Page 2 of 23 - 12/10/2001 7:00
thorough in their reporting and appreciates their attention. He attended the City's

Councilmember Seeger stated he was in receipt of a letter from the City of Seabrook in
which they advise other cities of the upcoming Draft Environmental Impact Statement
Public Hearing for the proposed Houston Port Authority Container Terminal. This Public
Hearing is set for December 12, 2001 at 7:30 p.m. at the George R. Brown Convention
Center. This letter encourages the City's input regarding the proposed Container Facility,
which would be located in Seabrook. He further stated that City Council needs to become
involved in this matter since it will affect the City eventually.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT:
City Manager, Bill Eisen, reported on an award the City received at the Texas Municipal
League Annual Meeting. This award was received for Innovative Plant Management,
which was a program instituted in the Pearland Parks Department by Pearland Parks and
Recreation Director, Ed Hersh. This provided for extensive plant care and plant
maintenance training for employees in the Parks Department. The demonstration of what
they learned is construction of the beautiful rose garden located adjacent to City Hall. He
further reported on the City's "Share Your Christmas Program", where 4 families were
"adopted". This program provided assistance to people going through difficult times. The
W intertest is scheduled for January 12, 2002, which will be a celebration of the season and
encourages everyone to attend. He stated in a recent Council Workshop some ideas on
ways to shorten City Council meetings were discussed. The first part of that process is
taking place this evening where the Consent Agenda will be utilized more than was done
in the past. The trend will continue for ways to implement some of the suggestions made
by City Council at the Workshop. He reported one of the officers with the Pearland Police
Department, Sam Alix, was selected this year to be one of the people to run the Olympic
torch.
CITIZENS:
Bob Lewis, 2905 Country Club Drive, addressed Council and stated he would like to lift up
the Honorable Mayor Reid who has been involved in the building of just about every
building in the City so far and will be involved in the new hospital coming to Pearland. He
presented the Pearland Regional Medical Center Team who were in attendance.
Don McCormick, 10851 Scarsdale, addressed Council and stated he is with the Pearland
Regional Medical Center Team. He further stated approximately a year ago he began
talking to the City about wanting to build a hospital in Pearland. They planned to do for -
Page 3 of 23 - 12/10/2001 7:00
profit hospitals in which physicians would fund. He stated he would like to share with
Council some development on the for side. The physicians have now committed to
approximately $1,500,000 in working capital and they will have approximately $7,000 t for
00
in total investment on their side. The feasibility study has been done and a contract for
management of the hospital has also been done. The package was completed after the
feasibility study, which was submitted to a number of lenders. The first lender responded
with a loan request for approximately $63,000,000. The potential lender stated they would
let them know their decision within 21 days.
Walton Huff, 2211 Cherry Tree Ridge, addressed Council and stated he is with World Med,
Inc., who conducted the feasibility study. He further stated what they have done is put
together a 3 -project structure in a holding company by the name of Physicians Facility
Development Corporation. Underneath that is Pearland Regional Medical Center and then
Pearland Regional Professional Building. Initially, the plan is to have a 56 -bed hospital
with full emergency room support, labor and delivery, and other ancillary supports, to
provide a broad range of services to the community. They have gone through extensive
efforts on pricing for-profit versus not-for-profit operations based on the current cost of
capital, what can be provided in long-term, and what savings might be involved in taxes
and other issues. The bottom line they came up with is that for-profit makes more sense
as far as a pricing standpoint. The community objectives have been at the forefront of
what they have come up with, with those objectives being quality health care services and
a full range of services with a significant percent dedicated for indigent care.
Richard Vincent, 3530 Raincloud Way, addressed Council and stated he is chairman of
the AFC Group. The concept they have is for something that brings back the old time
community feel of the hospital where there is a small nurse -to -patient ratio and has a high
level of care, much like a physicians office.
Mayor Reid suggested a Workshop be scheduled for a later date to hear more specific and
detailed project information regarding the proposed hospital.

REPEALER CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE;
AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY BECAUSE THE NEED TO CLARIFY BOUNDARIES
BETWEEN ADJACENT MUNICIPALITIES INURES TO THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC
AND, THEREFORE, BEARS DIRECTLY UPON THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE
OF THE CITIZENRY. Mr. Darrin Coker, City Attorney.
Councilmember Owens made the motion, seconded by Mayor Pro -Tem Marcott, to amend
Ordinance No. 1045 to reflect that the conditional language be removed from the
ordinance.
City Manager, Bill Eisen, stated this item was previously discussed at a Public Hearing with
regard to the disannexation of this tract of land located at the rear of a piece of property
Page 15 of 23 - 12/10/2001 7:00
which would be occupied by Wal-Mart. The piece of property is located partly in and partly
out of the City limits. There had been discussion on some concerns with regards to what
kind of development standards would apply to the piece of property if it were developed
outside the City limits. There have also been conversations ongoing between Wal -Mart's
ownership and Municipal Utility District No. 6, which is contemplating annexation of the
property. The discussions have centered around Wal-Mart agreeing to the development
standards of Municipal Utility District No. 6. In the course of those discussions, Wal-Mart
has agreed to some but not all of these standards. In order to receive water or wastewater
services, Wal-Mart would have to be annexed into Municipal Utility District No. 6 and this
would have to be approved by Council. He stated that hopefully by the time this issue
comes before Council there will be a formal agreement between the two parties.
City Attorney, Darrin Coker, stated according to City Charter, anytime the City disannexes
property the property owner is still liable for the taxes on that property. The City is
supposed to levy any taxes until the responsibility of any debt that was issued, while that
property was part of the City, is retired. In this particular case, Deputy City Manager, Alan
Mueller, contacted the City's Financial Advisor, Frank Ildebrando, and they ran some
numbers. When calculating the value of the property against the total assessed valuation
that the City has, which is $1,800,000,000, their pro rata share is .0067%, which equates
to $909.98. Once the City receives payment of that $909.98, the property owners would
be relieved of any obligation of any debts incurred through the general obligation bonds
that were issued since the property was annexed. There were two general obligation
bonds issued from 1998 to present and those are the ones for which they would have
responsibility and that is what the $909.98 represents. Section 1 of the disannexation
ordinance states that the boundaries of the City are hereby adjusted, provided the property
is developed in accordance with the development standards applicable to other commercial
developments in Municipal Utility District No. 6. He stated it his recommendation that the
motion to approve this disannexation ordinance be amended to reflect that the conditional
language be removed from the ordinance.

COUNCIL ACTION - RESOLUTION NO. R2001-175 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER
OR HIS DESIGNEE TO ENTER INTO AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH BRAZORIA
COUNTY FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF THE PEARLAND/MANVEL LANDFILL SITE. Mr.
Darrin Coker City A ttorney.
Councilmember Seeger made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Owens, to
approve Resolution No. R2001-175.
City Manager, Bill Eisen, stated some months ago the City received notice from TNRCC
and EPA that they had some concerns with material buried in an old landfill that was
operated at one time by the City of Pearland. The result of this is that discussions began
in terms of if the City could obtain engineering services to do some of the initial
assessments that would be required.
City Attorney, Darrin Coker, stated that this property is not owned by the City but was given
to the City, for a brief time, by Brazoria County. The agreement with Brazoria County had
a reversionary clause that stated after the City stopped using it as a landfill it would revert
back to the County. Brazoria County acknowledges this but when it comes to
environmental remediation the State does not look to who the current property owner is but
the chain of title and who would have had possession and ownership at that time since it
is not sure when the property could have been contaminated. Since the property does
belong to Brazoria County, they have taken the lead role and have contracted with an
Page 18 of 23 - 12/10/2001 7:00
environmental consultant, Berg Oliver Associates, Inc., who will be doing the assessment
on this property. This agreement is to reimburse Brazoria County for some of their
expenses in this process.

environmental assessment.
