Department.News from The City of College Station is brought to you monthly by the College Station Public Communications& Marketing The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 2 of 2 But the city viewed the action as an attempt by the Camps, who notified the city of their plans to rent out the facility last Friday, to circumvent the ordinance and allow smoking for league play. "There seems to be an effort to get around the ordinance by selective interpretation," councilman James Massey said. Council members also expressed concerns that children would not be prohibited from entering the center during the league play when they — and other nonsmokers —would be exposed to secondhand smoke. "In my view, the role of local government is to maintain the health and well-being of this community," Massey said. The Camps, who contend their business has lost more than $100,000 since the smoking ban went into effect last March, said their goal was to regain customers who stayed away because of the ban. "We were trying to accommodate all of our customers," Martha Camp said. This is the second time in the last two months the council has ruled against smoking in the bowling alley—which shares a building with the Wolf Pen Skate roller-skating rink. On May 24, the council denied a request by the Camps to let them build a smoking room with a separate ventilation inside Wolf Pen Bowl. Shortly after the May ruling, the Camps announced they would move the bowling center to Bryan, which has an exemption in its smoking ordinance that allows smoking — under special conditions — in bowling alleys and bingo halls.

"You don't pay when you go to Post Oak Mall and you don't pay when you go to any other place in town. Maybe they're trying to run people out. I don't know what's going to happen — it's pretty scary." Other Northgate merchants say their businesses already have been hurt by the elimination of most free parking in the area, and they complained that the night rate at the new garage is too high. http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/081101barownermadatcouncil.htm 8/13/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 2 of 2 Under the fee schedule approved by council, a parking spot would cost $1.50 per hour from 7 p.m. until 2 a.m. From 2 a.m. to 7 p.m., the cost drops to 50 cents per hour. Parking will be free on Sundays from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. to accommodate those who attend Northgate churches. The city will also sell daytime contract parking and "24/7" reserved spots. The daytime spots, which will be reserved on weekdays from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m., will be leased for $55 per month, $200 per semester or $500 per year. The round-the-clock contract parking spots will be sold for $640 per semester and $1,600 annually. There will be 400 daytime lease spots and 150 24/7 reserved spots. Councilman Larry Mariott said during the meeting that the rates could be re-evaluated if they have a negative impact on Northgate businesses. Ganter said he saw no reason why prices had to be so high in order for the garage to be quickly paid off. He would have rather seen the city "test the waters" and set a standard rate ranging from 50 cents to $1. "It's all very crazy to me to start off with Neiman-Marcus rates, thinking that you can go down later if things are bad," he said. It will be much harder to attract new businesses once existing ones have been forced to close or move, he said. Ganter was not among the business owners at Thursday's council meeting. He said attending would have been futile. "They aren't going to listen," Ganter said.

Bow is accused of stealing from Col- lege Station actually was used by the fired special-events supervisor to perform her city job,an assistant to Bow testified Wednesday. Shawn Baggerly was the first of six witnesses called by defense attorney Jim James in the trial of Bow, who worked in the city's Parks & Recreation department. Bow, 45, who is known by her middle name, is accused of stealing between$1,500 and$20,000 from the city, which is a state jail felony. Bow, who pleaded not guilty to the charge, did not testify. Baggerly, who worked with Bow between November 1998 and December 1999, 'said Bow had two offices, one in the recreation department's Central Park office and a smaller one in a warehouse on Harvey Mitchell Parkway South behind Big Lots. Baggerly said Bow often trans- ferred equipment between the two offices, but much of the equipment she is accused of stealing was kept in the warehouse. She did much of her work on her personal comput- er,which she kept at home,because it had more sophisticated programs necessary for the brochures and other publications she designed, Baggerly said. Near the end of Baggerly's employment with the city, Bow moved some of the city's equipment to her home office to avoid having to transfer items and documents back and forth. "It was more efficient," Baggerly said, adding that all city supplies were used solely for city business. Brazos County Assistant District Attorney Laura Cass asked Bagger- ly about some of the city equipment police said they found at Bow's house, including a digital printer, television, computer desk, copier, scanner and three telephones. "She had all of these things to do her job," Baggerly said. Bow's supervisors testified that they found receipts for supplies that were unaccounted for in Bow's Police 30 days; notice to vacate the P O''�� building. .

College Station police will once again open a Northgate Community Policing Office on Saturday in hopes of strengthening ties with neigh- borhood residents and mer- chants. The opening of the substa- tion, which will be housed in the ground floor of the new College Main Parking Garage, comes more than 16 months after the department was forced to vacate the space it leased rent-free from Loupot's Bookstore in North- gate. Police spokesman Lt. Dan Jones said the office is at an advantageous location — the intersection of Church and Cross streets—because of the high volume of bicycle and foot traffic in the area. Community members can use the office to file police reports or receive free bicycle engraving and registration. They can also obtain informa- tion about local businesses, attractions and special events or visit with officers to dis- cuss their neighborhood con- cerns. "This is just another way for us to be more available, to better communicate with citi- zens in that area," Jones said. A grand opening ceremony has been scheduled for the garage from 11 a.m. to noon Saturday, Jones said. Visitors are encouraged to come by and tour the garage and meet the officers who patrol North- gate. The office will be staffed by 1 police department personnel from noon to 2 p.m. on Mon- days and Wednesdays, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursdays and from noon to 7 p.m. on r C i ID w x0.m _ 0 M p* 0 IDw��o 'K 0 *'-3� sz� Vic) cTJ bd � (MCI p) �.

In return, the company has agreed to add jobs that would generate a total gross payroll of $2.3 million in 2002 and increase to $9.2 million by the end of 2004. The full-time jobs are expected to reach an average annual salary of $28,000 by the end of the third year, and the part-time jobs are expected to pay $8 an hour. The computer company also plans to move from Houston a company that provides third-party accounting services.

The L-shaped tract the company is trying to buy in The Business Center at College Station was designed for commercial development, said Kim Foutz, College Station's economic development director. "It's an irregular tract and hasn't been the first choice for businesses, obviously, because nothing has been built there," she said. "But it is in unique proximity to the UCS building, so I think it will work out nicely for them." Mower called UCS "an ideal candidate for incentives." "This is exactly the kind of company we're trying to attract," he said. "There are entry-level and advanced career opportunities in white-collar jobs. And this company has outperformed everything they've promised as far as investments in the past." Last year's compliance report by the EDC showed Universal Computer Service's capital investment exceeded the $20 million requirement by $3.3 million. Its gross annual payroll was $18.85 • million — well above the $8.86 million required — and the number of employees was 323 full-time and 382 part-time, over the required 250 full-time and 375 part-time. An impact analysis conducted by an independent firm found that the community's interests were protected in the proposed agreement. The payback was calculated at 7.15 years for the city of College Station and less than seven years for Brazos County. Brazos County Judge Al Jones said he anticipates the county commissioners will approve the incentive plan if the city gives its approval. The item will be put on a meeting agenda soon after Thursday's council meeting, he said. "I'm very, very proud of UCS," Jones said. "They've done a lot for our community. All of our commissioners are already familiar with the proposal, and what they're asking is not out of the realm of possibility." The proposal already has been approved by the EDC's executive committee and board. •Kelli Levey's e-mail address is klevevng theea&e.com • ©2000 2001 The Bryan/College Station Eagle Privacy Statement http://www.theeagle.com/businesstectinology/092501ucsseekshelptoexpand.htm 10/1/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 1 of 2 the&igl it00""MMU ff� 'Ci- Home I Classifieds Aggiesports.com Subscribe Contact Site Map Region/State September 26, 2001 Births Brazos Valley Notebook College Station council to hold public Club Meetings College Town hearing on removal of church route Datebook Government Links By CHRISTOPHER FERRELL Links Eagle Staff Writer Obituaries Town Talk Residents of Raintree subdivision will go before the College Site Sections Station City Council Thursday in hopes of keeping a driveway at a A&M News planned church from connecting to their neighborhood.

Appomattox was slated to be extended under the city's thoroughfare plan, but that idea was scrapped in 1997, just months before the deal between A&M Church of Christ and the land's previous owner was finalized. During the planning and zoning meeting, commissioners expressed concerns that by not granting the building permit or by rejecting plans for the second driveway, the city would be in violation of the Religious Freedom Act, which protects land used for religious exercises. By limiting the church to the entrance on the feeder road, the city would be denying the church use of its property, said planning Commissioner Rick Floyd.

"There is a part of us that says if there were 16 people willing to die for this mission, there are probably 16 more willing to die in a car bomb or in taking a plane up for biological warfare. We need to take care in moving forward." Federal authorities have said 19 hijackers died in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Prejean's book Dead Man Walking was nominated for the 1993 Pulitzer Prize. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998, 1999 and 2000. Prejean praised entertainers Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn and Tim Robbins for their work on the movie adaptation of her book, then giggled when she spoke of her Christmas gift from Penn, whom she called the "bad boy of Hollywood." "He sent me a 'Nunzilla' doll," she said. "You wind her up and she spits fire. That's just Sean." Prejean began her prison ministry in 1982, while living in a housing project. She has accompanied five men to their executions, including Patrick Sonnier, the subject of her book. She was Sonnier's pen pal and later became his spiritual adviser while he was in Louisiana's Angola State Prison. "That first one was just complete and utter trauma and the most surreal experience of my life," she said. "To see that whole buzz and hum as they were getting ready to execute him ... My whole [focus] was him, upholding him and giving him dignity." She said the experience differs vastly from ministering to someone who eventually dies from an illness. "Pat was very much alive, drinking coffee and smoking a cigarette, then the next thing you know you're looking at a corpse who 15 minutes ago was alive," she said. "It is just very hard to wrap your mind around that." Prejean's Brazos County visit included a stop at St. Joseph Catholic School, where she spoke to students in the fifth through the 12th grades. "Children seem to get this so much more easily than adults," she said.

Site Sections The same principle holds true for the cities of Bryan and College A&M News Station, at least when it comes to settling a long-standing lawsuit. Agriculture Announcements Members of the Bryan City Council informed their College Station Business&Technology counterparts Friday during a meeting of the cities' Classifieds Intergovernmental Affairs Committee that they would not accept Columnists an offer to resolve a lawsuit over unpaid electricity fees by Community creating a joint water system.

Lifestyles Newspapers in Councilman Russell Bradley said Bryan is interested in forming a Education joint partnership similar to the one the cities have for sanitation Obituaries collection — but as a project not connected to the lawsuit.

Sports Subscriptions Weather Bryan argued that numbers presented by College Station during a retreat attended by representatives of the two cities, Texas A&M University and Brazos County did not accurately show how much money could be saved by each city. College Station's figures — which were calculated with help from Bryan city staff— showed Bryan could save 12.6 million on water production and transmission and $5.1 million in deferred capital spending over a 15-year period. College Station, meanwhile, would save $4.7 million in transmission and production costs and $3.4 million in deferred capital spending during the period. http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/092901jointmeetingwater.htm 10/l/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 2 of 3 Bryan public works Director Rick Conner said the numbers presented were not the same ones the cities' staffs came up with the night before the retreat. College Station Council members stand by the numbers. On Sept. 13, Conner sent a memo to Bryan City Manager Hugh Walker saying that Bryan would save only about $2 million more than College Station in a water alliance. College Station officials responded that the same variables were not included when Bryan derived its numbers. They said that adding and subtracting certain components of a partnership could cause engineers to arrive at several different totals. But a possible water alliance is very much up in the air. Members of the College Station Council said joint projects are unrealistic until the lawsuit is settled. "You wouldn't enter into a deal in private business with someone who is suing you, would you?" asked College Station councilman James Massey. Bryan, however, contends that College Station is being sued by the Texas Municipal Power Agency — not Bryan. Bryan is a part owner of TMPA — along with the cities of Denton, Greenville and Garland — and would benefit from a settlement or favorable ruling. College Station disagrees. City Manager Tom Brymer said that by joining an existing lawsuit, Bryan was indeed suing College Station. The suit dates back to 1995, when College Station began purchasing power from Texas Utilities Electric, now TXU Electric, instead of TMPA. College Station continued to use TMPA power lines to receive its electricity. The dispute between the two cities is over how much College Station owes Bryan for wholesale electric transmission service from 1997 to 1999, Bryan city attorney Michael Cosentino said. In August, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that the Texas Public Utility Commission did not have the authority to set rates for municipally owned utilities such as TMPA. As a result, TMPA estimates that College Station could owe $16 million. • The only issue the two sides seem to agree upon is that the lawsuit must be settled so that the cities can cooperate on future protects. http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/092901 j ointmeetingwater.htm 10/1/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle>Region & State Page 3 of 3 "We owe it to the community to work together," Beal said. • Christopher Ferrell's e-mail address is cferreI14,,theeagle.com ©2000, 2001 The Bntan/College Station Eagle Privacy Statement http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/092901 jointmeetingwater.htm 10/1/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle Page 1 of 2 thee- s e.com Home I Classifieds Aggiesports.com Subscribe Contact I Site Map Region/State Region > Births Births Brazos Valley Notebook September 30, 2001 Club Meetings College Town Area hospitals reported the following births Friday.

The city itself has allotted funds for an electronic sign to be placed at the Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater in the 2001-02 fiscal budget. Special attention was also given to non-electronic signs, both freestanding or attached to buildings, that violate height, size or location codes. An existing sign that is not in compliance with the codes will be allowed to remain until it must be replaced because of wear and tear or until the owner or use of the location changes. If either happens, a conforming sign will have to be put up. Also on Friday: • The group decided that the number of commercial zoning categories will be reduced from six to four.

In addition, the firm's interviewers spoke with leaders of area businesses for anecdotal information. Almost 30 percent of those considered underemployed have some college experience and more than 25 percent have college degrees. Participants were not counted among the underemployed if they were within a few years of qualifying for retirement benefits, had been with an employer for 15 years or more or said they would require an unreasonable pay increase. "While the number of underemployed workers identified in the area, as well as their skills, experience, education, and costs, is accurate, all of those individuals would not be acceptable candidates for an employer," the study states. "Their previous work records, stability, integrity, intelligence, appearance, and other factors could not be considered in the report." The data generated by the study goes a long way in helping a community maintain or improve working conditions, Mower said. "Everybody wants a better quality of life, and that starts with a job," he said. "Everybody wants to be productive and they want to be able to use their skills and training. "Also, maximizing the human capacity is the first step to improving the local economy and setting the tone of the area's quality of life." The information also helps a community attract businesses, said Kim Foutz, College Station's economic development director. "This kind of information is used extensively by site locators to determine whether they can even go to the next step in considering a certain area," she said. "Employment is becoming the No.1 factor companies consider, so it was really important that we have adequate and accurate information." http://www.theeagle.com/businesstechnology/100601underemployedstudy.htm 10/8/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle Page 3 of 3 The City of College Station plans to post the information on its Web site and the findings will be included within the next few weeks on the EDC's Web site, Mower said. In addition, dozens of copies of the report are being sent to various governing entities and business leaders. Businesses considering coming into the Brazos Valley often are put off by the consistently low unemployment rate — the area has had the lowest rate for many months — but employees are available, said David Brandon, a principal of The Pathfinders. "You've got a good quantity of mobile, potentially valuable employees who are competitively priced and possess skills in demand in the labor 500 or so markets we have studied. You can say you're prepared to provide a company with a good stable of workers." The skill and experience levels are particularly strong in the customer service, sales, data processing and word processing sectors, he said. Lee Cox, director of the DecisionOne call center in College Station, said he thinks the information is valuable for existing businesses that are hiring, as he is. "With the university being here and also with people in the community itself, we've got a great workforce here, and I think businesses need to know that," he said. "Here at our place, we don't require the people to be experts in the field. We look for people with a good, strong work ethic who can grasp what we're trying to teach them. We train them on what they need to know." • Kelli Levey's e-mail address is klevev(c)theeaple.com ©2000, 2001 The Bryan/College Station Eagle Privacy Statement http://www.theeagle.com/businesstechnology/100601 underemployedstudy.htm 10/8/2001 LEGAL NOTICE REQUEST FOR BIDS ORDINANCE NO. 2522 WAS PASSED AND AP- PROVED ON September 27, 2001 BY THE CITY Bid#02-17 COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION meeting in regular session at the College Station Coun- Employee Health,Rx,and Dental Insurance cil Chambers, 1101 Texas Avenue,said notice of meet- ing posted in accordance with Title 5, Texas Govern- The City of College Station is accepting bids for the ment Code.

Sports Subscriptions Weather As a result of the legislation, College Station will absorb the credit card use fees. The city allocated $100,000 in its 2001-02 budget to pay the expenses.

Beginning in about six weeks, customers will be able to use credit or debit cards to make payments at City Hall, she said. In about three months, the service should be available online and over the phone. "It is a convenience that I think everyone is looking for," Piwonka said. "It offers the government a way to provide services 24 hours a day without having to be there 24 hours a day." Piwonka said that once the system is fully automated, it should allow the city to provide better customer service because employees will not have to handle as many basic duties and can spend more time with customers who require assistance. If everything goes as planned, the city will allow people to pay police citations online next year. "There are all kinds of services that could go online, but those are the ones we will focus on," Piwonka said. "Each year will take a look at other needs and the budget and see if we want to put other things online."

Announcements Business&Technology City staff is asking the council to approve a plan that could allow Classifieds College Station to provide parking for free or at reduced rates for Columnists either special events or as a means to stimulate activity within Community Northgate. The Eagle Entertainment Under the proposal, parking fees also could be set as high as $3 Faith&Values per hour, but they would generally stay in line with the current Food rates of 50 cents per hour during the day and $1.50 per hour at Health&Fitness night. Kids Korner Lifestyles The current rates apply to all city parking in Northgate, including Newspapers in the four-story garage that opened in late August, the surface Education parking lot and the on-street meters that will be installed within the Obituaries month. Opinions Politics A favorable council vote on the new plan wouldn't have an Region/State immediate impact on the parking fees, but it could provide the Schools vehicle for change if it is determined that the rates need to be Sports adjusted. Subscriptions Weather "I think we realized when we went into this process that it is going to take several months to work out both the operation issues and the pay-fee schedule," College Station Mayor Lynn Mcllhaney said. "What we're looking at would give the staff some flexibility to operate the garage in the most efficient and effective manner." The 700-space parking garage brought in about $14,000 during its first month of operation , said Charles Cryan, College Station's director of fiscal services. By comparison, the city's 120-space parking lot in Northgate http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/101101 northgateparking.htm 10/11/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle>Region & State Page 2 of 2 grossed about $12,000. Cryan said that the city hopes to generate $1 million annually from the garage, the lot, the on-street parking and parking fines in Northgate. That means the four revenue sources would have to generate a combined $83,300 per month. Despite a slow start, the city still has high hopes for the garage. "It's not unusual for a new business not to generate as much as anticipated, because it's going to take some time for people to get used to it," Cryan said. "We're not doing real bad, but it's not where we think it's going to get." Cryan said that the city found itself in a similar position when it opened the pay parking lot behind the Northgate promenade in 1998. The idea of paying to park in Northgate was something new for visitors to the area, and it took some time to get used to. "When we first opened the parking lot, we had almost no one parking there," Cryan said. "Now it's full a lot of the time." College Station is dealing with a student population that has been able to park for free at Northgate in the past. The city is hoping ® that new students — used to paying for parking in Dallas, Houston and other cities —won't be as resistant to the idea of having to lay out money to park in Northgate. Cryan also predicted that patronage of the garage will increase once motorists become familiar with it. Now, he said, many people are unaware of the garage's location behind Northgate's prime shopping and entertainment area. The city has launched advertising campaigns and joined with Northgate merchants to draw attention to the parking structure. The city has no evidence that lowering the rates would fill more parking spots, Mcllhaney said. Lowering evening parking rates from $1.50 to $1 would reduce the revenue estimate by $300,000. If it is decided in the future that lower rates could attract more vehicles to the garage, the proposal to be considered Thursday will give the city staff the flexibility to make adjustments, Mcllhaney said. • Christopher Ferrell's e-mail address is cferrell(abtheeap-le.com ©2000, 2001 The Brvan/College Station Eaqle Privacv Statement http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/101 101 northgateparking.htm 10/11/2001 REOuesT FOR BIDS Bid#02-15 Pebble Creek Park Iron Fence The City of College Station is accepting bids for the above referenced item.Bids will be received at: City of College Station Purchasing Services Division City Hall 1101 Texas Avenue, College Station,Texas 77840 until 2:00 PM,October 25, 2001,at which time bids will be opened at City Hall.All bids received after that time will be returned unopened.

Community The Eagle But when I found out she's not only a working Entertainment Helen Clancy Olin mom with three kids, but a studious college Faith &Values student and a volunteer with the Brazos County (W Faces Food Rape Crisis Center, I had to take a sheepish Health& Fitness look at what really constitutes "too busy."

Subscriptions Weather But after hearing Bridgette's story, it might be a little harder for you to grumble "too busy" next time someone asks you. I know it has been for me. Getting involved "I felt so helpless," Bridgette says, recalling a conversation six years ago that inspired her to volunteer for the Brazos County Rape Crisis Center. In that conversation, a friend revealed that she had been sexually assaulted. The woman had never sought counseling or even reported the crime, and Bridgette just didn't know what to http://www.theeagle.com/brazossunday/faces/102101faces.htm 10/22/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagl e>Lifestyles>F aces Page 2 of 3 say. That very night, a worker with the Rape Crisis Center appeared on TV asking for volunteers to answer the hotline and accompany victims to the hospital, police station and courts. The timing had to be a sign, Bridgette thought, so she decided to sign up for training. "It was important that I learned how to talk to somebody in case anybody ever approached me again," she says. With weeks of training under her belt, she began her first shift answering hotline calls, which would be forwarded to her home between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. It was Bridgette's job to know what to say. As minutes turned into hours, waiting for the inevitable became excruciating. "I did not want the phone to ring," she says. 1 had gone through all this, and I did not want the phone to ring." Taking a break from her job as assistant development review manager for the city of College Station, Bridgette tells me how each phone call bolstered her confidence and helped her discover an unknown strength from within. "I'm a real crybaby. And amazingly, I've never cried on the phone. I get a strength from somewhere — I guess it's because you have to be the strong person," she says. "[The Rape Crisis Center] puts you through a lot of good training. They can give you so much reassurance, and it gives you that confidence you need." Juggling act Bridgette's average work day starts around 4 or 5 in the morning when she squeezes in a little studying before heading to work. She's taking 10 hours at Texas A&M University, an experience she shares with her oldest son, 18-year-old Jeffrey. Because class times cut in to her work hours, Bridgette often makes up for it by working on Saturdays or coming in at 7 a.m. Volunteering on evenings and weekends isn't a burden for Bridgette because it simply requires her to be near her phone during certain hours — hours that can be spent studying, doing laundry, helping kids with homework or even sleeping. And once in a great while, a victim will request Bridgette's presence at the hospital to undergo a rape-kit examination, a http://www.theeagle.com/brazossunday/faces/102101 faces.htm 10/22/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle>Lifestyles>Faces Page 3 of 3 brutal yet necessary step in prosecuting rapists. "It's not pleasant," she says of the rape kit. "Sometimes you're all they have, and they know that you're there to support them." The forensic exam takes place in a tiny room with specially trained nurses and hospital staff. Although Bridgette stands in the back of the room, she understands the comfort a volunteer's presence brings to the victim. "It's really hard. Many times, they're calm, and when they start doing the exam they'll start crying. And you're just sitting there helpless," she says, noting the process can take as long as two hours. "You're sitting in there, watching her cry. And all you want to do is go over there and hug her." Bridgette says giving back to the community in such an emotional capacity requires a little bit of time but a lot of compassion. "To be sexually assaulted ... I can't imagine anything worse," she says. "And you may be the only person they ever talk to."

Announcements Business&Technology The rates could be lowered, however, if another bargaining group Classifieds —which includes Bryan and Temple — is able to get a better Columnists settlement. Community The Eagle The College Station City Council approved a deal with TXU on Entertainment Thursday night that calls for a 14.5-percent increase in gas costs Faith&Values for residential customers and a 24-percent increase for Food commercial users. Health & Fitness Kids Korner The agreement sets the cap for local industrial and transportation Lifestyles customers at a 708-percent increase. In reality, those customers Newspapers in — Texas A&M University, the College Station Medical Center and Education Scott & White Health Clinic — could see actual increases lower Obituaries than residential and commercial customers, said attorney Opinions Geoffrey Gay, who was hired by College Station, Waco and a few Politics other cities within the region to handle the settlement. Region/State Schools Gay told the council that the settlement was much lower than Sports what the region probably would have gotten had it appealed Subscriptions TXU's rate-hike request to the Texas Railroad Commission. If the Weather appeal had gone to the Railroad Commission, Gay said, rates would have been even higher because TXU would have had to pass the cost of legal fees onto its customers. TXU is attempting to bring gas costs in line for the 89 cities in its south region, as almost all of the cities have paid different rates dating back to when Lone Star Gas was the area's provider. Gay said College Station's increase seems so large because its gas 1(W rates had been the second lowest of all cities in the region. "College Station will pay the same as any other customer in the http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/102601 counciltxusettlement.htm 10/26/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 2 of 2 region, but the impact will be greater," Gay said. The new rate for residential customers will be $1.7840 per 1,000 cubic feet of gas, or Mcf— which is the industry's standard unit. That will be on top of a $7 customer charge. Commercial rates will be $1.7913 per Mcf for the first 20 units, $1.4913 for the next 30 units and $1.3413 per Mcf if use is over 50 units. There is also a $12 customer charge. TXU's Bryan manager Don Fazzino said the price increases are necessary because the demand has grown over the past several years.

Community The Eagle For example, platting a subdivision or erecting a building can Entertainment require multiple sets of ordinances, which can sometimes slightly Faith &Values conflict or require different wording for the same scenario, so the Food issue may bounce back and forth between different boards. Health & Fitness Kids Korner College Station is hoping to clear up some of the confusion by Lifestyles streamlining all of its building codes into a single document, called Newspapers in the Unified Development Ordinance. It will mark the first time in Education p Obituaries more than two decades that the codes have received an overhaul. Opinions Politics "The idea is to make it more user-friendly and to address Region/State inconsistencies that exist within our current codes," said Sabine Schools Kuenzel, senior planner for the city. Sports Subscriptions The review period is tentatively slated to run through the end of Weather January. However, the council has stated that the review process could take longer, if needed, to ensure that all questions have been addressed. Beginning Dec. 15, the city will set up a speaker's bureau that will be available to discuss changes with groups throughout the community. College Station plans to adopt the new development ordinance in April, officials said. Copies of the 300-plus page draft can be downloaded from the city's Web site — www.ci.college-station.tx.us — or purchased from the city fir S1.5_ http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/112501csaimstosimplifycodes.htm 11/27/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 2 of 3 The document, which is currently available for review until at least Jan. 30, puts building permit guidelines, zoning categories, development standards, legal requirements and enforcement policies in one place. It does not deal with operational issues such as rental regulations or behavioral issues such as loud parties, Kuenzel said. Even if the language is still hard to understand, the effects the new codes could have on the community probably will not be, officials said. Along with outlining the stipulations and procedures for future developments, the document sets standards to help protect College Station's older neighborhoods, such as Eastgate and Southside. Members of the College Station City Council, as well as the Planning and Zoning Commission, have repeatedly voiced concerns over the changing face of the city's older neighborhoods, which have become home to an increasing number of rental properties for students. The trend has homeowners worried about a decrease in property values, as well as losing their one-time family-oriented neighborhoods. The development ordinance will set standards for the maximum area a building can cover on a property. It will also ensure similar lot sizes and prevent new structures from being closer to the front or back of the property lines than homes that already exist on its street, Kuenzel said. She said the unified development ordinance will set guidelines for new construction, including height restrictions, maximum building coverage and open space requirements for subdivisions. Another major change will be the combination of commercial zoning categories. Under the old system, some businesses often fit into multiple categories, making them confusing to developers and often allowing a gray area for businesses. Under the new development ordinance, there will be four commercial zones: light commercial, heavy commercial, office commercial and a conditional use classification. Conditional use permits would need approval from the City Council. The idea of a unified code was first kicked around by the College Station Council in the late 1990s because of inconsistencies i` within the current ordinances, many of which dated back to the 1970s. Eventually, money and time were allocated by the city so that ctnff ninnn Xniith rnnci dtnntc rni drl hanin raMritinn tha rnrJac http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/112501 csaimstosimplifycodes.htm 11/27/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 3 of 3 1I 1-1 VLV , NlVlly YY 1U1 VVIIV MILuIIIV, VV41M VVylll IVYYI I�IIIy ♦IIV VVIAVV for the first time in almost 25 years. • Christopher Ferrell's e-mail address is cferrell theea le.com ©2000,_2001 The Bryan/College Station Eagle Privacy Statement L http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/112501csaimstosimplifycodes.htm 11/27/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 1 of 2 the6aglexom i P ' Home Classifieds I Aggiesports.com I Subscribe ` Contact I Site Map Region/State November 26, 2001 Births BrazClub M etingalley Notebook Judge may resolve local utility dispute Club Meetings College Town Datebook By LAURA HIPP Government Links Eagle Staff Writer Links Representatives from College Station will meet a federal Obituaries settlement judge in December to resolve a six-year dispute over Town Talk electric rates with Bryan Texas Utilities and the Texas Municipal Site Sections Power Agency.

Schools Sports The disagreement began in 1995 when College Station chose to Subscriptions purchase electricity from Texas Utilities Electric, now TXU Weather Electric, instead of the Texas Municipal Power Agency, of which Bryan is a partner. Power from TXU was transmitted to College Station over BTU lines. The cities and TMPA are debating the cost of wholesale electric transmission rates between Jan. 1, 1997, and Aug. 31, 1999. TMPA states that College Station owes the consortium more than $12.7 million in transmission fees and $3.8 million in interest and legal fees, according to documents filed with FERC in July. http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/11260lutilitieslawsuit.htm 11/27/2001 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 2 of 2 b I u is soli evaivatmg ine amount it Deneves uoiiege atavon owes, said Dan Wilkerson, utility director.

"We're going to Washington with the understanding that this is going to be resolved, and we hope that Bryan and TMPA are going with the same resolution that this will be resolved in a fair and equitable manner," Mcllhaney said.
