The College Station city council spent almost 12 hours over two days last week (July 15-16) reviewing the staff’s proposal for the fiscal year 2025 budget. More than 40 minutes was taken on a proposal to build a new public works facility that is currently estimated to cost $40 million dollars. Funding is divided over three fiscal years, $5 million is in the FY 2025 budget, $17.5 million in FY 2027, and $17.5 million in FY 2028. Councilman Mark Smith said he attempted to replace the 46 year old building when he was public works director. City manager Bryan Woods joined Smith and a council majority in supporting a new facility. Councilman Bob Yancy, who initiated the conversation by asking the council to reconsider the project, finished the discussion by withdrawing his request.

The Bryan city council adds to the city’s zoning regulations, where battery energy storage systems (BESS) can be located. After an explanation from councilman James Edge and Benjamin Johnson of the city’s planning department, the council unanimously approved restricting sites to industrial areas. In addition to being restricted to industrial areas, an applicant must also get a conditional use permit to build and operate sites that collects then discharges power during demand peaks. The Bryan fire department sought to keep battery storage sites away from commercial and residential areas in part because of the difficulty of extinguishing battery fires and how that could result in discharging waste runoff.
