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 2015 – 2016 Approved Budget for the City of College Station.
The budget sets the strategic policy direction for the City and provides the funding to implement that
direction for the year. This budget will allow the staff to continue to meet the needs of our citizens and
visitors as the City continues to experience a sustained period of growth. This shows itself through
continued growth in higher education, through a robust visitor and tourism economy, and all of the
ancillary things this growth brings. While growth continues, there is also a need to maintain and improve
existing infrastructure throughout the City. This budget is a roadmap for addressing the growth and
infrastructure maintenance demands of the City into the future.
Key factors influencing this budget
Continued strength in the higher education sector of the economy
Growth in service demands in areas including Public Safety and Streets/Transportation
Increased tourism and visitor growth to the community
Maintenance and repair of existing facilities and infrastructure
Continued commitment to attracting and retaining a well-qualified, highly regarded workforce
Continuing the commitment to Economic Development efforts in College Station
Continued residential and commercial development throughout the city
Addressing Growth
Providing additional Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Services for citizens and visitors.
Maintaining existing infrastructure including the streets and traffic management systems, electric,
water and wastewater utility systems, parks and recreation facilities, and other city facilities.
Adding and expanding capital infrastructure including streets, electric, water and wastewater
utility systems, parks and recreation facilities, and other city facilities to meet the service
demands that accompany growth.
Attracting and retaining a well-qualified workforce to provide excellent service.
As the City continues to grow, we must respond to that growth in a sustainable and measured manner.
We must be prudent with the limited available resources in an effort to maximize the services provided to
citizens and visitors of College Station.
Budget Summary
The Fiscal Year 2015 – 2016 approved net budget for the City of College Station totals $309,576,087 for
all funds. Of this amount, $219,660,128 is included for the operations and maintenance budget, and
$89,915,959 is included 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 remain positive in the City of College Station. Sales tax revenues have been strong
for the past several years, and property values have continued to increase as well, with new construction
continuing at a strong pace. Growth continues 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. In addition, the Century Square mixed-use development along University Drive is
underway and is expected to include hotels; a conference center; office, living and retail space; as well as
restaurants. And there also continues to be activity in the Bio-Corridor. Multi-family construction continues
to take place around the city as well.
Plans for development continue in the Medical District in the southern part of the City east of Highway 6
and south of Rock Prairie Road. The City Council approved an Infrastructure and Economic
Development Agreement designed to facilitate the installation of primary infrastructure needed to activate
the larger area for private development. 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 hotel rooms under construction in College Station. The multi-purpose synthetic fields in Veterans
Park were completed last year and the fields have been utilized for a variety of events including the
popular 7 on 7 football tournament. The City again hosted the very successful Texas Amateur Athletic
Federation Games of Texas, which attracted thousands of visitors to the region. These 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 redevelopment of Kyle
Field was completed in time for the start of the 2015 football season. Enrollment continues to increase at
Texas A&M University and is estimated to be over 59,000 for the fall semester. Construction of new
buildings and facilities 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 2015 is $7,141,358,749. This is an
increase of 7.31% over last year. This increase in value is due in part to new property values from new
construction of $229,580,610 added to the tax rolls. Existing property values increased by 3.86% over
2015. There is approximately $19 million of assessed value still under review by the Appraisal Review
Board. Once the reviews are complete the final value is projected to be $7.160 billion.
Based on the final property value numbers received – the effective tax rate for FY16 is calculated to be
43.4851 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 47.6121 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.
iv
The FY16 Approved Budget includes a tax rate of 45.25 cents per $100 assessed valuation. This rate is
the same as the tax rate approved for FY15. The approved operations and maintenance portion of the
tax rate is 25.9448 cents. This will provide the necessary property tax revenue needed to support the
approved General Fund budget. The debt service portion of the approved tax rate is 19.3052 cents,
which is the rate necessary to meet the tax supported debt obligations of the City.
The following chart shows the two components of the tax rate and compares last year’s tax rate to this
year’s approved tax rate.
Approved
FY 15 Change FY 16
Debt Service Fund 19.3053 (0.0001) 19.3052
General Fund 25.9447 0.0001 25.9448
45.2500 0.0000 45.2500
Each cent on the tax rate will generate approximately $660,000 in additional property tax revenue.
Changes from Proposed to Approved
During Budget Workshops, direction was given by City Council for additional pay increases in the FY16
Approved Budget in order to begin the implementation of the preliminary findings of the salary survey.
Immediate action was approved to increase the pay scale of sworn positions in the Police Department in
an effort to make those positions competitive in pay with surrounding law enforcement agencies. This is
projected to cost a total of $824,946. Additionally, $641,704 was budgeted for target ed pay increases to
specific positions identified through a complete analysis of the results of the salary survey.
These pay plan increases are funded, in part, through a City Council directed increase to the Electric
Utility Transfer to the General Fund. The transfer was increased from 6% to 6.9%, resulting in an
additional transfer of $1,083,326 to the General Fund.
City Council also provided direction to add funding to the Information Technology Department for the
Open Data Initiative project. Council also approved funding for outside agencies at the amounts
requested.
In addition, several capital improvement projects were added to the approved budget. These projects
were not included in the proposed budget as it had not yet been determined whether they would be part
of a General Bond Authorization in 2015. It was decided by City Council to fund these projects through
Certificates of Obligation and an additional $3,265,000 of budget was appropriated to the Streets Capital
Improvement Projects Fund Budget.
Direction was also provided to include two changes to the FY16 Budget Ordinance and Attachment A.
Compensation
Maintaining a competitive pay and benefit structure allows the City to attract and retain highly regarded,
well-qualified employees who are on the front lines of providing services to the citizens and visitors of
College Station. In 2015, a City-wide salary survey was conducted to determine how the City of College
Station’s compensation and benefits package aligns with the market. Also recognized is the need to stay
competitive with the market in order to attract and retain the best employees.
The approved budget includes adjusting the City’s pay scales by 2% across the board to help retain
competitiveness in the market. This will be the first adjustment to the City pay structure since 2012. This
is in line with the preliminary results of the salary survey. The FY16 Approved Budget also includes a
2.5% pool for performance pay increases for eligible City personnel. The performance pay is designed to
address performance and retain high performers. There are also funds included in the budget for
v
targeted adjustments to specific positions that may need to be adjusted after reviewing the results of the
salary survey. The budgeted pool for these increases is $641,704.
The approved budget also includes targeted pay increases for the sworn positions in the Police
Department in an effort to make those positions competitive in pay with surrounding law enforcement
agencies. This is projected to cost a total of $824,946.
The budget also continues funding for the step plan in the College Station Police Department and the pay
plan in the Fire Department. Continuing the implementation of these programs will allow these
departments to be competitive in hiring and retaining motivated and competent personnel.
The FY16 employee health benefit package will again include one Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
option and one High Deductible option. An increase in employee Health Insurance premiums of 5% is
approved for 2016. Also, there are no changes in the retirement benefit managed by Texas Municipal
Retirement System (TMRS) approved in FY16.
Service Level Increases
On a continual basis, the City looks at ways to streamline and considers organizational changes. This
budget scrubbing is done each year as departments are asked to review current processes and identify
efficiencies and reallocate resources that can result in improved or increased services with minimal or no
cost increase. However, we also recognize that increased growth puts demands on resources and results
in the need for service level increases. Below is a summary of some of the key service level increases
that are included in the approved budget.
Core Services and Infrastructure
Police Department
Additional resources are included in the Police Department budget to keep up with growth in the
community. The budget includes four new positions and associated equipment:
One Recruiting and Training Officer
One Special Investigations Officer
One Communications Operator
One Community Enhancement Police Assistant
These positions will allow the department to focus more resources on public safety as the City
continues to grow.
Fire Department
The approved budget includes six firefighter positions to continue the staffing of a second ladder
truck for the City. These positions are partially funded through the Assistance to Firefighters
Grant, which was awarded to the Fire Department in August 2015. Funding is also included for
the purchase of the ladder truck. This is the second of a multi-year plan to add a new ladder
truck to be located at Station #6 on University Drive.
Funds are also included for the purchase of automatic CPR devices. Funds have also been set
aside for the replacement of the Self Contained Breathing Apparatus for all firefighters in FY
2017.
Public Works
Funds are included in the Public Works approved budget to maintain the City’s infrastructure.
This includes $1,600,000 in increased funding for street repair throughout the City, of which
$1,450,000 is one-time funding. Funds are also included to address maintaining the City’s
facilities. Two years ago a facilities assessment was completed that identified repairs that needed
to be completed over the next several years. This budget includes approximately $1.9 million to
continue addressing the maintenance and repairs identified in the assessment report.
vi
The approved budget also includes an additional Traffic Engineer position as part of the
continued implementation of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) master plan.
Electric Utility
The Electric Utility budget includes funding for an Electric Meter Technician position and a Line
Technician/Troubleman position. These positions are necessary to meet the growing demands of
the utility. Funding is also included for substation painting – an important maintenance activity.
Water Services
The Water Services budget includes the addition of a Crew Leader position and Field Operator
position. This completes 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.
Funds are also included for maintenance activities and new equipment.
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 playground equipment and the
repair and addition of various amenities. Many of these items have been identified in the Parks
Asset Management Plan.
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.
Diverse Growing Economy
Economic Development
The approved budget includes funding for additional economic development efforts in College
Station. This includes additional funding for the City’s Economic Development Division.
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 FY16 totals $89,915,959 for all funds that include
capital projects. This is an increase of approximately $56 million over the capital budget for FY15 and
reflects some significant capital projects scheduled to be addressed this coming year. The appropriations
are intended to provide budget authorization for the contracts that are expected to be brought to Council
for approval in FY16. In some cases, the expenditures related to these contracts may be spread across
multiple fiscal years and, in those cases, the appropriations for the fiscal year would exceed the
anticipated expenditure for the fiscal year. The appropriations on capital projects will carry forward into
subsequent fiscal years.
The Streets Capital budget includes over $33 million in appropriation for street and transportation capital
projects. These include the appropriation for the Lakeway extension through the Medical District. Also
included are the appropriations for critical new capital projects approved to be funded with Certificates of
Obligation including the Greens Prairie/Royder Safety improvements (Greens Prairie Trail – Royder
through FM 2154), the railroad crossing at Deacon, the design of capacity improvements on FM 2818,
and the Holleman Drive South Widening project.
There is also over $12 million in the approved budget for facilities capital projects. This includes the
appropriation for the Library expansion and the design costs for a new police station. The budget also
includes $34 million for electric, water and wastewater capital projects. The Hotel Tax Fund includes $3.7

of the budget is designed to show services provided and the budget resources available.
Included in the 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
(FY14) actual revenues and expenditures, revised FY15 budget revenues and expenditures, FY15 year-
end estimates, FY16 approved base budget, and the total FY16 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 FY16.
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 current 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 FY15 budget prior to developing target budgets for FY16. 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 FY15 budget. Only
budgets for one-time items not anticipated to be completed in FY15 were included in the FY16 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. Department base budgets were not reduced to
balance the budget. The budget was prepared conservatively. Any material changes in services were
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 FY16 budget development process, departments were asked to submit Department
Strategic Plans 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.

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 through September 2015, provided by Planning & Development Services, is 104,459. This is a
54% increase in population since 2000, and a 99% 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 2.16%
growth from 2016 - 2018. 2015 reflects actual through September 2015 (source: Planning and Development Services Department).

1. Building Permits and Development: In 2014, the value of total building permits issued was
approximately $279.5 million. From January through September 2015, 651 single family home
permits, 50 new commercial permits and 7 apartment permits were issued; whereas, 557 single
family home permits, 57 new commercial permits and 28 apartment permits were issued for this
period last year.
From January through September 2015, the City issued permits with a total value of approximately
$216.4 million.Of this amount, $59.7 million in commercial construction was permitted and $156.7
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 Workforce Commission
show an average local unemployment rate of 3.1% through September of 2015. This rate is below the
state average of 4.4% and the national average of 4.9%.
3.Ad Valorem Valuations: The certified taxable assessed values for 2015 are $7,141,358,749. This
represents an increase of $486,757,915 or 7.31% over 2014. Of the increase to assessed values,
$229,580,610, or 3.45%, is due to new value added to the tax rolls, and $257,177,305 or 3.86% 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 2016. 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 for FY16 is 45.25 cents per $100 valuation and did not change
from the FY15 tax rate. The debt service portion of the approved tax rate is 19.3052 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 25.9448 cents.
The approved tax rate will provide the revenue needed to support the approved General Fund
budget.
4.Sales Tax Revenues: Sales tax is the largest single revenue source for the General Fund,
accounting for approximately 40% of General Fund revenues. College Station saw sales tax numbers
decline in FY09 and FY10, and increase in FY11- FY14. The FY15 year-end estimated sales tax
revenue included in the approved budget is projected to increase approximately 8.5% over sales tax
received in FY14 to $26,659,000. In FY16, sales tax revenue is projected to grow by 3.5% or
$933,000 over FY15 revenues to $27,592,000. 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 more 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 FY16 approved rate to the current rates of cities with a population from
75,000 to 125,000.
Economic Conditions
Economic conditions remain positive in the City of College Station. Sales tax revenues have been strong
for the past several years, and property values have continued to increase as well with new construction
continuing at a strong pace. Growth continues throughout the City. In the northern part of the City,
construction continues along the University Drive Corridor with the construction of mixed us e
developments including Northpoint Crossing and the upcoming redevelopment of the Chimney Hill
shopping center. In addition, the Century Square mixed-use development along University Drive is
underway and is expected to include hotels; a conference center; office, living and retail space; as well as
restaurants. And there also continues to be activity in the Bio-Corridor. Multi-family construction continues
to take place around the city as well.
Plans for development continue in the Medical District in the southern part of the City east of Highway 6
and south of Rock Prairie Road. The City Council approved an Infrastructure and Economic
Development Agreement designed to facilitate the installation of primary infrastructure needed to activate
College Station continues to have one of the lowest tax rates among
surveyed Texas cities with a population of 75,000 to 125,000.

the larger area for private development. 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 hotel rooms under construction in College Station. The multi-purpose synthetic fields in Veterans
Park were completed last year and the fields have been utilized for a variety of events including the
popular 7 on 7 football tournament. The City again hosted the very successful Texas Amateur Athletic
Federation Games of Texas, which attracted thousands of visitors to the region. These 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 redevelopment of Kyle
Field was completed in time for the start of the 2015 football season. Enrollment continues to increase at
Texas A&M University and is estimated to be over 59,000 for the fall semester. Construction of new
buildings and facilities 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.
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 will be
reviewed with Council.
Revenues and expenditures will be monitored closely in FY16 to ensure any unexpected decreases in
revenues or increases in expenditures can be proactively addressed. Although the economy has been
relatively strong, the City will continue to be mindful of the impact of future economic downturns and will
proactively address budgetary concerns.
Utility Rates
The approved budget does not include rate increases for any of the utilities.
Positions in the FY16 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 61% of total City operating and maintenance expenditures. The
FY16 Approved Budget, including SLAs, funds 961.75 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions. This is a net
increase of 26 positions over the revised FY15 position count.
The FY16 approved base budget reflects the impact of the ever-growing demands on the City’s
departments. Two positions were identified as needs in the FY15 budget and were included in the FY16
base budget. The first position is for the addition of a Finance Director within Fiscal Services. The second
position is for the addition of one Engineer within Planning and Development Services.
The FY16 Approved Budget includes funding for 26 new positions. Sixteen and a half of these positions
are in the General Fund. This includes the addition of four new positions in the Police Department. These
positions are for one Police Assistant/Civilian Training Coordinator, one Police Assistant, one Recruiting
and Training Police Officer, and one Communications Operator. Approved position additions in the Fire
Department include six Firefighter positions for the ladder truck staffing at Fire Station 6. The funding for
9
these positions is made possible due to the Fire Department receiving the Assistance to Firefighters
Grant (AFG). One Engineer position was approved in the Traffic Engineering Division of Public Works. In
the Parks and Recreation Department, conversion of the part-time Senior Service Coordinator to full-time
was approved. A part-time GIS technician is approved in Planning and Development Services. In the
Information Technology Department, the addition of one Database Administrator was approved. Also
approved is the addition of one Accounts Payable Specialist and one Staff Accountant in the Fiscal
Services Department. In Community Services, 50% of a staff assistant position and 100% of one Code
Enforcement Officer, previously funded from the Community Development Fund, are approved to be
moved to the General Fund.
In the Northgate Parking Fund, a conversion of several part-time non-benefitted District Specialist
positions to one full-time benefitted District Coordinator position was approved.
In the Electric Fund, two positions were approved. These positions are an Electrical Meters Technician
and a Line Technician/Troubleman. In the Water Fund, one GIS Analyst, one Water Systems Operator,
and the conversion of a part-time non-benefitted Environmental Technician to a full-time position were
approved. A Wastewater Systems Operator was also approved in the Wastewater Fund, as well as one
Staff Assistant. Two Route Managers were approved in the Sanitation Fund. In the Insurance Funds, a
Security/Safety Coordinator will be split between the Property Casualty Fund and Worker’s Compensation
Fund. A Senior Customer Service Representative was approved in the Utility Customer Service Fund
and an Administrative Support Specialist was 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 51.5 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 FY16 Approved Budget includes several changes from the FY16 Proposed Budget. These changes
were approved by City Council and incorporated into the FY16 Approved Budget.
Direction was given by City Council to provide funding for additional pay increases in the FY16 Approved
Budget to begin the implementation of the preliminary findings of the salary survey. City Council provided
direction for an immediate scale increase to the pay scale of sworn positions in the Police Department at
a projected to cost a total of $824,946. It required a net increase of $541,622 to the proposed Police
Department budget. City Council further directed an increase to the pay plan contingency budget from
$100,000 to $641,704 in order to fund recommended salary increases related to the pending results of
the salary survey. The total increase to the General Fund budget was $1,083,326.
The increase in the Police Department pay plan and pay plan contingency budget is funded through a
Council directed increase to the Electric Utility Transfer to the General Fund. The FY16 Approved budget
increases this transfer from the maximum 6% of operating revenues to a maximum of 6.9% of operating
revenues. This will result in an additional transfer of $1,083,326. This additional appropriation will be
transferred to the General Fund to pay for additional salaries and benefits associated with the
implementation of the results of the salary survey. The change to the Electric Transfer to the General
Fund resulted in a revision to section III. B. 6. of the Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements (Appendix
F), changing the in-lieu-of-franchise fee not to exceed 6.9%.
City Council also provided direction to add $28,000 ($4,000 one-time, and $24,000 recurring) to the IT
budget in the General Fund for the Open Data Initiative project. This will provide funds for an initial rollout
of this project later in FY16.
Further direction was provided to fund outside agencies at the amounts requested. The amounts in the
Outside Agency Contingency in the Sanitation Fund ($3,950) and the Hotel Tax Fund ($748,061) were
moved to the appropriate outside agency line items in the respective budgets.
The Capital Improvement Program portion of the FY16 Approved Budget has been revised to include a
number of additional capital transportation projects. Several projects were not included in the proposed
budget as the determination as to whether or not these projects would be included on a 2015 General
Obligation Bond Authorization had not been finalized when the proposed budget was developed. In
accordance with the direction provided by Council on August 13, 2015, it is anticipated that these projects
will be funded with Certificates of Obligation over the next five fiscal years. Therefore, the capital plan
included in the FY16 Approved Budget has been updated to reflect the addition of these projects. The
addition of these projects will add an additional $3,265,000 in FY16 budget appropriation to the Streets
Capital Improvement Projects Fund Budget.
City Council also gave direction for two changes to be made to the Budget Ordinance and Attachment A.
The first change is the addition of the Computer Aided Dispatch/Records Management System
(CAD/RMS) to Part 6 on page A2 of the ordinance. In addition, Attachment A was revised to include
$450,000 for the ITS Master Plan.
Compensation and Benefits Changes
Maintaining a competitive pay and benefit structure allows the City to attract and retain highly regarded,
well-qualified employees who are on the front lines of providing services to the citizens and visitors of
College Station. In 2015, a City-wide salary survey was conducted to determine how the City of College
Station’s compensation and benefits package aligns with the market. Also recognized is the need to stay
competitive with the market in order to attract and retain the best employees.
11
The approved budget includes adjusting the City’s pay scales by 2% across the board to help retain
competitiveness in the market. This will be the first adjustment to the City pay structure since 2012. This
proposal is in line with the preliminary results of the salary survey. The FY16 Approved Budget also
includes a 2.5% pool for performance pay increases for eligible City personnel. The performance pay is
designed to address performance and retain high performers. There are also funds included in the
budget for targeted adjustments to specific positions that may need to be adjusted after reviewing the
results of the salary survey. The budgeted pool for these increases is $641,704.
The approved budget also includes targeted pay increases for the sworn positions in the Police
Department to make those positions competitive in pay with surrounding law enforcement agencies. This
is projected to cost a total of $824,946.
The budget also continues funding for the step plan in the College Station Police Department, and the
pay plan in the Fire Department. Continuing the implementation of these programs will allow these
departments to be competitive in hiring and retaining motivated and competent personnel.
The FY16 employee health benefit package will again include one Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
option and one High Deductible option. An increase in employee Health Insurance premiums of 5% is
approved for 2016. Also, there are no changes in the retirement benefit managed by Texas Municipal
Retirement System (TMRS) approved in FY16.
Capital Projects
The approved Capital Improvements Project Budget for FY16 totals $89,915,959 for all funds that include
capital projects. This is an increase of approximately $56 million over the capital budget for FY15 and
reflects some significant capital projects scheduled to be addressed this coming year. The appropriations
are intended to provide budget authorization for the contracts that are expected to be brought to Council
for approval in FY16. In some cases, the expenditures related to these contracts may be spread across
multiple fiscal years and, in those cases, the appropriations for the fiscal year would exceed the
anticipated expenditure for the fiscal year. The appropriations on capital projects will carry forward into
subsequent fiscal years.
The Streets Capital budget includes over $33 million in appropriation for street and transportation capital
projects. These include the appropriation for the Lakeway extension through the Medical District. Also
included are the appropriations for critical new capital projects approved to be funded with certificates of
obligation including the Greens Prairie/Royder Safety improvements (Greens Prairie Trail – Royder
through FM 2154), the railroad crossing at Deacon, the design of capacity improvements on FM 2818,
and the Holleman Dr South Widening project.
There is also over $12 million in the approved budget for Facilities capital projects. This includes the
appropriation for the Library expansion and the design costs for a new police station. The budget also
includes $34 million for electric, water and wastewater capital projects. The Hotel Tax Fund includes $3.7
million in capital appropriations for the next phase of improvements at Veterans Park, which will include
two additional synthetic fields as well as improvements and amenities to be added to the existing athletic
fields in the park.
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, the Utility funds, and the Hotel Tax Fund. Associated operating and maintenance
costs needed for the projects that will be operational in FY16 have been included in the approved budget.
12
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.
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 and the Efficiency Time
Payment Fee 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.
13
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; 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 both the budgets and
financial statements are prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting.
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 the budgets are
prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of
accounting. The financial statements for internal service funds are prepared using the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.

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.
Maintaining a competitive pay and benefit
structure is one of the central goals of the City.
The FY16 Approved Budget has appropriated funds in the amount of $824,946 for targeted pay increases
for sworn positions in the Police Department. This increase brings the pay and benefit structure of the
Police Department into competitive range with surrounding law enforcement agencies.
The Police Department FY16 Approved Budget includes eleven service level adjustments (SLAs). Four of
the eleven SLAs requested the addition of support positions to meet the ever-growing demands of the
City. The first SLA requested the addition of one Recruiting & Training Officer to help manage the hiring
process for all sworn and civilian employees. The new officer will also provide training for new and
existing employees, as well as provide additional research capacity and curriculum development. The
second SLA requested the addition of one Special Investigations Officer, who will provide assistance to
the detective unit. The third SLA requested one Communications Operator to provide additional support
for call intake and radio dispatch. The fourth SLA requested the addition of one Community
Enhancement Police Assistant. The function of this position will be to increase responsiveness to
neighborhood and community issues, as well as monitor community events and programs. A fifth SLA
also addressed personnel in the department and requested a position upgrade for an Animal Control
Officer position to an Animal Control Supervisor position. In FY12, the Animal Control Supervisor was
upgraded to Support Services Manager. The Support Services Manager’s responsibilities have grown, as
well as the number of current Animal Control Officers. This upgrade will shift the supervision
responsibilities from the Support Services Manager to the Animal Control Supervisor.
Additional SLAs address increasing costs in existing service areas and equipment needs. The sixth SLA
was a budget maintenance request to cover costs of inflation and increases in usage and maintenance.
A seventh SLA is for the increase of overtime budget in the department. Previously, officers could accrue
comp time when working on holidays. However, due to department demands, several were unable to
utilize their accrued comp time. This SLA changes the policy to pay officers overtime pay on holidays
worked. An eighth SLA requested the addition of one CID vehicle to the police fleet. The total number of
fleet vehicles in Criminal Investigations Division is inadequate to accommodate the demands of the
division.
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.

The largest item in the above requests was for the purchase of 65 additional TASER devices with
assurance plans for $130,917. In 2009, the Police Department introduced a TASER pilot program. The
program was very successful and over the years, the department has incrementally expanded this
program. This SLA will equip officers with the TASER device, as well as replace units in need of
replacement.
In addition to the above requests, the Police Department requested funds for a Patrol Rifle SLA and a
Patrol Shotgun SLA. The department-owned rifles and shotguns are outdated and no longer meet the
Department’s minimum standard. Combined, these SLAs total $48,000.
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.
The Fire Department approved FY16 budget includes 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.
The first SLA allocates $1,868,595 for the addition of six firefighters and a ladder truck at Fire Station 6.
The SLA includes $1,400,000 for the purchase of a ladder truck and the remaining $468,595 is for the
costs related to the addition of six firefighters. 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
and this SLA is year two of three in the staffing of Station 6. City of College Station was awarded a grant
with the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program to fund the addition of six firefighters beginning in
FY16. The primary goal of the AFG program is to meet the firefighting and emergency response needs of
fire departments.
A second SLA in the amount of $51,700 was approved for Distance Learning for Fire Stations. Distance
learning will allow the department to train its members that are spread out geographically within the City.
Fire Department personnel require more than 8,264 training hours annually to maintain more than 756
certifications. This SLA will provide the equipment needed to set up distance learning sites and will
improve training capabilities and increase department communications to on-duty members as well as
reduce the times Fire and EMS units leave assigned Fire districts for training events.
The third SLA, in the amount of $122,200, is for the purchase of seven automatic CPR devices. This will
place devices on all EMS units in the City. Effective chest compressions deliver vital oxygen to the brain
and can prime the heart for successful delivery of electrical shock. The delivery of uninterrupted
compressions at a consistent rate and depth facilitate better patient care and improve a patient’s chance
for a successful outcome.
Also included in the City’s FY16 budget is a $1,300,000 transfer from General Fund to Equipment
Replacement Fund to be used for the total replacement of the Fire Department’s Self Controlled
Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). This will be a pivotal year in the City’s SCBA program because many of the

air bottles are approaching the end of service life requirements. The purchase of the SCBAs is anticipated
to take place in FY17.
Public Works Department
The Public Works Department consists of the following divisions: Administration, Traffic Engineering,
Facilities Maintenance, Capital Projects, Street Maintenance, Traffic Signs & Markings, Landscape &
Irrigation Maintenance, and Traffic Signals. 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. Two SLAs were approved in this division. The first SLA is for $10,000 for costs associated
with the American Public Works Association (APWA) reaccreditation site visit. A second SLA in the
amount of $32,500 is to fund costs associated with the recently implemented Environmental Compliance
Initiative. The department is subject to several local, state, and federal regulations addressing the
handling, storage, and disposal of items such as petroleum storage tanks, containment areas, fluorescent
bulbs, used oil, contaminated absorbent, used millings, street sweepings, waste paint, and other regularly
used supplies. This SLA will fund ongoing compliance assessments and provide training for Public Works
employees accordingly.
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 FY16 budget
contains an SLA for $103,201 to fund the operations and maintenance costs related to the Intelligent
Transportation System (ITS) Master Plan. In 2013, the ITS Master Plan was developed in order to provide
an evaluation of the Traffic Division and identify any deficiencies in the utilized technology such as signal
controllers and the central system software that are at the end of their useful lives. This SLA is for the
addition of a Traffic Engineer that will increase the ability of staff to respond to operational and
maintenance issues as soon as they occur, react to congestion issues in real-time, and monitor the
transportation network holistically. A second SLA is for Intersection Safety Studies in the amount of
$25,000. These funds will be used to acquire professional services (engineer/survey) or data collection
services necessary to evaluate Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Device (TMUTCD) warrants at
intersections within the City of College Station. Due to steady population growth, Traffic Engineering
receives requests for all-way stops and traffic signals at various intersections throughout the city.
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. An SLA in
the amount of $614,000 was approved to address a number of the corrective repairs that have been
identified. Funds were also budgeted in FY15 to address corrective issues identified and the FY16 funds
will continue the repairs needed. A second SLA was approved for $50,000 for a Facilities Maintenance
Space Needs Feasibility Study in order to identify the appropriate space needs for the division, including
office space, inventory storage space as well as staff vehicle and service vehicle parking space needs.
The Capital Projects Division is responsible for the administration of the City’s capital improvement
plan. This includes the management of projects funded through 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.
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 Traffic 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 2015 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 FY16 budget for the
Division’s pavement maintenance and rehabilitation plan. The square feet of asphalt failure repairs for
FY15 is siginficantly lower than than FY14 due to historic winter and spring precipitation, increase in
contracted overlays, and limited asphalt availability from the supplier, all of which prevented repairs.
One SLA is included in the approved budget for the Streets Maintenance Division requesting $1,600,000
to continue the rehabilitation and upgrade of streets due to increased traffic pressure. Projects are
selected after a review of data that includes overall road condition, increased traffic and importance as a
conduit for traffic through the community.
The Landscape and Irrigation Maintenance Division is responsible for the city-wide landscape
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. A $64,415 SLA was
approved for maintenance of the irrigation infrastructure.
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. An SLA in the amount of $50,000 was approved for a
Traffic Signs & Markings maintenance plan implementation which will begin the conversion of major
thoroughfares’ long-line roadway markings from paint to a more durable long-lasting thermoplastic
material. The second SLA provides $50,000 for the Texas Avenue Retiming project. This project will allow
traffic data to be collected, entered into a simulator, analyzed and, in the end, will implement new traffic
signal timings. It has been six years since Texas Avenue has been retimed. This corridor is comprised of
twelve signalized intersections. Retiming signals is beneficial for motorists by reducing vehicle stops and
delays, saving both time and fuel consumption.
Parks and Recreation Department
The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) is responsible for College Station park facilities and
recreational programs. In prior years, the PARD budget was split between the Recreation Fund and the
General Fund. However, the Recreation Fund was moved back into the General Fund and reflected as
Recreation Programs in FY15. Recreation Programs 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.

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 fourteen approved SLAs, twelve of which reflect one-time
additions to the budget in FY16 that will not carry forward to future years. The first and second SLAs
allocate a combined one-time expense of $538,400 for the repairs to various park structures, such as
bridges, dugouts, fences, irrigation systems, trails, etc., as well as the purchase of various playground
equipment and court resurfacing needs identified in the Parks Asset Management Plan. The third and
fourth SLAs are for repairs and maintenance on park parking lots and lights ($34,000) and facility lighting
($80,000). The fifth SLA allocates funds for the purchase of various park amenities, such as picnic
tables, BBQ grills, drinking fountains, etc. The cost for this SLA is $97,600. The sixth and seventh SLAs
are for the purchase of a Kromer No Ramp Trailer ($13,500) and Bobcat Skidsteer attachments ($10,000)
to expand the capability of Park’s existing skidsteer. The eighth and ninth SLAs are the only recurring
budget SLAs and are for an increase in O&M budget for Parks maintenance on the athletic fields, as well
as an increase to budget for uniforms and safety boots. The total recurring impact to budget of these
costs is $22,500. The tenth Park SLA is for $45,000 and is for the purchase of baseball scoreboards at
Brian Bachmann and Wayne Smith Parks. Fifty percent ($22,500) of this SLA will be funded by the Hotel
Tax Fund.
In addition to the baseball scoreboards SLA, four additional SLAs 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 $50,000, is for bid fulfillments for the U.S. Soccer President Cup and the ASA /
USA 16U National Championship. The second of these SLAs is for $10,000 to host the TRAPS Central
Region Workshop. The third SLA is for $25,000 to upgrade the kiosk located at the Veterans Park
Memorial. A fourth SLA is also for Veterans Park and is for $30,000 for the purchase of a Connectivity
Speaker System.
Recreation Programs:
Each program within Recreation Programs has a
fully costed budget, which not only includes
revenue and direct costs, but also includes indirect
administrative costs, field costs, and General and
Administrative transfers.
The Aquatics Division supports three City pools,
the splash pad at the Lincoln Center, swim
lessons, water fitness, and the swim team.
The PARD Recreation Programs budget includes
three SLAs, which will increase the budget by
$257,423. The first of these SLAs is for repairs
needed at Cindy Hallaran Pool and Adamson
Lagoon. The second SLA is for the conversion of

the Senior Services Coordinator from part-time to full-time. The third Recreation Programs SLA is for
upgrades and renovations to the Southwood Community Center.
The Sports Division includes programs such as Adult Softball, Adult Volleyball, Youth Basketball, Youth
Football, Youth Volleyball, Adult Kickball, Challenger Sports, Tennis, Ultimate Frisbee 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. The Lincoln Center is a community/recreation center that provides
positive programming and serves as a satellite center for social services.
Larry J. Ringer Library
The Larry J. Ringer Library facility is
overseen by the City’s Parks and Recreation
Department. This facility is operated in
collaboration with City of Bryan, which
provides staffing for the College Station
facility. The graph to the right illustrates the
circulation of the College Station Library over
the last several years. The Library FY16
Approved Budget is $1,101,851 and includes
an increase to the capital budget for library
books from $40,000 in FY15 to $44,650 in
FY16. Library circulation has increased
significantly in FY16, partially due to the
incorporation of figures from online circulation.
Planning and Development Services
Department
The Planning and Development Services Department provides oversight for development planning and
review and inspection of the built environment within the City of College Station. Planning and
Development Services consists of the following divisions: Administration; Civil Engineering; Development
Services – Building; Development Coordination; Planning; Greenways; and GIS Mapping.
The Planning and Development Services Department works with citizens and other City departments to
ensure City development in a manner consistent with policies established by Council. Planning and
Development Services continues to identify and implement opportunities for streamlining processes within
the department.
Four SLAs are included in the FY16 approved budget. The first SLA is the addition of a part-time non-
benefited Geographic Information System (GIS) technician to assist in the input of data into development-
related GIS layers maintained by the department. This position will allow for increased timeliness of
information and greater quality control of development data to be used in land development analysis and
decision-making. A second SLA was approved to provide funding needed to respond to annexation
petitions or proactively annex property under the exempt status. A FY15 amendment to The Oil and Gas
Ordinance adopted a requirement for Contract Inspection and the third SLA was approved for costs
related to these required oil and gas contract inspections. Contract inspections will provide additional
expertise and specialty equipment specific to the oil and gas industry. The City will contract the inspection
and the Oil and Gas Operators would pay the related fee with each permit, including the annual renewal
permit. The fourth SLA is 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.

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 were approved for FY16. The first SLA, in the amount of $10,000, will address a safety issue by
providing funding for radio tower maintenance and inspection. A second SLA, in the amount of $42,061,
will fund a Database Administrator position for 1/2 of the fiscal year. Currently IT is conducting a 6-month
pilot program to determine whether this function can be outsourced or whether the position is needed.
Thus, the SLA is submitted for only half of the year. The third SLA would provide funding for a hot
standby firewall, which would decrease time needed to have a new firewall online after a failure. The cost
for the firewall consists of a one-time expenditure of $17,000 and $2,500 in recurring maintenance costs.
The fourth SLA is for a fiber management tool to provide software and services to automate the mapping
of fiber optic networks in the City. One-time costs for this SLA are $30,760, combined with $4,200 in
recurring maintenance costs. The fifth SLA provides funding for a one-time expense of $60,000 for an
edge switch consolidation that will replace multiple network edge switches at four locations with chassis
based switches.
City Council requested that a sixth SLA be included in the FY16 Approved Budget. Budget in the amount
of $28,000 is included to provide funding to develop an open data portal and begin populating relevant
data in a format that is useful and engaging.
Fiscal Services Department
The Fiscal Services Department provides fiscal administration, accounting operations, treasury,
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 FY16 Approved Budget for Fiscal Services includes five SLAs. The first SLA, in the amount of
$75,735, is for the addition of one Staff Accountant position in the Budget and Financial Reporting
Division. This position is needed to address increased workloads and to ensure that all utility assets are
properly accounted for during and after the implementation of the new work order system. The second
SLA, in the amount of $43,245, is for the addition of an Accounts Payable Specialist in the Accounting
Operations Division. This position is needed to ensure that daily tasks can be accomplished and proper
internal controls in the review of accounts payable transactions can be maintained. The third SLA is a
continuation of funding for the ERP Process Documentation SLA that was partially funded in FY15. This
SLA, in the amount of $50,000, is for contract services that will be utilized to assist with documenting new
processes, procedures and controls, as well as assistance with document retention. The fourth SLA
provides $19,150 in recurring funds for the education and training of employees with regard to the
utilization of the City’s new financial software, as well as ongoing staff development training. The fifth SLA
is for enhancement to the Municipal Court front entrance. This SLA would provide $6,800 in funding for
directional signage to the building, as well as seating for visitors.
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.
23
The City Secretary Division is responsible for elections, records management, City Council support and
other activities.
The Internal Auditor Division conducts independent financial and performance audits to provide City
Council and the Mayor with objective information to assist in determining whether governmental
operations are adequately controlled and to assure that a high degree of public accountability is
maintained.
The City Manager Division is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the City, making
recommendations to the City Council, and providing short and long-term direction to the organization.
The Economic Development Division is included as part of the FY16 Approved Budget. For several
years Economic Development was a function within City Manager’s Office. One SLA was approved to
provide funding for a Retail Economic Development Plan and Recruitment.
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.
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 FY15, the Neighborhood Services
division merged into the Public Communications division. Neighborhood Services maintains collaborative
partnerships among neighborhoods, community organizations and the City. There are three SLAs
approved for FY16 for a Citizens’ Survey, and Media Communications and Crisis Communications
training.
The Community Services Division was created in FY15 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. An SLA was
approved for change in funding for a staff assistant to align with the change in job responsibilities .
Funding for this position was previously split between the General Fund and Community Development
Fund. This SLA moved 100% of funding for this position to the General Fund. There are currently two
Code Enforcement Officers funded with Community Developm ent funds, which limits the officers’
activities to income-eligible areas only. A second SLA was approved to move funding to the General Fund
for one officer which will allow one Code Enforcement Officer flexibility to work commercial areas, parking
enforcement and assist in other residential areas.
The Human Resources Division consists of Human Resources and Risk Management (which is funded
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 FY16 Approved Budget includes three
SLAs. The first SLA is for $12,895 for supplies and costs for the Safety/Security Position that is will be
shared between the Property Casualty and Worker’s Compensation Funds. The second SLA is for
$30,000 for temporary administrative support for HR staff that is focusing on ERP System Replacement
project continuation. The third SLA is for $16,500 and is for funding additional employee recognition
through events and programs.
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 $1,211,753 for public
agency funding, $5,000 for consulting services and $80,000 for other miscellaneous items. In addition, an
SLA in the amount of $195,000 is included for the projected costs associated with leasing off-site office
space. It is anticipated that leased space will be needed for Human Resources and the Police
Department Recruiting and Training division in order to address City space needs. Also included in the
approved budget is $250,000 for contingency.
24
Also included in the General Fund budget is a $2,136,650 transfer for several projects for existing City
facilities. The projects are necessary due to address compliance and corrective maintenance needs.
These projects are being funded with one-time General Funds that will be transferred to the General
Government CIP Fund. The first of these projects is for the replacement, containment repair, and cleaning
of existing above-ground storage tanks. The second of these projects is the addition of a tipping structure
that will be used for street sweeping containment. The third project in this group is for corrective
maintenance on the Police Department building. The funds will be used to address deficiencies with the
HVAC system and will be used to replace the roof. Also included in the FY16 budget is a transfer of
$200,000 to be used for the conceptual planning/design of a community center. The funding for this
planning/design will come from General Funds that will be transferred to the General Government CIP
Fund. An additional $200,000 is projected to be transferred in FY17 for this effort.
In addition, a $1,300,000 transfer from the General Fund to the Equipment Replacement Fund is included
in the FY16 budget. These funds will be used for the replacement of the Fire Department’s Self Controlled
Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). The purchase of the SCBAs is anticipated to take place in FY17.
Also included is a $68,094 transfer from the General Fund to the General Government CIP Fund for a
portion of the budget needed for implementation of the public safety CAD/RMS Replacement program.
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 19.3052 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 were approved to be transferred
into the Economic Development Fund in FY16. In addition, there is a one-time $500,000 transfer from
General Fund to cover economic development incentives to be determined. Expenditures in the amount
of $786,839 were approved in this fund in FY16 for economic development cash assistance incentives.
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 FY16 total $6,673. Approved expenditures in FY16 total
$11,160, of which $7,000 is attributed to an SLA that will fund increased TxDOT batch inquiries and
postage. The base budgeted amount of $4,160 will be used to interface court system software with
Texas Department of Transportation and printing and distribution of collection notices. The Efficiency
Time Payment Fee Fund summary is located in the Governmental Funds section of this book.
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 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 intended to construct a convention center on the purchased
property and the property was sold 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, were transferred to the Hotel Tax Fund.
The Chimney Hill Fund was closed in FY15.
25
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
of electric transmission lines, 7 electrical substations, and over 461 miles of overhead and underground
electric distribution lines.
Five Service Level Adjustments (SLAs) are included in the FY16 Approved Budget. The first of these
SLAs is for a consultant to identify phasing on all circuits that use ERCOT phasing. These funds,
estimated at $60,000, will be used to accurately phase substation circuits and radial lines in a manner
that will enable it to correct the engineering analysis model that is currently used. This will allow
Operations to be able to more accurately define outages when they happen and should result in reduced
outage times for customers. This will also aid in system modeling by allowing more proactive identification
of load issues and their locations, identifying unbalanced loads and where those loads can be moved,
and assisting in planning for the future. A second SLA, in the amount of $185,000, is included in the
budget for the painting of several of the City’s substations. Substation equipment at the Greens Prairie,
Post Oak, Switch Station, and Southwood Valley electric substation sites was last painted in September
of 1999. It was approved to paint equipment at these substations using a flow coat method to protect the
surface metal from rust and to help with oil cooling. This painting will also provide better protection to the
aging substation equipment exposed to the elements on a continual basis and will improve the aesthetics
of these facilities. The third SLA included in the Electric Fund’s budget is for a third party compliance
audit. The Electric Utility is mandated to undergo periodic standard/requirement audits. It is industry best
practice to periodically have a third party consultant perform a compliance audit assessment on an entity
as an aid to maintaining an effective internal compliance program. This SLA, estimated at $50,000, is for
the completion of this assessment.
Also included in the approved budget are two staffing SLAs. The first of these is for the addition of a
Meter Technician position. The position is needed due to the growth and complexity of the electric system
as well as the additional compliance requirements by various regulatory agencies. The second staffing
related SLA is for the addition of a Line Technician/Troubleman position. The Electric utility currently
operates with one Troubleman position. This person is the first responder to trouble calls during working
hours to address service and power issues throughout the City. This position will help the utility address
the growing needs of the City by providing better response time to customer calls and minimizing the
inefficiencies of pulling crews off of construction projects in order to handle trouble calls. This SLA also
includes the addition of a vehicle and necessary equipment.
No rate increase was included for the Electric Fund in FY16.
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.
Five SLA requests are included for the Water Fund in the FY16 budget. The first SLA, in the amount of
$151,155 is for the addition of a field operator position and crew leader position. This is the second year
of a two-year plan to add an additional crew. As part of this plan, two field operator positions were added
in FY15. 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. The second SLA, in the amount of
$130,159, is for the rehabilitation of a transfer pump at Sandy Point Pump Station. This proposal is to
remove the motor and have it serviced by a qualified motor shop and to remove the pump from the clear
well for disassembly and inspection. At that point, a decision will be made as to what components should
be replaced or if it is more judicious to replace the entire pump. A third SLA is for the purchase of a
vacuum excavator/locator. This piece of equipment is a smaller, more portable vacuum excavation rig that
26
will assist with the identification and isolation of conflicting utilities and will allow excavations to be
performed with less risk of damage when compared to traditional excavation equipment. The estimated
cost related to the purchase of this piece of equipment is $52,823. The fourth SLA is for the conversion of
a part-time non-benefitted Environmental Technician position to a full-time benefitted position. The growth
of the City along with the addition of new programs has added increased demands to the workload. This
conversion of this position will better enable the department to meet these demands. The final SLA in the
Water Fund is for the repair of the Well #3 Cable Vault for an estimated $20,000. The existing in-ground
cable vault at well #3 is sinking. This project is for the removal and replacement of the existing vault,
conduit and cables going from the motor control center to the well and pump. In addition, the vault will be
moved and the bottom stabilized to prevent this from recurring.
No rate increase was included for the Water Fund in FY16.
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 FY16 Approved Budget includes seven SLAs in the Wastewater Fund. The first of these SLAs is for
the addition of a Staff Assistant position. This position will provide administrative support with a variety of
departmental functions such as payroll and accounting related functions. The second SLA is for the
addition of a Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator position. The additional operator is needed to address
all of the additional work tasks associated with the continued expansion of the wastewater system,
including new lift stations and the reclaimed water system. The third SLA, in the amount of $50,000, is for
the purchase of aeration system stones which are used in the fine bubble aeration system currently
utilized within all of the wastewater treatment plant aeration basins. These stones are an important part of
the wastewater treatment process, as they provide the efficient distribution of oxygen to maintain healthy
bacteria populations needed to treat raw wastewater. The fourth SLA is for funding to collect and analyze
wastewater samples from multiple locations within the two City wastewater treatment plants. Collection
and analysis of these samples will allow the department to better understand the nutrient concentrations,
specifically nitrogen and phosphorus levels, as they change throughout the treatment process. This data
will later be used to design the expected nutrient removal systems for future regulatory compliance. The
estimated cost for this program is $10,000. The fifth SLA is for the purchase of a tow behind sewer jetting
machine. This machine, the cost of which is estimated at $70,030, is towable, light and can be
maneuvered in tight spaces, especially rear easements where much of the residential sewer
infrastructure is located. The sixth SLA in the Wastewater Fund is for the purchase of an all-terrain vehicle
(gator) that will be used for inspections of remote utility easements that are not accessible by full-sized
vehicle. The final approved Wastewater Fund SLA is for the addition of a utility bed to a ¾ ton service
truck that is being purchased to replace an existing van. The van has met its useful life and is due for
replacement. This SLA is for the additional cost of upgrading the truck from a standard truck bed to a
utility bed (estimated at $10,000).
No rate increase was included for the Wastewater Fund in FY16.
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 FY16 are estimated to be $9,133,654. This reflects a 3.3% increase over the FY15 Revised
Budget.
The approved budget for residential and commercial Sanitation operations for FY16 is $7,082,420.
Included in this amount is an SLA for the addition of two route managers and a rear loader truck in the
Residential Collections division. Continued growth in the City indicates a need for additional collection
personnel and a vehicle to provide once-per-week refuse/rubbish collection. In an effort to mitigate the
initial financial impact on the Sanitation Fund, the actual purchase of the vehicle, $277,408, 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. A second SLA in the amount of $50,000 was approved for the purchase of Commercial garbage
containers. The condition of some of the existing containers and continual growth warrants replacement
as a significant number have reached the end of their service life.
Non-operating expenditures are approved for $909,019. Included is $722,034 for the utility transfer to the
General Fund as well as $406,560 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 a transfer
from the General Fund and the Drainage Fund for street-sweeping costs. Funding in the amount of
$56,690 is approved in the Sanitation Fund for Keep Brazos Beautiful (KBB) for operations, the
Demonstration Garden at the Texas Ave & George Bush site along with beautification and litter
abatement. The Outside Agency funding amount contains a $3,950 increase in operations funding
requested by KBB. The total FY16 approved expenditures for the Sanitation Fund are $8,839,334.
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.
FY16 approved revenues from parking fees are $1,191,276 and approved revenues from fines are
$216,584. 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.
FY16 parking fee revenue is estimated to be $1,416,826. Other revenues in this fund include investment
earnings and miscellaneous revenue.
Included in the Northgate Parking Fund is budget of $463,925 for the debt service payment related to the
College Main Parking Garage. Budget is also included for two capital projects at the Parking Garage. The
first is $217,805 for concrete repairs, and the second is $97,560 for masonry repairs. Total approved
Northgate Parking Fund expenditures are $1,474,503.

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.
The FY16 budgeted Hotel Tax revenue is $5,502,000 which reflects an increase of 4% over FY15 year-
end estimate of $5,290,000. Hotel tax revenues are forecasted to increase due to a continued solid
tourism economy and the addition of several hotels. Investment earnings of $40,000 are estimated for
FY16.
In FY15, proceeds from the sale of the Chimney Hill property were transferred to the Hotel Tax Fund.
Approximately $9.3 million was transferred into the fund and is available for eligible expenditures in the
Hotel Tax Fund. Most of those funds are projected for capital projects at Veterans Park and Athletic
Complex, and the still to be developed Southeast Park.
Total City operating expenditures in the Hotel Tax Fund are $5,250,049. This is a 134.55% increase from
the FY15 revised budget due to budgeting for the next phase of fields at Veterans Park in the amount of
$3,673,274. This will build two additional synthetic fields and provide other improvements to the existing
athletic fields at Veterans Park. Funds are also budgeted for the third preferred access payment to the
Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) for the use of athletic facilities at Texas A&M University. The FY16
budget for this is $510,000. The City of College Station provides Hotel Tax revenue to the 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 $557,659 for expenditures related to
Parks and Recreation Programs & Events. Programs in the budget include expenditures related to
athletic events such as 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 were
approved with the FY16 budget. The first SLA is $50,000 for bid requirements for hosting the U.S. Youth
Soccer Presidents Cup and the ASA/USA 16 and Under National Championship. A second SLA allocates
$10,000 to host the 2016 Texas Recreation and Parks Society Central Region annual conference and
maintenance rodeo. The third SLA in the amount of $25,000 funds the replacement of the Veterans Park
Memorial kiosk. The new kiosk will provide visitors to the memorial a touch screen database to locate
friends and family on the Louis L. Adams Memorial Plaza & Wall of Honor. The fourth SLA for $22,500
would fund one half of the costs associated with replacing the scoreboards at Brian Bachmann and
Wayne Smith Parks. The other half of this request was approved to be funded out of the General Fund in
the Parks and Recreation Budget. The fifth SLA is for $30,000 to purchase a speaker system to be used
at Veterans Park for the outside tourism based events held at the park.
Other City operating expenditures budgeted in FY16 include $300,000 for soliciting and hosting of sports
tournaments in College Station. This is an increase of $100,000 from FY15. 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 were redistributed to Public Communications and Marketing to be
used for advertising the City to encourage visitors to come to College Station. Also included is $80,000
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 is 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 also 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.
29
A total of $2,810,755 of Hotel Tax funding is in the FY16 Budget for Outside Agencies. This includes
$1,727,855 for the Bryan/College Station Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) for operational,
sales/marketing, promotional, servicing and business development elements; $350,000 for the CVB Grant
Program; $200,000 for Easterwood Airport Advertising; $96,500 for Arts Council operations and
maintenance; $348,400 to Arts Council for affiliate funding and $38,000 for marketing and public arts
support; $25,000 to Veterans Memorial; and $25,000 for the Bryan/College Station Chamber of
Commerce.
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
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. Funds in the amount of $1,235,044
remain in this fund to be used for a future payment to College Station Independent School District for 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.
West Medical District TIRZ No. 18 Fund & East Medical District TIRZ No. 19 Fund
In October of 2012, the City Council authorized 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 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 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 FY16, an estimated
$181,562 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 FY16.
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
30
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 FY16, an estimated $822 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 FY16.
Court Technology Fee Fund

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 FY16 PEG Fee Fund revenues are estimated to
be $207,056. Expenditures of $129,820 were approved in FY16 for expenses related to educational and
governmental broadcasting on Channel 19. Channel 19 provides unique programming that addresses the
needs and 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 $562,657 from the estate has been received to date with the balance expected to be received in
FY16 or when the Estate is closed out. 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 FY16. 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

Safety/Security Position. The other 50% of this position is budgeted in the Property & Casualty Fund.
Unemployment Compensation Fund
Revenues in this fund are collected based as a percentage of each employee’s salary. Total FY16
approved revenues, including premium costs and investment earnings, are $32,736. Claims costs in the
amount of $50,000 are approved to be budgeted in FY16.

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 FY16, estimated revenue in the Fleet Maintenance Fund is $2,134,012, which includes SLAs related to
the approved fleet additions. Approved budgeted expenditures for FY16 are at $2,067,902. This includes
a $37,200 SLA for tire mounting machines, balancers, and accessories needed to continue to perform
maintenance and repairs on light and heavy vehicles and equipment. A second SLA in the amount of
$9,090 is included for an increase in overtime due the increase in the size of the fleet, managing
damaged vehicles, and completing daily preventative maintenance. In addition, the Fleet Services
department responds to emergency after-hours calls which requires the use of overtime.
33
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.
FY16 approved expenditures are $2,356,974.
Two SLAs are included in the approved budget.
The first SLA, in the amount $38,627, is for the
addition of one full-time Senior Customer
Service Representative for Collections. This
position will help ensure that a high level of
customer service is maintained, as well as
decrease delays in billings caused by a
shortage of manpower in that department. This
will increase the total FTE count in the Utility Customer Service Fund by 1.0 FTE. The second SLA will
fund year 2 of 3 of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Process Documentation, which will provide
contract services to assist with documenting new processes as part of the system implementation. This
expenditure is budgeted in the amount of $25,000.
Capital Projects Funds
The City has a number of capital project funds. General Obligation Bonds (GOB) have historically been
used 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, 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).
In addition to the general government projects, the City has bond funds for each of the utilities operated
by the City. Also for FY16, operating funds from the Electric and Wastewater Funds in the amount of
$13,350,000 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, Park Land
Dedication Funds and the Hotel Tax Fund. 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 FY16
Approved Budget. More details about these projects can be found in the Governmental Capital

budget includes funds to start the design of a new Police Station. Also included in the FY16 facility capital
project budget is $400,000 to be used for the conceptual planning/design of a community center. The
funding for this planning/design will come from the General Fund that will be transferred to the General
Government CIP Fund. These projects are part of a group of projects that are currently being considered
by Council. Based on current forecasts, construction of these projects would require a tax increase.

document.
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 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.
Special Revenue Capital Projects
Below is a summary of the key special revenue projects included in the FY16 Approved Budget. More
details about these projects can be found in the Special Revenue Capital Improvement Projects narrative

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 FY 16, estimates are
included for Park Land Dedication projects that are anticipated to be completed in the various park zones .
37
Key park development projects included in the FY16 Park Land Dedication Funds include the initial

year within the applicable zones. Funds not used in the fiscal year will carry over to future fiscal years.
Hotel Tax Fund Capital Improvement Projects
Included in the FY16 Approved Budget is an estimate of $3,673,274 for the construction of phase I of the
Build-Out of the Veterans Park and Athletic Complex. The project will include the construction of two
additional synthetic turf fields at Veterans Park along with parking and lighting to support the new fields.
The synthetic turf fields will provide an all-weather playing surface that can be used immediately following
a rain event. In addition, spectator areas and amenities will be added to these fields and to several
existing fields as part of this project. The project will be funded using Hotel Tax funds as the project is
anticipated to result in a significant number of individuals coming from outside of the community to play in
tournaments held on these fields. The fields will be able to facilitate sports such as soccer, football,
lacrosse, and a myriad of other sports events.
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 Greenways Land Acquisition
throughout the City. The City’s Greenways Master Plan calls for future trail development in urban and
suburban greenways. In addition, an estimate of $200,000 is included in FY16 for Minor Drainage
Improvement projects. These funds are used for minor unscheduled drainage projects that may arise
throughout the fiscal year.

Control in the Wolf Pen Creek Trail Area, the completion of the Southland Drainage Improvements
project, and for the completion of the Drainage Master Plan. In addition, an estimate has been included in
the FY16 budget for the Southwest Parkway Storm Drain Replacement project. The existing storm drain
is at the end of its service life and needs to be replaced.
Additional O&M Costs
The FY16 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. 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 FY15 revised General Fund revenue budget is $63,036,033 and the FY15 year-end estimate is projected to
be $64,961,429. The FY15 year-end estimate for General Fund revenue is anticipated to be approximately $2.0
million over the FY15 revised budget. A significant portion of this is due to the year-end estimate for sales tax.
The FY15 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 FY16 General Fund revenues are $68,396,944. This represents a 5.3% increase over the FY15
year-end estimate. A portion of this increase is due to higher property tax revenues as a result on new value
being added to the tax rolls as well as increases in the value of existing property.
Sales tax is estimated to continue to increase as a result of a positive economy. Revenue projections are based
on historical trends and consider economic variables that impact 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 FY16 are estimated to be $18,267,815. The anticipated revenues are based on the
approved operations and maintenance (O&M) tax rate of 25.9448 cents per $100 valuation.
2. Sales Tax is estimated to be $27,592,000 in FY16; this projection reflects a 3.5% increase over the FY15
year-end estimate. The FY15 year-end estimate is projected to come in approximately $1.3 million higher
than the budget estimate. 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% of overall General Fund revenues.
3. Mixed Drink and Franchise Taxes are projected to be $3,084,425, which is 11.8% above the FY15 revised
budget. Franchise taxes include phone, cable, and natural gas.
4. Licenses and Permit Revenue in FY16 is anticipated to be higher than the FY15 budget, but slightly lower
than the FY15 year-end estimate. The FY16 revenue is estimated to be $1,158,974.
5. Intergovernmental Revenues for FY16 are anticipated to grow in FY15 as the result of the award of a grant
to fund firefighter positions. Among the intergovernmental revenues the City anticipates receiving in FY16
are reimbursements from TAMU and CSISD for traffic control, escorts and various other services provided
by the 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 $129,130 in FY16. This includes revenue estimated for
tournament fees. Most of the Parks and Recreation revenue is recorded in the Recreation Program
Revenues.
49
7. Recreation Program Revenues are estimated to be $874,150. These revenues are associated with the
various recreational, sports, aquatics, Senior/Teen Centers, Lincoln Center and various instruction programs.
These revenues were previously accounted for in the Recreation Fund, and have now been brought back
into the General Fund.
8. Other Service Charges include miscellaneous charges and fees from various departments within the
General Fund, including Development Services, Police, Fire, and Municipal Court. The revenues are
projected to be $3,205,654 in FY16.
9. Fines, Forfeits, and Penalties are mostly ticket and court fines from Municipal Court. These are generated
primarily through traffic citations. Fines, forfeits, and penalties are estimated to be $2,745,510 in FY16.
10. Investment Earnings are estimated at $62,220 in the FY16 Approved Budget. Investment earnings
continue to be low due to continued very low interest rates. FY16 earnings are anticipated to remain
relatively flat.
11. Miscellaneous Revenues include such items as rents and royalties, various donations, collection service
fees, sale of abandoned property, sale of fixed assets, etc. FY16 estimated revenue is $248,946.
12. Utility Transfers to the General Fund are budgeted to be $10,474,917 for FY16. These transfers reflect in-
lieu of franchise fees revenue for the General Fund since the City owns the utilities.
Approved Net Expenditures for FY16 are $77,610,435 or 11.5% higher than the FY15 revised budget. The
General Fund budget includes additional funds for public safety, street maintenance and repair, parks and
recreation facility improvements, and funds for salary increases.
As part of the budget review discussion, the City Council provided direction to increase the Electric Utility Transfer
to the General Fund from the maximum 6% of operating revenues to a maximum of 6.9% of operating revenues.
This resulted in an increase of $1,083,326 to the Utility Transfer to the General Fund amount. These funds will be
transferred to the General Fund to pay for additional salaries and benefits associated with the implementation of
the results of a salary survey. In addition, The City Council also provided direction to add $28,000 ($4,000 one-
time, and $24,000 ongoing) to the IT budget in the General Fund for the Open Data Initiative project.
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 FY16 and FY17. These include transfers of
$2,136,650 to the General Government Capital Improvement Projects Fund for facility improvements; a transfer of
$500,000 to the Economic Development Fund for future economic development incentives. Also included is a
transfer of $1,300,000 to the Equipment Replacement Fund for the future replacement of SCBA (breathing
apparatus) for the Fire Department.
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 these expenditures can be found in Appendix I of this document.
In addition, a number of Service Level Adjustments (SLAs) are included in the FY16 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 683.5 positions are included in the General Fund budget. Requests for increases in personnel were
submitted as SLAs as part of the budget process. An addition of 16.5 positions is included in the FY16 budget. A
full listing of personnel can be found in Appendix C.
There is a projected 44.5% decrease in the FY16 ending fund balance when compared to the FY15 year-end
ending fund balance. This is due, in part, to a number of one-time expenditures that are budgeted in FY16. Funds
for these one-time expenditures are available in part due to the sale of City property and proceeds received from
a legal settlement.

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 for FY16
1. Goal: Continue 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: 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
3. 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 was submitted and approved for the FY15
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: Database management requirements have reached the point where dedicated
expertise and administration are needed.
i. Plan of Action: An SLA was submitted for FY16 for one additional FTE for a
new database administrator position. Additionally, the department has entered
into a 6 month trial for outsourced database administration services from a
commercial provider. At the end of this pilot program a decision will be made
to outsource the service or hire a DBA as a city full time staff position.
c. 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 FY16
CIP list of proposed projects. Due to resource constraints, this project may be
delayed to FY17.
d. 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
84
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT STRATEGIC PLAN
option. If no free or open source solutions can be found that are a good fit for
our environment, budget impact will be evaluated and a solution proposed.
e. 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.

will need to be put on hold in order to investigate this fraud. This could potentially
lead us to not completing all of our assigned audits.

our remaining audits so that we can still complete all assigned audits and still
at least audit all of the major areas of risk.
b. Issue: Audits take longer than expected
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.
c. Issue: Audits have become increasingly large and time-intensive
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 FY16 tax rate to finance general
governmental services, including debt service, is 45.2500 cents per $100 of valuation. The FY16 debt service
portion of the tax rate is 19.3052 cents per $100 of valuation. 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:
*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.
Revenues in the Debt Service Fund are projected to increase in FY16 by 8.14% from the FY15 revised budget.
FY16 ad valorem tax collections are projected to increase by 7.57%. Total revenues projected to pay on the City’s
existing debt in FY16 are estimated to be $13,948,353. Total expenditures out of the Debt Service Fund are
estimated to be $13,024,593. Of that total, budget for the General Obligation (GO) and Certificates of Obligation
(CO) debt service expenditure is $12,974,593.
In November of 2008, voters approved $76,950,000 in GO Bond 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. The amount of debt issued in FY14 was intended to cover the
needs of both FY14 and FY15. Therefore, no additional debt was issued in FY15 for capital projects. In FY16, it is
projected that the City will issue $8,785,000 in GO debt from the 2008 GO Bond Authorization. This includes
$4,185,000 for the Library Expansion project, $4,000,000 for the Lakeway Extension project and $600,000 for
traffic signal projects.
The Capital Improvement Program portion of the approved budget has been revised to include a number of
additional capital transportation projects. These projects were not included in the proposed budget as the
determination as to whether or not these projects would be included on a 2015 GO Bond Authorization had not
been finalized when the proposed budget was developed. In accordance with the direction provided by Council on
August 13, 2015, it is anticipated that these projects will be funded with CO debt over the next five fiscal years.
It is anticipated that a total of $16,800,000 CO debt will be issued for General Government capital projects in FY16.
Street and transportation projects for which CO debt is scheduled to be issued include Munson Street Rehabilitation,
Francis Drive Rehabilitation and the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Master Plan. In addition, it is anticipated
that CO debt will be issued for several new transportation projects. These include Greens Prairie Trail from 2154
through Royder Road; the relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad Crossing from Cain to Deacon; the design of
capacity improvements on 2818 between Wellborn Road and George Bush Drive; the Holleman Drive South Widening
project; the Union Pacific Railroad Grade Crossing and Road Improvements at Rock Prairie Road West from 2154 to
Holleman South; the Union Pacific Railroad Grade Crossing and Road Improvements - Capstone and Barron Road
Alignment; Neighborhood Safety Improvements - Holik, Park Place, Anna and Glade; Intersection Improvements at
Greens Prairie Road and Arrington; and the Royder Road Expansion project. In addition, CO debt is projected to be
issued in FY16 to be used toward the design of a new Police Station facility.
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 FY16. The following
section contains a schedule of requirements and a summary of requirements for all GOs and COs. The detailed
schedule for each GO issue, CO issue and Utility Revenue Bond issue is found in Appendix H.

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-half of the funds for the debt service payment will be transferred into the

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
FY16 is $875,000 which includes a one-time SLA $500,000 for future economic development incentives.
Investment earnings of $1,000 are also included in the Approved FY16 revenue budget.
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 $751,839 is projected in the FY16
Approved Budget for cash assistance.

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. City Council approved an incentive agreement with Kalon Biotherapeutics in June 2014
with annual payments scheduled from October 2016 to October 2022. Kalon Biotherapeutics has an estimated
$196,839 incentive payment which will be based on Brazos Central Appraisal District certified taxable values as of
August 25, 2016. A one-time $500,000 SLA is approved to pay economic development incentives to be
determined.
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 FY16 are $786,839.
There is a projected 43.67% increase in the FY16 fund balance when compared to the FY15 year-end estimated
fund balance due to the payoff of the University Town Center incentive payments in 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 intended to construct a convention center on the purchased
property and the property was sold 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, were transferred to the Hotel Tax
Fund.
The Chimney Hill Fund was closed in FY15.

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 may use 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.
The amount of debt issued in FY14 was intended to cover the needs of both FY14 and FY15. Therefore, no
additional debt was issued in FY15 for capital projects. In FY16, it is projected that the City will issue $8,785,000
in General Obligation debt from the 2008 GOB authorization. This includes $4,185,000 for the Library Expansion
project, $4,000,000 for the Lakeway Extension project and $600,000 for traffic signal projects.
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 and development of land for economic development uses.
Transportation and facility infrastructure.
Infrastructure for the Electric, Water and Wastewater utilities.
Street and transportation projects for which CO debt is scheduled to be issued include Munson Street
Rehabilitation, Francis Drive Rehabilitation and the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Master Plan. In
accordance with the direction provided by Council on August 13, 2015, it is anticipated that a number of additional
new transportation projects will be funded with CO debt over the next five fiscal years. These include Greens
Prairie Trail from 2154 through Royder Road; the relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad Crossing from Cain to
Deacon; the design of capacity improvements on 2818 between Wellborn Road and George Bush Drive; the
Holleman Drive South Widening project; the Union Pacific Railroad Grade Crossing and Road Improvements at
Rock Prairie Road West from 2154 to the City limits; the Capstone and Barron Road Alignment; Neighborhood
Safety Improvements - Holik, Park Place, Anna and Glade; Intersection Improvements at Greens Prairie Road
and Arrington; and the Royder Road Expansion project. In addition, CO debt is projected to be issued in FY16 to
be used toward the design of a new Police Station facility.
116
It is also anticipated that CO’s in the amount of $8,910,000 will be issued in FY16 for Water capital projects. CO
debt is not projected to be issued for Wastewater or Electric capital projects.
GOVERNMENTAL CAPITAL PROJECTS
Below are descriptions of the governmental capital projects included in the FY16 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 FY16, funds in the amount of $4,018,508 are estimated to be spent on Street Rehabilitation projects. Included
in this amount is an estimated $207,508 for the completion of the Rehabilitation of Rock Prairie Road from
Medical Avenue to W.D. Fitch Parkway. The roadway is being reconstructed with significant base repairs and
slightly wider travel lanes. This project is funded primarily with COs issued in FY14. Estimates have also been
included for the Luther Street Rehabilitation project and the Munson Street Rehabilitation project. The
funding for these projects came from several sources. A portion of the funding came 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 are being 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
Health Science Center Parkway budget balance. This cost of this project came in more favorable than expected
and a portion of the remaining budget is being used 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 FY16 for 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
construction on the project will begin in FY16 and will extend into FY17. A portion of the funding for this project
was transferred from the General Fund and the balance will be CO debt issue.
Street Extension/Capacity Improvement Projects
The FY16 estimate for Street Extension/Capacity Improvement projects is $11,853,680. 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. 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. In
addition, the CIP has funds included for Future OP. These OP funds are not scheduled for activity in FY16 but
are projected for expenditure in future years and are scheduled to be transferred from the General Fund.
An estimate of $3,687,750 is projected in FY16 for design and construction work on the Lakeway Extension
project. This project is the extension of Lakeway from its current terminus north to the existing Lakeway section
south of Scott & White. The project also includes the extension of Pebble Creek Parkway from State Highway 6
east to Lakeway extension. This project was part of the 2008 GOB authorization.
An estimate of $1,485,930 is included 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 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 came from the balance of the Tauber and Stasney Rehabilitation project and the
remaining portion came from COs issued in FY14.
A number of projects have been added to the FY16 CIP in an effort to address some high priority transportation
needs that have been identified. Funding for the construction of projects is anticipated to come from COs. This
includes the construction of Improvements on Greens Prairie Trail from FM 2154 through Royder Road. This
117
project will be for the rehabilitation of Greens Prairie Trail from FM 2154 through the intersection with Royder
Road with the proposed roadway being a 4-lane divided roadway. It is anticipated that this project will be
constructed in conjunction with CSISD’s plans for a future school. Starting the project in FY16 will allow the City to
complete construction prior to the opening of the school. The funding for design of this project came from budget
balances of two other projects that received favorable bids. Funding for construction is anticipated to come from
COs. Other projects along this corridor and that are included in the FY16 CIP include the Greens Prairie Road at
Arrington Intersection Improvements project and the Royder Road Expansion project. The Greens Prairie
Road at Arrington Intersection Improvements project is for intersection improvements at Greens Prairie and
Arrington Road. This may be signalization and/or other traffic control methods. The Royder Road Expansion
project is for the reconstruction of Royder Road from approximately Greens Prairie Road to Green Prairie Trail.
The existing asphalt roads are expected to be replaced with concrete roadways with curb, gutter, underground
storm sewer and sidewalks.
Several projects have been added that involve roadway and grade crossing improvements at Union Pacific
Railroad Crossings. The first of these projects is the Relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad Crossing from
Cain to Deacon. This project is for the relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad Crossing from Cain to Deacon with
the addition of a traffic signal. The second of these projects is the Union Pacific Railroad Crossing and
Roadway Improvements – Rock Prairie Road West – 2154 to the City Limits project. This project includes
the reconstruction of Rock Prairie Road West from approximately Wellborn Road to the city limits. The third of
these projects is the Capstone and Barron Road Realignment project. This project includes the reconstruction
and realignment of Capstone Drive and Barron Road from approximately Apricot Glen to Picadilly Circle.
Also included in the FY16 CIP is the Design of Capacity Improvements on 2818 between Wellborn Road and
George Bush Drive. This project is for the design of capacity improvements on 2818 between Wellborn Road
and George Bush Drive. Construction of these improvements is expected to be TxDOT funded, but completing
the design at this time should help to expedite the project when funds become available. In addition, funding is
included in the FY16 CIP for the Holleman Drive South Widening project. This project is for the widening of
Holleman Drive South from North Dowling to Rock Prairie Road.
Other projects added to the CIP to address high priority transportation needs include the Neighborhood Safety
Improvements – Holik, Park Place, Anna and Glade. This project is for the rehabilitation of Park Place, Holik
Street, Glade Street and Anna Street surrounding Oakwood Intermediate School. Currently the street cross-
sections consist of a rural local street cross-section with open ditches and no pedestrian accommodations for
students walking to school.
Several additional extension and capacity projects have been added to the Capital Program. These projects are
not scheduled to have any activity in FY16 but are projected for construction in future years. These projects
include Greens Prairie Road - Arrington Road to City Limits West of Wallace Phillips Parkway. This project
includes the reconstruction of Greens Prairie Road from approximately Arrington Road to the city limits west of
Wallace Phillips Parkway. Also included for future construction is the Greens Prairie Trail – City Limits West of
Woodlake to Royder Road. This project is for the reconstruction of Greens Prairie Trail from the city limits west
of Woodlake to Royder Road. Lastly, the extension of Rock Prairie Road – State Highway 6 to Medical Way
project has been projected for future construction. This project is for the reconstruction of Rock Prairie Road from
approximately State Highway 6 to Medical Avenue.
TxDOT Projects
An estimate of $550,000 is included for Improvements to the Greens Prairie Trail and FM 2154 Intersection. It
is anticipated that this project will be completed in coordination with Brazos County and TxDOT. Phase I will be
bid by the County with participation from the City for traffic signal items. Phase II will be bid by TxDOT with
participation from the County and the City. A portion of the budget for this project came from remaining OP funds
and a portion of the budget came from the Health Science Center Parkway budget balance. The bids for this
project came in more favorable than expected and a portion of the remaining budget was available for this project.
Traffic Projects
The FY16 Approved Budget includes an estimated $3,365,916 for traffic projects throughout the City. This
includes an estimate of $625,000 for a signal and related roadway improvements at the intersection of
Victoria Avenue and State Highway 40. Also included in the estimated expenditures for traffic projects is
$259,788 for future signal projects that may be needed as determined by the results of traffic warrant studies.
118
The most significant traffic project to be included in the FY16 Approved Budget is the Intelligent Transportation
System (ITS) Master Plan. In 2013, an 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. Phase I of the project was completed ahead of the 2015 Texas
A&M University football season. An estimate of $2,481,128 is included in FY16 is for the next phase of the
implementation plan. It is anticipated that CO debt will be issued for most of the capital costs of this project that
are included in the CIP. In addition, the Texas A&M University System has committed $850,000 for improvements
beyond the original scope of the project. In addition, the CIP has funds included for Future Traffic Signals.
These signal funds are not scheduled for activity in FY16, but are projected for expenditure in future years and
are scheduled to be transferred from the General Fund.
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 FY16, $3,167,260 is estimated to be spent on sidewalk and trail projects. The majority of this will be used
for the completion of 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, $873,088 is estimated to be spent toward the design and initial 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. In addition, the CIP has
funds included for Future Sidewalk projects. These sidewalk funds are not scheduled for activity in FY16, but
are projected for expenditure in future years and are scheduled to be transferred from the General Fund.
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 FY16, expenditures in the amount of $4,483,426 are estimated for Parks and Recreation capital improvement
projects. Included is $184,750 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 estimate of $3,050,606 has been included in FY16 for the Lincoln Center Addition construction. This project
is for the expansion of the Lincoln Center building to include additional space for programming and storage. In
addition, funds in the amount of $1,248,070 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.
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
FY16, $8,642,879 is the estimated expenditure for public facility projects. Included is $4,056,229 which will be
used toward the Library Expansion project. Construction of this project is expected to begin in FY16 and be
completed in FY17.
The FY16 budget also includes several projects for existing City facilities and are necessary to address
compliance and corrective maintenance needs. These projects are being funded with one-time General Funds
that will be transferred to the General Government CIP Fund. The first of these projects is for the replacement,
containment repair, and cleaning of existing above-ground storage tanks. This is necessary in order to meet
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations. The second of these projects is the addition of
a tipping structure that will be used for street sweeping containment. This structure is necessary for TCEQ
and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) compliance. The third project in this group is for corrective
maintenance on the Police Department building. This project will address items that have been identified as
immediate needs at the facility. The funds will be used to address deficiencies with the HVAC system and will be
used to replace the roof.
119
The approved budget also includes two public safety facility projects that are anticipated will be needed in the
future. The first of these is a new Police Station facility and the second is Fire Station #7. The FY16 budget
includes funding to start the design of a new Police Station. It is projected that the design of the Police Station be
funded with COs. Also included in the FY16 facility capital project budget is $400,000 to be used for the
conceptual planning/design of a community center. The funding for this planning/design will come from the
General Fund that will be transferred to the General Government CIP Fund. Based on current forecasts,
construction of a New Police Station, Fire Station #7 and a Community Center would require a tax increase.
The FY16 Approved Budget also includes a projected expenditure of $1,954,962 for technology projects. Included
is $87,064 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 $1,047,090 has been included in the budget for the
implementation of 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 $2,700,000 and implementation
is expected to begin in FY16 and be completed in FY17.
Funds in the amount of $820,808 are estimated in FY16 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 occurring 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 with the balance coming from the General Fund and from the
enterprise funds that are benefitting from the project.
ADDITIONAL O&M COSTS
The FY16 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 FY16 Approved Budget includes $428,763 for new O&M costs related to General Government CIP projects
anticipated to be completed in FY15 and FY16. Street projects for which O&M budget has been included in the
budget include Cooner Street Rehabilitation, Eisenhower Street Extension and several sidewalk improvement
projects. Budget related to the ITS Master Plan has also been included for the addition of a traffic engineer
position in the Public Works Department. This position is needed to operate the Traffic Management Center. The
budget for this O&M was included as an SLA item for FY16.
Budget has also been included in the O&M budget for several IT capital projects. These include additional budget
related to the Teleworks Upgrade that was completed in FY14; additional O&M budget that will be needed for the
CAD/RMS project; and additional O&M budget related to the ERP Replacement, due to running multiple systems
concurrently.
Parks projects for which budget has been added to the FY16 budget include the Lick Creek Nature Center project
and the restrooms that are being added at Wolf Pen Creek.
120
In addition to the budget included for FY16, 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 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 2014 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.
Certificates of Obligation (CO) debt has been issued for utility projects since FY08. Prior to that time, Utility
Revenue Bonds (URBs) were issued. In FY16, CO debt in the amount of $8,910,000 is projected to be issued for
Water capital improvement projects. Debt is not projected to be issued for Electric or Wastewater projects in
FY16. It is anticipated that working capital will be used for the FY16 capital project expenditures in these Funds.
Electric Fund
The FY16 Electric Fund revenue is estimated to be $100,039,561. This is approximately a 1% increase from the
FY15 year-end estimate of $99,006,528. The FY16 revenue estimate is intended to reflect the future growth that
is expected to impact the system. No rate increase is included in the Electric Fund in FY16. The FY16 operating
budget in the Electric Fund is projected to be $72,689,286. This reflects a 7.59% decrease from the FY15 revised
budget. This is primarily due changes in anticipated purchased power prices in FY16.
Five Service Level Adjustments (SLAs) are included in the FY16 Approved Budget. The first of these SLAs is for a
consultant to identify phasing on all circuits that use ERCOT phasing. These funds, estimated at $60,000, will be
used to accurately phase substation circuits and radial lines in a manner that will enable it to correct the
engineering analysis model that is currently used. This will allow Operations to be able to more accurately define
outages when they happen and should result in reduced outage times for customers. This will also aid in system
modeling by allowing more proactive identification of load issues and their locations, identifying unbalanced loads
and where those loads can be moved, and assisting in planning for the future. A second SLA, in the amount of
$185,000, is included in the approved budget for the painting of several of the City’s substations. Substation
equipment at the Greens Prairie, Post Oak, Switch Station, and Southwood Valley electric substation sites was
last painted in September of 1999. The SLA funds will be used to paint equipment at these substations using a
flow coat method to protect the surface metal from rust and to help with oil cooling. This painting will also provide
better protection to the aging substation equipment that is exposed to the elements on a continual basis and will
improve the aesthetics of these facilities. The third SLA included in the Electric Fund’s approved budget is for a
third party compliance audit. The Electric Utility is mandated to undergo periodic standard/requirement audits. It is
industry best practice to periodically have a third party consultant perform a compliance audit assessment on an
entity as an aid to maintaining an effective internal compliance program. This SLA, estimated at $50,000, is for
the completion of this assessment.
Also included in the approved budget are two staffing SLAs. The first of these is for the addition of a Meter
Technician position. The position is needed due to the growth and complexity of the electric system as well as the
additional compliance requirements by various regulatory agencies. The second staffing related SLA is for the
addition of a Line Technician/Troubleman position. The Electric utility currently operates with one Troubleman
position. This person is the first responder to trouble calls during working hours to address service and power
issues throughout the City. This position will help the utility address the growing needs of the City by providing
better response time to customer calls and minimizing the inefficiencies of pulling crews off of construction
projects in order to handle trouble calls. This SLA also includes the addition of a vehicle and necessary
equipment.
The FY16 estimated non-operating budget is $25,320,903 or 40.89% above the FY15 revised non-operating
budget. A significant portion of this is due to an increase in the amount of funds being budgeted in FY16 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 FY15, $5,500,000 was budgeted for this purpose, while in FY16,
a total of $12,150,000 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. In addition, as part of the budget review discussion, the City Council provided direction to increase the
131
Electric Utility Transfer to the General Fund from the maximum 6% of operating revenues to a maximum of 6.9%
of operating revenues. This resulted in an increase of $1,083,326 to the transfer amount. This additional
appropriation will be transferred to the General Fund to pay for salary increases associated with the
implementation of the results of a salary survey. Also impacting the change in the non-operating budget from
FY15 to FY16 is the transfer budget for the Electric Fund’s portion of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
System Replacement. A budget of $311,531 was included for this purpose in the FY15 budget, but not in the
FY16 budget.
The FY16 estimated ending working capital is anticipated to increase 11.9% when compared to the FY15
estimated ending working capital. This is due primarily to the FY16 estimates for purchased power being lower
than in FY15. The FY16 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 FY16 is estimated to be $14,901,604. This is a 6.73% increase over the FY15 year-end
estimate of $13,961,752. The FY15 year-end estimate is considerably lower as a result of reduced usage due to
the unusually wet weather in the spring of 2015. It is anticipated that the FY16 revenues will reflect more typical
weather patterns and usage. No rate increase is included for residential or commercial users in the Water Fund in
FY16.
The FY16 operating budget in the Water Fund is $7,226,936 or 0.07% less than the FY15 revised budget. Five
SLA requests have been included for the Water Fund in the FY16 approved budget. The first SLA, in the amount
of $151,155 is for the addition of a field operator position and crew leader position. This is the second year of a
two year plan to add an additional crew. As part of this plan, two field operator positions were added in FY15. 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. The second SLA, in the amount of $130,159, is for the rehabilitation of a
transfer pump at Sandy Point Pump Station. This proposal is to remove the motor and have it serviced by a
qualified motor shop and to remove the pump from the clear well for disassembly and inspection. At that point, a
decision will be made as to what components should be replaced or if it is more judicious to replace the entire
pump. A third SLA is for the purchase of a vacuum excavator/locator. This piece of equipment is a smaller, more
portable vacuum excavation rig that will assist with the identification and isolation of conflicting utilities and will
allow excavations to be performed with less risk of damage when compared to traditional excavation equipment.
The estimated cost related to the purchase of this piece of equipment is $52,823. The fourth SLA is for the
conversion of a part-time non-benefitted Environmental Technician position to a full-time benefitted position. The
growth of the City along with the addition of new programs has added increased demands to the workload. This
conversion of this position will better enable the department to meet these demands. The final SLA in the Water
Fund is for the repair of the Well #3 Cable Vault for an estimated $20,000. The existing in-ground cable vault at
well #3 is sinking. This project is for the removal and replacement of the existing vault, conduit and cables going
from the motor control center to the well and pump. In addition, the vault will be moved and the bottom stabilized
to prevent this from recurring.
The FY16 non-operating budget is $6,681,620 or 19.19% lower than the FY15 revised non-operating budget. This
is primarily due to a decrease in the amount budgeted to be transferred in FY16 to the Water Capital
Improvement Projects budget for water capital projects. Each year, the projected ending working capital is
evaluated to determine if funds are available above the required 15% reserve for transfer in lieu of additional debt
issuance. In FY16, funds have not been budgeted for transfer; whereas, $1,095,000 was budgeted for this
transfer in FY15. In addition, a transfer of $166,970 for the Water Fund’s portion of the Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) System Replacement cost was included in the FY15 budget, but not in the FY16 budget.
The FY16 estimated ending working capital is anticipated to increase 79.55% when compared to the FY15
estimated ending working capital. This is due primarily to the projected increase in revenue as a result of
anticipated typical weather patterns. This increase in the projected FY16 ending working capital is intended to
bring the Water Fund back up to the 15% reserve policy.
Wastewater Fund
The Wastewater Fund revenue estimate for FY16 is $14,839,506. This is a 1.87% increase over the FY15 year-
end estimate of $14,566,908. No rate increase is included for residential or commercial users in the Wastewater
Fund in FY16.
132
The FY16 Wastewater Fund operating budget is $7,128,750 or 3.47% lower than the FY15 revised budget of
$7,384,750. The majority of the decrease is due to the removal of several one-time SLAs from the FY16 budget
that were approved in FY15. The FY16 Approved Budget includes seven SLAs in the Wastewater Fund. The first
of these SLAs is for the addition of a Staff Assistant position. This position will provide administrative support with
a variety of departmental functions such as payroll and accounting related functions. The second SLA is for the
addition of a Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator position. The additional operator is needed to address all of
the additional work tasks associated with the continued expansion of the wastewater system, including new lift
stations and the reclaimed water system. The third SLA, in the amount of $50,000, is for the purchase of aeration
system stones which are used in the fine bubble aeration system currently utilized within all of the wastewater
treatment plant aeration basins. These stones are an important part of the wastewater treatment process, as they
provide the efficient distribution of oxygen to maintain healthy bacteria populations needed to treat raw
wastewater. The fourth SLA is for funding to collect and analyze wastewater samples from multiple locations
within the two City wastewater treatment plants. Collection and analysis of these samples will allow the
department to better understand the nutrient concentrations, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus levels, as they
change throughout the treatment process. This data will later be used to design the expected nutrient removal
systems for future regulatory compliance. The estimated cost for this program is $10,000. The fifth SLA is for the
purchase of a tow behind sewer jetting machine. This machine, the cost of which is estimated at $70,030, is
towable, light and can be maneuvered in tight spaces, especially in rear easements where much of the residential
sewer infrastructure is located. The sixth SLA in the Wastewater Fund is for the purchase of an all-terrain vehicle
(gator) that will be used for inspections of remote utility easements that are not accessible by full-sized vehicle.
The final Wastewater Fund SLA is for the addition of a utility bed to a ¾ ton service truck that is being purchased
to replace an existing van. The van has met its useful life and is due for replacement. This SLA is for the
additional cost of upgrading the truck from a standard truck bed to a utility bed (estimated at $10,000).
The FY16 Wastewater Fund non-operating budget is $7,238,864 or 7.86% lower than the FY15 revised non-
operating budget. This is primarily due to a decrease from $1,625,000 to $1,200,000 in the amount budgeted to
be transferred in FY16 to the Wastewater Capital Improvement Projects budget for wastewater capital projects.
These funds are transferred in lieu of additional debt issuance. In addition, a transfer of $166,970 for the
Wastewater Fund’s portion of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System Replacement cost was included in
the FY15 budget, but not in the FY16 budget.
The FY16 estimated ending working capital is anticipated to increase 12.10% when compared to the FY15
estimated ending working capital. Each year, the projected ending working capital balance is evaluated to
determine if funds above the required 15% reserve are available for transfer in lieu of additional debt issuance. It
is anticipated that a considerable amount of working capital will be transferred in future fiscal years for use on
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 2014 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.
FY16 Revenues for the fund are estimated to be $9,133,654. This is a 3.3% increase over the FY15 Revised
Budget due to growth projections in Residential and Commercial Collections. No rate increase is included in the
Sanitation Fund for FY16. A Sanitation Commercial Collection cost of service and rate design study is in process
to review the charges to ensure adequate coverage of costs of services in commercial collections. The City wants
to ensure revenue sufficient to meet the operations and maintenance and capital needs of the City’s Sanitation
Enterprise Fund.
The approved budget for residential and commercial Sanitation operations for FY16 is $7,082,420. Included in
this amount is an SLA for the addition of two route managers and a rear loader truck in the Residential Collections
division. Continued growth in the City indicates a need for additional collection personnel and a vehicle to provide
once-per-week refuse/rubbish collection. In an effort to mitigate the initial financial impact on the Sanitation Fund,
the actual purchase of the vehicle, $277,408, 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. A second SLA in the amount of $50,000 is approved for the
purchase of Commercial garbage containers. The condition of some of the existing containers and continual
growth warrants replacement as a significant number have reached the end of their service life.
Non-operating expenditures are approved for $909,019. Included is $722,034 for the utility transfer to the General
Fund as well as $406,560 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 a transfer from the General Fund and the
Drainage Fund for street-sweeping costs. Funding in the amount of $56,690 is approved in the Sanitation Fund
for Keep Brazos Beautiful (KBB) for operations, the Demonstration Garden at the Texas Ave & George Bush site
along with beautification and litter abatement. Total FY16 approved expenditures for the Sanitation Fund are
$8,839,334.
The FY16 Sanitation ending working capital is expected to increase by 28.38% from the estimated FY15 ending
working capital due to an increase in the estimated revenue and lower non-operating expenditures. 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 2014 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.
FY16 parking fee revenue is estimated to be $1,416,826. 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 $518,030. Also included in the Northgate
Parking Fund is budget related to non-parking costs in the amount of $198,199. 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. The approved FY16 expenditures include
two SLAs. The first SLA for $13,646 is to transition two part-time District Specialist personnel to one full-time
District Coordinator. A second SLA is approved to allocate $50,000 for replacement of the bollards system.
Bollards were initially installed as part of the University Drive Pedestrian Safety Program.
Included in the Northgate Parking Fund is budget of $463,925 for the debt service payment related to the College
Main Parking Garage. Budget is also included for two capital 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 $1,474,503.

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.
Certificates of Obligation (CO) debt has been issued for utility projects since FY08. Prior to that time, Utility
Revenue Bonds (URBs) were issued. In FY16, CO debt in the amount of $8,910,000 is projected to be issued for
Water capital improvement projects. Debt is not projected to be issued for Electric or Wastewater projects in
FY16. It is anticipated that working capital will be used for the FY16 capital project expenditures in these Funds.
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 FY16 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 $12,266,000. Included is $88,000 for General
Plant projects. This amount is for general plant upgrades as well as an estimate to identify long-term facility
programming needs. Funds in the amount of $1,325,000 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
$2,800,000 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. Also included is underground on
Rock Prairie Road and an underground duct system to coincide with the Lakeway Drive Extension project. A total
of $2,180,000 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 $150,000 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. A
budget of $1,980,000 is included for Distribution projects and $3,613,000 is included for Transmission
projects. Transmission/Distribution projects planned for FY16 include the purchase and installation of two
substation transformers. These transformers were ordered in FY15, but the expenditure is expected to occur in
FY16. The transmission/distribution estimate also includes $2,800,000 for a transmission line reroute and
reconductor. Also included in the estimate are various SCADA enhancements and various other capital
improvements.
The FY16 Approved Budget includes an estimated $12,150,000 in current revenues that will be transferred from
operations to fund Electric capital projects. It is not anticipated that debt will be issued in FY16 for Electric capital
projects.
Water Capital Projects
In FY16, $13,756,495 is the new appropriation included for water capital projects. The total expenditures in FY16
for Water capital projects are projected to be $8,920,485. The appropriations are intended to provide budget
authorization for the contracts that are expected to be brought to Council for approval in FY16. In some cases, the
expenditures related to these contracts may be spread across multiple fiscal years and, in those cases, the
156
appropriations for the fiscal year would exceed the anticipated expenditure for the fiscal year. The appropriations
on capital projects will carry forward into subsequent fiscal years. Water Production projects include an estimated
FY16 expenditure of $5,757,481. A total of $1,687,000 is included for the completion of design and the start of
construction on Well #9 and $1,143,000 is included for the Well #9 Collection Line. As capacity needs grow, the
City is preparing for the construction of new wells. It is anticipated that the construction of well #9 and the well #9
collection line will begin in FY16 with completion scheduled for FY17. An estimated $92,150 is included in FY16
for the completion of 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.
In addition, $501,526 is the FY16 estimate included in the budget for the completion of 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 $1,248,055 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.
Several projects are included in Water Production related to rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. An estimate of
$705,000 has been included for the Recoating of the Park Place Storage Tank. This project is for the
replacement of the paint coating system and for some minor welding repairs to the interior of the water tank. Also
included is an estimate of $280,000 in FY16 for the Rehabilitation of a Transfer Pump. This project is for
corrective maintenance activities and replacement of components as needed for one low service vertical turbine
pump and motor. An estimate of $82,000 has been included for the Longmire/2818 Valve Replacement project.
This project consists of removing an existing 18" valve and replacing it with two new valves in strategic locations
that will allow for fewer service disruptions during potential repairs on the existing waterline. An additional valve
will also be installed along the same waterline, near Valley View Drive and Texas Avenue.
In addition, an estimate of $18,750 has been included in FY16 to identify long-term facility programming
needs. It is anticipated that a consultant will be used to assist with this effort. This cost will be shared by the
Water, Wastewater and Electric Funds.
Funds in the amount of $1,200,106 are projected to be expended on Water Distribution projects in FY16. This
includes $200,000 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 $135,000 has been included in FY16 for the Sweetwater Forest Water Line Extension project. This project
is for the extension of a 12" water distribution line to serve the existing Sweetwater Forest Phase I subdivision.
Two projects have been included in the FY16 budget for the extension of water lines along State Highway 6. The
first is the State Highway 6 Waterline Phase I (State Highway 40 to Venture) and the second is the State
Highway 6 Waterline Phase II (Creagor Line to State Highway 40). These lines are needed to help address
increased demand. The Lakeway Waterline Extension project is also included in FY16. This project is for the
construction of an approximately 5,600 linear foot of 12-inch diameter water distribution system line along the
potential projection of Lakeway Drive. Lastly, $125,000 is estimated for Miscellaneous Water Rehabilitation
projects that may arise throughout the fiscal year.
Rehabilitation projects included in the FY16 Approved Budget include $491,000 for design completion and the
start of construction on the Eastgate Rehabilitation project. Construction is estimated to start in FY16 and be
completed in 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 repair of existing aging
streets in the respective project area. Several other utility rehabilitation projects are also included in the FY16
estimated expenditures. These include the Luther Street Rehabilitation project, the Munson Street
Rehabilitation project and Francis Drive Rehabilitation project. The utility line rehabilitation on these projects
is being completed in coordination with the corresponding street rehabilitation projects.
157
Contingency in the amount of $150,000 has been included in the FY16 Approved Budget. These funds will be
available for use on unanticipated projects as well as to offset project overruns. The FY16 budget includes an
estimated debt issue in the amount of $8,910,000 for water capital projects.
Wastewater Capital Projects
In FY16, $7,846,065 is the new appropriation included for wastewater capital projects. The total expenditures in
FY16 for Wastewater capital projects are projected to be $8,298,975. Appropriations from prior years carry
forward on capital projects and additional appropriations may be added each year as the projects progress. The
FY16 projected expenditures exceed the FY16 appropriations as the projected expenditures include
appropriations from prior years. Wastewater Collection projects include $200,000 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. An estimate of $624,511 has been included in FY16 for the
design of Lick Creek Parallel Trunk Line Phase I. This project is for the design and construction of a parallel or
replacement trunk line from the southern boundary of Pebble Creek Subdivision to the Lick Creek Wastewater
Treatment Plant. In addition, an estimate of $2,067,100 is included in FY16 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
FY19.
Rehabilitation projects included in the FY16 Approved Budget include $581,000 for design completion and the
start of construction on the Eastgate Rehabilitation project. Construction is estimated to start in FY16 and be
completed in 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. Other utility rehabilitation projects are also
included in the FY16 estimated expenditures. These include Munson Street Rehabilitation project and Francis
Drive Rehabilitation project. The utility line rehabilitation on these projects is being completed in coordination
with the corresponding street rehabilitation projects.
Funds in the amount of $4,071,802 have been estimated in FY16 for Treatment and Disposal projects. An
estimate of $695,000 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. Construction of these improvements is expected to begin in FY16 and be
completed in FY17. In addition, a FY16 estimate of $300,000 is included 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 $247,686 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.
Other Treatment and Disposal projects include a FY16 estimate of $742,000 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 FY16 is $55,000 for the Replacement of a Wastewater Disinfection Controller at the Lick
Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. This project is for equipment and technical assistance from the system
manufacturer to replace the existing programmable logic controller (PLC) for the Lick Creek Wastewater
Treatment Plant ultra-violet (UV) disinfection system. This component of the UV system has reached its expected
service life and needs to be replaced before it fails. This component is critical to the automatic and remote
operation of the disinfection system.
158
Several General Plant project are included in the FY16 Approved Budget. These include an estimate of $180,116
for SCADA at the New Lift Stations. This project was created to fund the integration of new lift stations to the
SCADA system. In addition, an estimate of $1,027,000 is included for the Carters Creek Electrical
Improvements project. This project is for the replacement of the Motor Control Centers (MCC's) for Plants 2 and
3. Also included in the FY16 budget is an estimate of $18,750 to identify long-term facility programming needs.
It is anticipated that a consultant will be used to assist with this effort. This cost will be shared by the Water,
Wastewater and Electric Funds.
Two projects related to land acquisition have also been included in the FY16 budget. These projects are intended
for the purchase of land to serve as buffers around the treatment plants. An estimate of $300,000 has been
included for the purchase of land surrounding the Carter Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and $356,250 has
been included for the purchase of land surrounding the Lick Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Lastly, $150,000 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 FY16 Approved Budget. These funds will be
available for use on unanticipated projects as well as to offset project overruns. The FY16 budget also includes an
estimated $1,200,000 in current revenues that will be transferred from operations to fund Wastewater capital
projects. It is not anticipated that debt will be issued in FY16 for Wastewater 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
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 FY16 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.
As outlined in Chapter 351 of the Tax Code, 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. State of Texas
House Bill 3629 was passed in the 2015 Legislative Session that provides authority for the City of
College Station to use hotel tax revenue for constructing, operating, or expanding a sporting facility or
sports field owned by the municipality, if the majority of the events at the facility or field are directly
related to a sporting event in which the majority of participants are tourists who substantially increase
economic activity at hotels in the municipality.
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 FY16 budgeted Hotel Tax revenue is $5,502,000 which reflects an increase of 4% over FY15 year-end
estimate of $5,290,000. Hotel tax revenues are forecasted to increase due to a continued solid tourism economy
and the addition of several hotels. Investment earnings of $40,000 are estimated for FY16.
In FY15, proceeds from the sale of the Chimney Hill property were transferred back to the Hotel Tax Fund.
Approximately $9.3 million was transferred into the fund and are available for eligible expenditures in the Hotel
Tax Fund. Most of those funds are projected to be used for capital projects at Veterans Park and Athletic
Complex, and the still to be developed Southeast Park.
Total City operating expenditures in the Hotel Tax Fund are $5,250,049. This is a 134.55% increase from the
FY15 revised budget due to budgeting for the next phase of fields at Veterans Park in the amount of $3,673,274.
This will build two additional synthetic fields and provide other improvements to the existing athletic fields at
Veterans Park. Funds are also budgeted for the third preferred access payment to the CVB for the use of athletic
facilities at Texas A&M University. The FY16 budget for this is $510,000. The City of College Station provides
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 $557,659 for expenditures related to Parks
and Recreation Programs & Events. Programs in the budget include expenditures related to athletic events such
as 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 FY16 budget. The
first SLA request is for $50,000 for bid requirements for hosting the U.S. Youth Soccer Presidents Cup and the
ASA/USA 16 and under National Championship. A second SLA requests $10,000 for funds to host the 2016
Texas Recreation and Parks Society Central Region annual conference and maintenance rodeo. The third SLA
requests $25,000 for the replacement of the Veterans Park Memorial kiosk. The new kiosk will provide visitors to
171
the memorial a touch screen database to locate friends and family on the Louis L. Adams Memorial Plaza & Wall
of Honor. The fourth SLA requests $22,500 to pay for one half of the costs associated with replacing the
scoreboards at Brian Bachmann and Wayne Smith Parks. The other half of this request is approved to be funded
out of the General Fund in the Parks and Recreation Budget. The fifth SLA is for $30,000 to purchase speaker
system to be used at Veterans Park for the outside tourism based events held at the park.
Other City operating expenditures budgeted in FY16 include $300,000 for soliciting and hosting of sports
tournaments in College Station. This is an increase of $100,000 from FY15. 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 were redistributed to Public Communications and Marketing to be used for advertising the
City to encourage visitors to come to College Station. Also included is $80,000 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 is 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 also 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 $2,810,755 of Hotel Tax funding is in the FY16 Budget for Outside Agencies. This includes $1,727,855
for the Bryan/College Station Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) for operational, sales/marketing, promotional,
servicing and business development elements; $350,000 for the CVB Grant Program; $200,000 for Easterwood
Airport Advertising; $96,500 for Arts Council operations and maintenance; $348,400 to Arts Council for affiliate
funding and $38,000 for marketing and public arts support; $25,000 to Veterans Memorial; and $25,000 for the
Bryan/College Station Chamber of Commerce.

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 FY16 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 FY16 Approved Budget include $1,535,279 in Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds and $787,047 in HOME Investment Partnership Grant (HOME) funds.
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 FY16 include street and sidewalk projects. An estimate of $417,511 is included for the Nimitz
Street Rehabilitation project. This project is for the rehabilitation of Nimitz Street from Lincoln Avenue to Ash
Street. The approved design is for a standard two-lane local street with sidewalk. An estimate of $61,204 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. Funds
are included in FY16 for Eisenhower Street Sidewalks ($197,300), Live Oak Street Sidewalks ($149,190), and
Cross Street ADA Sidewalks ($127,009). Overall, approved FY16 Public Facility appropriations total $952,214.

The Wolf Pen Creek (WPC) TIF Fund accounts for ad valorem tax and other revenues that are accrued to the WPC TIF District. The
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 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 TIF expired on December 31,2009. Therefore, no ad valorem revenue is estimated to be received in FY16. In years past, the
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).
The fund balance includes a total of $1,235,044 for a future payment to College Station Independent School District for the balance
of the school district's portion of unspent WPC TIF funds.

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 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 FY16, an estimated $181,652 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 FY16. Therefore, the FY16 ending fund balance is projected to
increase 68% over the projected FY15 ending fund balance.

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 FY16, it is anticipated that $822 in ad
valorem tax will be collected in the East Medical District TIRZ #19. No expenditures are projected for FY16.
Therefore, the FY16 ending fund balance is projected to increase 42% over the projected FY15 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 $61,088 in FY16. 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.
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 FY16 fund revenues are $61,262. Approved revenues include a $17,000 general and
administrative transfer from the General Fund in order to maintain a positive ending fund balance for
FY16. Approved expenditures are $79,840 for court security personnel.
The FY16 ending fund balance is anticipated to decrease 94% when compared to the FY15 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. The fund balance in the Court
Security Fee Fund will be monitored closely in future years.
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 FY16 total $6,673. Approved expenditures in FY16 total
$11,160, of which $7,000 is attributed to an SLA that will fund increased TxDOT batch inquiries and
postage. The base budgeted amount of $4,160 will be used to interface court system software with
Texas Department of Transportation and 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
181
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 $74,089 in FY16. Approved FY16
expenditures in the amount of $111,433 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 FY16 approved budget also includes $1,065 for the training and recognition of Teen Court
volunteers.
The FY16 ending fund balance is anticipated to decrease 15% when compared to the FY15 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 intervention
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, or courts costs required by city ordinance,
state, or federal law. Approved revenues in FY16 total $12,785. A $5,000 expenditures budget is
approved for FY16 in order to fund training and travel, and printing and postage expenses associated with
this fund.
The FY16 ending fund balance is anticipated to increase 37% when compared to the FY15 estimated
ending fund balance. This is due to revenues increasing from last year and the fund having no related
expenditures in FY14 or FY15. Furthermore, FY16 approved expenditures are less than anticipated
revenues.

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.
Hotel Tax Fund Capital Projects
Included in the FY16 Approved Budget is an estimate of $3,673,274 for the construction of phase I of the Build-
Out of the Veterans Park and Athletic Complex. The project will include the construction of two additional
synthetic turf fields at Veterans Park along with parking and lighting to support the new fields. The synthetic turf
fields will provide an all-weather playing surface that can be used immediately following a rain event. In addition,
spectator areas and amenities will be added to these fields and to several existing fields as part of this project.
The project will be funded using Hotel Tax funds as the project is anticipated to result in a significant number of
196
individuals coming from outside of the community to play in tournaments held on these fields. The fields will be
able to facilitate sports such as soccer, football, lacrosse, and a myriad of other sports events.
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 FY16 estimate of $534,415 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 FY16 projected expenditures account for the use of the balance of this debt. An estimate of $200,000 is
included in FY16 for Minor Drainage Improvement projects. These funds are used for minor unscheduled
drainage projects that may arise throughout the fiscal year. An estimated $130,971 is included in FY16 for the
completion of 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 $38,714 are estimated in FY16 for the completion of 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 is being 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 $21,000 is included for the completion of 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. An estimate of $435,000 is included in the FY16 budget for the Southwest Parkway Storm Drain
Replacement project. The existing storm drain is at the end of its service life and needs to be replaced.
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 FY16 Parks and Recreation base budget for estimated O&M costs associated
with the recently completed synthetic fields at Veterans Park. These funds will be used for utility costs associated
with the lighting of the fields. Budget for the maintenance of the fields was included in prior years’ budgets and will
carry forward in the FY16 budget. The budget needs for the O&M costs that are anticipated for Park Land
Dedication projects will be evaluated as part of the FY17 budget preparation. It is projected that additional O&M
budget will not be needed for the Drainage CIP projects estimated for FY16, as these projects are generally
related to the improvement of existing infrastructure.
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 FY16, 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 2014 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 approved premium revenue for FY16 is $999,428. Approved investment earnings are
$12,329 and other revenues, including subrogation, are projected to be $5,000. The total approved revenues for
the Property & Casualty Insurance Fund are $1,016,757. Approved expenditures in this fund are $1,106,087. This
includes two SLAs. The first is for funding of 50% of a Safety/Security Position, which will add $36,704 of recurring
expenses to the budget. The other 50% is budgeted in the Worker’s Compensation Fund. The second SLA is for a
one-time expense of $13,000 for security upgrades to City Hall.
Employee Benefits Fund
Approved revenues in the Employee Benefits Fund are $10,158,559. This includes a 5% increase in employee
Health Insurance premiums. This increase is necessary to help offset rising claims costs. The FY16 approved
budget also includes an estimate of $550,000 for the establishment of an Employee Health Clinic. This health
clinic would provide acute and preventive primary care, occupational medicine, workers’ compensation and
wellness services. Services would be available to City health plan-enrolled employees, dependents and retirees,
to encourage wellness and pro-active medical intervention and treatment. In addition, included in the FY16 budget
is $300,000 for an Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust. The approved expenditures for the Employee
Benefits Fund are $11,600,168. The FY16 ending working capital in this fund is projected to decrease 20.89%
when compared to the FY15 estimated ending working capital. This is due to the addition of SLA items in FY16 as
well as projected increased claim costs.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance Fund
Budgeted premiums are based on the actual amounts charged to departments to cover the City’s Workers
Compensation costs. In FY16, approved revenues are $559,614 and approved expenditures are $675,670. The
only SLA in this fund is for $36,704, which is to fund 50% of a Safety/Security Position. The other 50% is
budgeted in the Property & Casualty Fund.
Unemployment Insurance Fund
Revenues in this fund are collected based as a percentage of each employee’s salary. Total FY16 approved
revenues, including premium costs and investment earnings, are $32,736. Claims costs in the amount of $50,000
are budgeted in FY16.

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 provide a way for the City to run the same application on multiple servers
without purchasing additional hardware. Purchases were budgeted in the Equipment Replacement Fund
beginning in FY14. FY15 was 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 FY16, $2,043,378 is approved for new fleet purchases as follows: Police Department for $30,000 to purchase
a vehicle for Criminal Investigations Division; Fire Department $1,400,000 to purchase a ladder truck for Fire
Station No. 6; Parks & Recreation $23,500 to purchase a Kromer No-Ramp Trailer and Bobcat Skidsteer
Attachments; Sanitation $277,408 for a Rear Loader truck in the Residential Division; Electric $150,000 for a
small Bucket Truck; Water Department $83,865 to purchase a Vacuum Excavator and Service Truck;
Wastewater $78,605 to purchase a Gator Off-Road Vehicle, a Tow-Behind Sewer Unit, and to upgrade a vehicle
on the replacement list for FY16 (reference #9556).
A trade-in is anticipated on some vehicle purchases, and that 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 pages that follow.
The FY16 Equipment Replacement ending working capital is expected to increase by 34.49% from the estimated
FY15 ending working capital due to anticipated contributions increases from the departments. The working capital
in the Equipment Replacement Fund fluctuates from year to year based on the vehicles that are up for
replacement. A six-year fund forecast is prepared to ensure that the Fund has sufficient working capital to
accommodate the scheduled replacements.

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 2014 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 FY16, total estimated revenues in the Fleet Maintenance Fund are forecasted to be $2,134,012.
Approved revenue includes $18,500 in SLAs related to fleet additions.
The approved FY16 Fleet Maintenance expenditures are $2,067,902. This includes a $37,200 SLA for
tire mounting machines, balancers, and accessories needed to continue to perform maintenance and
repairs on light and heavy vehicles and equipment. A second SLA in the amount of $9,090 is included for
an increase in overtime due the increase in the size of the fleet, managing damaged vehicles, and
completing daily preventative maintenance. In addition, the Fleet Services department responds to
emergency after-hours calls which requires the use of overtime.
The FY16 budgeted ending working capital is anticipated to increase 35.91% when compared to the
FY15 estimated ending working capital due to a budgeted increase in fleet charges revenue in order to
meet the needs of the fund.

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
2014 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 $2,331,974 are approved for FY16.
FY16 approved expenditures are $2,356,974. Two SLAs are included in the approved budget. The first SLA, in
the amount $38,627, is for the addition of one Full Time Senior Customer Service Representative for Collections.
This position will help ensure that a high level of customer service is maintained, as well as decrease delays in
billings caused by a shortage of manpower in that department. This will increase the total FTE count in the Utility
Customer Service Fund by 1.0 FTE. The second SLA will fund year 2 of 3 of the Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) Process Documentation, which will provide contract services to assist with documenting new processes as
part of the system implementation. This will be a one-time expenditure of $25,000.

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
(1) In-Lieu-of-Franchise Fee - The in-lieu-of-franchise fee will be calculated based on kWh usage at a
rate of that would equate to an approximate 6.9% franchise fee. The final total transfer amount will not
exceed 6.9% 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.
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.
F-5 Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements
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.

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

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

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.

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.

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
City has anticipated the useful life of such equipment and established a means of charging the cost of replacement of

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

funds. Remaining balances are maintained to meet contingencies and to make certain that the next year’s debt
service payments may be met in a timely manner. The fund balance should not fall below 8 1/3% (one month) of
average budgeted expenditures (in line with IRS guidelines).

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. Five SLAs are approved for: $50,000 for bid
requirements for hosting the U.S. Youth Soccer Presidents Cup and the ASA / USA 16U National
Championship in 2016; $10,000 to host the 2016 Texas Recreation and Parks Society Central
Region annual workshop and maintenance rodeo; $25,000 SLA will be used for Veterans Park
Memorial KIOSK replacement for Louis L. Adams Memorial Plaza & Wall of Honor; $22,500 for
baseball scoreboards at Bachmann and Wayne Smith parks; and $30,000 for Veterans Park
connectivity speaker system. 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. 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. There is an approved one-time SLA to transfer $500,000 to Economic Development
for incentive payments to be determined.
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.

General Fund Transfers and Other (Sources) Uses
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 FY16
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
General Fund is approved for funding of the ACBV operations and maintenance and Noon Lions Club
is approved for $15,000 in FY16 for costs associated with the annual community 4th of July celebration.
General Fund Outside Agency funding also includes funding of $205,000 for the Aggieland Humane
Society, $326,500 for the Brazos County Health District and $280,253 for payments to Brazos Central
Appraisal District for funding allotments based on 2014 levies. The total approved FY16 Outside
Agency funding from the General Fund is $1,211,753.
A total of $2,810,755 of Hotel Tax funding is approved in FY16 Budget for Outside Agencies. This
includes $1,727,855 for the Bryan/College Station Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) for operational,
sales/marketing, promotional, servicing and business development elements; $350,000 for the CVB
Grant Program; $96,500 for Arts Council operations and maintenance; $348,400 to Arts Council for
affiliate funding and $38,000 for marketing and public arts support; $25,000 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.
Funding in the amount of $56,690 is approved in the Sanitation Fund for Keep Brazos Beautiful (KBB).
Funding will be used for operations, the Demonstration Garden at the Texas Ave & George Bush site
along with beautification and litter abatement. KBB promotes litter abatement and beautification
programs throughout the Brazos Valley thus supporting one of the Sanitation Department’s primary
objectives.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) eligible agencies have a selection process via the Joint
Relief Funding Review Committee (JRFRC). This committee is made up of members from 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 $135,474 is for CDBG eligible
organizations listed on the following page.
Total approved FY16 Outside Agency funding by the City of College Station is $4,214,672.
