachy said.
"Other people, like the Brazos Val-
ley Symphony and theater
groups, will probably use it, too."
Private entrepreneurs may even
want to rent the facility for their
own shows, Beachy said.
Even when the amphitheater is
not in use, Beachy expects that
the rest of the park will be used on
a daily basis.
"Joggers, bicyclers, walkers,
people sunbathing ... that's the
sort of thing we expect to be hap-
pening on a day -to -day basis," he
said. "It will have a lot of the same
uses that are going on at the
Texas A &M Research Park right
now."
Whatever the immediate effects
of the project, Beachy hopes it will
continue to grow. The master plan
calls for a park to stretch along
Wolf Pen Creek from Texas
Avenue to Texas 6.
"This should be a five -, 10 -,
20 -year project," he said. "Hope-
fully this will be a continuing
thing, like the San Antonio River
Walk. We're don't hope to be as
big, but that project was started
in the '20s or '30s and they're still
adding on."

Budget tops CS council agenda
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The 1991 -92 budget tops the
agenda at Thursday's regular
meeting of the College Station
City Council.
The $60 million dollar budget
includes three new positions —
two police officers and one clerk
for the fleet services division.
In a separate agenda item, the
council will consider setting the
city's property tax rate at 40 cents
per $100 evaluation, the same as
this year.
Property taxes were expected to
go up this year because of the ap-
proval of $4.5 million in projects
by College Station voters in
December 1990. But city staffers
have constructed a budget that
should pay for the projects with-
out a tax increase. The budget
does include new fees, including a
connection fee for water and elec-
tric services, a fee for dead animal
pickup and a restructured fee
schedule for emergency medical
services and ambulance calls.
The city's sewer rates are ex-
pected to go up 10 percent in the
new budget. Electricity rates will
go down in January, when the city
begins buying power from the
Texas Municipal Power Agency,
but some customers will experi-
ence higher bills beginning in Oc-
tober because of an increase�in
the demand charge.
In other business, the council
%III consider amending the city's
zoning ordinance, creating a new
commercial zoning district C -B,
or business commercial.
The new zone is intended to be
an alternative to general commer-
cial districts and prohibits con-
venience stores and gas stations.
The new district is expected to
be first applied to the University
Drive Corridor, east of Texas
Avenue.
The council meets at 7 p.m. in
the College Station City Hall,
1101 Texas Ave. S.

Kazan officials v B -CS
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
Warmth was the word of the
day Sunday at Easterwood Field
in College Station. Not only did
the temperatures get into the
90s, but the mayors of Bryan
and College Station also im-
plored their citizens to be espe-
cially warm this week in greet-
ing three visitors — Mayor Gen -
nadt Zertsalov, Deputy Mayor
for Cultural Affairs Fail Akhma-
diev and Olga Semenova, a
translator — from the B -CS sis-
ter city of Kazan, USSR.
"We need to make these peo-
ple feel at home," said College
Station Mayor Larry Ringer,
who accompanied the three visi-
tors from Cincinnati, where
they attended a Sister City con-
ference.
Bryan Mayor Marvin Tate
spoke the language that every-
one in Aggieland will under-
stand.
"Give them a big howdy and
welcome them," Tate said.

From 1 A
ter City Association, Michael
Barszap, who also went to Cin-
cinnati, told the group of about 50
people on hand to greet the So-
viets to spread the word.
Make sure they feel at home,'
he said.
And what brings the visitors to
town? Friendship seems to be the
watchword.
"In spite of hardships and the
coup, the will of our people is to
keep good relationships [with the
United States]," said Mayor Zert-
salav through the interpreter.
"We are ready to contribute."
Deputy Mayor Akhmadiev sent
greetings from 7 million Tatars,
an ethnic minority in the Soviet
Union. A sizable portion of the
population in Kazan is Tatar.
Kazan, which is in the Russian
Republic, has avoided the ethnic
unrest plaguing other parts of the
country, Akhmadiev said.
"The first thing I noticed when
came I here [the United States]
was that all nationalities are liv-
ing in friendship," he said
through the interpreter.
Akhmadiev said he had man
questions to ask the people
country.
"I am in charge of religion so I
have many questions on how
those problems are handled
here," he said. "I am also a
sportsman so I want to see how
you organize your sports."
Akhmadiev is a professor of ap-
plied mathematics in Kazan and
said he would be interested in see-
ing the workings of the local edu-
cation system.
I want to get acquainted with
as many sides of life as possible,"
he said.
The Soviets will be doing "every-
thing imaginable" this week,
Barszap said.
"They'll be staying with families,
getting the feel of daily life," he
said. , There won't be too much of
a formal schedule."
The group will visit schools,
businesses and social groups dur-
ing the week, Barszap said. The
Soviets are also interested in vol-
unteer groups since there are
none in the U.S.S.R., he said.
"And, of course, reception after
reception after reception," Bars -
zap said with a smile.
The Soviets' main concern may
be local government. They are
scheduled to tour the Bryan Mun-
icipal Building on Tuesday, and
Bryan City Manager Ernie Clark
visited Kazan during the summer
to help the city better c a n
the everyday working city
a democratic system.
"They are very interested in how
local government works," Barszap
said. "Hopefully, we can help
them. We talked a lot about that
in Cincinnati."
The Soviets are scheduled to be
in the area until Friday.

Brazos Food Bank director Josie Peacher accepts keys to a new van Monday
• morning from College Station Mayor Larry Ringer. The city bought the van for
the food bank with $14,350 in Community Development Block grant funds.
Grant funds come from the federal government and are distributed through the
city to public service agencies. Peacher will use the van to pick up food dona-
tions that are later delivered to 18 local food pantries and food distribution sites.
Peacher's first stops Monday were A &M Consolidated High School and Bryan
High School. The two schools raised about $2,000 and collected about 2,000

B -CS will host Firefighter Olympics
•
By Teri Walley
Eagle business editor
Bryan- College Station will play
host to the Texas Firefighter
Olympics in July 1993, according
to officials from the Bryan and
College Station fire departments.
The citywide event is expected
to draw from 2,500 to 3,000 peo-
ple to the area for five days and to
pump $1.91 million into the
economy, according to Dick
Forester, director of the Conven-
tion and Visitor Bureau at the
Bryan- College Station Chamber
of Commerce.
The sum is derived by multiply-
ing $85 times the number of peo-
ple attending times the number of
days times 1.5.
Bryan - College Station beat San
Antonio, the second - highest con-
tender, for the event, Forester
said. Part of the attraction for
Olympic Board of Directors was
the number of facilities the two
cities will be able to use free of
charge.
Both Texas A &M University and
the two city parks departments
have donated their facilities for
use.
Firefighting teams from across
Texas will challenge each other in
activities ranging from football to
washer - tossing, bike - racing and
table tennis.

According to Jim Connor of the
College Station fire department,
the Olympics are 10 years old and
Bryan and College Station usually
have competitors in many events. .
Last year, the two cities fielded 11
competitors and returned with
seven medals.
In the 1993 competition, Bryan-
College Station will field competi-
tors in everything from weight-
lifting and bowling to archery and
running.
The two departments are also
hoping the Olympic committee
will eventually consider Bryan-
College Station as a permanent
site.

Local police are opening a new office in a loca-
tion sure to attract lots of people — Post Oak Mall.
Today is the grand opening of the Brazos Valley
Crime Prevention Information Center. The center
— located near JC Penney — is the work of Brazos
County's five law- enforcement agencies: the Col-

ments, the Sheriffs Department and the Texas
Department of Public Safety.
"We're taking crime prevention into the com-
munity, rather than keeping it in the office," said
College Station officer Craig Anderson. Anderson
and his partner, Byron Tilton, thought of the idea
three weeks ago.
The center features scores of pamphlets cover-
ing topics including rape, robbery and burglary
prevention, home and vehicle security, seat belt
safety, drug abuse prevention, child safety and
others.
Officers will demonstrate such things as the
proper way to secure doors and windows; the

The College Station Fire Department made
several mistakes Tuesday when it answered a
call to a hazardous chemical leak.
Fortunately, it was only a drill, so the worst
result was a lecture from instructors of the
Occupational and Environmental Safety
Training Division of the Texas Engineering Ex-
tension Service.
"This is the place to make mistakes," said
David Giordano, the assistant fire chief in
charge of operations and planning for College
Station.
The drill took place at the TEEX Hazardous
Material Training Field off Dowling Road. At
about 10 a.m., its of the College Station Fire
Department arrived at the field and set up a
command center about 100 feet from where a
tanker truck was leaking an unknown sub-
stance.
Actually the truck was leaking water, but
the firefighters were told to treat it as if it was a
hazardous chemical.
Fighting a hazardous material situation is
much different than fighting a house fire,
Giordano said.
"When you are fighting a structure fire, you
want to be aggressive," he said. "When you are
dealing with a hazmat situation, you have to
go very, very slow."
College Station firefighters trained for other
hazardous material situations in addition to
the tanker truck spill. But in all cases, the first
thing for firefighters to determine is what ma-
terial they are dealing with.
When the College Station crews arrived at
the tanker truck, they got the wind direction
so they would know if the wind was blowing
fumes at t4em. Then, using binoculars, the
firefighters tried to determine the contents of
the truck by reading placards on the side of
the truck.
"The idea is not to do anything until we iden-
tify what is in the vehicle," Giordano said.
"That can be time consuming."
The College Station Fire Department is not
equipped to handle some cbemfcal spurs, such
as ones involving toxbW Umt can be deadly
when absorbed through the skin•
"Also, we don't want to rush into the middle
of a situation where two chemlc ab can react
and we get caught in an explosion." he said.
Even though identifying the chemicals and
then researching the proper methods to
handle them can be time consuming, it is the
most important step, said Byron Witmer, the
hazardous materials coordinator for TEEX.
"These guys aren't chemists," he said. "They
need to know what it is they are fighting."
After about an hour, the firefighters were
able to stop the leak on the truck and the drill
was ended so as not to exhaust a crew that
was still on call.
"We've made enough mistakes for one day,"
said Capt. Tim Fickey. "that's why we train
... so we know how to react in a real situa-
tion."
All of College Station's firefighters will go
through a simulated hazardous material situ-
ation, Giordano said.

CS will turn lot into recycling center
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council on Wed-
nesday took a step toward recycling in con-
junction with Junction Five -O -Five.
The council agreed to a plan to build a drop -
off recycling center in the vacant lot north of
the Cafe Eccell parking lot on Wellborn Road.
The city will foot the bill, but it will be oper-
ated by Junction Five -O -Five, a nonprofit or-
ganization providing job training for people
with disabilities. The organization will provide
a portable building and a baling machine for
the recyclables.
Joe LaBeau, the city's director of public ser-
vices, said the drop -off center in the Northgate
area is important because it is the only area
that will not be a part of the city's curbside re-
cycling effort. City staffers have said the
streets in Northgate are not wide enough for
trucks to get through, since so many cars park
on streets in the area.
The citywide recycling project is expected to
start in February.
The city is building the recycling center to
provide a better environment for the workers
and eliminate an eyesore for passing moto-
rists, who see nothing but stacks of plastic
bags waiting to be shipped to a recycler.
The project is expected to cost about
$55,000.
"I don't see how we can do anything but
build the facility." said Councilman Fred
Brown said. "We'll be having a double impact.
Well help Junction Five -O -Five and the city at
the same time."
Brown also suggested that the city honor
Donnie Anz, who started the recycling center
behind his restaurant and allowed Junction
Five -O -Five to operate it in his parking lot.
Mayor Larry Ringer said building a new re-
cycling center would allow the city to control
the hours of the complex. Now, people can
drop off recyclables 24 hours a day.
Councilman Dick Birdwell suggested that
the project take the place of citywide recycling.
The drop -off center is doing more business
and doing it cheaper, Birdwell said.
The council will meet in a regular session
today at 7 p.m. in the College Station City Hall,
1 101 Texas Ave. S.

B=CS to host Games of Texas in 1 94
By Teri Walley
and Phil Sulak
Eagle staff writers
For the second time in six years, the Games
of Texas will come to Bryan, College Station
and Texas A &M.
The games will bring about 12,000 athletes
and 15,000 spectators to the area in August
1994, according to Cliff Warwick, executive di-
rector of the Texas Amateur Athletic Fed-
eration, which sponsors the Texas Games.
It's "a feather in the cap of the community,"
said Steve Beachy, director of Parks and Rec-
reation for the city of College Station.
The 10 -day series of events could bring an
estimated $34.425 million into the communi-
ty, according to the Bryan- College Station
Chamber of Commerce.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to
show off our community," said Maria Polltes,
the chamber vice president in charge of the
Convention and Visitor Bureau. "And we will
benefit from the tremendous economic impact
on the community. We scratch each other's
backs."
Game officials will need thousands of vol-
unteers to help with the event and are already
looking for local sponsors. Few facility im-
provements in Bryan- College Station will be
needed for the 1994 games, according to Bea-
chy.
This area is the first to hold the Texas
Games twice. Bryan- College Station hosted
the games in 1988.
The games will .include competition in 34
sports, said Cliff Warwick, the executive direc-
tor of the Texas Amateur Athletic Association,
including cycling, canoeing, softball, horse-
shoes, swimming, bowling, soccer and track
and field.
The games are returning to Bryan- College
Station because of the way they were received
in the area the first time, Warwick said. Thel
area stands alone in its community in
volvement with the games, he said.

CS police chief wants
curfew for city parks
•
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station Parks and
Recreation Board is recommend-
ing that the city's neighborhood
parks be closed two hours earlier.
The recommendation came
after College Station Police Chief
Michael Strope told the board
about reported problems in the
parks involving drug use, de-
struction of public property and
alcohol use by minors.
"We've had a significant num-
ber of calls concerning noise and
suspicious activity, including
drug use," Strope said. "We even
had a drive -bv shooting in Wayne
Smith Park."
Six people were wounded in the

July 20 shooting.
Some of the people in the Smith
Park area, near Lincoln Center in
College Station, are concerned
about problems at the park,
Strope said.
"We hope to decrease that fear,"
Strope said.
Bryson, Gabbard, Richard Car-
ter and Bee Creek parks are also
trouble spots, Strope said.
Strope said he has been work-
ing with Steve Beachy, the direc-
tor of College Station Parks and
Recreation Department, on an or-
dinance that would close the
city's neighborhood parks be-
tween 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The parks are now closed be-

From 1 A
tween 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.
Sharon Colson, chairwoman of
the parks board, said the board
wants to close the parks earlier
because "people deserve some
privacy in their own neighbor-
hoods."
The hours in the city's commu-
nity parks — Central, Thomas,
Bee Creek and Southwood —
would not be changed.
"The parks where there are reg-
ularly scheduled events, with
people staying later, won't have
their hours changed," Colson
said.
The board is mainly concerned
with vandalism in the parks, Col-
son said, but Strope thinks bigger
problems exist.
Monday's series of drug arrests
stemmed from activity in Wayne
Smith Park, Strope said.
The new hours will not be a
cure -all for the city's drug prob-
lems, Strope said, but it will give
the police another tool to fight
crime.
"It's a statement that we won't
tolerate that activity," Strope
said. "What will probably happen
is that the drug activity will move
into the houses near the [Smith]
park, into Southgate Village or
into the businesses along Well-
born."
Strope said that the new rule
should make people feel safer in
their parks.
"We'll have more authority ...
more legitimacy," Strope said.
"We'll start with Just warnings,
but if push comes to shove we'll
issue citations and make arrests."
Strope said he hopes the Col-
lege Station City Council will con-
sider the change in hours at its
next meeting, Oct. 10, and that
the ordinance can be in place
within 60 days after that.

went to Boston to pick it up, the
real credit goes to the city em-
ployees," Ragland said. "They
have exercised commitment to
service excellence. Those 50,000
'moments of truth' every day are
what lead to service excellence."
College Station representatives
have made presentations to other
Texas cities and have provided
three hospitality trainers for the
Bryan - College Station Chamber
of Commerce. Ragland said
several cities in other states have
called to find out more about the
program.
The award shatters the myth
that only big actions can make a
difference, Ragland said.
The ICMA award is one of a
number of awards the city has
received this year. Others include
an Environmental Protection
Agency award for its water sup-
ply; the Distinguished Budget
Presentation award from the
Government Finance Officer's As-
sociation; and a professional de-
velopment award from the Texas
Society of professional Engineers.

Do the employees of the city of
Collegg Station seem a little more
friendly or helpful than those of
your run -of- the -mill city?
The International City Man
agement Association thinks so.
College Station beat out 75
other cities for the ICMA's Award
for Program Excellence in the Cit-
izen as Customer Division. The
award was announced on Wed-
nesday.
The Citizen as Customer Award
recognizes programs that have
helped managers and employees
develop better customer relations
skills and attitudes, including
handling problems and com-
plaints, creating procedures and
policies, and managing customer
service performance.
City Manager Ron Ragland, who
began the customer - service train-
ing program in 1988, said many
people are responsible for the
award.

Northgate merchants seek parking solution
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council on Wed-
nesday took no action on solving the perennial
parking problems in Northgate.
But the meeting still was put to use as mer-
chants from along University Drive voiced
their opinions on ways to work together and
solve problems caused by a lack of parking
spaces.
The bone of contention before the meeting
started was the parking lot directly behind the
Dixie Chicken bar. Don Ganter, owner of the
Chicken, and Richard Benning, the owner of
Duddley's Draw, a bar next door, rent the lot
from the city for $ 1,000 a month.
Ganter said he pays someone to sit on the
Chickens porch eight hours a day to call a tow
truck when someone parks in the lot and does
not go to either of the two bars.
Ganter said he used to attach notes to wind-
shields, but that that didn't work. He then
went to big signs warning people that they
would be towed if they parked in the lot but
didn't go to Duddley's or the Chicken. When
that also failed, he began towing.
Other Northgate -area merchants did not
dispute Gainer's right to police the lot, but
they did oppose the method he was using.
Why not have that employee tell the people
to move, instead of towing them? asked Pierre
Dube, the manager of Freebird's World Bur-
rito. That would put an end to the "bad will"
being caused, he said.
Jim McGuire, owner of the CowHop restau-
rant, said he believed everybody would benefit
if the merchants in Northgate got along.
John Raney, owner of the Texas Aggie Book-
store, said he was the president of the last
Northgate merchant's association, but that
the association died from lack of interest.
"It seems no one cares until there is a big
problem," he said.
Still, Ganter asked the council members
whether the merchants could try to work out a
solution.
"This council is never adverse to people
working out their problems and then bringing
us the solution," Mayor Larry Ringer said.
The council meets again today at 7 p.m. at
College Station City Hall, 110 1 Texas Ave. S.

CS ordinances target beggars, drugs
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
The College Station City Council on Thursday
passed ordinances aimed at cutting out drug traf-
ficking in neighborhood parks and curbing "aggres-
sive begging" in neighborhoods.
One ordinance will close some College Station
parks two hours earlier. Police officials said there are
many complaints of noise and suspicious activity in
the city's parks, particularly Wayne Smith Park.
Police officials have said the park is used for drug
trafficking.
The city's neighborhood parks will be closed be-
tween 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. The parks had been open
until 1 a.m. The change will take effect as soon as
the parks department can change the time on the
signs.
The council also passed an ordinance making it il-
legal to beg aggressively in the city.
College Station Police Major Edgar Feldman told
council members the ordinance makes it easier for
people to file trespassing complaints by making it il-
legal for someone keep asking for money after a
homeowner has said no. If the person persists, the
homeowner can call the police.
The council approved two permits allowing prop-
erty owners to keep livestock in the city limits.
One was for a woman who has kept a pet goat in
her back yard for 12 years, but didn't know until re-
cently that she needed a permit.
The other was for a woman keeping a horse, a
pony, seven goats, four dogs, 10 chickens, two geese
and a duck in a rural part of College Station.

Brazos Valley gets a little culture at Folk Fest
By Chuck Squairiglia
Eagle staff writer
Dozens of artists and performers from throughout
central Texas are on hand this weekend at the 9th
Annual Brazos Folk Fest in College Station Central
Park.
The festival, which concludes today, promotes
Brazos Valley arts and culture, said Sheila Walker,
program director for the annual event.
"But it's also a good, wholesome event for the
whole family," she said.
So far the four -day festival has featured perfor-
mances by local gospel choirs, Joe Orsak and The
Special F/X and dozens of other bands, dance
troupes, cheerleaders and drill teams.
Today is "Fiesta Day" and Walker anticipates a
busy day as more than 6,000 people are expected to
attend.
Performances by The Brotherhood Band, the
Houston Ballet Folklorico and the Ballet Folklorico
Maya will highlight today's entertainment. Shows
start. at 2 p.m. in the main tent .
f'he festival also features dozeitz, of arts and crafts
booths, with local artisans selling their wares. One
such artist is "Big Dave" Fare, an airbrush artist
from Caldwell.
Big Dave will paint any design on most any surface
and could be seen painting a mural on the tailgate of
a pickup truck Saturday.
"My motto is, 'If it doesn't move, paint it, "' lie said.
Big Dave said he has always been interested in art
and began airbrushing five years ago after seeing an
airbrush artist in a local mail. He said he decided to
give it a try when he found out it would cost $50 to
have the design he wanted painted oil a T- shirt.
" 1 said, '50 bucks ?' and he looked at me and said,
'Why don't you make it yourself then?' So I did," Big
Dave said.
Prices for Big Dave's wares range from $12 for a
T -shirt to S600 for a custom made business sign.
Like other artists at the festival, Big Dave travels
around the Brazos Valley, selling his art at county'
fairs and other festivals. He also has a studio in
Bryan.
For the kids, the festival also features games, go-
carts, face painting and a petting zoo.
Admission is $2 per person are 85 per famil
Parking is free and food and drink are sold at the fes-
tival. The park is at 1000 Krenek Tap Road.

Crossing guard appreciated
•
This is a letter of thanks to the College
Station City Council and to Officer Greg
Lewis for finding the funds to obtain two
crossing guards for College Hills Elemen-
tary School. For countless years, the
children of this area have had to contend
with speeding motorists who do not pay
attention to them as they attempt to
cross the street. Now the parents in the
College Hills area can safely let their chil-
dren walk or ride their bikes to school
without fear of their being run down by
cars.
A special thank you goes to Terry Skra-
banek. For two years, she has been plac-
ing calls and writing letters to bring this
problem to the attention of public offi-
cials. Without her, there would be no
crossing guards.

CS police begin bicycle patrols
By Chuck Squatrigiia
Eagle staff writer
College Station's newest weapon in the war on
crime is not some new high -tech gizmo that requires
huge amounts of funding and hours and hours of
training. No, this new weapon is something you
probably have in your garage:
A bicycle.
The College Station Police Department on Satur-
day started its bicycle patrol during the Texas A &M
and University of Houston football game. Senior
Officer Rod Carroll said the first day was "very suc-
cessful."
"It went real well," he said. "We made a lot of con-
tacts [with residents of the area] but we didn't make
any arrests."
He and officer Tim Parker did, however, issue 20
parking tickets and investigate one traffic accident.
Parker said he got the idea for a bicycle patrol after
seeing similar programs in Bryan, San Antonio and
1 Seattle.
"We knew we had a problem in the high -crime
areas and we knew other departments had used
bikes successfully, so we decided to try it."
Since starting their program last February, Bryan
police have made scores of arrests for crimes rang-
ing from possession of drug paraphernalia to driving
while intoxicated.
Being on a bicycle gives an officer the best of two
worlds, Carroll said. Riding a bicycle is as quiet as
being on foot, allowing police to sneak up on crimi-
nals, but also allows for the mobility of being in a pa-
trol car. The bikes can also go places that a car could
not, such as down a narrow alley or through heavily-
congested traffic.
The department may find the bicycles also are an
excellent public - relations tool as well. Bryan police
have praised their bike patrols because bikes allow
officers to stop and talk to people more easily than if
they were in a car.
Carroll agreed, saying that residents of Southgate
Village Apartments, 134 Luther St., seemed to like
the idea of officers on bicycles.
The two officers will patrol the area bordered by
Holleman and George Bush drives, Wellborn Road
and Texas Avenue on 21 -speed mountain bikes for
each of the remaining Aggie home football games.
Police officials chose the area because it is a high -
crime area "due to the influx of vehicles and people
during home football games." Carroll and Parker will
concentrate on burglary prevention and drug- and
alcohol- related crimes, but will also investigate
other crimes as well, police said.
If the program is successful, additional officers
and hours will be added to the program, Carroll said.
Perhaps the best part of the program is that it is
free. B -CS Bicycle Shop donated the two bicycles
and necessary equipment to the department, Carroll
said.

Council hears horror story
All bids for Wolf Pen Creek Project
come in over $1.25 million budget
■ Reject all bids, redesign the project and rebid.
■Rebid the basic project design with several key
items deleted.
■Postpone the project indefinitely.
If the council decides to approve extra funds, con-
struction can begin within 30 days, but the city will
have to find the money.
If council members decide to redesign the project
to meet the budget, work could begin quickly, but
the project would have to be substantially altered
and the city would have to pay almost $40,000 for
the redesign.
If the council rejects all bids and redesigns, the
city should get a better price and probably wouldn't
need additional construction funds, but would have
to pay for the redesign and delay the project as much
as three months.
If the council decides to rebid the project after
deleting several items, the city could maintain the
"character" of the project and might save money,
but wouldn't see new bids until December and
would need additional funds for the redesign.
If the city delays the project it will lose $600,000 in
grants, but the project could be completed as de-
signed once the city arranged more solid funding.
The council will meet at 4 p.m. in the College Sta-
tion City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S.

Just in time for Halloween, the College Station
City Council will hear a horror story on Thursday.
The council will have to decide what to do about
the long - awaited Wolf Pen Creek Corridor project,
designed to be the focal point of the community and
include an amphitheater, lakes and walkways. The
bids on the project all came in over budget.
The city has $1.25 million available for the project,
including funds from the city, the Nina Heard Astin
Trust and the Texas Department of Parks and Wild-
life. But the lowest bid came in $260,000 too high.
City representatives met with the low bidder, Con-
struction Resources Group of College Station, but
could not reach an agreement on the costs without
substantial changes in the design.
The staff will offer the council five choices:
■Accept the low bid and allocate additional funds.
■ Negotiate with the low bidder and bring the cost
within budget.

CS ups spending on Wolf Pen
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
After debating for about an
hour on Thursday, the College
Station City Council decided to
work with Construction Resour-
ces Group of College Station, the
low bidder on the contract for the
Wolf Pen Creek Park project, even
though the company's bid was
more than the council had origin-
ally planned to spend.
On a 4 -3 vote, council members
decided that the way to proceed
on the project, already a year be-
hind the original schedule, was to
come up with more money and
delete small parts of the design.
The first phase of the Wolf Pen
Creek project will be constructed
at the corner of Dartmouth and
Holleman streets, near Post Oak
Mall, and will include a lake and a
6,000 -seat amphitheater.
The council members set the
new spending limit at $1.4 mil-
lion. The city has $1.25 million
budgeted and will have to find an
extra $150,000.
The three council members who
voted against the motion = Lynn
McIlhaney, Fred Brown and Ver-
non Schneider — wanted to rebid
the project.
"We don't want to eliminate
anything," McIlhaney said. "We've
waited this long; waiting 30 to 45

he first to make a motion, sug-
;esting that the city come up with
the S 1.5 million for the low bid.
Councilwoman Nancy Crouch
seconded.
Birdwell suggested an amend-
ment that the city would go up to
$1.4 million, and proposed some
deletions that he said wouldn't
hurt the integrity of the project.
Friday, November 1, 1991

more days for new bids won't hurt
anything."
But Councilman Dick Birdwell
said rebidding was a waste of time
unless there was evidence the
bids would come in lower or the
city was willing to change the
project.
Brown said the city was a victim
of bad timing.
"A lot of companies weren't in-
terested in the project because
they were busy with all the
grocery stores being built in the
area," he said. "I believe we'll get
more than four bidders."
Councilman Jim Gardner was
Please see Contract, 5A
Birdwell suggested that the
paths around the lake be nar-
ro `-ved from 10 to 8 feet and that
stucco be used in the amphith-
eater instead of cedar.
In the end, Mayor Larry Ringer,
saying he had changed his mind,
voted to work with the original low
bidder.
"I want to see this thing built
before I die," he said.
City staff members, the design
firm and the construction com-
pany will try to find a plan every-
one can agree on.
The council asked that the new
plan be presented on Nov. 20.

CS may have
way to fund
Wolf Pen park
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
you can't keep a good project
down. At least not in College Sta-
tion.
City staffers, working with
architects, engineers and land-
scape designers, think they have
figured out a way to build the first
phase of the Wolf Pen Creek Park.
For only $1.4 million.
The idea for a Wolf Pen Creek
Corridor has been around since
1987, when the College Station
City Council and the Parks and
Recreation Board heard a propo-
sal to make the planned Bren-
twood Park something special.
The master plan was finished
by J.T. Dunkin and Associates 01
Dallas in 1988. The city has been
trying since to acquire land, get
the correct permits and find the
money for the project.
The first phase of the park will
provide a series of lakes and an
amphitheater near the intersec-
tion of Holleman Drive and Dart-
mouth Street.
When the design for the first
two phases of the park was pre-
sented in June 1990, the esti-
mated cost of the project was $3.2
million. With $1.25 million in the
kitty for the project, the council
decided to put the rest of the
money on the December 1990
bond election, which was soundly
defeated.
The council then decided to cut
back on the project, using only
the $1.25 million (including
$100,000 from the Astin Trust),
$500,000 from the state Depart-
ment of Parks and Wildlife and
the rest in city funds.
The bad news came in October,
when the bids for the project were
opened. The low bidder, Con-
struction Resources Group of Col-
lege Station, came in about
$250,000 over the budget.
Some council members wanted
to rebid the project but others,
saying there was no proof that the
bids would be any lower, wanted
to make small changes in the
project and add a little more
money. They set a limit of $1.4
million.
The latter group won, 4 -3, and
Steve Beachy, director of College
Station's parks department, set to
work making changes.
"The question was never
whether we would build it, but

Members of the College Station
City Council may be up the creek
at Wednesday's meeting, but
that's where they've been trying to
get for a number ofyears.
Steve Beachy, the director of
College Station's parks and recre-
ation department, win present the
council with a plan to build the
first phase of the Wolf Pen Creek
Park. The entire project is de-
signed to stretch along Wolf Pen
Creek from Texas Avenue to the

corner of Holleman Drive and
Dartmouth Street and will in-
clude a series of lakes and a
6.000 -seat outdoor amphitheater.
The council had originally
budgeted $1.25 million for Phase l
but the low bidder for the project,
Construction Resource Group of
College Station, came In at $1.5
million.
At its Oct. 31 meeting, the
council decided to find ways to
build the project for less money,
but to keep the integrity of the
project intact. The council set the
new limit at $1.4 million, with the
new money to come from some

College Station police dept.
now 11th accredited in state
0
By Kelly Brown
Eagle staff writer
College Station police administrator
Corkey Sandel recently has been giving so-
licited advice on policy - making to depart-
ments across the country, including some
in metropolitian cities.
The reason small and large agencies
alike are turning to the mid -sized College
Station Police Department is that it dust
became the 11 th city in Texas — and the
195th nationally — to receive accreditation
from the Commission on Accreditation for
Law Enforcement Agencies.
Three administrators from the police de-
partment, including Chief Michael Strope
and Sandel, and three city officials, includ-
ing the mayor and city manager, attended
the official awarding of accreditation last
weekend by the commission in Savannah,
Ga.
The commission, made up of patrol offi-
cers, sheriffs deputies and other law agen-
cies, has become nationally recognized
over the past 12 years as selecting only the
"cream of the crop" for admission by re-
quiring compliance with more than 924
law enforcement standards geared toward
the customer service aspect of police work.
More than 5,000 agencies worldwide are
eligible to apply, but few actually succeed
Wednesday, November 20, 1991

in a process that often takes years. For Col-
lege Station, the only accredited agency in
Brazos County, it's taken nearly five years.
"This isn't the kind of deal where once we
get it, we'll hang a plaque on the wall and
forget about all the things we worked so
hard to attain," said Sandel, the depart-
ment's accreditation manager. "We will
continue to strive to meet and exceed the
standards. It takes time and commitment,
but we want to be in that professional sta-
tus because for too long we were in a voca-
tional status."
Departments must renew accreditation
every five years through the same process.
The admissions process costs about
$11,000.
The cost and the hard work will not only
keep the department in "excellent shape,"
but will benefit the community as well,
Strope said.
The department will receive at least
$8,000 annually in reduced liability insur-
ance costs and is now eligible for selective
governmental grants.
Recruitment also is blossoming, as
shown recently when 450 people applied
for an entry-level patrol position. Three
years ago, when accreditation still was far
off, the department averaged 70 applicants
for that position, Strope said.

Wolf Pen Creek project could start Dec. 1
ment.
"If everything works out with the con-
tracts, construction might begin as early
as Dec. 1," Beachy said.
A park in the Wolf Pen Creek area, near
the corner of Holleman Drive and Dart-
mouth Street, has been in the discussion
stage since 1987. Plans were finalized in
1990 for a park, including a series of
lakes and a 6,000 -seat outdoor amphith-
eater.
Most of the funding for the project will
come from the city of College Station, but
the city has received $500,000 from the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and
$100,000 from the Astin Trust.
The master plan for Wolf Pen Creek
calls for future phases that should
stretch a green belt from Texas Avenue to
the East Bypass.
The city hopes to have the amphith-
eater ready for use late in the summer of
1992.
In other action, the council took the
first step in a new garbage collection plan

Commissioners a lines mend precinct
By Jim Hiney
Eagle stall writer
County commissioners on Monday amended re-
cently adopted commissioner and ,justice of the
peace precinct lines to conform with congressional
and legislative district lines.
Commissioners tabled action on establishing vot-
ing precinct lines pending further study on how the
lines will affect Bryan and College Station.
Bryan and College Station city limits were used to
form part of the boundaries for commissioner and
JP precincts. Congressional and legislative. district
lines varied a little from the city limit lines.
Commissioners ,Wade small changes to commis-
sioner and JP precinct lines so those precincts will
conform with the state and federal lines. The change
simplify
g comm commissioner nd JP precinct l l li ines didn't affect
any residents.
The fact that congressional and legislative district
lines don't match city limit lines may affect Brya
and College Station city elections.
Federal election law mandates that voting precinct
lines be drawn so that voting precincts aren't split
between more than one representative or senator.
Commissioners were forced to redraw the county's
voting precincts after state legislators redistricted
Brazos County, increasing the number of rep-
resentatives for the area.
Some of the proposed voting precincts contain
Parts of Bryan and College Station. Commissioners
were concern that the overlaps would cause prob-
lems for voting officials during city elections, which
both cities hold simultaneously.
The county had 40 voting precincts before the Leg-
islature adopted its redistricting plan, but that
number increased to 75 because of the federal elec-
tion law.

Banks steps down from CS mull
By Anton Hiecher
Eagle staff writer
Judge Phillip C. Banks an -
nounced Tuesday that he will step
down on Jan. 1 after six years on
the College Sta-
tion municipal
court bench to
return to full -
time law prac- ,
tice.
Banks said NZ
he would meet
With the city "
Council Tues-
day and rec- BANKS
ommend that assistant municipal
court judge Steve Smith be pro -
mbted to the vacant chief judge
slot. He said he will also recom-
mend that the chief municipal
Judge be made a full-time position
to insure the court's continued
independence.
"In College Station, we have a
wonderful tradition of the court
not being just a cash cow or a
source of revenue," Banks said.
"Justice ought to drive the train,
not cash."
Banks had earlier notified the
council that he would not seek re-
appointment to the bench when
his third term ended in May 1992.
Banks plans to join attorney Tyler
Moore in a Bryan -based practice.
Municipal courts handle traffic
tickets, parking tickets, violations
of city ordinances and mis-
ii
c al court
rt
demeanor violations of the penal
code.
Banks, 41, a graduate of Texas
A &M University and St. Mary's
University School of Law in S
Antonio, has practiced law in the
Bryan- College Station area since
1982. He became assistant to
former municipal court judge
Claude Davis in April 1984.
In September 1985, Banks re-
placed Davis, who became a
county court -at -law judge.
Banks was elected this year to a
third term on the board of direc-
tors of the Texas Municipal
Courts Association. He also was
reappointed director of the asso-
ciation's Training Center Board.
College Station will play host in
February 1992 to the associa-
tion's first local seminar to train
municipal court officials.
He also takes credit for helping
institute an alcohol education
awareness program for minors ar-
rested in possession of alcohol in
College Station.
Banks established the April
tradition of a one -day open -air
court held at the Central Park p
vilion to give judge and attorneys
a chance to enjoy the pleasant
spring weather.

CS police chief resigns post
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
When Mike Strope accepted the job of College Sta-
tion police chief, he told city officials he would stay
only five years.
On Monday, he said he plans to keep that promise:
He has resigned his position effective July 31. He will
have been with the city five years on July 20.
Strope, 43, said he gave almost eight months no-
tice "to give the city time for an orderly replacement
process."
He came to College Station in 1987 after being
chief for three years in Stillwater, Okla.
Strope said he was initially frustrated in his job as
he tried to implement organizational reforms with
limited funds. But he said he also was able to
achieve what was probably the biggest accomplish-
ment of his career — getting the College Station
Police Department nationally accredited.
Strope's departure from College Station will also
be a departure from law enforcement. He said he be-
lieves there are mountains to climb outside of public
service.
"I might try teaching or consulting," he said. "And
I have some property to manage in Missouri.
"There's more to life than being a police officer. For
23 years this has been my line of work. I want to
spend the second half of my life on other chal-
lenges."
Strope said he taught criminal justice in two small
colleges in his native Missouri and hopes to return
to that field.
"I like the idea of teaching the new professionals
that are coming into this field," Strope said.

Brazos vote counting system under study
The Secretary of State's Office
decertified the current system
By Jim Hiney
Eagle staff writer
Members of the Brazos County Elections Commit-
tee on Friday looked at a possible replacement for
the county's vote counting system, which has been
decertified by the Texas Secretary of State's Office.
Committee members made up about two -thirds of
a group that saw a demonstration of an optical
scanning system, called Optech, that uses paper
ballots. The Texas Secretary of State's office decerti-
fied the county's punch card system because it
didn't provide an audit trail and because of its age.
An audit trail is a means by which offlcials can de-
termine what happens during vote counting proce-
dures on election night. The county has used punch
cards for about 20 years and the voting equipment
now in use is about 10 years old, said County Judge
R.J. "Dick" Holmgreen.
Optech, manufactured by Dallas -based Business
Records Corp., is the third voting system viewed by
the committee. It works on the same principle as
scanners at grocery store checkout stands, said
Larry Solansky, a Business Records Corp. rep-
resentative.
Infrared beams scan the paper ballots like store
scanners scan the bar codes on products, he said.
Among the system's advantages, Optech reads
400 ballots per minute and can read different sized
ballots, and ballots don't have to be aligned the same
way before entering the machine, said Bonnie Cuel-
lar, another Business Records Corp. representative.
Cuellar said she believes the county needs two
vote counting machines to handle elections, and
recommended a $100,000 system she said would
meet the county's election needs for the next 10
years.
Business Records Corp. makes a similar system
that counts 200 ballots per minute, Cuellar said,
and would cost about $70,000.
Holmgreen, a member of the 10- person elections
committee, said he was impressed by the system but
Is hesitant to spend the money.
He said he also is concerned that changing to
paper ballots would confuse voters who have grown
accustomed to punch cards.
The Secretary of State's Office didn't decertify all
punch card systems. Brazos County could resume
using a punch card system as long as officials pur-
chase a new counting system, Holmgreen said.
Officials have received preliminary price quota-
tions of $15,000 to $20,000 for a new punch card
counting system, he said.
"If that lasts us for four years, that's about $5,000
per year," he said.
The optical scanning systems from Business Re-
cords Corp. would cost $7,000 - $10,000 per year,
Holmgreen said.
Both county political party chairmen are also on
the elections committee. Rodger Lewis, county Re-
publican Party chairman, said he likes the optical
scanning system.
Regardless of what system the county buys, Lewis
said he hopes commissioners consider more than
the bottom line.
"I hope we take an option that will last for perhaps
a decade instead of something that's a quick fix," he
said. Bill McGuire, county Democratic Party chair-
man, said he also was concerned about switching
from punch cards and about the optical scanning
system's cost.
"We're living in hard times," he said. "Every time
the county has to spend more money, it comes out of
taxpayers' pockets."
The elections committee includes representatives
from Brazos County, the cities of Bryan and College
Station, both political parties and the League of
Women Voters.
Committee members are scheduled to meet next
week to discuss anew voting system before making
their recommendation to county commissioners.
Commissioners must have an acceptable system in
place before the March primaries.

CS will lose
power during
a.m. switch
By Phillip Sulak
Eagle staff writer
College Station residents afraid
of losing their ,jobs if they are late
one more time might want to
scour the stores for an old -
fashioned wind up clock.
The city of College Station will
lose electric power temporarily on
Monday morning, when the city
switches power suppliers -
The city is now buying from
-Gulf States Utilities, but on Mon-
day the city will switch to the
member cities of the Texas Muni-
cipal Power Agency — Bryan,
Greenville, Garland and Denton.
To safely make the transfer, the
city has to cut power from GSU
before it switches on the power
from the four cities.
The northern part of College
Station will lose power at about 2
a.m. and the southern part will go
dark at about 2:45 a.m. Power is
not expected to be off for very long
in either instance.
The city is contacting all con-
cerned parties, including build-
ings with elevators, businesses
open 24 hours and companies
that might suffer computer dam-
age due to the loss of power.
College Station citizens should
receive a 4 percent rate decrease
due to the switch. The decrease is
expected to take effect in Febru-
ary.
