C.S. bond election set Tuesday
Capital improvements up for vote
By MICHELLE POWE
Staff writer
College Station is having a
bond election Tuesday and resi
dents are being asked to vote on
several bond issue proposals
which would continue the city’s
Capital Improvements
Program.
The capital improvements
plan was first considered last
August when residents rejected
half of the ten proposals. The
number of issues now being
proposed has been cut to seven.
Proposition 1: City participa
tion in the installation costs of
water and sewer lines. Proposed
funding — $1,800,000.
In new subdivisions, develop
ers are responsible for the ex
tension of water and sewer lines
to proposed lots. If the city pre
dicts a larger line will be needed,
the developer is required to in
stall the larger line and the city
for the increased size of the
pays
line.
Proposition 2: Construction
of a new two-story police build
ing and renovation of the ex
isting police and municipal

ing — $2,200,000.
Proposition 3: Remodeling
some sections of Central Fire
Station and adding an annex to
the south side of the station.
Proposed funding — $555,000.
Proposition 4: Construction
of an additional one-story fire
station capable of housing one
engine company, one ladder
company and one ambulance
crew. Proposed funding —
$700,000.
A location will be chosen to
accomodate the expected
growth along State Highway 6
South. If this growth doesn’t
occur, the bonds will not be sold.
Proposition 6: Renovation of
Lincoln Center, specifically the
community recreation center,
gymnasium, maintenance facil
ity and softball field and sur
rounding area. Proposed fund
ing — $1,150,000.
Also proposed is the develop
ment of other neighborhood
parks at Brentwood, Glen-
nhaven and Sandstone Parks
and the construction of an on
site maintenance facility to
maintain Southwood Athletic
Park and the surrounding
parks.
streets up to 47 feet wide. If the
city decides a larger street is
needed, the developer is re
quired to construct it and then
the city repays the developer for
the additional costs.
A bridge participation prog
ram is being proposed along the
same lines as the existing prog
rams for utilities and streets. It is
proposed that the city share in
the cost of constructing bridges
over creeks needed for prop
osed major thoroughfares.
Proposition 5: Additions to
the public services warehouses,
including a welding shop, street
and sanitation locker room, flat
repair area, dry storage, covered
parking for equipment and a
small vehicle work rack. Land
scaping of the area is also prop
osed. Proposed funding —
$1,425,000.
Proposition 7: Street im
provements. Proposed funding
— $6,325,000.
For the past several years Col
lege Station has participated in
major street construction, as
outlined by the subdivision ordi
nance.

velopers to be responsible for all
The proposed funding for
several recommended projects
under Proposition 7 is as fol
lows: $1,000,000 for participa
tion in major streets; $ 1,200,000
for miscellaneous rights-of-way;
$1,000,000 for bridge participa
tion; $2,100,000 for street re
building; $125,000 for miscel
laneous curb and gutter replace
ment; $500,000 for intersection
improvements; $200,000 for
Marion Pugh Drive; $100,000

Bryan voters will go to the
polls Tuesday to vote on five
propositions authorizing the
sale of general obligation bonds
to fund several community pro
jects.
The following bond issues
will be voted on at the election:
• Proposition 1: $14,525,000
general obligation street im
provement bonds. The money
would be used for streets, traffic
systems, sidewalks and street
lighting.
• Proposition 2: $7,100,000
general obligation park and re
creational facilities bonds. The
money would finance work on
two parks — one on the east and
west side of the city, a recreation
complex and a community
center.
• Proposition 3: $5,400,000
general obligation Bryan muni
cipal government facilities
bonds. The money would be
used for city offices and police
department facilities.
• Proposition 4: $3,200,000
general obligation railroad
grade separation bonds.
• Proposition 5:
general obligation sanitary land
fill bonds. The money would
fund the construction of a new
landfill that would be in opera
tion in about five years.
City secretary Dorothy Mal-
lett says the issues were chosen
the Bryan city council. The
council approved the recom
mendations, but with a cut of ab
out $2 million. The cuts were
made mostly in the area of street
improvements where repairs
are already scheduled, Mallelt
said.
