Housing of Fowl Animal Ordinance
The document outlines an animal ordinance regarding the housing of fowl. It recommends enclosures be at least 50 feet from neighboring residential structures and limits the number of fowl allowed based on the enclosure's distance from dwellings. For enclosures 50 to 100 feet away, no more than 6 fowl are permitted, and for those over 100 feet, up to 12 fowl are allowed. The ordinance also declares it a nuisance if the keeping of fowl creates odor, noise, attracts pests, or endangers health within the city limits or 5,000 feet outside.
FY 21 Debt Issuance
The document discusses the City of College Station's public debt management strategy and plans for fiscal year 2021 debt issuance. It outlines a 4-step process for establishing debt policies, gathering community needs, evaluating resources, and reviewing the strategy. General government and enterprise projects funded by debt since 2015 are shown, with the new police station requiring a 2.5 cent tax rate increase. The anticipated terms and amounts of FY21 debt issuance are provided for various funds. Current planning for a potential 2022 general obligation bond election is also outlined.
FY 21 City Council Strategic Plan
The City Council held a retreat in February 2021 to update their strategic plan for the upcoming fiscal year. The plan identifies shared priorities, provides a framework for the annual budget, and highlights the community vision. Key revisions include strategies to engage the public during COVID-19 and share information about fiscal issues, core services, and infrastructure. The proposed fiscal year 2022 initiatives focus on areas like partnerships, broadband expansion, neighborhood issues, economic growth, mobility, and sustainability.
Pet Sales Ordinance
The proposed amendments aim to:
1) Define animal rescue organizations and pet shops or stores.
2) Prohibit commercially raised dogs and cats from being sold at pet shops or stores in College Station.
3) Require pet shops or stores to obtain dogs and cats from animal shelters or rescues and retain records for 3 years.
Unlimited Potential Request for Rehabilitation Assistance
The City Council meeting discussed a project by Unlimited Potential to fully rehabilitate 1115 Anderson Street. Unlimited Potential presented details on the project description and requested a Section 108 Loan Guarantee from the city to fund the rehabilitation within the proposed time frame. Council members considered authorizing city staff to work with Unlimited Potential on applying for the Section 108 Loan.
Rental Registration Fee Consideration
The document discusses a rental registration program fee consideration for the city. It provides data on the number of active rental properties from 2015-2021, showing an increase from 5,340 properties in 2015 to 8,930 currently. Failure to register rates have decreased from 9 cases in 2016 to 2 cases in 2020. The number of rentals converting to owner-occupied homes or changing ownership is also presented. The city is considering increasing the one-time rental registration fee from $35 to $60 to move towards fully supporting the program. Noncompliance would result in civil penalties ranging from $25 to $100 depending on the number of days late.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC Charlotte
A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteUniversity of North Carolina at Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
