Councilmember Miller also reported he attended the Brazoria County Cities Association

Councilmember Tetens reported he had attended the Library Board Meeting last Tuesday,

Tetens is President of Brazoria County Cities Association this year and commended him
on achieving this position.
Councilmember Wolff commended City Manager Wicker and Staff for their assistance in
changing the traffic signal at Highway 35 and Walnut to split phasing, which has
improved the flow of traffic at this intersection considerably.
Councilmember Wolff inquired of the continued construction of Magnolia Street from
Veterans Drive to McLean. City Manager Wicker informed that we have been in contact
with Billy Joe Plaster, County Commissioner, who is anticipating doing most of the
work. We have had the property staked according to the deeds that we have received
and are in the process of clearing the right-of-way. We plan to stake the sub -grade
of the road; establish ditches; lime stabilize the soil down about six inches; then
put the purchased base material in place, compact It; and then, under the repaving
program, have. the County put 1-1/2" hot mix on top. City Manager Wicker continued by
stating that, hopefully, this week we will be able to clear all the right-of-way.
City Attorney Robert Talton informed that we still need partial release from the
lienholders on two parcels of land. We have been unsuccessful in calling them, but
plan to write them concerning the status on this.
Councilmember Wolff inquired of the status of the right-of-way for the Hike & Bike
Trail across the school property just south of City Hall. City Manager Wicker
informed that Ms. Jackson has agreed to dedicate the right-of-way. We have not as
yet prepared a right-of-way dedication, but could proceed with this if Council
wishes.
Councilmember Smith reported we are making progress on the work on Mary's Creek; how-
ever, there may be some problems with right-of-way. He informed that we have
received a letter from Bert and Frances Jamison giving permission to cross their
property if we would drop all litigation against them, but they didn't feel it would
be in their best interest or necessary to convey any right-of-way easement. (Letter
from Bert and Frances Jamison on file in the office of the City Secretary.)
City Manager Wicker reported that we are receiving shipments of the garbage bags this
week and next and wi 11 be using crews from other departments to assist in making
delivery to the citizens. Hopefully, we can complete the project within the next
couple of weeks.

stating that they have finished most of the work in the Sleepy Hollow, Woodcreek, and
Dixie Farm Road areas. He stated further that we have just about completed 75% to
80% of the two lists approved by City Council.
City Manager Wicker informed that we have been in contact with representatives of the
Santa Fe Rai 1 road to discuss cleaning around the rai 1 road bridge at Mary's Creek.
They have agreed to clean some of the bank at that location with their equipment, so
we will, hopefully, be seeing some work within the next few weeks.
CITIZENS
1. Ben Best, 5203 Apple Springs - Mr. Best presented a letter from Representative
Jack Harris correcting his misconception that there was State bond money

Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers

Pearland, Texas 77581
Dear Members:
At their special meeting held on September 18, 1989, the Commission considered
Application No. 15, request of Rudy Schubert, Agent for Charles Wight, III, Owner,
for an amendment to Land Use and Urban Development Ordinance No. 509, from
classification General Business to Commercial on property located at 2601 S. Main.
The Commission discussed spot zoning, public hearing requirements and property

Council that Application No. 15 be approved. Motion passed 3 - 2, with Al Lentz and
Benny Frank voting against.
This is submitted for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Al Lentz, Chairman
Planning and Zoning Commission
AL/EB:pv
City Manager Wicker stated his approval of this request based upon the recommendation
of the majority of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Councilmember Smith inquired whether this change also covered the other property in
the existing area.
City Manager Wicker informed that Mr. Schubert had made application for zone change
only on the property that his client had control of and not the adjoining area.
Mayor Reid stated he believed the Council had an option to initiate a zone change on
the rest of that area if they so desired, and that this might be an item for the
Planning and Development Committee to consider.
It was moved by Councilmember Tetens, seconded by Councilmember Smith, that the City
Attorney be authorized to prepare the necessary ordinance for the next agenda to
change the zoning on this tract from General Business to Commercial.
Motion passed 4 to 0.

City Manager Wicker advised that the last State Legislative Session approved a
surcharge for depositing garbage at a landfill to be added on to whatever rate the
City pays to a contractor. This amounts to 17-112V per compacted yard and 10¢ per
loose yard of material that is deposited, which includes what our garbage trucks
haul, limbs and any other special trash that we pick up. We are not sure just what
impact this will have, but we feel the proposed $1.00 increase in residential rates
and 0.250 per month, per cubic yard, in the commercial rates will suffice.
In Council discussion, Councilmember Wolff stated that the Garbage Department was put
under, the Enterprise Department for the first time last year, and in checking the
records, it seems we have accrued money above actual cost of service, which could
possibly cover the cost of the State surcharge.
It was moved by Councilmember Wolff, seconded by Councilmember Smith, that Resolution
No. R89-29 be set aside until after the presentation of the City Audit by the
auditors.
Motion passed 4 to 0.

Secretary that the Pearland Journal had met all the requirements, thereby, placing it
on the agenda for Council's decision.
Resolution No. R89-33 was read in full by Councilmember Wolff.
It was moved by Councilmember Tetens, seconded by Councilmember Smith, that
Resolution No. R89-33 be approved on the first and only reading.

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE 1988-89 BUDGET
City Manager Wicker explained that before the new Budget goes into effect, if the
Council contingency funds have not been expended we normally adjust the budget by
allocating these funds to various expenditures. City Manager Wicker read the
recommendation from the Finance Director of the $5,000 Council Contingency fund to be
transferred as follows:
5505-1010 City Council (Travel) $1,000
5403-2260 E. M. S. (Radio Maintenance) 1,300
5401-3340 City Hall (Maintenance of Office Equipment) 700
5517-3340 City Hall (Utilities) 2,000
$5,000
It was moved by Councilmember Tetens that the $5,000 in the Council "Contingency fund
be transferred to the following accounts: City Council - Travel $1,000; E.M.S. -
Radio Maintenance $1,300; City Hall - Maintenance of Office Equipment $700; and City
Hall - Utilities $2,000.
Councilmember Wolff moved to amend the motion to include all of the fund balances, as
shown in the 1987-88 Audit, and then transferred all at once.
In general discussion with Staff concerning fund balances, Councilmember Wolff stated
he felt the fund balance revealed in the 1987-88 Audit should be reflected in the
1988-89 Budget.
The original motion by Councilmember Tetens was seconded by Councilmember Smith.
Councilmember Wolff removed his amendment to this motion.
Motion passed 4 to 0.
City Manager Wicker stated that there were several items pending out of the 1988-89
Budget that we would like to carry forward as an encumbrance into the 1989-90 Budget.
We still have the $25,000 for the Computer Aided Dispatch Program (50'l funded by the
State and 50% funded by the City) which we are committed to but have not paid for.
We still have not expended all the general fund accounts for the Street Maintenance
and would like to encumber $75,000 into the 1989-90 Budget. Under Sanitation -
vehicle maintenance, we are asking that the $10,000 available be also encumbered into
the 1989-90 Budget (to be used for repair of one of our garbage trucks). Total
amount requested to be encumbered is $110,000.
It was moved by Councilmember Smith, seconded by Councilmember Tetens, that we
encumber from the 1988-89 Budget into the 1989-90 Budget the amount of $25,000 to the
Police Department, $75,000 to Drainage and Streets, and $10,000 to the Sanitation
Fund, making a total of $110,000.
Motion passed 4 to 0.

City Attorney Robert Talton stated that originally we recommended this to Council
because the letter we received said we wouldn't have to change our budget in order to
participate in this rate increase. Subsequently, we received a letter requesting
$8,400 as our pro rata share. Upon questioning T.M.L. regarding this request, we
were asked not to drop out of the participation but that we also wouldn't have to pay
the $8,400. If, however, the case goes longer than the 90 days, then they will send
us a resolution asking us to approve a denial of the hearing of the rate increase and
45
that they would submit the $8,400 as part of the settlement with Texas -New Mexico
Power C o .
It was suggested that since we only have six customers affected by the rate increase,
that we send them the 42¢ times six, for a total of $2.52, as our pro rata share.
It was moved by Councilmember Smith, seconded by Councilmember Wolff, that we remain
participating in the Texas -New Mexico Power Company rate increase, with the T.M.L.,
and send them the just amount due which is the six customers times 420.

City Manager Wicker advised that subsequent to the last Council meeting, we have
drafted a basic Request for Proposal for study of the drainage for not only the
Corrigan North and Corrigan. South areas, but also covering some areas of Willowick,
and part of the Wil lowcrest Subdivision and part of the subdivision on the east side
of Woody Road, all the way to Hickory Slough.
City Manager Wicker read the following draft of the Request for Proposals:
September 26, 1989
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS ON DRAINAGE AREA STUDY AND DESIGN
NORTH AND SOUTH CORRIGAN AREAS
Name of Firm
Address
City
Gentlemen:
The City of Pearland, Texas, is requesting proposals for conducting Drainage
Area studies and providing preliminary plans for achieving flood abatement in the
areas indicated on the attached map.
The hydrologic and hydraulic studies in the area shall be conducted in depth and
field data shall be processed using the HEC -1 and HEC -2 programs.
Recognizing the significance of the influence of Mary's Creek on the drainage of
the Corrigan Drainage Ditch, the plan must provide alternative solution for flood
abatement in the area Linder study and provide complete construction cost estimates.
If you are interested in performing the engineering services required on this
request, you will need to set up a meeting with Councilmember David Smith, City
Engineer Dick Qualtrough, and myself in order to review specific requirements for the
work to be accomplished.
You will be required to submit a comprehensive preliminary engineering report
and cost analysis for the proposed work, your estimate of the cost of the required
survey and testing, and the time required for the preliminary phase report
completion.
To set up this meeting, please contact my office at 713-485-2411, ext. 302.
Sincerely,
Ronald J. Wicker
City Manager

After a lengthy discussion regarding the Drainage District's authority in this area
and whether the areas to be studied were large enough, it was decided this item would
be passed to a future meeting.
AUTtMZATION FIR CITY STAFF TO PROCEED WITR REPAIR OF ALICE STREET WATER W KM, NOT
TO EXCEED $18,000 AS PER QUDTATION FWM AUBREY ELLIS, BIG STATE PEW COMPANY
City Manager Wicker advised that the Alice Street Water Well has started producing a
little sand, indicating a problem down in the well. Big State Water Well, who pulled
the pump out, discovered there was a problem with the pump itself and also upon
televising the casing indicated there might be more problems down in the hole. We
are asking for authorization to proceed with the repair of this well up to $18,000.
It was moved by Councilmember Wolff, seconded by Councilmember Smith, that the
Council authorize the expenditure of up to $18,000 on the repair of the Alice Street
Water Well.
Motion passed 4 to 0.
AURIMIZATION FUR STAFF TO MAKE NECESSARY REPAIRS ON GARBAAC E TRUCK
City Manager Ron Wicker stated that we would like to send one of our older commercial
garbage trucks to the Plainview area, where they are manufactured, and have them
service it and bring it back up to a rebuilt standard, which can be done for approxi-
mately $10,000. This, we feel, will extend the service of this truck two to three
years, and it is greatly needed in our daily operations.
It was moved by Councilmember Wolff, seconded by Councilmember Tetens, that we expend
these funds for the necessary repairs of the garbage truck.
Motion passed 4 to 0.
