College Station History
In 2013, College Station celebrated the 75th anniversary of its
incorporation as a city. The community’s origins go back to the
founding of Texas A&M College, which opened in 1876 as Texas'
first state institution of higher education.
Because of the school's isolation, school administrators
provided facilities for those who were associated with the
college. The campus became the focal point of community
development. The area was designated as College Station,
Texas by the Postal Service in 1877. The name was derived from
the train station located to the west of the campus.
Growth of both the community and college influenced
residents' desire to create a municipal government, and the City
of College Station was incorporated in 1938. The incorporation
was a result of a petition by 23 men, representing on and off
campus interests, to the board of directors of the college. The board of directors had no objection to the
annexation and suggested that a belt around the campus be included in the proposed city.
Citizens voted 217 to 39 on Oct. 19, 1938 to
incorporate. The first city council meeting
was held on Feb. 25, 1939 in the
Administration Building on the A&M
campus.
The city council adopted a governmental
structure similar to the council-manager form
of government. At the time of incorporation,
state law did not allow a general law city to
hire a city manager. As a result, College
Station employed a business manager
until 1943, when state law was changed
to permit general law cities to make use of the
council-manager form of government. In fact,
College Station was the first general law city in the State of Texas to employ a city manager. When
College Station's population exceeded 5,000 in 1952, College Station voters approved a home rule
charter that provided for the council-manager form of government.
The first College Station City Council in 1938.

Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Introduction
I am pleased to present the Fiscal Year 2014 – 2015 approved budget for the City of College Station.
The budget is the most significant policy decision the City Council makes on an annual basis, because it
sets the strategic policy direction and provides the funding to implement that direction for the year. This
budget is about meeting the needs of the citizens and visitors of College Station as the City continues to
move through a period of strong growth. This manifests itself through continued growth in higher
education, through a robust visitor and tourism economy, and all of the ancillary things this growth brings.
This budget is a roadmap for addressing the priority needs of the City not only for this year, but for years
to come.
Key points influencing budget preparation
Texas A&M University reported to have more than 55,000 students enrolled this fall.
Blinn College is continuing to experience increases in enrollment.
Expansion of Kyle Field will bring additional visitors to the community in the years to come.
The Bio-Corridor continues to grow and expand.
The health care sector of the economy is continuing to grow.
Continued residential and commercial development throughout the city, especially in south
College Station.
How are we proposing to address this growth?
Providing additional Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Services for citizens and visitors.
Increasing Code Enforcement resources in an effort to preserve neighborhood integrity.
Maintaining existing infrastructure including the streets and traffic management systems, electric,
water and wastewater utility systems, parks and recreation facilities, and other city facilities.
Expanding infrastructure to meet the service demands that accompany growth.
Attracting and retaining a well-qualified workforce to ensure excellent service can be provided.
This is a critical period for the City given the growth that is continuing. How we respond to that growth will
determine what type of a City we will have for years to come. The past several years saw budget
reductions and some service reductions that were necessary given the economic realities at that time.
Budget Summary
The Fiscal Year 2014 – 2015 approved net budget for the City of College Station totals $253,088,535 for
all funds. Of this amount, $218,932,825 is approved for the operations and maintenance budget, and
$34,155,710 is approved for the capital budget. The Budget was prepared using policy parameters
provided by the City Council through its Strategic Plan, Fiscal and Budgetary Policies, and previous policy
direction from the City Council.
iii
The following are the City Council strategic initiatives that provide direction in budget preparation:
Good Governance
Financially Sustainable City
Core Services and Infrastructure
Neighborhood Integrity
Diverse Growing Economy
Improving Mobility
Sustainable City
Economic Conditions
Economic conditions are more positive than they have been in several years. Sales tax revenues have
been positive in the past year, and property values have increased as well. Growth has continued
throughout the City. In the northern part of the City, construction continues along the University Drive
Corridor with the construction of mixed use developments including Northpoint Crossing and the
upcoming redevelopment of the Chimney Hill shopping center. There is other multi-family activity
happening in the northern part of the City as well. There also continues to be activity in the Bio-Corridor.
Growth continues in the southern part of the City with the recent opening of the of the Strategic
Behavioral Health facility next to the College Station Medical Center. Also, a new Aerofit Health and
Fitness Center opened earlier this year adjacent to the College Station Medical Center. There is also
increased interest by business prospects to potentially locate in the College Station Business Center and
the Spring Creek Corporate campus. Retail development continues, especially in the southern part of the
City with new restaurants and other businesses opening and others under construction. The tourism and
hospitality industry continues to grow with 524 additional hotel rooms currently under construction in
College Station. The second year of construction of the multi-purpose synthetic fields in Veterans Park
was completed and the fields were utilized for the recent 7 on 7 football tournament, which was very
successful. These new facilities along with the Facilities Access Agreement in place for facilities at Texas
A&M University, will attract additional events that, otherwise, likely would not have come to the area.
Texas A&M University continues to see significant growth and development. The first phase of the Kyle
Field redevelopment was completed for the 2014 football season and the entire project will be completed
prior to the 2015 football season. As mentioned earlier, Texas A&M University enrollment is anticipated
to be around 55,000 this fall. Construction on campus continues to accommodate this growth.
All of this positive economic news puts strains on the city services, such as public safety, the
transportation system, utilities and other core services.
Tax Rate
The total certified value of property in the City of College Station for 2014 is $6,561,741,569. This is a
5.3% increase over last year, due in part to new property values from new construction of $215,166,820
added to the tax rolls. Existing property values increased by approximately 1.85% in 2014.
Based on the final property value numbers received from the Brazos County Appraisal District – the
effective tax rate for FY15 is calculated to be 41.4996 cents. The effective tax rate is the rate that will
raise the same revenues on the same properties this year as last year. The rollback tax rate is 45.2987
cents. The rollback tax rate is the highest rate that can be adopted before citizens can initiate a petition
to lower the tax rate to the rollback rate.
The FY15 Approved Budget was prepared with a tax rate of 45.25 cents per $100 assessed valuation.
This is an increase of 2.6542 cents from the FY14 tax rate of 42.5958 cents. The debt service portion of
the approved tax rate is 19.3053 cents, which is the rate necessary to meet the tax supported debt
obligations of the City.
iv
The approved operations and maintenance portion of the tax rate is 25.9447 cents. This will provide the
necessary revenue needed to support the approved General Fund budget. The 2.6542 cent increase in
the tax rate will fund service level increases in Public Safety (Police and Fire), Transportation and
Mobility, and streets and the traffic signal system directly related to the continued growth of the City.
Public Safety/Police – Approximately 0.6 cents will go toward the ongoing costs related to
additional personnel and equipment for the Police Department. This includes the addition of six
positions in the Police Department (two sworn traffic officer positions and four civilian positions),
three additional patrol cars and two additional motorcycles.
Public Safety/Fire – Just over 0.9 cents will go toward additional personnel for the EMS/Safety
Officer Program and the first four firefighters to staff a new Fire Department ladder truck in the
next couple of years. A total of 15 firefighter positions will need to be added to staff this new
ladder truck. This is part of the plan to complete the staffing at Fire Station #6 in the next few
years and address the need to have an additional ladder truck in the community. Funds were
also allocated by the City Council for increases in the Fire Department’s pay for sworn
employees.
Transportation and Mobility – Streets and Traffic System - The remaining 1.1 cents will
provide additional funds for transportation and mobility. This includes funds for street
maintenance and repair as well as an additional position to proactively fill potholes, and funds for
the first year of a five year implementation of a new intelligent transportation system master plan.
I believe these additions are a true investment in the future of College Station, as we address the
continued impacts of growth in the community.
The following chart shows the two components of the tax rate and the impact of the approved tax rate for
FY15 as compared to the FY14 tax rate.
Approved
FY 14 Change FY 15
Debt Service Fund 19.3053 0.0000 19.3053
General Fund 23.2905 2.6542 25.9447
42.5958 2.6542 45.2500
Each cent on the tax rate will generate approximately $609,000 in additional property tax revenue.
What has been done to reduce costs?
This is a reasonable question that should be asked every year, and especially when an increase to the
tax rate is considered. On a continual basis we look at ways to streamline and consider organizational
changes. This budget scrubbing was done over the last three to four years and resulted in budget
reductions along with the elimination of a number of positions. A total of $7.6 million was removed from
the City’s budget from FY09-FY13, which included the elimination of 63 positions, primarily in the General
Fund. This reduction in force provided resources for public safety priorities over the last several years. In
fact much of that savings realized between FY09-FY13 was reinvested into public safety with 48 Police
and Fire positions being added. There continue to be opportunities to reorganize and outsource. For
example, last year Parks and Recreation outsourced cemetery operations which resulted in the
elimination of three vacant positions and a net savings to the City. Other examples of recent cost saving
efforts include outsourcing a large portion of our park mowing and right of way mowing. Also, Parks
concession operations was outsourced several years ago. These are just some examples of
organizational changes that result in providing services at a lower cost.
v
Provide Competitive Compensation and Benefits
Maintaining a competitive pay and benefit structure allows the City to attract and retain well-qualified
employees who are on the front lines of providing services to the citizens and visitors of College Station.
The FY15 Approved Budget includes a 3.5% pool for performance pay increases for eligible City
personnel. This pay plan increase is projected to cost $1,292,859.
The budget also includes continued funding for the step plan in the College Station Police Department,
the pay plan in the Fire Department, and the pay plan in the Electric Department. Continuing the
implementation of these programs will allow these departments to be competitive in hiring and retaining
motivated and competent personnel. The budget also includes an increase in the pay scales for the
sworn positions in the Police Department and the sworn personnel in the Fire Department.
There are no significant changes in employee benefits for FY15.
Selected Service Levels Increases
Core Services and Infrastructure
Police Department
Additional resources are included in the Police Department budget to keep up with growth in the
community. These include funds to increase the pay scale by 3% for sworn positions in the
Police Department. The budget also includes a total of six new positions and associated
equipment and vehicles:
Two Traffic Officers
One Animal Control Officer
One Police Assistant/Civilian Training Coordinator
One Assistant Information Manager/Open Records Supervisor
One Public Safety GIS Analyst
These positions will allow the department to focus more resources on public safety as the City
continues to grow.
Fire Department
The approved budget for the Fire Department includes funds to replace Emergency Medical
Service equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. This includes cardiac monitors and
stretchers.
Also included are four firefighter positions to begin the staffing of a second ladder truck for the
City. This is the first of a multi-year plan to add a new ladder truck to be located at Station #6 on
University Drive.
Funds are also included to continue the implementation of a Safety Officer program. This
includes the addition of one Safety Officer (one was added last year). The goal at completion of
this program is to provide one dedicated Safety Officer on each of the three shifts to help the
incident commander identify on-scene hazards to reduce or eliminate injuries.
Additionally, per Council direction, a portion of the funds that were requested for the ladder truck
staffing and Safety Officer program SLAs was reallocated to fund a 3% pay scale adjustment for
the Fire Department’s certified personnel, which will help to attract and retain qualified firefighters.
Public Works
Funds are included in the Public Works approved budget to maintain the City’s infrastructure.
This includes $600,000 in increased funding for street repair. Also, one additional position is
included for other routine street maintenance such as pot hole patching and crack sealing. Funds
are also included to address maintaining the City’s facilities. Last year a facilities assessment
was completed that identified repairs that needed to be completed over the next several years.
vi
This budget provides more than $300,000 to begin addressing some of the repairs identified in
the assessment report.
The approved budget also includes an additional position to reestablish the herbicide program to
impede the growth of weeds along the drainage infrastructure, expansion joints, sidewalks,
medians and cracks along curbs and gutters.
Electric Utility
The Electric Utility budget includes additional funding for salary adjustments in order to attract
and retain qualified technician positions in the Electric Department. The budget also includes
funding for an Engineer in Training position to meet the needs of regulatory system planning and
modeling requirements.
Water Services
The Water budget includes two new field operator positions in the first year of a two year plan to
add an additional crew for water services that will be responsible for maintenance of the water
distribution system and wastewater collection system.
Parks and Recreation
Funds are included in the Parks and Recreation approved budget to address equipment needs
for the Parks System as well as court resurfacing, replacement of pavilions, and playground
equipment.
Neighborhood Integrity
Planning and Development Services
Funds are included in the approved budget for the implementation of components of
neighborhood plan projects that have been identified in recent years.
Community Services
An additional position is included in the approved budget for a Community Services Business
Manager. This position will work closely with the Director, Northgate District Staff and Code
Enforcement in the day to day operations of the functions. Last summer, the City Council
approved a budget amendment for an additional 0.5 Code Enforcement Officer, and a Staff
Assistant position to handle some of the clerical and administrative duties. This will allow the
Code Enforcement Officers to spend more time working on Code Enforcement issues.
There are other recommended service level adjustments included in the approved budget. A full listing of
the service level adjustments can be found in Appendix B of this document.
Capital Projects
The approved Capital Improvements Project Budget for FY15 totals $34,155,710 for all funds that include
capital projects. This budget amount does not, however, reflect all projected capital expenditures for
FY15. The total projected to be spent on capital projects, including both new appropriations and existing
appropriations, is approximately $58 million. These capital funds come from various sources including
General Obligation bonds authorized by the voters, Certificates of Obligation supported by the tax rate or
utility rates, and existing cash reserves from the General Fund, and the Utility funds. Associated
operating and maintenance costs needed for the projects that will be operational in FY15 have been
included in the approved budget.
FY2015 Utilities
The approved budget does not include increases in electric, water or wastewater rates. The approved
Sanitation Budget does include a rate increase in commercial sanitation rates of 15%. This rate increase
is needed to meet the cost of providing sanitation services to commercial customers. This is the second
of a planned increase in commercial sanitation rates.
vii
Conclusion
During one of the City Council strategic planning meetings the rhetorical question was asked, “What does
the optimally staffed and funded City look like?” Although this can be a challenging question to consider,
it is an exercise that needs to be undertaken to understand what levels of service are needed. While it
will never be possible to meet all of the demands of the community and priorities will always have to be
set, considering this question can provide some context to the budgetary challenges that exist, and what
may be necessary to address them. Increasing the tax rate is not something I recommend lightly.
However, during my tenure as your City Manager I have studied the needs of the organization carefully
and thoughtfully, and conclude that an increase in revenue for public safety and transportation/mobility is
in the best interests of the long-term future of the City of College Station. There will continue to be
significant service levels that will need to be addressed in the next several years, and addressing the tax
rate now, will make it easier to address those anticipated needs through increases in revenue that shoul d
come from much of the growth we are experiencing.
I would like to thank everyone who worked so hard to put this budget together, especially the budget team
that put countless hours into the preparation of the budget. I would also like to thank the Management
Team for working hard to identify key budget needs for next year. A final thanks goes to you, the City
Council, for your direction and leadership.
Sincerely,
Kelly Templin
City Manager

available on the City’s website at www.cstx.gov.
The budget document is presented by fund and is designed to provide decision makers with an overview
of City resources and how resources are utilized to accomplish the policy direction of Council. The budget
shows the City’s commitments and how the City meets the financial policies approved by Council. The
document is also designed to show services provided and associated costs.
Below is a summary of the Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Approved Net Budget.
Budget Format
The budget is presented in three sections: the Budget Summary, Fund Sections, and Appendices.

Fund Sections
The Fund sections of the budget provide a view of various services provided by the City and are
organized around the Governmental, Enterprise, Special Revenue, and Internal Service funds. This part
of the budget is designed to show services provided and the budget resources available.
Included in fund sections are the departments’ strategic plans. These plans include the mission statement
for the department, departmental goals, issues and needs, plans of action and key performance
indicators. The departmental strategic plans reflect the primary services that departments provide and ties
those to specific elements from the City’s Strategic Plan as directed by the City Council. The key
performance indicators are specific measures that illustrate how well levels of service are being met.
Also included in these sections are summary reports including fund summaries and department
summaries. Fund summaries include operational and non-departmental expenditure details for prior year
(FY13) actual revenues and expenditures, revised FY14 budget revenues and expenditures, FY14 year-
end estimates, FY15 approved base budget, and the total FY15 approved budget. Department
summaries include only the operations and maintenance expenditures within a fund. The financial details
of each division within a department, a summary of expenditures by classification type (salaries, supplies,
maintenance, purchased services, capital outlay, purchased power, other purchased services and indirect
costs), as well as a summary of personnel and list of all approved SLA requests are included on each
department summary.
Appendices
The final section of the budget is the Appendix, which includes supplemental information to meet specific
Charter requirements and provide an overview of the community. The appendices include a detailed
schedule of positions in the budget, the Fiscal and Budgetary Policies, and other schedules necessary for
a comprehensive budget document.
Budget Basis
The City organization is composed of various departments or general service areas. In some cases,
departments are represented within more than one fund. Each department consists of one or more
divisions and each division may have one or more activity (cost) centers. Routine budget controls are
exercised within activity centers at the category level (groupings of accounting objects into the categories:
salaries and benefits, supplies, maintenance, purchased services, and capital outlay). On an annual
basis, fiscal control is at the department level in the General Fund and at the fund level for other funds.
Also included in the budget is a summary of the approved Capital Improvement Projects Budget for FY15.
This includes the General Government Capital Projects, Utility Capital Projects and Special Revenue
Capital Projects.
Budgetary Management
The strategic planning and budget processes are integrated to ensure that policy direction is implemented
through the budget cycle. The development of the budget begins early in the calendar year with Budget
staff preparing salary and benefit information based on Council pay policy for the upcoming budget year.
The process continues through the spring and summer as departments prepare budget requests.
Salary and benefit amounts for regular full and part-time positions are budgeted approximately three
percent lower than actual salary costs to account for anticipated vacancies that may occur during the
fiscal year.
The Budget staff evaluated the FY14 budget prior to developing target budgets for FY15. Part of the
analysis involved identifying and removing budgets for all “one-time” expenditures (expenditure budgets
for one-time capital, special studies and other like items) that were included in the FY14 budget. Only
budgets for one-time items not anticipated to be completed in FY14 were included in the FY15 target
base budget. The target budgets were distributed to the departments to determine any changes that were
needed to reflect the department’s ability to provide services at the same level as the prior year.
2
A detailed review of departmental submissions was conducted to ensure that requests were complete
and within the guidelines set forth by City Council. The Budget and Financial Reporting Office prepared
and provided budget estimates to departments for many costs including salaries and benefits, equipment
replacement, utilities, and other operating costs. Certain costs within the budget were adjusted for
inflationary factors.
The base budgets were prepared by the departments and were designed to provide the resources
needed to maintain or expand current service levels. This year, in light of improved economic conditions,
department base budgets were not reduced to balance the budget. However, the budget was prepared
conservatively and most reductions made in previous years were carried forward into the FY15 budget to
maintain organizational efficiency. Any material changes in services have been submitted as Service
Level Adjustments (SLAs) and were considered by Council during the budget workshops.
SLAs are included in the approved budget based on several criteria: a) mandates due to federal or state
statutes or regulations, contractual agreements, local policies and capital projects; b) items directly
related to the strategic goals of Council; c) other items of general value to the City, either as additions or
replacements of efficiencies or improved services; d) items that maintain or expand existing service levels
in light of fluctuating demands for service. The approved SLA list is included in Appendix B. Many of the
approved SLAs are for one-time expenditures rather than for programs that have on-going costs.
As part of the FY15 budget development process, departments were asked to submit Strategic Business
Plans that were intended to outline departmental goals, issues, and key performance indicators.
Departments were also asked to assess and document the anticipated needs of the next three years
using the Strategic Business Plans as a framework to identify these needs. These needs were submitted
as part of a future years SLA request and have been used in developing the various Fund forecasts.
Fiscal and Budgetary Policies
Each year as part of the budget process, Fiscal and Budgetary Policies are reviewed. All Fiscal and
Budgetary policies are included in Appendix F in this document. The Fiscal and Budgetary Policies serve
as the framework for preparing the budget as well as for the financial management of the City. During the
budget preparation process these policies are reviewed with Council. Included in the FY15 Fiscal and
Budgetary Policies is an approved change to the contingency transfer policy. The City Manager now has
the authority to approve a contingency transfer ‘up to $50,000,’ which was increased from $15,000. The
$50,000 threshold is consistent with the contract amount that can be approved by City Manager and will
provide for more efficient operations.
Strategic Plan
In College Station, we continually strive for excellence. We conduct daily business as a City aiming to
provide our citizens with the best quality of life possible. The City Council and City staff work hard to

community based on the voices and opinions of those living in College Station. A highly qualified
workforce, an extremely engaged citizenry and a set of focused goals are the cornerstones of what make
this a successful community.
This is a one-of-a-kind community with a unique set of service demands from our citizens. As such, we

College Station Growth Trends
The 1990 Census reported the population of College Station to be 52,456 . The 2000 Census reported the
population to be 67,890. In 2010 the population Census count was 93,583. The current estimated
population, provided by Planning & Development Services, through September 2014, is 101,736. This is
a 48% increase in population since 2000, and a 91% increase since 1990. The population is projected to
grow by approximately two to three percent per year over the next five years.
*The above graph shows population growth in College Station over the last several years and projects an average 2.1%
growth from 2015 - 2018. 2014 reflects actual through September 2014 (source: Planning and Development Services Department).

1. Building Permits and Development: In 2013, the value of total building permits issued was
approximately $212.7 million. Single family residential, commercial and apartment permit activity has
increased so far this year from last year. From January through September 2014, 557 single family
home permits, 57 new commercial permits and 24 apartment permits were issued; whereas, 428
single family home permits, 49 new commercial permits and 9 apartment permits were issued for this
period last year.
From January through September 2014, the City issued permits with a total value of approximately
$236.2 million.Of this amount, $60.4 million in commercial construction was permitted and $175.8
million in residential construction was permitted. Much of this permitted value will likely turn into new
taxable assessed value in the next 1-2 years.
2. Unemployment Rate: The most recent statistics available from the Texas Work Force Commission
show an average local unemployment rate of 3.8% through September of 2014. This rate is below the
state average of 5.0% and the national average of 5.7%.
3.Ad Valorem Valuations: The certified taxable assessed values for 2014 are $6,561,741,569. This
represents an increase of $330,622,559 or 5.31% over 2013. Of the increase to assessed values,
$215,166,820, or 3.28%, is due to new value added to the tax rolls, and 1.76% or $115,455,739 is
due to increases in existing values.
Increases in ad valorem value this year are directly related to new construction and increases in
existing value in the City. Current residential and commercial projects underway are anticipated to
add to the ad valorem tax base in 2015. As taxable ad valorem value increases, particularly through
growth, it provides additional resources for both capital projects and operating and maintenance
costs. This increase provides additional revenues needed to meet increasing service demands
associated with growth in the City.
The approved ad valorem tax rate FY15 is 45.2500 cents per $100 valuation. This is an increase of
2.6542 cents from the FY14 tax rate of 42.5958 cents. The debt service portion of the approved tax
rate is 19.3053 cents, which is what is necessary to meet the tax supported debt obligations of the
City. The operations and maintenance portion of the tax rate is approved to be 25.9447 cents.

The approved tax rate will provide the revenue needed to support the approved General Fund
budget. The 2.6542 cent increase in the tax rate will fund service level increases in Public Safety
(Police and Fire), and Transportation and Mobility – Streets and the traffic signal system directly
related to the continued growth of the City.
Public Safety/Police – Approximately 0.6 cents will go toward the ongoing costs related to
additional personnel and equipment for the Police Department. This includes the addition of six
positions in the Police Department, three additional patrol cars and two additional motorcycles.
Public Safety/Fire – Just over 0.9 cents will go toward additional personnel for the EMS/Safety
Officer Program and the first four firefighters to staff a new Fire Department ladder truck in the
next couple of years. A total of 15 firefighter positions will need to be added to staff this new
ladder truck. This is part of the plan to complete the staffing at Fire Station #6 in the next few
years and address the need to have an additional ladder truck in the community. A portion of this
budget will also be used to fund increases in the Fire Department’s pay scale for sworn
employees.
Transportation and Mobility – Streets and Traffic System – The remaining 1.1 cents will fund
additional funds for transportation and mobility. This includes additional funds for street
maintenance and repair as well as an additional position to proactively fill potholes, and funds for
the first year of a five year implementation of a new intelligent transportation system master plan.
4. Sales Tax Revenues: Sales tax is the largest single revenue source for the General Fund,
accounting for approximately 41% of General Fund revenues. College Station saw sales tax numbers
decline in FY09 and FY10, and increase in FY11, FY12 and FY13. The FY14 year-end estimated
sales tax revenue included in the approved budget is projected to increase approximately 6.5% over
sales tax received in FY13 to $24,560,000. In FY15, sales tax revenue is projected to grow by
approximately 3% or $740,000 over the FY14 estimate. Moderate growth is projected for future years.

Property Tax Rate
The approved ad valorem tax rate of 45.2500 cents per $100 of valuation allows the City to fund growing
demands for service. This rate provides for a diversified revenue stream for the City of College Station,
which continues to have one of the lowest tax rates among surveyed Texas cities. The chart below
reflects a comparison of the FY15 approved rate to the approved rates of cities with a population from
75,000 to 125,000.

Economic Conditions
Economic conditions are more positive than they have been in several years. Sales tax revenues have
seen stronger growth in the past year, and property values have increased as well. Growth has continued
in the northern part of the City with construction taking place along the University Drive Corridor area.
This includes the construction of a number of multi-family complexes in the Northgate area. There also
continues to be activity in the Bio-Corridor area. Growth also continues in the southern part of the City
with the progress of new and expanded medical facilities including the opening of the Scott & White
Hospital and associated medical building off of Rock Prairie Road. There also continues to be retail
development in the Tower Point area and other areas of the City. Texas A&M University and Blinn
College also continue to see significant growth and development. Growth at Texas A&M includes the
redevelopment of Kyle Field, along with other initiatives including the long term increase in engineering
students that has been announced.
Financial Forecast
The financial forecast is a tool used to indicate the actual and possible results of decisions made by
Council over a number of years. The forecast has become an integral part of the planning and budget
preparation processes. The forecast provides an opportunity to think strategically about the best ways to
address growing service demand issues in the next several years. It also serves as the foundation for
continued financial planning in the next 12 to 18 months. An overview of the financial forecast was
reviewed with Council as part of the budget review process, and Council will continue to be updated
throughout FY15.
Revenues and expenditures will be monitored closely in FY15 to ensure any unexpected decreases in
revenues or increases in expenditures can be proactively addressed. Although the economy has
continued to improve, the City will continue to be mindful of the impact of future economic hardships and
will proactively address budgetary concerns to continue providing core services to the citizens of College
Station.
Utility Rates
The approved budget does not include rate increases for the Electric, Water, Wastewater, or Drainage
Funds for FY15. The budget does include a rate increase in commercial Sanitation rates of 15%. This
rate increase is needed to provide the resources needed to provide Sanitation services to commercial
customers. This is the second of a planned two-year increase in commercial sanitation rates.
Positions in the FY15 Budget
As a service providing organization, salaries and benefits account for the largest percentage of City
operating expenses. College Station is similar to other cities in this respect. Human resources are also
one of the primary assets of the City. When the cost of purchased power is excluded, personnel
expenditures account for approximately 62% of total City operating and maintenance expenditures. The
FY15 Approved Budget, including SLAs, funds 933.75 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions. This is a net
increase of 27.00 positions over the revised FY14 position count.
From FY09 through FY14, significant organizational restructuring was implemented that led to budget
reductions each year and the elimination of a number of positions. These reductions provided resources
that were utilized for public safety priorities during this time.
The base FY15 budget reflects an organizational change in the Planning and Development Services
Department that results in a net increase of 1.0 FTE. The departmental restructuring eliminated one of the
two Assistant Director positions. The budget for the Assistant Director position was then reallocated to
allow for the creation of a Plans Examiner position and a Customer Service Representative position.
These changes had no net budgetary impact, but resulted in the addition of one FTE to the base FY15
approved budget.
9
The FY15 Approved Budget includes recommended funding for 26 new positions. Nineteen of these
positions are in the General Fund. This includes the addition of six new positions in the Police
Department. These positions are one Police Assistant/Civilian Training Coordinator, one Assistant
Information Services Manager, one Public Safety GIS Analyst, one Animal Control Officer, and two sworn
Traffic Unit Officers. Approved position additions in the Fire Department include four Firefighter positions
for the ladder truck staffing and one EMS/Safety Officer position. Four positions are approved in Public
Works. These include a Landscape Supervisor position, an Engineer in Training position, a Staff
Assistant and an Equipment Operator. In the Parks and Recreation Department, an Irrigation Specialist
position is approved. A Community Services Business Manager position was approved in the Community
Services Department. In Fiscal Services, a Budget Analyst position and a Contract Administrator position
are were approved.
Also included in the FY15 Approved Budget is a SLA submitted by the Parks and Recreation Department
for the conversion of budgeted temporary/seasonal positions to full time positions. An estimated $105,000
of the salary and benefits budget included in the Parks and Recreation Department budget for funding of
temporary/seasonal labor was reallocated to fund 3 full-time Groundsworker positions. This conversion
had no net financial impact on the budget.
In the Electric Fund, two positions are approved. These positions are an Engineer in Training and a GIS
Technician. In the Water Fund, two additional Field Operators are included in the approved budget. A
Meter Services Technician is approved in the Utility Customer Service Fund. A Fleet Service
Porter/Runner is approved in the Fleet Maintenance Fund and an Equipment Operator is approved in the
Drainage Fund.
The City budgets for temporary/seasonal and part-time/non-benefitted employees are derived by
calculating the number of hours worked and approximating the number of FTE positions. The Approved
budget includes 53.75 FTE temporary/seasonal and part-time non-benefitted positions. The Parks and
Recreation Department makes extensive use of these funds for seasonal programs and other
departments also utilize these resources.

Approved Budget Changes (From Proposed)
The FY15 Approved Budget includes several changes from the FY15 Proposed Budget. These changes
were approved by City Council to be incorporated into the FY15 Approved Budgeted and result in a net
increase of $47,018 across all funds from the FY15 Proposed Budget to the FY15 Approved Budget.
The FY15 Proposed Budget did not include funding for additional pay increases in the Fire Department
Budget. As part of the City Council directed changes, a 3% increase in pay plans for the Fire
Department’s sworn personnel is approved in order to better align the department’s pay scales with other
local agencies at an estimated cost of $254,173. This increase is offset by reducing the requested
number of new positions in the Fire Department from 7 to 5. This reduction will provide $237,155,
resulting in a net increase to the General Fund budget appropriation of $17,018.
It was also recommended to increase EMS revenues to offset charges for disposable supplies, oxygen
and mileage rates charged. This fee increase will generate an estimated $93,000-$130,000 per year.
The City Council also provided direction to add $25,000 to the Hotel Tax Fund Budget for
nonprofit/charitable organizations that hold events at local hotels and meet the criteria for Hotel Tax use.
These funds will be distributed at the discretion of the City Manager and a policy will be developed to
provide parameters for this program.
Further direction was provided by City Council to reduce funding to the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau
(CVB) for the area of advertising in the amount of $104,115.75. These funds were reallocated to Public
Communications and Marketing to be used towards advertising aimed at encouraging visitors to the City
of College Station. This will have no net impact to the FY15 Approved Budget.
In addition, the FY15 Proposed Budget included $50,000 from the General Fund for funding of the Arts
Council of Brazos Valley (ACBV). It was proposed and approved that $15,000 of the Operations and
Maintenance (O&M) budget for ACBV be reallocated to the Hotel Tax Fund. This change will have no net
impact to the FY15 Approved Budget.
The City Council also provided direction for an increase in budget from $10,000 to $15,000 for the Noon
Lion’s Club 4th of July Celebration. This will increase the General Fund budget by $5,000.
The FY15 Approved Budget also includes two changes to the budget ordinance to increase the ability of
the City Manager to conduct the daily affairs for the City. The first change approved an increase to the
dollar amount that the City Manager can authorize for a Contingency Transfer. This change increases
the amount from $15,000 to $50,000, and brings the authority for contingency transfers in line with the
City Manager’s spending authority, which is also $50,000. The second change provides authority to the
City Manager to approve expenditures and change orders related to the ERP project.
Approved Compensation and Benefits Changes
Maintaining a competitive pay and benefit structure allows the City to attract and retain well qualified
employees who are on the front lines of providing services to the citizens and visitors of College Station.
The FY15 Approved Budget includes a 3.5% average performance based merit pool for pay increases for
eligible City personnel. This pay plan increase is projected to cost $1,292,859.
The budget also includes continued funding for the step plan in the College Station Police Department.
Continuing the implementation of the step pay plan will allow the Police Department to be more
competitive in recruiting and retaining officers. Also included in the base budget are career advancement
and skill pay plans for Fire and Electric employees. Continuing the implementation of these programs will
allow these departments to remain competitive in hiring and retaining Police Officers, Firefighters and
Electric personnel.
11
The Police Department FY15 Approved Budget also includes an SLA for a 3% adjustment to the pa y
scales for the Police Department’s sworn officers. This adjustment is requested in an effort to better align
the pay of the sworn officers with that of other local agencies. There is currently a disparity that this
adjustment is intended to help address. As part of the City Council directed changes, a 3% increase in
pay plans for the Fire Department’s sworn personnel is approved in order to also better align the
department’s pay scales with other local agencies. In addition, a pay related SLA in the amount of
$265,000 is included in the approved budget for the Electric Fund. The SLA is for an adjustment to the
salary rates of various technician positions within the utility in an effort to address a salary disparity with
similar positions in other utilities. This request will assist the utility with attracting and retaining the
technicians needed to plan, operate, construct, and maintain the electric utility system. In addition,
$237,500 has been included in contingency for targeted pay adjustments that are intended to address
pay disparities in certain position classes.
No increases in health benefit costs are budgeted in FY15. The FY15 employee health benefit package
will include one Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) option and one High Deductible option. Also,
there are no changes in the retirement benefit managed by Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS)
approved in FY15.
Capital Improvement Projects
The approved Capital Improvements Program Budget for FY15 totals $34,155,710 for all funds that
include capital projects. This budget amount does not, however, reflect all projected capital expenditures
for FY15. In the case of projects for which funds have already been approved and budgeted, the City may
continue to spend money to complete these projects without including the projected FY15 expense as a
new appropriation. The project budgets that have been appropriated carry forward until the project is
complete. Only portions of the projects that have not been previously appropriated are included as new
appropriations in the FY15 budget. The total projected to be spent on capital projects including both new
appropriations as well as existing appropriations is approximately $58 million.
In FY15, it is anticipated that capital project expenditures for general government, special revenue and
utility capital projects will be significant. Infrastructure rehabilitation and improvement projects are also
scheduled in FY15. Projects underway include a number of street projects from 2008 bond authorizations,
such as street rehabilitation and extension projects, facility projects, and park projects.
There are also a number of Electric, Water and Wastewater capital projects that will incur expenses in
FY15. Projects underway include electric infrastructure expansion, water line extensions, rehabilitation
projects, and plant improvements. These projects are discussed in greater detail later in the budget
overview and in the capital projects section of this document.
The capital plan directly addresses the Core Services and Infrastructure strategy.
Financial Fund Structure
The accounts of the City are organized by fund, each of which operates separately and independently of
one another. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing
accounts that are comprised of assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures.
Major funds are any governmental fund that has revenues, expenditures, assets and/or liabilities that
constitute more than 10% of the revenues, expenditures, assets, or liabilities of the total governmental
funds budget. Additionally, the fund must be 5% of the total revenues, expenditures, assets and/or
liabilities for the combined governmental funds and enterprise funds budget. Any fund the government
feels is of considerable importance to financial statement readers may also be designated as a major
fund.
12
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources. The budgets for
the Governmental Funds are prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. This is the same measurement focus and basis of accounting used
for governmental fund financial statement reporting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the
current period. The City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 30 days of the end
of the fiscal year. Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is incurred, with the
exception of several items. The full listing of these items can be found in the Financial Policies beginning
on Appendix page F-1.
Major Governmental Funds
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. All general tax revenues and other receipts that
are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund.
General operating expenditures, fixed charges, and capital improvement costs that are not paid through
other funds are paid from the General Fund.
The Debt Service Fund accounts for the financial resources accumulated for the payment of principal,
interest and related costs on long-term debt paid primarily from taxes levied by the City. The fund balance
of the Debt Service Fund is reserved to signify that the amounts are restricted exclusively for debt service
expenditures.
The Streets Capital Projects Fund accounts for the costs of street construction and improvements and
traffic signalization made with funds primarily provided by proceeds from the sale of long term debt
(General Obligation Bonds and Certificates of Obligation) and by investing those proceeds.
Non-Major (General) Governmental Funds
Non-major governmental funds include the Economic Development Fund, Efficiency Time Payment Fee
Fund and the Chimney Hill Fund. For financial statement reporting purposes, these funds are reported as
a part of the Governmental Funds. These funds are budgeted as distinct funds. They are prepared using
the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Non-Major Governmental Capital Projects Funds
Non-major governmental capital projects funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for
the acquisition or construction of significant capital facilities. Funds include the Parks and Recreation
Capital Projects Fund and the Facilities and Technology (General Government) Capital Projects Fund.
These funds, combined with the Special Revenue Funds, are reported as Non-Major Governmental
Funds for financial statement purposes.
Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally
restricted to expenditures for specific purposes. Funds include the Hotel Tax Fund; Community
Development Fund; Wolf Pen Creek (WPC) Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District Fund; Court
Technology Fee Fund; Court Security Fee Fund; Juvenile Case Manager Fee Fund; Truancy Prevention
Fee Fund; Police Seizure Fund; Recreation Fund; Park Land Dedication (Parks Escrow) Funds; the
Memorial Cemetery Fund; the Memorial Cemetery Endowment Fund; the Texas Avenue Cemetery
Endowment Fund; the Public, Educational and Governmental Access Channel Fees Fund (PEG); the
West Medical District TIRZ No. 18 Fund; the East Medical District TIRZ No. 19 Fund; the R.E. Meyer
Estate Restricted Gift Fund; and the Drainage Fund. All special revenue funds are considered non-major
and are prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual
basis of accounting.
13
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise funds account for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of government facilities and
services that are self-supported by user fees. The budgets for these funds are also prepared using the
modified accrual basis of accounting and the current financial resources measurement focus. The budget
measures the net change in working capital (current assets less current liabilities). Enterprise Fund
financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual
basis of accounting, where revenues are recorded when earned. Expenses are recorded when a liability
is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, a measurement focus adjustment is
necessary to arrive at Actual Working Capital because the enterprise funds’ working capital results from
using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting for financial
statement purposes. The City’s enterprise funds are listed below.
Major Enterprise Funds
The Electric Fund accounts for the activities necessary to provide electric services to the residents of the
City. These activities include administration, distribution system operations and maintenance,
transmission system operations and maintenance, capital improvements, financing, and related debt
service. Billing and collection services are accounted for separately as an internal service fund.
The Water Fund accounts for the activities necessary to provide water services to the residents of the
City. These activities include administrative services, water production and distribution system operations
and maintenance, capital improvements, financing, and related debt service. Billing and collection
services are accounted for as an internal service fund. The Wastewater Fund accounts for the activities
necessary to provide sewer collection and treatment services to the residents of the City. These activities
include administrative services, wastewater system operations and maintenance, capital improvements,
financing, and related debt service. Billing and collection services are accounted for as an internal service
fund.
Non-Major Enterprise Funds
The City’s Sanitation Fund and Northgate Parking Fund are non-major enterprise funds. Additionally, the
City has several impact fee funds that are not budgeted. These include the Harley Davidson Area,
Service Area 92-01, Spring Creek Area, Alum Creek Area, and Steeplechase Area Funds.
Internal Service Funds
Internal service funds account for services and/or commodities furnished by a designated program to
other programs within the City. Funds include the Insurance Funds (Property and Casualty, Employee
Benefits, Workers’ Compensation, and Unemployment), Equipment Replacement Fund, Utility Customer
Service Fund, and the Fleet Maintenance Fund. The funds are considered non-major and are budgeted
on the modified accrual basis of accounting.

Net Budget Expenditure Comparison
The table below shows the approved net budgeted expenditures for FY15. Total expenditures are
budgeted to be $253,088,535, which is a 0.92% decrease from the FY14 Approved Budget. Transfers
from the fund balance for capital projects in FY15 are budgeted to be $11,267,014 and the net approved
capital budget is $22,888,696. The latter two items will provide a total of $34,155,710 of new budget
appropriation for capital projects.

Budget Overview
The following sections provide an overview of the Governmental Funds, Enterprise Funds (including
Capital Project Funds), Special Revenue Funds, and Internal Service Funds. The text below focuses on
the various City departments and functions provided by each department. Descriptions of changes to the
base budget and service level increase or decrease requests are included in the text.
Governmental Funds
Police Department
The Police Department provides a number of
services that help keep the community safe.
Services provided include: 1) police patrol with
certified police officers who are assigned to
specific areas of the City and who are equipped
with police vehicles and all necessary equipment;
2) criminal investigation for the investigation of
reported crimes; 3) animal control; 4)
communications and emergency medical
dispatch support for police, fire and EMS; 5)
short term jail/detention facilities that reduce the
processing time of arrests; and 6) a recruiting
and training division that serves as a support and
training function for the Department.
The Police Department FY15 Approved Budget
includes twelve service level adjustments (SLAs).
The first SLA is for a 3% adjustment to the pay
scales for the Police Department’s sworn officers. This adjustment is an effort to better align the pay of
the sworn officers with that of other local agencies. There is currently a disparity that this adjustment is
intended to help address. Other pay related SLA requests made by the department include pay for a
Corporal Intermediate Rank and Mental Health Peace Officer Incentive pay. The patrol division does not
currently have an intermediate rank between the Sergeant position and the line-level officer. The Corporal
Intermediate Rank pay will provide a stipend for line officers who serve as a Corporal on an as needed
basis. Over the past several years, the Police Department has seen an increasing demand for service
from the Mental Health Community. To better serve these demands, the department has trained 16
officers as Mental Health Police Officers. This SLA request is for the addition of an annual incentive pay
for these officers.
In the past several years, a number of sworn officer positions were added to the Department in order to
keep up with the growth and growing demands of the City. For FY15, the Department requested several
support positions due to the increasing demands on the administrative functions. The first of the staffing
SLAs is for the addition of a Police Assistant/Civilian Training Coordinator position. The addition of this
position to the Recruiting and Training division will allow a civilian to take the responsibility of managing
all civilian hiring and conducting background investigations and pre-employment testing. This will allow
the current officers in the division more time to focus on training the department's sworn officers. Also
requested is an Assistant Information Services Manager/Open Records Specialist. The day-to-day and
open records request demands within Information Services Division have increased substantially. This
position will provide additional support in this area. A third position requested is for a Public Safety GIS
Analyst. The Police and Fire Departments require a Public Safety GIS Analyst position in order to provide
enhanced public safety services to citizens. The Police Department provides a geographical
accountability model of policing to citizens and both departments strive to minimize response time. This
position will also provide GIS support during critical incidents and will assist the departments in preparing
products as needs arise. A significant tool to accomplish these goals is a robust graphical information
system that will be provided by the new Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management System
(CAD/RMS). It is important that both the Police and Fire Departments have shared personnel in place to
The above graph illustrates calls for service. A “call for
service” is activity that requires action by an officer/employee
of the Police Department, be it self-initiated or based on a
civilian’s request for service. These include criminal offenses
and miscellaneous non-criminal incidents.

provide updates to these critical GIS resources so that operational components of the CAD/RMS function
properly and meet the ever-increasing demands of public safety personnel.
The FY15 Police Department requests also include an SLA for an additional Animal Control Officer. In
FY12, due to a department reorganization and an increase in fleet maintenance requirements, the Animal
Control Supervisor position was upgraded to a Support Services Manager. This position supervises
Animal Control and the fleet functions. This change significantly improved fleet maintenance, but resulted
in the loss of a working Animal Control Officer position. This request will bring the total count of Animal
Control Officers from three to four, which will significantly increase the Department’s ability to respond to
animal control calls. Also requested in FY15 is the addition of two Traffic Unit Officer positions. The
growth of the city has increased the amount of traffic that travels our roads daily. Due to budget
reductions a few years ago, the unit lost two officers. In order to be most effective, the unit needs to
expand by two officers and return to its original size of six officers.
An additional SLA request in the Police Department for $162,950 is intended to address increasing costs
in existing service areas. The largest item in the request is for ammunition. The price of ammunition
increased exponentially in recent years and it has become extremely difficult to purchase. This request
includes $100,000 for the purchase of three-years’ of ammunition that can be stored for use. Other items
as part of this SLA include rental fees for training facilities, contract amounts for Sergeant and Lieutenant
assessment boards, an increase in the awards budget to adequately recognize and honor employees, an
increase in the tactical budget to cover the cost of safety vests for SWAT officers and TAC medics, an
increase in buy funds for the special investigations unit for use during investigations, an increase in
vehicle maintenance budget, and maintenance funds for the TASERS and forensic software programs.
Other equipment SLAs requested by the Police Department include an SLA for equipment in the
Northgate Booking Station and an SLA for additional TASER units. The Northgate Booking Station
Equipment SLA is for the purchase of hand-held radio units and inclement weather gear for the holding
facility staff. The TASER SLA request is for the purchase of 10 additional TASERS, along with an
assurance plan designed to lock in a price with the initial purchase with a percentage of that price paid
into the plan over five years. At the conclusion of the five years, the department receives a new device at
the previous price with the latest technology available. The Police Department SLA requests also include
the addition of three patrol cars to the fleet. The total number of fleet vehicles for the Uniform Patrol
Division is currently inadequate to support department needs. The addition of these vehicles will help
accommodate all of the demands and maintenance support necessary.
Fire Department
The Fire Department provides services
to College Station, Texas A&M
University, and the City of Bryan—
through an automatic aid program—and
to rural areas around College Station
through mutual aid agreements. The
Fire Department currently operates six
stations located throughout the City.
The basic services provided by the Fire
Department include: 1) fire response; 2)
emergency medical response; 3) fire
prevention services, including
commercial fire safety inspections and
fire prevention training at local schools
and various functions; and 4) hazardous
material response.
Fire Department approved FY15 budget includes a City Council directed change to the department’s pay
plan and three SLAs that will promote the City Council priorities to efficiently, effectively, and strategically
place and deliver core services and infrastructure that maintains citizens’ health, safety and general
welfare.

Per City Council direction, approximately $254,173 will be allocated for pay increases in the department’s
pay plan. This adjustment is an effort to better align the pay of the firefighters with that of other local
agencies. There is currently a disparity that this adjustment is intended to help address.
The first SLA allocates $435,834 for the replacement of Emergency Medical Service equipment. This
request will replace current cardiac monitors and patient stretchers that have reached the end of their
service life.
A second SLA in the amount of $158,737 is approved for funding the addition of one EMS Safety Officer.
The addition of an on-shift Safety Officer will increase the safety of firefighters working during emergency
incidents and will help the incident commander to identify on-scene hazards that will reduce or eliminate
injuries. The FY14 budget included the addition of one Safety Officer/EMS. Per City Council direction, the
proposed SLA was reduced to remove one Safety Officer position in order to fund departmental pay
increases. It is anticipated that an additional on-shift Safety Officer will be requested in future years to
complete the staffing for this program.
The third SLA in the amount of $313,668 is for four firefighter positions in order to staff the Fire Station #6
ladder company. This ladder company will provide initial response to all high-rise buildings on University
Drive and the Texas A&M campus. The Fire Department opened Fire Station #6 in December 2012 to
provide improved fire and EMS services to the northern part of College Station. Funding for the
operations and maintenance costs of the new fire station, including staffing, training, supplies and
equipment will be phased in over several years. It is anticipated that additional firefighters will be
requested in order to complete the original staffing request for the ladder company.
Public Works Department
The Public Works Department consists of the following divisions: Capital Projects; Facility Maintenance;
Streets Maintenance; Traffic Signals; Traffic Signs; Landscape and Irrigation Maintenance; and
Administration. The department is also responsible for Drainage Maintenance, Sanitation, and Fleet
Services. Public Works Administration Division is responsible for the daily administrative functions of
the department.
The Traffic Engineering Division conducts and reviews traffic engineering studies and plans and
evaluates on-street parking throughout the City. Additionally, the Traffic Engineering Division engages in
public education, special programs, and project management of related capital projects.
The Facilities Maintenance Division provides support services to City departments through the
maintenance of City facilities. This includes heating, ventilation and cooling systems. Additionally,
Facilities Maintenance personnel perform minor building construction and remodeling activities. The
Division also repairs and/or replaces equipment in a timely manner. A facility assessment was conducted
in the fall of 2013 and the Facilities Maintenance Division set up an anticipated maintenance and
corrective repairs schedule to address some of the issues identified as part of this assessment. Three
SLAs are approved in this division. The first SLA in the amount of $305,377 is for funding to address a
number of the corrective repairs that have been identified. Funds were also budgeted in FY14 to address
corrective issues identified and the FY15 funds will continue the repairs needed. A second SLA for
$16,264 is to increase the ongoing maintenance funds for all facilities that the City maintains. The intent
of this SLA is to better align the budget for ongoing City-wide maintenance with anticipated costs. A third
SLA in the amount of $56,715 is approved to fund a Facilities Maintenance Staff Assistant position to
provide resources needed to meet additional facilities maintenance needs arising from the growth of the
City.
The Capital Projects Division is responsible for the administration of the City’s capital improvement
plan. This includes the management of projects approved with bond elections such as streets, fire
stations, libraries, and others. Several of the capital projects for public utilities such as Electric, Water,
Wastewater, and Drainage are also handled in this division. A FY15 SLA for $100,761 is approved for the
addition of one Engineer in Training necessary to manage increasing project workload as a result of the
growth of the City and the associated rehabilitation and extension of City infrastructure.
19
The Streets Maintenance Division of the
Public Works Department strives to
ensure that the street system within the
City of College Station is properly
maintained. This is done through a
number of programs, including a street
rehabilitation program that addresses
street repair before more expensive
reconstruction measures are needed. The
Streets Maintenance Division coordinates
with the Engineering and Capital Projects
Divisions to plan and develop major street
projects. The Streets Maintenance
Division also provides other routine
maintenance services such as pothole
patching and crack sealing. The
effectiveness of this service is measured by the average pavement rating of the City’s streets. The
citywide average pavement rating for 2014 is an 86 out of 100, which means that city streets are in good
condition overall. A decision matrix is used to determine the maintenance strategy for a particular
roadway and is based upon the type of distresses present, the density of the distresses, and the roadway
classification. Funding is included in the FY15 budget for the Division’s pavement maintenance and
rehabilitation plan.
Two SLAs are included in the approved budget for the Streets Maintenance Division. One SLA requests
$600,000 in funding to continue the rehabilitation and upgrade of streets due to increased traffic pressure.
This will provide a new surface that provides a safer route and protects the original infrastructure
investment. A portion of this SLA, $454,000, is approved as recurring expenses, and the balance
($146,000) is approved for one-time costs. A second SLA request in the amount of $91,140 is for a
Pothole Program Equipment Operator who will assist in the monthly inspection of all streets for asphalt
failures and initiate repair work orders.
The Landscape and Irrigation Maintenance Division is responsible for the city-wide maintenance and
repair of all irrigation lines and equipment outside of those maintained by Parks and Recreation. This
division’s primary goal is to implement water conservation efforts consistent with the Green College
Station Action Plan. A SLA for $183,500 is approved for a Landscape Maintenance Program that will
include funding for Landscape Maintenance Supervisor to improve efficiencies in City-wide landscape
maintenance. As a result of increasing maintenance responsibilities, both the Parks and Recreation
Department and the Public Works Department have worked together to clearly identify each department’s
responsibilities for city-wide parks, rights-of-ways, and mowing. In doing so, a gap was identified in the
landscape maintenance area. This SLA would bring all of the landscaping functions under one supervisor.
Also included as part of this SLA is funds for contracting out some of the identified landscaping needs.
The Traffic Signs & Markings and Traffic Signals divisions service and maintain integral traffic flow
control mechanisms throughout the City. The system is critical to City operations, most notably during
peak traffic times such as the very busy Texas A&M football season. These divisions are also responsible
for maintaining and repairing traffic signals and school warning devices in order to provide safe and
efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians. A SLA in the amount of $152,050 is approved for the
operations and maintenance (O&M) costs related to the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) master
plan. In 2013, an ITS Master Plan was developed to identify any deficiencies in transportation system
technology such as signal controllers and central system software. The ITS Master Plan project has been
included as a CIP project in the approved budget. It is anticipated that the capital project costs will be
debt funded, but the associated O&M costs are being approved as part of this SLA that will be funded by
the General Fund. A second SLA requests $35,500 for the purchase of a Traffic Signal Service Vehicle
that will assist in day-to-day operations and be used to deploy and test new ITS field equipment.
Parks and Recreation Department
The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) is responsible for College Station park facilities and
recreational programs. The PARD budget is split between the Recreation Fund and the General Fund.

The Recreation Fund includes Sports Programs, Aquatics, Xtra Education programs and Teen and Senior
programs. The remaining Parks and Recreation activities, such as maintenance of park facilities, heritage
programs, athletic tournaments, special events at the Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater and other park
locations throughout the City, and cemetery maintenance and operations are budgeted in the General
Fund of the Parks and Recreation Department.
Recreation Fund Divisions:
Each program within the Recreation Fund has a fully costed budget, which not only includes revenue and
direct costs, but also includes indirect administrative costs, field costs, General and Administrative
transfers, as well as the subsidy provided by the General Fund.
The Sports Division includes programs such as Adult Softball, Adult Volleyball, Youth Basketball, Youth
Football, Youth Volleyball, Adult Kickball, Challenger Sports, Tennis, Summer Track and several non-fee
programs.
The Instruction Division is comprised of the Xtra Education Program which provides citizens of all ages
the opportunity to enhance their quality of life through various continuing education programs that are
offered at various sites throughout the City.
The Southwood Center and Lincoln Center Division - Several teen and senior activities take place
daily at the Southwood Center and the Lincoln Center is a community/recreation center that provides
positive programming and serves as a satellite center for social services.
The Aquatics Division supports three City pools,
programs at the CSISD Natatorium, the splash pad
at the Lincoln Center, swim lessons, water fitness,
the swim team and the stroke clinic.
The PARD Recreation Fund budget includes three
approved SLAs which will increase the budget by
$43,500. The first of these SLAs is for the purchase
of a floor scrubbing machine for use at the Lincoln
Center. The second SLA is for the estimated costs
estimated to renovate the Splash Pad at the Lincoln
Center in order for it to be operational. The third
Recreation Fund SLA is for funding to host the
annual Texas Public Pool Council annual conference
in January 2015. The conference will bring in over
300 aquatic professionals participants to College
Station. The cost of this SLA will be offset with Hotel Tax
Funds.
General Fund Divisions:
The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) Administration Division serves as the primary point of
contact for customers and provides administrative support to the rest of the department. This division also
provides coordination, design and administration of some of the parks and recreation capital improvement
projects, graphics support, marketing development, emergency shelter operations and website
administration.
The PARD Recreation Division oversees Youth and Adult Athletics, Aquatics, Instruction programs and
Tournament events.
The PARD Special Facilities Division includes the coordination of Heritage events. Additional budget,
including a part time position, is included in the City Secretary’s Office budget.
The Parks Operations and Cemetery Division is responsible for maintenance and operations of the
City park facilities, athletic facilities, selected streetscape areas, the City Cemetery and the Memorial
Cemetery. This division also provides support for special events, programs and other City activities.

The PARD General Fund budget includes a number of approved SLAs, the majority of which reflect one-
time additions to the budget in FY15 that will not carry forward to future years. The first SLA allocates
$210,150 for the purchase and upgrade of various PARD equipment, which will allow for better
maintenance of the PARD facilities and parks. The next four SLAs will fund one-time improvements and
replacements at various parks and includes court resurfacing ($8,000), playground equipment and
resurfacing ($442,000), and pavilion repairs and replacements ($123,000). Also included is a transfer of
$12,000 from the General Fund to the Park Land Zone 2 Fund to be used toward the playground
equipment and resurfacing project at University Park. In addition, a $40,000 one-time cost has been
budgeted for the addition of lights to the parking lot at the Bachmann Park. Also included in the approved
budget is $50,000 for ball field light maintenance. The department will use these funds to contract out
maintenance for all ball field and athletic field lighting. Budget in the amount of $35,000 has also been
approved to fund one-time trail repairs at Jack and Dorothy Miller Park . Two SLAs have been approved to
facilitate administrative roles of the department. The first, in the amount of $13,350, is to upgrade time-
tracking systems at off-site locations. The second, approved for $18,550, is for digital signage at PARD
locations to notify staff members that do not have access to computers of important messages and
announcements. The last SLA included in the approved PARD budget is for the addition of an Irrigation
specialist position and a vehicle needed to adequately and effectively maintain and repair the City’s
irrigation systems for all City parks.
As part of the PARD FY15 budget submission, a request was submitted to convert several
temporary/seasonal positions to full-time Groundsworker positions in the Operations Division of Parks and
Recreation. With the addition of new athletic fields and parks to the City of College Station, additional full-
time staff is needed to help to maintain existing and planned playing fields and parks. This conversion will
have no net financial impact on the budget.
In addition to the above, three SLA have been included in the PARD approved budget for items that will
be funded using Hotel Tax funds. These items will be budgeted in the PARD budget, but a transfer from
the Hotel Tax Fund will be made to cover the cost. The first of these SLAs, in the amount of $65,500, is
for tournament/event equipment needs to be utilized primarily at Veteran’s Park & Athletic Complex. The
second SLA request, in the amount of $10,000, is for the 2018-2019 Games of Texas bid fee. Lastly, an
SLA request in the amount of $15,000 is approved for additional travel and training that will allow staff to
attend additional conferences and meetings and give them the opportunity to meet with and attract new
and diverse events / tournaments to College Station.

Development Services continues to identify and implement opportunities for streamlining processes within
the department.
One SLA, in the amount of $100,000, is approved in the Planning and Development Services
Department. This SLA will be used for neighborhood plan implementation projects. Resources are
necessary to facilitate the implementation of these adopted plans to achieve the objectives anticipated by
the plans and expected from residents and property owners.
In FY14, the Community Services Division was created within the General Government Department. The
Community Services Department is responsible for Community Services Administration, Community
Development, Code Enforcement and the Northgate District Management functions that were previously
in the Planning and Development Services Department. In addition, the Neighborhood Services Division,
previously in the Planning and Development Department, was moved to the Public Communications
Department in FY14.
Information Technology Department
Information Technology (IT) implements and maintains the technology and computer based information
systems used by all City Departments. The IT department includes IT Administration, Technology
Services (formerly Management Information Services (MIS)), Business Services, Network Services,
Geographic Information Services (GIS), E-Government, Mail, and Communication Services.
Six SLAs are approved in FY15. The first of these SLAs, in the amount of $13,200, will add an
independent internet path and provide increased bandwidth which will result in faster response times for
all applications that relay on the internet connection. A second SLA request in the amount of $37,500 is
for the implementation and configuration of a Security Information and Event Management system. This
system will accept logfiles from firewalls, web servers, file servers, etc. The data would then be
normalized and analyzed for easier management and alerting. In addition, funding increases are
requested for network and equipment maintenance. An increase in network services maintenance
budgets, in the amount of $15,000, will maintain all network servers and switches. A $10,000 increase in
equipment maintenance will assist in the maintenance of the City’s PCs, printers and scanners. The fifth
SLA requests $5,950 for Council IPAD replacement. As part of the effort to move to paperless agendas,
IPADS were issued in 2012 and FY15 is the scheduled replacement year. The sixth SLA is for funding in
the amount of $30,000, for the Tyler Technology Operating System Data Base Administration (OSDBA)
services. This SLA will fund ongoing support including installations, upgrades, routine maintenance, and
database tuning for the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
Fiscal Services Department
The Fiscal Services Department provides fiscal administration, accounting operations, treasury, and
purchasing, budgeting and financial reporting services to the City. This department also oversees the
operations of the Municipal Court and Utility Customer Service.
Treasury handles cash and debt issues for the City while ensuring all funds are prudently invested. The
Accounting Operations and Purchasing Divisions work closely together to ensure that purchases are
properly made and recorded. Municipal Court collects fines and fees for the City while providing the City
with administration for cases filed for enforcement of Class C misdemeanors. The Office of Budget and
Financial Reporting prepares, monitors, and reviews the annual budget, coordinates the annual audit and
prepares financial reports.
The FY15 Approved Budget for Fiscal Services includes four SLAs. The first SLA coincides with the
Police Department request for a 3% adjustment to the pay scales for the sworn officers. This adjustment
is requested in an effort to better align the pay of the sworn officers with that of other local agencies. In
Fiscal Services, this SLA would apply to the sworn Warrant Officer positions in Municipal Court. The
second request, in the amount of $73,915, is for the addition of a Budget Analyst position. In order to
sustain and increase the level of service provided, an additional Budget Analyst position is needed. As
the City continues to grow, the expectations and demands for the Analysts' services continue to increase.
The third SLA in Fiscal Services is for the addition of budget in the amount of $75,000 to be able to
contract services to assist with documenting new processes as part of the new ERP system
23
implementation. With the implementation of the new ERP System it will be critical to accurately document
new processes, procedures and controls. This is a one-time request. The fourth SLA request in Fiscal
Services, in the amount of $81,714, is for the addition of a Contract Administrator position. This position
will coordinate the various contract duties and functions throughout the organization. In late 2012, the
Internal Auditor completed an internal audit on Contract Administration. This audit recommended the
creation of a city-wide contract administration policy, as well as ensuring contract administrators are up to
date on knowledge and skills by holding regularly scheduled contract administration training. In order to
implement these recommendations to improve contract administration, additional resources are needed.
General Government Department
The General Government Department includes many of the administrative functions of the City.
The Mayor and Council Division accounts for expenditures related to Council functions such as
education and training.
The City Secretary Division is responsible for elections, records management, City Council support and
other activities.

recommendations to the City Council, and providing short and long-term direction to the organization.
The Legal Division provides legal services and support to City Council and City staff. Among the
services provided by this office are legal advice, land acquisition, contract writing, and litigation. A
$26,500 SLA is requested to purchase a legal department automated case management system. An
automated and electronic file and matter management system designed for a municipal legal practice
would allow the Legal Department to better manage both the assignment of work to attorneys and support
staff, maintain the numerous emails and correspondence which must be maintained as part of the legal
file, and monitor the performance of the Legal Division.
The Public Communications (PC) Division provides for the dissemination of City information through
various internal and external communications channels. The PC budget includes the allocation of
resources used for media and marketing related services. The PC Division works with all city departments
to develop promotional, educational and communication products. In FY14, the Neighborhood Services
division merged into the Public Communications division. Neighborhood Services maintains collaborative
partnerships among neighborhoods, community organizations and the City. A SLA is approved to fund
$15,000 for a Neighborhood Grant Program that will match funds available to registered neighborhood
associations and homeowners associations with approved projects for signage, beautification and
community building.
The Community Services Division was created in FY14 and is responsible for Community Services
Administration, Community Development, Code Enforcement and the Northgate District Management
functions that were previously in the Planning and Development Services department. A SLA in the
amount of $76,707 is approved to fund a Community Services Business Manager position. This position
will work closely with the Director, Northgate District Staff and Code Enforcement in the day-to-day
operations and assist with financial oversight.

by the Insurance Funds). The Human Resources Division is responsible for the strategy and
implementation of the compensation and benefits program for all employees. The division also manages
the recruiting and hiring of qualified candidates for City positions. In addition, policy interpretation and
performance management programs are coordinated through Human Resources. The Risk Management
function seeks to limit the exposure of the City to physical and financial losses through a number of
programs that address worker safety. The Human Resources FY15 Approved Budget includes two SLAs.
24
One SLA is for additional funds ($8,000) requested in order to upgrade to the division’s
copier/scanner/printer. The current copier is due for replacement and these additional funds will be used
to purchase a higher capacity model than what is currently budgeted for replacement. The second SLA
requests $125,000 to fund a comprehensive City-wide salary survey that will help the City align its hiring
practices to recruit, retain and engage employees.
Other General Fund Expenditures
There are a number of expenditures budgeted in the General Fund that do not fall under the purview of
any one department. Miscellaneous expenditures within the General Fund include $1,194,007 for public
agency funding, $53,333 for consulting services and $80,000 for other miscellaneous items. Also included
is $487,500 is for contingency. The contingency amount includes $237,500 is for targeted pay

overview. In addition, a net total of $2,610,594 is included for interfund transfers. This includes an
interfund transfer of $2,329,559 from the General Fund the Recreation Fund for the Recreation Fund
subsidy. A detailed list of the non-departmental budgeted expenditures can be found in Appendix I.
Debt Service Fund
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for ad valorem tax revenue collected to pay for authorized
general government debt. The approved debt service portion of the ad valorem tax totals 19.3053 cents
per $100 valuation, which accounts for approximately 42.7% of the tax levy.
Economic Development Fund
The City created an Economic Development Fund to account for resources and expenditures directed at
providing incentives for businesses and industries that are planning to locate in College Station.
Resources set aside for economic development purposes will be transferred into this fund and remain in
the fund until expended. General Fund dollars in the amount of $375,000 are approved to be transferred
into the Economic Development Fund in FY15. Expenditures in the amount of $429,254 are approved in
this fund for economic development cash assistance incentives.
Efficiency Time Payment Fee Fund

College Station. Anticipated revenues in FY15 total $6,573. Total approved expenditures are $4,160 for
the printing and distribution of collection notices, as well as for the purchase of software to interface with
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
Chimney Hill Fund
The Chimney Hill Fund accounts for the receipt and expenditure of funds received by the City for the
operation and maintenance of the City’s Chimney Hill property. In FY15 revenues from all rents and
royalties and facilities maintenance expenditures are approved for only one month. In FY09, Hotel Tax
Funds were used toward the purchase of the Chimney Hill property for the purpose of building a
convention center. In FY11, Council determined that it no longer intends to construct a convention center
on the purchased property and the property was put up for sale. Council approved the purchase & sale
agreement of the Chimney Hill property between the City, Research Valley Partnership, and PM Realty
Group on December 12, 2013 for the purchase price of $7.5 million. The proceeds from the sale of the
property, as well of the balance of the Chimney Hill Fund, will be transferred to the Hotel Tax Fund
following the sale of the property.
Enterprise Funds
Electric Fund
College Station's Electric Utility provides for the construction of new facilities needed to extend electrical
service to new consumers, performs repairs and maintenance as needed to maintain the electric system,
and installs and maintains street lights and rental lights. Electric Utility personnel maintain over 20 miles
25
of electric transmission lines, 7 electrical substations, and over 450 miles of overhead and underground
electric distribution lines.
Seven Service Level Adjustments (SLAs) are included in the FY15 Approved Budget. Several of these
SLA’s were related to pay and staffing within the department. The first SLA, in the amount of $265,000 is
for an adjustment to the salary rates of various technician positions within the utility in an effort to address
a salary disparity with similar positions in other utilities. This will assist the utility with attracting and
retaining the technicians needed to plan, operate, construct, and maintain the electric utility system. A
second approved SLA, in the amount of $96,577 is for the addition of an Engineer in Training (EIT)
position. This position will help the utility meet the needs of regulatory system planning and modeling
requirements, will provide oversight and project management for substation projects assigned to
contractors, will provide various engineering studies and system maintenance and growth plans, will
install software updates to substation equipment, and will provide backup to supervisory personnel in the
substation area. The third SLA is for the addition of a GIS Technician position in the amount of $63,531.
This position will be responsible for updating and maintaining the GIS system in order to keep up with
system changes/updates and to provide the electric model on a frequent basis to help meet the objective
of providing reliable and safe service.
In addition to the aforementioned SLA’s, several SLA’s were approved for equipment and services. These
included an SLA in the amount of $61,600 for the purchase of Class 3 safety gloves, sleeves and
blankets. This purchase will allow the utility to upgrade the gloves for all the members of the transmission
and distribution line crews from Class 2 to Class 3. As part of the upgrade, rubber sleeves will also be
purchased. This will better protect the linemen from personal injury and will equip them to provide
assistance to other municipal utilities during major outage events. The fifth SLA, in the amount of $25,500
is for a contract to provide professional labor support to the Electric System Substations group to monitor,
test, and replace the SF6 gas in the 81 devices currently in the CSU electric system. Due to the high cost
of the compressor equipment required to sample, evacuate and filter SF6 gas for reclaiming, it is planned
to have these devices checked by bid contract on a four year rotating maintenance cycle. Additionally, a
HEPA filter vacuum cleaner needs to be purchased for the proper handling of solid residue resulting from
SF6 decomposition after the pressure vessel has been evacuated. The sixth SLA, in the amount of
$6,500, is for 7-year cycle background checks. The City of College Station is mandated by Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission/ North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical
Infrastructure Protection (CIP) regulations to perform a Personnel Risk Assessment (to include an identity
verification and seven-year criminal check) on any personnel having authorized cyber or authorized
unescorted physical access to Critical Cyber Assets. This SLA is to cover the cost of the group updated
background checks and the ongoing background checks as new employees are added. The final SLA, in
the amount of $100,000 is for the transmission right-of-way maintenance program. In 2009, the Electric
Utility began trimming trees to meet NERC regulations for transmission right-of-way clearing and access.
The Electric Utility has a three year maintenance cycle for this work in order to maintain the transmission
line right of way and improve access and reliability. This SLA is included so that the work can be
conducted during the 2015 budget year.
No rate increase is included for the Electric Fund in FY15.
Water Fund
The City of College Station has the capacity to produce approximately 30 million gallons per day of
potable water. The Water Division has developed high standards of reliability that assures customers’
needs are met with a water supply that meets or exceeds all federal and state mandated standards. As a
City enterprise, the full cost of service for water production, transmission and distribution is recovered by
charging customers for consumption on a per unit basis.
Six SLA requests have been included for the Water Fund in the FY15 approved budget. The first SLA, in
the amount of $60,000, is for the rehabilitation of transfer pump #3. The SLA provides for the removal,
inspection and replacement of wear parts, as needed, for one vertical turbine transfer pump and motor.
This pump has reached the end of the expected service life. A second SLA is for the purchase of a trailer
with traffic control safety equipment that would meet the requirements of the current Texas Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The SLA request is for $30,000. The third SLA, in the amount of $5,250
is for an increase to the department’s training budget so that it will better align with training needs. A
26
fourth SLA is for the addition of a tractor to the department’s fleet. The department is currently using a
‘surplus’ tractor for easement mowing. It is anticipated that the tractor can provide several more years of
service, but it is not currently on the schedule for replacement. This SLA, in the amount of $21,000, is for
the funds that will be contributed to the Equipment Replacement Fund on an annual basis so that the
tractor can be replaced when it reaches the end of its service life. Funds for maintenance are also
included in the SLA. The fifth SLA, in the amount of $74,509, is for the addition of two field operators. It is
anticipated that an additional operator and a crew leader will be requested in FY16. This Crew will be
largely responsible for inspecting, testing, documenting and coordinating efforts to ensure that newly
constructed infrastructure is built to specification prior to City acceptance. This will allow the department
to better address the demands of system growth. Finally, an SLA in the amount of $1,000 has been
requested in order to monitor for chemicals that might indicate contamination of the drinking water aquifer
as the result of hydrofracturing.
No rate increase is included for residential or commercial users in the Water Fund in FY15.
Wastewater Fund
Effective sanitary sewer collection and treatment is essential to public health in an urban environment.
Over the last several decades, standards have increased for this infrastructure. Past upgrades to the
Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant were directly related to changing standards. As the system
continues to grow, additional capital will be needed. The existing system will have to be maintained with
line replacements and plant enhancements and expansions. Wastewater services are provided as an
enterprise function with service related fees paying for the cost of service.
The FY15 Approved Budget includes seven SLAs in the Wastewater Fund. The first SLA, in the amount
of $60,000, is for the installation of anti-fall devices at several older lift stations. These devices are
intended to prevent an employee from falling into the wetwell, which can be over 30 feet deep. The newer
lift stations have these devices installed as part of the original construction. The second SLA is for a
comprehensive Wastewater Master Plan update. This SLA is estimated to cost $250,000 and will re-
evaluate growth projections/demands, re-calibrate the City's current wastewater model, and develop a
capital improvements outlay that will increase system capacity for the future. The update will also re-
evaluate existing wastewater treatment facilities against TCEQ Chapter 217, re-evaluate sludge
processing alternatives, and re-evaluate nutrient removal alternative processes. A third SLA, in the
amount of $9,750, is for an increase to the department’s training budget so that it will better align with
training needs. The fourth SLA, in the amount of $50,000, is for the replacement of diffuser stones at the
Lick Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (LCWWTP). These stones provide the efficient distribution of
needed oxygen to maintain healthy bacteria populations that treat the raw wastewater. The stones utilized
in the aeration basins at LCWWTP have reached their expected service life and should be replaced to
ensure continued efficient operations and regulatory compliance. The fifth SLA, in the amount of
$138,000, is for the purchase of and related costs to an additional dump truck. The purchase of this truck
will ensure reliable transport of solids out of both wastewater treatment plants. The sixth SLA is for budget
in the amount of $10,000 to be used for additional nutrient sampling and lab analysis. More sampling is
needed to better understand the nutrient concentrations, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus levels, as
they change throughout the treatment process. This data will be converted into information by a
consulting engineer to best design the expected nutrient removal systems for future regulatory
compliance. Finally, an SLA in the amount of $1,000 has been requested in order to monitor for
chemicals that might indicate contamination of the drinking water aquifer as the result of hydrofracturing.
No rate increase is included for the Wastewater Fund in FY15.
27
Sanitation Fund
The Sanitation Division of Public Works
provides services that meet the City’s
solid waste collection needs. These
services include providing residential
containers, curbside recycling, brush
and grass clipping collection, street
sweeping and the removal of waste.
Commercial services are also provided
to local businesses and includes
collection in small and large containers.
Customers with greater volumes have
the option of using roll-off containers
that are serviced by front load collection
equipment.
Revenues for FY15 are estimated to be $8,839,711. This reflects a 6.93% increase over the FY14
Revised Budget.
The approved budget for residential and commercial Sanitation operations for FY15 is $6,854,431.
Included in this amount is an SLA for the ongoing operations and maintenance cost related to the
purchase of a Grapple Brush truck for brush collection operations. Continued growth in the City has
generated the need for an additional truck for heavy brush collection. In an effort to mitigate the initial
financial impact on the Sanitation Fund, the actual purchase of the vehicle will occur in the Equipment
Replacement Fund and the recurring costs will occur in the Sanitation Fund. The Sanitation Fund will
reimburse the Equipment Replacement Fund for the cost of this vehicle in future years.
Non-operating expenditures are budgeted for $951,982. Included is $722,034 for the utility transfer to the
General Fund as well as $403,910 for the Twin Oaks Landfill debt service payment. The expenditure for
the debt service payment will be offset by reimbursement received from the Brazos Valley Solid Waste
Management Agency, Inc. (BVSWMA, Inc.). The non-operating expenditure budget includes street-
sweeping costs which, beginning in FY14, are offset by transfers from the General Fund and the
Drainage Fund. Funding in the amount of $52,740 is approved in the Sanitation Fund for Keep Brazos
Beautiful (KBB). This includes a new request for funding start-up costs for a Community Garden site in
South College Station for $2,500 and $4,000 for a Wildflower Seed Project. Base request will be used for
operations, the Demonstration Garden at the Texas Ave & George Bush site, along with beautification
and litter abatement. The total FY15 approved expenditures for the Sanitation Fund are $8,609,503.
A 15% rate increase for commercial customers has been approved for the Sanitation Fund in FY15. This
rate increase is needed to provide the resources needed to provide Sanitation services to commercial
customers. This is the second year of an anticipated two-year increase.
Northgate Parking Fund
The Northgate Parking Fund accounts for parking operations in the Northgate district of the City. This
includes the surface parking lot on Patricia Street, the College Main Parking Garage and on-street
parking in the district. FY15 approved revenues from parking fees are $1,185,350 and approved revenues
from fines are $215,506. A Northgate parking rate fee adjustment was implemented in August 2013. The
rate adjustments focus on peak rates and special events and are intended to raise the revenue needed to
support the Northgate Parking Fund while having a minimal impact on Northgate businesses.
Approved expenditures for Northgate District parking operations are $499,991. Also included in the
Northgate Parking Fund is budget related to non-parking costs in the amount of $192,426. This budget is
included in the Northgate Parking Fund as the Northgate Parking staff handle these functions. However,
funds are budgeted to be transferred from the General Fund to offset this cost.
The approved budget also includes $466,375 for the debt service payment related to the College Main
Parking Garage. Budget is also included for two projects at the Parking Garage. The first is $217,805 for

expenditures are $1,420,247.
Special Revenue Funds
Hotel Tax Fund
The City receives a tax of 7% on room rental rates from persons staying in hotels within the City. The
City’s use of Hotel Tax funds is limited by State law to be used for the promotion of tourism in the City of
College Station.
Total approved City operating expenditures in the Hotel Tax Fund include $591,211 for expenditures
related to Parks and Recreation Programs & Events. Programs in the budget include items such as the
Starlight Music Series, National & Regional Athletic Tournaments, and other events that are eligible for
Hotel Tax funds. Five service level adjustments related to Parks & Recreation programs and events are
approved with the FY15 budget. The first SLA request is for $10,000 to host the Texas Public Pool
Council annual conference in January 2015. A second SLA requests $65,500 for tournament/event

meet with and attract new and diverse events / tournaments to College Station. The fifth SLA is for
$160,000 to purchase of a portable stage to be utilized for special events throughout the City.
Other City operating expenditures budgeted in FY15 include $200,000 for soliciting and hosting of sports
tournaments in College Station and $19,000 for other miscellaneous programs and events. In FY15 the
City Council provided direction to reduce funding to the Convention and Visitors Bureau in the area of
advertising in the amount of $104,116. The funds will be redistributed to Public Communications and
Marketing to be used for advertising the City to encourage visitors to come to College Station. Also
included is $77,866 for staff costs in the Public Communications (PC) Department. PC staff members will
be responsible for strategically creating marketing materials that help increase tourism to College Station
and its many amenities. In addition, PC staff will introduce College Station to other markets through the
development of brochures, promotional videos, and marketing and advertising materials. It is anticipated
that these responsibilities will be shared among PC staff members resulting in the time spent on the
activities equating to one FTE position. The primary focus will be to create high-quality collaterals needed
to bring tourism dollars to College Station. The position will be budgeted in the General Fund and Hotel
Tax funds will be transferred to the General Fund to cover the expenditures related to eligible activities.
The approved budget contains $25,000 for nonprofit/charitable organizations that hold events at local
hotels and meet the criteria for Hotel Tax use. These funds will be distributed at the discretion of the City
Manager.
A total of $2,062,694 of Hotel Tax funding is approved in FY15 Budget for Outside Agencies. This

funding and $38,000 for marketing and public arts support; $15,000 to Veterans Memorial to begin
development of the American Civil War Memorial at Veterans Park; and $25,000 for the Bryan/College
Station Chamber of Commerce. In FY14, the budgets for Brazos Valley Bowl and the Northgate District
Association advertising moved to the CVB Grant Program funding. Also beginning in FY14, the George
Bush Presidential Library is considered as part of the ACBV Affiliate Funding.
In FY09, Hotel Tax Funds were used toward the purchase of the Chimney Hill property for the purpose of
building a convention center. In FY11, Council determined that it no longer intends to construct a
convention center on the purchased property and the property was put up for sale. The proceeds from the
sale of the property, estimated at $7.5 million, as well of the balance of the Chimney Hill Fund, will be
transferred to the Hotel Tax Fund following the sale of the property.
Community Development Fund
Community Development helps provide low cost housing and other public assistance through Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Grant funds from the federal government. These funds are
29
used to assist low to moderate-income residents of College Station. Assistance is provided through
housing services, public agency funding, public facility improvements, and community development
activities.
Wolf Pen Creek (WPC) TIF Fund
The Wolf Pen Creek Tax Increment Finance (TIF) Zone generates revenues that must be utilized within
the Wolf Pen Creek District. The TIF expired December 31, 2009. A total of $1,235,044 has been
estimated for a payment in FY15 to College Station Independent School District for the balance of the
school district's portion of unspent WPC TIF funds. The WPC TIF Fund will be closed following the
expenditure of the balance of the funds, which is estimated in FY15.
West Medical District TIRZ No. 18 Fund & East Medical District TIRZ No. 19 Fund
In October of 2012, the City Council approved an amendment of the City’s Comprehensive Plan to
include the College Station Medical District Master Plan. To realize the vision and economic development
opportunities included in the Master Plan, significant barriers to development must be overcome. These
barriers include, but are not limited to lack of basic infrastructure (potable water, fire flow, sanitary sewer,
etc.) to serve development in the area and lack of transportation capacity (vehicular, pedestrian, etc.) to
meet the mobility needs present in the area.
The approved Master Plan identified a series of financial and management tools necessary to overcome
these barriers and to maximize the development potential of the area. A key tool identified in the Master
Plan is the use of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones (TIRZ). Staff approved the establishment of two
TIRZ in the District.
A TIRZ is a political subdivision of a municipality or county in the state of Texas created to implement tax
increment financing. TIRZ are special zones created to attract new investment to an area. TIRZ help
finance the cost of redevelopment and encourage development in an area. Taxes attributable to new
improvements (tax increments) are set-aside in a fund to finance public improvements within the
boundaries of the zone.
Established in December 2012, the West Medical District TIRZ #18 encompasses the area near the
State Highway 6/Rock Prairie Road Bridge and includes both The Med Hospital and the Scott & White
Hospital. Development projects in this area include Rock Prairie Road (East and West), Normand Drive
Extension, and other public works. It is projected that new development in this portion of the District will
meet or exceed $117 million over a twenty year period. This development activity would yield an
increment of approximately $8.4 million in tax proceeds. These proceeds would be used to fund the
required improvement projects, either through repayment of debt or on a “pay as you go” cash basis.
The City of College Station is the only participant in this TIRZ at this time. In FY15, an estimated
$192,085 in ad valorem tax will be collected in the West Medical District TIRZ #18. Inter est earnings in
the amount of $2,500 are also estimated. No expenditures are projected for FY15.
Established in December 2012, the East Medical District TIRZ #19 encompasses the area east of the
State Highway 6/Rock Prairie Road Bridge and includes most of the undeveloped properties within the
District. Development projects in this area include Rock Prairie Road (East), Barron Road, Lakeway
Drive, potable water, fire flow water supply, greenway trails, sanitary sewer service, and other public
works. It is projected that new development in this portion of the District will meet or exceed $283 million
over a twenty year period. This development activity would yield an increment of approximately $30.8
million in tax proceeds. These proceeds would be used to fund the required improvement projects, either
through reimbursement to private developers, repayment of issued debt, “pay as you go” basis, or a
combination of these and others.
The City of College Station is the only participant in this TIRZ at this tim e. In FY15, an estimated $1,005
in ad valorem tax will be collected in the East Medical District TIRZ #19. Interest earnings in the amount
of $50 are also estimated. No expenditures are budgeted for FY15.

used for one-time equipment and other purchases to assist in police activities.
Memorial Cemetery Fund
This fund accounts for two thirds of the proceeds from sale of cemetery lots as well as other revenue that
is collected through the Memorial Cemetery and Aggie Field of Honor. The fund also accounts for
expenditures on projects that take place at this location. A transfer to the Debt Service Fund, in the
amount of $262,795, is included in the FY15 Approved Budget for the Memorial Cemetery Fund. This
transfer reflects one-third of the annual debt service payment. The balance of the Memorial Cemetery
related debt service will be paid from the Debt Service Fund. The portion of the debt service to be
covered by the Memorial Cemetery Fund is forecasted to increase in future years, but the Memorial
Cemetery Fund will continue to be monitored in future years to ensure that this can be supported. The
operations and maintenance for this cemetery are budgeted in the General Fund in the Parks and
Recreation Department.
Memorial Cemetery Endowment Fund
This fund accounts for the remaining one-third of the proceeds from sale of cemetery lots at the Memorial
Cemetery, which includes the Aggie Field of Honor. FY15 approved expenditures include $10,000 for the
continued marketing efforts of the cemetery.
Texas Avenue Cemetery Endowment Fund
This fund accounts for the proceeds from sale of cemetery lots at the Texas Avenue Cemetery. The fund
also accounts for expenditures on projects that take place in the cemetery. There are no expenditures
anticipated in this fund in FY15. The maintenance and operations for this cemetery are budgeted in the
General Fund in the Parks and Recreation Department.
Public, Educational and Governmental (PEG) Access Channel Fee Fund
While the PEG Fee has been collected for a number of years, the PEG Fee Fund was established in
FY14 due to changes in legislative requirements. The balance of the PEG fees collected in prior years
($266,573) was transferred into the PEG Fee Fund. The FY15 PEG Fee Fund revenues are estimated to
be $44,000. Expenditures of $81,120 are approved in FY15 for educational and governmental

interests of the citizens of College Station and its surrounding community
R. E. Meyer Estate Restricted Gift Fund
The R. E. Meyer Estate Restricted Gift Fund was established in FY14. Robert Earl "Bob" Meyer passed
away in October of 2013. As part of his Will, he generously bequeathed a portion of his estate to the
College Station Parks and Recreation Department, with the gift being restricted for the benefit of
programs for senior citizens. During Mr. Meyer's lifetime, he loved and supported the many senior
programs offered by the Parks and Recreation Department Senior Services.
A total of $116,250 from the estate has been received to date with the balance expected to be received in
in FY15 after the remainder of the Will is executed. In accordance with Mr. Meyer's Will, these funds will
be used for the purpose of programs designed to benefit senior citizens. No funds are currently planned
for expenditure in FY15. As programming plans are developed, it is anticipated that these funds will be
budgeted for future expenditure in accordance with the agreement.
Drainage Fund (O&M)
The Drainage Maintenance Division is part of the Public Works Department, but is funded from the
Drainage Fund. The Drainage Maintenance Division is responsible for the care and maintenance of the
drainage ways throughout the City. Mowing rights-of-way and creek cleaning are the primary activities of
this division, as are taking steps to mitigate the impact of drainage-related issues that may affect the
health and public safety of the City’s residents.
Four SLAs are included in the Drainage Fund approved budget. The first SLA is for the addition of an
Herbicide Program. This SLA includes the addition of one position. This program is designed to spray
herbicides to prevent the growth of weeds along drainage infrastructure, expansion joints, sidewalks,
cracks along curb and gutters. The primary value to the City is to reduce further deterioration of cracks
that allow moisture to damage both the pavement and the base. Grass in the streets also inhibits the
operation of street sweepers to clear debris. A second approved Drainage SLA is for the replacement of a
Trimble Unit as the existing unit has met the end of its service life. This device is used in the field to
identify GIS coordinates of projects in the field. This is primarily used to locate and map irrigation
systems, storm drains and inlet boxes. A third SLA in the Drainage Fund is for the purchase of a Mini
Excavator. This piece of equipment is needed to clean out culverts and ditches. This equipment is smaller
and better able to get into tight spaces than other city-owned equipment of this nature. Currently the
division has to rent this piece of equipment when it is needed and the cost of renting long-term is
ultimately much higher than purchasing the equipment. Lastly, an SLA has been approved to better align
the overtime budget with actual expenditures.
No rate increase is approved for the Drainage Fund for FY15.
Internal Service Funds
The City has established several internal service funds for areas where goods and services are provided
to City departments on a cost-reimbursement basis. The Internal Service Funds include the Insurance
Funds, the Equipment Replacement Fund, the Utility Customer Service Fund, and Fleet Maintenance
Fund. Each of these funds receives revenues from City departments to which services are provided.
Internal Service funds have revenues transferred from departmental budgets on a monthly basis to
ensure that funds are available for related expenses.
Insurance Funds
The City of College Station has four funds for insurance purposes, all of which are self-funded.
Property and Casualty Fund
The Property and Casualty Fund ensures that the City can adequately cover potential property and
liability losses. Budgeted premiums are based on the actual amounts charged to departments to cover
the City’s Property and Casualty costs. Estimated premium revenue for FY15 is $952,086. Estimated
investment earnings are $3,788 and other revenues, including subrogation, are projected to be $75,000.
32
The total approved revenues for the Property & Casualty Insurance Fund are $1,030,874. Approved
expenditures in this fund are $983,944. Contributions to this fund fluctuate based on anticipated
expenditures.
Employee Benefits Fund
The Employee Benefits Fund is self-funded and provides medical coverage to covered City employees
and dependents. Estimated revenues for the employee benefits fund total $9,232,124 for FY15, and
approved expenditures total $9,207,773. Expanded choices for coverage, including a high deductible
plan, continue to be offered to offset rising health care costs. In addition, $50,000 for wellness and
education programs has been included in the budget in an effort to mitigate future claims. Fit Life testing
for police officers and health assessments for firefighters are included in this budget and will be
transferred as actual expenses are incurred.
Workers’ Compensation Fund
The Workers’ Compensation Fund provides coverage against losses sustained through on the job injuries
to employees. Revenues anticipated in the Workers’ Compensation Fund are $560,687; expenditures are
approved for $660,523.The ending fund balance is anticipated to be sufficient to meet workers’
compensation needs.
Unemployment Compensation Fund
Revenues in the Unemployment Compensation Fund are estimated to be $32,788. Claims costs in the
amount of $50,000 are budgeted in FY15. The ending fund balance is anticipated to be sufficient to meet
unemployment compensation needs.
Equipment Replacement Fund
This fund is used to accumulate resources for the replacement of vehicles and large motorized
equipment, the replacement of copiers, and to provide replacement assets for the existing major
technological infrastructure. Estimated revenues for FY15 total $5,147,264.
In FY15, $711,532 is approved for new fleet purchases as follows: Police Department for $132,000 for
three patrol vehicles, $44,224 for two Traffic Officer Motorcycles, and $22,250 for police radios; Public
Works $35,000 for the addition of a Landscape supervisor vehicle and $25,500 for a truck in the Traffic
Signals Division; Parks & Recreation $35,000 for a van for the approved new Irrigation Specialist.
Wastewater will purchase a $120,000 Dump Truck and Utility Customer Service will purchase a $22,750
new truck for a Meter Service Technician. Sanitation funding for $212,808 is approved to purchase a
Grapple Truck for brush collection. Drainage is approved to purchase a mini excavator for $41,000.
Also approved in the Water Fund is the addition of replacement funds that will be contributed to the
Equipment Replacement Fund on an annual basis so that a tractor that is currently in use can be
replaced when it reaches the end of its service life. The department is currently using a ‘surplus’ tractor
for easement mowing. It is anticipated that the tractor can provide several more years of service, but it is
not currently on the schedule for replacement.
Utility Customer Service Fund
The Utility Customer Service Division is the primary interface with the City’s utility customers.
Responsibilities include setting up customer accounts, connecting and disconnecting utility services,
reading meters, billing and collecting utility customer accounts and addressing customer concerns.
33
FY15 approved expenditures are $2,329,034.
Two SLAs are included in the approved
budget. The first SLA, in the amount $64,105,
is for the addition of one Full Time Meter
Services Representative and one vehicle.
This position will add additional capacity to
Meter Services to ensure the City’s growing
number of electric and water meters are read
accurately and in a timely manner. T he
second SLA will fund year 1 of 2 of the
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Process
Documentation, which will provide contract
services to assist with document new
processes as part of the system
implementation. This will be a one-time
expenditure of $25,000.
Fleet Maintenance Fund
The Public Works Fleet Services Division manages the vehicle and equipment fleet. The division also
performs preventive maintenance and vehicle repair. The City maintains a fleet of vehicles and heavy
equipment to provide services to the citizens of College Station. These services include Police and Fire
response, Solid Waste Collection, Public Utilities, Building Inspection, and Parks operations. In FY15,
estimated revenue in the Fleet Maintenance Fund is $2,054,820, which includes SLAs related to the
approved fleet additions. Approved budgeted expenditures for FY15 are at $1,946,624. This includes a
$38,655 SLA for the addition of one Fleet Service Runner/Porter to perform shop and office duties to
include transporting parts and vehicles as needed, shop and parts warehouse housekeeping, cleaning
vehicles and equipment, preparing retired units for auction, and preparing receiving fleet replacement for
service. A second SLA for $35,400 is included for tire mounting machines, balancers and accessories
that are needed to continue to perform maintenance and repairs on light and heavy vehicles and
equipment in a safe and timely manner.
Capital Projects Funds
The City has a number of capital project funds. General Obligation Bonds (GOB) form the basic resource
for general government projects such as streets, parks, traffic, public facilities and other such needs.
However, the City has several other resources that may be used to supplement those resources and help
to hold down the ad valorem taxes necessary to pay for GOBs.
In addition to the general government projects, the City has bond funds for each of the utilities operated
by the City. Also, for FY15, operating funds from the Electric, Water and Wastewater Funds in the amount
of $8,220,000 are estimated to be used to fund capital projects in lieu of the issuance of additional debt.
Other resources to fund capital projects include the Utility Funds, the Drainage Fund and Parkland
Dedication Funds. Each provides resources that will be used to complete a number of projects over the
next five years.
General Government Capital Projects
The following is a summary of some of the key general government projects included in the FY15
Approved Budget. More details of these projects can be found in the capital project summaries preceding
each capital projects section in the budget document. The funds expended on these projects are
considered significant and non-routine.
Streets, Traffic, Sidewalks and Trails Capital Projects
Street Rehabilitation Projects
In FY15, funds in the amount of $5,824,217 are estimated to be spent on Street Rehabilitation projects.
Included in this amount is the Cooner Street Rehabilitation project. This project includes the
rehabilitation of paving and water and wastewater lines along Cooner Street. The project will include new

asphalt pavement, curb, gutter and storm drainage. The majority of the funding for the $1,203,000 Streets
portion of the budget for this project will come from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
The balance of the budget will come from Barron Road Widening Phase II authorization. In addition,
$1,764,828 is estimated to be spent in FY15 for the Rehabilitation of Rock Prairie Road from
Stonebrook Drive to W.D. Fitch Parkway. This project is for the pavement rehabilitation of two sections
of Rock Prairie Road between Stonebrook Drive and William D. Fitch Parkway. The roadway will be
reconstructed with widened pavement and will include a shoulder adjacent to the travel lane. This project
will be funded primarily with COs issued in FY14.
Estimates have also been included for the design and construction of the Luther Street Rehabilitation
project and the design of the Munson Street Rehabilitation project. It is anticipated that funding for the
Luther and Munson Street Rehabilitation projects will come from several sources. A portion of the funding
will come from proceeds from a Fire Department ladder truck that was sold in FY12. A portion of the
funding for the replacement ladder truck came from the budget balances of street and transportation
projects. These projects had been funded with CO debt and it was legally permissible to use the balance
on the purchase of the ladder truck. As a portion of the funding for the replacement ladder truck originated
from the budget balances of street projects, the proceeds from the sale of the truck that was sold will now
be used to fund a portion of the cost of these two street rehabilitation projects. In addition, $1,000,000 of
the funds needed for the Munson and Luther Rehabilitation projects will come from the anticipated Health
Science Center Parkway budget balance. The bids for this project came in more favorable than expected
and a portion of the budget is available for use on the rehabilitation projects. The budget for the Health
Science Center Parkway originated from Barron Road Phase II authorization. It is anticipated that the
balance of the funds needed for the two rehabilitation projects will come from CO debt issued in FY14
and estimated to be issued in FY16.
In addition, estimates have been included in FY15 for the Graham Road Rehabilitation project. This
project is for the rehabilitation of Graham Road between Longmire and Dove Crossing due to sub-grade
issues that have caused roadway to significantly shift. A portion of the funding for this project was
transferred from the General Fund and the balance will be CO debt issue. Also included in the FY15
budget is an estimate for the design of the Francis Drive Rehabilitation project. This project is planned
for two phases – from Glenhaven to Munson and from Munson to Walton. It is anticipated that the project
will be designed in FY15 and constructed in FY16. A portion of the funding for this project was transferred
from the General Fund and the balance will be CO debt issue.
Street Extension Projects
The FY15 estimate for Street Extension projects is $3,617,114. Included in this is an estimate of
$100,000 for Oversize Participation (OP) projects that may arise throughout the fiscal year. These
funds are used for building increased capacity on the streets that are being constructed by developers.
These OP funds reflect assessments expected to be received as a result of the Holleman Extension
project. It is estimated that $500,000 in assessments will be received as the area adjacent to Holleman
Drive develops. As a significant portion of the Holleman Extension project budget was funded using OP
funds, the received assessments will be earmarked for future OP projects. These funds will not be
available for expenditure until they are received.
Also included in the FY15 estimate is $631,877 for the Extension of Eisenhower Street from Ash
Street to Lincoln Avenue. This project is for the construction of a two-lane major collector with center
turn lane from Ash Street to Lincoln Avenue on existing City-owned property. Funding for this project is
budgeted to come from General Funds that will be transferred into the Streets Capital Improvement
Projects Fund.
The FY15 estimate includes several projects on Rock Prairie Road. An estimate of $214,000 is included
for the continued land acquisition effort related to the Rock Prairie Road East Widening project. These
funds will be used for design and right-of-way acquisition costs related to the future widening of Rock
Prairie Road East. Construction funds are not included in the project budget. Also included is an estimate
of $2,054,754 for the construction of Widening of Rock Prairie Road West project. This project is for
the reconstruction of Rock Prairie Road from approximately State Highway 6 to Longmire. This project will
improve the capacity of this street segment and align additional travel lanes with the future reconfigured
Rock Prairie Road overpass. A portion of the budget for this project came from the balance of the Victoria
35
Avenue Extension project, a portion from the balance of the Tauber and Stasney Rehabilitation project
and it is anticipated that the remaining portion will come from COs issued in FY14. In addition, funds have
been estimated related to the Rock Prairie Road Bridge Widening project. The City of College Station
designed the bridge widening and TxDOT is constructing the project. The construction of the bridge is in
progress. The bridge will be widened to six lanes with U-Turn lanes constructed at the north and south
ends of the existing bridge. The bridge will include a 10 foot wide multi-use path and a 14 foot wide
outside travel lane. In addition, acceleration/deceleration lanes will be added along the frontage roads.
The design was paid for by the City of College Station using the remaining unallocated Barron Road
Widening Phase II authorization (2008 GOB). The construction will be paid for by TxDOT using
Proposition 12 funds received from the State that must be used on bridges and overpasses.
Lastly, $560,000 is projected in FY15 for design work on the Barron Road East/Lakeway Extension
project. This project will extend Barron Road from State Highway 6 East at the existing Barron Road to a
future intersection with the extension of Lakeway Drive. The Barron Road extension will be combined with
the Lakeway Drive extension.
Street TxDOT Projects
Funds have been included in the budget for the design of two projects that may be eligible in the future for
TxDOT funding. The first of these two projects is for the Design of U-Turns at State Highway 6 and FM
60. This project will provide design funds for the future construction of U-Turns at the interchange in order
to increase capacity and improve mobility. The design of this project is estimated to be $600,000. A
portion of the budget ($250,000) for this project came from the unrestricted funds that were transferred in
FY13 from the Wolf Pen Creek TIF Fund to the Streets Capital Improvement Projects Fund for use on
capital projects. An additional $50,000 came from the balance of the Bird Pond Rehabilitation project and
$300,000 of the budget is anticipated to come from CO debt issued in FY14. The second project is for the
Design of Raised Medians along University Drive. This project is for the construction of raised
medians and the installation of other pedestrian improvements from Eisenhower to Tarrow. The design of
this project is estimated to be $240,000, with a FY15 estimate of $139,509. Funding for a portion of the
budget for this project came from the balance of the Discovery Drive Extension project and a portion
came from the remaining unallocated Barron Road Widening Phase II authorization. Also included in the
FY15 estimate is $123,953 for the College Main Plaza Improvements project. This phase of the project
is for improvements that are needed to the bollard system.
Traffic Projects
The FY15 Approved Budget includes an estimated $2,093,114 for traffic projects throughout the City. This
includes $269,000 for the upgrade of the signal at 2818/Southwood. This project is for the replacement
of the traffic signals at the FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell Parkway) and Southwood Drive intersection and
includes pedestrian facility upgrades. Also included in the estimated expenditures for traffic projects is
$400,660 for future signal projects that may be needed as determined by the results of a traffic warrant
study that was completed in FY14.
The most significant traffic project to be included in the FY15 Approved Budget is the Intelligent
Transportation System (ITS) Master Plan. In 2013, a ITS Master Plan was developed in order to
provide an evaluation status of the Traffic Division and identify any deficiencies in technology such as
signal controllers and central system software that are at the end of their useful lives. The estimate of
$1,423,454 that is included in FY15 is for the first phase of a five-year ITS implementation plan. It is
anticipated that CO debt will be issued for the capital costs of this project that are included in the CIP.
Sidewalk and Trail Projects
The City of College Station has worked over the years to ensure adequate transportation infrastructure is
constructed for pedestrians and bicyclists. The City has an adopted Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways
Master Plan. In FY15, $2,934,847 is estimated to be spent on the construction of the Lick Creek Hike
and Bike Trail. This project is for the construction of sidewalk improvements and a hike and bike trail
along Lick Creek between Creek View Park on Eagle Avenue and Lick Creek Park. The trail and
improved sidewalks will connect residential neighborhoods and CSISD property. In addition, $810,000 is
estimated to be spent toward the design and construction of Phase II of the University Drive
Pedestrian Improvements project. This project consists of implementing the remaining phases (2
36
through 5) of the Pedestrian Improvements on University Drive. The project is designed to improve
pedestrian safety in the Northgate area of College Station while preserving vehicular mobility. The
improvements included in the project will ultimately extend from College Main to South College Avenue.
The first phase of the project will extend from College Main to Nagle Street.
Sidewalk Improvement projects estimated for FY15 include the construction of Sidewalks on Guadalupe
Drive. This project is for the design and construction of a sidewalk on one side of Guadalupe Drive from
Langford Street to Nueces Drive. The project was identified in the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways
Master Plan and is also an ADA request. Also included is an estimate of $275,906 for the construction of
Sidewalk Improvements on Langford Street. This project is for the reconstruction of an existing
sidewalk on one side of Langford Street from Haines Drive to Guadalupe Drive. This project was also an
ADA request.
In addition, a number of sidewalk projects will be completed using Community Development Block Grant
Funds (CDBG). These projects are described in more detail in the CDBG section of this budget
document.
Parks and Recreation Capital Projects
In FY15, expenditures in the amount of $5,417,793 are estimated for Parks and Recreation capital
improvement projects. Included is $105,600 for Field Redevelopment projects. A portion of the funds
will be used for replacement and repairs to numerous athletic facilities and parks throughout the City. The
funds for these projects are collected from the fees paid by players and teams from both City leagues and
outside user groups. The funds are used to pay for replacement items and facility upgrades at City
athletic facilities.
An estimated expenditure in the amount of $300,000 is included for the purchase of park land throughout
the City as part of the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund project. These funds are used for acquiring
properties for neighborhood parks in Park Land Zones that do not have sufficient funds to use to
purchase the land in advance of development. As the development occurs and funds get contributed, the
Park Land Zones will reimburse the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund so more park land can be
purchased. By purchasing land ahead of development, the City is able to acquire land that is more
suitable for neighborhood parks and at a lower cost than may be available after development occurs. In
FY09 and FY11, funds from the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund project were used to purchase park
land in Northgate, which is in Park Land Zone 1. At that time, Park Land Zone 1 did not have sufficient
funds to purchase the land. As recent development has occurred in Northgate, contributions have been
received in Park Land Zone 1 for the purchase of neighborhood park land. As the purchase of the Park
Land has already occurred with funds from the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund, $300,000 will be
transferred into the Parks Capital Improvement Projects Fund from Park Land Zone 1 to reimburse the
Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund for funds that were expended previously on the park land in
Northgate. The Parks and Recreation staff is currently exploring options for the next Neighborhood Park
Revolving Funds park land purchase.
In addition, $3,811,999 has been included for the construction of the Lincoln Center Addition. This
project is for the expansion of the Lincoln Center building to include additional space for programming
and storage. Funds in the amount of $1,063,000 are included to be used toward the construction of the
Lick Creek Nature Center. This center, to be built at Lick Creek Park, will serve as an informational
education center for visitors who want to learn more about the park. Lastly, $121,000 has been included
for the installation of pre-fabricated Restrooms and for remaining items to be completed at the site at
the Wolf Pen Creek Festival Site. The restrooms will serve the festival site.
General Government and Capital Equipment Capital Projects
General government and capital equipment projects are planned assets that have value to more than one
specific area of City operations. The two main divisions within this category are public facilities and
technology projects. In public facilities, $886,207 is the estimated FY15 expenditure for the design of the
Library Expansion project. The next phase of the project will be for consulting services that will better
define the project scope.
37
The FY15 Approved Budget also includes a projected expenditure of $4,186,000 for technology projects.
Included is $74,076 for the Fiber Optic Infrastructure project. This project will support the installation of
fiber optic cable to continue expansion of the City's network to new buildings and facilities, and to permit
the connection of existing facilities that are not currently on the network. An estimate of $1,106,570 has
been included in the budget for the needs analysis and implementation work related to the public safety
CAD/RMS (Computer Aided Dispatch/Records Management System) Replacement project. This
project is for the replacement of all software and hardware based systems managing the information
resources of the College Station Police Department. The acquisition of a newer and more enhanced
system will allow for a more efficient and productive department; as well as provide the opportunity to
accomplish more robust and advanced tasks. The total budget for this project is $2,250,000 and funding
for this project will come from several sources. These sources include debt in the amount of $430,766
that remains from what was issued previously for a New City Hall. The use of these funds is limited, but
they may be used toward this project. In addition, a portion of the balance of the Radio System
Replacement project and the balance of the E-Mail and File System Migration project will also be used to
fund the project. In addition, CO debt in the amount of $1,540,000 was issued FY14 for the remaining
needed budget.
Funds in the amount of $2,997,840 are estimated for the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System
Replacement project. This project is for the replacement of the City’s primary financial and management
software system. The project is anticipated to occur in several phases over the course of several years.
The total project estimate is $5,185,000. Funding for this project will come from a number of sources. CO
debt in the amount of $3,325,000 was issued in FY14 for the project and the balance will come from the
General Fund and from the enterprise funds that will be benefitting from the project.
Enterprise Capital Projects Funds
Below are descriptions of the utility capital projects included in the FY15 Approved Budget. The funds
expended on these projects are considered significant and non-routine.
Electric Capital Projects
The approved budget appropriation for electric capital projects is $7,135,418. Included is $50,000 for
General Plant projects. These include enhancements to the SCADA and the mapping system, as well
as general plant upgrades. Funds in the amount of $1,450,000 are estimated for Overhead System
Improvement projects. These funds will be used for the construction of overhead feeder extensions and
upgrades of existing overhead electric infrastructure. This includes the annual utility pole replacement
program. Funds in the amount of $1,530,000 are estimated for Underground System Improvement
projects. These funds will be used for the construction of new underground electric projects and for
conversion of overhead power lines to underground. Included in this estimate are various underground
feeders in the Northgate area. A total of $1,615,000 is included in the budget for New Service and
System Extension projects. These funds will be used to provide electrical system services for new
customer additions (residential, commercial, apartments and subdivisions). In addition, $95,000 is
included in the budget for Residential Street Lighting projects. These funds are used for new
residential street lighting projects and improvement to existing residential street lighting. Funds in the
amount of $450,000 are estimated for Thoroughfare Street Lighting projects. These funds will be used
for new thoroughfare street lighting projects and improvements to existing thoroughfare street lights. The
thoroughfare lighting project planned for FY15 is Harvey Mitchell Parkway from University Drive to the
north City limits. A budget of $1,520,000 is included for Distribution projects and $390,000 is included
for Transmission projects. Transmission/Distribution projects planned for FY15 include the purchase
and installation of a second transformer at the Dowling Road Substation; various SCADA enhancements;
rock and drainage control, as well as ground grid updates at the Greens Prairie Substation; and battery
replacement and breaker updates at the Southwood Valley Substation.
The FY15 Approved Budget includes an estimated $5,500,000 in current revenues that will be transferred
from operations to fund Electric capital projects. The amount of debt issued in FY14 is intended to cover
38
the needs in both FY14 and FY15. Therefore, it is not anticipated that debt will be issued in FY15 for
Electric capital projects.
Water Capital Projects
In FY15, $4,335,218 is the new appropriation included for water capital projects. The total expenditures in
FY15 for Water capital projects are projected to be $6,687,309. Appropriations from prior years carry
forward on capital projects and additional appropriations may be added each year as the projects
progress. The FY15 projected expenditures exceed the FY15 appropriations as the projected
expenditures include appropriations from prior years. Water Production projects include an estimated
FY15 expenditure of $3,656,540. A total of $170,000 is included for design work related to the
construction of Well #9 and $95,000 is included for the design work related to the construction of the Well
#9 Collection Line. As capacity needs grow, the City is preparing for the construction of new wells. It is
anticipated that the design of these wells will begin in FY15 with construction scheduled for FY16 and
FY17. An estimate of $32,000 is included in FY15 for the Well Field Fiber project. This project is to
connect Water Wells #1 and #2 to the existing fiber run to Well #7. An estimated $660,376 is included in

production infrastructure and to be in compliance with current fire codes. As part of the project, the
existing chlorine disinfection system will be replaced to improve personnel safety, operating reliability and
cost efficiency. $1,602,664 is the FY15 estimate included in the budget for the Cooling Tower
Expansion project. This project is for the design and construction of an additional water cooling tower
and all of the associated appurtenances to connect this new equipment into the existing system. The
additional tower is needed to meet the increased production capacity of the water system. An estimate of
$1,096,500 is included for the Variable Frequency Drive Replacement project. Various critical pieces
of equipment such as water transfer pumps, water high service pumps, cooling fans and some raw
sewage lift pumps are powered by variable frequency drives. This project will replace the Variable
Frequency Drives that have exceeded their service lives with newer, currently supported drives .
Funds in the amount of $1,876,547 are projected to be expended on Water Distribution projects in FY15.
This includes $100,000 of general Oversize Participation (OP) funds. These funds are used to help
meet future capacity needs by oversizing water lines above the minimum size required to serve a
development. An estimate of $227,700 has been included for the State Highway 40 – Graham to
Barron project and $21,619 has been included for the State Highway 40 – Sonoma Subdivision to
Victoria project. These projects will extend a water distribution line that will complete a section of an
existing 24 inch water distribution line. These connections will assist in proper operation of the distribution
system by increasing connectivity between Dowling Road Pump Station and the Greens Prairie Elevated
Storage Tank. Design and land acquisition for the projects are scheduled for FY15 and FY16 and
construction is estimated for FY17. In addition, $1,017,620 has been included for the Area 2 Water Line
Extension project. This project is for land acquisition, design and construction of water distribution lines
along Greens Prairie Road and Arrington Road in accordance with a Certificate of Convenience and

District. An estimate of $334,608 is included as the FY15 estimated expenditure for the Reinstallation of
a 30 Inch Water Transmission Line at Villa Maria and FM 2818. The existing water transmission line
from Sandy Point Pump Station to Dowling Road Pump Station was in conflict with TxDOT’s grade
separation of Villa Maria and FM 2818. TxDOT agreed to install an encasement pipe during construction
of their project that would be located in a non-conflicting location. This project is for the installation of
approximately 1,500 ft of the 30 inch water line that was in conflict with the grade separation.
Expenditures in the amount of $50,000 are projected in the FY15 budget for the Southland Waterline
project. This project will be completed in conjunction with the Southland Drainage project which is for the
design of flood mitigation measures along Bee Creek Tributary B. As part of the project, a waterline will
be extended from the boundary of the Copper Creek development and connected to the existing 6"
waterline in the Parkway Circle Apartments complex. Lastly, $125,000 is estimated for Miscellaneous
Water Rehabilitation projects that may arise throughout the fiscal year.
Rehabilitation projects included in the FY15 Approved Budget include $173,270 for design work on the
Eastgate Rehabilitation project. Construction is estimated for FY16 and FY17. This project will involve
the replacement of water and sewer lines in the area bounded by Lincoln Avenue to the north, Walton
39
Drive to the east, Francis Drive to the south, and Texas Avenue to the west. The water distribution lines
are in need of replacement due to an increase in service disruptions caused by deteriorating materials
and inadequate fire protection. The project also includes some street repair of existing aging streets in the
respective project area. Several other utility rehabilitation projects are also included in the FY15 estimated
expenditures. These include the Luther Street, Nimitz Street and Eisenhower Rehabilitation projects;
and design of the Munson Street Rehabilitation project and Francis Drive Rehabilitation project.
Also estimated for FY15 is the Cooner Street Rehabilitation project. The Cooner Street Rehabilitation
project includes the rehabilitation of water and wastewater lines and paving along Cooner Street from
Texas Avenue to the street terminus. The water distribution lines are in need of replacement due to an
increase in service disruptions caused by deteriorating lines. Funding for the majority of the cost of the
project design came from Community Development Block Grant funds. Construction of the water portion
of the project will be paid for with water utility revenue. The utility line rehabilitation on these projects is
being completed in coordination with the corresponding street rehabilitation projects.
Contingency in the amount of $100,000 has been included in the FY15 Approved Budget. These funds
will be available for use on unanticipated projects as well as to offset project overruns. $150,000 has
been included for the meter replacement program that was implemented in FY08. This program is for the
replacement of water meters on a routine basis to ensure efficient water readings. The FY15 budget
includes an estimated $1,095,000 in current revenues that will be transferred from operations to fund
Water capital projects. The amount of debt issued in FY14 is intended to cover the needs in both FY14
and FY15. Therefore, it is not anticipated that debt will be issued in FY15 for water capital projects.
Wastewater Capital Projects
In FY15, $8,386,598 is the new appropriation included for wastewater capital projects. The total
expenditures in FY15 for Wastewater capital projects are projected to be $11,045,259. Appropriations
from prior years carry forward on capital projects and additional appropriations may be added each year
as the projects progress. The FY15 projected expenditures exceed the FY15 appropriations as the
projected expenditures include appropriations from prior years. Wastewater Collection projects include
$228,260 for Oversize Participation (OP). These funds are available to meet future anticipated capacity
in the construction of wastewater lines above the minimum size needed to serve the development. The
FY15 estimate includes $100,000 for OP projects that are not yet identified and an additional $128,620
for the Creek Meadows OP project that was added to the CIP in FY14. An estimate of $1,399,000 is
included for the East Side FM 158 Sewer Line project. As part of the Sanitary Sewer CCN swap with the
City of Bryan associated with the Bio-Corridor Infrastructure Project and ILA, the East Side FM 158 Sewer
Line project will provide sewer service to the service area within the City of Bryan Corporate Limits
acquired as College Station Sewer Service area. The total cost of this project is estimated to be
$1,632,000 and the City of College Station will be reimbursed by the City of Bryan for half of the cost of
design and construction. This project is for the construction of gravity sewer, a lift station and force main
to serve properties along State Highway 30 southeast of the intersection with FM 158 within the City of
Bryan's corporate limits and upgrade the gravity sewer that currently services property along State
Highway 30 within the City of College Station in order to convey flows from the City of Bryan to the
Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (CCWWTP). Design of the line began in FY12 with
construction expected for FY15.
In addition, an estimate of $4,295,000 is included in FY15 for the Bee Creek Parallel Trunkline project.
The existing Bee Creek Trunkline sub-basin currently serves areas along FM 2818, from areas north of
Wellborn Road to the Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. This project will install a gravity line to
increase the system capacity of the Bee Creek Trunkline sub-basin to accept the ultimate build-out
demand anticipated in this respective area. This project is being completed in phases, with the final phase
expected to be completed in FY17. Phase 1 construction is complete and land acquisition is currently in
progress for phase II. Construction on phase II is expected to begin in FY15. Also included is $192,637

project is for the installation of new coatings and some minor structural repairs to plant clarifiers. These
repairs are necessary to ensure that the full service life of the equipment is realized and full regulatory
compliance is maintained. An estimate of $25,000 is included for the Variable Frequency Drive
Replacement project. Various critical pieces of equipment such as water transfer pumps, water high
service pumps, cooling fans and some raw sewage lift pumps are powered by variable frequency drives.
This project will replace the Variable Frequency Drives that have exceeded their service lives with newer,
currently supported drives. The design work for the wastewater components of the project will take place
in FY15 with installation in FY16.
Other Treatment and Disposal projects include an estimate of $755,000 for the Lick Creek Generator
Replacement. This project is for the replacement and upgrade of the existing Lick Creek Wastewater
Treatment Plant emergency power generator, which is nearing the end of its service life. The ne w
generator will provide additional power so that more of the routine Plant processes can be completed
while under generator power. The larger generator capacity will also provide operational redundancy and
accommodate planned Plant Expansion. Also estimated in FY15 is $105,000 for the Carters Creek
Headworks Catwalk project. This project is for the installation of a new catwalk along the South side of
the Headworks structure. This will facilitate easier and safer cleaning of the number two grit channel of

Miscellaneous Wastewater Rehabilitation projects that may arise throughout the fiscal year.
41
Contingency in the amount of $150,000 has been included in the FY15 Approved Budget. These funds
will be available for use on unanticipated projects as well as to offset project overruns. The FY15 budget
includes an estimated $1,625,000 in current revenues that will be transferred from operations to fund
Wastewater capital projects. The amount of debt issued in FY14 is intended to cover the needs in both
FY14 and FY15. Therefore, it is not anticipated that debt will be issued in FY15 for water capital projects.
Unfunded Water and Wastewater Projects
Each year, as part of the budget process, projects are submitted for consideration of inclusion in the
upcoming CIP. A number of projects were considered for the Water and Wastewater CIP, but were not
added because the variables surrounding when and how they will proceed are still undetermined.
However, there are potential projects that could significantly alter future CIPs. Several projects in the
Medical District and the Northgate area have been identified that may be needed depending upon
how/when those areas develops. This is currently being evaluated and may result in future significant CIP
projects. In addition, future Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requirements resulting
from the Clean Water Act may result in significant nutrient removal projects at the LCWWTP and
CCWWTP. The need for these projects is under review and will be determined in the future.
Special Revenue Capital Projects
Below are descriptions of the special revenue capital projects included in the FY15 Approved Budget. The
funds expended on these projects are considered significant and non-routine.
Park Land Dedication Capital Improvement Projects
The Park Land Dedication Funds account for the receipt and expenditure of funds received by the City
from residential land developers who dedicate land, or money in lieu of land, for use in the development
of neighborhood parks in residential areas. The projects in the Park Land Dedication Capital Improvement
Projects Funds are funded using the dedicated park land funds. Park Land dedication funds must be used
for the development of parks within the zone to which the funds are dedicated. In FY15, estimates are
included for Park Land Dedication projects that are anticipated to be completed in the various park zones.
In Park Land Zone 1, funds in the amount of $300,000 are budgeted to be transferred to the
Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund project within the Parks Capital Improvement Projects Fund. Funds
in the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund project are used for acquiring properties for neighborhood
parks in advance of development in park land zones that do not have sufficient funds to use to purchase
the land. As the development occurs and funds get contributed to a particular Park Land Zone, the Park
Land Zone will reimburse the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund so more park land can be purchased.
By purchasing land ahead of development, the City is able to acquire land that is more suitable for
neighborhood parks and at a lower cost than may be available after development occurs. In FY09 and
FY11, funds from the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund project were used to purchase park land
Northgate, which is in Park Land Zone 1. At that time, Park Land Zone 1 did not have sufficient funds to
purchase the land. As the recent development has occurred in Northgate, contributions have been
received in Park Land Zone 1 for the purchase of neighborhood park land. As the purchase of the Park
Land has already occurred with funds from the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund, it is projected that
$300,000 be transferred from Park Land Zone 1 to reimburse the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund for
funds that were expended previously on the park land in Northgate. An additional $400,000 was
transferred in FY14 as a portion of the reimbursement.
Other projects for which FY15 Park Land Dedication estimates are projected include $27,000 in Park
Land Zone 2 for the replacement of playground equipment and surfacing at University Park;
$27,000 in Park Land Zone 10 for the replacement of playground equipment and surfacing at
Castlerock Park; and $27,000 in Park Land Zone 13 for the replacement of playground equipment
and surfacing at Castlegate Park. These projects were submitted as Service Level Adjustments (SLAs)
in FY15 and are being included in the CIP to be funded out of the appropriate Park Land Zones. A
transfer from the General Fund in the amount of $12,000 is included for the project at University Park as
there are not sufficient funds in the zone to cover the total estimated project cost.
In addition, an estimate of $450,000 has been included in Community Park Land Zone C for the initial
phase of the All Inclusive Park. This project is a joint effort between the City of College Station, the
42
College Station Rotary Club, and the College Station Noon Lions Club. The park is designed for full
inclusion of special needs children.
Additional funds are budgeted in a number of Park Land zones but these funds have not yet been
obligated to specific projects. These funds are available to be used for projects that arise throughout the
year within the applicable zones. Funds not used in the fiscal year will carry over to future fiscal years.
Drainage Capital Improvement Projects
Drainage capital projects are funded by revenue generated through a drainage utility fee that is collected
from residential and commercial utility users. Significant projects include a projected FY15 estimate of
$589,627 for Greenways Land Acquisition throughout the City. The City’s Greenways Master Plan calls
for future trail development in urban and suburban greenways. The funds for this project were from prior
years’ debt issue and the FY15 projected expenditures account for the use of the balance of this debt. An
estimate of $200,000 is included in FY15 for Minor Drainage Improvement projects. These funds are
used for minor unscheduled drainage projects that may arise throughout the fiscal year. An estimated
$69,815 is included in FY15 for Phase II of Erosion Control in the Wolf Pen Creek Trail Area. Bank
stabilization measures will be designed and constructed to protect the trails, irrigation, benches and other
improvements in the upper trails area from erosion. Expenditures in the amount of $90,218 are included
in the FY15 Approved Budget for the Southland Drainage Improvements project. This project is for the
design of flood mitigation measures along Bee Creek Tributary B. Reshaping of the existing channel will
prevent localized flooding that occurs at the east end of Southland Street. As part of the project, a
waterline will be extended from the boundary of the Copper Creek development and connected to the
existing 6" waterline in the Parkway Circle Apartments complex. In addition, an estimate of $73,627 is
included for the Drainage Master Plan project. It is anticipated that this project will be completed in the
near future. The results of the study will be an inventory of existing infrastructure and a twenty (20) year
maintenance and infrastructure improvement plan for those portions of the drainage basins that lie within
the city limits. The plan will form the foundation for future infrastructure projects.
Additional O&M Costs
The FY15 Approved Budget includes a number of capital projects that have been recently completed and
have added operations and maintenance (O&M) expense. In particular, the City’s General Fund has been
and will continue to be impacted by capital projects as they come online. In some situations, the O&M
cost of a project is minimal and can be absorbed by the City department that is benefiting the most from
the project. In other situations, the O&M cost is more significant and funding for these additional
expenses is addressed through the SLA process. In these situations, SLAs are submitted for the O&M
needs of the capital projects and funding is considered as part of the budget process.
Departments are expected to consider the impact of current and planned capital improvement projects on
operations and maintenance (O&M) budgets. This analysis is a component of the 5-year Strategic
Business Plans that are completed by all City departments. Projections as to the impact of capital projects
on O&M budgets that are included in the Strategic Business Plans are used by the Finance Office in
financial forecasting.

General Fund
The General Fund accounts for all activities typically considered governmental functions of the City. These
include Public Safety, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, as well as Planning and Development Services. Also
included are the primary support services for these areas such as Fiscal Services, Information Technology, and
administrative services in General Government.
The General Fund is budgeted using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual
basis of accounting. This is the same measurement focus and basis of accounting used for governmental fund
financial statement reporting. Revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available to finance
expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is incurred with the
exception of several items. The full listing of these exceptions can be found in the Financial Policies on page F-1.
The General Fund is influenced by current policies and approved policy changes. The policies include inter-fund
equity, maintaining a balance between revenues and expenditures, and maintaining the level of service currently
provided as the City experiences residential and commercial growth.
The FY14 revised General Fund revenue budget is $57,569,303 and the FY14 year-end estimate is projected to
be $58,554,131. The FY14 year-end estimate for General Fund revenue is anticipated to be approximately
$985,000 over the FY14 revised budget. A significant portion of this is due to the year-end estimate for sales tax.
The FY14 sales tax revenue realized has been considerably higher than budget. In addition, mixed drink and
franchise fees as well as license and permit revenues are projected to be higher than budgeted.
Total estimated FY15 General Fund revenues are $61,943,083. This represents a 5.79% increase over the FY14
year-end estimate. A portion of this increase is due to an approved increase of 2.6542 cents in the in the ad
valorem tax rate. The 2.6542 cent increase in the tax rate will fund service level increases in Public Safety (Police
and Fire), and Transportation and Mobility – Streets and the traffic signal system directly related to the continued
growth of the City.
In addition, sales tax is estimated to increase as a result of recent trending and a positive economy. Revenue
projections are based on historical trends and consider economic variables that affect the City’s revenue stream.
Appendix D provides historical data on all General Fund revenue categories. Major revenue estimates and
assumptions are explained below.
1. Property Taxes in FY15 are estimated to be $16,872,399. The anticipated revenues are based on the
approved operations and maintenance (O&M) tax rate of 25.9447 cents per $100 valuation. The FY15 O&M
portion of the tax rate reflects an increase of 2.6542 cents from the FY14 approved O&M portion of the tax
rate.
2. Sales Tax is estimated to be $25,300,000 in FY15; this projection reflects a 3.0% increase over the FY14
year-end estimate. The FY14 year-end estimate is projected to come in approximately $1.0 million higher
than budget. Sales tax revenue estimates are based on analysis of historical revenues and expected future
retail sales and employment. Sales tax is the largest revenue stream in the General Fund, and is estimated
to be approximately 40.84% of overall General Fund revenues.
3. Mixed Drink and Franchise Taxes are projected to be $2,758,475, which is 9.8% above the FY14 revised
budget. Franchise taxes include phone, cable, and natural gas.
4. Licenses and Permit Revenue in FY15 is anticipated to be higher than the FY14 budget, but slightly lower
than the FY14 year-end estimate. The number and value of permits issued in the Northgate District over the
past three years have been particularly high due to strong new development. The FY15 revenue is estimated
to be $1,112,452.
5. Intergovernmental Revenues for FY15 are anticipated to remain at the level budgeted in FY14. The FY14
year-end estimate includes grant funds received in FY14 - grant funds are not budgeted until they are
approved or received. Among the intergovernmental revenues the City anticipates receiving in FY15 are
reimbursements from TAMU and CSISD for traffic control, escorts and various other services provided by the
53
Police Department, and reimbursement from City of Bryan, TAMU, and Brazos County for a portion of the
Staff Assistant position for the Joint Emergency Operations Center.
6. Parks and Recreation estimated revenues are $129,039 in FY15. This includes revenue estimated for
tournament fees due to the anticipated increase in field availability as larger tournaments will be using the
new synthetic turf fields at Veteran’s Park. Most of the Parks and Recreation revenue is recorded in the
Recreation Fund.
7. Other Service Charges include miscellaneous charges and fees from various departments within the
General Fund, including Development Services, Police, Fire, and Municipal Court. The approved revenues
are projected to be $2,922,212 in FY15. The FY15 revenue budget includes an estimated increase in EMS
Emergicon transport revenue and an increase in charges for disposable supplies, oxygen, and the mileage
rates charged.
8. Fines, Forfeits, and Penalties are mostly ticket and court fines from Municipal Court. These fines are
generated primarily through traffic citations. Fines, forfeits, and penalties are estimated to be $2,993,516 in
FY15.
9. Investment Earnings are estimated at $63,240 in the FY15 Approved Budget. Investment earnings in FY14
were adjusted down from the FY13 actual revenue to reflect very low interest rates. FY15 earnings are
anticipated to remain relatively flat throughout FY15.
10. Miscellaneous Revenues include such items as rents and royalties, various donations, collection service
fees, sale of abandoned property, sale of fixed assets, etc. FY15 estimated revenue is $247,625.
11. Utility Transfers to the General Fund are approved to be $9,307,925 for FY15. These transfers reflect in-
lieu of franchise fees revenue for the General Fund since the City owns the utilities.
12. Approved Net Expenditures for FY15 are $66,363,364 or 6.2% higher than the FY14 revised budget. The
approved General Fund budget includes additional funds for public safety, street maintenance, and funds for
salary increases.
Several cash funded capital projects are included in the non-departmental portion of the General Fund budget.
These one-time expenditures are expected to be incurred in FY15. These include a transfer of $899,375 to the
Streets Capital Improvement Projects Fund for street and sidewalk capital projects; a transfer of $212,041 to the
General Government Projects Fund for the costs associated City’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System,
and a $12,000 transfer to the Park Land Dedication Zone 2 Fund for Playground Equipment and Resurfacing at
University Park.
Other non-departmental expenditures include general and administrative (G&A) transfers into the General Fund
from various operating funds to pay for the services provided such as Accounting, Budget, Purchasing, Human
Resources, Legal, etc. Interfund transfers (in and out), Public Agency Funding and Consulting services are also
included in this section. A full listing of the non-departmental expenditures can be found in Appendix I of this
document.
A number of Service Level Adjustments (SLAs) are included in the FY15 Approved Budget. The detailed SLAs by
department are included in each Department Summary and a full listing of these one-time and recurring SLAs can
be found in Appendix B of this document.
A total of 618.35 positions are included in the approved General Fund budget. This includes 609.60 full-time
employees (FTEs) in the General Fund. Some employees, both full-time and part-time, code a portion of their
time to other funds. The approved budget also includes 8.75 temporary/seasonal and part-time non-benefitted
FTEs. Requests for increases in personnel were submitted as SLAs as part of the budget process. A full listing of
personnel can be found in Appendix C.
There is a projected 30.5% decrease in the FY15 ending fund balance when compared to the FY14 year-end
ending fund balance. This is due, in part, to a number of one-time expenditures that are budgeted in FY15.

66
FIRE DEPARTMENT STRATEGIC PLAN
d. Issue: Maintain an up to date fleet of apparatus and equipment to provide critical
emergency services to the community.
i. Plan of Action: We will work with Fleet Services, CMO and City Council to
keep the needed number of fire and EMS vehicles and reserve units in top
condition.
ii. Update Life packs and purchase new air pack bottles as they reach use limits.
iii. We will continue to add new apparatus as needed as the community continues
to grow.
e. Issue: Succession planning for the future.
i. Plan of Action: We will continue to work with up and coming staff members
to insure a great depth chart to fill positions in the future as members retire to
reduce the amount of institutional knowledge loss.
f. Issue: The administrative office of the Fire Department is staffed very thin and will
need to grow to provide the necessary field support to keep up with the rapid
growth.
i. Plan of Action: The first addition to the administrative staff will need to be a
Battalion Chief for EMS and Training.
g. Issue: Mobile Data Terminals in the response units have a poor level of functional
time. The units loose connectivity on a regular basis while units are
responding. The MDTs are critical to efficiency and safety of the responding
crews taking away mapping capabilities and call and caution notes.
i. Plan of Action: Continue working with the Information and Technology
Department to improve or replace the system completely.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT STRATEGIC PLAN
I. Mission Statement
Provide leadership, process governance, architecture resources and expertise in developing,
deploying and maintaining modern information technologies to improve government efficiency
and effectiveness.
II. Top Departmental Goals
1. Goal: Progress toward implementation of major enterprise systems, specifically the
Enterprise Resource Planning System Replacement and the CAD/RMS system replacement
a. Strategic Initiative: Financially Sustainable City
b. Strategic Initiative: Core Infrastructure and Services
2. Goal: Completion of multi-year projects, specifically the Wireless Infrastructure Project and
the Network & Data Security Upgrade
a. Strategic Initiative: Core Infrastructure and Services
3. Goal: Provision of the infrastructure, policies, and procedures to support device agnostic
mobile communications capability for employees.
a. Strategic Initiative: Core Infrastructure and Services
b. Strategic Initiative: Neighborhood Integrity
4. Goal: Continue substantial progress toward implementing the Information
Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework
a. Strategic Initiative: Core Infrastructure and Services
III. Key Departmental Issues & Needs and Potential Responses
a. Issue: Mobile workers cannot efficiently access business applications on the city
network.
i. Plan of Action: A CIP request has been submitted for the FY 15 budget to fund
the infrastructure hardware and software that will permit city employees to
access the city network and applications from the field, regardless of the
mobile device they are using.
b. Issue: The handling and storage of backup tapes for the Commvault backup system
has been cumbersome and inefficient for the IT department.
i. Plan of Action: New storage has been purchased that will allow for reallocation
of current storage to be used for auxiliary data backup copies instead of
tapes. This will completely eliminate the need to handle tapes and allow for
quicker restores when needed. This action removes approximately one man-
hour per week and eliminates the cost of replacement tapes and the tape library
hardware.
c. Issue: CSDC, the current Court’s software vendor for JEMS, is rolling out their new
AMANDA courts software and have stated they intend to stop enhancements and
support to the JEMS in the future. In addition, with the move to ICE and the new
Police CAD/RMS system, there are some possible synergies to plan for the Courts
88
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT STRATEGIC PLAN
software replacement in conjunction with the implementation of these two projects.
There is currently a non-funded project, CIP CO1203, for this project.
i. Plan of Action: Start investigation into Amanda and other Courts solutions,
including visits to see different Courts products in production, if possible.
d. Issue: The City Website was last updated in 2009. Newer technologies and
functionality to provide better capability for staff and citizens exist.
i. Plan of Action: Submit “Website Upgrade/Replacement Project” to the FY 16
CIP list of proposed projects.
e. Issue: The City cannot easily manage or track IT security events or logs for compliance
and/or forensic reasons.
i. Plan of Action: Possible solutions will be tested and evaluated over the next
year and a CIP item will be put in for the FY 16 budget
f. Issue: The possibility of sensitive data loss exists on City laptops
i. Plan of Action: Test full disk encryption solutions that can integrate with
Active Directory integrations and offer a self-service password recovery
option. If no free or open source solutions can be found that are a good fit for
our environment, budget impact will evaluated and a solution proposed.
g. Issue: City staff needs a single "address layer" shared across all departments that
represents residents, customers, businesses, first responder incidents, service
endpoints, and development. This is in response to the City implementing an
Enterprise Resource Planning system and CAD/RMS replacement.
i. Plan of Action: IT GIS is leading the process of combining existing layers and
data from Planning, Police, Fire, and Utility Customer Service to create the
needed address layer. This process includes creating a workflow for adding in
new data points and working with the multiple ERP and CAD vendors to
ensure that the solution is compatible with all systems.
h. Issue: Hidden and buried fiber cable vaults inhibit the ability to effectively maintain,
repair and run new fiber.
i. Plan of Action: Identify hidden/buried cable vaults and raise to grade level.
Contractor assistance will be requested as needed. Funding in IT Operations
Budget is sufficient to support this effort.

remaining audits so that we can still complete all assigned audits and still at least
audit all of the major areas of risk.

i. Plan of Action: If audits take longer than expected and we fall behind schedule,
we will limit the scope on our remaining audits so that we can still complete all
assigned audits and still at least audit all of the major areas of risk.

i. Plan of Action: We plan to begin dividing our audits into multiple mini-audits.
For example, the recently completed library audit could have been divided into
three smaller audits rather than one massive audit. This will help focus audit work
and will hopefully improve timeliness without degrading quality.

Debt Service Fund
The City’s basic debt management policies are explained in the Financial Policy Statements included in Appendix
F in this document. The City continues to review its debt management policies and to address the particular
concerns and needs of the citizens. The City strives to only issue debt to meet capital needs. This fund is
prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenues are recognized when they
become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are recognized
when the related fund liability is incurred with the exception of several items. The full listing of these exceptions
can be found in the Financial Policies on page F-1.
State law in Texas sets the maximum ad valorem tax rate, including all obligations of the City, for a home rule city,
such as College Station, at $2.50 per $100 valuation. The approved FY15 tax rate to finance general
governmental services, including debt service, is 45.2500 cents per $100 of valuation. The approved FY15 debt
service portion of the tax rate is 19.3053 cents per $100 of valuation. This FY15 debt service portion of the tax
rate is the same as the FY14 debt service portion of the tax rate. Current policy is to maintain at least 8.33% of
annual appropriated expenditures as the Debt Service Fund balance at fiscal year-end. The fund is in compliance
with that policy. The most recent debt issued by the City of College Station has earned ratings* from Moody’s and
Standard & Poor’s as shown below:
Bond Type Standard & Poor's Moody's
General Obligation AA+Aa2
Utility Revenue A+Aa2
Certificates of Obligation AA+Aa2
Revenues in the Debt Service Fund are projected to increase in FY15 by 5.18% from the FY14 revised budget. A
portion of this is due to the transfer in of funds from the Memorial Cemetery Fund to cover a portion of the debt
service payment related to the construction of the Memorial Cemetery. The FY15 total debt service payment for
the Memorial Cemetery is $788,384. In FY15, one-third of this debt service, $262,795, will come from the
Memorial Cemetery Fund and two-thirds of the payment will come from the Debt Service Fund. FY14 was the first
year that a portion of the Memorial Cemetery debt service payment was covered by the Memorial Cemetery Fund.
The portion of the debt service to be covered by the Memorial Cemetery Fund is forecasted to increase in future
years, but the Memorial Cemetery Fund will continue to be monitored in future years to ensure that this can be
supported.
For FY15, the ad valorem tax collections are projected to increase by 4.72%. Total revenues projected to pay on
the City’s existing debt in FY15 are estimated to be $12,898,180. Total expenditures out of the Debt Service Fund
are estimated to be $13,252,308. Of that total, budget for the General Obligation (GO) and Certificates of
Obligation (CO) debt service expenditure is $13,202,308.
In November of 2008, voters approved $76,950,000 in GOB authorization for streets, traffic, a new fire station, the
Library expansion project, and parks and recreation projects including an addition at the Lincoln Center and the
Lick Creek Park Nature Center. In FY14, $13,690,000 in General Obligation debt was issued and $12,045,000 in
CO debt for General Government Capital projects was issued. The amount of debt issued in FY14 is intended to
cover the needs in both FY14 and FY15. Therefore, it is not anticipated that debt will be issued in FY15 for capital
projects.
Each year, an analysis is done to determine what resources are needed and if refunding and call options are available
and in the best interest of the City. It is not known at this time whether refunding will be done in FY15. The following
section contains a schedule of requirements and a summary of requirements for all GOBs and COs. The detailed
information for each individual GOB and CO is found in Appendix H. The schedule of requirements and the individual
detailed information for all Utility Revenue Bonds are also found in Appendix H.
There is a projected 11% decrease in the FY15 ending fund balance when compared to the FY14 year-end ending
fund balance. This is due to an increase in the anticipated debt service payments in FY15.
* The ratings are standard ratings of Moody’s and S&P. The highest rating available on S&P is AAA and the lowest “investment grade”
debt issue is BBB. In contrast, Moody’s highest rating is Aaa and the lowest “investment grade" is Bbb.

1. This portion of the General Obligation Bond (GOB) debt will be paid out of the debt service fund.
2. The bonds for the projects in these funds were originally issued as Certificates of Obligation (CO's). When the CO's were refunded,
all refunded bonds were reissued as GO bonds as a cost saving measure. To have reissued as both GO bonds and CO bonds would have resulted in increased
debt issuance costs. The Utility portion of the GO debt will be paid directly out of the Utility fund with which the debt is associated.
3. This portion of the GO debt will be paid out of the debt service fund, but one-third of the funds for the debt service payment will be transferred into the
Debt Service Fund from Memorial Cemetery Fund.

Economic Development Fund
The Economic Development Fund is utilized to account for funds that are to be used for business attraction and
retention.
This fund is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Using this method, revenues are recognized
when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are
recognized when the related fund liability is incurred with the exception of several items. The full listing of these
exceptions can be found in the Financial Policies in Appendix F-1.
Revenue for the Economic Development Fund is collected from the General Fund. The approved funding level for
FY15 is $375,000. Investment earnings of $1,000 are also included.
The Economic Development Fund expenditure budget is comprised of “Cash Assistance” payments to various
business prospects. This assistance is aimed at providing prospective businesses with start-up resources and
provides existing businesses the opportunity to expand operations. A total of $429,254 is projected in the FY15
Approved Budget for cash assistance.
Sahara Realty Group (University Town Center) will be eligible for an incentive payment of $374,254 in FY15 upon
completion of all phases of the buildings.
Reynolds & Reynolds will be eligible for an incentive payment of $55,000 each year through FY17. To receive
payment, they must maintain a property valuation of $24,000,000 per year and annual payroll of at least
$18,000,000 per year. The FY15 budget includes $55,000 for this payment.
If uncommitted at year-end, these funds will contribute to the fund balance carried over from year to year. This
flexibility allows the City to recruit new and existing business, and ensures that College Station has a diverse and
vibrant economy. Total approved expenditures for FY15 are $514,254.
There is a projected 42.17% decrease in the FY15 fund balance when compared to the FY14 year-end estimated
fund balance due to the proceeds from the sale of First Street Property that were received in FY14. On January
13, 2014, the proceeds from the sale of the First Street property were received from Asset Plus. The Economic
Development Fund proceeds from the sale were $322,208.

In FY09, Hotel Tax Funds were used toward the purchase of the Chimney Hill property for the purpose of building a
convention center. In FY11, Council determined that it no longer intends to construct a convention center on the
purchased property and the property was put up for sale. Council approved the purchase & sale agreement of the
Chimney Hill property between the City, Research Valley Partnership, and PM Realty Group on December 12, 2013 for
the purchase price of $7.5 million.
In FY15, the property has been sold and the proceeds from the sale of the property, as well of the balance of the Chimney
Hill Fund, will be transferred to the Hotel Tax Fund. A total of $9,327,416 is included in the approved budget for this
transfer.

Governmental
Capital Improvement Project Budgets
On an annual basis, the City of College Station prepares a five-year Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The
CIP is presented for City Council review as part of the annual budget process. The program consolidates all
anticipated capital needs for which funding authorization exists. The program is divided into several sections
depending on the services provided and the funding source.
Two categories of capital expenditures are defined by the City. The first category of capital expenditure is for
major capital projects. Major capital projects are projects that cost more than $50,000 and provide a fixed asset or
equipment that has a useful life of three years or more. The second category of capital expenditure is for minor
capital projects. Minor capital projects are projects that cost more than $5,000 and less than $50,000 and provide
a fixed asset or equipment that has a useful life of three years or more.
The City only has legal authority to issue General Obligation (GO) debt after a successful citizen referendum. GO
debt is debt that obligates the City to repay the issue with ad valorem tax revenues. The City uses GO debt for the
acquisition and development of parks and recreation facilities; rights-of-way acquisition; construction and
reconstruction of streets; and for public buildings such as City offices, libraries, fire stations and other general use
facilities.
The most recent General Obligation bond election was held in November of 2008. Voters approved $76,950,000
in General Obligation Bond (GOB) authorization to be issued over 7 years for streets, traffic, and fire station
projects, the Library expansion project, and parks projects including an addition at the Lincoln Center and the Lick
Creek Park Nature Center.
In FY14, the City issued $13,690,000 in GOB debt for various General Government capital projects. Mobility
projects for which GOB debt was issued included $3,760,000 for the Lick Creek Hike and Bike Trail project,
$2,750,000 for phase II of the University Drive Pedestrian Improvements project and $1,100,000 for traffic signal
projects. GOB debt was also issued in FY14 for Parks and Recreation projects. These included $220,000 for the
Neighborhood Park Revolving Fund, $2,045,000 for the Lick Creek Nature Center, and $3,315,000 for the Lincoln
Center Addition. In addition, $500,000 was issued for the design of the Larry J. Ringer Library expansion project.
The City has statutory authority, and City Council policy allows for the use of non-voter authorized debt
instruments such as Certificates of Obligation and Contract Obligations (generally referred to as COs). City
Council policy allows the City to use such instruments for capital items such as the following:
The purchase and replacement of major computer systems and other technology-based items that have
useful lives of not more than ten years.
The purchase and replacement of major equipment items such as fire-fighting equipment. The City has,
however, developed policies and procedures to provide almost all of this equipment without issuing debt.
The purchase of land and development of land for economic development uses.
Over the past 7 years, at the recommendation of the City’s financial advisors, the City has issued COs in
lieu of Utility Revenue Bonds (URB’s), for the Electric, Water and Wastewater utilities.
In FY14, the City issued $12,045,000 in CO debt for General Government projects. This included $2,050,000 that
was issued for the Rock Prairie Road East Rehabilitation from Stonebrook to W.D. Fitch; $1,980,000 was issued
for the Rock Prairie Road Widening West project; $2,000,000 was issued for the Luther Street Rehabilitation
project; $410,000 for the Graham Road Rehabilitation project; $200,000 for the design phase of the Francis Drive
Rehabilitation project; and $300,000 for the design of U-Turns at University Drive and State Highway 6.
The City also issued CO debt in FY14 for several technology projects. This included $3,325,000 for the Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) system replacement, $240,000 for the Electronic Storage System, and $1,540,000 for
the Computer Aided Dispatch/Records Management System (CAD/RMS) Replacement.
118
An additional $26,650,000 in CO debt was issued in FY14 for Utility projects. Prior to FY08, URB debt had been
used for the Utility projects. However, based on the recommendations from the City’s financial advisors, CO debt
has been issued for utility projects from FY08 forward . In FY14, $8,750,000 was issued for Electric projects,
$6,500,000 was issued for Water projects and $11,400,000 was issued for Wastewater projects.
It is anticipated that the amount of debt issued in FY14 will cover the needs in both FY14 and FY15. Therefore, it
is not anticipated that debt will be issued in FY15 for capital projects.
GOVERNMENTAL CAPITAL PROJECTS
Below are descriptions of the governmental capital projects included in the FY15 Approved Budget. The funds
expended on these projects are considered significant and non-routine.
STREETS, TRAFFIC, SIDEWALKS AND TRAIL CAPITAL PROJECTS
Street Rehabilitation Projects
In FY15, funds in the amount of $5,824,217 are estimated to be spent on Street Rehabilitation projects. Included
in this amount is the Cooner Street Rehabilitation project. This project includes the rehabilitation of paving and
water and wastewater lines along Cooner Street. The project will include new asphalt pavement, curb, gutter and
storm drainage. The majority of the funding for the $1,203,000 Streets portion of the budget for this project will
come from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The balance of the budget will come from
Barron Road Widening Phase II authorization. In addition, $1,764,828 is estimated to be spent in FY15 for the
Rehabilitation of Rock Prairie Road from Stonebrook Drive to W.D. Fitch Parkway. This project is for the
pavement rehabilitation of two sections of Rock Prairie Road between Stonebrook Drive and William D. Fitch
Parkway. The roadway will be reconstructed with widened pavement and will include a shoulder adjacent to the
travel lane. This project will be funded primarily with COs issued in FY14.
Estimates have also been included for the design and construction of the Luther Street Rehabilitation project
and the design of the Munson Street Rehabilitation project. It is anticipated that funding for the Luther and
Munson Street Rehabilitation projects will come from several sources. A portion of the funding will come from
proceeds from a Fire Department ladder truck that was sold in FY12. A portion of the funding for the replacement
ladder truck came from the budget balances of street and transportation projects. These projects had been
funded with CO debt and it was legally permissible to use the balance on the purchase of the ladder truck. As a
portion of the funding for the replacement ladder truck originated from the budget balances of street projects, the
proceeds from the sale of the truck that was sold will now be used to fund a portion of the cost of these two street
rehabilitation projects. In addition, $1,000,000 of the funds needed for the Munson and Luther Rehabilitation
projects will come from the anticipated Health Science Center Parkway budget balance. The bids for this project
came in more favorable than expected and a portion of the budget is available for use on the rehabilitation
projects. The budget for the Health Science Center Parkway originated from Barron Road Phase II authorization.
It is anticipated that the balance of the funds needed for the two rehabilitation projects will come from CO debt
issued in FY14 and estimated to be issued in FY16.
In addition, estimates have been included in FY15 for the Graham Road Rehabilitation project. This project is
for the rehabilitation of Graham Road between Longmire and Dove Crossing due to sub-grade issues that have
caused roadway to significantly shift. A portion of the funding for this project was transferred from the General
Fund and the balance will be CO debt issue. Also included in the FY15 budget is an estimate for the design of the
Francis Drive Rehabilitation project. This project is planned for two phases – from Glenhaven to Munson and
from Munson to Walton. It is anticipated that the project will be designed in FY15 and constructed in FY16. A
portion of the funding for this project was transferred from the General Fund and the balance will be CO debt
issue.
Street Extension Projects
The FY15 estimate for Street Extension projects is $3,617,114. Included in this is an estimate of $100,000 for
Oversize Participation (OP) projects that may arise throughout the fiscal year. These funds are used for
building increased capacity on the streets that are being constructed by developers. These OP funds reflect
assessments expected to be received as a result of the Holleman Extension project. It is estimated that $500,000
in assessments will be received as the area adjacent to Holleman Drive develops. As a significant portion of the
Holleman Extension project budget was funded using OP funds, the received assessments will be earmarked for
future OP projects. These funds will not be available for expenditure until they are received.
Also included in the FY15 estimate is $631,877 for the Extension of Eisenhower Street from Ash Street to
Lincoln Avenue. This project is for the construction of a two-lane major collector with center turn lane from Ash
119
Street to Lincoln Avenue on existing City-owned property. Funding for this project is budgeted to come from
General Funds that will be transferred into the Streets Capital Improvement Projects Fund.
The FY15 estimate includes several projects on Rock Prairie Road. An estimate of $214,000 is included for the
continued land acquisition effort related to the Rock Prairie Road East Widening project. These funds will be
used for design and right-of-way acquisition costs related to the future widening of Rock Prairie Road East.
Construction funds are not included in the project budget. Also included is an estimate of $2,054,754 for the
construction of Widening of Rock Prairie Road West project. This project is for the reconstruction of Rock
Prairie Road from approximately State Highway 6 to Longmire. This project will improve the capacity of this street
segment and align additional travel lanes with the future reconfigured Rock Prairie Road overpass. A portion of
the budget for this project came from the balance of the Victoria Avenue Extension project, a portion from the
balance of the Tauber and Stasney Rehabilitation project and it is anticipated that the remaining portion will come
from COs issued in FY14. In addition, funds have been estimated related to the Rock Prairie Road Bridge
Widening project. The City of College Station designed the bridge widening and TxDOT is constructing the
project. The construction of the bridge is in progress. The bridge will be widened to six lanes with U-Turn lanes
constructed at the north and south ends of the existing bridge. The bridge will include a 10 foot wide multi-use
path and a 14 foot wide outside travel lane. In addition, acceleration/deceleration lanes will be added along the
frontage roads. The design was paid for by the City of College Station using the remaining unallocated Barron
Road Widening Phase II authorization (2008 GOB). The construction will be paid for by TxDOT using Proposition
12 funds received from the State that must be used on bridges and overpasses.
Lastly, $560,000 is projected in FY15 for design work on the Barron Road East/Lakeway Extension project.
This project will extend Barron Road from State Highway 6 East at the existing Barron Road to a future
intersection with the extension of Lakeway Drive. The Barron Road extension will be combined with the Lakeway
Drive extension.
Street TxDOT Projects
Funds have been included in the budget for the design of two projects that may be eligible in the future for TxDOT
funding. The first of these two projects is for the Design of U-Turns at State Highway 6 and FM 60. This project
will provide design funds for the future construction of U-Turns at the interchange in order to increase capacity
and improve mobility. The design of this project is estimated to be $600,000. A portion of the budget ($250,000)
for this project came from the unrestricted funds that were transferred in FY13 from the Wolf Pen Creek TIF Fund
to the Streets Capital Improvement Projects Fund for use on capital projects. An additional $50,000 came from
the balance of the Bird Pond Rehabilitation project and $300,000 of the budget is anticipated to come from CO
debt issued in FY14. The second project is for the Design of Raised Medians along University Drive. This
project is for the construction of raised medians and the installation of other pedestrian improvements from
Eisenhower to Tarrow. The design of this project is estimated to be $240,000, with a FY15 estimate of $139,509.
Funding for a portion of the budget for this project came from the balance of the Discovery Drive Extension project
and a portion came from the remaining unallocated Barron Road Widening Phase II authorization. Also included
in the FY15 estimate is $123,953 for the College Main Plaza Improvements project. This phase of the project is
for improvements that are needed to the bollard system.
Traffic Projects
The FY15 Approved Budget includes an estimated $2,093,114 for traffic projects throughout the City. This
includes $269,000 for the upgrade of the signal at 2818/Southwood. This project is for the replacement of the
traffic signals at the FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell Parkway) and Southwood Drive intersection and includes
pedestrian facility upgrades. Also included in the estimated expenditures for traffic projects is $400,660 for future
signal projects that may be needed as determined by the results of a traffic warrant study that was completed in
FY14.
The most significant traffic project to be included in the FY15 Approved Budget is the Intelligent Transportation
System (ITS) Master Plan. In 2013, a ITS Master Plan was developed in order to provide an evaluation status of
the Traffic Division and identify any deficiencies in technology such as signal controllers and central system
software that are at the end of their useful lives. The estimate of $1,423,454 that is included in FY15 is for the first
phase of a five-year ITS implementation plan. It is anticipated that CO debt will be issued for the capital costs of
this project that are included in the CIP.
120
Sidewalk and Trail Projects
The City of College Station has worked over the years to ensure adequate transportation infrastructure is
constructed for pedestrians and bicyclists. The City has an adopted Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master
Plan. In FY15, $2,934,847 is estimated to be spent on the construction of the Lick Creek Hike and Bike Trail.
This project is for the construction of sidewalk improvements and a hike and bike trail along Lick Creek between
Creek View Park on Eagle Avenue and Lick Creek Park. The trail and improved sidewalks will connect residential
neighborhoods and CSISD property. In addition, $810,000 is estimated to be spent toward the design and
construction of Phase II of the University Drive Pedestrian Improvements project. This project consists of
implementing the remaining phases (2 through 5) of the Pedestrian Improvements on University Drive. The
project is designed to improve pedestrian safety in the Northgate area of College Station while preserving
vehicular mobility. The improvements included in the project will ultimately extend from College Main to South
College Avenue. The first phase of the project will extend from College Main to Nagle Street.
Sidewalk Improvement projects estimated for FY15 include the construction of Sidewalks on Guadalupe Drive.
This project is for the design and construction of a sidewalk on one side of Guadalupe Drive from Langford Street
to Nueces Drive. The project was identified in the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan and is also an
ADA request. Also included is an estimate of $275,906 for the construction of Sidewalk Improvements on
Langford Street. This project is for the reconstruction of an existing sidewalk on one side of Langford Street from
Haines Drive to Guadalupe Drive. This project was also an ADA request.
In addition, a number of sidewalk projects will be completed using Community Development Block Grant Funds
(CDBG). These projects are described in more detail in the CDBG section of this budget document.
PARKS AND RECREATION CAPITAL PROJECTS
In FY15, expenditures in the amount of $5,417,793 are estimated for Parks and Recreation capital improvement
projects. Included is $105,600 for Field Redevelopment projects. A portion of the funds will be used for
replacement and repairs to numerous athletic facilities and parks throughout the City. The funds for these projects
are collected from the fees paid by players and teams from both City leagues and outside user groups. The funds
are used to pay for replacement items and facility upgrades at City athletic facilities.
An estimated expenditure in the amount of $300,000 is included for the purchase of park land throughout the City
as part of the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund project. These funds are used for acquiring properties for
neighborhood parks in Park Land Zones that do not have sufficient funds to use to purchase the land in advance
of development. As the development occurs and funds get contributed, the Park Land Zones will reimburse the
Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund so more park land can be purchased. By purchasing land ahead of
development, the City is able to acquire land that is more suitable for neighborhood parks and at a lower cost than
may be available after development occurs. In FY09 and FY11, funds from the Neighborhood Parks Revolving
Fund project were used to purchase park land in Northgate, which is in Park Land Zone 1. At that time, Park Land
Zone 1 did not have sufficient funds to purchase the land. As recent development has occurred in Northgate,
contributions have been received in Park Land Zone 1 for the purchase of neighborhood park land. As the
purchase of the Park Land has already occurred with funds from the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund,
$300,000 will be transferred into the Parks Capital Improvement Projects Fund from Park Land Zone 1 to
reimburse the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund for funds that were expended previously on the park land in
Northgate. The Parks and Recreation staff is currently exploring options for the next Neighborhood Park
Revolving Funds park land purchase.
In addition, $3,811,999 has been included for the construction of the Lincoln Center Addition. This project is for
the expansion of the Lincoln Center building to include additional space for programming and storage. Funds in
the amount of $1,063,000 are included to be used toward the construction of the Lick Creek Nature Center. This
center, to be built at Lick Creek Park, will serve as an informational education center for visitors who want to learn
more about the park. Lastly, $121,000 has been included for the installation of pre-fabricated Restrooms and for
remaining items to be completed at the site at the Wolf Pen Creek Festival Site. The restrooms will serve the
festival site.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT AND CAPITAL EQUIPMENT CAPITAL PROJECTS
General government and capital equipment projects are planned assets that have value to more than one specific
area of City operations. The two main divisions within this category are public facilities and technology projects. In
public facilities, $886,207 is the estimated FY15 expenditure for the design of the Library Expansion project.
The next phase of the project will be for consulting services that will better define the project scope.
121
The FY15 Approved Budget also includes a projected expenditure of $4,186,000 for technology projects. Included
is $74,076 for the Fiber Optic Infrastructure project. This project will support the installation of fiber optic cable
to continue expansion of the City's network to new buildings and facilities, and to permit the connection of existing
facilities that are not currently on the network. An estimate of $1,106,570 has been included in the budget for the
needs analysis and implementation work related to the public safety CAD/RMS (Computer Aided
Dispatch/Records Management System) Replacement project. This project is for the replacement of all
software and hardware based systems managing the information resources of the College Station Police
Department. The acquisition of a newer and more enhanced system will allow for a more efficient and productive
department; as well as provide the opportunity to accomplish more robust and advanced tasks. The total budget
for this project is $2,250,000 and funding for this project will come from several sources. These sources include
debt in the amount of $430,766 that remains from what was issued previously for a New City Hall. The use of
these funds is limited, but they may be used toward this project. In addition, a portion of the balance of the Radio
System Replacement project and the balance of the E-Mail and File System Migration project will also be used to
fund the project. In addition, CO debt in the amount of $1,540,000 was issued FY14 for the remaining needed
budget.
Funds in the amount of $2,997,840 are estimated for the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System
Replacement project. This project is for the replacement of the City’s primary financial and management
software system. The project is anticipated to occur in several phases over the course of several years. The total
project estimate is $5,185,000. Funding for this project will come from a number of sources. CO debt in the
amount of $3,325,000 was issued in FY14 for the project and the balance will come from the General Fund and
from the enterprise funds that will be benefitting from the project.
ADDITIONAL O&M COSTS
The FY15 Approved Budget includes a number of governmental capital projects that have been recently
completed and have added operations and maintenance (O&M) expense. In particular, the City’s General Fund
has been and will continue to be impacted by capital projects as they come on line. In some situations, the O&M
cost of a project is minimal and can be absorbed by the City department that is benefiting the most from the
project. In other situations, the O&M cost is more significant and funding for these additional expenses is
addressed through the Service Level Adjustment (SLA) process. In these situations, SLAs are submitted for the
O&M needs of the capital projects and funding is considered as part of the budget process (i.e. for additional
personnel). In some situations, the anticipated O&M cost is added to the base budget (i.e. additional budget for
utility costs).
Departments are expected to consider the impact of current and planned capital improvement projects on
operations and maintenance (O&M) budgets. This analysis is a component of the 5-year Strategic Business Plans
that are completed by all City departments. Projections as to the impact of capital projects on O&M budgets that
are included in the Strategic Business Plans are used by the Budget and Financial Reporting division in financial
forecasting.
The FY15 Approved Budget includes $301,343 for new O&M costs related to General Government CIP projects
anticipated to be completed in FY14 and FY15. Street projects for which O&M budget has been included in the
budget include Jones Butler Extension, the Health Science Center Parkway projects, and the Teleworks Upgrade
project. Budget has also been included for the several traffic signal projects including the signal that is expected
to be installed at Wellborn Road and F&B Road and the pedestrian signal upgrades at Holleman and Eleanor.
O&M costs have also been estimated for the ITS Master Plan project. The FY15 O&M associated with the ITS
Master Plan project is related primarily to maintenance of the system. The budget for this O&M was included as
an SLA item for FY15.
Also included in the FY15 Approved Budget is budget for the O&M costs associated with the completion of the
East District Maintenance Shop that was part of the Parks and Recreation capital projects. This includes
maintenance and utility costs needed for the expanded facility.
Budget has also been included in the FY15 Approved Budget for maintenance costs associated with the ERP
System Replacement project. This estimate will be refined as the project proceeds.
In addition to the budget included for FY15, O&M estimates are included in the financial forecasts for projects that
are expected to be completed in the next five years. A more detailed sheet at the end of this section reflects the
122
estimated O&M costs associated with the governmental capital projects. It is anticipated that the availability of
funding for the O&M costs will be limited in upcoming years. Therefore, departments will continue to evaluate
current operations before increases in budget will be approved. Recommendations may also be made to delay
projects for which O&M funding does not exist.

Estimated Operations and Maintenance Costs*
*The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) costs reflected above are estimates based on anticipated costs associated with each project. In some situations, the O&M cost of a
project is minimal and can be absorbed by the City department that is benefiting the most from the project. In other situations, the O&M cost is more significant and funding for
these additional expenses is addressed through the Service Level Adjustment (SLA) process. As the projects become better defined, the O&M estimates may be revised.

Utility Funds
The utility funds account for revenues and expenses in the Electric, Water and Wastewater funds. The Electric,
Water and Wastewater Funds’ budgets are prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting and the
current financial resources measurement focus. The budget measures the net change in working capital. The
measurement focus adjustment to arrive at Actual 2013 Working Capital is necessary because the proprietary
funds’ financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis
of accounting.
The Electric Fund, the Water Fund and the Wastewater Fund account for the operation and maintenance of these
Utility services that are self-supported by user fees.
Utility Revenue Bonds (URBs) were historically issued to provide for capital expansion and replacements for the
various utility services. However, based on recommendations from the City’s financial advisors, Certificates of
Obligation (CO) debt has been issued for utility projects from FY08 forward. In FY14, the amount of debt issued is
intended to cover the needs in both FY14 and FY15. Therefore, it is not anticipated that debt will be issued in
FY15 for Utility capital projects.
Electric Fund
The FY15 Electric Fund revenue is estimated to be $101,763,343. This is approximately a 1% increase from the
FY14 year-end estimate of $100,793,002. The FY15 revenue estimate is intended to reflect the growth that is
expected to impact the system in FY15. No rate increase is included in the Electric Fund in FY15. The FY15
operating budget in the Electric Fund is projected to be $78,659,864. This reflects a 16.79% decrease from the
FY14 revised budget. This is primarily due changes in anticipated purchased power prices in FY15.
Seven Service Level Adjustments (SLAs) are included in the FY15 Approved Budget. Several of these SLA’s
were related to pay and staffing within the department. The first SLA, in the amount of $265,000 is for an
adjustment to the salary rates of various technician positions within the utility in an effort to address a salary
disparity with similar positions in other utilities. This will assist the utility with attracting and retaining the
technicians needed to plan, operate, construct, and maintain the electric utility system. A second approved SLA,
in the amount of $96,577 is for the addition of an Engineer in Training (EIT) position. This position will help the
utility meet the needs of regulatory system planning and modeling requirements, will provide oversight and project
management for substation projects assigned to contractors, will provide various engineering studies and system
maintenance and growth plans, will install software updates to substation equipment, and will provide backup to
supervisory personnel in the substation area. The third SLA is for the addition of a GIS Technician position in the
amount of $63,531. This position will be responsible for updating and maintaining the GIS system in order to keep
up with system changes/updates and to provide the electric model on a frequent basis to help meet the objective
of providing reliable and safe service.
In addition to the aforementioned SLA’s, several SLA’s were approved for equipment and services. These
included an SLA in the amount of $61,600 for the purchase of Class 3 safety gloves, sleeves and blankets. This
purchase will allow the utility to upgrade the gloves for all the members of the transmission and distribution line
crews from Class 2 to Class 3. As part of the upgrade, rubber sleeves will also be purchased. This will better
protect the linemen from personal injury and will equip them to provide assistance to other municipal utilities
during major outage events. The fifth SLA, in the amount of $25,500 is for a contract to provide professional labor
support to the Electric System Substations group to monitor, test, and replace the SF6 gas in the 81 devices
currently in the CSU electric system. Due to the high cost of the compressor equipment required to sample,
evacuate and filter SF6 gas for reclaiming, it is planned to have these devices checked by bid contract on a four
year rotating maintenance cycle. Additionally, a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner needs to be purchased for the proper
handling of solid residue resulting from SF6 decomposition after the pressure vessel has been evacuated. The
sixth SLA, in the amount of $6,500, is for 7-year cycle background checks. The City of College Station is
mandated by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission/ North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC)
Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) regulations to perform a Personnel Risk Assessment (to include an identity
verification and seven-year criminal check) on any personnel having authorized cyber or authorized unescorted
physical access to Critical Cyber Assets. This SLA is to cover the cost of the group updated background checks
and the ongoing background checks as new employees are added. The final SLA, in the amount of $100,000 is
for the transmission right-of-way maintenance program. In 2009, the Electric Utility began trimming trees to meet
NERC regulations for transmission right-of-way clearing and access. The Electric Utility has a three year
133
maintenance cycle for this work in order to maintain the transmission line right of way and improve access and
reliability. This SLA is included so that the work can be conducted during the 2015 budget year.
The FY15 estimated non-operating budget is $17,946,617 or 39.04% above the FY14 revised non-operating
budget. This is due primarily to an increase in the amount of funds being budgeted in FY15 to be transferred to
the Electric Capital Improvement Projects Fund for use on electric capital projects. These funds are transferred in
lieu of additional debt issuance. In FY14, $700,000 was budgeted for this purpose, while in FY15, a total of
$5,500,000 is projected to be transferred for this purpose. It is anticipated that the reduction in the purchased
power costs will allow the utility to use more cash for capital projects in lieu of debt issuance in future years. Also
included in the FY15 non-operating budget is $311,531 to be used toward the Electric Fund’s portion of the FY15
estimated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System Replacement cost.
The FY15 estimated ending working capital is anticipated to increase 49.93% when compared to the FY14
estimated ending working capital. This is due primarily to the FY15 estimates for purchased power being lower
than in FY14. The FY14 estimate was also higher than originally budgeted due to unanticipated additional costs in
purchased power. The FY15 working capital is projected to meet the 15% working capital requirement as outlined
in the Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements.
Water Fund
Water Fund revenue for FY15 is estimated to be $14,791,020. This is a 2.43% increase over the FY14 year-end
estimate of $14,440,213. No rate increase is included for residential or commercial users in the Water Fund in
FY15.
The FY15 operating budget in the Water Fund is $6,832,627 or 4.66% less than the FY14 revised budget. A
number of one-time SLAs were included in the FY14 budget that were not included in the FY15 budget. This
resulted in an overall decrease in the operating budget from FY14 to FY15.
Six SLAs have been included in the FY15 Approved Budget. The first SLA, in the amount of $60,000, is for the
rehabilitation of transfer pump #3. The SLA provides for the removal, inspection and replacement of wear parts,
as needed, for one vertical turbine transfer pump and motor. This pump has reached the end of the expected
service life. A second SLA is for the purchase of a trailer with traffic control safety equipment that would meet the
requirements of the current Texas Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The SLA is for $30,000. The third
SLA, in the amount of $5,250 is for an increase to the department’s training budget so that it will better align with
training needs. A fourth SLA is for the addition of a tractor to the department’s fleet. The department is currently
using a ‘surplus’ tractor for easement mowing. It is anticipated that the tractor can provide several more years of
service, but it is not currently on the schedule for replacement. This SLA, in the amount of $21,000, is for the
funds that will be contributed to the Equipment Replacement Fund on an annual basis so that the tractor can be
replaced when it reaches the end of its service life. Funds for maintenance are also included in the SLA. The fifth
SLA, in the amount of $74,509, is for the addition of two field operators. It is anticipated that an additional operator
and a crew leader will be requested in FY16. This Crew will be largely responsible for inspecting, testing,
documenting and coordinating efforts to ensure that newly constructed infrastructure is built to specification prior
to City acceptance. This will allow the department to better address the demands of system growth. Finally, an
SLA in the amount of $1,000 has been approved in order to monitor for chemicals that might indicate
contamination of the drinking water aquifer as the result of hydrofracturing.
The FY15 non-operating budget is $8,256,834 or 9.47% lower than the FY14 revised non-operating budget. This
is primarily due to a decrease from $2,825,000 to $1,095,000 in the amount budgeted to be transferred in FY15 to
the Water Capital Improvement Projects budget for water capital projects. These funds are transferred in lieu of
additional debt issuance. Also included in the FY15 non-operating budget is $155,765 to be used toward the
Water Fund’s portion of the FY15 estimated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System Replacement cost.
The FY15 estimated ending working capital is anticipated to decrease 11.97% when compared to the FY14
estimated ending working capital. This is due primarily to the anticipated $1,095,000 transfer to the Water Capital
Improvement Projects Fund. A portion of the fund balance above the required 15% reserve is transferred to the
capital fund to be used in lieu of the issuance of additional debt for Water capital projects.
Wastewater Fund
The Wastewater Fund revenue estimate for FY15 is $14,516,187. This is a 1.05% increase over the FY14 year-
end estimate of $14,366,006. No rate increase is included for residential or commercial users in the Wastewater
Fund in FY15.

In June of 2014, City Council approved an agreement with Apache Corporation for the sale of treated wastewater
effluent (reclaimed water). Apache Corporation will be drilling and fracking a large number of oil wells in the region
immediately east of the Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant for at least two years. Apache Corporation’s
desire is to avoid using potable water for their operations, and thus Apache Corporation has contracted with the
City to purchase treated wastewater effluent. It is anticipated that this agreement will result in a significant amount
of additional revenue that will be collected over this two year (and potentially longer) period. This revenue is not
included in the aforementioned FY15 revenue estimate. As the revenue is realized, it will be accounted for in fund
balance and it is anticipated that it will be used toward wastewater and/or water capital projects brought forth as
part of the FY16 CIP and/or future CIP plans.
The FY15 Wastewater Fund operating budget is $7,248,568 or 4.10% higher than the FY14 revised budget of
$6,963,180. The majority of this is due to the addition of several approved SLAs in FY15, most of which are one-
time budget items. The first SLA, in the amount of $60,000, is for the installation of anti-fall devices at several
older lift stations. These devices are intended to prevent an employee from falling into the wetwell, which can be
over 30 feet deep. The newer lift stations have these devices installed as part of the original construction. The
second SLA is for a comprehensive Wastewater Master Plan update. This SLA is estimated to cost $250,000 and
will re-evaluate growth projections/demands, re-calibrate the City's current wastewater model, and develop a
capital improvements outlay that will increase system capacity for the future. The update will also re-evaluate
existing wastewater treatment facilities against TCEQ Chapter 217, re-evaluate sludge processing alternatives,
and re-evaluate nutrient removal alternative processes. A third SLA, in the amount of $9,750, is for an increase to
the department’s training budget so that it will better align with training needs. The fourth SLA, in the amount of
$50,000, is for the replacement of diffuser stones at the Lick Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (LCWWTP).
These stones provide the efficient distribution of needed oxygen to maintain healthy bacteria populations which
treat the raw wastewater. The stones utilized in the aeration basins at LCWWTP have reached their expected
service life and should be replaced to ensure continued efficient operations and regulatory compliance. The fifth
SLA, in the amount of $138,000, is for the purchase of and related costs to an additional dump truck. The
purchase of this truck will ensure reliable transport of solids out of both wastewater treatment plants. The sixth
SLA is for budget in the amount of $10,000 to be used for additional nutrient sampling and lab analysis. More
sampling is needed to better understand the nutrient concentrations, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus levels,
as they change throughout the treatment process. This data will then be converted into information by a
consulting engineer to best design the expected nutrient removal systems for future regulatory compliance.
Finally, an SLA in the amount of $1,000 has been approved in order to monitor for chemicals that might indicate
contamination of the drinking water aquifer as the result of hydrofracturing.
The FY15 Wastewater Fund non-operating budget is $7,844,996 or 19.21% lower than the FY14 revised non-
operating budget. This is primarily due to a decrease from $3,775,000 to $1,625,000 in the amount budgeted to
be transferred in FY15 to the Wastewater Capital Improvement Projects budget for wastewater capital projects.
These funds are transferred in lieu of additional debt issuance. Also included in the FY15 non-operating budget is
$155,765 to be used toward the Wastewater Fund’s portion of the FY15 estimated Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) System Replacement cost.
The FY15 estimated ending working capital is anticipated to decrease 21.29% when compared to the FY14
estimated ending working capital. This is due primarily to the anticipated $1,625,000 transfer to the Wastewater
Capital Improvement Projects Fund. These funds are transferred in lieu of additional debt issuance. A portion of
the fund balance above the required 15% reserve is transferred to the capital fund to be used in lieu of the
issuance of additional debt for Wastewater capital projects.

Sanitation Fund
The Sanitation Fund is a user-fee self-supported enterprise fund that accounts for the activities of collecting and
disposing of residential and commercial refuse in the City. This service includes once a week residential
collection, once a week bulky item pickup, once a week brush/yard clippings pick up, and once per week recycling
pick up. The recycling program and Clean Green activities are designed to help reduce the amount of solid waste
deposited into the landfill. This fund is budgeted using the modified accrual basis of accounting and the current
financial resources measurement focus. The budget measures the net change in working capital. The
measurement focus adjustment to arrive at Actual 2013 Working Capital is necessary because the proprietary
fund’s financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis
of accounting.
FY15 Revenues for the fund are estimated to be $8,839,711. This is a 6.93% increase over the FY14 Revised
Budget. This is due primarily to an approved 15% rate increase for commercial customers. This rate increase is
necessary to provide the resources needed to provide Sanitation services to commercial customers. Commercial
sanitation rates were also increased 15% in FY14.
The approved budget for residential and commercial Sanitation operations for FY15 is $6,854,431. Included in
this amount is an SLA for the ongoing operations and maintenance cost related to the purchase of a Grapple
Brush truck for brush collection operations. Continued growth in the City has generated the need for an additional
truck for heavy brush collection. In an effort to mitigate the initial financial impact on the Sanitation Fund, the
actual purchase of the vehicle, $212,808 will occur in the Equipment Replacement Fund and the recurring costs,
$27,400 will occur in the Sanitation Fund. The Sanitation Fund will reimburse the Equipment Replacement Fund
for the cost of this vehicle in future years.
Non-operating expenditures are budgeted for $951,982. Included is $722,034 for the utility transfer to the General
Fund as well as $403,910 for the Twin Oaks Landfill debt service payment. The expenditure for the debt service
payment will be offset by reimbursement received from the Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management Agency, Inc.
(BVSWMA, Inc.). The non-operating expenditure budget includes street-sweeping costs which, beginning in
FY14, is offset by transfers from the General Fund and the Drainage Fund. Also included in the FY15 non-
operating budget is $43,439 to be used toward the Sanitation Fund’s portion of the FY15 estimated Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) System Replacement cost. Funding in the amount of $52,740 is approved in the
Sanitation Fund for Keep Brazos Beautiful (KBB). This includes a new request for funding start-up costs for a
Community Garden site in South College Station ($2,500) and $4,000 for a Wildflower Seed Project. The base
request will be used for operations, the Demonstration Garden at the Texas Ave & George Bush site along with
beautification and litter abatement. The total FY15 approved expenditures for the Sanitation Fund are $8,609,503.
The FY15 Sanitation ending working capital is expected to increase by 56.61% from the estimated FY14 ending
working capital due to an increase in the estimated revenue in the Fund. The working capital is estimated to
increase over the next several years in order to meet the 15% reserve policy.

Northgate Parking Fund
The Northgate Parking Fund accounts for revenues and expenditures from the City’s Northgate parking facilities.
These revenues come from the Patricia Street Promenade Surface Lot, the College Main Parking Garage, and
metered street parking in the Northgate area.
This fund is budgeted using the modified accrual basis of accounting and the current financial resources
measurement focus. The budget measures the net change in working capital. The measurement focus
adjustment to arrive at Actual 2013 Working Capital is necessary because the proprietary fund’s financial
statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
FY15 parking fee revenue is estimated to be $1,185,350 in FY15. A Northgate parking rate fee adjustment was
implemented in August 2013.The rate adjustments focus on peak rates and special events and are intended to
raise the revenue needed to support the Northgate Parking Fund while having a minimal impact on Northgate
businesses. Other revenues in this fund include investment earnings and miscellaneous revenue.
Approved expenditures for Northgate District parking operations are $499,991. Also included in the Northgate
Parking Fund is budget related to non-parking costs in the amount of $192,426. This budget is included in the
Northgate Parking Fund as these functions are handled by the Northgate Parking staff. However, funds are
budgeted to be transferred from the General Fund to offset this cost.
Included in the Northgate Parking Fund is budget of $466,375 for the debt service payment related to the College
Main Parking Garage. Budget is also included for two projects at the Parking Garage. The first is $217,805 for
concrete repairs, and $97,560 is approved for masonry repairs. Total approved Northgate Parking Fund
expenditures are $1,420,247.
The budgeted FY15 ending working capital is expected to decrease 3.07% when compared to the FY14
estimated ending working capital due primarily to decreases in budgeted Northgate District operations expenses.

Capital Projects Budget
On an annual basis, the City of College Station prepares a five-year Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The
CIP is presented for City Council review as part of the annual budget process. The program consolidates all
anticipated capital needs for which funding authorization exists. The program is divided into several sections
depending on the services provided and the funding source.
Two categories of capital expenditures are defined by the City. The first category of capital expenditure is for
major capital projects. Major capital projects are projects that cost more than $50,000 and provide a fixed asset or
equipment that has a useful life of three years or more. The second category of capital expenditure is for minor
capital projects. Minor capital projects are projects that cost more than $5,000 and less than $50,000 and provide
a fixed asset or equipment that has a useful life of three years or more.
Historically, Utility Revenue Bonds (URBs) were issued when there was a need for financing capital construction
or acquisition and when the asset would reside in one or more of the City's enterprise funds. The City's enterprise
funds include Electric, Water, Wastewater and Sanitation. Based on the recommendations from the City’s
financial advisors, Certificates of Obligation (CO) debt has been issued for utility projects since FY08. Generally,
COs and URBs do not require voter approval. The debt will be repaid from revenues generated by the utilities.
The amount of debt issued in FY14 is intended to cover the needs in both FY14 and FY15. Therefore, it is not
anticipated that debt will be issued in FY15 for Utility capital projects.
Among the decisions and proposals that accompany capital project recommendations is an analysis of potential
ongoing costs and any potential impact on utility rates that a project may have.
UTILITY CAPITAL PROJECTS
Below are descriptions of the utility capital projects included in the FY15 Approved Budget. The funds expended
on these projects are considered significant and nonroutine.
Electric Capital Projects
The approved budget appropriation for electric capital projects is $7,135,418. Included is $50,000 for General
Plant projects. These include enhancements to the SCADA and the mapping system, as well as general plant
upgrades. Funds in the amount of $1,450,000 are estimated for Overhead System Improvement projects.
These funds will be used for the construction of overhead feeder extensions and upgrades of existing overhead
electric infrastructure. This includes the annual utility pole replacement program. Funds in the amount of
$1,530,000 are estimated for Underground System Improvement projects. These funds will be used for the
construction of new underground electric projects and for conversion of overhead power lines to underground.
Included in this estimate are various underground feeders in the Northgate area. A total of $1,615,000 is included
in the budget for New Service and System Extension projects. These funds will be used to provide electrical
system services for new customer additions (residential, commercial, apartments and subdivisions). In addition,
$95,000 is included in the budget for Residential Street Lighting projects. These funds are used for new
residential street lighting projects and improvement to existing residential street lighting. Funds in the amount of
$450,000 are estimated for Thoroughfare Street Lighting projects. These funds will be used for new
thoroughfare street lighting projects and improvements to existing thoroughfare street lights. The thoroughfare
lighting project planned for FY15 is Harvey Mitchell Parkway from University Drive to the north City limits. A
budget of $1,520,000 is included for Distribution projects and $390,000 is included for Transmission projects.
Transmission/Distribution projects planned for FY15 include the purchase and installation of a second transformer
at the Dowling Road Substation; various SCADA enhancements; rock and drainage control, as well as ground
grid updates at the Greens Prairie Substation; and battery replacement and breaker updates at the Southwood
Valley Substation.
The FY15 Approved Budget includes an estimated $5,500,000 in current revenues that will be transferred from
operations to fund Electric capital projects. The amount of debt issued in FY14 is intended to cover the needs in
both FY14 and FY15. Therefore, it is not anticipated that debt will be issued in FY15 for Electric capital projects.
159
Water Capital Projects
In FY15, $4,335,218 is the new appropriation included for water capital projects. The total expenditures in FY15
for Water capital projects are projected to be $6,687,309. Appropriations from prior years carry forward on capital
projects and additional appropriations may be added each year as the projects progress. The FY15 projected
expenditures exceed the FY15 appropriations as the projected expenditures include appropriations from prior
years. Water Production projects include an estimated FY15 expenditure of $3,656,540. A total of $170,000 is
included for design work related to the construction of Well #9 and $95,000 is included for the design work related
to the construction of the Well #9 Collection Line. As capacity needs grow, the City is preparing for the
construction of new wells. It is anticipated that the design of these wells will begin in FY15 with construction
scheduled for FY16 and FY17. An estimate of $32,000 is included in FY15 for the Well Field Fiber project. This
project is to connect Water Wells #1 and #2 to the existing fiber run to Well #7. An estimated $660,376 is included
in FY15 for the Sandy Point Chemical System Replacement project. The chemical feed and storage facilities
at Sandy Point Pump Station require upgrading to accommodate current expansion of the water production
infrastructure and to be in compliance with current fire codes. As part of the project, the existing chlorine
disinfection system will be replaced to improve personnel safety, operating reliability and cost efficiency.
$1,602,664 is the FY15 estimate included in the budget for the Cooling Tower Expansion project. This project
is for the design and construction of an additional water cooling tower and all of the associated appurtenances to
connect this new equipment into the existing system. The additional tower is needed to meet the increased
production capacity of the water system. An estimate of $1,096,500 is included for the Variable Frequency Drive
Replacement project. Various critical pieces of equipment such as water transfer pumps, water high service
pumps, cooling fans and some raw sewage lift pumps are powered by variable frequency drives. This project will
replace the Variable Frequency Drives that have exceeded their service lives with newer, currently supported
drives.
Funds in the amount of $1,876,547 are projected to be expended on Water Distribution projects in FY15. This
includes $100,000 of general Oversize Participation (OP) funds. These funds are used to help meet future
capacity needs by oversizing water lines above the minimum size required to serve a development. An estimate
of $227,700 has been included for the State Highway 40 – Graham to Barron project and $21,619 has been
included for the State Highway 40 – Sonoma Subdivision to Victoria project. These projects will extend a
water distribution line that will complete a section of an existing 24 inch water distribution line. These connections
will assist in proper operation of the distribution system by increasing connectivity between Dowling Road Pump
Station and the Greens Prairie Elevated Storage Tank. Design and land acquisition for the projects are scheduled
for FY15 and FY16 and construction is estimated for FY17. In addition, $1,017,620 has been included for the
Area 2 Water Line Extension project. This project is for land acquisition, design and construction of water
distribution lines along Greens Prairie Road and Arrington Road in accordance with a Certificate of Convenience
and Necessity (CCN) settlement agreement between City of College Station and Wellborn Special Utility District.
An estimate of $334,608 is included as the FY15 estimated expenditure for the Reinstallation of a 30 Inch
Water Transmission Line at Villa Maria and FM 2818. The existing water transmission line from Sandy Point
Pump Station to Dowling Road Pump Station was in conflict with TxDOT’s grade separation of Villa Maria and FM
2818. TxDOT agreed to install an encasement pipe during construction of their project that would be located in a
non-conflicting location. This project is for the installation of approximately 1,500 ft of the 30 inch water line that
was in conflict with the grade separation. Expenditures in the amount of $50,000 are projected in the FY15 budget
for the Southland Waterline project. This project will be completed in conjunction with the Southland Drainage
project which is for the design of flood mitigation measures along Bee Creek Tributary B. As part of the project, a
waterline will be extended from the boundary of the Copper Creek development and connected to the existing 6"
waterline in the Parkway Circle Apartments complex. Lastly, $125,000 is estimated for Miscellaneous Water
Rehabilitation projects that may arise throughout the fiscal year.
Rehabilitation projects included in the FY15 Approved Budget include $173,270 for design work on the Eastgate
Rehabilitation project. Construction is estimated for FY16 and FY17. This project will involve the replacement of
water and sewer lines in the area bounded by Lincoln Avenue to the north, Walton Drive to the east, Francis Drive
to the south, and Texas Avenue to the west. The water distribution lines are in need of replacement due to an
increase in service disruptions caused by deteriorating materials and inadequate fire protection. The project also
includes some street repair of existing aging streets in the respective project area. Several other utility
rehabilitation projects are also included in the FY15 estimated expenditures. These include the Luther Street,
Nimitz Street and Eisenhower Rehabilitation projects; and design of the Munson Street Rehabilitation
project and Francis Drive Rehabilitation project. Also estimated for FY15 is the Cooner Street Rehabilitation
project. The Cooner Street Rehabilitation project includes the rehabilitation of water and wastewater lines and
paving along Cooner Street from Texas Avenue to the street terminus. The water distribution lines are in need of
160
replacement due to an increase in service disruptions caused by deteriorating lines. Funding for the majority of
the cost of the project design came from Community Development Block Grant funds. Construction of the water
portion of the project will be paid for with water utility revenue. The utility line rehabilitation on these projects is
being completed in coordination with the corresponding street rehabilitation projects.
Contingency in the amount of $100,000 has been included in the FY15 Approved Budget. These funds will be
available for use on unanticipated projects as well as to offset project overruns. $150,000 has been included for
the meter replacement program that was implemented in FY08. This program is for the replacement of water
meters on a routine basis to ensure efficient water readings. The FY15 budget includes an estimated $1,095,000
in current revenues that will be transferred from operations to fund Water capital projects. The amount of debt
issued in FY14 is intended to cover the needs in both FY14 and FY15. Therefore, it is not anticipated that debt will
be issued in FY15 for water capital projects.
Wastewater Capital Projects
In FY15, $8,386,598 is the new appropriation included for wastewater capital projects. The total expenditures in
FY15 for Wastewater capital projects are projected to be $11,045,259. Appropriations from prior years carry
forward on capital projects and additional appropriations may be added each year as the projects progress. The
FY15 projected expenditures exceed the FY15 appropriations as the projected expenditures include
appropriations from prior years. Wastewater Collection projects include $228,260 for Oversize Participation
(OP). These funds are available to meet future anticipated capacity in the construction of wastewater lines above
the minimum size needed to serve the development. The FY15 estimate includes $100,000 for OP projects that
are not yet identified and an additional $128,620 for the Creek Meadows OP project that was added to the CIP in
FY14. An estimate of $1,399,000 is included for the East Side FM 158 Sewer Line project. As part of the
Sanitary Sewer CCN swap with the City of Bryan associated with the Bio-Corridor Infrastructure Project and ILA,
the East Side FM 158 Sewer Line project will provide sewer service to the service area within the City of Bryan
Corporate Limits acquired as College Station Sewer Service area. The total cost of this project is estimated to be
$1,632,000 and the City of College Station will be reimbursed by the City of Bryan for half of the cost of design
and construction. This project is for the construction of gravity sewer, a lift station and force main to serve
properties along State Highway 30 southeast of the intersection with FM 158 within the City of Bryan's corporate
limits and upgrade the gravity sewer that currently services property along State Highway 30 within the City of
College Station in order to convey flows from the City of Bryan to the Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant
(CCWWTP). Design of the line began in FY12 with construction expected for FY15.
In addition, an estimate of $4,295,000 is included in FY15 for the Bee Creek Parallel Trunkline project. The
existing Bee Creek Trunkline sub-basin currently serves areas along FM 2818, from areas north of Wellborn Road
to the Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. This project will install a gravity line to increase the system
capacity of the Bee Creek Trunkline sub-basin to accept the ultimate build-out demand anticipated in this
respective area. This project is being completed in phases, with the final phase expected to be completed in
FY17. Phase 1 construction is complete and land acquisition is currently in progress for phase II. Construction on
phase II is expected to begin in FY15. Also included is $192,637 for the Royder/Live Oak Sewer Line. This
project is for the design, easement acquisition and construction of a gravity sanitary sewer line along Royder
Road and Live Oak Street with laterals on Madison Street, Church Street and McCullough Road. Construction on
this project is currently in progress and should be completed in FY15.
Rehabilitation projects included in the FY15 Approved Budget include $170,470 for design work on the Eastgate
Rehabilitation project. Construction is estimated for FY16 and FY17. This project will involve the replacement of
water and sewer lines in the area bounded by Lincoln Avenue to the north, Walton Drive to the east, Francis Drive
to the south, and Texas Avenue to the west. The sewer lines are in need of replacement due to an increase in
service disruptions caused by deteriorating materials, shallow lines, and poor access to mains located near back
lot lines. The project also includes some street repair of existing aging streets in the respective project area.
Several other utility rehabilitation projects are also included in the FY15 estimated expenditures. These include
the Graham Road, Nimitz Street and Eisenhower Rehabilitation projects; and design of the Munson Street
Rehabilitation project and Francis Drive Rehabilitation project. Also estimated for FY15 is the Cooner Street
Rehabilitation project. The Cooner Street Rehabilitation project includes the rehabilitation of water and
wastewater lines and paving along Cooner Street from Texas Avenue to the street terminus. The sewer lines are
in need of replacement due to an increase in service disruptions caused by deteriorating lines. Funding for the
majority of the cost of the project design came from Community Development Block Grant funds. Construction of
the water portion of the project will be paid for with water utility revenue. The utility line rehabilitation on these
projects is being completed in coordination with the corresponding street rehabilitation projects.
161
Funds in the amount of $3,346,425 have been estimated in FY15 for Treatment and Disposal projects. An
estimate of $1,129,340 has been included for the Carters Creek Centrifuge Improvements project. This project
is for improvements to the existing Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant sludge dewatering system. These
improvements are designed to ensure the critical plant process of dewatering sludge is completed as needed,
thereby minimizing Plant odors. In addition, a total of $369,735 is estimated in FY15 for the Carters Creek
Treatment Structure Coatings Replacement project. This project is for the installation of new coatings and
some minor structural repairs to plant clarifiers. These repairs are necessary to ensure that the full service life of
the equipment is realized and full regulatory compliance is maintained. An estimate of $25,000 is included for the
Variable Frequency Drive Replacement project. Various critical pieces of equipment such as water transfer
pumps, water high service pumps, cooling fans and some raw sewage lift pumps are powered by variable
frequency drives. This project will replace the Variable Frequency Drives that have exceeded their service lives
with newer, currently supported drives. The design work for the wastewater components of the project will take
place in FY15 with installation in FY16.
Other Treatment and Disposal projects include an estimate of $755,000 for the Lick Creek Generator
Replacement. This project is for the replacement and upgrade of the existing Lick Creek Wastewater Treatment
Plant emergency power generator, which is nearing the end of its service life. The new generator will provide
additional power so that more of the routine Plant processes can be completed while under generator power. The
larger generator capacity will also provide operational redundancy and accommodate planned Plant Expansion.
Also estimated in FY15 is $105,000 for the Carters Creek Headworks Catwalk project. This project is for the
installation of a new catwalk along the South side of the Headworks structure. This will facilitate easier and safer
cleaning of the number two grit channel of the headworks facility. An estimate of $150,000 has been included in
the FY15 Approved Budget for the Carters Creek Fueling Station project. This project is for the replacement of
the existing above ground fuel tanks at Carters Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. An estimate of $300,000 has
been included in the FY15 budget for the Lick Creek Raw Lift Pumps project. This project is for the
replacement of the existing sewerage lift pumps at the Lick Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The existing
pumps are near the end of their expected service life.
Several General Plant project are included in the FY15 Approved Budget. These include an estimate of $94,350
for SCADA at the New Lift Stations. This project was created to fund the integration of new lift stations to our
SCADA system. In addition, an estimate of $240,000 is included for the Carters Creek Electrical Improvements
project. This project is for the replacements of the Motor Control Centers (MCC's) for Plants 2 and 3. Also
included in the FY15 budget is an estimate of $53,000 for the Aggie Acres Fiber Optic Conduit project. This
project is to provide for the communications hardware to enable critical lift station operations to be remotely
monitored. Lastly, $125,000 is estimated for Miscellaneous Wastewater Rehabilitation projects that may arise
throughout the fiscal year.
Contingency in the amount of $150,000 has been included in the FY15 Approved Budget. These funds will be
available for use on unanticipated projects as well as to offset project overruns. The FY15 budget includes an
estimated $1,625,000 in current revenues that will be transferred from operations to fund Wastewater capital
projects. The amount of debt issued in FY14 is intended to cover the needs in both FY14 and FY15. Therefore, it
is not anticipated that debt will be issued in FY15 for water capital projects.
UNFUNDED WATER AND WASTEWATER PROJECTS
Each year, as part of the budget process, projects are submitted for consideration of inclusion in the upcoming
CIP. A number of projects were considered for the Water and Wastewater CIP, but were not added because the
variables surrounding when and how they will proceed are still undetermined. However, there are potential
outstanding projects that could significantly alter future CIP’s. Several projects in the Medical District and the
Northgate area have been identified that may be needed depending upon how/when those areas develop. This is
currently being evaluated and may result in future significant CIP projects. In addition, future Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requirements resulting from the Clean Water Act may result in significant
nutrient removal projects at the LCWWTP and CCWWTP. The need for these projects is under review and will be
determined in the future.
ADDITIONAL O&M COSTS
The City of College Station strives to provide superior electric, water, and wastewater services to its citizens. Part
of this effort includes investment in the capital that makes up the infrastructure. These investments take place in
the form of capital improvement projects. Some of these improvements require additional operating and
maintenance (O&M) costs. These costs are identified and ultimately become part of the cost of providing these
162
utility services. In some situations, the O&M cost of a project is minimal and can be absorbed by the City
department that is benefiting the most from the project.
Departments are expected to consider the impact of current and planned capital improvement projects on O&M
budgets. This analysis is a component of the 5-year Strategic Business Plans that are completed by all City
departments. Projections as to the impact of capital projects on O&M budgets that are included in the Strategic
Business Plans are used by the Budget and Financial Reporting division in financial forecasting. No additional
budget was included in the FY15 Approved Budget O&M costs related to recently completed Utility Capital
projects. Projections for O&M are included in the financial forecasts for projects that are expected to be completed
in the next five years. A more detailed sheet at the end of this section reflects the estimated O&M costs
associated with the utility capital projects. The departments will continue to evaluate current operations before
increases in budget will be approved.

*The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) costs reflected above are estimates based on anticipated costs associated with each project. In some situations, the O&M
cost of a project is minimal and can be absorbed by the City department that is benefiting the most from the project. In other situations, the O&M cost is more significant
and funding for these additional expenses is addressed through the Service Level Adjustment (SLA) process. As the projects become better defined, the O&M
estimates may be revised.

Hotel Tax Fund
The primary funding source for the Hotel Tax Fund is the Hotel tax, a consumption type tax authorized under state
statute. This tax allows the City to collect up to its current tax rate of 7% on rental income of hotels and motels
within the city limits.
Funds derived from the Hotel Tax Fund can only be spent if the following two-part test is met:
I. Every expenditure must directly enhance and promote tourism and the convention and hotel industry.
II. Every expenditure must clearly fit into one of nine statutorily provided categories for expenditure of local
hotel occupancy tax revenues.
1. Funding the establishment, improvement, or maintenance of a convention or visitor information
center.
2. Paying for the administrative costs for facilitating convention registration.
3. Paying for tourism related advertising, and promotion of the city or its vicinity.
4. Funding programs that enhance the arts.
5. Funding historical restoration or preservation projects.
6. Sporting events where the majority of participants are tourists in cities located in a county with a
population of 290,000 or less.
7. Enhancing and upgrading existing sport facilities or fields for certain municipalities.
8. Funding transportation systems for tourists.
9. Signage directing the public to sights and attractions that are visited frequently by hotel guest in the
municipality.
This fund is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenues are recognized
when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are
recognized when the related fund liability is incurred with the exception of several items . The full listing of these
exceptions can be found in the Financial Policies on page F-1.
The FY15 budgeted Hotel Tax revenue is $4,668,000 which reflects an increase of 3.98% over FY14 year-end
estimate of $4,489,137. Hotel tax revenues are forecasted to increase due to a stronger tourism economy and the
addition of several hotels. Investment earnings of $55,000 are estimated for FY15.
In FY09, Hotel Tax Funds were used toward the purchase of the Chimney Hill property for the purpose of building
a convention center. In FY11, Council determined that it no longer intends to construct a convention center on the
purchased property and the property was put up for sale. The property has been sold and the proceeds from the
sale of the property, estimated at $7.5 million, as well of the balance of the Chimney Hill Fund, will be transferred
to the Hotel Tax Fund following the sale of the property.
Total City operating expenditures in the Hotel Tax Fund are $1,707,193. This is a 46.37% increase from the FY14
revised budget due, in part, to the increase in Preferred Access Payments. The FY14 revised budget ($229,167)
was for a partial year of payments while the FY15 budget of $530,000 reflects a full year. The City of College
Station will provide Hotel Tax revenue to the Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) in order to secure preferred
access to certain Texas A&M University facilities at preferred rates for the purpose of enhancing and promoting
tourism and the convention and hotel industry in College Station and Brazos County.
Total City operating expenditures in the Hotel Tax Fund also include $591,211 for expenditures related to Parks
and Recreation Programs & Events. Programs in the budget include items such as the Starlight Music Series,
National & Regional Athletic Tournaments, and other events that are eligible for Hotel Tax funds. Five service
level adjustments related to Parks & Recreation programs and events are approved with the FY15 budget. The
first SLA request is for $10,000 to host the Texas Public Pool Council annual conference in January 2015. A
second SLA requests $65,500 for tournament/event equipment needs to be utilized primarily at Veteran’s Park &
Athletic Complex. The third SLA requests $10,000 for the 2018-2019 Games of Texas bid fee. The fourth SLA
requests $15,000 for additional travel and training that will allow staff to attend additional conferences and
meetings that give the opportunity meet with and attract new and diverse events / tournaments to College Station.
The fifth SLA is for $160,000 to purchase of a portable stage to be utilized for special events throughout the City.
Other City operating expenditures budgeted in FY15 include $200,000 for soliciting and hosting of sports
tournaments in College Station and $19,000 for other miscellaneous programs and events. In FY15 the City
Council provided direction to reduce funding to the Convention and Visitors Bureau in the area of advertising in
the amount of $104,116. The funds will be redistributed to Public Communications and Marketing to be used for
advertising the City to encourage visitors to come to College Station. Also included is $77,866 for staff costs in
175
the Public Communications (PC) Department. PC staff members will be responsible for strategically creating
marketing materials that help increase tourism to College Station and its many amenities. In addition, PC staff will
introduce College Station to other markets through the development of brochures, promotional videos, and
marketing and advertising materials. It is anticipated that these responsibilities will be shared among PC staff
members resulting in the time spent on the activities equating to one FTE position. The primary focus will be to
create high-quality collaterals needed to bring tourism dollars to College Station. The position will be budgeted in
the General Fund and Hotel Tax funds will be transferred to the General Fund to cover the expenditures related to
eligible activities. The approved budget contains $25,000 for nonprofit/charitable organizations that hold events at
local hotels and meet the criteria for Hotel Tax use. These funds will be distributed at the discretion of the City
Manager.
A total of $2,062,694 of Hotel Tax funding is approved in FY15 Budget for Outside Agencies. This includes
$1,321,294 for the Bryan/College Station Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) for operational, sales/marketing,
promotional, servicing and business development elements; $250,000 for the CVB Grant Program; $65,000 for
Arts Council operations and maintenance; $348,400 to Arts Council for affiliate funding and $38,000 for marketing
and public arts support; $15,000 to Veterans Memorial to begin development of the American Civil War Memorial
at Veterans Park; and $25,000 for the Bryan/College Station Chamber of Commerce. In FY14, the budgets for
Brazos Valley Bowl and the Northgate District Association advertising moved to the CVB Grant Program funding.
Also beginning FY14, the George Bush Presidential Library is considered as part of the ACBV Affiliate Funding.
There is a 272.11% increase projected in the ending fund balance of the Hotel Tax Fund from the FY14 year-end
estimate to the FY15 Approved Budget. This is primarily due to the proceeds from the sale of the Chimney Hill
property increase in budgeted hotel tax collections and a decrease in budgeted capital expenditures related to the
construction of synthetic fields at Veteran’s Park.

Community Development Fund
The Community Development Fund is used to account for grants received from the U. S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) by the City for use in revitalizing low and moderate income areas and addressing
the needs of low and moderate income citizens.
The City has submitted an action plan to HUD for FY15 to receive the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and the Home Investment Partnership Program Grant (HOME). The CDBG program is a federal
entitlement program that provides basic funding for general programs and administration. The grant allows
administrators flexibility in the use of funds for a wide variety of eligible activities. The HOME program is a yearly
entitlement grant that can only be used for housing programs that assist income-eligible individuals and
households. Both CDBG and HOME allocations are based on a formula that includes criteria such as the age and
condition of a community’s housing stock, incidents of overcrowding, and the demographic characteristics of the
City.
Community Development Block Grant funds are allocated to projects including public service agency funding,
public facility and infrastructure improvement activities, owner-occupied housing rehabilitation, and Code
Enforcement activities. Other eligible expenditures include grant administration, housing services, interim
assistance, demolition, and acquisition.
The City currently uses HOME Grant funds for owner-occupied rehabilitation assistance and down payment
assistance. Funds are also approved for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) activities,
construction, rental rehabilitation, and Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA).
This fund is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis revenues are recognized
when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are
recognized when the related fund liability is incurred with the exception of several items. The full listing of these
exceptions can be found in the Financial Policies on page F-1.
Grant amounts included in the FY15 Approved Budget include $1,002,492 in Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds and $401,912 in HOME Investment Partnership Grant (HOME) funds. The budget also
includes previously programmed but unspent grant funds in the amount of $1,086,967 in CDBG and $1,112,406
in HOME, in addition to expected program income in the amount of $26,243 (HOME) to be received from
reconstruction loans executed in previous years and recaptured funds from the disposition of the Holleman
property in the amount of $2,390,844 (CDBG). Total CDBG proposed appropriations for FY15 are $4,480,303 and
for HOME are $1,540,561.
CDBG appropriations include Public Facility projects that are intended to expand, improve and/or add public
facilities and infrastructure when and where needed for designated low to moderate income areas of the city.
Improvements for FY15 include street and sidewalk projects. An estimate of $441,000 is included for the Nimitz
Street Rehabilitation project. This project is for the rehabilitation of Nimitz Street from Lincoln Avenue to Ash
Street. The proposed design is for a standard two-lane local street with sidewalk. An estimate of $60,000 is
included for the Dominik Street Sidewalks from Stallings to Munson Avenue. This project is for the design
and construction of a sidewalk on one side of Dominik Drive East from Stallings Drive to Munson Avenue. Budget
is also included in FY15 for the continuation of the Cooner Street Rehabilitation project. The Cooner Street
Rehabilitation project includes the rehabilitation of water and wastewater lines and pavement reconstruction along
Cooner Street from Texas Avenue to the street terminus. Funding for the majority of the cost of the project design
as well as the pavement reconstruction will come from Community Development Block Grant funds. Construction
of the utility portions of the project will be paid for with utility revenue. Lastly, funds are included in FY15 for the
continuation of the FM 2154 Sidewalk project. This project is for the design and construction of a sidewalk on
one side of FM 2154 from Luther Street to Southwest Parkway. Overall, approved FY15 Public Facility
appropriations total $1,679,017.

Recreation Fund
Fund Summary
Established in FY11, the Recreation Fund is designed to help the City identify costs and revenues associated with various recreational
sports, aquatics, Senior/Teen Centers, Lincoln Center and various instruction programs. Ultimately the fund will help identify how much the
General Fund is subsidizing these programs. As of FY14, the City no longer operates the Conference Center due to a FY13 City Council
decision to sell the facility because of structural damage.
The FY15 Approved Budget also includes three one-time SLAs in the amount of $43,500. The first of these SLAs, in the amount of $10,000,
is for costs related to hosting the Texas Public Pools annual conference. The cost of this SLA will be offset by a transfer from the Hotel Tax
Fund to cover eligible expenditures. The second SLA is for the purchase of a floor scrubber to be used at Lincoln Center. The cost of the
scrubber is estimated at $8,500. The third SLA, in the amount of $25,000, is for costs associated with renovating the Splash Pad at the
Lincoln Center. These renovations will turn the system into a one-pass flow through system. All of these SLAs are one-time requests.
This fund is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis revenues are recognized when they become
measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is
incurred with the exception of several items. The full listing of these exceptions can be found in the Financial Policies in the Appendix F.

The Wolf Pen Creek (WPC) TIF Fund accounts for ad valorem tax and other revenues that are accrued to the WPC TIF District. Th e
fund also accounts for expenditures on projects that take place in the WPC District.
This fund is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenues are recognized when they become
measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are recognized when the related fund lia bility is
incurred with the exception of several items. The full listing of these exceptions can be found in the Financial Policies on page F-1.
The TIF expired on December 31,2009. Therefore, no ad valorem revenue is estimated to be received in FY15. In years past, t he
TIF received ad valorem taxes from the City of College Station, College Station Independent School District and Brazos County on
the incremental increase in assessed valuation (captured value) over the base year (1989).
A total of $1,235,044 has been estimated for a payment in FY15 to College Station Independent School District for the balance of the
school district's portion of unspent WPC TIF funds. The WPC TIF Fund will be closed following the expenditure of the balance of the
funds, which is estimated in FY15.
The FY15 ending fund balance for this fund is projected to be 100% lower than the FY14 year-end estimate due to the anticipated
expenditure of the balance remaining in this fund.

In October of 2012, the City Council approved an amendment of the City’s Comprehensive Plan to include the
College Station Medical District Master Plan. To realize the vision and economic development opportunities included
in the Master Plan, significant barriers to development must be overcome. These barriers include, but are not limited
to lack of basic infrastructure (potable water, fire flow, sanitary sewer, etc) to serve development in the area and lack
of transportation capacity (vehicular, pedestrian, etc) to meet the mobility needs present in the area.
The approved Master Plan identified a series of financial and management tools necessary to overcome these
barriers and to maximize the development potential of the area. A key tool identified in the Master Plan is the use of
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones (TIRZ). Staff proposed the establishment of two TIRZ in the District.
A TIRZ is a political subdivision of a municipality or county in the state of Texas created to implement tax increment
financing. TIRZ are special zones created to attract new investment to an area. TIRZ help finance the cost of
redevelopment and encourage development in an area. Taxes attributable to new improvements (tax increments) are
set-aside in a fund to finance public improvements within the boundaries of the zone.
Established in December 2012, the West Medical District TIRZ #18, encompasses the area near the State Highway
6/Rock Prairie Road Bridge and includes both The Med Hospital and the Scott & White Hospital. Development
projects in this area include Rock Prairie Road (East and West), Normand Drive Extension, and other public works.
It is projected that new development in this portion of the District will meet or exceed $117 million over a twenty year
period. This development activity would yield an increment of approximately $8.4 million in tax proceeds. These
proceeds would be used to fund the required improvement projects, either through repayment of issued debt or on a
“pay as you go” cash basis.
The City of College Station is the only participant in this TIRZ at this time. In FY15, an estimated $192,085 in ad
valorem tax will be collected in the West Medical District TIRZ #18. Interest earnings in the amount of $2,500 are
also estimated. No expenditures are projected for FY15. Therefore, the FY15 ending fund balance is projected to
increase 262% over the projected FY14 ending fund balance.

set-aside in a fund to finance public improvements within the boundaries of the zone.
Established in December 2012, the East Medical District TIRZ #19, encompasses the area east of the State Highway
6/Rock Prairie Road Bridge and includes most of the undeveloped properties within the District. Development projects
in this area include Rock Prairie Road (East), Barron Road, Lakeway Drive, potable water, fire flow water supply,
greenway trails, sanitary sewer service, and other public works.
It is projected that new development in this portion of the District will meet or exceed $283 million over a twenty year
period. This development activity would yield an increment of approximately $30.8 million in tax proceeds. These
proceeds would be used to fund the required improvement projects, either through reimbursement to private
developers, repayment of issued debt, “pay as you go” basis, or a combination of these and others.
The City of College Station is the only participant in this TIRZ at this time. In FY15, it is anticipated that $1,005 in ad
valorem tax will be collected in the East Medical District TIRZ #19. No expenditures are projected for FY15. Therefore,
the FY15 ending fund balance is projected to increase 102% over the projected FY14 ending fund balance.

Municipal Court Fee Funds
The College Station Municipal Court collects a number of special fees that are authorized by the Texas
State Legislature. These fees are the Court Technology Fee, Court Security Fee, Efficiency Time
Payment Fee, Juvenile Case Manager Fee and the Truancy Prevention Fee. Other fees collected
specifically for child safety are collected in the General Fund and are used to pay for school crossing
guards. These fees are paid by those who pay tickets at College Station Municipal Court.
These funds are prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting. This accounting method
realizes revenues when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures for the current
period. Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is incurred with the exception of
several items. The full listing of these exceptions can be found in the Financial Policies on page F-1.
Court Technology Fee Fund
The Court Technology Fee Fund revenues can be used to fund technology projects at the Municipal
Court Facility. Projects can include enhancements and improvements to the Municipal Court computer
system and other improvements that involve technology. Defendants convicted of a misdemeanor
offense in the municipal court shall pay a municipal court technology fee of $4.00 in addition to any other
fines, penalties, or court costs required by city ordinance, state, or federal law.
The Court Technology Fee Fund generates revenues from Court Technology fees. Total approved
revenues are $62,377 in FY15. Approved expenditures in the amount of $80,619 will be used for
technology related purchases such as computer hardware and software for court facilities as well as
software training for Municipal Court employees. A portion of these funds, $26,000, is intended to be
used to replace eight analog video cameras with eight HD cameras at Municipal Court.
Court Security Fee Fund
The Court Security Fee Fund revenues can be used to fund security personnel, security devices and
security services for any building housing a municipal court of the city. Defendants convicted of a
misdemeanor offense in the municipal court shall pay a municipal court building security fee of $3.00 in
addition to any other fines, penalties, or court costs required by city ordinance, state, or federal law.
Approved FY15 fund revenues are $46,562. Approved expenditures are $80,641 for court security
personnel. Included in that amount is one SLA increasing the sworn officer pay by 3%. This is part of the
SLA request for the pay scale increase from the Police Department to better align the pay of the sworn
officers with that of other local agencies.
The FY15 ending fund balance is anticipated to decrease 66% when compared to the FY14 estimated
ending fund balance. This is due to revenues decreasing over the past several years, while expenses
have increased due to salary increases related to departmental step plans.
Efficiency Time Payment Fee Fund
The Efficiency Time Payment Fee Fund can be used for the purpose of improving the efficiency of the
administration of justice in College Station. The City retains ten percent of the total fee collected from
defendants who are delinquent in payment for more than thirty days for a misdemeanor offense, which
amounts to $2.50. Approved revenues in FY15 total $6,573. Approved expenditures in FY15 total
$4,160 and will be used to interface court system software with Texas Department of Transportation,
printing and distribution of collection notices. The Efficiency Time Payment Fee Fund summary is located
in the Governmental Funds section of this book.
Juvenile Case Manager Fee Fund
The Juvenile Case Manager Fee Fund revenues are used to fund Juvenile Case Management and the
City’s Teen Court Program. As of June 2011, the Texas legislature has approved the use of these funds
for training, travel, office supplies, and other necessary expenses relating to the position of the juvenile
case manager to be paid from the Juvenile Case Manager Fee Fund. Defendants convicted of a
189
misdemeanor offense in the municipal court shall pay a juvenile case manager fee of $5.00 in addition to
any other fines, penalties, or court costs required by city ordinance, state, or federal law.
Revenues in the Juvenile Case Manager Fee Fund are estimated to be $74,551 in FY15. Approved FY15
expenditures in the amount of $113,020 will provide funding for the salary and benefits of the Juvenile
Case Manager and the Teen Court Coordinator positions, as well as for related supplies, travel and
training. The FY15 approved budget also includes $1,065 for the training and recognition of Teen Court
volunteers.
The FY15 ending fund balance is anticipated to decrease 13% when compared to the FY14 estimated
ending fund balance. This is due to increased expenses related to salaries and benefits and the teen
court volunteer program. Revenues in this fund have decreased over the past several years as well.
Truancy Prevention Fee Fund
The Truancy Prevention Fee Fund revenues are used to fund truancy prevention and interventions
services. Defendants convicted of a misdemeanor offense in the municipal court shall pay a truancy
prevention fee of $2.00 in addition to any other fines, penalties, courts costs required by city ordinance,
state, or federal law. Approved revenues in FY15 total $13,040. No expenditures are projected for FY15.
The FY15 ending fund balance is anticipated to increase 200% when compared to the FY14 estimated
ending fund balance. This is due to revenues increasing from last year and the fund having no related
expenditures in FY14 or FY15.

Memorial Cemetery Fund
Fund Summary
This fund is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenues are recognized when they become
measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is
incurred with the exception of several items. The full listing of these exceptions can be found in the Financial Policies on page F-1.
The Memorial Cemetery Fund is a Special Revenue Fund that accounts for two-thirds of the sales of cemetery lots and other
revenues that are accrued through the new Memorial Cemetery, which includes the Aggie Field of Honor. For FY15, approved
revenue earnings are $258,778. Revenues are from the sale of lots at the new site and from investment earnings. The revenue
estimates include an increase in the plot costs of both the Aggie Field of Honor plots and the Municipal plots.
A transfer to the Debt Service Fund, in the amount of $262,795,is included in the FY15 approved expenditure budget. This
represents one-third of the total debt service related to the Memorial Cemetery. In FY15, it is proposed that one-third of the Memorial
Cemetery debt service will come from the Memorial Cemetery Fund and two-thirds of the payment will come from the Debt Service
Fund. FY14 was the first year that a portion of the Memorial Cemetery debt service payment was covered by the Memorial Cemetery
Fund. The portion of the debt service to be covered by the Memorial Cemetery Fund is forecasted to increase in future years, but the
Memorial Cemetery Fund will continue to be monitored in future years to ensure that this can be supported. The Operations and
Maintenance costs associated with the Memorial Cemetery Fund are included in the General Fund Parks and Recreation
Department budget.

The R.E. Meyer Estate Restricted Gift Fund was established in FY14. Robert Earl "Bob" Meyer passed away in October of
2013. As part of his Will, he generously bequeathed a portion of his estate to the College Station Parks and Recreation
Department, with the gift being restricted for the benefit of programs for senior citizens. During Mr. Meyer's lifetime, he loved
and supported the many senior programs offered by the Parks and Recreation Department Senior Services.
A total of $116,250 from the estate has been received to date with the balance expected to be received in FY15 after the
remainder of the Will is executed. In accordance with Mr. Meyer's Will, these funds will be used for the purpose of programs
designed to benefit senior citizens. No funds are currently planned for expenditure in FY15. As programming plans are
developed, it is anticipated that these funds will be budgeted for future expenditure in accordance with the agreement.

Special Revenue
Capital Improvement Projects
These funds are budgeted using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenues are
recognized when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period.
Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is incurred with the exception of several items. The full
listing of these exceptions can be found in the Financial Policies on page F-1.
SPECIAL REVENUE CAPITAL PROJECTS
Below are descriptions of the special revenue capital projects included in the FY15 Approved Budget. The funds
expended on these projects are considered significant and non-routine.
Park Land Dedication Capital Improvement Projects
The Park Land Dedication Funds account for the receipt and expenditure of funds received by the City from
residential land developers who dedicate land, or money in lieu of land, for use in the development of
neighborhood parks in residential areas. The projects in the Park Land Dedication Capital Improvement Projects
Funds are funded using the dedicated park land funds. Park Land dedication funds must be used for the
development of parks within the zone to which the funds are dedicated. In FY15, estimates are included for Park
Land Dedication projects that are anticipated to be completed in the various park zones.
In Park Land Zone 1, funds in the amount of $300,000 are budgeted to be transferred to the Neighborhood Parks
Revolving Fund project within the Parks Capital Improvement Projects Fund. Funds in the Neighborhood Parks
Revolving Fund project are used for acquiring properties for neighborhood parks in advance of development in
park land zones that do not have sufficient funds to use to purchase the land. As the development occurs and
funds get contributed to a particular Park Land Zone, the Park Land Zone will reimburse the Neighborhood Parks
Revolving Fund so more park land can be purchased. By purchasing land ahead of development, the City is able
to acquire land that is more suitable for neighborhood parks and at a lower cost than may be available after
development occurs. In FY09 and FY11, funds from the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund project were used
to purchase park land Northgate, which is in Park Land Zone 1. At that time, Park Land Zone 1 did not have
sufficient funds to purchase the land. As the recent development has occurred in Northgate, contributions have
been received in Park Land Zone 1 for the purchase of neighborhood park land. As the purchase of the Park Land
has already occurred with funds from the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund, it is projected that $300,000 be
transferred from Park Land Zone 1 to reimburse the Neighborhood Parks Revolving Fund for funds that were
expended previously on the park land in Northgate. An additional $400,000 was transferred in FY14 as a portion
of the reimbursement.
Other projects for which FY15 Park Land Dedication estimates are projected include $27,000 in Park Land Zone 2
for the replacement of playground equipment and surfacing at University Park; $27,000 in Park Land Zone
10 for the replacement of playground equipment and surfacing at Castlerock Park; and $27,000 in Park
Land Zone 13 for the replacement of playground equipment and surfacing at Castlegate Park. These
projects were submitted as Service Level Adjustments (SLAs) in FY15 and are being included in the CIP to be
funded out of the appropriate Park Land Zones. A transfer from the General Fund in the amount of $12,000 is
included for the project at University Park as there are not sufficient funds in the zone to cover the total estimated
project cost.
In addition, an estimate of $450,000 has been included in Community Park Land Zone C for the initial phase of
the All Inclusive Park. This project is a joint effort between the City of College Station, the College Station Rotary
Club, and the College Station Noon Lions Club. The park is designed for full inclusion of special needs children.
Additional funds are budgeted in a number of Park Land zones but these funds have not yet been obligated to
specific projects. These funds are available to be used for projects that arise throughout the year within the
applicable zones. Funds not used in the fiscal year will carry over to future fiscal years.
Drainage Capital Improvement Projects
Drainage capital projects are funded by revenue generated through a drainage utility fee that is collected from
residential and commercial utility users. Significant projects include a projected FY15 estimate of $589,627 for
Greenways Land Acquisition throughout the City. The City’s Greenways Master Plan calls for future trail
development in urban and suburban greenways. The funds for this project were from prior years’ debt issue and
204
the FY15 projected expenditures account for the use of the balance of this debt. An estimate of $200,000 is
included in FY15 for Minor Drainage Improvement projects. These funds are used for minor unscheduled
drainage projects that may arise throughout the fiscal year. An estimated $69,815 is included in FY15 for Phase II
of Erosion Control in the Wolf Pen Creek Trail Area. Bank stabilization measures will be designed and
constructed to protect the trails, irrigation, benches and other improvements in the upper trails area from erosion.
Expenditures in the amount of $90,218 are included in the FY15 Approved Budget for the Southland Drainage
Improvements project. This project is for the design of flood mitigation measures along Bee Creek Tributary B.
Reshaping of the existing channel will prevent localized flooding that occurs at the east end of Southland Street.
As part of the project, a waterline will be extended from the boundary of the Copper Creek development and
connected to the existing 6" waterline in the Parkway Circle Apartments complex. In addition, an estimate of
$73,627 is included for the Drainage Master Plan project. It is anticipated that this project will be completed in
the near future. The results of the study will be an inventory of existing infrastructure and a twenty (20) year
maintenance and infrastructure improvement plan for those portions of the drainage basins that lie within the city
limits. The plan will form the foundation for future infrastructure projects.
Additional O&M Costs
In some situations, the operations and maintenance (O&M) cost of a project is minimal and can be absorbed by
the City department that is benefiting the most from the project. In other situations, the O&M cost is more
significant and funding for these additional expenses is addressed through the Service Level Adjustment (SLA)
process. In these situations, SLAs are submitted for the O&M needs of the capital projects and funding is
considered as part of the budget process (i.e. for additional personnel). In some situations, the anticipated O&M
cost is added to the base budget (i.e. additional budget for utility costs).
Funds have been included in the FY15 approved Parks and Recreation base budget for estimated O&M costs
associated with the new synthetic fields that are planned for construction at Veterans Park. These funds will be
used for utility costs associated with the lighting of the fields. The budget for the costs associated with maintaining
the fields was added to the FY14 Approved Budget and will carry forward in the FY15 budget. The estimated
annual O&M for these fields is $25,000. In addition, budget is included in for O&M costs that are anticipated for
Southwest Park and for several sidewalk projects that were funded with Community Development Block Grant
Funds.
Departments are expected to consider the impact of current and planned capital improvement projects on O&M
budgets. This analysis is a component of the 5-year Strategic Business Plans that are completed by all City
departments. Projections as to the impact of capital projects on O&M budgets that are included in the Strategic
Business Plans are used by the Finance Office in financial forecasting.
In addition to the budget included for FY15, O&M estimates are included in the financial forecasts for projects that
are expected to be completed in the next five years. A more detailed sheet at the end of this section reflects the
estimated O&M costs associated with the special revenue capital projects. It is anticipated that the availability of
funding for the O&M costs will be limited in upcoming years. Therefore, departments will continue to evaluate
current operations before increases in budget will be approved. Recommendations may also be made to delay
projects for which O&M funding does not exist.

Estimated Operations and Maintenance Costs*
*The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) costs reflected above are estimates based on anticipated costs associated with each project. In some situations, the O&M
cost of a project is minimal and can be absorbed by the City department that is benefiting the most from the project. In other situations, the O&M cost is more
significant and funding for these additional expenses is addressed through the Service Level Adjustment (SLA) process. As the projects become better defined, the
O&M estimates may be revised.

Insurance Funds
The City of College Station is partially self-insured for property casualty and general liability, workers’
compensation and unemployment compensation. The City became self-funded for employee and dependent
health care in January 2004. The current program is administered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield. These Insurance
Funds are accounted for as Internal Service Funds.
Actuarially-based charges are made to each of the operating funds using relevant bases (i.e., health insurance is
charged monthly per full-time participating employee, while unemployment and worker’s compensation are
charged as a percentage of gross salary). This method of funding allows the City to more accurately reflect the
costs of claims against the various funds and to minimize potential risks.
For financial statement reporting, Insurance Funds (Internal Service Funds) are reported using the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The Insurance Funds (Internal Service
Funds) are budgeted using the modified accrual basis of accounting and the current financial resources
measurement focus. The budget measures the net change in working capital (current assets less current
liabilities). The measurement focus adjustment to arrive at Actual 2013 Working Capital is necessary because the
insurance funds’ (internal service funds’) working capital results from using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting purposes.
Property & Casualty Insurance Fund
Budgeted premiums are based on the actual amounts charged to departments to cover the City’s Property and
Casualty costs. The premium revenue approved for FY15 is $952,086. Approved investment earnings are $3,788
and other revenues, including subrogation, are projected to be $75,000. The total approved revenues for the
Property & Casualty Insurance Fund are $1,030,874. Approved expenditures in this fund are $983,944.
Employee Benefits Fund
Approved revenues in the Employee Benefits Fund are $9,232,124. Increased City and employee contributions
have been necessary over the last few years to help offset rising claims costs. As a result, the City began offering
two health care plan options. Each plan has a unique deductible and copayment. These plan changes were put
in place to help control rising health care costs. FY15 expenditures are based on estimates of future claims,
premiums, and other miscellaneous costs. The approved expenditures for the Employee Benefits Fund are
$9,207,773.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance Fund
Budgeted premiums are based on the actual amounts charged to departments to cover the City’s Workers
Compensation costs. In FY15, approved revenues are $560,687 and approved expenditures are $660,523.
Unemployment Insurance Fund
Revenues in this fund are collected based as a percentage of each employee’s salary. Total FY15 approved
revenues, including premium costs and investment earnings, are $32,788. Claims costs in the amount of $50,000
are approved to be budgeted in FY15.

Equipment Replacement Fund
The Equipment Replacement Fund is an internal service fund that provides equipment and fleet replacements
within the City of College Station. In an effort to better control costs, the fund receives rental charges from
departments based on the economic life of their equipment and vehicles. The equipment and vehicle
replacements are then purchased out of this fund as scheduled and/or as conditions warrant. This fund is
prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting where cash transactions are included in the budget
presentation in lieu of non-cash transactions such as depreciation. The focus is on the net change in working
capital.
Specific rental charges are based upon the estimated replacement price of the individual items. Approved
replacement policies include the following:
1. All qualified existing fleet equipment will be replaced through the Equipment Replacement Fund. Other
equipment will be replaced through the budget process.
2. Each department will be charged an annual replacement fee based on the useful life and anticipated
replacement cost of each vehicle assigned to that department. Each year, the fleet superintendent meets with
various departments and determines what items need to be replaced. The list is then submitted to the Budget
Office for funding recommendations and inclusion in the annual budget after it has been approved by the
director of each department.
3. Police, Fire, and Emergency Management are charged for Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs). The Information
Technology department evaluates the hardware and software required to operate the system each year to
determine what hardware may need to be replaced. The anticipated life of the MDT units is five years.
4. Each department will be charged an annual copier replacement fee based upon the number of authorized
copiers. Each year, the company that has been contracted to maintain copiers evaluates each copier and
determines which copiers need to be replaced. The approved replacement list is then further evaluated by
Budget and IT representatives based on the availability of funds. New (additions to the inventory) copiers are
funded through the department’s operating budget.
5. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) provide temporary battery power to run critical equipment in the event
of a power interruption. These units generally serve equipment that supports all departments. The UPS’s at
approved locations are funded from the equipment replacement fund and each department contributes to their
replacement and maintenance.
6. Virtual servers/storage devices provides a way for the City to run the same application on multiple servers
without purchasing additional hardware. Purchases are budgeted in the Equipment Replacement Fund
beginning in FY14. FY15 will be the first year of cost allocation of the virtual storage costs to all departments.
The IT department estimates the annual cost of replacement.
7. Other equipment, not specifically detailed above, will be handled in a similar manner. Representatives of
affected departments will be responsible for meeting with Fiscal Services to determine if inclusion in the
Equipment Replacement Fund is warranted.
In FY15, $711,532 is approved for new fleet purchases as follows: Police Department for $132,000 for three
patrol vehicles, $44,224 for two Traffic Officer Motorcycles, and $22,250 for police radios; Public Works $35,000
for the addition of a Landscape supervisor vehicle and $25,500 for a truck in the Traffic Signals Division; Parks &
Recreation $35,000 for a van for the approved new Irrigation Specialist. The Water Distribution division has
$21,000 approved for the funds that will be contributed to the Equipment Replacement Fund on an annual basis
so that a tractor can be replaced when it reaches the end of its service life. Wastewater will purchase a $120,000
Dump Truck and Utility Customer Service will purchase a $22,750 new truck for a Meter Service Technician.
Sanitation funding for $212,808 is approved to purchase a Grapple Truck for brush collection. Drainage is
approved to purchase a mini excavator for $41,000.
On some vehicle purchases, a trade-in is anticipated and the trade-in value is used to offset the expected cost of
the vehicle. A list outlining the vehicles to be replaced is included on the following pages.
The FY15 Equipment Replacement ending working capital is expected to decrease by 15.93% from the estimated
FY14 ending working capital. The working capital in the Equipment Replacement Fund fluctuates from year to
year based on the vehicles that are up for replacement. A seven-year fund forecast is prepared to ensure that the
Fund has sufficient working capital to accommodate the scheduled replacements.

Utility Customer Service Fund
The Utility Customer Service Fund is an Internal Service Fund used to account for expenses associated with
reading electric and water meters within the city limits of College Station, completing connect and disconnect work
requests, and providing customer service activities including billing and collections for Electric, Water,
Wastewater, Sanitation, and Drainage utilities. For financial statement reporting, Internal Service Funds are
reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
The Utility Customer Service Fund (Internal Service Fund) is budgeted using the modified accrual basis of
accounting and the current financial resources measurement focus. The budget measures the net change in
working capital (current assets less current liabilities). The measurement focus adjustment to arrive at Actual
2013 Working Capital is necessary because the (internal service) fund’s working capital results from using the
economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting purposes.
Revenues in the Utility Customer Service Fund are received as service charges from the various enterprise funds
and the Drainage Fund. Revenues of $2,310,524 are approved for FY15.
FY15 approved expenditures are $2,329,034. Two SLAs are included in the approved budget. The first SLA, in
the amount $64,105, is for the addition of one Full Time Meter Services Representative and one vehicle. This
position will add additional capacity to Meter Services to ensure the City’s growing number of electric and water
meters are read accurately and in a timely manner. This will increase the total FTE count in the Utility Customer
Service Fund by 1.0 FTE. The second SLA will fund year 1 of 2 of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
Process Documentation, which will provide contract services to assist with document new processes as part of
the system implementation. This will be a one-time expenditure of $25,000.

Fleet Maintenance Fund
The Fleet Maintenance Fund is an Internal Service Fund which receives revenue based on expected
costs of departmental transportation and uses those funds to pay for maintaining the City’s fleet of
vehicles.
Internal Service Funds are budgeted using the modified accrual basis of accounting and the current
financial resources measurement focus. The budget measures the net change in working capital (current
assets less current liabilities) to arrive at Actual 2013 Working Capital. This is necessary because the
internal service fund’s working capital results from using the economic resources measurement focus and
the accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting purposes.
Estimates for annual funding levels have been developed using a number of techniques that forecast fleet
maintenance costs. Each department with assigned vehicles will be charged an annual maintenance fee
to cover inspections and maintenance. The revenues are transferred from departmental budgets on a
monthly basis to ensure that sufficient funds will be available to fund all expenses related to the specific
functions.
In FY15, total estimated revenues in the Fleet Maintenance Fund are forecasted to be $2,054,820. FY15
revenue includes $60,000 in SLAs related to fleet additions.
The approved FY15 Fleet Maintenance expenditures are $1,946,624. This includes a $38,655 SLA for
the addition of one Fleet Service Runner/Porter to perform shop and office duties to include transporting
parts and vehicles as needed, shop and parts warehouse housekeeping, cleaning vehicles and
equipment, preparing retired units for auction, and preparing receiving fleet replacement for service. A
second SLA in the amount of $35,400 is included for tire mounting machines, balancers, and accessories
needed to continue to perform maintenance and repairs on light and heavy vehicles and equipment in a
safe and timely manner.
The FY15 budgeted ending working capital is anticipated to increase 142.87% when compared to the
FY14 estimated ending working capital. This is due to a budgeted increase in fleet charges revenue and a
decrease in fleet maintenance expenditures.

time, but the emergency notes and renewals of any such notes made during a fiscal year
shall be paid not later than the last day of the fiscal year next succeeding that in which the
emergency appropriation was made.
3. If at any time during the fiscal year it appears probable to the City Manager that the revenues
or fund balances available will be insufficient to meet the amounts appropriated, the City
Manager shall report to the City Council without delay, indicating the estimated amount of
the deficit, any remedial action taken and recommendations as to any other steps to be taken.
The Council shall then take such further action as it deems necessary to prevent or reduce
any deficit and for that purpose it may by ordinance reduce one or more appropriations.
Lapse of Appropriation
Section 60. All appropriations shall lapse at the end of the fiscal year to the extent that they shall
not have been expended or lawfully encumbered.
F-1 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements
FISCAL AND BUDGETARY
POLICY STATEMENTS
I. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The broader intent of the following Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements is to enable the City to achieve a long-term
stable and positive financial condition. The watchwords of the City’s financial management include integrity, prudent
stewardship, planning, accountability, and full disclosure.
The more specific purpose is to provide guidelines to the Chief Financial Officer in planning and directing the City’s day-
to-day financial affairs and in developing recommendations to the City Manager and City Council.
The scope of these policies generally spans, among other issues, accounting, purchasing, auditing, financial reporting,
internal controls, operating and capital budgeting, revenue management, cash and investment management, expenditure
control, asset management, debt management, and planning concepts, in order to:
A. Present fairly and with full disclosure the financial position and results of the financial operations of the City in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and
B. Determine and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal and contractual issues in accordance with
provisions of the Texas Local Government Code and other pertinent legal documents and mandates.
The City Council will annually review and approve the Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements as part of the budget
process.
II. OPERATING BUDGET
A. PREPARATION. Budgeting is an essential element of the financial planning, control, and evaluation process of
municipal government. The “operating budget” is the City’s annual financial operating plan. The budget includes all
of the operating departments of the City, the debt service fund, all capital projects funds, and the internal service
funds of the City. The budgets for the General Funds and Special Revenue Funds are prepared in the Office of
Budget and Strategic Planning on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenues are
recognized when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period . Expenditures
are recognized when the related fund liability is incurred with the exception of: unmatured interest on long term debt
which is recognized when due and certain compensated absences and claims and judgments such as accrued
vacation leave which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable resources.
The budgets for the Enterprise and Internal Service Funds are similarly prepared on the modified accrual basis of
accounting where cash transactions are included in the budget presentation in lieu of non cash transactions such as
depreciation. The focus is on the net change in working capital (current assets less current liabilities).
The budget is prepared with the cooperation of all City Departments, and is submitted to the City Manager who
makes any necessary changes and transmits the document to the City Council. The budget shall be presented to the
City Council no later than six weeks prior to fiscal year end, and shall be enacted by the City Council on or before
the twenty-seventh day of the last month of the preceding fiscal year.
1. APPROVED BUDGET. An approved budget shall be prepared by the Manager with the participation of all of
the City’s Department Directors within the provisions of the City Charter.
a. The budget shall include four basic segments for review and evaluation: (1) personnel costs, (2) base budget
for operations and maintenance costs, (3) service level adjustments for increases or decreases to existing
service levels, and (4) revenues.
F-2 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements
b. The budget review process shall include Council participation in the development of each of the four segments
of the approved budget and a public hearing to allow for citizen participation in the budget preparation.
c. The budget process shall span sufficient time to address policy and fiscal issues by the Council.
d. A copy of the approved budget shall be filed with the City Secretary when it is submitted to the City Council in
accordance with the provisions of the City Charter.
2. ADOPTION. Upon the presentation of an approved budget document to the Council, the Council shall call and
publicize a public hearing. The Council will subsequently adopt by ordinance such budget as it may have been
amended as the City’s Annual Budget, effective for the fiscal year beginning October 1.
3. BUDGET AWARD. The operating budget will be submitted annually to the Government Finance Officers
Association (GFOA) for evaluation and consideration for the Award for Distinguished Budget Presentation.
B. BALANCED BUDGET. The operating budget will be balanced with current revenues, exclusive of beginning
resources, greater than or equal to current expenditures/expenses. Excess balances shall be used as capital funds or
other non-recurring expenditures.
C. PLANNING. The budget process will be coordinated so as to identify major policy issues for City Council. The
budget process will be a part of an overall strategic planning process for the City.
D. REPORTING. Periodic financial reports will be prepared to enable the Department Directors to assess their
budgetary and operational performance and to enable the Office of Budget and Strategic Planning to monitor and
control the budget as authorized by the City Manager. Summary financial reports will be presented to the City Council
quarterly within thirty (30) working days after the end of each quarter . Such reports will be in a format appropriate to
enable the City Council to understand the big picture budget status.
E. CONTROL. Operating expense control is addressed in Section IV. of these Policies.
F. CONTINGENT APPROPRIATION. Pursuant to Section 58 of the Charter of the City of College Station, the City
will establish an adequate contingent appropriation in each of the operating funds. The expenditure for this
appropriation shall be made only in cases of emergency, and a detailed account shall be recorded and reported . The
proceeds shall be disbursed only by transfer to departmental appropriation . The transfer of this budget appropriation
shall be under the control of the City Manager and may be distributed by him in amounts not exceeding $50,000. Any
transfer involving more than such amounts must be expressly approved in advance by the City Council.
All transfers from the contingent appropriation will be evaluated using the following criteria:
1. Is the request of such an emergency nature that it must be made immediately?
2. Why was the item not budgeted in the normal budget process?
3. Why can’t the transfer be made within the division or department?
III. REVENUE MANAGEMENT.
A. OPTIMUM CHARACTERISTICS. The City will strive for the following optimum characteristics in its revenue
system:
1. SIMPLICITY. The City, where possible and without sacrificing accuracy, will strive to keep the revenue system
simple in order to reduce compliance costs for the taxpayer or service recipient. A corresponding decrease in the
F-3 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements
City’s cost of collection and a reduction in avoidance to pay will thus result. The City will avoid nuisance taxes or
charges as revenue sources.
2. CERTAINTY. A knowledge and understanding of revenue sources increases the reliability of the revenue system.
The City will understand its revenue sources and enact consistent collection policies to provide assurances that the
revenue base will materialize according to budgets and plans.
3. EQUITY. The City shall make every effort to maintain equity in its revenue system; i.e., the City shall seek to
minimize or eliminate all forms of subsidization between entities, funds, services, utilities, and customer classes.
4. REVENUE ADEQUACY. The City shall require that there be a balance in the revenue system; i.e., the revenue
base will have the characteristic of fairness and neutrality as it applies to cost of service, willingness to pay, and
ability to pay.
5. ADMINISTRATION. The benefits of a revenue source will exceed the cost of levying and collecting that
revenue. The cost of collection will be reviewed annually for cost effectiveness as a part of the indirect cost and
cost of service analysis. Where appropriate, the City will use the administrative processes of State or Federal
collection agencies in order to reduce administrative costs.
6. DIVERSIFICATION AND STABILITY. A diversified revenue system with a stable source of income shall be
maintained. This approach will help avoid instabilities in particular revenue sources due to factors such as
fluctuations in the economy and variations in the weather. Stability is achieved by a balance between elastic and
inelastic revenue sources.
B. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. The following considerations and issues will guide the City in its revenue policies
concerning specific sources of funds:
1. COST/BENEFIT OF INCENTIVES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. The City will use due caution in
the analysis of any tax or fee incentives that are used to encourage development. Ideally, a cost/benefit (fiscal
impact) analysis will be performed as part of such evaluation.
2. NON-RECURRING REVENUES. One-time or non-recurring revenues will not be used to finance ongoing
operations. Non-recurring revenues should be used only for one-time expenditures such as long-lived capital
needs. They will not be used for budget balancing purposes.
3. PROPERTY TAX REVENUES. All real and business personal property located within the City shall be valued
at 100% of the fair market value for any given year based on the current appraisal supplied to the City by the
Brazos County Appraisal District. Reappraisal and reassessment shall be done at a minimum of once every three
years.
A ninety-six and one half percent (96.5%) collection rate shall serve each year as a minimum goal for tax
collections. The City Manager may, for budget and forecasting purposes, use up to the tax rate in effect for the
current year’s budget. This policy will require that the City Manager justify a tax rate that is different from the
current tax rate. The justification will be based on City Council directions, needs arising from voter authorized
bonds, or other extraordinary conditions as may arise from time to time.
4. INVESTMENT INCOME. Earnings from investment (both interest and capital gains) of available monies,
whether pooled or not, will be distributed to the funds in accordance with the equity balance of the fund from
which monies were provided to be invested.
5. USER-BASED FEES AND SERVICE CHARGES. For services associated with a user fee or charge, the direct
and indirect costs of that service will be offset by a fee where possible . There will be a review of fees and charges
no less than once every three years to ensure that fees provide adequate coverage of costs of services. User charges
F-4 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements
may be classified as “full cost recovery,” “partial cost recovery I,” “partial cost recovery II” and “minimal cost
recovery,” based upon City Council policy.
a. Full fee support (80-100%) will be obtained from enterprise operations such as utilities, sanitation service,
landfill, cemetery and licenses and permits.
b. Partial fee support I (50-80%) will be generated by charges for emergency medical services, miscellaneous
licenses and fines, and all adults’ sports programs.
c. Partial fee support II (20%-50%) will be generated by charges for youth programs and activities.
d. Minimum fee support (0-20%) will be obtained from other parks, recreational and cultural programs and
activities.
6. ENTERPRISE FUND RATES. The City will review and adopt utility rates as needed to generate revenues
required to fully cover operating expenses, meet the legal restrictions of all applicable bond covenants, and
provide for an adequate level of working capital.
Additionally, enterprise activity rates will include transfers to and receive credits from other funds as follows:
a. General and Administrative (G&A) Charges. G&A costs will be charged to all funds for services of general
overhead, such as administration, finance, customer billing, personnel, technology, engineering, legal counsel,
and other costs as appropriate. The charges will be determined through an indirect cost allocation study
following accepted practices and procedures.
b. Utility Transfer to General Fund. The intent of this transfer is to provide a benefit to the citizens for their
ownership of the various utility operations. An in-lieu-of-franchise fee is included as part of the rate
computation of the transfer and is consistent with the franchise rates charged to investor owned utilities
franchised to operate within the City.
(1) Electric Fund
Starting in FY12, the City began to reduce the total transfer from the Electric Fund. It is estimated that the
reduction in the transfer amount will occur in FY12 and FY13. Starting in FY14, the Utility Transfer to the
General Fund will be calculated based on kWh usage at a rate of that would equate to an approximate 6%
franchise fee. Currently, this rate is estimated to be $0.007/kWh. The final total transfer amount will not
exceed 6% of total estimated operating revenues.
(2) Water, Wastewater and Sanitation Funds
This transfer will be made in accordance with the following two methods, not to exceed 10% of the total
estimated operating revenues for the Water and Wastewater Funds, and 10% for the Sanitation Fund:
(1) In-Lieu-of-Franchise Fee. In-lieu-of-franchise fee will be included as part of the rate computation at
6% of gross sales consistent with the franchise rates charged to investor owned utilities franchised to
operate within the City.
(2) Utility Transfer to the General Fund. This transfer will be calculated at 8% of total Fund Equity.
7. INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES. Reliance on intergovernmental revenues (grants) will be eliminated
or reduced. Any potential grants will be examined for matching and continuation of program requirements. These
revenue sources should be used only for projects and programs where operating and maintenance costs that have
been included in the financial forecast and their ultimate effect on operations and revenue requirements are
anticipated.
F-5 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements
8. REVENUE MONITORING. Revenues as they are received will be regularly compared to budgeted revenues and
variances will be investigated. This process will be summarized in the appropriate budget report.
IV. EXPENDITURE CONTROL
A. APPROPRIATIONS. The point of budgetary control is at the department level in the General Fund and at the fund
level in all other funds. When budget adjustments among Departments and/or funds are necessary, they must be
approved by the City Council and must meet other requirements as outlined in the City Charter. Budget appropriation
amendments at lower levels of control shall be made in accordance with the applicable administrative procedures.
B. AMENDMENTS TO THE BUDGET. In accordance with the City Charter, the budget may be amended after the
following conditions are met:
1. The City Manager certifies that there are available revenues in excess of those estimated in the Budget.
2. The City Council holds a public hearing on the supplemental appropriation.
3. The City Council approves the supplemental appropriation.
C. CENTRAL CONTROL. Modifications within the operating categories (salaries, supplies, maintenance, services,
capital etc.) can be made with the approval of the City Manager. Modifications to reserve categories and
interdepartmental budget totals will be done only by City Council consent with formal briefing and council action.
D. PURCHASING. The City shall make expenditures to promote the best interests of the citizens of College Station.
The City shall encourage free and unrestricted competition on bids and purchases, ensuring the taxpayers the best
possible return on and use of their tax dollars. It shall be the policy of the City to fully comply with and make
purchases or expenditures pursuant to the City’s Purchasing Manual which includes policies, rules, regulations,
procedures, state and federal law.
The Purchasing office, a division of Fiscal Services, is the central authority for all purchasing activity $3,000 and
greater. The City Manager or his designee, in consultation with appropriate City Departments, may determine the
procurement method for goods and services that provides the best value to the City. The purchase of goods or
services by the City at a total cost of less than $3,000 may be approved by the applicable department in accordance
with the department’s internal control procedures.
E. PROMPT PAYMENT. All invoices approved for payment by the proper City authorities shall be paid within thirty
(30) calendar days of receipt of goods or services or invoice date, whichever is later, in accordance with the provisions
of Chapter 2251 of the Local Government Code.
The Chief Financial Officer shall establish and maintain proper procedures which will enable the City to take
advantage of all purchase discounts, when possible, except in the instance where payments can be reasonably and
legally delayed in order to maximize the City’s investable cash.
F. RISK MANAGEMENT. The City will aggressively pursue every opportunity to provide for the Public’s and City
employees’ safety and to manage its risks. The goal shall be to minimize the risk of loss of resources through liability
claims with an emphasis on safety programs. All reasonable options will be investigated to finance risks. Such options
may include risk transfer, insurance, and risk retention. Where risk is retained, reserves will be established based upon
actuarial determinations and not be used for purposes other than for financing losses.
G. REPORTING. Summary reports will be prepared showing actual expenditures as compared to the original budget
and prior year expenditures.
V. CAPITAL BUDGET AND PROGRAM
A. PREPARATION. The City’s capital budget will include all capital projects funds and all capital resources. The
budget will be prepared annually on a project basis. The capital budget will be prepared by the Office of Budget and
Strategic Planning with the involvement of responsible departments.
F-6 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements
B. CONTROL. All capital project expenditures must be appropriated in the capital budget. The Chief Financial Officer
must certify the availability of resources before any capital project contract is presented to the City Council for
approval.
C. PROGRAM PLANNING. The capital budget will be taken from the capital improvements project plan for future
years. The planning time frame for the capital improvements project plan should normally be five years, with a
minimum of at least three years. The replacement and maintenance for capital items should also be projected for the
next five years. Future maintenance and operational costs will be considered so that these costs can be included as
appropriate in the annual budget.
D. FINANCING PROGRAMS. Where applicable, assessments, impact fees, pro-rata charges, or other fees should be
used to fund capital projects which have a primary benefit to specific, identifiable property owners.
Recognizing that long-term debt is usually a more expensive financing method, alternative financing sources will be
explored before debt is issued. When debt is issued, it will be used to acquire major assets with expected lives which
equal or exceed the average life of the debt issue.
E. REPORTING. Periodic financial reports will be prepared to enable the Department Directors to manage their capital
budgets and to enable the Office of Budget and Strategic Planning to monitor and control the capital budget as
authorized by the City Manager. Summary capital project status reports will be presented to the City Council monthly.
VI. CAPITAL MAINTENANCE & REPLACEMENT
The City recognizes that deferred maintenance and not anticipating capital replacements increases future capital costs. In
order to address these issues, the City Council has approved a number of policies to address these issues.
A. STREETS CAPITAL MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT. It is the policy of the City to annually provide
significant funding for the Streets Division within the Public Works Department to use for a residential street
maintenance program.
B. BUILDING CAPITAL MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT. It is the policy of the City to annually
provide significant funding for major maintenance on its buildings such as roof air conditioning, flooring and other
replacements.
C. PARKING LOTS AND INTERNAL ROADWAYS. It is the policy of the City to annually provide significant
funding to pay for major maintenance of parking lots and internal roadways.
D. TECHNOLOGY. It is the policy of the City to fund the maintenance and replacement of its personal computers and
network servers. The funding is 10% of the original cost of the equipment and the software. Additionally, funding
for integration solutions and upgrades to the mid-range systems is $90,000 annually.
Major replacements for the computer systems including hardware and software will be anticipated for a five-year
period and included with the capital projects lists presented in the annual budget.
E. FLEET REPLACEMENT. The City has a major investment in its fleet of cars, trucks, tractors, backhoes, and
other equipment. The City will anticipate replacing existing equipment, as necessary and will establish charges that
are assigned to departments to account for the cost of that replacement. The replacement fund may be used to
provide funding for new equipment providing a charge to departments that recovers the initial investment and lost
opportunity costs and maintains the ability of the fund to provide for replacement of all covered equipment.
F. RADIOS, COPIERS, OTHER EQUIPMENT, AND TELEPHONES. The City has a major investment in its
radios, copiers, and telephone equipment. As a part of the on-going infrastructure maintenance and replacement, the
F-7 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements
City has anticipated the useful life of such equipment and established a means of charging the cost of replacement of
that equipment to the various departments in order to recognize the city’s continuing need.
VII. ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, AND FINANCIAL REPORTING
A. ACCOUNTING. The City is solely responsible for the recording and reporting of its financial affairs, both internally
and externally. The Chief Financial Officer is the City’s Chief Fiscal Officer and is responsible for establishing the
structure for the City’s Chart of Accounts and for assuring that procedures are in place to properly record financial
transactions and report the City’s financial position.
B. AUDITING.
1. QUALIFICATIONS OF THE AUDITOR. In conformance with the City’s Charter and according to the

auditor’s report on the City’s financial statements will be completed and filed with the City Secretary within 120
days of the City’s fiscal year end, and the auditor will jointly review the management letter with the City Council
within 30 days of its receipt by the staff.
In conjunction with their review, the Chief Financial Officer shall respond in writing to the City Manager and City
Council regarding the auditor’s Management Letter, addressing the issues contained therein. The Council shall
schedule its formal acceptance of the auditor’s report upon the resolution of any issues resulting from the joint
review.
2. RESPONSIBILITY OF AUDITOR TO CITY COUNCIL. The auditor is retained by and is accountable
directly to the City Council and will have access to direct communication with the City Council if the City Staff is
unresponsive to auditor recommendations or if the auditor considers such communication necessary to fulfill its
legal and professional responsibilities.
3. SELECTION OF AUDITOR. The City will not require a periodic rotation of outside auditors, but will circulate
requests for proposal for audit services at least every five years. Authorization for the City’s annual audit shall

that shall be presented to the Council within 120 calendar days of the City’s fiscal year end. Accuracy and
timeliness of the CAFR are the responsibility of City staff. The CAFR shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP
and shall be presented annually to the Government Finance Officer’s Association (GFOA) for evaluation and
consideration for the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. If City staffing limitations
preclude such timely reporting, the Chief Financial Officer will inform the City Council of the delay and the
reasons therefore.
F-8 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements

plan, monitor, and control the City’s financial affairs. Internal financial reporting objectives are addressed
throughout these policies.
VIII. ASSET MANAGEMENT

depository bank in accordance with the provisions of the current Bank Depository Agreement or in any negotiable
instrument authorized by the City Council under the provisions of the Public Funds Investment Act of 1987 as

An investment report will be provided to the City Council quarterly. This report shall provide both summary and
detailed information on the City’s investment portfolio.
B. CASH MANAGEMENT. The City’s cash flow will be managed to maximize the cash available to invest. Such cash
management will entail the centralization of cash collections, where feasible, including utility bills, building and
related permits and licenses, fines, fees, and other collection offices as appropriate.
Periodic review of cash flow position will be performed to determine performance of cash management and
conformance to investment policies. The underlying theme will be that idle cash will be invested with the intent to 1)
safeguard assets, 2) maintain liquidity, and 3) maximize return. Where legally permitted, pooling of investments will be
done.
C. FIXED ASSETS AND INVENTORY. These assets will be reasonably safeguarded and properly accounted for, and
prudently insured.
A fixed asset of the City shall be defined as a purchased or otherwise acquired piece of equipment, vehicle, furniture,
fixture, capital improvement, addition to existing capital investments, land, buildings or accessioned Library materials
which has an original cost or value of at least $5,000 and a useful life of more than three years . All expenditures
related to specific capital projects are exceptions to the rule. Assets owned by the electric utility will be capitalized in
accordance with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) guidelines. Furthermore, assets owned by either the
water or wastewater utilities will be capitalized in accordance with the National Association of Regulatory Utility
Commissioners (NARUC) guidelines.
The City’s fixed assets shall be reasonably safeguarded and properly accounted for and sufficiently insur ed.
Responsibility for the safeguarding of the City’s fixed assets lies with the department director in whose department the
fixed asset is assigned. The Fiscal Services Department shall maintain the permanent records of the City’s fixed assets
including description, cost, department of responsibility, date of acquisition, depreciation and expected useful life.
D. COMPUTER SYSTEM/DATA SECURITY. The City shall provide security of its computer/network system and
data files through physical and logical security systems that will include, but not limited to, double back-to-back
firewalls and a two-tier spam/virus protection system. The physical location of computer/network systems shall be in
locations inaccessible to unauthorized personnel.
IX. DEBT MANAGEMENT
A. DEBT ISSUANCE. The City will issue debt only for the purpose of acquiring or constructing capital assets for the
general benefit of its citizens and to allow it to fulfill its various missions as a city. Debt may be issued for the
purposes of purchasing land or rights-of-way and/or improvements to land, for construction projects to provide for the
general good, and for capital equipment.
1. GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS (GO’s). GO’s will be used only to fund capital assets of the general
government and are not to be used to fund operating needs of the City. GO’s are backed by the full faith and credit
of the City as well as the ad valorem tax authority of the City, to the extent allowed by law. The term of a bond
F-9 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements
issue will not exceed the useful life of the asset(s) funded by the bond issue and will generally be limited to no
more than twenty (20) years. General obligation bonds must be authorized by a vote of the citizens of the City of
College Station.
2. REVENUE BONDS (RB’s). RB’S will be issued to provide for the capital needs of any activities where the
capital requirements are necessary for continuation or expansion of a service which produces a revenue and for
which the asset may reasonably be expected to provide for a revenue stream to fund the debt service requirements.
The term of the obligation should not exceed the useful life of the asset(s) to be funded by the bond issue and will
generally be limited to no more than twenty (20) years.
3. CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, Contract Obligations, etc. (CO’s). CO’s will be used in order to fund
capital requirements that are not otherwise covered under either revenue bonds or general obligation bonds . Debt
service for CO’s may be either from general revenues or backed by a specific revenue stream or streams or by a
combination of both. Generally CO’s will be used to fund capital assets when GO’s and RB’s are not appropriate
and when authorized under law. The term of the obligation may not exceed the useful life of the asset(s) to be
funded by the proceeds of the debt issue and will generally be limited to no more than ten (10) years, but may
extend to twenty (20) years when the asset is of a nature that its anticipated useful life exceeds 20 years.
B. METHOD OF ISSUANCE AND BIDDING PARAMETERS.
1. METHOD OF SALE. The City will use a competitive bidding process in the sale of bonds unless the nature of
the issue warrants a negotiated bid. In situations where a competitive bidding process is not elected, the City will
publicly present the reasons why, and the City will participate with the financial advisor in the selection of the
underwriter or direct purchaser.
2. BIDDING PARAMETERS. The notice of sale will be carefully constructed so as to ensure the best possible bid
for the City, in light of the existing market conditions and other prevailing factors.
C. ANALYSIS OF FINANCING ALTERNATIVES. Staff will explore alternatives to the issuance of debt for capital
acquisitions and construction projects. These alternatives will include, but not be limited to, 1) grants in aid, 2) use of
reserves, 3) use of current revenues, 4) contributions from developers and others, 5) leases, and 6) impact fees.
D. DISCLOSURE. Full disclosure of operating costs along with capital costs will be made to the bond rating agencies
and other users of financial information. The City staff, with the assistance of financial advisors and bond counsel,
will prepare the necessary materials for presentation to the rating agencies, will aid in the production of Preliminary
Official Statements, and will take responsibility for the accuracy of all financial information released.
E. FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS. The City will maintain procedures to comply with arbitrage rebate and other Federal
requirements.
F. DEBT STRUCTURING. The City will issue bonds for 20 years or less, not to exceed the life of the asset acquired.
The structure should approximate level annual debt service unless operational matters dictate otherwise or if market
conditions indicate potential savings could result from modifying the level payment stream.
Consideration of market factors, such as the tax-exempt qualification, minimum tax alternative, and so forth will be
given during the structuring of long-term debt instruments.
X. FINANCIAL CONDITIONS, RESERVES, AND STABILITY RATIOS
A. OPERATIONAL COVERAGE. (NO OPERATING DEFICITS). The City will maintain an operational coverage
of 1.00, such that current operating revenues will at least equal or exceed current operating expenditures.
F-10 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements
Deferrals, short-term loans, or one-time sources will be avoided as budget balancing techniques. Reserves will be
used only for emergencies or non-recurring expenditures, except when balances can be reduced because their levels
exceed guideline minimums as stated in Paragraph B, following.
B. OPERATING RESERVES/FUND BALANCES
1. The unobligated fund balance in the General Fund should be at least 15% of the annual budgeted General Fund
expenses. This percentage is the equivalent of 55 days expenditures. An additional amount of up to 3.0% should be
maintained for extraordinary items or contingencies. Cash and investments alone should be equivalent to 30 days
of operating expenditures.
2. The working capital (current assets less current liabilities) in the enterprise funds should be maintained at 15% of
total operating expenses or the equivalent of 55 days. Cash and Investments alone should be equivalent to 30 days
of operations.
3. The Hotel Tax Fund fund balance should be at least 15% of the annual budgeted expenditures. Adequate reserves
are essential due to the nature of this revenue source and the reliance organizations have on this revenue source to
maintain ongoing operations.
4. The Internal Service Funds will attain and retain fund balance/working capital balances appropriate for the fund .
(a) Some funds such as Fleet Maintenance and Utility Customer Service need only a minimal working capital
balance in order to meet the needs of the fund.
(b) Other funds-such as the various insurance funds where risk is retained by the City in a self-insurance mode, a
reserve will be established based upon an actuarial determination. Such reserve will be used for no other
purposes than for financing losses under the insurance program.
(c) The Replacement Fund will have a working capital balance that will provide resources to replace covered
equipment when it is necessary to be replaced. The funds will be replenished based on anticipated life of
equipment and adjusted based on changes in the costs the covered equipment.
C. LIABILITIES AND RECEIVABLES. Procedures will be followed to maximize discounts and reduce penalties
offered by creditors. Current liabilities will be paid within 30 days of the invoice date or on receipt of the goods or
services, whichever is later. Accounts Receivable procedures will target collection for a maximum of 30 days from
service, with any receivables aging past 90 days to go to a collection agency. The Chief Financial Officer is authorized
to write-off uncollectible accounts that are delinquent for more than 365 days, if the proper delinquency procedures
have been followed.
D. CAPITAL AND DEBT SERVICE FUNDS.
1. Monies in the capital projects funds will be used within 36 months of receipt. Balances will be used to generate
interest income to offset increases in construction costs or other associated costs. Capital project funds are
intended to be expended.

I-1 General Fund Transfers and Other (Sources) Uses
General Fund Transfers and Other (Sources) Uses
The General Fund has several different types of transfers and other sources and uses of funds as
reported in the bottom sections of the General Fund Fund Summary. This appendix provides the
details within the categories of General & Administrative Transfers, Interfund Transfers, Public
Agency Funding, Consulting Services, Capital Projects and Other.
The General and Administrative (G&A) Transfers are used to reflect the recovery of the costs
associated with the administrative services provided by service departments within the General
Fund to other funds. Administrative services within the General Fund include accounting,
purchasing, technology, budgeting, legal, human resources, etc. These costs are allocated
based on the results of an annual cost allocation plan done in the early part of the budget process
by an outside consulting firm.
The Interfund Transfers section includes both transfers into the General Fund as well as
transfers out of the General Fund to other funds. The transfers into the General Fund are
primarily to reimburse operating expenses that were incurred during the course of business that
may be funded from a different source of revenue. For example, many of the sports tournaments
that are run by the Parks and Recreation Department can be funded with Hotel Tax funds if they
meet the criteria for the use of hotel taxes. There are three SLAs included for the General Fund
Parks and Recreation Department that will be funded from the Hotel Tax Fund. The expenditures
for these items will be incurred in the General Fund, so a transfer is included from the Hotel Tax
Fund to the General Fund. One of the SLAs is for $65,500 to cover the tournament/event
equipment needs. A second in the amount of $10,000 to cover the costs associated with the
Texas Amateur Athletic Federation (TAAF) Games of Texas 2018-19 bid fee. The third SLA in
the amount of $15,000 for additional travel and training that will allow staff to attend additional
conferences and meetings that gives the opportunity meet with and attract new and diverse
events / tournaments to College Station. The transfers out of the General Fund are primarily to
cover expenditures incurred in other funds for purposes such as economic development
agreements where separate funds were set up for ease of tracking purposes. Transfers out also
include the subsidy transferred to the Recreation Fund to cover the recreation programs that are
partially covered by fees collected from the participants. Two SLAs are approved in the budget
for Lincoln Center equipment ($8,500) and amenities replacement ($25,000) for the Recreation
Fund which would increase the subsidy transfer from the General Fund.
The Public Agency Funding section details the agencies that are funded from the General
Fund. These agencies provide services for the citizens of College Station. Each year, the
amount of funding received by each agency depends on the request made by the agency,
Council direction, and the availability of funds.
The Consulting Services section details the consulting firms that represent the various interests
that the Council has determined benefit the citizens. An example is the state legislative
consulting firm that keeps City staff and Council aware of legislation that may impact the City of
College Station.
The Capital Projects section details the projects that are funded with cash from the General
Fund (instead of issuing debt). Depending on the General Fund balance (after meeting the
required reserve) there may be funds available that can be used for one-time purchases – such
as capital projects.
The Other section covers items that are transferred out of the General Fund for purposes not
mentioned above.

Outside Agency Funding
The City funds a number of outside agencies each fiscal year that provide services for the citizens of
College Station. The amount of funding received by each agency depends on Council direction and
the availability of funds. Agencies have been funded from various funds, including: General Fund,
Community Development Fund, Hotel Tax Fund, and Sanitation Fund.
City Council approved a resolution adopting a new Outside Agency Funding Policy in February 2007.
This policy established four categories of Outside Agencies: Contract Partners, Department Budget
Agencies, non-CDBG eligible Agencies, and CDBG eligible Agencies. Contract Partners are agencies
that have been identified based on their economic impact and the community services provided to the
City. The Contract Partner agencies are: the Bryan/College Station Convention and Visitors Bureau
(CVB), The Research Valley Partnership (RVP) and the Arts Council of the Brazos Valley (ACBV).
Department Budget Agencies are Agencies whose work directly supports the goals of a City
Department. Department Budget Agencies include the College Station Noon Lions Club and Keep
Brazos Beautiful (KBB).
Funding in the amount of $350,000 from the General Fund is approved for the RVP in the FY15
Budget. The RVP is an organization established to promote economic development in the area and is
funded by the Cities of College Station and Bryan, and Brazos County. Additionally, $35,000 from the

Funding in the amount of $52,740 is approved in the Sanitation Fund for Keep Brazos Beautiful (KBB).
This includes a new request for funding start-up costs for a Community Garden site in South College

Station and Bryan. The JRFRC reviews all requests for CDBG Funds available for public agencies and
makes recommendations to both cities for agencies funding. A total of $150,373 is for CDBG eligible
