RE: Facilities Inventory
This Booklet is the collection of all the information
compiled by the various divisions on existing facilities. The
facilities listed herein include the visible infrastructure of
the city with the exception of streets. The underground
infrastructure and the streets were considered so extensive that
it was decided that they not be included in this inventory. If
that type inventory is needed it could be compiled at some later
date. I want to take this opportunity to personally thank each
one of the employees responsible for the collection of this data,
I am sure it will prove to be of value in the future.

This facility supports the operations of three major divisions: Street
Maintenance, Sanitation Collection, and the Municipal Garage. In addition
to the main structure, the property serves as a material storage yard,
heavy -equipment housing area, and a surplus stock storage area. Bond
monies have already been approved for renovation of the Service Center
Complex and a proposal to authorize architectural work for renovation will
soon be presented to Council. The major needs to be addressed by the
renovation are as follows:
1. Enclosed two existing vehicle repair bays (currently used for oil &
tire change) and add two new bays to increase the number of break -down
maintenance bays from three to eight. This would add approximately
2000 s.f. to the current footage under roof and would meet repair bay
needs through a 15 year planning frame.
2. New preventative maintenance building (7,000 s.f.). This improvement
would replace the loss of the above 2 bays, add two more for a total
of four bays dedicated to and specifically designed for efficient
preventative maintenance servicing. Additionally, this simple
structure would include separate areas for both welding and painting
operations.
3. New covered parking area (12,000 s.£.). This structure would protect
heavy equipment from wear and damage caused by unnecessary exposure to
weather.
4. Concrete paving, exterior paving and lights. These improvements will
improve on -site drainage and equipment handling safety as well as
improve security for these extraordinarily valuable City assets.
-4-
5. Construct add -on abutting restrocm (360 s.f.) and interior renovation
consisting of repartitioning work areas, customer service area, and
constructing employee training and break area.
6. Landscape and screen grounds and refurbish building facade. This
improvement will ensure that the facility is compatible with area
land -use and conforms to College Station aesthetics standards.

The Chamber of Commerce occupied the site in 1976 and the
pond was used as a picnic area and a gathering spot for people
to see the ducks and go fishing. When the Chamber of Commerce
moved in 1984 the City of College Station used the property
for the development of a new police station which in the
process had to fill in over half of the pond for a new
parking lot. In 1987, the remaining pond was renovated and a
jogging trail, pavilion, aerator, and two piers were added
to give this park a pleasant, enjoyable atmosphere to play and
relax in. Cy Miller Park was dedicated to Clarence Ivan
