Eagle photo/ Peter Rocha The Christmas tree mulch will be composted and then used at parks In Bryan and College Station. Officials said approximately 15,000 trees were expected to be dropped off Saturday and Sunday for recy- cling at the two locations. People bringing in Christmas trees for re- cycling were given a sapling they could take home and plant. Traffic to be slowed in CS Traffic hassles are expected in College Station early this week as improve- ments are being made to traffic signals. The intersections of FM 2818 at Longmire, Southwood, Rio Grande and Welsh; Southwest Parkway from Ander- son to Wellborn Road; and University at Texas, all will receive new controllers, timing programs and phasing patterns as a part of a traffic signal grant received in early 1991. The signals will be worked on today, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mark Schoenemann, traffic systems supervisor for College Station, said work will be coordinated to minimize traffic interruptions and police will be at each intersection. The improvements will help to reduce fuel consumption and traffic delays as well as offer new features such as a protected left turn signal. For information, call Schoenemann at 764 -3450.

Today's meeting will consist mainly of an executive session in which the coun- cil will discuss negotiations with TCA CAble and appointing an alternate mun- icipal court judge. The cities of Bryan and College Sta- tion are reviewing the cable contract with TCA, which expires in 1994. The agenda states that the council will consider litigation against TCA, but city officials said legal action isn't likely. Thursday's council agenda includes approving a proclamation honoring the A &M Consolidated High School state champion football team. Thursday's consent agenda includes a tax abatement agreement for C.C. Crea- tions. If approved, the company will receive a 100 percent abatement from city property taxes on a planned expan- sion on Holleman Drive. If the company fails to hire 40 addi- tional people the first year, the city will tax the full amount.

About 40 members of the Class 4 -A state football champion A&M Consoli- dated Tigers showed up with Coach Ross Rogers to receive a resolution from Mayor Larry Ringer honoring the team for its 1991 season. Ringer and the council thanked the team "for the excitement and recogni- tion" they brought the community, and honored "their tremendous spirit and achievements." Rogers thanked the council and said the team was proud to be from College Station. With that, he showed that he is as good a judge of situations off the field as on. He herded his troops out the door and missed deliberations on plats and overlay districts. Friday, January 10, 1992 The Eagle L: By KARA BOUNDS Eagle staff writer Hoping to put the brakes on au- tomobile fatalities, other states are hitching a ride on a traffic ac- cident management system de- veloped locally by the Texas Transportation Institute. The Traffic Services Micro- computer System — TRASER — is already available in certain areas of New York and will soon be implemented statewide in Mi- chigan, said Sandra Parsons, a research associate in TTI's safety division. She said TTI will begin converting the program in Febru- ary from a Texas format to a Mi- chigan format. TRASER is a computer pro- gram that provides such informa- tion as the number and kinds of traffic accidents, citations and arrests at a specific location. It consists of five computer disk- ettes that can be loaded into most standard IBM - compatible com- puters. The Bryan and College Station police departments were among the first to begin using the pro- gram when it was offered in 1987. The information provided by TRASER is directly responsible for the decrease in major acci- dents in College Station from 1990 to 1991, said Sgt. Greg Lewis, traf- fic division supervisor for the College Station Police Depart- ment. The department set up seat -belt checks at sites that TRASER deemed high- accident locations. 'Although the number of minor accidents from January to November of 1990 as compared with January to November of 1991 rose 21.29 percent, the number of major accidents dropped 13.95 percent, he said. The number of traffic accidents in Bryan rose 23 percent from 1990 to 1991, said Jaynes Barnett, sergeant of auxiliary services for the Bryan Police Department, but the number in locations de- termined by TRASER to be high - prone to accidents declined. He credited TRASER for pointing out specific sites, which enabled his department to patrol more effi- ciently. To use TRASER, clerks at each police department enter informa- tion into the computer from police report forms, Parsons said. The data is immediately available. to the departments, enabling them to determine quickly the specific locations of frequent ac- cidents and traffic violations. Among the information TRASER can provide police de- partments is: ■A list of intersections at which the most accidents have occurred; ■A description of the type of collisions at a certain intersec- tion; ■A list of all the accidents on a particular street; and ■The number of citations at a precise location. The TRASER program origin- ated five years ago from a con- tract between TTI and the Texas Department of Transportation, Parsons said. At that time, small police departments depended on large cities and on state agencies for local accident information. Police departments needed to get local traffic information more quickly in order to do a more effective job of traffic enforce- ment, she said. Parsons said that in many cases, the information obtained through TRASER simply verifies what the officers already susp ( - ed. "They have information they've never had before, and in many cases, it supports their ex- perience," she said. In College Station, TRASER has supported the theory that many of the city's traffic accidents are caused more by road engineering problems than by traffic viola- tions, Lewis said. Barnett said the same is true in Bryan and that the program has helped identify and subsequently correct these engi- neering prohlems. Most traffic accidents Locations in Bryan - Collage Parsons said police depart- ments can use TRASER to get specific types of information for Please see TRASER,page A8 Sources: Bryan and College Station Police Departments TRASER From Al local needs. Departments in Cor- pus Christi and Galveston, for ex- ample, use the program to aid in handling accidents on their bea- ches, she said. And the number of arrests for driving while intoxi- cated in San Antonio increased by more than 500 from 1989 to 1990 through use of the program. Fort Worth, on the other hand, has used the program to de- termine the most frequent loca- tions and causes of its high num- ber of pedestrian fatalities, she said, as well as to initiate a public awareness program to combat the problem. Before the College Station Police Department acquired TRASER, employees were re- quired to calculate information by hand, Lewis said. The program helps the department effectively use its limited workforce, he said. "TRASER tells us where acci- dents are happening, the time they are happening and causation factors," Lewis said. Parsons said that from 1989 to 1990, the number of traffic fatali- ties in Texas decreased by 118, with cities using TRASER ac- counting for 100 of those. State- wide statistics for 1991 are not yet available. 4 o ? ?D x�mo ~ p� r': O� tA-1 ao S 3 0- o a c8� -IS CD o ca nA __ �m c Dm m-ocnij, 3m 0 , ( , D - m p v <yCDWW �v - msmo �N�tl)rNy y y j mmw m v <O Z a_M7oT m-, -. < m- W@ vm m - Hu a > mm (D (D a '3a70Zq0<<imv �7N��CL G) h7 ^' oa�+ °0Q- rnmpn�m�of g D m( n M r Al A� J o �o�m x� s� m x c n- 6� ZG) � mram00(D m� mm 3N 0m N� (D C-4 - - - - - -- - ■ N vote to a oun commi�io ners �.o p un ch car ballots for next e lec tion N By JIM HINEY retary of State's Office.

At Wednesday's workshop, council members will discuss an ordinance that would lower elec- trical rates by 4.6 percent, reflect- ing 60 percent of the savings the city is receiving from a recent switch in power suppliers. The other 40 percent would go toward keeping future rate increases down. The rate reduction would save College Station customers about $2.2 million and would take effect Feb. 1. Thursday's meeting features a public hearing on the possible annexation of 350 acres along Graham Road. The original plan called for the city to annex only the properties of owners who want to join the city. City staff members now rec- ommend that the council annex all the businesses along Graham Road. Not only would it be more cost effective to provide utilities for everyone, it also would cut down on confusion for police and fire units, which respond only to calls within the city limits, said Assis- tant City Attorney Roxanne Nem. cik. Council members also will con- tinue considering local cable operations on Thursday, when they discuss an ordinance that would set standards for all multi- channel service providers. The council will hold a joint meeting with the Bryan City Council at 7 p.m. today in the Bra- zos Center to hear citizen con- cerns relating to cable service. The council meets Wednesday at 4 p.m. and Thursday at 7 p.m. in the College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S.

South Graham Road lies only a few hundred yards outside of the College Sta- tion city limits, but it might as well be a few hundred miles. The mostly high -tech companies along the road are on the Wellborn water system and use Bryan's Rural Electric service and septic tanks. The College Station City Council on Thursday held its first public hearing on the proposed annexation of the road. The council will hold another hearing Feb. 7, with a vote scheduled for March. The road df-vsn't meet county road standards, much less the higher stand- ards of College Station. The county is planning to start reconstruction of the street sometime this year, but as the companies grow, the road will de- teriorate faster if it isn't brought up to city standards. Six of the 22 landowners along the de- veloped part of the road have asked to join the city. Since the six lots aren't ad- jacent, the city staff is proposing that all 22 properties be annexed. The advantages to the city of adding the properties are obvious. The land sits in the city's growth path and the com- panies are examples of the kind of high - tech industries that the Economic De- velopment Corporation has been trying to recruit to the area. Plus, the annexa- tion would add substantially to the city's tax base. But what remains unclear is what an- nexation would cost, and who would pay for it. The city's plan includes annexing 1,000 feet of South Graham Road and leaving the rest under the county's juris- diction. The city would not have to foot the bill of future maintenance. The city would have to provide sewer, water and electric service to the area if it is annexed. College Station can buy power lines now being used by Bryan Uti- lities, but adding water and sewer lines could be expensive. Sewer lines alone can cost $30 a foot. Bringing the road up to city standards would be more expensive than the rural road construction the county uses. In some cases, the city implements im- pact fees, with which new customers pay all the expense of new additions. There is no impact fee in place for sewer lines, and the city would have to add one to the city's list of codes before it could assess the new additions for construction of the lines. All College Station's taxpayers would foot the bill for the improvements if no impact fee is implemented. Page Heller, president of Micon Engi- neering, said he favors annexation as a sign that the city is serious about eco- nomic development. "The city should not just grab the as- sets and leave the liabilities behind," Heller said. Will Botts, president of 01 Analytical, was the first person to ask the city about annexation. He wants to expand his business, but needs better services first. He asked the council to send a message. "Say that College Station takes care of growing businesses," he said. Kirk Brown, president of KW Brown and Associates, opposes annexation, say- ing the companies on t he _ road had achieved` success without the city's help. He says the city staff hasn't provided enough information to prove the annexa- tion will benefit his business. "How much will it cost ?" he asked. "We're businessmen. How can we make decisions without figures." City planner Jim Callaway told the council that he would provide a financial summary of the annexation within 10 days. 0 u INVITATION TO BID ON LAND TO BE LEASED BY CITY OF COLLEGE STATION FOR OIL AND GASPURPOSES Y BID #92 35 - 125 Legal Notices BRENTWOOD Park BID #92.36 - HIGHWAY 30 SUBSTATION BID #92 -37 - LOT ON MILLER'S LANE /s /Sealed bids will be received by the College Station Purchasing Agent on behalf of the City of College Statlon at 1101 Texas Avenue, College Station, Texas 771342 until Friday, Jan. 31, 1992 2:00 p.m., and publicly opened and read aloud at 2:00 p.m. on the same date In the Council Chsmbers at College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Avenue, College Station, Texas.

Clinic gives youth something to `trout' about By JIM BUTLER Eagle staff writer A day spent fishing, the saying goes, is not deducted from one's lifespan. If so, some 100 kids and adults are going to live a little longer. The youths and their tutors took advan- tage of a spring -like Saturday to experience the fun of fishing as part of a youth clinic sponsored by the Urban Fishing Program sponsored by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and the College Station Parks & Recreation Department. Most of the kids came from the Boys and Girls Club of Brazos County with members of the Texas A &M courtesy of the TPWD. The fish were pur- University student chapter of the American chased from a private hatchery in Arkansas Fisheries Society as instructors and cheer- and paid for from proceeds of the $7 Trout leaders. Bradley Gerling, 7, of College Station, caught the first rainbow trout of the clinic with three pieces of whole kernel corn as bait. "This is the first trout I ever caught," said the noticeably excited youngster. "But I caught a catfish once at my grandpa's farm." The clinic was held at Cy Miller Pond, ad- jacent to the College Station Police Station on South Texas Avenue. Some 2,000 rainbow trout were stocked in the pond Wednesday, Stamp fishermen between 17 and 64 years of age must buy to catch trout. Urban fishing programs have become a high priority with government agencies and fishing tackle manufacturers as fewer and fewer youngsters are being exposed to fish- ing and the outdoors, said Mike Reed, TPWD fisheries biologist in the Bryan distridct. "This district has been the leader," Reed said. "It's something Mark (Webb, district Please see TROUT,page A2 Trout fishing in College Station Trout From Al biologist) and I have wanted to do for a long time. Mark and I both have a strong interest in getting kids involved in fishing. Recent changes in the department have allowed us to conduct more pro- grams for the public." The first clinic was in Hearne of June of 1992. Outings were held in Fort Parker State Park near Mexia and in Pasadena in Jan- uary. "It has taken us awhile to learn where to get the tackle and to en- list support groups," Reed said. "I think we have it pretty well or- ganized anow." When youngsters arrived at the pond, fishing tackle, bait and in- structors were waiting for them. The tackle was provided by Ze- bco, Inc. At the end of the two - hour session, the youngsters were treated to pizza courtesy of Do- mino's. "The program is for all youths," Reed said, "but specially for city kids who haven't been exposed to fishing and the outdoors. Studies have shown that people who have never been exposed to fishing when they are young never be- come fishermen. These days there are so many single- parent homes or homes where both parents work that no one has time to take kids fishing anymore. We call it an urban fishsing program, but even in Hearne, which is pretty rural, we had a lot of kids who had never held a fishing rod." The City of College Station, which has been a leader in urban fishing programs and has won a national award for its Pool Trout Fish -Out, will hold another one Feb. 21 -23 at Adamson Pool in Bee Creek Park, said David Gerling, special facilities superintendent. Some 2,000 rainbow trout will be dumped into the pool. Admission fee will be $2.50. "By working with the parks and wildlife department, cities can save a lot of money on the purchase of fish," Reed said. "Be- cause we order such a large vol- ume, cities can get the fish for • ■ T H E C T r a ■ • Important ' � � RYA Public Hearing �� Regarding the Cities' i E x n s ■ Cable Franchise Agreement : The franchise agreements between TCA Cable Company and the cities of Bryan and College Station will expire in 1994. ■ The cities have entered a re- franchising process which : began in September 1991.

Those characteristics are endurance, caring, pride, strength, vision and wis- dom, said the Rev. Samuel Hill, associate pastor of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in College Station, in an address at the Black History program at the Lincoln Center. "When you think about being black, think about all these things," Hill said. "This month, we need to reaffirm all these things in ourselves and in our chil- dren." Hill was the featured speaker of the evening, which was sponsored by the Lincoln Center to celebrate Black History Month. The program, which drew an au dience of about 100 people, featured spiri- tuals, prayers, poetry and speeches by local black leaders. Far too many black Americans have lost sight of the fact that they possess those qualities and with them can over- come any obstacle, Hill said. "If you realize that all of these things are in you, you're going to stand tall," he said to thunderous applause. "If you take these things away, you won't be feeling very good. That's what's wrong with so many of our children. They've had these things stripped away." Hill also said that black Americans need to stop just seeing their problems and begin solving them. "They'll always be something wrong," he said. "But we need to find a solution, a way around it. "Take what you have and make the best of it." Hill said black Americans have the strength to overcome their problems be- cause they are descendants of the strongest blacks in Africa, he said. Traders selected the strongest African natives to sell into slavery and many died during the journey to America, leaving only the best on arrival, he said. "Only the strongest of the strong sur- vived the trip," he said. "We are descen- ded from the strongest of the strong." Earnest Dempsey, director of the Lin- coln Center Boys' Club and a Sam Hous- ton Elementary School physical edu- cation instructor, said children don't know enough about black history. "All the way through black history, all we can remember is Martin Luther King Jr., which is good and not so good," he said. "Where are we going, black America ?" Dempsey said. "Everyone's going some- where. But before you can go anywhere, you have to come from somewhere." Blacks must take pride in their heri- tage and themselves in order to overcome the problems of today — teen pregnancy, HIV and AIDS, drugs and school drop- outs, he said. Master of ceremonies Blossie Payton said the purpose of Black History Month is to remember the contributions blacks have made to all of society and to pass that knowledge on to children. "It is the responsibility of one genera- tion to pass it on to the next," she said. "If it is not, it will be forgotten." couie puum rnui nucna Carolyn Nobles of Bryan leads a gathering in song at the Lincoln Recreation Center during a Saturday evening ceremony marking the start of Black History Month. Speakers exhorted the audience to make use of their strengths, and urged people to pass on black history to children. • C•♦, he City of College Station is currently recruiting for the position of.

City staff members are recommend- ing that the city annex the businesses clustered at the west end of the road, giving the city additional revenues from utility sales and property taxes. They also recommend that the city take only the 1,000 feet of right -of -way along the road that is required by state law. The council will have a public hear- ing on the annexation at 4 p.m. in the College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S. If the council decides to add only those properties asking for annexa- tion, the project would be a money - loser, and the city would create a prob- lem for emergency service crews, who would have to figure out what's in the city and what isn't. If the council takes the entire road, located between Texas 6 and Wellborn Road, it would mean a net gain of $21,000 a year in revenues. But the city would face opposition from property owners who do not want to be part of the city. All the proposals assume that the city will not improve the street to city standards. Road improvements would add about $900,000 to the project.

The council also directed the staff to begin the annexation process for the en- tire length of the road, which stretches from Texas 6 to Wellborn Road. The council appears ready to take on the task of bringing the road up to city standards, which would cost an esti- mated $1.2 million. Will Botts, the owner of O.I. Industries, located at the northwest corner of the Wellborn and Graham Roads, was the first to petition the city for annexation. Botts said he needs city water and sewer service before he can expand. But not everyone on the road shares Botts' enthusiasm to be part of College Station. Lynn Elliott, owner of Lometa Petroleum, told the council on Friday he didn't want to be in the city. "I don't need city services and I don't need the additional costs of being in the city," said Elliott, whose business is on South Graham Road. If the city really wanted development, it would leave the road outside the city, Elliott said. "Increased costs reduces de- velopment," he said. But Councilman Fred Brown said the investment will be good for the city. Staff figures on the cost of providing service to the area did not include the possibility of additional residential de- velopment. A large area of open field se- parates the city limits from South Gra- ham Road. Because there is a junior high and an elementary school in the area, residential development is expected. "We were going to be in the city sooner or later," Elliott said after the meeting. "If it's done this way, it's acceptable. Provided the council directs staff to use discretion because we are an industrial area and not treat us like a residential development. "We don't want to be invited to the party and end up paying for it," he said. The staff will also have to find a way to fund the project. Brazos County has pledged about $200,000 for the road im- provement, but that still leaves the city over $1 million short. City Finance Director Glenn Schroeder said the city has about $1 million in un- sold bonds available for road projects. 0 F The Ci of College Station is curre y accepting applications for: ould have a dAIV e omp ST Science or other elated fields.

About 75 people came to the commit- tee's public hearing on the weed ordi- nance, and most said the ordinance needs revision to allow native plants and wild- flowers to flourish. "We need to encourage native plants, Preserving our natural heritage and nat- ural species," said Gary Varner. "We need to make sure we preserve an envi- ronment for those species." Others called for the ordinance to be more specific. "What is a weed ?" asked Dick Startzan. "Some people's weeds are another per- son's orchid." Jim Baker said the present weed ordi- nance was tantamount to an infringe- ment of freedom of expression. "I should be free to express my tastes [in landscaping]," Baker said, "just as I'm free to choose what car to drive." Susan Causey, chairwoman of the committee, said she hopes to recommend an ordinance to the College Station City Council that will last more that three years. The present ordinance was amen- ded in 1989 after wild flower growers and those who have more traditional lawns appeared to have reached a compromise. But Monday's audience was filled with people who were cited under the ordi- nance, even though they felt their only crime was a yard of beautiful wild flowers. The committee had hoped to have something to recommend to the council within two months, Causey said, so that it could be settled before the wild flower growing season was over. "But I don't think that it's possible, with all the interest we've had," Causey said.

Texas Avenue College Station, TX R cyc r may p lant in CS Thursday, February 20, 1_ Tha FAr a Firm handles medical waste By TERI WALLEY Eagle staff writer A company that treats and re- cycles medical waste is consider- ing building a plant in the College Station business park. An announcement may be made later today. Stericycle, based in Illinois, treats all medical waste, except for body parts, and recycles it into usable products. The College Station plant would serve a 300 -mile radius, bringing in medical waste from as far away as San Angelo to the west and Shreveport, La., to the east. Stericycle representatives will meet this morning with the Eco- nomic Development Corp. board, the Bryan City Council, the Col- lege Station City Council, the Brazos County Commissioners Court, members of the medical community and others to explain the process. Stericycle has plans to build six plants by the end of this year and eight to 12 more in 1993. The company uses a process it calls "electro- thermal deactiva- tion," which exposes the waste to a high - strength oscillating elec- tric field generated by low - frequency radiowaves. The wastes absorb the electric energy and heat rapidly. The materials reach 95 -100 degrees Celsius and are held in insulated containers for two hours. At that point, vir- uses, fungi, bacteria and parasites are eliminated, according to Ster- icycle literature. The used medical material, which is shredded during the process, is sorted into "sharps" (plastics) and "softs" (drapes, gowns and linens). The sharps are turned into the Steritub, a reusa- ble medical waste container. The softs are turned into Steri- fuel, which is used by some con- crete manufacturers as fuel, the company says. The factory would initially em. ploy 30 workers and eventually � increase to 60, according to EDC executive director Robert Worley. A tentative incentive package the city of College Station may I offer includes land and tax abatements valued at $335,080. The incentives include: ■6 -8 acres of land in the busi- ness park, valued at $961000; ' ■Infrastructure developments, valued at $80,000; ' ■And tax abatements, valued at $174,080. i i Ck C!( ,�_ 125 Legal Notices LEGAL NOTICE RDINANCE NO, 1941 AS PASSED AND AP- ROVED ON FEBRUARY 1, 1992 BY THE CITY DUNCIL OF THE CITY OF E STATION 125 Legal Notices tested by the Mayor. and the City Secretary, and In accor- dance with the City Charter. 02 -21- 92, 02.22-92 O L L E G =xAS meeting in regular �ssion in the Council Room ' the College Station City all, said meeting having aen posted in accordance ith Art. 6252 -17.

Stericycle, based in Illinois, had said it would announce a final site decision Thursday. Instead, College Station is still compet- ing with Temple and Waco for the plant, which will process infectious medical waste using radio waves. Stericycle recycles most of the proces- sed waste into hard plastic containers for the medical industry and into a high - energy fuel. Glass, which makes up 1 -2 percent of the waste, will be placed in a landfill. The plant would service hospitals and other medical facilities within a 300 -mile radius, but wouldn't serve anyone out- side Texas. Instead of choosing a single site now, Stericycle will begin obtaining state and local permits in all three cities, according to Bill Cebak, manager of facility siting and permitting for Stericycle, because the permits are site - specific. If one site falls through for some reason, Stericycle won't have to start the permitting process over. Jack Stewart, president of the Waco Chamber of Commerce, said he didn't be- lieve Stericycle to be playing one com- munity against the other. "In this case, there is some rationale for that approach," Stewart said. "It's certainly not our intention to get into any bidding war." Cebak and vice chairman Dr. James W. Sharp refused to rank the three cities in order of preference, saying that all had advantages. Cebak expects to make a final decision within 30 days. Both Stewart and Brodie Allen, presi- dent of the Temple Economic De- velopment Corp., said their cities have not offered any sort of incentive package. "Our meetings so far have been an ed- ucational process," Allen said. "We have not gotten to the point where we're dis- cussing incentives." Although the College Station City Council hasn't voted on it, a proposal from the city to Stericycle offered to give Eagle photo/ Bill Meeks Stericycle's Bill Cebak, manager of facility siting and permitting, and Vice Chairman Or. James W. Sharp discuss with B -CS officials the prospect of locating a recycling plant here. the company about six acres of land, im- provements to the land and tax abate- ments, all of which total about $335,000. The processing plant, which will cost $2 million to $3 million to build, should be operating within nine months, Cebak said. The plant will employ 30 -60 people. The plant here would be built in the College Station business park. Stericycle only processes solid infec- tious medical waste, which makes up about 15 percent of all hospital waste. Solid infectious waste includes such items as syringes, needles, saws, scalpels, gowns, drapes, linens, blood and blood products, live cultures and culture di- shes. It does not include body parts. The plastics are shipped to California to be recycled into "Steritubs," a medical waste container, and the fibers and metals become "Sterifuel." Stericycle already sells Sterifuel to Oregon concrete plants as a supplemental fuel. The glass, and any other waste that can't be recycled, is reduced in volume by 85 percent and sent to the landfill. Cebak and Sharp say the plant won't emit anything into the air or water. .J • 125 Legal Notices LEGAL NOTICE ORDINANCE NO. 1941 WAS PASSED AND AP- PROVED ON FEBRUARY 13, 1992 BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS meeting in regular session in the Council Room of the College Station City Hall, said meetino havinn 125 L ega l Notice been posted in accordance with Art. 6252 -17.

Since his first day as a rookie officer in 1965, Feldman dreamed of being chief of police. That dream came true Thursday night. The City Council on Thursday announced that Maj. Feldman, 50, will replace Chief Michael Strope on March 1. Strope announced his resignation in December. He will remain with the department in an advisory role until July 31 to help ease the tran- sition and aid in the selection of an officer to fill Feldman's position. "When I came here in 1965 and decided I wanted to [be a police officer], I dreamed," Feldman said. "I The College Station City Council picked Maj. Edgar Please see DREAM, page A3 Feldman as the new chief of police. Friday, February 28, 1992 The Eagle Dream From Al had visions of what this city and what this department would be- come. And I dreamt of being for- tunate enough to be the chief one day." Feldman, who was raised in College Station, was a pitcher in the San Francisco Giants organi- zation from 1960 to 1965. An arm injury sidelined him during spring training of his last season, sending him to El Paso of the Texas League. The problem wor- sened, and Feldman quit baseball in April 1965. He returned home and learned that the department was hiring. "I thought 'Why not ? "' he said. "I had nothing else to do, so I took it. I liked it, and I stayed." Feldman spent the next 27 years climbing the ranks. After two years as a patrol officer, he was promoted to patrol sergeant in 1967. Six years later he became a patrol lieutenant, followed by a promotion to captain and assis- tant chief in 1975. In 1980, he was promoted to major. Feldman said he has no plans for major changes within the de- partment, but does intend to re- fine existing programs. "I think what's set in place and what we're doing is working, and it's working very well," he said. "I'm comfortable with that and I think everyone in the department is, as well. "Just adding programs for the sake of adding programs is des- tructive. We have excellent pro- grams in place and we just want to make those better." Feldman said he wants to con- tinue the work Strope did as chief and will strive to make the de- partment a model for other law enforcement agencies in Texas. • CS program promotes home safety with reduced insurance payments By CHUCK SQUATRIGLIA Eagle staff writer Securing your house against burglars will do more than make you feel safer, it will save you money under a new program developed by College Station police. In the "Safe Home" program, contractors work with police to build houses that meet state and local safety requirements. Homeowners who buy those houses qualify for discounts of 5 to 15 percent on their homeowner's insurance, said officer Byron Tilton, who developed the idea. Existing houses can be modified to meet the re- quirements, affording those homeowners reduced rates as well, he said. Among the requirements: ■Exterior doors must be solid wood or metal at least 1-N inches thick and have a deadbolt lock with at least a 1 inch throw. ■ Deadbolt strike plates must be secured to the door frame with 3- inch -long screws. 125 Legal Notices is Saturday, February 29, 1992 The Eagle ■ Windows must be fitted with two locks. ■ Shrubs and other plants cannot conceal doors or windows. ■ For advanced certification and greater insur- ance discounts, an alarm system must be installed. When construction of the home is finished or modifications are made to an existing house, police inspect the building. Tilton said the primary goal of the program is to make homes more secure and to raise public aware- ness of crime prevention. Meeting the requirements adds a "minimal" amount to the price of the house, often less than $100, Tilton said. W.S. Phillips Construction Co. has built the first "safe home" in College Station at 3406 Regal Row. Police will be performing a final inspection on the house today, Tilton said. Two other contractors have contacted the depart- ment about the program, he said. For more informa- tion, call the department at 764 -3611.

But the question the College Station City Council will answer today is when a higher de- mand charge will take effect, and what that charge will be. Council members discussed the city's rate structure Wednesday at their work- shop session. The council has been planning to lower rates by 4.6 percent since September, when council members discussed the 1991 -92 budget. The council decided in October to pass on to customers 60 percent of the $2.2 mil- lion it will save this year by switching its power supplier from Gulf States Utilities to the four cities that make up the Texas Municipal Power Association. The other $880,000 will go to establish programs to help keep the city's electrical rates com- petitive in the future. But the council has never decided ex- actly how to pass on the higher demand cost that resulted from switching to TMPA. College Station has to pay a demand charge to TMPA for a guarantee that there will be enough power to supply Col- lege Station during the city's peak periods. The charge is higher under TMPA, and the city eventually will pass on that cost to the customers. City staff members are recommending that the increase be passed along slowly, with an education period built to teach load management to customers who would be affected by the increase in the load charge. But Councilman Dick Birdwell said that increasing the load charge now is the only way to get customers to practice load management. The council is scheduled to vote on the electrical rate scale today during the reg- ular council session at 7 p.m. in the Col- lege Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S. • ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS Additions and Renovations to Existing Facilities Central Park Workshop Expansion City of College Station, Texas Sealed proposals addressed to the College Station Parks and Recreation Department, will be received in the Cen- tral Park Office, 1000 Krenek Tap Road, College Station, Texas, until 2:00 pm, Tuesday, 17 March 1992, for fur- nishing all necessary materials, machinery, equipment, superintendence and labor for the "Additions and Reno- vations to the Central Park Workshop ", will be publicly opened and read aloud.

Monday March 6, 1992 The Eagle �J 1 1 �3 �_i (D H- iZ � sy N �i n Al N N C CS police substation receives high marks By KELLY BROWN Eagle staff writer Willie Jackson doesn't live in fear anymore. Gone are the days when he hesitated to let his children play outdoors. No longer does Jackson look outside his window every hour to see if his car is still there or if drug dealers are gathering. "Southgate Village [Apartments] has changed 100 percent," Jackson said. "There are no more fights, no more drug - gies around. There's a trust here now. It's safe, just like a normal residence." That's exactly the atmosphere College Station police wanted to create when they opened a substation at the apartment complex one year ago Thursday. More than 1,200 people have visited the substation in the past year, and about 100 incidents were handled as a direct result of an officer being on duty in the office, 143 Luther St. No. 253. Scott Simpson, coordinator of the community policing program, said the The College Station police department's Southgate Village substation celebrated Its first anniversary with an open house. substation allows police to become dir- ectly involved with residents. Southgate Village Apartments, home for many low- income families, sits in the middle of an area bounded by George Bush Drive, Wellborn Road, Southland Street, Welsh Avenue and Dexter Drive — one of the highest crime areas in Col- lege Station. "This office lets people who ordinarily wouldn't go down to the police station come to us in their own neighborhood and talk to us," Simpson said. "At first, we had to break down the barriers, espe- cially with the kids, because they've been raised [to believe] that cops are bad. We had that image to overcome and we have." Police have seen an increase in crimi- nal activity being reported while watch- ing the number of disturbances decrease. Every patrol officer has a key to the apartment and an officer can be found in the office at least six hours a week. The complex turned the office over to the police department free of charge. Jackson said thought oth- ers might resent the police coming to their complex to change things. "But the majority of us welcomed them," he said. "People appreciate what they've done for us.

Superintendent Ray Chancellor said the board asked administrators last summer to prepare options for a year - round school calendar. The board asked Chancellor to pro- duce a list of pros, cons, cost projec- tions and other factors of changing the calendar. Trustee Sherman Click also told the board that the facility committee has met with administrators about options for rectifying overcrowding at Oak- wood Middle School and for other building plans. Click said the committee will meet with city officials sometime after spring break, which is March 16-22, and he expects the committee to make a final recommendation sometime in April. CS council to review plan for city's business park Master Plan 2000 isn't the new science - fiction classic at your local theaters, it's what the College Station City Council will review today at its 4 p.m. workshop. The plan is designed to help the council members plan growth in the College Station Business Park, located in the southern part of the city along Texas 6. The park was originally controlled by the College Station Economic Foundation, which was dissolved when the Bryan- College Station Eco- nomic Development Corp. was formed. City staff members think the park needs rezoning, platting, and and ex- tension of streets and utilities because of interest from new industries. The council also meets on Thursday in its regular session at 7 p.m. Both meetings will be in the College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S. L� (D r_ n t7J N (D A� n n N N N CS council votes to develon inlifflQtriski ark By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer The College Station City Council voted Wednesday to begin developing the city's 200 -acre industrial park on the southern edge of town. Glenn Schroeder, the city's chief fi- nancial officer, gave the council an out- line showing that the first phase of de- velopment in the empty park could cost as much as $4 million. The council acted quickly, directing city staff' members begin gathering pro- posals from architectural and engineer- ing firms. The council members reached their decision after City Manager Ron Ragland and Economic Development Corp. direc for Robert Worley told them that two "se rious" prospects, other than medical waste recycler Stericycle, are intereste d in locating in the park. "There is a sense of urgency," Worley said. Representatives of a California com- pany with about 300 employees will be in the city next week to talk with local offi- cials, Worley said. "And if they come, they want to be operating in six months," he said. Worley said that a total of 35 prospects were looking at the Bryan- College Station area. David Dillard, with Three Architecture of Dallas, told council members that en- vironmental impact statements, zoning, - landscaping requirements, traffic no studies and soil analysis needed to be done before the city could begin full-scale development of the park. All that and construction of the first Phase — 90 acres — would take about 13 months. The city paid $2.37 million for 1,200 acres in 1981. The plan was for a munici- pal- private development that would re- sult in facilities ranging from a new city cemetery to a golf course, a landfill and a hotel - resort -spa. The city had planned to work a deal with developer Bill Spearman to give up land along Greens Prairie Road in return for property fronting Texas 6, on which the city planned to develop a "high -tech business park." In 1982, Spearman sold the Texas 6 property to Jose Arguello and JAC De- velopers, Inc. Arquello sold it to Bill Fitch in 1985. Finally, in 1988, the city traded land along Greens Prairie Road for 200 acres Fitch owned along Texas 6. By then, Lick Creek Park had been formed on part of the original purchase, and a sewage plant had been planned to handle expected res- idential development in the area. At the same time, Fitch announced plans for the Pebble Creek development. Fitch sold out his share of the course and residential area to Young Brothers Con- struction Company in 1991. 125 Le Notices INVITATION TO BID ON LAND TO BE LEASED BY CITY OF COLLEGE STATION FOR OIL AND GAS PURPOSES BID #92 -42 - COLLEGE STATION CEMETARY Sealed bids will be re- cieved by the College Station Purchasing Agent on behalf of the City of College Station at 1101 Texas Avenue, Col- lege Station, Texas 77842 until Tuesday, March 31, 1992 2:00 p.m., and publicly opened and read aloud at 125 L egal Notice 2:00 P.M. on the same date in the Council Chambers at Col- lege Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Avenue, College Station, Texas.

Buell, a financial planner with Jef- ferson- Pilot, has lived in College Sta- tion for about five years. He moved from Riverside, Ca- lif., to attend Texas A &M University, from which he graduated in 1991 with a degree in finance. BUELL Buell has served on the College Sta- tion Community Appearance Commit- tee for the past year. He said he first became interested in community ser- vice when he lost a contract with the Arm because of budget cuts. Buell said he believed he should serve his co unity since he could not serve his country. Buell was a member of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and the Aggie Band. Some will try to make his age an is- sue, said Buell, 23, but he knew that when he decided to run. "There are two sides to that coin," he said. "Some people think experi- ence comes with age, but I believe ex- perience comes with maturity." Buell is running against Vernon Schneider, a two -term incumbent. Schneider is 66 years old. "I have a lot of respect for Mr. Schneider," he said. "He brings a sense of professionalism to the council and he always gives full consideration to both sides of any issue. "I just felt he was the best person to run against. This is not a reflection on him. I think I can bring a iYesh pros- pective." W • Tuesday March 24, 1992 The Eagle In Town &Texas CS council to receive report of annexation The College Station City Council on Wednesday will receive a report on the proposed annexation of a portion of S. Graham Road. The council had scheduled con- sideration, of the annexation for the March 12 meeting, but postponed it to clarify who would pay to extend utili- ties and for improvements to the road. The annexation discussed at Wed- nesday's workshop involves the area at the intersection of Graham and Wellborn roads. City staff members have not com- pleted the steps that state law requires for the council to vote on the annexa- tion of the entire road. The item was tabled on March 12 be- cause representatives of OI Corp., which had originally requested the annexation, would not sign the annex- ation agreement. Will Botts, the company's chief operating officer, would not sign on when it appeared his neighbors would be added to the city without paying the same impact fees that his company would have to pay to join the city, staff members said. The council will hear the staffs re- port at the 4 p.m. workshop. The council is scheduled to vote on the annexation at Thursday's 7 p.m. regular meeting. Both meetings will be held in the College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S. Cable consultant's report claims TCA in violation of franchise agreement By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer TCA Cable has violated requirements in its franchise agreement for picture quality, safety, financial reporting and possibly payment of franchise fees, ac- cording to a cable consultant's report to the cities of Bryan and College Station. The report also labeled some of the cable company's actions as "obstructio- nist." The report was written by Larry Mon- roe, president of Municon, the consultant hired by Bryan and College Station to help review TCA's performance and write a new set of franchise agreements. Randy Rogers, general manager of TCA Cable's Bryan - College Station office, sent a letter to both cities saying TCA has met or exceeded its commitments. Rogers said he has "serious dis- agreement" with some of Monroe's con- clusions. "To get a truer feeling, you need to read the full technical report," Rogers said. Rogers said the report is Monroe's analysis of the situation and that Monroe was directed to find negative information about TCA's operations. City staff members, TCA rep- resentatives and Monroe have a meeting scheduled for Wednesday to work out the differences. The report brings Bryan and College Station one step closer to beginning ac- tual franchise renegotiations with TCA. The cable franchise for the two cities ex- pires in 1994. Monroe's report says TCA has violated the franchise by not providing service that is "of maximum efficiency and qual- ity in all respects." He faults TCA for not producing an undistorted picture as re- quired in the franchise. Monroe called the company's refusal to provide detailed financial information on its operations in Bryan- College Station "obstructionist." The report said the company appears to have intentionally prevented the cities from verifying that TCA's franchise fee payments have been correct. Rogers says the company has "to the best of our knowledge provided sufficient information to verify the accuracy and completeness of TCA's franchise pay- ments." "In no way, however, should TCA's legitimate refusal to open up all of its re- cords to the consultant be deemed ob- structionist..." Rogers said in his letter. Rick Hollowell, manager of broadband engineering for Lawrence Behr Associ- ates Inc. of Greenville, N.C., did the tech- nical inspection of TCA's plant and pro- vided Municon with the technical report. While Rogers said the technical report is a more accurate picture of the situa- tion, it also lists a number of problems with TCA's system, including: ■ The need for a monitoring system for the lights on TCA's tower. ■ Ground wires damaged by cows at TCA's tower site on FM 158. ■Lack of a fire extinguisher system at the system's head -end, where TCA receives and distributes signals. The technical report said even a small fire could result in the loss of cable service for a few days or even weeks. The technical report's most serious charge had to do with the safety of TCA employees. The report states that during the technical inspection, a worker had to remove a live wire to test one of the cable system's power supply - points. "If the technician were to accidentally come in contact with this live conductor while working on the power supply, he could be severely injured or killed from the electrical shock or by falling from the pole as a result of the electrical shock," the report states. The report said that Hollowell was "as- tonished to see such an unsafe practice performed and depicted as a regular procedure."

This program provides for the clear- ance of structures that are beyond feasible rehab and recommended for condemnation. The program then provides for construction of a replacement unit or purchase of an alternate dwelling. This structure was destroyed by fire and has been determined to be infeasible to rehab. The replacement dwelling was provided through the Rental Rehab pro- gram with the property being located at 811 Montclair. The remaining structures have been vacant for over one year and are uninhabitable due to their substan- dard condition. As a result, the removal of these structures will not reduce the number of affordable units available to low or moderate income persons, and will not create a need for replacement structures. The commencement and completion of demolition of the above structure(s) will be accomplished prior to December 31, 1992.

The College Station City Council on Thursday approved the annexation of the businesses at the west end of Graham Road. The council took the cheapest route for the annexation: The companies along the road will pay for a sewer extension, the county will rebuild the road and the city will maintain it. In February, most of the council mem- bers suggested that the city would foot the entire bill for improving the road and extending utility lines. "I commend the council for the vision it had in February, when the decision was made to take all of Graham Road." Firday, March 27, The Eagle 1992 said Will Botts, president of O.I. Corp, which was one of the first companies to ask for annexation. "You seem to have lost track of what was done in February." Botts distributed the minutes from the Feb. 13 meeting in which council mem- bers instructed city staffers to find a way to annex all of Graham Road without as- sessing the property owners. "I ask you to return to that vision of February," Botts said. But Mayor Larry Ringer proposed a less expensive method of annexation. "I'm not convinced that spending $1.5 million [to bring Graham up to city standards] will be a benefit to us," Ringer said. Improvements made to the city's in- dustrial park on Texas 6 are different, he Please see GRAHAM, page A3 0 Graham � From Al said, because the city has a re- sponsibility to develop property owned by the taxpayers. "Property taxes are for main- taining roads and sewer lines, not to develop them," Ringer said. Ringer said spending the $1.5 million would knock other prom- ised road projects out of the budget. "If the council wants to build Graham Road, I think we should put it on a [bond election] for the citizens to approve," he said. Councilman Fred Brown made the first motion, asking that the city pay for the sewer line exten- sion at an estimated cost of $200,000. "The potential for growth in that area is great," he said. Coun- cilwoman Nancy Crouch sec- onded. Councilman Dick Birdwell made a substitute motion, basica- lly mirroring Ringer's proposal. Councilwoman Lynn McIlhaney seconded. The council accepted the sub- stitute 6-1, with Brown voting no. The council then unanimously approved the annexation as City Ordinance 1949. City staff members will con- tinue to develop a service plan for annexing the rest of the road.

Just in time for Easter, a dark green, monogrammed ... 70 -gallon trash can. Residents will begin using the new cans as early as Tuesday, when College Station's solid waste divi- sion begins automated garbage collection. "We're staying with the Tuesday - Friday collec- tion," said Jim Smith, the city's sanitation superin- tendent. "One day will be collection of recyclables, and the other day will be collection of the rest of your garbage." College Station residents living east of Texas Avenue and having Tuesday recycling collection will have trash picked up on Fridays. Those with Tuesday garbage pickup will have their recyclables collected Fridays. "Residents have been notified at least three times about what we are doing so hopefully no one will be surprised on Tuesday," Smith said. The automated system features a truck with a me- chanical arm that uses pinchers to lift specially de- signed trash cans. Because of the new system, gar- bage collection crews will now consist of only one person, saving the city money. "We're using the same type of can that's been in use in Phoenix since the early '70s," Smith said. "Some of the first cans they put out are still being used. Smith estimated that the new system will pay for itself — enough cans for every business and resi- dence in the city and seven trucks — within seven years. "That's when we'll start realizing savings," he said. The containers are considered animal -proof and should cut down on litter, Smith said. Smith's drivers — and drivers in Bryan's solid waste department — have been preparing for action by staging trial runs. "We set up a course of 150 cans," Smith said. "We added penalty time for tipping cans over, for leaving the lid up and for dropping cans in the hopper of the truck. Only the top scorers will actually get to drive the trucks." College Station residents west of Texas Avenue will begin getting their cans in early April, Smith said. Collection is scheduled to begin on April 20 in Please see CS, page A3 CS From Al that part of the city. By then, the entire city, with the exception of Northgate, will be on a recycling program. Bryan will start delivering its 90 -gallon cans on April 6, said Roger Drews, Bryan's solid waste supervisor. Bryan's cans are slightly larger because the city will not have a citywide recycling program. The cities are also working on a Sunday, March 30, 1992 The Eagle Joint composting operation that will turn lawn clippings and branches into an agricultural ad- ditive. The composting program is scheduled to begin in July. "We hope to have dirt by early fall," Smith said. Both city officials are excited about the new program, but they're also worried about some- thing: cars. "Right now we are notifying customers that they shouldn't park their cars on the street on trash days," Smith said. "If that doesn't work, we may have to come back with an ordinance."

Mayor Larry Ringer be by saying that his six gn Provided hirla leading College Station have e r nce to get things d ne for the city. Please see DEBATE, page A4 ME Page A4 Bryan - College Station Eagle Wed nesday, April 22, 1992 00 rrorm Debate From Al Challenger Doug Glasgow, a Texas A &M management profes- sor, said that the council has be- come so insulated, it doesn't know what the people of the city want. Glasgow criticized a proposal to offer a $900,000 benefits package to Stericycle, a medical recycling company. If we can spend millions on projects like that, we can spend a couple of thousand to inform the people of College Station," he said. An audience member asked Glasgow if he thought it was diffi- cult to get involved in city government. "Unless you get the Eagle or go to all the council meetings, it's hard to keep up," he said. "The people found out about a lot of things after the decisions were made." Ringer said there were plenty of opportunities for everyone to get involved. "We have a city newsletter, the agendas are run on cable and posted at the city hall as required by law," Ringer said. "All someone has to do is ask." In closing, Glasgow said that the city has been dragging its feet in planning for the George Bush "That area needs to be zoned be- fore some speculators come in and buy all the property," Glas- gow said. Ringer pointed out that the land around the Bush Library is owned by Texas A &M and can't be zoned. "You talk about never being aware, but how many council meetings have you been to before you decided it was your turn to be mayor ?" Ringer asked, referring to a Glasgow comment in the Eagle on why he was running. "I think there are quite a few people ahead of you." The rest of the forum, held in the College Station Conference Center, was quiet. Place 2 City Councilman Ver- non Schneider said that the coun- cil has laid a foundation for planned growth in the city. "I've spent a lot of time listen- ing to the citizens," he said. Challenger Greg Buell stressed his fiscal responsibility and the cooperation between the city and businesses. Both favored tax abatements if it would prove cost beneficial. Hubbard Kennady was the only candidate to show up for Place 4. In his statement he stressed his community involvement as a former assistant district attorney and as a vice chairman of the city's capital improvement project committee. David Skinner, a candidate for Place 3 on the school board, said that he is stressing academic ex- cellence, communication and de- cision- making in his campaign. His opponent, Lillian Robinson, said she wanted to work on the district's rising dropout rate. Robinson said that the district should not go to an expanded school year unless mandated by the state. She said the time out of school allows teachers and stu- dents to have summer jobs and is valuable for teachers who want to further their education. I Skinner said he doubted the state would ever mandate an ex• tended school year and said that there were more pressing issues that the district needed to focus on. Both David Louder and Kent Moore, the candidates for Place 4, said that site -based decision mak. ing is proving to be a benefit to the district's students. "The way to improve the schools is from the bottom up," Louder said. "We need the leader- ship to encourage the teachers to have input." Moore agreed that site -based schools would have a dramatic effect on education. "We need to set aside more staff' days to allow the teachers to for- mulate their policies," Moore said. Ford Taylor and Greg Hughes, vying for Place 5, got the toughest question of the night — taxes. Both said that they thought the community would support higher school taxes. "We are fortunate to live in a community that places a high value on education," Hughes said. "If we need a higher tax rate to fund a good education, people wW be supportive." Taylor also said he didn't mind taking money out of his pocket for the students of College Station. "If that's what it takes, that's what we'll do," he said.

Voters will decide on nine amendments to the city's charter, with the most important ones making changes to the city's elec- tion process. Proposition No. 7 on the ballot would make it easier to run for of- flee in College Station. If ap- proved, candidates for mayor and city council will no longer have to get the signatures of 25 voters to get their name on the ballot. "It will make it easier to run for council," said Connie Hooks, Col- lege Station's city secretary and chief election official. "It was also a lot of work for me to check to see if all the people who signed were registered to vote in College Sta- tion." Proposition No. 8 would lower the percentage of voters needed to force a recall election for a coun- cil member. The rules now re , quire signatures from a number of registered voters equal to 51 percent of the number of people who voted in the previous elec- tion. The proposition would lower the requirement to 40 percent, th e same as the number needed to force a recall election for the mayor. "The charter review committee felt that 51 percent was an unrea- listic number," Hooks said. "And this will make it uniform." Proposition No. 9 would require a city employee to resign if he or she became a candidate for city Wednesday April 29, 1992 The Eagle co cil or mayor. `It just didn't make sense," Hooks said. "It would be in con- flict with the city's personnel pol- icy." The six other propositions would bring the city's charter into compliance with state laws: ■Proposition 1 would allow the city manager to designate a tem- porary replacement. ■Propositions 2 and 3 would make it easier to amend the city's 7 ual budget. ■Proposition 4 would relieve e city's finance director of his responsibility for appraising property for taxing purposes. By state law, a tax appraisal authori- ty must perform this duty. ■ Propositions 5 and 6 would change the charter's language on purchases to comply with state purchasing laws. • 0 0 r J Wednesday April 29 1992 The Eagle hours before the meeting.

Usually it applies to members of the U.S. Senate and House of Rep- resentatives. But the challenger for the mayor's office in College Station is hop- ing it will apply here. "If you mean by 'rascals' that I think the council is not informing people, then yes, that's what I mean, said Doug Glas- gow, a Texas A &M management profes- sor. "And yes, I think they're out of touch." Glasgow iRing Texa mayor Larry s A &M statis- tics professor. Ringer has also served on the College Station City Council for seven years and has worked on many commu- nity committees. Ringer stresses his experience as the reason to re turn him as mayor. "I'm offering myself as the candidate with experience and a record," Ringer said." The basic difference is that ' been r working in the community, the said. "There's no evidence [Glasgow] has ever been involved," he said. But Glasgow responded that lack of community service should not be con- sidered a negative. "If the mayor is always just someone who is on the council, then you'll never get new ideas," he said. "The city man- ager, the police chief ... a lot of people are hired from outside the system." By not being part of the current coun- cil, he does not have any debts or favors that he owes to anyone, Glasgow said. "I've been studying government my whole life," he said. "I've been teaching decision - making for a long time." Ringer said he doesn't sense that citi- zens are displeased by the present coun- cil. "There may be some 'throw the rascals out' sentiment in regard to Washington D.C.," he said, "but I don't think we're seeing it here. "I don't sense a problem," he said. � CS council hopefuls aren't philosophical adversaries A­ By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer If you read position papers for the two candidates for Place 4 on the College Sta- tion City Council, you may not be able to tell who said what. There appear to be no major philo- sophical differences between the two. Incumbent Vernon Schneider is a professor of agricultural economics at Texas A &M. His challenger is Greg Buell, a finan- cial planner at Jefferson -Pilot who grad- Thursday, April su, 195:x, The Eagle uated from A&M in 1991 with a ce degree. At the League of Women Voters candi- date forum, both said they were in favor of planned growth and for using tax abatements to draw clean, high -tech businesses to the city. Both said the abatements should be given only after careful analysis of the benefits to the city. Buell has said he has respect for all the current council members, but hat the would bring a fresh perspective C Toy UP-7un cki hones media blackout will win--election By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer Ted Lezynski is running for Place 2 on the College Station City Council. He's just keeping a low profile while doing it. Lezynski, owner of Golden Eagle Air- craft Charter, faces attorney Hub Ken - nady for the spot being vacated by Coun- cilman Dick Birdwell. This is Lezynski's first attempt at pub- lic office, and most political h obsserr observers would say that his app is quite novel. Lezynski did not show up at the League of Women Voters candidate forum. He did not answer the questionnaire the League provided, so he didn't appear in that organization's voters guide. Nor did he appear at the forum held by KA- MU -TV. Lezynski did take part in the Eagle's voters guide. "I'm not planning said on Monday. talking to the media," Lezynski "My opponent has set out to be adversar ial — he's already had my marriage can celed — I'm not going to allow him to dis- credit me any more. ,, I , m not playing his game," he said. Lezynski was to have married Nancy Bryan on the air Sunday during KA- MU -TV's Auction `92. He said that Kennady intervened and got the station management to change their mind about the idea. He and Bryan now plan to marry in July. Kennady and Penny Zent, the station's development director, admit that Ken - nady called to find out whether Lezynski was getting married on the air. But both say that was t h e extent of any protest. He didn't even make a protest, Zent said. "He just simply called and said he heard there was going to be a wedding during the auction and that Mr. Lezynski and his fiancee were going to be married on the air and that he wanted to know what the situation was." Station management decided not to air the wedding live to avoid any d appearance of favoritism for any said. "We are not the Eagle editorial board," she said. "We have never — nor do we in- tend to — take a stand on any political candidates. That is not what we are about. Zent said she offered up the option of airing the wedding later, but the couple decided against it. Kennady stresses his community in- volvement, having served as an assistant district attorney, vice -chair of the city's capital improvements committee and on the Chamber of Commerce's government affairs committee. He is also on the boards of the Arts Council and the United Way. "He's claiming Ke T tried to K asked. "Well, wedding he ? tried to withdraw from the race. "There is a tie -in. He bouncing all over the place. He told Dick Birdwell he was withdrawing." Lezynski said Kennady's response is expected. "If he said so, then it must be true," Le- zynski said. "What's that got to do with anyone's qualifications for office? This is the thing I'm trying to avoid." • • Friday, May 1, 1992 The Eagle 0111011 The City o C01 ege Station is currently accepting applications for TECHNICIAN II in the Public Utilities Department.

"I guess I wasn't paying atten- tion," Smith said. One of the city's new automated trucks picked up the routine trash on schedule with no prob- lems, she said. The truck, equipped with mechanical pin- chers, hoists the 70 -gallon green trash containers, empties them and gently lowers them to the street. The snag was with the smaller container for recyclable products — aluminum cans, glass and newspapers — placed at the curb several days later. Smith said the city collected the newspapers, but the glass and plastic were left be- hind. Southwood Valley was the last neighborhood in College Station to receive its new trash con- tainers from the city. Nearly 9,000 residential containers are in place across College Station, said city sanitation superintendent Jim Smith. Despite the confusion over re- cycling, Smith said she likes the big green containers a lot better than the messy plastic bags. "It's just a lot neater than having plastic bags around that the cat or dog can get into," Smith said. The Runge family lives about a block away from Smith on Deacon Drive. Edward Runge said he has let his wife take charge of organ- izing the trash. "My wife tells me I'm always putting the wrong stuff in with the right stuff," Runge said. "I let her take care of it." Other than training her hus. band, Pat Runge said her com- plaints are few. One is that the 7o -gallon container is so large that ,t will not fit through a normal doorway, forcing the Runges to leave it outside. Another is that many College Station residents are permanent- ly leaving the containers out by the curb instead of wheeling them out only on the new once -a -week pickup day, Runge said. "I think they're very un- sightly," Runge said. "People need to put them away." An elderly Southwood Valley couple away since April returned this week to find their new con.

Trash From Al tainers waiting for them. The wife, who asked of to be n amed, said getting the out to the curb worried her. She planned to call the city and request a special service in which a city employee thecontainer care a the wheeling it to the curb and returning house. Smith said the city has tried to be thorough in informing the pub- lic about how the new automated service works. In February, a newsletter in the Bryan- College Station Eagle explained the new service. Another 15,000 copies reached city utility customers through the mail. Distributed with the containers were 19,000 brochures farther ex- plaining automated trash collec- tion. Each home received a copy of the newsletter and brochure stapled to a door hanger, Smith said. Requests for added information about the new system have been few, Smith said. Most of those have been to request an extra 70 -gallon container at a cost of $4.75 a month. on Smith said educating people separating waste between the two separate pickups each week has not been a widespread problem. with some people, when you change anything, it doesn't sit well," Smith said. College Station's automated col- lection system will be complete when the final 150 of 50o commer- cial -size containers are in place, he said. In Bryan, 8,500 of 17,000 90 -gal- lon residential containers are in place. The rest will be delivered by July 20. Bryan containers are slightly larger because the city will not have a recycling pro- gram. Roger Drews, the solid waste division manager known as the H Automated Guru" around City all, said some families switch- ing over to a single weekly trash pickup find that a 90 -gallon can isn't enough. "Some families with five mem- bers have no problem," Drews said. "Other families with only three members can't make do with one can." An extra can in Bryan is a one- time cost of $60, Drews said. But families who learn to optimize use of a single container simply by crushing cardboard boxes flat have no problem. The city is urg- ing people with a one -time gar- bage overrun to talk to neighbors about sharing their containers. Separating yard waste from routine trash is the big lesson Bryan homeowners will have to learn in the coming months, Drews said. A separate vehicle collects yard waste on the same day as the au- tomated trash run, Drews said. Because of a vehicle shortage dur- ing the switchover to the auto- mated system, yard waste pickup is running a day late on average, he said. A joint composting project by Bryan and College Station is ex- pected to be operating by October, Drews said. Until then, home- owners are receiving warning no- tices when yard waste is found mixed with household garbage. Once the composting project begins, homeowners failing to se- parate their garbage will face an extra charge to cover the added work for city crews, Drews said. In both Bryan and College Sta- tion, the city will replace stolen containers free of charge. Drews said Bryan will be wary of people who make a habit of losing their containers. "If you've got eight or nine con- tainers up at the fishing lodge catching rainwater, you're going to start paying for them," Drews said.

Texas Ave. According to a memo to the council by Mark Smith, assistant director of public services, the new walls and liners are needed because the landfill is filling up faster than expected. The council will also discuss the Council Development Policies Sub- committee's recommendation on an FM 2818 extension study, and will con- sider bids for a $361,000 computer system for the water production and wastewater treatment facilities. Wednesday, May 27, 1992 The Eagle • CS council to discuss Foxf ire annexation A public hearing will be held tonight on the possibility of annexing the Foxfire subdivision into the city of College Sta- tion. The hearing will be held during the College Station City Council meeting, 7 p.m., in the College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S. Residents of the subdivision petitioned the city in March to join the city. A service plan prepared by city staffers showed annexation of the subdivision, located between the Emerald Forest and Wood Creek subdivisions, would eventu- ally net the city about $150,000 a year. Any improvements to water and sewer system will be paid by the property owners, the plan said. About $450,000 in road improvements is needed and the council will need to decide who would pay if they approve the annexation. In Town &Texas CS landfill filling up fast, city staffer says • A city staffer told the College Station City Council on Wednesday that the Brazos Valley Solid Waste Manage- ment Landfill is filling faster than an- ticipated. "We used 15 months worth of space in 12 months," said Mark Smith, assis- tant director of public services, refer- ring to the original projections. "We need to add 12 months of space this summer." Smith made the presentation to the council at Wednesday's workshop. Smith said that the original projec- tions were based on the amount of garbage produced by College Station, Bryan and Texas A &M, but that the policy is to allow anyone willing to pay $15-a -ton to use the landfill, causing the shortage of space. The new projections have taken the open gate policy into consideration, Smith said. College Station's recycling program is showing some success, he said, but he didn't want to have to de- pend on the program and then end up with not enough space. Thursday, May 28, 1992 The Eagle • IN Town &Texas FM 2818 extension opens this morning It may not be a yellow brick road, but it does lead to the Emerald Forest. The extension of FM 2818, connect- ing Texas Avenue with Emerald Parkway and Texas 6, will open this morning. Opening ceremonies, featuring Col- lege Station Mayor Larry Ringer and Delton Kittrell , district engineer for the Texas Department of Transporta- tion, will take place at the east end of the extension at 9 a.m. Traffic will be allowed on the road soon after the ceremonies. The city and the Texas DOT spent a combined $950,000 on the project, which is expected to handle 2,000 vehi- cles a day, improving east -west travel in College Station.

That's the message Foxf1re Homeown- ers Association president Bill Fox brought to the College Station City Coun- cil on Thursday. Only 11 people have said that they don't want to be part of the city under any circum- stances, said Bill Fox, presi- dent of the Foxfire Home- owners Association. Friday, May 29, 1992 The Eagle The council held the first of the two re- quired public hearings on the possible annexation of the area during the coun- cil's regular meeting. A second hearing is scheduled for June 5. "Of the 178 lot owners, 122 indicate that they prefer to be annexed," Fox told council members, "and even more im- portant, of the 104 homeowners, 78 — about 75 percent — want to be annexed." Only 11 people have said that they don't want to be part of the city under any cir- cumstances, Fox said. Foxfire is east of Texas 6 between the Emerald Forest and Wood Creek subdiv- isions. Jim Callaway, the city's planner, said some improvements are needed to the area's water, sewer and street systems.

The phantom smell has been unearthed. And re- earthed. officials said the smell, which was near the city's old landfill, was just rotting garbage. State officials were concerned that a gas line was leaking. City workers using shovels Friday to get to the source of the smell found the garbage just a few feet below the surface, said Mark Smith, assistant director of public services in College Station. "We did as prescribed by Health Department rules and Tuesday, June 2, The Eagle Smell From Al added dirt to bury it deeper," Smith said. Texas Air Quality Board and Texas Water Commission offi- cials were called when employees at the Sandstone Center, just south of the old landfill, com- plained about the smell. Jeff Reddell, an inspector with the Waco office of the Air Quality Board, led a search Thursday and Friday for the source of the fumes. When searchers found where the smell was coming from of the ground, Reddell, concerned that a pipeline could be leaking gas, began checking with com- panies known to have lines in the area. The five companies he called said they had none in that location, and city maps also showed no pipelines there. It wasn't until city crews broke out the shovels that officials could rule out leaking pipelines. 1992 Signal changes make driving in CS easier I wanted to publicly congratu- late the city for the signal opera- tion changes made recently at many of the intersections in Col- lege Station.

JIMMIE VERNON Foxfire annexation opponent C� Saturday, June 6, 1992 The Eagle Most of the residents in the subdivision have signed a petition asking for annexa- tion. Foxfire's water supply is privately owned, and the owner has said he wants to discontinue service. Only three people showed for the hear. ing — the se fond on the issue — with two for and one a,;ainst the annexation. Bill Fox, president of the Foxfire Home Owners Association, said that the resi- dents are still in favor of annexation and that no new opposition had been voiced. Jimmie Vernon said she and her hus- band opposed the annexation because they purposefully chose not to build in ". side the city limit-.t. "We opted for the freedom of rural life," she said. "The freedom to have live- stock, stock ponds and wild flowers in the yard." Mayor Larry Ringer said city ordi- nances allow livestock, as long as the animals aren't too close to homes. City staffers are looking at changes in the city's weed ordinance that would recog- nize a difference between large and small lots. Most of the lots in Foxfire are larger than an acre.

Feldman was a major when he became chief, leaving a vacancy within the de- partment. Four officers — all lieutenants — applied for the position, said Major John Kennedy. Following a lengthy written test and skills assessment, Mason Newton was named the new major, Kennedy said. Newton will head the Operations Bureau, which includes the traffic, patrol and criminal investigation divisions. Newton, who had commanded the criminal investigation division since 1988, joined the force in 1971 after nine months at the University Police Depart- ment. He has worked in the patrol and traffic divisions and commanded the technical services division. Technical :services includes the records depart- %ment, jail and crime prevention unit. Kennedy said the four applicants were -highly qualified. Feldman transferred Lt. Mike Patter - son from patrol supervisor to fill New- ; ton's vacancy in the criminal in vestigation division. The department reassigns its lieuten- :ants every two or three years so each gains experience in various areas of law enforcement, Kennedy said. "It's a built -in incentive within the de- partment for its commanders to learn , 'more," he said. Patterson joined the force in 1978 after :two years with University police and :eight months at the Brazoria County Sheriff's Department. He worked in both %the patrol and special services divisions. Eight officers vied for the patrol super- : visor's position vacated when Patterson :moved to CID. After another lengthy test- ing and assessment process, Feldman promoted Master Officer Corkey Sandel to lieutenant. Sandel, who joined the department : 10 years ago, has been the depart- ment's research and planning coor- dinator since 1987. He also worked as a patrol officer and detective. As head of research and planning, Sandel was the driving force behind the department's accreditation last year. Sandel will spend about a month train- ing the new officer, Kennedy said. C (D r- n t�J N s2 � CA (D N N N CS Council to consider new fees for developers By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer The College Station City Council will consider a resolution at today's meeting that could result in new fees being charged to land developers. The resolution, which is on the coun- cil's consent agenda, would have the Planning and Zoning Commission serve as the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee. The committee is necessary to develop land use assumptions "and capital im- provements plans. Those are necessary, under state annexation laws, to imple- ment impact fees. The council must jump through all these hoops before: ■The sewer line extension is made to the newly annexed area along Graham Road. ■ A final plat for the area is filed. If the council does not meet these re- quirements, it can't assess impact fees in the Graham Road area. Appointing the committee does not mean the council will assess an impact fee, said City Attorney Cathy Locke, but it reserves the council's right to access a fee. At its budget retreat, the council will receive a detailed analysis of how impact fees — such as the city assessing de- velopers for sewer improvements — would affect economic growth. The retreat is scheduled for June 30 and July 1. �41 Friday, June 12, 1992 The Eagle NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS The City of College Station Community Development Of- fice will be conducted public hearings involving discussion and soliciting citizen input re- garding the City's Proposed Final Statement on the use of Community Development Block Grant funds.

One such person is Cindy Sza- buniewicz, who is the instruction supervisor for the College Station Parks & Recreation Department. Szabuniewicz, who earned a phy- sical education degree from Texas A &M in 1979, has worked full time for the parks' department for the past 12 years, beginning as pool manager in 1980. "During the summer after my freshman year at A &M (1976), I worked for Roberta Inglis as a swimming instructor," Szabun- iewicz said. "She had started the recreational swim program in 1974. I also taught a water safety course." Szbuniewicz, who graduated from Bryan High School in 1975, taught her classes at the Wofford Cain Pool outdoor pool on the A &M campus. At that time, it was the only pool of its kind in Bryan - College Station. In 1987 Szabuniewicz trans- ferred to the parks' department, responsible for about 65 people, including instructors in tennis and swimming. "We keep getting more and more people involved in our pro- grams," Szabuniewicz said. "We are running out of pool space and city budgets everywhere are get- ting tight. But our programs are in place. "Without my assistant program coordinator, Jenny Hartsfield, I wouldn't be able to get things done. She has been very helpful to me in the three years she's been here. Everyone else has helped, too." Szabuniewicz usually begins her busy day at the Thomas Park Pool shortly after 8 a.m. There she checks on the recreation swim team, which is ably coached by Kevin Halligan and Bruce Lester. "I talk to the coaches, but also to the parents," Szabuniewicz said. "This will be Kevin's last year because he will graduate from A &M in the spring. We hope Bruce will become the head coach in 1993." From there, she visits the Southwood Valley athletic com- Splash camp is held at the Southwood pool, and for the first time, swimming lessons are taught at this location. Also, for the fourth straight summer, the local National Junior Tennis League program is in full swing on the Southwood Courts. Around noon, Szabuniewicz gets to her office on Krenek Tap Road and spends the rest of the afternoon answering calls. However, often her working days turn into nights, as she is also involved with the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation and the Red Cross water safety pro- grams. "I have to teach at least one, 40 -hour class for water safety training," said Szabuniewicz. "There were more people in the class this year, and we had more enrolled in the life guarding class." As a member of the Brazos County Red Cross Board and its water safety chairman, Szabun- iewicz oversees all swim related classes in the county and pro- vides everyone with any new rules and /or regulations. Since 1985, Szabuniewicz has she helps organize the Games of been the T.A.A.F. swimming Texas state meet with members of commissioner. In that capacity, the host city.

In December 1990, College Station voters turned down a $3 million bond package to pay the city's share of what was called LoTrak, which would have lowered the road and the tracks and left a series of overpasses connect - ins the east and west sides of the Texas A&M campus. The project, expected to cost about $40 mil- lion, appeared to be dead. But at the College Station City Council's pre- budget workshop Wednesday, staff mem- bers, shying away from the term "LoTrak," began discussing the "Wellborn Corridor Transportation Plan." Staff members said the transportation committee of the Bryan- College Station Chamber of Commerce would present a plan to the Metropolitan Planning Organization to hire a consultant to study the Wellborn Corri- dor. The MPO is made up of representatives of Texas A &M, Brazos County, the Texas De- partment of Transportation and the cities of Bryan and College Station. City Manager Ron Ragland said there are signs from the Department of Transportation that the state may pick up the bill for the project Councilman Jim Gardner wondered if the council might incur the wrath of the citizenry by joining in the project, but Ragland said the city wouldn't spend any money, but would be protecting its interests by participating. Gene Joyce, chairman of the chamber's transportation committee, said it's too early to get excited about a Wellborn Road project. "The only thing we're hoping for right now is for the two cities to work together and that the staffs be ready to work on the project, if it does get started," Joyce said. Joyce did say that the chamber would ask the MPO to fund a study and that he would talk to Delton Kittrell, the acting district en- gineer for the Bryan office of the transporta- tion department, about available funding. ® LEGAL NOTICE ORDINANCE NO. 1965 WAS PASSED AND AP- PROVED ON JUNE 25, 1992 BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION meeting in regular session at the College Station City Hall, said meet- ing having been posted in accordance with Art. 125 L Notices 6252 -17.

Apparently it has annoyed some people, but I am quite happy Monday, July 6, 1992 The Eagle with it. The trash containers are more than adequate for normal use. Those who find it inadequate need to re- evaluate their life- styles. One of the positive fea- tures of the system is that now the heaviest users are charged extra and no longer get a free ride at the expense of everyone else. That brings the cost down for normal users. Another objection was the health hazard caused by rotting cereal boxes and paper towels. Give me a break! Seriously, the only thing that could possibly cause a hazard would be rotting meat, and who in their right mind makes a habit of throwing away half -eaten steaks? Rotting vegeta- ble trimmings are the same as compost piles, which cause no health hazard. It does not take a college degree to figure out that food containers and paper, far and away the bulk of trash, cause no danger, so what is the real objec- tion?

Wednesday's workshop includes a report from James Dyer, who runs Texas A &M's Public Policy Resources Laboratory. Dyer also runs the Texas Poll, which recently conducted a sur- vey on the city utilities. The survey includes interviews with 300 residential and 200 commer- cial customers who were asked about overall performance, billing proce- dures and repairs and service. Most of the respondents — 77 per- cent — gave the utilities an overall grade of "B" or higher. But 61 percent said their electric bills were higher than in other cities and 42 percent said sewer service was too high. The workshop begins at at 4 p.m. At Thursday's regular meeting, the council will consider authorizing Mayor Larry Ringer, City Manager Ron Ragland and City Attorney Cathy Locke to acquire 3.7 acres to be used as part of the Wayne Smith Park Cor- ridor. The regular meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday. Both meetings will be in the city hall. Tuesday, July 7, 1992 The Eagle C CS Fire Department teaches students dos don'ts of fire prevention, safety By CHUCK SQUATRIGLIA Eagle staff w riter dren knew the correct answer. "The kids are pretty sharp," Clark said, adding that children often are more conscientious about fire prevention than adults. "Adults usually have so many things on their minds that fire safety is at the back of their minds," he said. "I often see people filling gas cans while smoking or cleaning things with gasoline. Kids are more likely to point things out when it comes to fire prevention." Among the safety tips the children learned: ■If their clothes catch fire, stop mov- ing, drop the the ground, cover their faces and roll to smother the flames. ■Do not overload electrical outlets with cords. Inspect extension cords for wear and do not cover them with rugs. ■ Keep space heaters are away from curtains, furniture and other combusti- bles. Forty -five local children on Tuesday learned how to stop, drop and roll. The children, students at Kinder Care No. 843 in College Station, spent about an hour at the College Station Fire Depart- ment learning fire prevention and safety. The class was part of Kinder Care's "Klub Mates" program. The children, all between 5 and 11 years old, earn activity badges for learning about first aid, space exploration, music, arts and crafts and other activities, said Kinder Care direc- tor Pat Ramos. Among the activities children must complete are planning an escape route from their home, testing their smoke detectors and being sure flammable items in their homes are stored properly. The children seemed to have a firm grasp of fire safety. Each time Clark would ask a question, most of the chil- n Town &Texa s CS city, school officials to discuss joint projects College Station city and school oTi- cials will meet this afternoon to dis- cuss their progress in common projects and separate activities that might affect both the city and the school district.

College Station police responded to 16,750 calls in the first six months of 1992, down from 17,445 in the same period last year. Overall, 1,121 major crimes oc- curred in the first half of the year, com- pared with 1,215 in the same period of 1991. Major crimes include murder, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft and vehicle theft. Sexual assaults doubled in the first half of the year, up from six in 1991 to 12 so far this year. Police plan to combat the in- crease with education. "We're planning more sexual assault awareness seminars for the women," said Lt. Wayne Onstott. "We're con- cerned about that." The seminars will teach basic safety measures, sexual assault prevention and self defense, Onstott said. Police will offer the class to all incoming Texas A &M freshmen during fall orientation sem- inars and again to all local residents "I think it has a lot to do with people using designated drivers. We haven't cut back on our enforcement. I think people are getting the mes- sage." Wayne Onstott Police lieutenant sometime next fall, he said. The increase in sexual assaults can also be attributed to an increase in the number of women reporting the crime, Onstott said. "It's especially true with date rapes," Onstott said. "In the past, we'd hardly get any reports." Vehicle theft was the only other crime to rise. Thieves stole 63 cars in the first half of the year, up from 50 in the first six months of 1991. However, Onstott said authorities expect the theft rate to taper off because police recently arrested several people in a motorcycle and car theft ring operating in Houston. All other major crimes decreased in the first half of 1992 compared to the same period last year: ■ Robberies fell 66 percent from 15 to five: ■ Aggravated assault fell from 37 to 24. ■ Burglaries decreased 15.6 percent from 397 to 335. ■ Theft fell from 710 to 682. ■ There has not been a homicide in College Station since 1989. Driving while intoxicated arrests also fell. Police arrested 130 drunk drivers so far this year, compared with 157 in the same period last year. "I think it has a lot to do with people using designated drivers," Onstott said. "We haven't cut back on our enforce- ment. I think people are getting the mes- sage." Onstott attributed the overall decrease in crime to increased vigilance by citi- zens. "People are paying more attention and not giving the criminals an opportunity," he said. Bryan crime statistics fnr the first six months of this year are expected Friday. • Friday, July 10, 1992 The Eagle in Town Vexa s CS City Council taps Arlington company for industrial park plans By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer The College Station City Council took another step toward the dream of a city -owned industrial park on Thursday, approving a $58,500 con- tract wit Schrickel- Rollins & Associ- ates of Arlington for plans for the 200 -acre park. Once the preliminary work is done, the company will get a percentage of the total construction costs. The com- pany will give the council options on what kinds of park the city can build and the costs involved. "It will be up to us to decide if we want just a sign that says 'Will divide to suit — BR -549' or if we want a Las Colinas, with waterfalls and marble gutters, said Elrey Ash, the city's di- rector of development services. City officials are trying to get the park, located on Texas 6 south of Greens Prairie Road, onto the drawing board as quickly as possible.

And the the College Station Commu- nity Appearance Committee continues to struggle to find a way to keep both the native -plant lovers and the mani- cured -lawn -set happy. The committee held a public hearing Monday to take comments on the city's current weed ordinance. City planner Jim Callaway presented the crowd of about 60 with three possible options for improving the ordinance. The ordinance is a cause of concern because many property owners in Col- lege Station say they like their lawn to have a natural look, preserving native plants and cutting down on watering. But others say that many of the yards with the natural look are a health ha- zard because of fire ants, mosquitoes, rats and other pests. Many at the hear- ing on Monday complained of allergies caused by the wild flowers. Alternative No. 1 would keep the or- dinance much like it is, Callaway said. There would be a 12 -inch height limit on grass, and no wild flowers could be grown within 100 feet of a property line or 5o feet of a building. All concentra- tions of wild flowers would have to be cut by June 15. Alternative No. 2 would allow natural landscaping with few restrictions. Nat- ural areas would have to managed, with a list of indicator species being developed. If any of the plants on the list showed up, it would be an indica- tion that the area was being neglected. A review panel would be set up to handle appeals. Alternative No. 3 would be a hybrid of the Nos. 1 and 2, with natural lands- caping allowed, but not allowing the natural landscape to mix with the lawn. A limit on lawn height would remain. Ann Hunter, who says she lives next to someone who grows wild flowers in the yard, said that when things you want to do affect those around you, you don't have the right to do it. "The seeds blow into other yards," she complained. "My yard is a mess now. I tried pulling [the wild flowers] out, but I couldn't keep up." Jim Murphrey said that the trend was going to be toward native plants, which require less care and need no chemicals. "If you don't believe me go down University Drive," he said, talking about the trees planted in the median of University, between Texas Avenue and Texas A &M. "Instead of planting native plants which would last a lifetime, they planted something that will last tw years." The committee will use the informa- tion gathered at the hearing to make a recommendation to the College Station City Council. y ::81 (D� t7J(D w to (D 1< G to rt a N Local crime fighters turn J out for National Night Out By CHUCK SQUATRIGLIA Eagle staff writer About 200 local residents turned out at Tuesday night's National Night Out party at Col- lege Station Central Park to help police fight crime. "Most people think this is just a police job," said Bryan resident Robert Espinoza as he and his wife watched their children com- pete in a coloring contest. "But everyone has to be a part of secur- ity in their city." That's the point local police hoped to make at the party. National Night Out is an annual nationwide event aimed at getting people to meet their neighbors and learn how to prevent crime. "We try to get people to get to know their neighbors," said Col- lege Station Lt. Bernie Kapella. "It's been proven that that's one of the best ways to fight crime. We also want to show people that they can make a difference." The party offered something for everyone. Children played with McGruff, the crime dog, competed in a coloring contest and watched a drug - sniffing dog find narcotics hidden in cars. Their parents learned about such crime preven- tion programs as Operation ID and the importance of dead -bolt locks and other security devices. Police also were promoting the Neighborhood Watch program, in which neighbors work together to prevent and report crime. There Please see NIGHT, page A3 Eagle photo/ Peter Rocha College Station police Lt.

"It seems like it makes a differ- ence," Espinoza said. He said people are more likely to watch out for each other and report sus- picious activity if they know who their neighbors are. Besides the large party at Cen- tral Park, several Neighborhood Watch neighborhoods held small- er block parties throughout the county.

Visitors will to see get the work- shop, usually held on Wednesday, tacked on to the front of Thursday's agenda. Members of the city staff will pre- sent council members with a pro- posed budget for 1992 -93. The city's budget office, led by Charles Cryan, was still crunching numbers on Monday. A complete document probably won't -ready until Wednesday, Cryan said. In earlier budget hearings, staff members recommended to council members that the city's rates for gar- bage collection, sewer treatment and water go up in the next budget year. Members of the staff also said that electricity rates are expected to go down. No mention of the city's property tax rate has been made in earlier budget talks. Council members have scheduled a Sept. 1 budget workshop to change the budget as they see necessary. The council will meet at 6 p.m. in the College Station City Hall, 110' Texas Ave. S. . CS staff recommends property tax increase By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer College Station city staff members have recommended that the City Council raise property tax rates by three cents. The increases in property taxes and other city fees and rates are necessary for several reasons, said City Manager Ron Ragland in a budget cover letter. The city needs more money to: ■Meet federal and state regulations for landfill operations. ■ Support the increased demand for services due to growth in the city. ■ Pay for increases in operational costs resulting from capital improvements ap- proved by College Station voters in 1990. Voters approved $3 million for road improvements and $1 million for park improvements. City officials said at the time that for every $1 million in bond projects approved, a one -cent increase in property taxes would be necessary. Ragland's letter also expressed the staff's concern about the source of reven- ues for the general fund. Only 8.3 percent of the 1991 -92 general fund budget comes from property taxes, Ragland said, with the majority, 40 percent, coming from sales taxes. "A 10 percent reduction in sales tax would require a 7.5 cent increase in the Friday, August 14, 1992 The Eagle ad valorem rate," he said. When all budget categories are put together, the proposed budget calls for an 8 percent increase — $4.8 million — in total expenditures. The landfill fund will get a large chunk of that, going from a 1199192 level of about $700,000 to a 1992.93 level of $1.8 million. The general fund expenditures would increase by $1.5 million, with the addi- tion of a warrant officer, a cost accoun- tant, a traffic control officer for the Police Department, a grant coordinator in the community development office, an irri- gation specialist, an energy auditor and a facility maintenance technician. Capital improvements would come in the form of a waterslide for the Adamson Pool, five new radar detectors and $30,000 worth of beepers for the College Station Fire Department. The staff presented the proposed budget to College Station City Council members at 6 p.m. Thursday. Charles Cryan, the city's chief budget officer, dis- tributed copies of the document literally hot off the pf esses. The budget books are printed at City Hall and the pages were still warm. Council members will discuss any changes in the proposed budget when they meet on Sept. 1. A time and place for the workshop has not been set. 11 0 THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION IS REQUESTING BIDS FOR THE FOLLOWING: INFRARED THERMOGRA- PHIC SCAN AND IN- SPECTION OF ELECTRIC SYSTEM BID DEADLINE 2:00 P.M. 08/28/92, BID #92 -57 The Request for bids will be recieved in the office of the Purchasing Agent at City Tuesday, August 18, 1992 The Eagle 125 Legal Notices Hall, 1101 Texas Avenue, College Station, Texas 77840, until the time and date specified above.

The College Station couple who filed the federal lawsuit — Anthony Renfroe and Joni Harrison— said the officers used excessive force during the Sept. 25 arrests. Both officers resigned without explanation within seven months of the incident. The law- suit claims the city didn't adequately train its officers on the use of force and how to respond to family violence situations. Harrison — a Texas A &M journalism stu- dent at the time — said that being in jail caused her to miss an exam and delayed her graduation. Renfroe said the excessive force caused permanent damage to his hand from being handcuffed roughly and that he now has sinus problems because the officers repeated- ly sprayed mace in his face. Officers Milton Parker and Jerry Gribble Jr. answered a 911 call at 10:22 p.m. for a dom- estic dispute at the couple's residence. Parker and Gribble are named in the suit filed Aug. 12 by Bryan attorney Jack Dillard in the U.S. District Court for the Southern Dis- Please see SUIT, page A5 Suit From Al trict in Houston. Parker, 31, turned in his resig- nation letter on April l — his first anniversary with the department — and quit the same day. He now lives in Humble. Gribble, 26, gave a two week no- tice before resigning Jan. 1. He had been with the department for three years and three months be- fore moving to Hopewell, Penn. Parker and Gribble did not give reasons for their departure, ac- cording to personnel records. Neither could be reached for comment. Lt. Wayne Onstott said an internal investigation was com- pleted regarding the incident, but that he couldn't comment on the outcome of the inquiry. According to the nine -page law- suit, Gribble and Parker arrived at the couple's home and were told that everything was fine. Renfroe said in the suit that he was trying to peacefully resolve the situation when Parker asked him for identification. He said he was told he would go to jail unless he gave the officers his license. Renfroe said he repeated his li- cense number several times be- fore being ordered to go to his car and get the identification card. Renfroe was afraid to leave the house and told the officer to Phone in the license number and check it out, according to the law - suit. The lawsuit said Parker told Renfroe he was going to jail, then sprayed mace in his face. Harr- ison, who married Renfroe in November, said she screamed at Police to stop because they were hurting her boyfriend, but was handcuffed as Renfroe ran to the kitchen sink to splash water in his face. Parker pulled him back from the sink, handcuffed him and con - ` tinued to spray mace in Renfroe's face as Gribble pushed Harrison to the floor, handcuffed her left wrist, "looked into her eyes" and sprayed mace in her face, accord- ing to the lawsuit. Harrison said Gribble dragged her outside, threw her down on the car and shoved her into the back seat, bashing her ear on the car door. The lawsuit said Ren- froe was dragged to the car as officers continued to spray mace u 11 Friday, August 21, 1992 The Eagle the ciir ut- COLLEGE STATION IS REQUESTING BIDS FOR THE FOLLOWING: PURCHASE, INSTALLA- TION AND MAINTENANCE OF VARIOUS PLANTS AND MATERIALS BID DEADLINE 2:00 P.M. 09/04/92, BID #92-56 The Request for bids will be recieved in the office of the Purchasing Agent at City Hall, 1101 Texas Avenue, College Station, Texas 77840, until the time and date specified above.

The meeting begins at 4 p.m., in College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S. Some agencies, such as the Brazos Health Department, already receive city funding. Others, like the Bryan De- velopment Foundation, are seeking fund- ing from College Station for the first time. The BDF is asking for funds for the Business Technology Center, located in the old Bryan City Hall. Six small research companies are being forced out because of the old building's condition. The BDF proposes that the companies move to a site on E. 29th Street, where it will be managed by the Bryan- College Station Small Business Development Council. Other agencies seeking funds are: ■Brazos Beautiful. • The Arts Council of Brazos Valley. ■The College Station Noon Lions Club, for its annual July 4th fireworks show. ■The Brazos Valley Council on Alco- hol and Substance Abuse.

At their Thursday meeting, the College Station City Council decided to allow fer- rets to be kept as pets inside the city lim- its, and approved residence permits for a pygmy goat, a baby calf and some chick- ens and rabbits. The goat's name reportedly is Shhxer Bock. The names of the other animals were not available. The council also increased permit fees on animals other than dogs and cats from $25 to $30. City staff members recommended that ferrets not be allowed in households with children weighing fewer than 40 pounds, because there have cases of ferrets biting and even killing children. Roseanne Bishop, a third -year veter- inary student at Texas A &M, said she was concerned with the "welfare of the ferrets," and pointed out several ferret fallacies. "Ferret bites are low in comparison to dogs' and cats'," she said. "There is no biting issue, there is no rabies issue. What is the issue ?" Ferrets deserve the same rights as other animals, she argued. Councilwoman Nancy Crouch made the motion to approve the amendment, but delete the 40- pound -child require- ment. Councilwoman Lynn McIlhaney seconded and the motion passed, 4 -1. CS council OKs impact fees for newly annexed property By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer To put it roughly, it will cost $152.18 per family to add sewer service to the newly annexed portion of College Station, along Graham Road. The College Station City Council on Thursday approved an impact fee for the extension of sewer service to the area along Graham Road. The fee is based on what it will cost to extend service to the new area. A single family dwelling has a living unit equiva- lent of one, but a duplex would use twice as much sewer capacity and has an LUE of two. The fee was determined by figuring what the land uses for the area will be and what it will cost to bring service to the area. Steve Arden of Brazosland Realty praised the approach as a good way to spread out the cost of sewer line exten- sions. In the past, a developer would pay for extending the service, then have someone tap into the end of the line with- out paying any of the cost of the original extension. Local homebuilder Sherman Click said that it wasn't such a good deal for home - builders, because most likely the builder would end up absorbing the fee.

The meeting will be at 1:30 p.m. in the city's Utility Service Center, 1601 S. Gra- ham Road. It is not known when the meeting will end; the council has not set a time for wrapping up budget deliberations. Council members have some idea of what they will be looking at Members of the city staff have given them a proposed budget that calls for a 3 -cent property tax increase. The proposed increase would pay for the projects approved by College Station voters in the December 1990 bond elec- tion, when voters approved selling bonds for street and park improvements. The budget also calls for an increase in the city's wastewater and garbage collec- tion rates. The rate increases are associ- ated with new federal and state rules covering landfill operation and waste water treatment. Electricity rates are expected to remain the same. A 3-cent tax increase would take the city's property tax rate from 40 cents to 43 cents per $100 of evaluation. The increase would mean the owners of a $75,000 house would pay $22.50 more in city taxes per year. It's possible that the council will find programs or capital improvements that the staff members have not recom- mended. The council would then have the option of deleting some of the staff's rec- ommendations or adding to the tax rate. • • 125 Legal Notices INSTRUCTION TO BIDDERS 11.0 ADVERTISMENT Sealed bids addressed to the City of College Station, Texas will be received for the construction of: Emerald Parkway Streets - cape until 2:00 o'clock (p.m.), Sept. 15, 1992 after which time all qualified bids will be opened and read.

The council also held a public hearing on the proposed property tax rate of 41.25 cents per $100 property valuation. Council members are scheduled to con- sider adopting the tax rate at their Sept. 24 meeting. The new budget is $4.8 million larger than the current budget of $61.1 million. Before councilmembers voted to adopt the new budget, 10 people spoke in support of the clinic and asked the panel to reconsider its decision not to fund the clinic. The clinic provides prenatal and postpartum care for low - income women and children. Members of the clinic's board of directors had asked the council Friday, September 11, 1992 The Eagle Inside ■ Council views business park plans./ A9 for $31,000 from federal Commu- nity Development Block Grant funds that the city disburses to social service groups in the area. College Station has given the clinic $396,000 over the past seven years. The council made a de- cision during a budget retreat last week not to fund the clinic this year. Thursday night, the clinic's di- rector said she doubted the city of Bryan would fund a similar $31,000 request for the clinic if College Station turned down the request. Mary Ellen Pate also said the state may stop funding the clinic if the cities don't show support for the program. That could cause the clinic to close, she said. Please see BUDGET, page A4 k Budget From Al Councilmembers were unani- mous in their praise for the clinic and its programs, saying the clinic is needed in Brazos County. But the council has a policy of not funding social service organiza- tions with block grant funds for more than three years, several councilmembers said. The funds are meant as "seed money" to help the organizations get started, concilmembers said. The panel has already funded the clinic for two three -year periods under different programs and then extended funding for another year. "It's not fair to the other agen- cies — who requested about $300,000 worth of very worthwhile social service funding — to single out the prenatal clinic as the only recipient because of political pressure from their supporters," councilwoman Nancy Crouch said. One resident spoke during the hearing on the proposed tax rate, which is 1 V4 cents per $100 valua- tion higher than the current 40 -cent tax rate. Dick Startsman said he hasn't seen any justification for a tax in- crease. Crouch said the city hasn't passed a tax increase in five or six years and part of the increase is due to programs mandated by the state and federal governments but are funded by the city. The increase would mean the owner of a $75,000 house would pay about $309.38 in taxes, or about $9.38 more than under the current rate.

During a two -hour workshop session, Hershel Lindly showed councilmem- bers four conceptual drawings of the park's layout.. All the drawings were based on a 250 -acre park, 50 acres more than the park comprises now. Lindly, vice president of Arlington -based Schrickel, Rollins and Associate, recommended that councilmembers obtain an addi- tional 50 -acre tract on the south end of the current park. The layout of the larger park will al- low better traffic flow and will give the city more marketable space, Lindly said. He also presented a landscaping plan that would use 36 acres for ponds, walk- ing trails, and recreational areas such as volleyball and tennis courts. Councilmembers indicated that they wanted Lindly to proceed with the plans he recommended.

Box 9960, College Station, Texas 77842 has applied to the Texas Water Commission for renewal of Permit No. 10024 -01 which authorizes a discharge of treated domestic wastewater effluent at a volume not to exceed an average flow of 4,900,000 gallons per day. The Carters Creek WWTP -1 Wastewater Treatment Facilities are adja- cent to the west side of Carters Creek approximately 0.75 miles east of the State Highway 6 Bypass, and approximately 4000 feet north and 1800 feet east of the intersection of State Highway No. 6 East Bypass and Texas Avenue in Brazos County, Texas. The effluent Is discharged into Carters Creek; thence to the Navasota River in Segment No. 1209 of the Bra- zos River Basin. In accordance with the Texas Surface Water Qua- Illy Standards, the Commission staff must determine the existing uses for the receiving water in the area of the proposed discharge and wether the proposed discharge will cause significant degradation to any high quality waters in the area. The unclassified re- ceiving waters of Carters Creek have limited aquatic life uses. The designated uses for Segment No. 1209 are contact recreation, high quality aquatic life uses and public water supply. The effluent limitations in the draft permit will maintain and protect the existing in- stream uses. Al determinations are preliminary and subject to additional review and /or revision. The Executive Director of the Texas Water Commis- sion has prepared a draft permit which, if approved by the Commission, will enforce more strngent effluent limitations and requirements in order to meet existing applicable rules and regulations. It is proposed that the expiration date of the renewed permit be specified as midnight, five years after date of Commission ap- proval.

Vasquez, Chief Clerk Texas Water Commission 09 -22 -92 • CS City Council agrees on lower tax increase to By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer Taxpayers in College Station got a de- crease in their increase on Wednesday. The College Station City Council will hold a public hearing on Sept. 10 on the city's 1992 -93 tax rate. While early indica- tions were that the council would raise taxes by at least 3 cents per $100 valua- tion, council members agreed Monday that the public hearing will be for a I Y4 -cent tax increase. The lower increase could cost electric- ity customers in the future. To get under the staff proposed 3 -cent figure, council members agreed to nullify their policy of capping transfers from utility funds at 9.5 percent of the general fund budget. The consensus on Wednesday was for transfers from utilities to make up 10 percent of the general fund budget. The one -half percent increase will transfer about $200,000 more from the electric fund than originally planned. The 1 t14 -cent tax increase would make up the rest of the revenues needed to meet the staff proposed 1992 -93 budget. With the decision to publicize the pub- lic hearing, the council can't pass a tax rate higher than 1 V4 cents. Council mem- bers can approve a lower rate. Tuesday, September, 1992 The Eagle A 1'14 -cent tax increase would mean a $9.38 annual increase in city property taxes on a $75,000 home. The decision to hold the line at 1t/4 cents came after nine hours of presen- tations, discussions, debate and arguing. Council member Lynn McIlhaney made the motion to revoke the council's policy on utility transfers just after 9 p.m. The utility transfer is supposed to rep- resent what a private utility company would pay in taxes on the value of the electric system. Before 9 p.m., the argument had been what to include in the budget, and where to set the tax rate. Council members McIlhaney and Nancy Crouch, and Mayor Larry Ringer, tried to add items to the budget that would have raised the rate higher than the proposed 3 cents. But council mem- bers Hubbard Kennady, Fred Brown and Vernon Schneider kept negating any consideration of the extra personnel and projects that would have made the in- crease necessary. A few votes ended up in 3 -3 ties because Councilman Jim Gardner left the budget discussions at about 7:30 p.m. "Life is too short," Gardner said, grab- bing his budget notebook and heading for the door.

The City Council voted unanimously on Thursday to set the tax rate for the 1992 -93 budget year at 41 Y4 cents per $100 valuation. That will mean a $9.38 increase in city property taxes for the owner of a $75,000 house. The increase is the first for College Station since 1987 when the rate went from 38 to 40 cents. City officials estimate that property taxes will generate $4.7 million. A little more than $3 million of that will go to fund the city's debt service. The rest of property tax revenues go toward the city's general fund budget. Property taxes make up only about 9 percent of the city's revenues for the general fund. Almost 40 per- cent of the general fund budget comes from sales tax revenues, with about 20 percent coming from trans- fers from the utility fund. The original staff recommendation was for a tax rate of 43 cents per $100. But the staff left the council with other options, including changing the council's The [property tax] increase is the first for College Station since 1987. policy on transfers from the electric fund. During the city's budget summit, council mem- bers overturned a policy that no more than 9.5 per- cent of any utility fund could be moved to the gen- eral fund. At the Sept. 2 budget retreat, the council decided that taking an additional one half of 1 percent of the electric fund, which added about $200,000 to the city budget, was better than adding 1% cents to the tax rate. That decision affects College Station citizens two ways: ■ Property taxes didn't climb as much as they might have. ■The city's trend toward lower electricity rates will slow.

The College Station school board will meet at 6 p.m. Monday to consider appro- val of a $21.3 million general Hind operat- ing budget. The meeting will be hel4 at the district's administration building, 1812 Welsh St. However, a public hearing on the pro- posed tax increase originally scheduled to precede the special session has been postponed until Sept. 16. A press release by the district cites a conflict with the Labor Day holiday. State tax law requires a public hearing because the proposed tax rate of 83 cents per $100 of property valuation exceeds the 73 -cent effective tax rate by more than 3 percent. An effective tax rate is the amount calculated to raise the same tax revenue for the district as did the preced- ing year's tax rate. The calculation compensates for changes in property valuation. Combined with the proposed 87 -cent county education district tax, College Station's total education bite would be $1.70 per $100 valuation. The current tax rate is $1.54 per $100 valuation. Other agenda items for Monday in- cludes approval of a contract with James C. Lancaster and Associates of Grapevine �o oversee the district's middle school construction projects. Plans call for renovation of Oakwood Middle School and construction of an adjacent fifth- and sixth -grade campus. In closed session, the board will meet with its attorney and representatives of the architectural group HA/RWS, based in College Station and Houston, to dis- cuss contracts for architectural services for the Oakwood renovation project. The law firm of West Adams Webb & Allbrit- ton represents the district. Addition of a bus route to serve Oak- wood Middle School students living east of Texas Avenue is also on the Monday agenda.

The program, 1 100 Trees in 100 Days," aims to raise $10,000 in dona- tions, which would be used to purchase large trees for a January planting. "We're looking at $10,000, although I think that's probably a high -end fig- ure, said Steve Beachy, director of Col- lege Station's Parks and Recreation Department. "We'll put that whole package out for bids, and hopefully we'll be able to [save some money]." Diane Craig is executive coordinator of Brazos Beautiful, a non - profit organ- ization that sponsors beautification projects in the area. Craig said that if enough donations come in, more trees could be planted at the new park. On Tuesday, workers were preparing the slab of the 2,100- square-foot stage at the amphitheater that will be the centerpiece of the 14.3 -acre park. The amphitheater, which will seat about 5,000 on grassy slopes, is at the south- ern end of a 2.6 -acre lake. The trees will be planted around the entire lake and amphitheater area. Beachy said more trees will probably be added later. Twenty -two crepe myrtles lead the list for the initial planting, which Craig said is appropriate because Bryan- College Station has bee recognized by the Legislature as the crepe myrtle capital of Texas. Other trees to be planted are 21 live oaks, 12 cedar elms, 14 Shumard oaks, 11 redbuds, 10 Bradford pears, seven bald cypresses, two pecans and one wil- low oak. Planting is scheduled to start Jan. 15, and will use primarily unteer labor. If you would like to make a contribu- tion for the trees or volunteer your time for planting, call Brazos Beautiful at 776 -6227. The park is scheduled to open March 26. It will have a covered picnic shelter and tables along the walk surrounding the lake. Those interested in using the park can get information or reserve it for specific dates on Sept. 16 at 6 p.m. in Room 127 of the College Station Confer- ence Center, Beachy said. lot� C' I, 125 Legal Notices The City of College Station will receive sealed bids on a General Contract, including site work, redwood sign, brick pavers, concrete side- walks, jogging trails, lands- cape, irrigation and wood bridge.

Recent news articles and letters to the editor have not clearly stated the facts in this situation. All of our community's elected officials must address the social needs of the community. How are we going to provide the services, and which taxing entity will be responsible for which service? The College Station City Council would like to respond to the con- cerns expressed by citizens inter- ested in this issue. Saturday, October The Eagle First, let us address the issue of the funding requests and the funds used. The letters and the news article stated that the clinic was not funded; however, the Arts Council, the Chamber of Com- merce, Easterwood Airport and Economic Development did receive funding. The implication that the council gave the arts and the chamber funding while deny- ing other worthy causes, such as the Prenatal Clinic, does not tell the whole story. The city has a number of fund- ing sources that provide revenue for the operations of the city. One source is the hotel/motel tax, which is required by the state to be used for promoting tourism and convention business in the community. A percentage of this tax may be used for the arts.

The Bryan Police Department awarded him the Life Saving Citation. Greenlee, 30, was on his way to work shortly before 2 p.m. when his police radio picked up a report of an infant on Elliott Street not breathing. Greenlee ar- rived at the house within three minutes. "I heard screaming in the house when I arrived," Greenlee said. He said he used his pocketknife to pry open the door HANEL CROSS when no one answered and found the mother inside, screaming. "She just pointed to the bedroom," Greenlee said. "I knelt down on the floor and checked the baby. I couldn't feel a heartbeat or any breathing." Greenlee started CPR. Paramedics arrived about 10 minutes later and continued CPR as they raced the girl to the hospital. Greenlee said a doctor later told him he probably saved BOARD CAPPS the girl's life.

The first company will probably make an announcement before Christmas, said Robert Worley, executive director of the EDC. Those companies include: Stericycle, a medical waste recycler; Skip Shaving Products, which produces shaving pro- ducts for men; a tire recycler; an oilfield transportation company and a builder of pre- engineered builings. Stericycle is based in Chicago and is constructing a number of waste recycling plants nationwide. The company had o- riginally considered Waco and Temple, as well as College Station, for sites. Worley said Waco and Temple are now off the site list. Skip Shaving Products, also based in Chicago, is owned by James Parhms, who is a native of Bryan- College Station. He plans to move his entire plant to the area and will employ about 40 people initially. Mexican investors are the source of funding for two of those companies, the tire recycler and the building manufac- turer. Sam Harwell, acting director of the Bryan- College Station Small Business Development Center, said the Mexico in- vestors contacted the SBDC. Both companies have local owners. The building company, called Simpli- fied Structures, is a "homegrown" busi- ness, owned by Rob Riccitelli and Gerald Townsend. The metal buildings will be manufac- tured in Saltillo and distributed from Wellborn, said Harwell. The owners hope to announce their opening by the end of the year, he said. The tire recycling company is also lo- cally owned, but the owners aren't ready to announce their plans. • Wolf Pen Creek could may some other problems 11 PUBLIC NOTICE The City of College Station and the City of Bryan Com- munity Development Offices will hold a Public Hearing re- garding the Annual Update for the Comprehensive Hous- ing Affordability Strategy (CHAS).

For those who may not be, the real name is ant lion. Webster explains it as "any of various neuropterous in- sects having long -jawed larva that digs a conical pit in which it lies in wait to catch insects (ants) on which it feeds." If you would like to see a people - size version of this, you are in luck. The city of College Station is in the process of building a huge child trap at the corner of Dart- mouth and Holleman: Wolf Pen Creek. It has great sloping walls all around, waiting for one slip of a young foot to plummet some un- suspecting child deep into the cold dark water. I suggest they either change the name to Doodlebug Park, with an "Enter at your own risk" sign, or maybe they could terrace the walls to take danger away from the children possibly falling non- stop all the way down into the water. Another thing that they could do is install some handrails at the water's edge that would stop someone from rolling into the water. Someone had better stop and look at the ultimate stupidity of what they are constructing. Pos- sibly there is a liability aspect that could get their attention.

It was refreshing to see that we had at least two think- ing councilmen, Hub Kennady and Fred Brown, who voted against the purchase of the land.

On Oct. 21, the city of College Station held their annual awards banquet at the Texas Hall of Fame. Ap- proximately 1,000 people attended — employees and families. I am sure everyone had a good time. It is ironic that the event was catered by a firm out of Taylor. With as many barbecue restau- rants as we have in College Sta- tion, why Taylor? Do they pay taxes in College Station? Assum- ing that the cost was $5 per head, and using the Bryan- College Sta- tion Chamber of Commerce fig ures that a dollar spent here turns over seven times in a community, then Mayor Ringer contributed $35,000 to the city of Taylor. Yes, politicians are politicians. We voters and taxpayers will not forget what the mayor does with our tax dollars. JIM G ON Colleg ion College Station should have funded clinic I'm writing this letter with re- gard to the sad decision of the Col- lege Station City Council not to fund the prenatal clinic. I feel the need to express the ut- ter chagrin, shame and dis- appointment I have felt toward my elected officials in this matter. This is a rare feeling for me (after 30 years of working with and observing our councils in ac- tion), and the sadness and dis- appointment is even greater when such a viable, successful, largely volunteer, money- saving service was not given the financial sup- port it so truly needs and deserves from College Station, of all places.

Thursday, November 26, 1992 The Eagle Street crews ready for no slip -ups in cold weather By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer r A certain song speaks of the splendor of walking in a winter wonderland, but there are no songs describing the pleasures of driving in winter. Hence, the people with the job; €, � Nn of making sure roads are passable are getting ready for inclement v weather. College Station city crews spent 3 x part of Wednesday afternoon put-I t :i ting a spreader on one of the city's dump trucks, said Billy Watson, the city's street foreman. The truck was loaded with "ice x chips," which are BB -sized pellets of limestone, Watson said. Once spread, the limestone helps give friction on ice. The city has about 350 tons of chips on hand. The city will also buy UPM an Eagle photo/ Bill Meeks College Station Public Service Dept. employees, from left, Miguel pare signs to warn travelers and fit a sand truck with a spreader to Please see WINTER, page A3 Puente, Mike Maddox and Edmond Sikorski on Wednesday pre- sand bridges in College Station.

Companies don't produce the substance until the cold weather starts, Watson explained. The cold -mix — as opposed to hot -mix, which is used to fix potholes — is spread by shovel. The mix easily sticks to ice and water, Watson said. College Station workers will know exactly where to go when the word is given to treat the roads. "We treat the area around Hu- mana Hospital first," Watson Winter weather precautions Local residents should take proper precautions to deal with the cold weather expected over the next few days. Temperatures in the area are expected to be below freezing to- night, Friday and Saturday nights. Shelter should be provided for livestock and outside pets. Ex- posed outdoor water pipes should be wrapped and plants should be moved indoors. said. "Then we do the area in front of the Police Department and then the areas in front of the fire stations. If it's a work day, we'll do the parking lot at City Hall and the lot at the municipal service center." Along the way, major intersec- tions are also treated, he said. In comparison, Bryan takes a decidedly "low- tech" approach. "If there's ice, we'll spread sand from the back of trucks," said Howard Huggins, Bryan's direc- tor of transportation. Huggins said the small amount of ice and snow doesn't warrant spending a lot of money on special equipment. "I'm more concerned with the damage the rain has done to the streets, not what ice might do," he said. The city does have three pieces of machinery that could move snow in a pinch, Huggins said. "And we've bought chains for all the trucks, so that they can get around," he said. The weekend forecast calls for cold — but dry — weather. - - o I - - - -- The City of Coffede Station cordia.CCy invites you to its Annual en House & Christmas Fudvaf 1 A toffection of Memories Thursday, December 3, 1992 College Station Conference Center 3 -7 p.m. Come and Go 1300 George Bush Drive exhibits, hors d'oeuvres, entertainment ENTERTAINMENT SCHEDULE COME ENJOY THE COMPANY OF FRIENDS _ AND A COLLECTION OF MEMORIES Emcee ...................... ...............................

The first was the editorial concerning the purchase of prop- erty for the Wolf Pen Creek project. The defeat of the bond election for Phase II should have sent a clear message to the city council that the voters of College Station do not want any more funds spent on this project. If the council members voting for this new purchase are so stu- pid that they do not understand the desires of the people, they should not be in office. On the other hand, if they are so arrogant that the desires of the people mean nothing to them, then they should not be in office. The voters should remember this at the next election. The other editorial concerned the cries of "foul" by Rep. Ron Wilson. Insofar as it went, the edi- torial was well thought out. It did, however, overlook the climate in which we now live. That climate is much like the McCarthy era wherein accusation is conviction, be it sexism, racism or dealing with homosexual issues. I submit that Rep. Wilson was Wednesday, December 2, 1992 The Eagle due no apology by President Mo- bley, and that he started this whole chain of events simply for his own exposure in the media. If he is to continue in politics, he had better become accustomed to being lampooned.

"It's for folks in Washington and Aus- tin to make rules when we have to take the heat," he said. "We just raised our so- lid waste rates by over 50 percent, and almost all of it was to meet new federal guidelines." Fields said that he would hold town meetings in Brazos County as soon as possible, maybe in late January. Fields' name has surfaced in published reports as a possible candidate for U.S. Senate should U.S. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen be appointed to a Cabinet position by Presi- dent -elect Bill Clinton. Fields said that, for now, he is happy where he is. "I'm enjoying Brazos County," Fields said. "The people have made me feel like a native. I'm looking forward to repre. senting the area." Friday, December 4, 1992 The Eagle Fields says he's learning on the job Local leaders ask for more funding and less meddling By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer U.S. Rep. Jack Fields said he is still learning and asked local leaders to help him focus on his job and be effective. Fields, R- Humble, begins representing Washington County and most of Brazos County in January. He met with Brazos County leaders Thursday at the Brazos Center. "There is no manual on how to be a good congressman," Fields said. "I try to meet people and learn. Fields said that the committees he serves on should provide a good fit for the interests of the community. Fields serves on the energy and commerce committee and is the ranking Re- publican on the tele- communications sub- committee. Telecom- munications is impor- tant whenever you talk about technology, he said, and technology is always important to FIELDS Texas A &M. Fields also serves on the health and ha- zardous waste and the energy and power - subcommittees of the energy and com- merce committee. He is the top Republi- can on the merchant marine and fish- , eries committee, which deals with en- dangered species. Brazos County Judge R.J. "Dick" ' - f. Holmgreen wanted to know what Fields could do to improve the highways in the area. , "A lot of times we lose an economic de velopment opportunity because of our poor highway system," Holmgreen said. Fields asked for a copy of whatever plans had been devised for the area and said he would see what he could do. One person in the audience asked that the federal government simply leave the people of Brazos County alone, thus keep- ing taxes down. Fields said he votes against most ap- propriations bills, but once the bills pass, he thinks it's his job to get some of the money for the people of Texas. "You'd be a fool not to try to bring some of the money back home," he said. • (114 � The City of College Station is currently seeking: T.C.L.E.O.S.E.

The plan would analyze the im- mediate, five -year, and 10 -year space requirements for the services housed in the College Station City Hall. If hired, the company would make a r ecommendation on whether the city should: ■Move the city hall complex to an- other part of the city. ■Move some of the city's services. ■ Or keep the complex as it is. The estimated cost of the study is $38,000.

The consultant would advise the city on the immediate, short -range and long - range future of City Hall. Staff members are recommending that HKS Inc. of Dal- las be hired to evaluate the city's choices. Linda Piwonka, the city's executive di- rector of management services, told the council at Wednesday's workshop that the current City Hall complex, including the Central Fire Station and the Commu- nity Development Department, has 130 employees. The complex has 130 parking spaces, causing a squeeze for the city's customers. City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S., is no longer in a central part of the city, Piw- onka said, and the planned widening of Texas Avenue will affect the utility de- partment's drive -in window. A 1989 study indicated that some city A 1989 study indicated that some city services would need to be moved from City Hall by 1993. services would need to be moved from City Hall by 1993, she said. The question is whether the city would better spend its money expanding the current site, mov- ing completely or move some depart- ments. The north end of the main City Hall complex is designed to have two more floors stacked on top, for a total of four floors. Piwonka said the expansion — just the outside walls — would cost about $1.2 million, and there would still be a parking problem. The council's meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at City Hall. An executive session of the council will be held at 6:30 p.m. - thursday, December 10, 1992 The Eagle CS city council decides to do without consultant Staff will make recommendations after initiative's failure By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer The College Station City Council on Thursday rejected a proposal to hire a Dallas consultant to assess the city's space needs for the City Hall complex. At Wednesday's council workshop, the consensus seemed to be for hiring HKS Inc. of Dallas to evaluate the city's choices. But Thursday, on a 4 -3 vote, the council decided not to spend the $38,000. "I couldn't believe it," said College Sta- tion Mayor Larry Ringer Friday. "I knew [Councilman] Hubbard [ Kennady] op- posed it, but the surprise was when Jim [Gardner] and Vernon [Schneider] voted no." Neither Gardner nor Schneider could be reached for comment Friday. Kennady was not at Wednesday's workshop, but sent a letter saying the study should be done by the city staff. Councilman Fred Brown joined Ken - nady, Schneider and Gardner in voting against hiring a consultant. Ringer and Councilwomen Nancy Crouch and Lynn McIlhaney voted for the consultant. The city's staff is certainly talented enough to do the study, Ringer said, but they don't have the time. "I don't think they can be objective," I don t think [city staff] can be objective. They'll have built -in biases." LARRY RINGER College Station mayor he said. "They'll have built -in biases." Ringer said he is planning a council re- treat to discuss the staff s workload. Traffic in areas of City Hall with a lot of customers, like the utility billing de- partment, is getting to the point where city employees are getting in each other's way, Ringer said. The parking at the complex, 1101 Texas Ave. S., is barely suf- ficient for city employees, much less cus- tomers, he said. City staffers will now make a recom- mendation on the future of the City Hall complex. The city has three choices: move City Hall, add on to the present complex or move some of the city's de- partments to another location. Kennady could not be reached for comment on Friday.

"Four or five studies have been done over the years," said Delton Kitrell, assistant district engineer for the Bryan district of the Texas DOT, "but they've never been tied together. It will probably be done by an independent consultant that has not been involved in the project before." The Federal Highway Adminis- tration has said that it will pick up part of the cost of the new study, Kittrell said, with the state paying for the remainder. It will be relatively easy to up- date the old studies, Kittrell said, by plugging in the latest traffic and growth figures. The effect the Bush Presidential Library, on George Bush Drive between Wellborn and FM 2818, will also have to be measured, he said. In 1990, a $40 million project, commonly referred to as LoTrak, was on the verge of being built, but College Station voters re- jected a bond proposal that would have put the city on the hook for $3 million in right-of-way pur- chases. The highway department is already considering ways to build a grade separation at Bush and Wellborn without building the entire project, Kittrell said. But the state obviously would like to 1992 avoid building something that may have to be destroyed later for another project, he said. The Bush grade- separation project is not funded, Kittrell said. Kittrell said the consultant will probably be hired after Jan. 1. But doing a study and getting a plan is not the same as getting it built, Kittrell warned. "Austin has said that it is a via- ble project, after we get all our ducks in a row," he said. "Then LoTrak From Al they'll fund it." But some questions remain. What the new study recommend? Will it favor relocating the tracks out of the corridor? Will it favor lowering the tracks in their pre- sent location? And who will pay for how much of the project? The city of Bryan has $2.9 mil- lion, approved by the voters in 1984, for a grade separation at Villa Maria and Wellborn roads. Texas A &M pledged $6.6 million to the project in 1990. The Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation, the forer- unner of the Texas Department of Transportation, was ready with about $25 million. When College Station voters said that they wouldn't pay the $3 million, the cities, Texas A &M, the Bryan- College Station Cham- ber of Commerce and the Metro- politan Planning Organization began looking for a different way to get around the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks that divide A &M's West Campus from the main campus. • • NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The College Station Zoning Board of Adjustment will consider a variance request by Clarke & Wyndham Realty to the drainage ordinance al- lowing certain encroach ments into the floodway on part of lot 1 , block 1 of Sutton Place Subdivision; generally located on the southwest corner of Holleman and the East By Pass in the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor.

Sabine Kuenzel I Staff Planner 12 -23 -9 • Cops' wish list for 1 More officers, less overcrowding By CHUCK SQUATRIGLIA Eagle staff writer The problems facing police stay the same from year to year; only the battle plan changes. Drugs, prison overcrowding and man- power shortages remain law enforce- ment's biggest problems, and local de- partments have several goals they hope to accomplish in 1993. "Our problems have not gone away and they have not changed," said Charles Phelps, Bryan police chief. "We have made some progress in drug enforce- ment. Our plans are to keep the pressure on. We can do very little in the way of prison overcrowding. But if we can get some help with that, some of our crime problems will go away." Maintaining the department's accredi- tation remains the top goal for Edgar Feldman, College Station police chief. The department was accredited in 1991 and must be reaccredited in 1994. To be sure that happens, the department must stay in compliance with 944 standards set by the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies. The stand- ards cover everything from officer ap- pearance to training and procedural polices to budgetary and financial mat- ters. Accreditation requires the department to keep up with the latest developments in all areas of law enforcement and in- fluences other gods in the department, Feldman said. "Working toward reaccreditation real- ly effects everything we do," Feldman said. "It makes you strive to reach those other goals. The bottom line is it helps us strive for professionalism." Although major crime continues to de- PHELPS cline, police grow busier each year. Calls have increased about 10 percent per year for the past three or four years, police re- port. "We've got to have some additional help," Phelps said. "Our calls for service are going up. We need to put more offi- cers on the street to prevent crime." Phelps plans to add five patrol officers in the next few months. Overall, he'd like to add 20 new officers in the next few years. "We're working toward that long -term goal," he said. "You've got to take a few at a time and work toward that goal." Bryan has about 1.5 officers for every FELDMAN 1,000 citizens. Ideally, a city like Bryan should have about two officers for every 1,000 citizens, Phelps said. College Station police hope to have seven more of Icers by the end of 1994. They added two in 1992 and will add more in 1993, Feldman said. Feldman said he wants to implement an "overhire" program where the de- partment always has three more officers than needed. Overhiring would soften the blow of attrition, through which the de- partment loses between seven and nine officers annually. A new computer system, the Automatic Fingerprint Identification System, will make it easier for local police to fight crime. The Texas Department of Public Safety has chosen Bryan as one of a hand- ful of cities to receive one of the com- puters, Phelps said. It should be installed by Aug. 30. The system, which will be available to local law enforcement agencies, stores thousands of fingerprints in its memory. Police can enter a print into the system, which will match them to a list of possi- ble suspects. In the past, detectives had to examine scores of suspect cards to match prints to a suspect. The computer will save time and money and should increase the number of cases that are solved. Both departments will continue to wage their war on drugs. Bryan's Street Crime Apprehension Team has elim- inated 12 of the city's 21 "hardcore" drug dealing areas and will continue working on the remaining nine. They also have a list of 15 suspected crack houses they want to see razed. "We know we'll never completely elim- inate drugs, but it's not nearly so blatant as it used to be," Phelps said. Phelps said the department has drafted a "solicitation ordinance" that would make it illegal for a person to ask another person to buy drugs for him. The de- partment has submitted the proposal to the city attorney and hopes to see it passed in 1993. College Station police hope to expand their Drug Abuse Resistance Education program into the city's junior high schools, Feldman said. He also said he'd like to have an officer teach criminal jus- tice at A &M Consolidated High School. "That's been a personal goal of mine for several years and we're getting closer," he said. The College Station City Council will hold a public hearing to receive public in- put regarding an application for a Permit to Conduct Operations for the Discovery and Production of Oil, Gas and Associated Hydrocar- bons within the City of Col- lege Station. The applicant is Sage Energy Company, San Antonio, Texas. The proposed Drilling Site is located inside the City limits of College Station, approxi- mately 1000 feet south of Krenek Tap Road and ap- proximately 1750 feet west of S.H.6 (East Bypass), west of Central Park. The Hearing will be held in the Council Room of the Col- lege Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Avenue at the 7:00 P.M. meeting of the Council on Thursday, January 14, 1992.

Police reports show that between April 1991 and October 1992, about 35 traffic ac- cidents occurred on Texas within 150 feet of the intersection. In a letter sent to merchants on Do- minik, Edwin Hard, College Station's transportation planner, said that Texas Avenue carries 50,000 cars every day at Dominik. One percent of those cars turns on to Dominik, he said. "Prohibiting lefts on to Dominik from Texas Ave. will have an impact to the businesses along Dominik," the letter states. "Traffic from left turns off Texas accounts for from 20 to 50 percent of a business' total patronage, depending on the business." Hard expects the Texas -Bush intersec- tion to pick up the majority of the re- routed traffic, with Kyle Street traffic in- creasing 10 percent.

Pound preps potbelly dig for adoption By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer Particularly picky when it comes to pets? Perhaps a perky pig [potbelly, pardners!] will be pleasing. A stray potbelly pig will be put up for adoption today at the Bra- zos Animal Shelter. The pig, cap- tured in College Station by ani- mal control officers, has been at the shelter since Jan. 7. Kathy Bice, the shelter's direc- tor, said this is the third potbelly pig to visit the shelter in three years. Of those three, only one, Lucy, who visited last year, has been a licensed pet. The city of College Station al- lows potbelly pigs to be kept in the city limits if they have been licensed and vaccinated. The city of Bryan does not allow potbelly pigs in the city limits. Prowling porkers can be a small — and sometimes a large — prob- lem for the shelter and animal control officers. The animal shelter does not normally carry pig food, so Bice must arrange for the extra food when a pig comes to visit. Handling the animals can also be a problem, she said. The pigs have a tendency to throw their backs out when handled roughly, so the animal control officers must be careful, Bice said. Although the present penned pig seems to be a baby, the ani- mals can get to be over 100 pounds, making them tough to handle, she said. The animals tend to get rather loud when handled. "When we picked her up this morning, she oinked and went 'WEEEE WEEEE' so loud you could hear her all the way down the block," she said. When the pig arrived, it was M.B. "Rocky" Smith, College Station Animal control officer, shows off the potbelly pig found wandering in College Station on Jan. 7. The pig will be up for adoption today at the Brazos Animal Shelter. rather surly, Bice said, but daily talking and petting has made the pig more "social." "She likes to burrow under her blanket," Bice said, "and when the fan is on, she gets goose - bumps." The adoptive family can't live inside Bryan's city limits, Bice said, and they must be prepared for the problems of pig poop and have a large enough yard. The pig's price had not been set as of Wednesday. The price of all exotic animals, such as boa con- strictors or cockatoos or potbelly pigs, is set by an expert's opinion of the wholesale market price. "Our pig person hasn't come by yet," Bice said.

Sabine Kuenzel Staff Planner • Council From Al ;pease residents on Mile Drive. , The lower density of residential development was approved to ;provide a buffer for homeowners in the area. . The staff recommends that if ;the council decides to rezone the Area to allow the new store, it ;should state that the council is scrapping the land -use plan ;adopted as part of the FM 2818 Re- port. The new Bryan Wal -Mart is ;coupled with the closing of the ;Bryan Wal -Mart on Texas ;Avenue. A College Station store official said Monday that the Col- lege Station store management ;has not been told whether a new ;College Station Wal -Mart would ;mean shutting the existing store. The new College Station Wal- Mart would be about a mile from ;the College Station Wal -Mart on ;Texas Avenue, which opened in March 1988. Merchants along Dominik Drive will get their chance to re- but a city staff report at Wednes- ;day's workshop. The city's traffic planner, Ed Hard, recommended to the council on Jan. 13 that the ;city take advantage of the widen- ing of Texas Avenue to block left turns to and from Dominik where 4t intersects Texas. . If the work is done as part of the ,widening, the Texas Department 'of Transportation will pay for it. Hard recommended prohibiting the left turns because of traffic congestion and accidents. The council delayed making a decision until the first meeting of February, to allow the Dominik merchants to find a better solu- tion. The council will have two workshops on Wednesday. The Dominik issue will be discussed at the second workshop, at 5:30 p.m. The meeting was moved for the convenience of the business owners. Both meetings will be in Col- lege Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S. CS Council take up rezoning issue for new Wal -Mart By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer Retail giant Wal -Mart has its eye on a new location in College Station. But before construction can begin, the members of the College Station City Council must overturn the opinion of the city's planning and zoning commission. The commission voted 5 -2 on Jan. 21 to deny rezoning 38 acres of land near the southwest corner of the FM 2818 extension and the East Bypass. The council will consider the rezoning Thursday at its regular 7 p.m. meeting. The Arkansas -based company already has a sign on the site, an- nouncing a Supercenter. The company also has plans for a similar store in Bryan on Briar - crest Drive. Supercenters have the usual retail outlet plus a grocery store. The land is zoned residential, but the FM 2818 Report — written by city staff, members of the planning and zoning commission and the council — calls for that corridor to be commercial prop- erty, with the Wal -Mart site listed as office and medium - density res- idential. The original draft of the report called for high- density resi- dential, but was changed to ap- Please see COUNCIL, page A2 Tuesday, February 9, 1993 The Eagle 1 U.G:XkA�l. A_- G i q h%3 In Town &Texas CS Council may suspend rate hike The College Station City Council Thursday will consider suspending a rate hike by Lone Star Gas until the city gets expert advice on the appro- priateness of the hike. Lone Star filed with the city Jan. 20 for a rate increase that would bring $437,000 in additional revenue to the gas company. The city can suspend the increase for 90 days if it hires a consul- tant to study the new rate. Lone Star would pay for the rate ex- pert, at an estimated cost of $20,000. A letter from Lone Star District Manager Gary Thigpen to Mayor Larry Ringer, notifying him of the in- crease, said that the company had not had a rate hike in College Station since 1985. Since that time, revenues have become inadequate to cover operating expenses and allow a reasonable return on investment, the letter said.

Jane Kee Penior Planner 02 -10 -93 X Merchants ask CS panel to delay decision on prohibiting left turns at intersection By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer Dominik Drive merchants asked the College Station City Council on Wednesday to again delay a decision on prohibiting left turns to and from that street at Texas Avenue. But only two council members, Fred Brown and Nancy Crouch, said at Wednesday's workshop that they wanted to delay the de- cision. The council first discussed the idea of prohibiting the left turns Jan. 13, but tabled the matter un- til Wednesday to allow the mer- chants to present a rebuttal to the city staffs suggestion. Charles Speer, representing Jerry J. Moore, who owns Cul- pepper Plaza, said that a Houston traffic consultant had been hired to study the traffic on Texas .venue between College Station City Hall and Harvey Road. The consultant will need four to five weeks to finish their report. Paul Clarke, owner of Bentley House, a motel and apartment complex on Dominik, said that a Texas Department of Transporta- tion official had told him the city wouldn't need to give the depart- ment information until mid. April. The state will pay for the changes, including adding a median to prevent the turns, if the city makes the project part of the widening of Texas Avenue. Brown said the council needed to consider what prohibiting the left turns would do to businesses on Dominik and to the revenue the city got in sales taxes and util- ity revenues. "It's hard to collect property taxes when a business doesn't exist," he said. One man, who did not give his name but who is known locally as the driver of a colorful car with "Elijah" painted on it, con - demned the chi's plan to prohibit left turns because it would add traffic to Kyle Street. He expressed his concern for children crossing Texas at George Bush Drive, and predicted news- paper headlines saying, "George Bush kills children." tie called for the city to reject the "satanic traffic plan" and build a pedestrian walkway at Bush that would span Texas Avenue.

City elections are held on the first Saturday in May, of which Halter said, '.I think the Saturday date is bad — people aren't on campus. On Saturdays you do other things, including staying in bed." Halter said uncontested races and issues which fail to arouse voter interest are other reasons for low voter participation. Connie Hooks, city secretary and election administrator, said a lack of competition in council and mayoral races also contributes to low turnout. "In our city elections, we've never had strong opposition," she said, adding that sometimes it's almost a given that an incumbent will win. Halter said the limited media attention given to city elections is also responsible for low voter turnout. However, Hooks said the city would encourage voter participa- tion more this year through televi- sion coverage and newspaper ad- vertisements. A special election to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Trea- sury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen also may entice more voters to the polls this May, Hooks said. Despite the small number of students who follow city politics, Few College Station residents, and even fewer Texas A &M Uni- versity students will cast a vote in the May 1 city council elections if low voting trends continue. Of the roughly 25,000 regis- tered voters in College Station, less than 2,500 voted in the city election last year, and in the three voting precincts that include the Texas A &M University campus, , only 33 people voted for a may - oral candidate.

Halter said council decisions can affect voters in matters such as housing availability, which is influenced by planning and zon- ing decisions; utility rates; police enforcement and traffic laws. "Probably 95 percent of the people in municipal court are stu- dents," he said. City council members, whose terms expire this year, had differ- ent ideas as to why voter turnout is so low in city elections. Councilwoman Lynn McIl- haney described College Station as a transient community, a view shared by Councilman Fred Brown who said, "most students think of College Station as just a stopping -off place." Councilman Jim Gardner said he has wondered why students not against industries, he feels tax are not more involved, and that he would like to see more dollars do not have to be spent to attract more of them to the city. student participation. As That stance has caused him to lose council elections before, of Tuesday, only McIlhaney had decided to run for re- election, he said, and he once lost by just 18 and none of the three said an un- contested race was likely votes.

Wal -Mart has plans to buy land on FM 2818, near Texas 6, and build what amounts to a regular-sized Wal -Mart with a full-sized grocery store at- tached. The council would have to rezone the area from residential to commer- cial before the store could be built. The FM 2818 plan calls for that area to be a mixture of commercial and me- dium- to high- density residential. A commercial development the size of the supercenter does not fit into that plan. The plan adopted by the council is different than the one originally de- veloped by city planners and the Col- lege Station Planning and Zoning Board. The original plan called for more commercial and high - density residential, but was changed after res- idents on Mile Drive complained of the encroachment of commercial property on their residential street. Mile Drive residents showed up at the council's Feb. 10 meeting to again voice their concerns about the en- croachment of commercial property. City staff members recommended that if the council allows the Wal - Mart, it should also redo the FM 2818 plan, since the council would be allow- ing a development that contradicts the existing plan. The council will discuss the plan at its workshop at 4 p.m. Wednesday. The council's regular meeting will be Thursday at 7 p.m. Both meetings will be in College Sta. tion City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S.

Box 9%0 College Station, TX 77840 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Wednesday, February 24, 1993 The Eagle CS discussion focuses on rezoning By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer Facing a crowd of people wearing green buttons reading "Support your planners. Just say NO to the rezoning," members of the College Station City Council on Wed- nesday discussed the fixture of the FM 2818 corridor. The discussion focused on a rezoning request by Wal -Mart to allow the com- pany to build a SuperCenter near the in- tersection of the East Bypass and FM 2818. No action was taken at Wednesday's workshop meeting. The council will con- sider the rezoning request at its March 25 meeting. The rezoning was first discussed Feb. 11, but the council decided then that the FM 2818 Plan, adopted in August 1992, should be studied before a decision was made. The 2818 plan's land -use map called for a mixture of zones, including office, me- dium- density residential and low- density residential. Wal -Mart would need 40 acres of C-1, commercial zoning, to build at the FM 2818 location. City Planner Jane Kee told the council that the FM 2818 plan had four main ob- jectives: maintain areas for residential growth, avoid development of strip com- mercial centers, maintain an attractive entryway into the city and protect exist- ing residential development. Members of the city's planning and zoning commission, members of the city council and property owners helped de- velop the plan. "From a planning viewpoint, C-1 is ac- ceptable," Kee said, "but the rezoning will change the land use plan.' The rezon- ing could possibly make the entire area between the two branches of Bee Creek a commercial area, Kee said. The main branch of Bee Creek runs just south of the College Station Police Department; the "A" branch runs just south of the Col- lege Station Wal -Mart If the entire area goes commercial, the question, Kee said, is how to protect the residential area on Mile Drive. The FM 2818 plan called for a "step- down" ap- proach, she said, meaning that the the zoning starts at residential and then gradually increases in intensity until it gets to commercial, thus providing a bar- rier between commercial and residential zones. The plan called for medium - density residential to be next to Mile Drive, then progress to FM 2818, until it reached of- fice zoning. The SuperCenter would wipe out this approach, leaving another protective barrier, the "A" branch of Bee Creek, Kee said. But the city can't make any guar- antees that the creek area would remain a wooded area, providing protection for the homes on Mile Drive, unless the city bought the area, Kee said. Kee also said that Wal -Mart's current SuperCenter plan would kill the exten- sion of Dartmouth Street, as it is current- ly on the drawing board. The city might have to redraw the street, costing the city more engineering cost and making some of the purchased right of way useless. It might also be possible to come up with a compromise with Wal -Mart on Dartmouth, Kee said. Councilwoman Nancy Crouch, who on Feb. 11 moved that the council grant Wal- Mart's request, said that there are "logical reasons" the original FM 2818 plan should be amended. The original plan assumed that there were multiple landowners and that the small lots could lead to strip commercia- lization, she said. No one knew there would be a consolidation of land on FM 2818, she said. "No one knew that so many people who were opposed to the commercial de- velopment would change sides because someone bought their land," she said. A fiscal indicators report also shows that the city should be concerned about the ratio of commercial to residential property, she said. "A $100,000 house works to a net loss of $100 [to the city]" Crouch said, "and more residential development is coming." Taxes and utility fees paid by resi- dential housing do not cover what the city must pay to service those homes. College Station depends on sales tax, property tax and utility revenues from commercial customers to make up the difference. Councilwoman Lynn Mcllhaney point- ed out that the council's decision would dictate development along FM 2818. "We have the opportunity to make this entryway to our liking," she said. "We should think about it seriously." � 4 L� 1 { �� s ` p pfi Qr ti Jti i t 4 0 • City OKs funds for food bank The Brazos Food Bank is $25,000 closer to a new home. The College Station City Council approved the money out of the city's allotment of federal community de- velopment block grant funds. Josie Peacher, executive director of the food bank, said the group is look- ing for a new home to help feed the hungry of the area. The food bank has outgrown its cur- rent headquarters on FM 2818 and needs to expand, she said. Peacher said they would like to add freezers, a loading dock and more storage space to their program, which they can't do at their present location. The food bank will be asking the city of Bryan for a contribution and begin a fund- raising campaign to help pay for a bigger facility.

It is one of the most peaceful streets that we know of in Bryan- College Station. We want to keep it this way. We have watched this town grow all around us. If the FM 2818 extension is re- zoned commercial it will hurt what the people have worked so long and hard to build. The home- town feeling you have as you en- ter College Station will start to diminish. I myself like the peace- ful feeling and serenity. We moved from Houston 22 years ago because of this feeling of belong- ing, which had long been re- moved from Houston. We urge the city to hear the Col- lege Station residents' plea in maintaining this quality of life. We are asking the city not to re- zone this land. This city has worked too long and hard for or- ganized growth and had a de- veloped plan for the future of Col- lege Station. We want to encour- age the city to stay with this plan and keep this property resi- dential. c T he City of College Station � is accepting applications for Public Services Department Secretary The Public Services Department is presently accepting appli- cations for the position of Secretary in this fast- paced, customer service oriented department.

Box 9960 College Station, TX 77840 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Sunday, February 28, 1993 The Eagle City should follow Its own land use plan on FM 2818 In August 1992, the College Sta- tion City Council approved a land use plan put forward by the Plan- ning and Zoning Commission that balanced concerns of homeown- ers with those of the business community. It provides ample room for growth inside the so- called golden triangle (bounded by Southwest Parkway, Texas Avenue and the East Bypass) and allows room for moderate -sized office- oriented businesses to lo- cate. This plan made and contin- ues to make sense, since it per- mits smaller non - retail business frontage on a busy city thorough- fare, while still allowing large re- tail businesses to locate along the more- traveled East Bypass. To that end, access roads to the East Bypass have been undergoing improvement, allowing better ac- cess to the highway. Recently, Wal -Mart, America's largest retailer, has proposed re- zoning 40 acres of land on the south side of the FM 2818 exten- sion from residential and office to commercial. It has also been pro- posed that the acreage on the north side of 2818 extension be re- zoned commercial, though that request has not yet been formally presented to the city council. The P &Z Commission rejected the re- zoning request 5 -2, forcing Wal- Mart to appeal to the council. Planners and council members have stated that such a large mod- ification to existing zoning will drive the entire region commer- cial with the tiny exception of Mile Drive, whose residents would be commercially land- locked. Wal -Mart has prepared figures that optimistically forecast huge increases in property and sales tax revenue to the city, neglecting to consider the impact that its super center will have on prop- erty and sales taxes from stores of their competitors. Wal -Mart has attempted to pit the twin cities against each other, shamelessly touting the disadvantage to Col- lege Station, in terms of tax re- venue, if a Wal -Mart Super Center Streets to close for Straight Shot 1 The 11th Annual Texas Straight Shot begins today at 8 a.m., and traffic on Texas Avenue, Holleman Drive and intersecting `streets will be affected.
