NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING CITY OF COLLEGE STATION PUBLIC UTILITIES DEPARTMENT Water/Wastewater Division 1601 Graham Road College Station,TX 77845 Phone:(409)764-3660 Fax:(409)764-3452 DATE:January 26,2000 SUBJECT:USEPA Mandated Risk Management Plan(RMP) On January 26,2000,the City of College Station,in conjunction with the City of Bryan,will pres- ent the primary components of its two site-specific Risk Management Plans(RMPs)that were developed for its two water treatment facilities. The plans will be presented at a public meeting scheduled for Wednesday January 26th from 6.00-7 00 p.m.at the Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce facility located at the Carter Creek Center,4001 E.29th St.Suite 175 in Bryan. This presentation will feature the RMPs de- veloped by the City of College Station and will also present the RMPs developed by the City of Bryan. On August 5, 1999, in response to recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) Clean Air Act amendment legislation and in conjunction with the federal Community Right-to- Know Act, President Clinton signed the Chemical Safety Information, Site Security and Fuels Regulatory Relief Act. This new law requires all facilities that were required to develop Risk Management Plans(RMPs)to share these plans with the public through the forum of a public meeting. "...(Any)Program 2 or Program 3 level facilities that were required to submit RMPs must provide public notice and hold a public meeting by February 1,2000 to discuss the RMP's components and to present a summary of the Off-Site Consequence Analysis(OCA)and appropriate response measures..." In June 1999, the City of College Station developed site-specific RMPs for its Dowling Road Pump Station and its Sandy Point Pump Station,in compliance with Section 112(r)of the Clean Air Act. All subject facilities to this rule were required to submit their RMPs to the USEPA by June 21,1999. Each site-specific RMP program included hazard assessments,facility risk man- agement team formation,hazard prevention(routine maintenance and standard operating proce- dures), and an emergency response program. These RMPs are intended for review, revision, and upgrade at a minimum of once every five years.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING CITY OF COLLEGE STATION PUBLIC UTILITIES DEPARTMENT Water/Wastewater Division 1601 Graham Road College Station,TX 77845 Phone:(409)764-3660 Fax:(409)764-3452 Fprimary ,2000 Mandated Risk Management Plan(RMP) 00,the City of College Station,in conjunction with the City of Bryan,will pres- mponents Of its two site-specific Risk Management Plans (RMPs)that were developed for its two water treatment facilities. The plans will be presented at a public meeting scheduled for Wednesday January 26th from 6:00-7:00 o m at the Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce facility located at the Carter Creek Center,4001 E.29th St.Suite 175 in Bryan. This presentation will feature the RMPs de- veloped by the City of College Station and will also present the RMPs developed by the City of Bryan. On August 5, 1999, in response to recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) Clean Air Act amendment legislation and in conjunction with the federal Community Right-to- Know Act, President Clinton signed the Chemical Safety Information, Site Security and Fuels' Regulatory Relief Act. This new law requires all facilities that were required to develop Risk Management Plans (RMPs)to share these plans with the public through the forum of a public meeting. "...(Any)Program 2 or Program 3 level facilities that were required to submit RMPs must provide public notice and hold a public meeting by February 1,2000 to discuss the RMP's components and to present a summary of the Off-Site Consequence Analysis(OCA)and appropriate response measures..." In June 1999, the City of College Station developed site-specific RMPs for its Dowling Road Pump Station and its Sandy Point Pump Station,in compliance with Section 112(r)of the Clean Air Act. All subject facilities to this rule were required to submit their RMPs to the USEPA by June 21, 1999. Each site-specific RMP program included hazard assessments,facility risk man- agement team formation,hazard prevention(routine maintenance and standard operating proce- dures), and an emergency response program. These RMPs are intended for review, revision, and upgrade at a minimum of once every five years.

Decision on garage postponed CS council also OKs moratorium revision By COLLEEN KAVANAGH Eagle Staff Writer College Station City Council members agreed Thursday to add a fifth floor to the design of a planned Northgate parking garage and then changed their minds, rescinding the decision and postponing further discussion until their Feb. 24 meeting. They also approved an emergency amendment to a recently approved moratorium because city officials said there is a threat to public health and safety The council had unanimously approved the parking garage design change with Arkitex Stu- dios in the amount of$87,750 to add the design of a fifth floor and a second entry and exit. They made that decision after city officials said the city would not be charged unless the council decided to proceed with a fifth floor. Later at the meeting, City Manager Tom Brymer told the council that it had mistakenly been given incorrect information. The city would be charged the design fee regardless of how many floors the garage has, he said. The council unanimously rescinded its earlier decision and tabled discussion on spending the additional money until its next meeting. Current plans for the garage foundation are designed to include a possible fifth floor, council members said, adding that they did not under- stand why College Station should spend$88,000 to see what the design would look like. If a fifth floor is added, the second entry-exit will be needed to assure smooth flow of traffic. Council members asked why the second entry and exit was not included in the plans if the garage was designed to be able to support a fifth floor. "It doesn't seem right to me," Councilman • Larry Mariott said. In 1997, the council authorized a$371,803 design contract, and in 1999, it authorized what was thought to be the final design of the garage.

One week later, Harry Jones, chair of the church's board of trustees, appealed the decision because of the nightclub's prox- imity to the church's family cen- ter. "Our Family Life Center is used for Sunday school and has been used for a 10 a.m. worship service," Jones' appeal states. "Furthermore, as we begin reno- vation of our main sanctuary this year,we will relocate all our wor- ship services to the center. So this building is certainly a Sun- day school, and arguably a sanc- tuary as well." Council members said they hope Forrest and church mem- bers will sit down and discuss future plans because Northgate businesses have concerns about the area's uses as well. "Unfortunately, what we've got is strange bedfellows," Council- man James Massey said. "I hope we can work through that and facilitate that.

Arts council dedicates work , by Caldwell man By GENEVA WHITMARSH Eagle Staff Writer rtist Joe Smith arrived at the unveiling of his sculpture Tues- day in a limousine, received a standing ovation from the more than 100 people in attendance, and listened as he was lavishly praised by several prominent members of the community. But the Caldwell resident, who spent the last six months constructing the 5- ton steel sculpture that was dedicated at Texas Avenue and Walton Drive, took the attention in stride. "I'm so gussied up today, I didn't think anyone would recognize me," the suit-clad 79-year-old jokingly said. The towering structure, named Eter- nal Winds, is meant to symbolize the community's smooth sailing into the new millennium. The piece is one of the largest pieces of public art in Cen- tral Texas, measuring 25 feet in height, 18 feet in width and 8 feet in depth. a The installation of the sculpture on { the most well-traveled road in the Bryan-College Station area was the cul- mination of 18 months of work by the $ Arts Council of Brazos Valley. More than 250 people were involved in raising money and support for the sculpture, which cost just over$30,000 Ir`. to build. Smith, however, agreed to build it for$20,000, and the remaining costs funded the structure's concrete base. "It was the work I appreciated more ° 4, than anything," he said. "[The unveil- ing ceremony] is just the icing on the !d cake." Several local lawmakers attended the ceremony, which was cut short by rain. rrixa�a Those in attendance included College r Station Mayor Lynn McIlhaney, Bryan Mayor Lonnie Stabler, Brazos County Commissioner Randy Simms and Lt. Gen. Howard Graves, chancellor at Texas A&M University, each of whom r praised the sculpture as a way to pro- mote art appreciation in the area. "We're only here a short time, and a thousand years from now, people are Eagle photo/Dave McDermand going to wonder what our society was John Wick (left) and members of Full House Blues entertain the crowd gathered for like,"Mcllhaney said.

The project has been in the works for more than three years. In 1997, voters gave approval for the city to issue$6 million in rev- enue bonds for the conference center. The additional $500,000 is because of increased costs. City officials said a recent fea- sibility study concluded that a hotel and conference center pro- ject is still viable. "The council has always said that we are committed to this pro- ject," McIlhaney said. "We have people calling the Convention and Visitors Bureau asking when conference center would be ready.

First, change the limit of unrelated adults in a single-family residential dwelling to no more than three per dwelling. College Station could base it on the draft ordinance that Bryan was considering last December. Many residents have suggested a limit of two unrelated adults per dwelling, and that is very reasonable for properties of limited area or number of bed- rooms, but use three for others. Second, make property owners equally responsible for the repeat- ed violations by their tenants. You can do this by issuing fines to the owner as well as the renter or by requiring an annual commercial rental permit for a nominal$1 charge. Change the ordinances dealing with parking, noise, etc., to issue the first fine in a year to the renters only and legally notify the owner that the next one counts. Any additional fines within a year would then also apply to the owner. Recurring violations could logo/ revoke the commercial permit and prevent the owner from renting the house for six months. I wouldn't recommend that any safety inspec- tions be mandated as part of the permit, as other college towns have done. The solutions I'm proposing should be applied to all single-fami- ly residential zones within the city. Owners of more dense properties such as duplexes and apartment complexes probably wouldn't oppose it. This should be done very quick- ly, before the next round of rental leases gets signed for the fall semester. I would suggest that property owners include a protec- tion clause in their lease agree- ments, so that if renters get the property owner in trouble, the owner can get reimbursed. This again puts the onus onto the trou- blemakers. Let's bring back the single in sin- gle-family residential areas.

SABINE KUENZEL Senior Planner 7-19-00 THE EAGLE July 20, 2000 • � ; . IEFS Grass fires keep firefighters busy A small portion of a 50-acre grass fire that was extinguished in southern College Station Tuesday afternoon rekindled Wednesday right before noon. Bryan firefighters had their own grass fire to contend with. College Station fire department public information officer Bart Humphreys said the rekindled fire covered the northern area of the original fire and was about 200 square feet. It took about 12 min- utes to get under control, he said. Humphreys said firefighters thought there had been a hot spot near the 900 block of Graham Road that had been easily rekindled. It is not uncommon for a grass fire to smolder in some areas and inter- nally combust, Humphreys said. The fire department was again called to the scene shortly before 1 p.m. on Wednesday for smoke in the area, but no fire was found, Humphreys said. Elsewhere, a grass fire at the intersection of Coulter Drive and east 26th Street in Bryan burned about a third of an acre in a Wednesday afternoon blaze. The fire was only about 100 feet away from several houses nearby, but firefighters managed to get the fire under control about three min- utes after arriving on scene, said Lt. Buddy Micklitz. No buildings were damaged and no injuries occurred during the fire, he said. The cause of the blaze has not been determined. Samuel D. Logan Jr. Nov. 20, 1931—July 18, 2000 Services for Samuel D. Logan Jr., 68, of Bryan are set for 10 a.m. Sat- urday at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church in College Station. The Rev. Erich Schaefer of Our Sav- iour's Lutheran Church will officiate. Burial will be in College Station Cemetery. Viewing will be from 1 to 7 p.m. Friday and visita- tion will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday at Callaway-Jones Funeral Home in LOGAN Bryan. Mr. Logan died Tuesday in Berryville, Ark. He was born in Tyler and had lived in Bryan since 1978. He was a jour- nalist and former owner of the Clifton Record and the Madisonville Meteor. He was Business Editor for The Bryan-College Station Eagle from 1978 to 1980. He was retired from the Texas Forest Service, where he was the Information and Education Specialist for 10 years, after which he became an Information Officer for the U.S. Forest Service and later for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He was a member of Our Sav- iour's Lutheran Church and the Texas Press Association. Survivors include his wife, Joan Stall Logan of Bryan; a son and daughter-in-law, Stephen D. and Donna Imy Logan of Carrollton,Texas; two stepsons, James L. Haskell and John L. Haskell, both of Bryan; two daughters and a son-in-law, Lisa Logan of Tyler, and Laurie and Scott Hemann of Wylie, Texas; a sister and brother-in-law, Mary and Col. Joe Tom Haney of Bryan; and nine grandchil- dren. Memorials may be made to Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, 315 Tauber, College Station, Texas 77840 or the Muscular Dystrophy Associa- tion.

Doctors, nurses, dentists and other volunteers and staff give countless hours to help those who can least afford it get the medical care they need. Unfortunately, because these organizations are scattered throughout the community, it often is difficult for those with- out transportation to make good use of the clinics and pro- grams being offered. That problem will be solved in the near future when a com- munity health center opens halfway between Downtown Bryan and central College Station. The location chosen for the center is the best possible, because it is central to all the clients it will serve in the two communities and because it is at the transfer terminal for the local trolley bus system. It will be convenient even for those clients who don't have their own transportation. The center will house agencies such as the Prenatal Clinic and others that will provide medical and dental care, coun- seling and referral services. It will be operated by the Brazos Valley Community Action Agency. The new community health center is badly needed, but it can't open yet because of a budget shortfall of$180,000. On Thursday, the College Station City Council will be asked to fund that amount and it should do so. To date, College Station has given $126,000, only about 5 percent of the total amount raised for the center. Bryan contributed $1.2 million —almost 10 times the amount given by College Station—and $500,000 came from the Episcopal Health Charities of Houston, $270,000 from the Brazos Valley Community Action Agency, and$165,000 from the Meadows Foundation of Dallas. If the College Station council agrees to fund the remaining $180,000, the city's total contribution would be about 20 per- cent of the amount contributed by the two cities. That's about right. According to the agencies that will be located in the new center, about 20 percent of their clients live in College Station. That jibes with The Eagle's own Cheer Fund holiday food drive; about 20 percent of the nominated families live in =College Station. Brazos County officials—who by law cannot give money to the.construction of the center—have agreed to contract with the center for $60,000 in dental services for low-income patients. It seems only fair that College Station kick in the additional $180,000. This isn't a Bryan health center. It isn't a College Station health center. It is a community health center and will serve anyone in need, no matter where they live in the county. If 20 percent of the clients who avail themselves of the new center's services live in College Station, then it is only right that 20 percent of the funding from the two cities comes from College Station. • GCL.R.RJALLes a e - feature varie .�r •�.�IM +. j I M.A � , aww lwnM1Y1.Mw.� AA .nIM � Af vY Athletes delight 7" ♦y 2 in annual event By GENEVA WHITMARSH Eagle Staff Writer Bryan resident Milton Gooden Jr. is the fart to point out that he isn't a top-caliber horseshoe player.

The changes are being made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973(Public Law 93-234)and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended(Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968,Public Law 90-448), 42 U.S.C.4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. A hydraulic analysis was performed to incorporate the effects of placement of fill along the north- ern overbank of Wolf Pen Creek from approximately 620 feet downstream to approximately 100 feet downstream of State Route 6 East Frontage Road;from approximately 140 feet downstream to just downstream of the confluence of Wolf Pen Creek Tributary A; and from approximately 1,470 feet upstream to approximately 1,750 feet upstream of the confluence of Wolf Pen Creek Tributary A.The analysis also incorporated updated bridge modeling along Wolf Pen Creek at State Route 6 and at the intersection of Holleman Drive and Dartmouth Road, updated culvert modeling along Wolf Pen Creek Tributary A at Harvey Drive,and more detailed topographic in- formation for Wolf Pen Creek and Wolf Pen Creek Tributary A. The modifications have resulted in a revised delineation of the regulatory floodways, increases and decreases in SFHA widths along Wolf Pen Creek and Wolf Pen Creek Tributary A,increased and decreased BFEs for Wolf Pen Creek,and decreased BFEs for Wolf Pen Creek,and decreased BFEs for Wolf Pen Creek Tributary A.The table below indicates existing and modified BFEs for selected locations along the affected lengths of the flooding source(s)cited above. Existing BFE Modified BFE L n If-W ffeetl, Wolf Pen Creek: Approximately 280 feet downstream of State 256 257 Route 6 East Frontage Road Approximately 250 feet downstream of intersection 266 265 of Holleman Drive and Dartmouth Road Wolf Pen Creek Tributary A: 279 Approximately 100 feet upstream of Harvey Drive 280 Approximately 200 feet downstream 281 280 of University Oaks Boulevard 'National Goodetic Vertical Datum,rounded to nearest whole foot Under the above-mentioned Acts of 1968 and 1973,the Mitigation Directorate must develop cri- teria for floodplain management.To participate in the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP), the community must use the modified BFEs to administer the floodplain management measures of the NFIR These modified BFEs will also be used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their contents and for the second layer of insurance on ex- isting buildings and contents. Upon the second publication of notice of these changes in this newspaper,any person has 90 days in which he or she can request,through the Chief Executive Officer of the community,that the Mitigation Directorate reconsider the determination.Any request for reconsideration must be based on knowledge of changed conditions or new scientific or technical data. All interested parties are on notice that until the 90-day period elapses,the Mitigation Directorate's determina- tion to modify the BFEs may itself be changed.

The company citied more lucrative economic incentive packages as the reason for moving to to either Reno, Nev., or an unnamed city in Arizona. Freewing Aerial Robotics Corp. will move by the end of September, said Hugh Schmittle, the compa- ny's chairman and chief executive officer. The firm makes robotic planes and employs seven people. Schmittle said he began looking at other cities after College Station told the company in March that it had not fully met terms of the agreement it accepted to locate in the city in 1997. Under that agreement, Freeewing had received free use of 25,000 square feet of building space.It also had agreed to employ 14 peo- ple within one year—a condition it never met. The •� company also received a$61,500 grant from the Bryan- College Station Economic Development Fund. When the company announced it planned to look elsewhere, the EDC offered a second package in May that include more land in Bryan.It included five acres of land,a 60-foot by 1,500-foot runway,a 20,000-square- foot building, infrastructure, 10 years of electricity at the lowest rate and a five-year tax abatement. To receive the revised package,the company would have to prove equity funding was secured, employ 14 people with a gross annual payroll of$50,000 by Jan.l, 2001, and start runway construction by that date. The agreement still was awaiting approval of the city of Bryan and Brazos County. "With [additional] funding, I think we would have been able to make it,but the city didn't want to change it in any shape or form," Schmittle said. That, he said, caused Freewing Aerial Robotics to look for a new location. Schmittle said the Western cities offered larger packages. He said Reno and the Arizona city have the "ability to have unimpeded areas for flying." "It's a little difficult because of the air traffic densi- ty around here," he said. "We just had to make the best business decision. The bottom line is if we had not had the lease canceled, we would still be here." Schmittle said he would lose three or four employees by moving,but planned to employ 30 people at the new site within nine months. Robert Worley, EDC president and chief executive officer, said the council had received 80,000 shares of Freewing Aerial Robotics in exchange for incentives. "One of these days it may be worth something," Worley said. 0 Laura Hipp's e-mail address is Ihipp@Llieeagle.com LEGAL NOTICE College Station Medical Center ORDINANCE NO.2462 WAS PASSED AND APPROVED ON August 15: AUGUST 10,2000 BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION meeting in regular session at the College CS teen panel Sally and Mike Teixeira, Caldwell, a Station Council Chambers, 1101 Texas Avenue,said notice of girl; meeting posted in accordance with Title 5,Texas Government seeks a licants Kathy and Christopher Duewall, Code.

Your individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate,.or even decrease, depending on the change in the taxable value of your property in relation to the change in taxable value of all other property and the tax rate that is adopted. The public hearing will be held on September 14, 2000 at 7:00 PM in the City Council Chambers at College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Avenue, College Station, Texas. FOR the proposal: Lynn McIlhaney, Larry Mariott, Ron Silvia, Anne Hazen, Dennis Maloney, James Massey AGAINST the proposal: NONE PRESENT and not voting: NONE ABSENT: Winnie Garner The following table compares taxes on an average home in this taxing unit last year to taxes proposed on the average home this year. Again, your individual taxes may be higher or lower, depending on the taxable value of your property. Last Year This Year Average residence homestead value $116,367 $123,148 General Exemptions available $ 0 $ 0 (amount available on the average homestead, not including senior citizen's or disabled person's exemptions) Average taxable value $116,367 $123,148 Tax rate $0.4293/$100 $0.4293/$100 Tax $ 499.56 $. 528.67 Under this proposal,taxes on the average homestead would increase by $29.11 or 5.83 percent compared with last year's taxes. Comparing tax rates without adjusting for changes in property value, the tax rate would increase by $0.00 per $100 of taxable value or 0.00 percent compared to last year's tax rate. These tax rate figures are not adjusted for changes in the taxable value of property.

He said the same standard should be set for all areas. "It need not be so complicated that it makes it impossible for anybody to do anything," McDou- gal said. "It needs to be dynamic." Fellow developer Darrell Grein, who has had a series of zoning requests in the Raintree subdivision denied by the coun- cil, said no plan would please everyone and the council should- n't "study things to death" because "money counts." "By gosh, if you are going to dictate and tell me what to do, do it," Grein said. "Don't just let me dicker on and dicker on." He asked Mcllhaney to consid- er the fact that the city already had "great" ordinances in place for the East Bypass area. However, Maloney said the city's zoning ordinances are three decades old and that's why the commission is revising them. "We're 30 years behind the curve and we're pedaling fast," Maloney said.

The Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management Agency, which oversees the Rock Prairie Road landfill, is a joint operation of Bryan and College Station. The cities formed the agency a decade ago. Bryan Mayor Lonnie Stabler said Thursday that a general consensus, not a full-fledged vote, was taken during the Bryan council's closed session Tuesday. Members supported the agreement so long as it was approved by College Station. "I got an indication that that's the direction the council wants to go," he said. "We have the oppor- tunity to lock in a willing seller on a piece of prop- erty that is just off a main highway, out of a flood- plain and which contains good soil for a landfill. "The soil is clay, which is ideal for a landfill." Mark Smith, College Station's public works director, said the landfill also will be located in one of the most sparsely populated areas of Grimes County. "We expected opposition regardless of where we sited it," he said. "There's not going to be a place anywhere without opposition.

That ADAM decision will be made by the Arts Council of the Brazos Valley some time next year. Councilman Dennis Maloney said he realizes there is some controversy about where the center ends up, but he thinks this location —just inside College Station city limits — is a win for both cities. "It's in the Bryan Independent School District and College Station city limits," he said. "You couldn't get a more community-oriented environ- ment, and I think it's a good deal for both cities." In July, the council approved the memorandum for the public-private partnership with TAC Real- ty, which is owned by Bryan businessman Don Adam. According to the agreement: ■TAC Realty will purchase 55 acres east of Uni- versity Drive and Copperfield Drive and construct a 200-room, full-service hotel that will adjoin the city's 45,000-square-foot conference center. TAC also will construct a corporate headquarters for The Adam Corporation. The city has retained PricewaterhouseCoopers to help find a hotel operator, a decision made by both TAC Realty and College Station. Kim Foutz, the city's economic development director, said the city and TAC Realty officials hope to have an oper- ator in place by the end of January. "We have issued a request for proposals,and we received a number of proposals back," she said. "We're working with TAC and our consultant to determine the finalists." ■ The city will provide streets, water, sewer lines and other infrastructure needs and give TAC control of the overall site plan layout, exterior design and architecture development of the prop- erty. College Station will construct the extension of Copperf"ield Drive from F.M. 60 to Texas 30, and construct a collector street that will not exceed 388 feet. The city will put the residual property around the central development in a public improvement district, which will fund $500,000 toward the cost of utilities and improvements for that property. Foutz said that the infrastructure is needed to develop that part of College Station,and the cost of the improvements will depend on decisions about See COUNCIL, Page A2 ed, Foutz said. proposals, and the new plan will Council From there, she said, College take about a year to develop.

By LAURA HIPP Eagle Staff Writer The mere mention of a smoking ban in public places has some local restaurant owners seeing red, or at least that's what they fear would be the finan- cial fallout if a total ban were enacted. i With about 315 restaurants, bars and grills in Bryan and College Station, dining establishments • say they would suffer the most should expanded restrictions to limit smoking be approved. The Brazos County Health Department board of directors has asked cities to review their ordinances and significantly reduce locations where smoking in buildings is allowed. The directors contend smoking sections in many restaurants and dining facilities are not adequately separated from the nonsmoking sections and that the health of waitstaff may be affected. Bryan and College Station city councils will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday in the Brazos Center to discuss the issue. See SMOKING, Page A8 Walter L.

Council members approved the Rosses'plan for the restaurant by a 5-1 vote, with Councilwoman Anne Hazen dissenting.
