Mr. Bill Eisen, City Manager. Councilmember Owens made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Tetens, to approve Resolution No. R2005-88. City Manager Bill Eisen stated previously City Council has approved two different segments for the engineering design on the Magnolia Road Project. This portion will go from Harkey Drive to Veterans. The proposed firm to do the work is Othon, Inc., who has done a variety of projects in the city and a variety of road projects in the area, all with satisfactory results. Councilmember Owens expressed his concerns regarding basic project management services fees. In the future he would like staff to review project management fees and not pay them to review their own plans to make sure they are acceptable to the City. He would like to see project management not pay for Quality Assurance and Quality Control. Discussion ensued between Council and Mr. Wertz regarding the funds remaining for this project. Mr. Wertz advised Council this project will still be under budget. Councilmember Marcott expressed concerns regarding engineering firms being late on the completion of project drawings and submittals. He further stated there should be something in the contract to hold them accountable for them not doing what they say they are going to do. Councilmember Marcott stated this is not pertaining to Othon in particular; this is a general statement regarding all engineering contracts. City Attorney Darrin Coker stated that a penalty provision cannot be placed in a contract, but the City can account for damages for not meeting a time line.

R2005-91 — A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS, APPROVING CHANGE ORDER NO. 7 ASSOCIATED WITH THE BARRY ROSE ROAD PROJECT. Mr. Bill Eisen, City Manager. Councilmember Marcott made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Viktorin, to approve Resolution No. R2005-91. City Manager Bill Eisen stated this relates to a turn lane off of Pearland Parkway on the new Barry Rose. The design is being done and this is a firm amount to add to the existing construction cost. This is the least disruptive time to do it. Councilmember Marcott asked why this was not part of the original project. He would like Turner Collie & Braden to be prepared to answer this question at their next monthly update. It seems like an obvious thing to do. City Manager Bill Eisen stated this segment is actually on Pearland Parkway itself and design was done by a different engineer outside of the project management contract. That particular engineer already had all of the detailed information required to do the design because of having done Pearland Parkway. Therefore, it was not necessarily an oversight on anyone's part. Brief discussion ensued between Council regarding truck traffic on Pearland Parkway and how the turning lanes are getting torn up from the large trucks cutting the corners too sharp. Voting "Aye" Councilmembers Tetens, Owens, Cole, Marcott, and Viktorin. Voting "No" None. Motion Passed 5 to 0. COUNCIL ACTION — RESOLUTION NO. R2005-87 — A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS, FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAR NORTHWEST WATER PLANT (ELEVATED WATER TANK). Mr. Bill Eisen, City Manager. This item passed with no Council action taken. Page 8 of 12 — 5/23/2005 COUNCIL ACTION — RESOLUTION NO. R2005-93 — A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS, PERTAINING TO ELECTRIC UTILITY STRANDED COST AND TRUE -UP PROCEEDINGS. Mr. Bill Eisen, City Manager. Councilmember Viktorin made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Tetens, to approve Resolution No. R2005-93. City Manager Bill Eisen stated this issue of stranded cost is a by-product of electricity deregulation which occurred several years ago. The stranded cost is a description of utility companies that were primary companies in the area like CenterPoint Energy in the Houston area and TXU in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area which have built certain size generating and distribution capabilities based on the assumption they would have all the customers in their area. When deregulation occurred and they lost some of the customers, the costs that were for those customers they no longer have is referred to as stranded cost. There are some provisions in the Deregulatory Act that will allow those stranded cost to be recovered at least in part. The Public Utility Commission has now made a ruling on how much of those stranded cost CenterPoint Energy can recover. That amount is $2.3 billion. The question now is how is it financed. The cost of recovery comes from the consumer. The question is should that cost recovery include interest cost or carrying cost. It will be financed one of two ways. One is by selling bonds for the full amount and then pay off the bonds and interest rate out of customer charges and that way there is a 4.7% interest rate available. There also is the availability to recover over a period of time that calls for an interest rate substantially higher than the 4.7%. The City has been involved with a coalition of cities in the Houston area. The City of Houston has raised issues before the Public Utility Commission. The Coalition is recommending that all the cities pass this type of resolution that is being considered this evening. It will provide for a securitization or sale of bonds to finance the $2.3 billion which is the least expensive way to go. Councilmember Marcott asked if this amount is going to be tied into the rate base that is being paid. City Manager Bill Eisen stated yes; by anyone that is a customer of CenterPoint Energy. The Public Utility Commission has already said they are entitled to the $2.3 billion. CenterPoint Energy was asking for $4.2 billion and that has been reduced in large by the coalition being led by the City of Houston. Voting "Aye" Councilmembers Viktorin, Marcott, Cole, Owens, and Tetens. Voting "No" None. Motion Passed 5 to 0.

Mr. Nick Finan, Executive Director of Community Services. Councilmember Tetens made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Viktorin, to approve Ordinance No. 509-778 on its first reading. Mayor Pro -Tem Cole read into the record the Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendation to forward to Council for approval of Application No. 1226. City Manager Bill Eisen stated this is a zone case that involves property that wraps around the Lowe's Home Improvement Center. There is a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission to approve the zoning request by 5 to 1 as it is presented to Council this evening. Executive Director of Community Services Nick Finan stated this was one of those situations that was discussed previously. Negotiations were worked out ahead of time and the Planning and Zoning Commission did see the final document. Page 10 of 12 — 5/23/2005 Councilmember Tetens stated at the Public Hearing, he had asked for less density and more green space, instead there is more density and less green space. He feels that every high-density project that is approved, negatively affects the quality of life of the citizens of Pearland. He further stated he cannot support it. Councilmember Marcott stated he has some of the views that Councilmember Tetens does. The Planned Unit Development is too dense. He stated he expressed his concern regarding collector street parking. At the time of this application it was not anticipated or provided for. He explained his concerns regarding the parking and access to the walking trails. Councilmember Marcott also addressed the size of the proposed sidewalks and suggested they all meet the six foot requirement. Councilmember Viktorin stated in this particular situation this development provides a nice transition from Lowe's to the already developed subdivision there. The developer is constructing a city street that is part of the Master Thoroughfare Plan, which the taxpayers will not be constructing. It is providing town homes in Pearland where currently there are not very many at all and there is demand for them. Councilmember Viktorin stated he agrees with Councilmember Teten's comments in general, but applying a blanket statement across the board for our city is not particularly a fair one in this case. Mayor Pro -Tem Cole stated he likes the way it has been presented. It is a very difficult tract to do anything with. Mayor Pro -Tem Cole stated he concurs with Councilmember Viktorin's comments regarding the building of the road. Councilmember Marcott stated if this goes through, he would like to see the City construct the bridge or conduit or whatever the city does, so that the road can be constructed immediately rather than staggered. Brief discussion ensued between Council and Staff regarding the construction of the bridge. Councilmember Owens stated this is a good development. He has had several people contact him regarding the building of some of town homes, or type of village homes. Councilmember Owens asked if there is going to be any type of turning lane for individuals coming through Green Tee. City Manager Bill Eisen stated he does not believe that determination need has been made yet. City Engineer Doug Kneupper stated it will be reviewed during the first phase of development. There will be an overall traffic impact analysis prepared, and those kinds of issues will come out of that. Page 11 of 12 — 5/23/2005 Discussion ensued between Council, Staff and the Developer regarding parking and traffic issues. Voting "Aye" Councilmembers Viktorin, Marcott, Cole, and Owens. Voting "No" Councilmember Tetens. Motion Passed 4 to 1. ADJOURNMENT Meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m. Minutes approved as submitted and/or corrected this the 13th day of June, 2005.
