The College Station City Council gathers Thursday at city hall for its workshop (6 p.m.) and regular (7 p.m.) meetings. Here are five items to watch:
- Roadway Impact Fees: In the workshop, the council will discuss the recently adopted roadway impact fees and provide additional direction to city staff.
- Spring Creek Local Government Corporation: The council will also have a workshop discussion about forming a non-profit government corporation to promote economic development anchored by the Spring Creek Corporate Campus, College Station’s next business park. The effort was recommended for approval by the council’s Economic Development Committee in December.
- Southside Safety Improvements: As part of the consent agenda, the council will consider a $359,000 contract for design and construction phase services related to street safety improvements along Park Place, Holik, Glade and Anna Streets near Oakwood Intermediate School and A&M Consolidated Middle School.
- Pooh’s Park Rezoning: After public hearings, the council will consider a request to change the land use and zoning designations for about six acres southwest of the intersection of Holleman Drive East and Lassie Lane in the Pooh’s Park Subdivision. The changes would accommodate a multi-family infill development.
- Board and Committee Appointments: The council will consider appointments to the BioCorridor Board and various city boards and commissions.
The meetings can be watched live on Suddenlink Ch. 19, or online. The website includes an archive of previous council meetings. We’ll post a detailed live blog on this site.
