5. Presentation, possible action, and discussion concerning the City Internal Auditor’s
Bryan-College Station Convention & Visitors Bureau Audit.
Ty Elliott, Internal Auditor, reported this is the third audit of the Convention & Visitors Bureau,
the first occurring in 2011 and a follow up audit in 2012. Accounting procedures have improved
since the 2011 audit. The CVB has a relatively large amount of liquid assets. The CVB’s direct
impact on bringing events to the College Station and Bryan area has not significantly changed
since the 2011 audit. The CVB’s expenditures have increased since the 2011 audit, especially in
marketing and personnel. Also, CVB staff travel frequently within and out of state for marketing
and professional development purposes, and these funds appear to be spent in areas that yield fewer
results. Employee turnover at the CVB appears to be high – 29%. Some of the CVB’s strategic
goals appear disconnected from their mission. Finally, there may be some inherent risk with the
dynamic of the CVB’s governance structure. He presented six audit recommendations:
1. Take steps to reach a reasonable liquidity ratio.
2. Consider implementing job costing procedures to better understand allocation of resources
and cost structure of the CVB.
3. Reevaluate the costs and benefits of expenditures.
4. Strategic direction should be determined by the CVB’s goals and objectives, and
measurable objectives should be created to guide strategic development.
5. Utilize the DMAI Calculator as an internal device to assist in decision making regarding
event selection and staff effort in pursuing event opportunities.
WKSHP051616 Minutes Page 3
6. Consider emphasizing Board engagement with CVB strategy development and the
formation of an advisory committee.
6. Presentation, possible action, and discussion on an update on the status of the design of
the Police Facility.
Chuck Gilman, Deputy City Manager, noted that the Council approved a contract with PGAL for
the design a new police facility to be located on the south east corner of the intersection of
Dartmouth and Krenek Tap. Since design began, staff has updated the site plan based on some
feedback received to date. Staff is seeking clarification from the Council on the size of the facility,
the desire to include Fire Administration in the new facility, and the interest in potentially
modifying the Krenek Tap Overlay to allow for the development of the site to better accommodate
a police facility. Possible modifications to the Krenek Tap Overlay include parking, setbacks,
landscaping, etc.
Council consensus was to establish the size of the facility at 79,000 square feet, and have staff
return with proposed modifications to the overlay for Council review/approval. Council agreed
with staff’s recommendation to keep Fire Administration on its current location.
7. Council Calendar
Council reviewed the calendar.
8. Presentation, possible action, and discussion on future agenda items: a Councilmember

1. Describe the threats and hazards that create the need for the project. Include reference to
page(s) of regional or state THIRA:
The Brazos Valley Region faces a variety of potential threats, hazards, and vulnerabilities from multiple
sources. The region regularly experiences vulnerabilities to man-made emergencies or accidents such as
hazardous material exposures, industrial emergencies, shootings, or terrorism. These hazards are
exponentially increased due to being the home of Texas A&M University which brings in lOOK plus
visitors for sporting events in a single day. The College Station Fire Department continues to face the
challenge of acquiring grant funding for equipment and training which creates in accordance with
national standards and guidelines.
2. Describe the capability gap(s) which will be addressed by the project. Include reference to
page(s) of the regional or state SPR, If you list the Core Capability Gap it addresses the
Homeland Security Planner will identify the reference pages:
The project and strategies in this investment are intended to address vulnerabilities from the
2014 Regional THIRA, SPR, and Strategic Plan. An assessment of the College Station Fire
Department revealed gaps in communications on scene with accountability, direction and
control, creating vulnerabilities in hazard containment, situational awareness, intelligence and
information sharing. Environmental Response/Health and Safety Core Capability; Within the
first 2 hours following an incident, conduct health and safety hazard assessments and
disseminate guidance and resources to include deploying 2 HAZMAT teams to support
environmental health and safety actions for 300 of response personnel, and 100,000 residents
and visitors, 100 PAFN, and 22 animals across an impacted area of 5 square miles.
2
3. Explain how the project will reduce the capability gap(s) identified in the SPR:
The proposed investment supports the regional homeland security goal to enhance the College Station
Fire Department to respond to the consequences of a CBRNE/WMD incident where local resources are
not available or are inadequately trained. The equipment purchased for the solution will be fully
compatible with the Texas Strategic Plan, NIMS Typing for HAZMAT Teams, Swift Water Rescue and Fire
response, and NIMS capability requirements. Furthermore it increases the Brazos Valley Regional THIRA
Core Capabilities of Introduction and Disruption, On-Scene Security and Protection, and Screening,
Search, and Detection by increasing the level of response capabilities before, during, and after a WMD,
IED, or Hazmat event. Technological improvements in processing and remote operations will vastly
improve the capabilities and speed with which technicians can identify and mitigate HAZMAT hazards
minimizing This investment will also contribute to building and sustaining capabilities and assist in
preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and responding to incidents or acts of terrorism, by
increasing immediate operational command and control during terrorist events.
4. Explain the long-term approach to sustaining the capabilities developed by this project to
include the need for future grant funding. Note: If the project is a "Service", "Software as a
Service", "Internet/Satellite Subscription" that supports the region it will be considered a
sustainable project.
The College Station Fire Department will address new challenges as appropriate to aid in facilitating
appropriate HAZMAT-related and other technical fire department responses and public safety. This
investment will contribute to building and sustaining capabilities and assist in preventing, preparing for,
protecting against, and responding to incidents or acts of terrorism. College Station will sustain a
coordinated approach to preparedness by supporting continuous planning, training, and exercises within
the region.
3
5. Describe existing capability levels and what is or will be in place to support the Investment
prior to the use of these grant funds if awarded:
College Station Fire Department has purchased and tested two hotspots to test the operational level of
this interoperable communications equipment. We have concluded that this technology is needed on
each vehicle to sustain the transfer of information to all levels within and outside the city. College
Station can field varying capabilities that can be brought to bear in the prevention of, protections from,
response to and recovery from terrorism attacks, Hazardous Materials incidents, and Hostage
Negotiations. The hotspot technology allows any device within range of a vehicle to tap into Wi-Fi and
pass information to all levels, different agencies that are responding, and to hospitals. Vital information
can be passed to anyone that has a need to receive the information to include requesting resources
from the state or federal government.
6. Provide an explanation of the regional and/or statewide impact of this project:
This investment supports the Brazos Valley Region, which consists of 7 counties, 28 law enforcement
agencies, 64 fire departments, and 16 EMS departments connected via mutual aid agreements and
Memoranda of Understanding (MO Us) within the Region. The proposed investment supports the
regional homeland security Goal to enhance the designated regional team (College Station) to respond
to the consequences of a CBRNE/WMD or HAZMAT incident where local resources are not available or
are inadequately trained.
Project Narrative
4
The College Station Fire Department is required to have reliable communications for its mission critical
applications. Today, that includes a reliable and robust connection to a cellular-data infrastructure.
These mobile devices would provide the network connections to Ambulances and Fire suppression units
to relay vital information to hospitals and display real time vehicle location to dispatch and field
personnel.
Vehicle tracking and real time location data can instantly provide the dispatch center with the closest
unit(s) saving time and resources.
These devices would ensure that essential resources and critical information are deployed to field
personnel.
Selected Fire or EMS vehicles would have one mobile network device installed in the unit and setup to
connect to field computers/tablets. These connections would also allow for two-way data and
information sharing from dispatch.
Problem Statement
7. Provide a detailed account of the issues your project will target. This needs to be done in plain
language. For example: If the project effects Operational Awareness or Command and Control
stating, "This project increases Command and Control and Facilitates Operational Awareness"
will need to be defined. The project increases Operational Awareness and Command and
Control, which allows leadership to identify, process, and comprehend the critical elements of
information and what is happening during an event. Thus increasing Fire/Law/EMS safety while
protecting life and property.
College Station Fire Department will respond to Terrorist and Hazmat threats that may occur in the
Brazos Valley Region. Having the hotspots on department vehicle aids in the command and control
aspect in any response for any incident. This allows leadership from not only College Station; but any
agency or organization to process and comprehend the critical elements of information from the
incident commander during a response. Thus increasing responder and citizen safety while protecting
life and property.
Supporting Data

The City of College Station Ordinance Chapter 15, Impact Fees, designates the

and monitoring of proposed and existing impact fees. More specifically, the Advisory
Committee is established to:
1. Advise and assist the City in adopting Land Use assumptions.
2. Review the Capital Improvements Plan and file written comments.
3. Monitor and evaluate implementation of the Capital Improvements Plan.
4. File semi-annual reports with respect to the progress of the Capital
Improvements Plan.
5. Advise the City Council of the need to update or revise the Land Use
Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan, and Impact Fees.
Currently the City of College Station has five impact fees in existence of which all
associated construction is complete. As noted, all five of the impact fees underwent a

Presentation, possible action, and discussion concerning the passage and approval of an ordinance
of the City of College Station, Texas, approving a negotiated settlement between the Atmos Cities
Steering Committee ("ACSC") and Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division, regarding the Company's
2016 rate review mechanism filings and approving a settlement agreement with attached rate tariffs
and proof of revenues.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
·Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
Summary: The City, along with other similarly situated cities served by Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex
Division (“Atmos Mid-Tex” or “Company”), is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee
(“ACSC”). The RRM Tariff was originally adopted by ACSC member cities in 2007 as an alternative
to the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program (“GRIP”), the statutory provision that allows Atmos to
bypass the City’s rate regulatory authority to increase its rates annually to recover capital
investments. The RRM Tariff has been modified several times, most recently in 2013.
The 2016 RRM filing is the fourth RRM filing under the renewed RRM Tariff. On March 1,
2016, Atmos made a filing requesting $35.4 million additional revenues on a system-wide basis.
Because the City of Dallas has a separate rate review process, exclusion of Dallas results in the
Company requesting $28.6 million from other municipalities.
Environs customers (ratepayers outside municipal limits) remain under the Railroad
Commission’s exclusive original jurisdiction and have their rates set through the GRIP process. If the

Company had used the GRIP process rather than the RRM process it would have received a $41
million increase, or about $11 million more than will be approved by the Ordinance. ACSC and the
Company have reached an agreement, reflected in the Ordinance, to reduce the Company’s request

APPLICABLE TO:ALL CUSTOMERS IN THE MID-TEX DIVISION EXCEPT THE CITY OF
DALLAS AND UNINCORPORATED AREAS
EFFECTIVE DATE:Bills Rendered on or after 11/01/2016 PAGE: 41
Provisions for Adjustment
The Commodity Charge per Ccf (100 cubic feet) for gas service set forth in any Rate Schedules utilized
by the cities of the Mid-Tex Division service area for determining normalized winter period revenues shall
be adjusted by an amount hereinafter described, which amount is referred to as the "Weather
Normalization Adjustment." The Weather Normalization Adjustment shall apply to all temperature
sensitive residential and commercial bills based on meters read during the revenue months of November
through April. The five regional weather stations are Abilene, Austin, Dallas, Waco, and Wichita Falls.
Computation of Weather Normalization Adjustment
The Weather Normalization Adjustment Factor shall be computed to the nearest one-hundredth cent
per Ccf by the following formula:
(HSFi x (NDD-ADD) )
WNAFi =Ri
(BLi +(HSFi x ADD) )
Where
i =any particular Rate Schedule or billing classification within any such
particular Rate Schedule that contains more than one billing classification
WNAFi = Weather Normalization Adjustment Factor for the ith rate schedule or
classification expressed in cents per Ccf
Ri =Commodity Charge rate of temperature sensitive sales for the ith schedule or
classification.
HSFi =heat sensitive factor for the ith schedule or classification divided by the
average bill count in that class
NDD =billing cycle normal heating degree days calculated as the simple ten-year
average of actual heating degree days.
ADD =billing cycle actual heating degree days.
Bli =base load sales for the ith schedule or classification divided by the average
bill count in that class
The Weather Normalization Adjustment for the jth customer in ith rate schedule is computed as:
WNAi =WNAFi x qij
Where qij is the relevant sales quantity for the jth customer in ith rate schedule.

STAFF REPORT
The City, along with other similarly situated cities served by Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex
Division (“Atmos Mid-Tex” or “Company”), is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee
(“ACSC”). The RRM Tariff was originally adopted by ACSC member cities in 2007 as an
alternative to the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program (“GRIP”), the statutory provision that
allows Atmos to bypass the City’s rate regulatory authority to increase its rates annually to recover
capital investments. The RRM Tariff has been modified several times, most recently in 2013.
The 2016 RRM filing is the fourth RRM filing under the renewed RRM Tariff. On March 1,
2016, Atmos made a filing requesting $35.4 million additional revenues on a system-wide basis.
Because the City of Dallas has a separate rate review process, exclusion of Dallas results in the
Company requesting $28.6 million from other municipalities.
Environs customers (ratepayers outside municipal limits) remain under the Railroad
Commission’s exclusive original jurisdiction and have their rates set through the GRIP process. If
the Company had used the GRIP process rather than the RRM process it would have received a $41
million increase, or about $11 million more than will be approved by the Ordinance. ACSC and
the Company have reached an agreement, reflected in the Ordinance, to reduce the Company’s
request by $5.5 million, such that the Ordinance approving new rates reflects an increase of $29.9
million on a system-wide basis, or $21.9 million for Mid-Tex Cities, exclusive of the City of Dallas.
The tariffs attached to the Ordinance approve rates that will increase the Company’s
revenues by $29.9 million for the Mid-Tex Rate Division, effective for bills rendered on or after
June 1, 2016. The monthly residential customer charge will be $19.10. The consumption charge
will be $0.11378 per Ccf. The monthly bill impact for the typical residential customer consuming
46.8 Ccf will be an increase of $1.26, or about 2.43%. The typical commercial customer will see an
increase of $3.81, or 1.43%. Attached to this Model Staff Report is a summary of the impact of
new rates on the average bills of all customer classes.
The ACSC Executive Committee and its designated legal counsel and consultants
recommend that all Cities adopt the Ordinance with its attachments approving the negotiated rate
settlement resolving the 2016 RRM filing, and implementing the rate change.
Explanation of “Be It Ordained” Sections:
1.This section approves all findings in the Ordinance.
2.This section finds the settled amount of $29.9 million to be a comprehensive settlement of
gas utility rate issues arising from Atmos Mid-Tex’s 2016 RRM filing, and that such
settlement is in the public interest and is consistent with the City’s statutory authority.
3.This section finds the existing Atmos Mid-Tex rates to be unreasonable, and approves the
new tariffed rates providing for additional revenues over currently-billed rates of $29.9
million and adopts the attached new rate tariffs (Attachment A).
7088114.1 2
4.This section establishes the baseline for pensions and other post-employment benefits for
future rate cases (Attachment C).
5.This section requires the Company to reimburse Cities for reasonable ratemaking costs
associated with reviewing and processing the RRM filing.
6.This section repeals any resolution or ordinance that is inconsistent with this Ordinance.
7.This section finds that the meeting was conducted in compliance with the Texas Open
Meetings Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 551.
8.This section is a savings clause, which provides that if any section(s) is later found to be
unconstitutional or invalid, that finding shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remaining
provisions of this Ordinance. This section further directs that the remaining provisions of
the Ordinance are to be interpreted as if the offending section or clause never existed.
9.This section provides for an effective date upon passage which, according to the Cities’
ordinance that adopted the RRM process, is June 1, 2016.
10. This paragraph directs that a copy of the signed Ordinance be sent to a representative of the
Company and legal counsel for the Steering Committee.

Summary:REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is designated on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as Urban. The Comprehensive Plan
states that this designation is for areas that should have the most intense level of development
which includes townhomes. The proposed zoning would allow for townhome development
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

File #:16-0308,Version:1
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The property immediately to the northwest across
Cain Road is developed with fourplex homes. Properties to the northeast and southwest are
developed as single-family homes, however, this area is designated for urban density in the
future. To the south is a planned townhome development that will incorporate the subject
property. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the existing and future land use character of
this area.
3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment:The property will be
incorporated with the townhome development to the south with access to existing street network.
The subject property is suitable for the proposed townhome expansion as permitted in the T
Townhome zoning district.
4.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The property is
currently zoned for MF Multi-Family. The property is suitable for multi-family development,
however, the Barracks II townhome development is proposing expansion to this area.
5.Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:The subject
property is marketable with its current zoning of MF Multi-Family, however, the requested
rezoning allows for the extension of the Barracks II townhome development.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service will be provided by Wellborn
Special Utility District. The subject property is located in the Steeplechase Wellborn Sanitary
Sewer impact fee area. The site will have sewer access via 12-inch sanitary sewer main that is
currently being constructed with the Barracks II Phase 401 plat.
The subject property is located in the Bee Creek drainage basin. The natural conveyance path is
towards Cain Road & Bee Creek Tributary B.3. Detention will be required with the development.
The property has access via Cain Road, a minor collector currently constructed to a rural section,
and will extend Towers Parkway, a minor collector, and Commando Trail, a residential street. A
Traffic Impact Analysis was performed for the previous rezoning request. This rezoning request
will generate fewer trips than the current zoning designation. Texas A&M University Transit
Services has announced transit service is expected to be provided to the area beginning in fall
2016. Transit service to the development has a positive effect on the Level of Service (LOS),
assuming a 15% trip reduction due to transit at all study intersections. The TIA did identify the
need for a left-turn lane on Holleman Drive South to Cain Road be constructed by this
development with the first access connection to Cain Road.
Drainage and other public infrastructures required with the site shall be designed and constructed
in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructures appear to
currently have capacity to adequately serve the proposed use.
