The College Station City Council gathers Monday at city hall for its workshop (est. 5:30 p.m.) and regular (7 p.m.) meetings. Here are five items to watch:  

1. Historic Marker: The Historic Preservation Committee will present a historic marker to Carla Fisher for her home at 1213 Winding Rd.
2. Rock Prairie Road Widening : As part of the consent agenda, the council will consider a contract for the design and other services for the Road Prairie Road West Widening Project, which will improve the capacity of the street and align additional lanes with the State Highway 6 overpass.
3. E-cigarette Ordinance: The council will consider an ordinance prohibiting the sale of e-cigarettes to minors and the use of the devices where tobacco products are not permitted. If approved, the ordinance would become effective in 20 days.
4. Agreement with StataCorp: The council will consider an economic development agreement with StataCorp that would include the abandonment of part of Technology Way, expedited permitting, waiver of the right-of-way abandonment application fee, and the dedication of about 30 acres of greenways to parkland.
