Of this amount, $119,176,064 was proposed for operations and maintenance expenditures and
$35,659,858 proposed for capital improvement projects. The budget was presented in three key
budget themes.

He stated that the proposed budget was based on the current ad valorem valuation tax of 0.4293
per $100 of assessed valuation. Total Debt Service portion is $0.2631 and General Fund portion
is $0.1662. Total tax revenues are projected to increase by 7.5% due to new value added to the
tax roll and increases in appraised values.
Mr. Kersten outlined key decision points:
· / $9 million interim CIP-3 cents, ($9 million is not included in the proposed budget)
v~ Operations and Maintenance costs associated with Veteran's Park and Phase 1 of Fire Station
//5.
,/ Expand Street Maintenance Service Levels by moving Drainage Maintenance to Drainage
Utility Fund.
The Electric and Water revenues are based on current rate structures. The proposed budget also
included a wastewater rate increase of 7%. This rate increase is needed due to the additional
debt service associated with the expansion of the Lick Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The
proposed budget also included a sanitation rate increase for commercial customers of 8%. This
increase is needed to fund an additional commercial collection route and to meet the fiscal
policies of the City.
Mr. Kersten explained that the budget must be adopted by September 27, 2001 and the tax rate

Regular Meeting
Regular Agenda Item No. 11.1 -- Public hearing~ discussion and possible action on an
ordinance rezoning 2.497 acres out of the Robert Stevenson Survey League A-P located at
4121 State Highway 6 South from C-3 Planned Commercial and A-P Administrative
Professional to C-1 General Commercial.
Staff Planner Jessica Jimmerson presented an overview of the rezoning case. The applicant has
requested this rezoning in order to prepare the property for future development. The landowner
hopes to use the property for a restaurant, however C-1 zoning would allow uses ranging from
offices, hotels to retail stores and service stations.
The subject property is located on the east side of Highway 6, and surrounded by undeveloped
C-3 Planned Commercial and land that has been in an A-O Agricultural Open holding pattern
since annexation. The 350 by 300 ft. tract is currently zoned C-3 Planned Commercial and A-P
Administrative Professional
The Thoroughfare plan showed the future Ban'on Road extension south of the subject property.
An extension of Barron Road is planned SH 6 to Rock Prairie road to include an overpass and
highway interchange. Also, a major north-south collector was planned east of the subject
property, parallel to State Highway 6. The property is located as such that it would have no
impact on the design or construction of either an overpass at Barron Road or the north-south
major collector. The design of the overpass is in the future. A future entrance ramp on State
Highway 6 will be developed in the vicinity of this tract. This will have some impact on access
to the tract; it will not create the same impacts and safety concerns as an exit ramp.
The Land Use Plan depicted this area as Regional Retail. C-1 is an appropriate zoning
classification in retail regional areas.
Veronica Morgan, Mitchell and Morgan Engineers, 511 University Drive stated that the C-1
zoning request is applicable and she concurred with staff's presentation.
Mayor McIlhaney opened the public hearing. No one spoke. She closed the public hearing.
Mayor Pro Tem Mariott made a motion approving the rezoning of 2.497 acres located at 4121
State Highway 6 South from C-3 to C-I. Motion seconded by Councilman Silvia.

applicant and Ms. Morgan had an opportunity to discuss and consider C-B Zoning as suggested

Zoning Ordinance amendment reinstating the PDD, a Subdivision Regulations amendment to tie
future PDD subdivision decisions to a previously approved PDD plan, a Code of Ordinances

Reeular Agenda Item No. 11.6 -- Presentation~ discussion and possible action on a
resolution establishing the sale prices of cemetery spaces in the College Station municipal
cemetery.
Ross Albrecht, Forestry Superintendent presented recommendation from the Cemetery
Committee and the Parks and Recreation staff regarding the sale price of cemetery spaces and
the designation of cremate spaces in the College Station Cemetery.
The Parks and Recreation Department Staff and the Cemetery Committee developed the idea of
creating a cremate section in the city cemetery as a means to memorialize a recent large donation
to the endowment fund. The space designation did not previously exist; a sales price should be
established. The recommended sale price of the cremate spaces is $250.00 each.
City staff and the Cemetery Committee reviewed the current prices for the existing standard and
infant spaces. The Cemetery Committee and staff differ on the standard space recommendation.
Staff recommended increasing the standard spaces from $400.00 to $600.00 each, and to increase
infant spaces from $100.00 to $200.00 each. Also, staff recommended that cremate spaces be

priced at $200.00 each. Staff estimates that on average, the city will need between $250.00 to
$350.00 per standard space for perpetual care of the city cemetery. The Cemetery Committee
recommended setting the standard spaces from $400.00 to $500.00 each, cremate spaces at
$250.00 each and infant spaces remain at $100.00 each.
After consideration of the proposed fees, staff recommended setting the cemetery rotes as
outlined below:
Standard spaces from $400.00 to $600.00

Infant Spaces remain at $100.00
The fees recommended by staff will potentially meet or exceed the 80% level of total cost
recovery for the operation and maintenance cost of the cemetery.

fees by $200.00 for each standard space and set a fee of $250.00 per space for cremate spaces.
