The College Station City Council gathers Thursday at city hall for its workshop (5 p.m.) and regular (6 p.m.) meetings.

Here are five items to watch:

  1. Automated Metering Infrastructure: The council will hear a workshop presentation on a recent Automated Metering Infrastructure Feasibility Study and the benefits and challenges of using the technology.
  2. Summit Crossing Rezoning: After a public hearing, the council will consider a request to rezone about 36 acres from Planned Development District to Townhouse near the intersection of Buena Vista and Summit Crossing Lane. The change would allow for Phases 4-6 of the Summit Crossing development.
  3. Harvey Road Rezoning: After a public hearing, the council will consider a request to rezone about 12 acres from Planned Development District to Multi-Family near the intersection of Summit Crossing Lane and Harvey Road. The change would allow for development.
  4. Westside Annexation: The council will consider annexing about 65 acres near Rock Prairie Road West, Holleman Drive South, and North Graham Road. The council conducted a pair of public hearings on the annexation in March.
  5. Certificates of Obligation: The council will consider authorizing the issuance of up to $55 million in certificates of obligation to fund various capital projects, Including streets, parks, land for a future fire station, city hall design, information technology, and electric, water, and wastewater system improvements. The council approved the projects as part of the FY18 budget.
