College Station Councilman Proposes A Second Early Voting Location

College Station City Council Waits On The City Of Bryan To Amend An Interlocal Agreement Related To Relocating A New Sewer Trunkline

The College Station city council tables a $1 million dollar change order on the design of a sewer trunkline that will keep it out of south Bryan residential neighborhoods. The motion made during the council’s April 25th meeting by William Wright came after hearing the city of Bryan has not signed an amended interlocal agreement that formalizes a resolution passed by the Bryan council in February. City manager Bryan Woods told the council that they have tried to get the city of Bryan to sign an interlocal agreement. Mayor John Nichols confirmed that tabling the vote applied only to the change order and not the rest of the design contract. While the new route of the trunkline stays out of Bryan’s residential neighborhoods, it does cross into Bryan near the Burton Creek wastewater treatment plant. The College Station council’s unanimous vote was to bring back the change order on May 23rd.
