The applicant, Trevor Hagerty of Holcomb Homes, on behalf of property owner VGC Ventures, LLC., is requesting to change the zoning classification from Retail District (C-2) to Multiple-Family Residential District (MF). The subject property is 1.11 acres of land adjoining the northwest side of East North Avenue between Holick Lane and South Texas Avenue, being Lot 8R in Block 2 of the Ramsey Place Subdivision, and is addressed as 600 East North Avenue. If approved, the request allows for multifamily development on the subject property, and will facilitate orderly growth and redevelopment within this area of Bryan. The proposed MF District zoning classification will serve as an effective transitional use between adjacent detached residential dwellings and retail developments. Surrounding zoning and land uses include: Northeast: Retail District (C-2) – developed with a multi-tenant retail center. West: Residential District – 5000 (RD-5) – developed with detached residential dwellings. Southeast (across E. North Avenue): Residential – Neighborhood Conservation District (R-NC) – developed with detached residential dwellings. At this time, staff has not received a formal site plan for any proposed development. Any future development at this location will require the submittal of a formal site plan, which will be reviewed by the Site Development Review Committee (SDRC) for conformance with the Land and Site Development Ordinance. During its regular meeting on April 2, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission concurred with staff and unanimously recommends approval of this rezoning request. The Commission adopted the written staff report and analysis as the report, findings, and evaluation of the Commission. There were no citizens present who spoke in favor or against the request. In making their decision, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds: The subject property is located within an area designated as Texas Avenue Corridor. Blueprint 2040 identifies this corridor as an area intended to accommodate a range of uses of similar intensity, including office and multi-family residential development where appropriate. The requested MF District zoning is generally consistent with the adopted goals and land use policies outlined in the Comprehensive Plan, Blueprint 2040. The proposed zoning change will support orderly commercial growth in this vicinity. The Commission is unable to identify factors affecting health, safety, morals or general welfare. approve the requested zoning change as recommended by P&Z and staff; approve the requested zoning change with modifications, which may require rescheduling the request for consideration on a future City Council meeting agenda; deny the requested zoning change; or deny the requested zoning amendment with prejudice, as provided for in Zoning Ordinance Section 130-42(i)(2): “If a request has been denied with prejudice, the same or similar request may not be resubmitted to the city for six months from the original date of denial.” location map and aerial photographs; draft ordinance with exhibits; excerpt from April 2, 2026, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting minutes; and staff report to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

BTU staff have developed a revised BTU Electric Rate Ordinance that provides more appropriate terminology for rate components, more natural customer class names, summarized rate tables, and easier document navigation. These changes are designed to help improve customer understanding of BTU rate structures by providing better clarity and transparency. The revised Electric Rate Ordinance eliminates seasonal rates for residential customers by replacing the seasonal component with an annual average. To summarize, the proposed Ordinance: reduces duplicative language; streamlines the structure; simplifies terminology; and eliminates seasonal rates beginning November 1, 2026. This revised BTU Electric Rate Ordinance does not include modifications to "Base" rates for any customer class; the revisions are designed to be more easily understandable for customers. To note, the BTU Base Rate has not changed since 2018. The proposed revised Electric Rate Ordinance includes terms of service, a definition section (currently does not exist), a consolidation of rates, (e.g., City and Rural residential on a single chart), and combined rate components. The BTU Board of Directors approved modifications to the Power Cost Recovery Charge and the Transmission Cost Recovery Charge components of customer rates at their April meeting. Based on these modifications and the elimination of seasonal rates to a single rate throughout the year, an average residential customer (1000 kWh/month) will see an average increase of $3.94/month. This change is an overall increase of 3.5% to an average residential customer’s bill, which is significantly lower than the rate of inflation (i.e., 28%) since BTU’s last “base” rate change in 2018. The BTU Board of Directors unanimously approved a recommendation to the City Council to approve the revised Electric Rate Ordinance, with an effective date of June 1, 2026. S taff also recommends the City Council approve the proposed revised Electric Rate Ordinance. 1. Approve the proposed revised Electric Rate Ordinance. 2. Instruct staff to make changes to the proposed revised Electric Rate Ordinance. 3. Reject the proposed revised Electric Rate Ordinance and provide the BTU Board and staff direction. 1.

Last Energy intends to develop, license, construct, own, and operate an advanced nuclear energy facility (the “Facility”) on a parcel of land in Brazos County, Texas, adjacent to BTU’s Dansby Generating Station. The Facility will consist of up to two (2) of Last Energy’s pressurized water reactor (“PWR”) units, each with a 20Mwe output. Last Energy shall be solely responsible for all aspects of Facility development, including site preparation, licensing, permitting, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and operation. BTU shall have no ownership interest in, or operational responsibility for, the Facility. The Facility is also intended to include a modular unit assembly and light research and development facility adjacent to the reactor site, which will support Last Energy’s manufacturing and supply chain development activities and create additional permanent employment in Bryan and Brazos County. After years of research and validation, Last Energy was formed in 2019. The company is a developer of next generation micro modular pressurized water reactor power plants. Last Energy’s goal is to “decarbonize global energy production, increase access to dependable power, and create a scalable clean energy future for humanity by significantly reducing the time and cost to deploy nuclear power plants.” The company intends to deliver abundant, reliable energy fast enough to support modern industry and economic growth. City staff, to include BTU team members, have been in close coordination on this project in collaboration with Last Energy. On May 14, 2026, Last Energy intends to submit a Texas Nuclear Advanced Development Fund Application to the State of Texas. Site control is a key condition of said application. The Option Contract for City Council consideration, presented with this Council Action Form, accomplishes this condition. To note, both parties retain the ability to validate the financial and physical feasibility of the site, including permitting, assurance of environmental health and safety, and other feasibility requirements. The following are General Terms of the Unimproved Property Option Contract: Land: Approximately 19.5 acres on Mumford Road, Bryan, TX 77807 adjacent to the Roland C. Dansby Power Plant Sales Price: $1,000,000 Earnest Money: $10,000 Term: 365 days after the effective date of the Unimproved Property Option Contract Closing: On or before May 10, 2027 Staff recommends approval of the proposed Unimproved Property Option Contract.

On May 14, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 4083 establishing “Guidelines and Criteria Governing Tax Abatements” in the City of Bryan. As per State law, Resolution No. 4083 contained a sunset date two (2) years from the date of adoption, expiring on May 13, 2026. For the City to consider new tax abatement agreements, the City Council must adopt a new resolution, which will be effective for another two-year period. The proposed “Guidelines and Criteria Governing Tax Abatements” will provide the City Council the ability to consider and offer tax abatements as an economic incentive to a new business or for business retention. By approving this proposed Resolution to adopt a new set of guidelines and criteria governing property tax abatement, the City Council will have the ability to direct staff to negotiate tax abatement incentives on the City's behalf. The City Council retains authority to approve future agreements. However, the City Council must adopt guidelines in order to consider a tax abatement agreement. The proposed guidelines are written sufficiently broad to allow the City Council the ability to consider many types of improvements that could result in tax abatement agreements. By adopting this proposed Resolution, the City Council may impact a business decision to locate to and/or expand and remain in the City of Bryan. Staff recommends approving the proposed Resolution. 1. Approve the proposed Resolution 2. Modify the proposed Resolution, which may require consideration at a future City Council meeting 3. Do not approve the proposed Resolution 1. Proposed Resolution with attached Exhibit A - Guidelines and Criteria Governing Property Tax Abatement

On July 22, 2024, the City opened bids for the 2024 Street Maintenance – Asphalt Contract #2. Brazos Paving, Inc (BPI) submitted the low bid for $2,804,152.50 representing the best value to the city. City Council awarded the construction contract to BPI during the August 13, 2024, City Council meeting. The initial 2024 Street Maintenance – Asphalt Contract #2 included fifty-six (56) streets (or ~22 lane miles) receiving substantial pavement repairs followed by an overlay of asphalt, with three (3) of these streets totally reconstructed. Along with pavement repairs, nine (9) of these streets will also have pavement markings replaced. To provide the best possible product, staff carefully coordinates so subsurface utilities repairs are completed prior to any pavement maintenance. Since awarding the contract to BPI, three change orders were requested and approved. Change Order (CO) #1 provided additional work to properly repair the subgrade along Elmo Weedon Road ($48,465.00); Change Order (CO) #2 included the addition of reflective raised markers along East Villa Maria and Carter Creek Parkway ($0.00); and Change Order (CO) #3 added one (1) speed hump on Oak Hill Road (-$26.00). These three previous change orders accounted for a total of $48,439.00 or ~1.73% of the total awarded contract. Change Order No. 4, presented with this Council Action Form, provides quantities for pavement repairs along East 29 th Street from Memorial Drive to East Villa Maria Road (see Attachment #2). The scope of the work included milling off the existing asphalt, laying 1.5” of asphalt, and installing pavement markings and raised reflective markers. In addition, Coulter Airfield has requested a small unimproved access road and parking area off Wallis Road to be overlayed with 1.5” of asphalt (see Attachment #3). The work at Coulter Airfield will be billed to the Airport Fund and the Transportation Fund reimbursed. Staff respectfully request the City Council approve Change Order No. 4 in an amount not to exceed $195,819 (6.98% of the original contract amount). With the addition of the prior change orders, the original contractual amount of $2,804,152.50 increases to $3,048,410.50 (or 8.71% in total change from the original contract amount). Staff respectfully request the City Council approve Change Order No. 4 to the 2024 Street Maintenance – Asphalt Contract #2 with Brazos Paving, Inc in an amount not to exceed $195,819 (6.98% of the original contract amount). With the addition of the prior change orders, this action will increase the original contractual amount of $2,804,152.50 to $3,048,410.50.

Since 2014, the City of Bryan has required tow truck companies to obtain a permit through a specific application process before engaging in nonconsent towing. Nonconsent towing occurs when a vehicle is towed without the owner’s consent, typically at the direction of law enforcement or a property owner due to violations such as illegal parking. The permit requirement is authorized by Chapter 126, Article IV of the Bryan Code of Ordinances, which provides: “Permits shall be for a period of one year, effective February 1. The deadline for the yearly application process shall be December 1 of the year immediately preceding the year of the effective date of the permit. When the yearly application process closes, new applications will not be accepted until the following December.” The ordinance does not provide for a grace period, late application process, or any other administrative exception. The deadline may be extended by a vote of the Bryan City Council. Recently, a towing company failed to meet the deadline to apply for a 2026 annual permit authorizing nonconsent towing operations. The company is currently in good standing and has a long history of meeting annual permit application deadlines. The company has subsequently requested they be allowed to obtain a 2026 permit notwithstanding its failure to timely submit the required application. Staff recommends approval of the deadline extension request and recommends a new deadline of June 1, 2026, for submitting an application for a 2026 permit to engage in nonconsent towing, with any permit granted pursuant to this extension expiring on January 31, 2027. If approved, staff further recommends the extension be granted subject to the towing company’s acknowledgment that all future applications must be submitted in accordance with the established deadline. If the deadline for 2026 applications is extended, staff believes the same opportunity should be made available to any other company that failed to meet the 2026 application deadline who is in good standing and had a long-established no recent history of missing annual permit application deadlines. Approve the deadline extension with required acknowledgment Deny the deadline extension and require compliance with the next permitting cycle Attachment(s): na

On May 14, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 4083 establishing “Guidelines and Criteria Governing Tax Abatements” in the City of Bryan. As per State law, Resolution No. 4083 contained a sunset date two (2) years from the date of adoption, expiring on May 13, 2026. For the City to consider new tax abatement agreements, the City Council must adopt a new resolution, which will be effective for another two-year period. The proposed “Guidelines and Criteria Governing Tax Abatements” will provide the City Council the ability to consider and offer tax abatements as an economic incentive to a new business or for business retention. By approving this proposed Resolution to adopt a new set of guidelines and criteria governing property tax abatement, the City Council will have the ability to direct staff to negotiate tax abatement incentives on the City's behalf. The City Council retains authority to approve future agreements. However, the City Council must adopt guidelines in order to consider a tax abatement agreement. The proposed guidelines are written sufficiently broad to allow the City Council the ability to consider many types of improvements that could result in tax abatement agreements. By adopting this proposed Resolution, the City Council may impact a business decision to locate to and/or expand and remain in the City of Bryan. Staff recommends approving the proposed Resolution. 1. Approve the proposed Resolution 2. Modify the proposed Resolution, which may require consideration at a future City Council meeting 3. Do not approve the proposed Resolution 1. Proposed Resolution with attached Exhibit A - Guidelines and Criteria Governing Property Tax Abatement

On July 22, 2024, the City opened bids for the 2024 Street Maintenance – Asphalt Contract #2. Brazos Paving, Inc (BPI) submitted the low bid for $2,804,152.50 representing the best value to the city. City Council awarded the construction contract to BPI during the August 13, 2024, City Council meeting. The initial 2024 Street Maintenance – Asphalt Contract #2 included fifty-six (56) streets (or ~22 lane miles) receiving substantial pavement repairs followed by an overlay of asphalt, with three (3) of these streets totally reconstructed. Along with pavement repairs, nine (9) of these streets will also have pavement markings replaced. To provide the best possible product, staff carefully coordinates so subsurface utilities repairs are completed prior to any pavement maintenance. Since awarding the contract to BPI, three change orders were requested and approved. Change Order (CO) #1 provided additional work to properly repair the subgrade along Elmo Weedon Road ($48,465.00); Change Order (CO) #2 included the addition of reflective raised markers along East Villa Maria and Carter Creek Parkway ($0.00); and Change Order (CO) #3 added one (1) speed hump on Oak Hill Road (-$26.00). These three previous change orders accounted for a total of $48,439.00 or ~1.73% of the total awarded contract. Change Order No. 4, presented with this Council Action Form, provides quantities for pavement repairs along East 29 th Street from Memorial Drive to East Villa Maria Road (see Attachment #2). The scope of the work included milling off the existing asphalt, laying 1.5” of asphalt, and installing pavement markings and raised reflective markers. In addition, Coulter Airfield has requested a small unimproved access road and parking area off Wallis Road to be overlayed with 1.5” of asphalt (see Attachment #3). The work at Coulter Airfield will be billed to the Airport Fund and the Transportation Fund reimbursed. Staff respectfully request the City Council approve Change Order No. 4 in an amount not to exceed $195,819 (6.98% of the original contract amount). With the addition of the prior change orders, the original contractual amount of $2,804,152.50 increases to $3,048,410.50 (or 8.71% in total change from the original contract amount). Staff respectfully request the City Council approve Change Order No. 4 to the 2024 Street Maintenance – Asphalt Contract #2 with Brazos Paving, Inc in an amount not to exceed $195,819 (6.98% of the original contract amount). With the addition of the prior change orders, this action will increase the original contractual amount of $2,804,152.50 to $3,048,410.50.

Since 2014, the City of Bryan has required tow truck companies to obtain a permit through a specific application process before engaging in nonconsent towing. Nonconsent towing occurs when a vehicle is towed without the owner’s consent, typically at the direction of law enforcement or a property owner due to violations such as illegal parking. The permit requirement is authorized by Chapter 126, Article IV of the Bryan Code of Ordinances, which provides: “Permits shall be for a period of one year, effective February 1. The deadline for the yearly application process shall be December 1 of the year immediately preceding the year of the effective date of the permit. When the yearly application process closes, new applications will not be accepted until the following December.” The ordinance does not provide for a grace period, late application process, or any other administrative exception. The deadline may be extended by a vote of the Bryan City Council. Recently, a towing company failed to meet the deadline to apply for a 2026 annual permit authorizing nonconsent towing operations. The company is currently in good standing and has a long history of meeting annual permit application deadlines. The company has subsequently requested they be allowed to obtain a 2026 permit notwithstanding its failure to timely submit the required application. Staff recommends approval of the deadline extension request and recommends a new deadline of June 1, 2026, for submitting an application for a 2026 permit to engage in nonconsent towing, with any permit granted pursuant to this extension expiring on January 31, 2027. If approved, staff further recommends the extension be granted subject to the towing company’s acknowledgment that all future applications must be submitted in accordance with the established deadline. If the deadline for 2026 applications is extended, staff believes the same opportunity should be made available to any other company that failed to meet the 2026 application deadline who is in good standing and had a long-established no recent history of missing annual permit application deadlines. Approve the deadline extension with required acknowledgment Deny the deadline extension and require compliance with the next permitting cycle Attachment(s): na

The Texas Human Resources Code supervises the licensing of organizations related to child care, including exemptions from licensing requirements for municipal organizations. According to the Texas Human Resources Code 42.041 (b)(14), services provided by the City of Bryan Parks and Recreation Department meet all exemptions to the legislation. This detail must be evidenced through an approved Standards of Care Ordinance. The camps and programs offered by the City meet the criteria based on the following: a municipal operated program; an adopted standards of care ordinance after a public hearing; the providing of these standards to the parents of each program participant; minimum safety qualifications for employees, facilities, and child to caregiver ratios; and t he program does not advertise itself as a child-care operation. To meet Texas Human Resources Code requirements, Ordinance No. 2361 was approved in 2017 by the City Council, resulting in the City meeting exemptions to State legislation. The purpose of the new Standard of Care Ordinance is to remove the reference to the "Summer Park Program" as this program is no longer offered. The Standards of Care are adopted annually by the City. The substantive difference for this year is the removal of the "Summer Park Program," since the City no longer offers the program. The format of the ordinance and the policy were modified for clarity and consistency. City staff recommends approving the adoption of the updated City of Bryan Standards of Care for Youth Day Camp and Afterschool Programs. On February 17, 2026, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommended approving the proposed Standards of Care.

This agenda item was prepared for the City Council to consider approving an On-Airport Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The original MOA between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the City of Bryan (City) was signed in August 2008. The MOA authorized the FAA to construct and maintain a Remote Transmitter and Receiver (RTR) facility on Coulter Field Airport property in support of air traffic operations. The RTR facility is an unmanned site containing radio equipment that extends the communication range of terminal air traffic control facilities, which allows the FAA to communicate with pilots. The FAA considers the RTR facility critical to air traffic operation at Coulter Field Airport. There was no direct financial gain for the City entering the MOA; however, the RTR facility enhances flight safety and pilot communication for aircraft operating in and out of Coulter Field Airport. The current MOA authorizing the construction and use of the RTR facility will expire on September 30, 2026. Because the FAA requires the continued use of the facility for air traffic operations, a new MOA is required to be considered by the City Council and signed by the Mayor, if approved. The term of the MOA being considered is twenty (20) years, ending September 30, 2046, and at that time, the agreement will need to be renewed if the FAA requires the use of the RTR facility. Staff recommends approving the authorizing the Mayor to sign the On-Airport Memorandum of Agreement between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the City of Bryan for continued support of Air Traffic Operations. 1.

This agenda item was prepared for the City Council to consider approving an On-Airport Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The original MOA between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the City of Bryan (City) was signed in August 2008. The MOA authorized the FAA to construct and maintain a Remote Transmitter and Receiver (RTR) facility on Coulter Field Airport property in support of air traffic operations. The RTR facility is an unmanned site containing radio equipment that extends the communication range of terminal air traffic control facilities, which allows the FAA to communicate with pilots. The FAA considers the RTR facility critical to air traffic operation at Coulter Field Airport. There was no direct financial gain for the City entering the MOA; however, the RTR facility enhances flight safety and pilot communication for aircraft operating in and out of Coulter Field Airport. The current MOA authorizing the construction and use of the RTR facility will expire on September 30, 2026. Because the FAA requires the continued use of the facility for air traffic operations, a new MOA is required to be considered by the City Council and signed by the Mayor, if approved. The term of the MOA being considered is twenty (20) years, ending September 30, 2046, and at that time, the agreement will need to be renewed if the FAA requires the use of the RTR facility. Staff recommends approving the authorizing the Mayor to sign the On-Airport Memorandum of Agreement between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the City of Bryan for continued support of Air Traffic Operations. 1.

The Coulter Airfield Parking Lot Expansion project is located within the Coulter Field Airport located at the southeastern intersection of East State Highway 21 and Wallis Road. The project includes the construction of a new parking lot in front of the existing Coulter Field office building and a new airplane rinse station with associated sanitary sewer lines for service. Numerous complaints have been expressed by existing tenants about the lack of vehicular parking and a dedicated area to rinse off their aircrafts. Tenants have repeatedly requested the establishment of a dedicated airplane rinse area in addition to more vehicular parking spaces. The development of a new parking lot and rinsing station are necessary to maintain tenants at the airport. The parking lot expansion will provide 28 new parking spaces and the rinse station will provide a dedicated area for pilots to rinse their aircrafts, thus providing the airport with more attractive attributes to increase visitor traffic and improve the amenities for tenants. The preliminary cost estimate for the Coulter Airfield Parking Lot Expansion was $275,000. A Request for Proposals (RFP), RFP 26-024, was issued on March 9, 2026, with ten (10) bids from registered contractors received by the City on March 26, 2026. Total base bids ranged from $241,851 to $351,964. The bid prices were received as competitive sealed bids and scored for completeness. Norman Construction Services, LLC was determined to have the lowest complete bid price with a total amount of $241,851, which is 12% below the original cost estimate of $275,000. Norman Construction has a total of 45 calendar days to complete the project. Staff recommends the City Council approve the proposed contract for $241,851. This work has been budgeted in the Coulter Airport Fund. Staff recommends awarding the Coulter Airfield Parking Lot Expansion, City Job Number 520-D5-2602, to Norman Construction Service, LLC in the not to exceed amount of $241,851. 1.
