CITIZENS
Michael Klaus, 5016 Groveton, addressed Council and stated he attended the Clear
Creek Steering Committee Meeting last week. He stated the flood maps showed there
was more flooding along Mary's Creek then Clear Creek. Pearland is the third largest
community along the watershed. Houston and Harris County is the biggest. This can
make a big difference in the influence Pearland has on other communities. He stated
Page 2 of 16 — 6/14/2004
that additional studies would only be repeating current studies regarding flood plain
management and he has concerns regarding funding for the new proposed flood plain
management document. He gave information regarding the current flood plain
information already composed by the City.
Jerrell Montgomery, 5202 Magnolia, addressed Council and stated he has concerns
regarding flooding along Magnolia. He stated Southwestern Bell placed a major
junction box along Magnolia Street. In order to get to the box a drive was placed in the
area. A culvert was placed in addition to the drive in order to help in the flow of water.
This culvert has not been sufficient. All culverts between the junction box have double
culverts. The culvert for the junction box driveway is too small and causes water to
back up on his property. He asked the City to contact Southwestern Bell in order to fix
the problem. He further stated that the committee for the Southfork/Magnolia Roadway
had some discussions regarding the purchase of additional right-of-way on the south
side of Magnolia. He stated the south side of Magnolia has already given up right-of-
way.
Charles McMurrey, 5209 Spring Branch Drive, addressed Council and stated he read
an article in the Houston Chronicle regarding the growth in Brazoria County. It stated
the development of the evacuation route should take place along SH 36. He stated a
bond election would take place in the upcoming year for Brazoria County. He asked
Council to ask for help with the transportation and infrastructure needs of the City.
Mayor Reid stated the Deputy City Manager Alan Mueller has been working on the
proposed roadways to be submitted into the recommendation for support by the bond
funds allocated by Brazoria County. The City is planning to submit this information to
the County once completed.
