CITIZENS
Loranzo Hendricks, 2701 Sunbird Court, addressed Council and stated he is coming to
Council to discuss water and the price of water in Pearland. In September 2006, his
water usage was 335 and today's usage is 134. The cost for the usage at 335 was
$149.98 and the cost for the usage at 134 is $102.94. He attended the meeting where
the water division requested an increase in the price of water which was passed by
Council. He is confused why the City charges the same price for water and sewer
usage and does not feel this is right. He also has an issue with the permits that are
issued to the big corporations that do not have respect for the citizens in the community.
The company near his development has polluted their neighborhood and has no regard
for the quality of life.

Mr. Nick Finan, Assistant City Manager.
Councilmember Owens made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Kyle, to
approve Ordinance No. 2000M-34
City Manager Bill Eisen stated this item is a zoning change involving a change from GB
to R-2. The property is located on the north side of Fite Road, west of Cullen
Boulevard.
Councilmember Cole stated he does not support this zone change and does not feel the
area is suited for residential.
Councilmember Owens stated he would like more information from Councilmember
Cole or Councilmember Kyle on why they do not agree with this zone change.
Page 4 of 13 — 7/9/2007
Councilmember Cole stated it is specifically with the way the retail office is designed to
go down Cullen Boulevard. He feels this zone change will leave a corner that is harder
to develop. He also does not like the way that a portion of the property is divided into
70 -foot lots. He feels the plan goes against some of the planning rules for the City.
Councilmember Kyle stated she does not feel this is the best use for the property. The
landowner presented a proposal to self develop this property without any real plan or
consideration to what was going on around the property.
Councilmember Beckman stated she does not have a problem with the zone change
but she does have a problem with commercial or industrial next to residential.
Councilmember Owens stated he is confused about the situation because the property
has been rezoned several times.
Voting "Aye" Beckman and Saboe.
Voting "No" Owens, Kyle and Cole.
Motion Failed 3 to 2.

good reliable source of water. The total investment is approximately $16.6 million and
the price of the water will be $0.45 per 1000 gallons.
Councilmember Cole asked, because the packet stated City Attorney Darrin Coker had
been working on the contract with Rob Istre, have any changes been made since
Council received the meeting packet.
City Attorney Darrin Coker stated there have been no changes made to the contract.
Discussion ensued between Council, City Manager Bill Eisen, City Attorney Darrin
Coker, and Rob Istre, Gulf Coast Water Authority regarding the Resolution.

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS, AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION
BID, AMENDING A CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT/INSPECTION SERVICES
CONTRACT, AUTHORIZING A MATERIALS TESTING SERVICES CONTRACT, AND
AUTHORIZING THE APPROPRIATION OF ADDITIONAL FUNDS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE SWEC EXPANSION PROJECT. Mr. Trent Epperson, Project Director.
Councilmember Kyle made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Cole, to approve
Resolution No. R2007-108.
City Manager Bill Eisen stated this item is actually three separate actions: the award of
a construction contract for the expansion of the Southwest Environmental Waste Water
Treatment Center, material testing contracts, and an amendment to an existing
agreement for construction management inspection. There has been an increase in
construction cost that has increased the estimated amount of the project.
Mayor Pro -Tem Saboe asked if any of the alternates or other areas of the project can
be done at a later point in the contract. For example, could the roof be constructed at a
later time to possibly save money in the budget.
Project Director Trent Epperson stated, because of the latest growth projections, Staff
reviewed the alternates in the project to see what is needed to be constructed now or
could wait until a later time. He feels the items that are being constructed at the same
time are necessary to prevent operational issues. The majority of cost increases were
in the equipment and these types of increases will continue to be present.
Discussion ensued between Council, City Manager Bill Eisen, Project Director Trent
Epperson, and Vernon Webb, Carter Burgess, Inc., regarding the Resolution.
Voting "Aye" Councilmembers Owens, Beckman, Saboe, Kyle and Cole.

Resolution No. R2007-106, as amended
Page 10 of 13 — 7/9/2007
City Manager Bill Eisen stated the City requested bids on this project and only received
one bid that was over the estimated budget for the project. There is no single reason
this has ended up in the situation but mainly that there were not very many companies
interested in bidding on the project. The City would be able to make up the difference in
the cost from the General Fund.
Councilmember Beckman asked if the cost of the project included the commercial
kitchen or if that portion of the project was dropped.
City Manager Bill Eisen stated that the commercial kitchen was dropped from the plan.
Project Director Trent Epperson stated the project has been being reviewed to see if
there is a way to reduce the overall cost and add a commercial kitchen back in building.
Parks and Recreation Director Jon Branson stated the commercial kitchen was
designed to enable to City to provide a better meal program plus have the ability to
generate revenue from the program.
Councilmember Beckman stated she does not believe it is a good idea to drop the
commercial kitchen from the project. She would also like to see the materials used in
the project be green and healthier for the citizens.
Councilmember Cole asked what the cost for the landscaping and irrigation would be for
the project.
Parks and Recreation Director Jon Branson stated the cost for the landscaping is
approximately $36,000. He is not sure what the cost for irrigation would be but the
irrigation system could be installed at a later date.
Mayor Pro -Tem Saboe asked, with the cost of this expansion per square foot, what the
cost would be to build a second senior center on the other side of town from scratch.
Parks and Recreation Director Jon Branson stated it would be approximately $200,000
or $200 per square foot depending on the design.
Mayor Pro -Tem Saboe stated he does not understand why the City is paying
approximately double the cost to expand a building when a new building could be done
for less.
Discussion ensued between Council, City Manager Bill Eisen, and Parks and
Recreation Director Jon Branson regarding the Resolution.
Page 11 of 13 — 7/9/2007
Clayton Dykes, Dycor Inc., addressed Council and stated he has worked on several City
projects. It is routine for several bidders to show up and work hard to get the bid. He
was surprised that there were no other bidders, but he is certain that he can work with
the City to reach more of what they feel the project should be. He stated the City would
need to approve his bid at the meeting, but he would be willing to sit down and
negotiate the final design and cost.
Discussion ensued between Council, City Manager Bill Eisen, Parks and Recreation
Director Jon Branson and Clayton Dykes, Dycor, Inc. regarding the Resolution.
Mayor Pro -Tem Saboe stated he will not vote for this item until Staff can find a way to
save cost.
Councilmember Cole made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Kyle to amend
Resolution R2007-106 to award the bid to the lowest bidder and notice to proceed
would not be issued until a negotiated change order has been approved by Council.
