The City Council of the City of College Station will consider the passage of an ordinance or ordinances authorizing the issuance of one or more series of interest bearing certificates of obligation (the “Certificates”) in the principal amount not to exceed $30,100,000 for paying all or a portion of the City's contractual obligations to be incurred in connection with constructing, improving, acquiring and equipping the following projects: (i) streets and roads including related drainage, landscaping, signalization, lighting,

The City proposes to provide for the payment of such Certificates from the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes in the City as provided by law, and from a limited pledge (not to exceed $1,000) of the surplus revenues of the City's waterworks, sewer and electric systems, remaining after payment of all operation and maintenance expenses thereof, and all debt service, reserve, and other requirements in connection with all of the City's revenue bonds or other obligations (now or hereafter outstanding), which are payable from all or any part of the net revenues of the City's waterworks, sewer and electric systems. The Certificates are to be issued, and this notice is given, under and pursuant to the provisions of Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271, Subchapter C.

The City Council tentatively proposes to adopt the ordinance(s) authorizing the Certificates at a meeting to be held at 7:00 P.M. on June 8, 2023 to be held at City Hall, 1101 Texas Avenue, College Station, TX 77840. The ordinance(s) may authorize an authorized officer of the City to effect the sale and delivery of the Certificates on a date or dates subsequent to the adoption of the ordinance(s).
