College Station City Council will consider several infrastructure contracts, economic development negotiations and a proposed change to the city’s transportation plan during its April 9 meeting.
Council members will begin in executive session at 4 p.m. ahead of reconvening in open session at 6 p.m. at City Hall.
What you need to know
Several consent agenda items focus on infrastructure upgrades and city operations.
The council is expected to consider:
- A $2.4 million construction contract to expand the Post Oak Electric Substation yard, aimed at strengthening electric system capacity and reliability
- A nearly $673,000 change order tied to utility relocations along Hwy. 6 for the Texas Department of Transportation’s “Big 6” project. According to agenda material, speeding up the work will help avoid delays to highway construction.
- A $1.3 million contract with Tyler Technologies for new enterprise planning and development software to modernize permitting and city planning processes
Additional items include upgrades to the council chamber broadcast production room and approval of a new commercial recycling franchise agreement.
The only regular agenda item is a hearing on a proposed amendment to the city’s Comprehensive Plan.
If approved, the ordinance would remove a planned future extension of Pebble Creek Parkway between St. Andrews Drive and a future southern arterial roadway, along with associated bike lanes and sidewalks.
City documents say the Comprehensive Plan serves as a long-range growth guide rather than a zoning decision.
Also on the agenda
During executive session, the council will discuss several development-related negotiations, including:
- An economic development agreement with Corinth Group
- A proposed baseball complex development within Midtown Business Park
- A development agreement involving land between the Pebble Creek and Southern Pointe subdivisions
The council will also receive legal advice related to water rights and ongoing litigation involving the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
Council members are also scheduled to evaluate the city attorney, the internal auditor and conduct a council self-evaluation in closed session.
