NEW BUSINESS
COUNCIL ACTION — RESOLUTION NO. R2008-11— A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO ENTER INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A PORTION OF FM 518 WEST OF SH 288. Mr. Bill Eisen,
City Manager.
Councilmember Beckman made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Cole, to
approve Resolution No. R2008-11.
City Manager Bill Eisen stated the section of Broadway from SH 288 to Kirby Drive is
currently being widened and improved. The developer of Shadow Creek Ranch has
completed the design for the extension of Broadway from where it currently terminates
at CR 48 to approximately half of the distance to FM521. The developer has also
indicated that he will complete the design of the remainder of the distance to FM521
and construct the entire section of Broadway from CR48 to FM521 when the
Kirby/CR48 section is constructed. Recent development in the area including Pearland
Town Center, Shadow Creek Retail Center, and ongoing residential development, make
it advisable to move forward with the middle section at this time. The City will fund the
project and be reimbursed by the Tax Reinvestment Zone No. 2 (TIRZ No. 2) for all of
the costs incurred in the same manner as Shadow Creek Ranch Development
Company, LLP (SCR) has done for all of the individual projects within their
Page 1 of 2 — 1/21/2008
development. Because the SCR developer will be overseeing design and construction
of the western segment, it seems both logical and efficient that they oversee the middle
section design and construction that will be occurring at the same time. SCR has also
demonstrated the ability to complete projects quickly and at a good price. As a result,
we have developed an agreement with SCR which outlines the terms and conditions of
their management of the project. SCR has agreed to manage the project at no cost to
the City and allow the City to review all bids for the project.
Gary Cook, Shadow Creek Ranch, stated Shadow Creek Ranch is happy to help the
City get the road built. They are building the westerly section at the same time so it
would make sense for them to assist with the remainder of the road. One of the biggest
benefits they can provide is helping with the documentation for what is required for the
Tax Reimbursement Zone No. 2 for the City to be reimbursed.
Councilmember Cole asked what the estimated timeframe for the project will be.
Gary Cook Shadow Creek Ranch stated with the City's approval, the plans could be
completed within a few days to be submitted to the City for approval. After this step,
there are a few other steps in the process but the project is expected to be completed
by the end of the year.
Voting "Aye" Councilmembers Beckman, Saboe, and Cole.
Voting "No" None.
Motion Passed 3 to 0, with Councilmembers Owens and Kyle absent.
