The College Station city council decided at the end of their last meeting (June 13), to consider in two weeks whether to get involved in Amazon drones application to increase the number of flights per day from 200 to 469.

The council was asked to oppose the application by one of the neighbors who live near the drone port, Bill Stockton.

Stockton’s comments were supported by another neighboring homeowner, councilman Mark Smith.

Initiating the idea of the council discussing Amazon’s application was councilman Bob Yancy. That was followed by comments from city manager Bryan Woods, mayor John Nichols, and councilman Dennis Maloney.

The discussion and possible action will take place shortly before the end of the Federal Aviation Administration’s comment period.
