NATIONAL COMMUNITY PLANNING MONTH Highlights Our Hardworking City
Planners
October is National Planning Month, and in College Station, it’s a time to recognize the people who shape our city. Community planning is a shared journey, and this month, we’re celebrating the partnerships, voices, and ideas that move us forward.
City planning isn’t just about maps, zoning, and policy. It’s about people — the individuals and families who live, work, and dream here. As the philosopher Plato once said, “The State is the individual writ large.” In other words, cities are the reflection of the people who build them, live in them, and care for them.
PLANNING WITH THE COMMUNITY
At its core, planning is a collaborative effort. Over the past year, residents and community stakeholders participated in more than 20 planning-based public engagement opportunities to help shape projects like:
• The Comprehensive Plan 5-Year Evaluation – “Five Years Forward”
• The Greater Northgate Small Area Plan Engagement Process
• The Active Transportation Master Plan
These meetings aren’t about checking boxes, they’re about listening. Residents bring deep knowledge of their neighborhoods, local history, and everyday experiences. Their input helps ensure plans reflect both individual needs and the broader community vision.
During the Five Years Forward Open House, residents shared valuable feedback on the successes and future opportunities of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. In addition to commenting on maps with locationspecific insights, attendees enjoyed interactive activities like urban planning-themed Mad Libs and contributing songs to a playlist that reflects what College Station means to them.
The Greater Northgate Stakeholder Committee members participated in numerous input activities, including a walking tour of the Northgate District where they documented areas for improvement and shared ideas for the future. Their input and in-depth knowledge of the area formed the backbone of the Greater Northgate Small Area Plan Engagement Report.
During the Active Transportation Master Plan engagement process, residents of all ages shared their favorite walking and biking routes, along with suggestions for future mobility improvements. Their input will help shape not only the physical infrastructure that supports cyclists and pedestrians, but also the programs and policies that encourage active transportation.
STAYING CONNECTED
There are several ways to stay up-todate on current planning efforts in the City. A running list of upcoming public meetings is kept on the Planning and Development Services webpage, and the weekly Neighborhood Newsletter highlights key information on various City activities. Additionally, the Planner-On-Call (POC) line can be used to connect with long-range planners to learn about engagement opportunities and upcoming projects. To reach out to the POC, call (979)-764-3858 or poc@cstx.gov.
A HEARTFELT THANK YOU
When you walk through College Station, we hope you see your story in the spaces around you, your values, your contributions, your ideas brought to life. This Planning Month, we’re grateful for everyone who shared their time and experience to help make College Station a vibrant, forward-thinking, knowledge-based community.
Thank you for helping us plan a College Station that reflects you.

CSTX.GOV Has A Fresh New Look
Our new website is live!
After months of planning, design, and development, the City of College Station has introduced a new and improved website featuring enhanced search capabilities and functionality. The updated service hub is more than just a digital facelift; it’s a powerful tool that makes interacting with your local government easier, faster, and more accessible. cstx.gov
While the new site is live, it will never truly be finished. We will continually update content, refine navigation, and explore new tools to make the experience even better.
A city website should evolve with its community. Every change we make will keep residents at the forefront, ensuring the website remains service-based, intuitive, and easy to use. It’s your digital city hall, and our service-based approach ensures that your needs are always the priority.
We also integrated many of the features requested in the 2025 Citizen Survey to ensure the final product reflects the community’s priorities. The result is a modern, user-friendly website to serve College Station residents with clarity and convenience.
Here are some of the key features to ensure you get the most from the website:
• Enhanced Search
• AI Chatbot
• Accessibility Widget
Municipalities everywhere face the challenge of keeping up with evolving digital expectations. By modernizing its online presence, College Station ensures that residents can easily, securely, and reliably interact with their city government.
The redesign represents more than a new look. It reflects our ongoing commitment to accessibility, engagement, and service. Read Blog
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CS: CELEBRATING 87
YEARS OF COLLEGE STATION
Did you know that on Oct. 19, 1938, College Station officially became a city? Citizens voted 217-39 to incorporate what was then a modest college town surrounding Texas A&M University. That pivotal moment laid the foundation for the vibrant, thriving community we know today.
This year, we proudly celebrate 87 years of growth, resilience, and unity. Over the decades, College Station has transformed from a small community of students and faculty into one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, while still holding onto its unique charm and spirit.
Our city’s story is defined not just by buildings, streets, and milestones but by the people who have made College Station their home. From families and students to business owners and dedicated public servants, each generation has helped shape the welcoming and dynamic community we cherish today.
As we reflect on our history, we also look ahead with gratitude and optimism. Together, we continue building a city rooted in tradition yet driven by innovation and opportunity.
Here’s to 87 years of history—and to a bright future in the heart of Aggieland!
FALL
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION EVENT
Area residents are invited to participate in the Twin Oaks Landfill’s Fall Household Hazardous Waste and Computer Collection Event on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 7 a.m.–2 p.m. at the TAMU – USB Building. The entrance is on Harvey Road east of Veteran’s Park and Athletic Complex.
The free event is open to Brazos Valley residents and offers the safe disposal of typical household hazardous wastes.
Pouring cleaning agents down your kitchen sink, a storm inlet, on the ground, or into your recycling or garbage containers poses severe health and safety risks to the environment and those who work around wastewater and solid waste.

One Year Of
Last fall, the City of College Station launched I Heart CS, a free monthly digital newsletter created to strengthen communication with residents and provide timely updates about city programs, services, and more. Each edition delivers a comprehensive overview of upcoming events, recreational activities, and community initiatives, along with important information that helps residents stay connected to what is happening in College Station.
The development of I Heart CS was guided by input from a FlashVote survey, where residents were asked about their preferred methods for receiving city news. Survey results indicated that while topic-specific newsletters, such as those focused on Parks or neighborhood updates, are valuable, many residents expressed interest in a broader, citywide publication. A single, convenient resource that consolidates key information and arrives directly in their inbox.
In response, the city created I Heart CS completely in house to meet this need by providing accessible, trustworthy updates directly from city staff. The newsletter is designed to be clear and efficient, ensuring readers can quickly find the information most relevant to them. Topics include city projects, service reminders, community safety, cultural events, volunteer opportunities, and ways for residents to engage in local government.
Since its introduction in October 2024, more than 2,600 residents have subscribed, with new sign-ups continuing to increase each month. The newsletter has quickly become a reliable resource for both newcomers seeking to learn about their community and long-term residents wanting to remain informed about ongoing developments.
The publication received top honors in Best Publications – E-Newsletter (population 50K and up) at the 2025 Texas Association of Municipal Information Officers (TAMI) Awards.
Residents who have not yet subscribed are encouraged to do so. Subscribing is free, and it ensures consistent access to important updates and opportunities to stay engaged with the City of College Station. New issues are also released on the city’s website on the first Tuesday of each month.
To subscribe, visit cstx.gov/iheartcs and join the growing list of residents who rely on I Heart CS for accurate, timely city information.

The City of College Station is not only an incredible place to live, but it is also a wonderful place to work!
We offer a variety of job opportunities, including full-time, part-time, seasonal positions, and internships.
WHAT DO THEY DO?
CITY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
What does the City Attorney’s Office do?
The City Attorney’s Office offers legal advice and representation to the City of College Station, its employees, and council members. The office also represents both the State of Texas and the City in all cases filed in the College Station Municipal Court. This includes prosecuting all Class C misdemeanors, such as traffic violations and other municipal offenses.
How is a City Attorney different from District and County Attorneys?
While each office serves an important legal role, their responsibilities differ:
City Attorney – Appointed by the City, the College Station City Attorney provides legal guidance to city officials, employees, and appointees. The office also represents the City in litigation and prosecutes Class C misdemeanors in Municipal Court.
District Attorney – The Brazos County District Attorney’s Office represents the State of Texas in criminal cases before the District Courts of Brazos County. The office prosecutes felony crimes, juvenile offenses, and certain misdemeanor cases. It also supports crime victims and represents Child Protective Services in abuse and neglect cases.
County Attorney – The Brazos County Attorney’s Office handles misdemeanor criminal cases in County Courts-at-Law, provides civil legal counsel to county officials and departments, and assists victims of domestic violence through
protective orders. The office also manages programs such as the Hot Check Division, which helps businesses and residents recover losses from fraudulent checks.
Can residents seek legal advice from the City Attorney’s Office?
The City Attorney’s Office cannot provide legal advice to private citizens. Residents who need personal legal services are encouraged to connect with a local attorney. The State Bar of Texas offers a searchable database of attorneys at texasbar.com.

City Revamps Raintree Home for Local Workforce Housing
In June 2024, the City Council approved the purchase of a home at 2700 Wilderness Drive in the Raintree Subdivision for rehabilitation with Community Development Block Grant funds. The intent was to later convey the property to a nonprofit partner as affordable workforce rental housing. City staff is now preparing a Request for Proposals for the property’s disposition and conveyance to a qualified nonprofit partner.
The home was purchased for $275,000, and Quality Works
Construction completed renovations for $49,685. Improvements included driveway reconstruction (resolving flooding issues at neighboring 2702 Wilderness Dr.), reconstruction of the back porch and stoop, fence repairs, replacement of the HVAC system and water heater, soffit and fascia repairs/painting, installation of a new vent hood, various electrical upgrades, and other work.
AMNESTY PERIOD
PROVIDES A SIMPLE PATH TO PAY OUTSTANDING WARRANTS
JAIL TIME
AND AVOID
Since the City of College Station began our warrant amnesty and roundup program in 2007, we’ve cleared over 7,000 warrants valued at over $2 million. The twice-yearly amnesty period has proven to be a win for defendants and our court because it provides a path for people to pay outstanding warrants and avoid jail.
The warrant amnesty period for the City of College Station and Brazos County is underway and runs through Oct. 13-31. Last fall, we cleared 75 warrants valued at almost $20,000.
If you have an outstanding warrant, you can avoid paying a $50 per case warrant fee if you pay the fine in full. During the Nov. 1-9 warrant roundup, city marshals, police officers, reserve police officers, and constables will arrest those who haven’t paid their fines.
If you have an unpaid outstanding warrant, there’s a good chance you’ll be arrested.
Many cities do the roundup without offering amnesty, but we think the amnesty period is essential because you can make restitution, save a little money, and avoid jail time.
We’ve been a leader in encouraging other courts to participate, and now there is a statewide roundup each March. Our court has even been recognized as a national leader due to our amnesty program.
Do you have an outstanding warrant?
If the College Station Police Department issued your citation, you can check your warrant’s status at cstx.gov/warrants. You may also call the College Station Municipal Court at 979-764-3683.
No partial payment schedules will be allowed if you want to avoid the $50 fee. The City of College Station accepts cash, cashier’s checks, credit cards, money orders, and personal checks. You may also pay your outstanding warrant through our online citation payment system.
If you have an outstanding warrant, take care of it today! It’s a much better option than going to jail.
Fire Prevention Week Shines a Light on Lithium-Ion Battery Safety
Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 5-11 and serves as an important reminder of the critical role fire safety and education play in keeping our community safe. Each year, the campaign highlights a different area of fire prevention that impacts our homes, schools, and workplaces.
This year’s theme, “Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” focuses on a topic that affects almost everyone. Lithiumion batteries are everywhere—from the cell phones and laptops we use daily to e-scooters, e-bikes, power tools, and even some household appliances. While these batteries make our lives more convenient, they can pose serious fire risks if not handled properly.
The campaign emphasizes three simple but vital safety steps: Buy, Charge, and Recycle safely.
• Buy only batteries and devices from reputable manufacturers and retailers.
• Charge them using the proper cord and power supply and never leave charging batteries unattended.
• Recycle old or damaged batteries at approved drop-off sites instead of throwing them in the trash, where they can spark fires in landfills or garbage trucks.
By following these guidelines, you can help prevent dangerous overheating, fires, or even explosions in your home.
To make fire safety even easier, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has created a helpful tip sheet with practical advice for storing, charging, and disposing of lithium-ion batteries. You can find it online here.
If you have old or unwanted batteries at home, a great opportunity to safely recycle them is right around the corner. The Twin Oaks Fall Household Hazardous Waste collection event will be held on Oct. 18 from 7 a.m.–2 p.m. Residents can drop off lithiumion batteries, pool chemicals, paints, and other household hazardous waste items for proper disposal.
Learn more at twinoakslandfill.com
Fire prevention begins with awareness and small, proactive steps. Whether it’s keeping a close eye on charging devices, planning an escape route with your family, or safely disposing of hazardous materials, every action helps protect you, your loved ones, and your neighbors.

ALEX CARUSO HONORED WITH PROCLAMATION
College Station Mayor John Nichols and Bryan Mayor Bobby Gutierrez proudly proclaimed Monday, Sept. 8 as “Alex Caruso Day” in the cities before the Alex Caruso Foundation Charity Golf Tournament at Traditions Club. In June, the College Station native and former Texas A&M standout helped the Oklahoma City Thunder win the NBA Championship. It was the second championship ring for Caruso, who won his first with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020.
Last year, Caruso’s charity event raised $25,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Brazos Valley. In 2022, the City of College Station named the basketball court at Castlegate Park, near his boyhood home, as “Alex Caruso Court.”
Pictured are (L-R): Oklahoma City Thunder Mascot Rumble the Bison, Mayor Gutierrez, Caruso, and Mayor Nichols.
HARVEY MITCHELL SHARED USE PATH CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY
TxDOT started construction of a shared use path along the south side of Harvey Mitchell Parkway in August. The 1.5-mile path will connect Waxwing Lane at the Jones Crossing development east to Texas Avenue. Construction has started near Waxwing and will move eastward, with completion planned in January.
The City was awarded a Transportation Alternatives grant from TxDOT for the portion from Waxwing Lane to the Larry Ringer Library, across from A&M Consolidated High School at Welsh Avenue. The City submitted the grant application in 2021.
In 2023, the City partnered with TxDOT-Bryan District for another grant application and was awarded to continue the path from the Ringer Library to Texas Avenue. The TxDOT Bryan District sponsored the additional section, so the City was not required to provide matching funds for that part, and the two projects were combined.

TCEQ staff reviewed key aspects of the plant's operations, including treatment process performance, equipment condition, sampling procedures, and operational records, to ensure compliance with the facility's state environmental permit.
Our Wastewater Operations and Regulatory Compliance teams played a critical role in preparing for and supporting the inspection. Their strong coordination and attention to detail contributed to the positive outcome. Our teams' ongoing commitment to excellence is especially important since the system operates 24/7, 365 days a year, to protect public health and the environment.
