Mayor Reid called the Public Hearing Meeting to order at 6:31 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARING: To gather public comment and testimony regarding amendments to the
Strategic Partnership Agreements between the City and Brazoria County Municipal Utility
Districts Nos. 21 and 22. Mr. Darrin Coker, City Attorney.
STAFF REVIEW:
City Attorney Darrin Coker reported the Municipal Utility District is waiting for its Certificate of
Convenience and Necessity (CCN) application to be processed. It has been proposed that
the parties amend the Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) allowing the MUD to construct
and operate its facilities as a temporary agent of the City. The facilities would be constructed,
maintained and operated by the MUD using the City's CCN. The agency relationship would
terminate once the MUD's CCN is issued. The MUD will also indemnify and hold harmless
the City from any and all liability associated with its use of the City's CCN. Although MUD 21
has limited commercial capacity, the proposed amendment will also allow the City to collect
Page 1 of 11 — 7/28/2014
sales taxes from the commercial tracts when they develop. The amendment will address the
immediate concern of getting water/sewer services to properties in the MUD, but the dialogue
has also presented opportunities for the long-term planning of infrastructure connections and
capabilities for this portion of the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ).
Municipal Utility District Nos. 21 and 22 Representative Tim Austin stated the Municipal Utility
District No. 21 is dealing with high fluoride detected in the water. The levels of fluoride is not
dangerous, but according to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) if
fluoride levels are over 2 milligrams per liter, it requires a notice to be sent to the residents.
The District is going a step further and is sinking a test well. It will be drilled to a deeper
aquifer level and mix the two water wells together to bring the fluoride level where it should
be.
CITIZEN COMMENTS: None.
COUNCIL/STAFF DISCUSSION:
Discussion ensued between Council and Tim Austin regarding the fluoride level and the
District receiving the Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CNN).

Pearland, Texas, awarding a bid for construction services, associated with the Sports
Complex at Shadow Creek Ranch Park, to the Crain Group, LLC., in the amount of

Mr. Trent Epperson, Assistant City Manager.
Councilmember Sherman made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Carbone, to
approve Resolution No. R2014-83.
President of Municipal Utility District No. 26, Michael Parks, 2309 Paradise Canyon Drive,
addressed Council stating the MUD Board has been listening to the voices of the residents of
Shadow Creek Ranch. The Board communicated to the residents regarding providing funds
to the City of Pearland for the water, sewer, and drainage infrastructure so other things can
be accomplished that were approved in the 2007 Bond Election. The MUD Board has been
able to do this without raising taxes. The Sports Complex would be vital for the development,
and property values in Shadow Creek Ranch. There will be a public meeting on August 21,
2014 for the residents, Council and City Leaders to attend and voice their opinions.
City Manager Clay Pearson reported Council is being asked to award a bid for construction
services, associated with the Sports Complex at Shadow Creek Ranch Park, to the Crain
Group, LLC., in the amount of $6,569,575.96. Construction is scheduled to begin in early
August 2014 based on a contract award tonight by Council. Construction duration is
scheduled for substantial completion within 300 days and final completion in 330 days.
Discussion ensued between Council and Assistant Director of Capital Projects Skipper Jones
regarding the removal of parking spaces and sidewalks.
Councilmember Sherman stated he would like to see the Amphitheater included in the plan
because that was something the residents asked for. He further stated he is disappointed it
has taken this long to get the park off the ground. Even more disappointed that the City is in
the position that it cannot pay for the entire park. Partly because of the economy, and partly
decisions made by past Council. It is not a good feeling here tonight, having to pull pieces out
of the plan because the City does not have enough funds.
Discussion ensued between Council and Assistant Director of Capital Projects Skipper Jones
regarding alternate items taken out in Phase 1, and putting them back in Phase 2.
Councilmember Sherman stated he does not want there to be a misunderstanding by the
residents if a certain agreement has been reached by the Municipal Utility District Nos. 21
and 26 that they are going to get everything they have asked for. There is already a shortfall
of the cost of some items and what the MUD is planning on funding.
Councilmember Carbone thanked Staff for the work they did on this project, and he was glad
to see a local business with the low bid. He is looking forward to getting this project started.
Councilmember Hill asked if there is a way to insure the items in the original bond that are
going to be taken off will be put back on.
Page 4 of 11 — 7/28/2014
City Attorney Darrin Coker stated in order to have the Municipal Utility Districts participation
there will be an interlocal agreement. The items Council is concerned with can be addressed
in the interlocal agreement.
Mayor Pro -Tem Ordeneaux stated there is a lot of frustration with something that was voted
on in 2007 and the City is just now getting ready to start the project. He wants to vote for this,
and he wants to get this moving, but he wants some assurance that it will get built the way it
was promised.
Voting "Aye" Councilmembers Carbone, Sherman, Ordeneaux, Moore, and Hill.
Voting "No" None.
Motion Passed 5 to 0.
Council Action — Regarding Shadow Creek Ranch Park — Municipal Utility District Funding
for Utilities. Mr. Trent Epperson, Assistant City Manager.
Mayor Pro -Tem Ordeneaux made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Carbone, to
approve the Shadow Creek Ranch Park — Municipal Utility District Funding for Utilities.
City Manager Clay Pearson stated Staff is seeking direction from Council to allow Municipal
Utility District Nos. 21 and 26 to go through a process where they would seek the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) approval, talk to their residents, and provide
funding to the City for the offsite utility work.
Mayor Pro -Tem Ordeneaux stated the voters in the Municipal Utility Districts had a chance to
build this park several years ago. Five years ago they had an election, and voted it down. He
would like to see something showing the residents have changed their mind, and they want
to spend their MUD tax money on a City park.
President of Municipal Utility District No. 26 Michael Parks stated he understands what
Mayor Pro -Tem Ordeneaux is saying. Since it was voted down there has been
communication between the residents explaining what a Municipal Utility District is and what
it can do. Through several community meetings the residents now understand how the MUD
can benefit the residents without a tax increase. In August and September 2014 there are
scheduled community meetings to hear what the residents have to say. If the residents do
not want the MUD to assist on this issue, then the voters will have spoken.
Councilmember Sherman stated just because a Municipal Utility District can do something
does not mean they should. This is a matter of fairness. This was passed as a City bond, the
voters came together and decided they want this project. As a City it is our responsibility to
build this park. He believes the MUD Directors in their hearts are trying to do something
really good because they want to get the park built. He also thinks it is unfair to ask the
residents to pay for a portion of the park when it should be funded by the City. He has talked
to a number of residents in Shadow Creek Ranch and the majority of them do not want to
assist in funding the park. He wants to see the park built, but he does not think this is the
appropriate way to fund the park, he feels there are other ways to do this.
Councilmember Carbone stated the Municipal Utility Districts came to the City wanting to
contribute to this project. He will accept funds from anyone that wants to contribute to a City
Page 5 of 11 — 7/28/2014
project. He has a problem when there is an elected official of the MUD Board stating he is a
resident, elected by the residents, and Council is going to say to him he is not listening to his
residents. He trusts the election process for the MUD that the residents put the right people
in place to make the right decisions.
Councilmember Sherman stated two weeks ago Council heard from representatives with the
Municipal Utility District No. 26 and Brazoria/Fort Bend Municipal Utility District No. 1. They
both were in favor of this process. He stated he read meeting minutes from both boards from
the last six months. There were only two instances where this topic was discussed in the
MUD meetings, and in both of those instances it was more of an overview. In one instance it
stated they were going to delay discussing this at a later date, and the discussion never
happened. He does not see where the MUD boards have come together to say this is what
they want to do. What he sees is the voters saying no, and the board is attempting to find a
way to do something the voters have told them not to do, and that is wrong.
Councilmember Hill stated if in fact the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)
were to approve the 80 percent, it would be money that is reimbursed, the short term debt
would be paid off, and it would not extend the life of the Municipal Utility Districts. It is a valid
concern and a chance that TCEQ will reimburse 80 percent.
City Attorney Darrin Coker stated he will share with Council what the Municipal Utility District
Attorney Lynne Humphries shared with staff in a recent meeting. Typically when drainage
utilities like these are put in, they are only taken to the property lines. In this case some of the
utilities will be going internal to the property. The Municipal Utility District (MUD) will have to
show the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), that the residents in Shadow
Creek Ranch and MUD Districts will be benefiting because of that expenditure even though it
is serving the City's property. That is why Attorney Lynne Humphries assessed it at 80
percent.
Mayor Reid stated Council needs to give the Municipal Utility District Boards a chance to
make a decision.
Mayor Pro -Tem Ordeneaux stated he would like to continue to pursue some other funding
options for the City in case the 80 percent turns out not be in the City's favor. He stated he
does not mind the Municipal Utility Districts moving forward, but he would like the City to
continue to do what they can to fix this problem.
Discussion ensued between Council and Director of Parks and Recreation Michelle Graham
regarding some wording and the prioritized list in the agenda packet.
Mayor Pro -Tem Ordeneaux asked for clarification on what is being voted on.
City Manager Clay Pearson stated Staff is seeking direction on whether to pursue the
Interlocal Agreements and Pre -Financing Agreements with the Municipal Utility District No.
26 and Brazoria/Fort Bend Municipal Utility District No. 1.
Discussion ensued between Council and City Manager Clay Pearson regarding the
difference between the Municipal Utility Districts providing the infrastructure or the City
providing the infrastructure that is needed.
Page 6 of 11 — 7/28/2014
Mayor Pro -Tem Ordeneaux stated he would like to amend his motion to state the Municipal
Utility District Board will come back to Council in September 2014 with a report for Council to
consider.
Councilmember Hill stated his concern that the motion as read on the Agenda does not
address the recommendation in the packet.
City Attorney Darrin Coker stated this does not need to be voted on. This is more of a
discussion on policy whether or not Council wants Staff to go down this path. The motion
Mayor Pro -Tem Ordeneaux made is recommending to the Municipal Utility District to come
back to Council with a report, and at that time Council will vote for the interlocal agreement or
not.
Assistant Vice President of Municipal Utility District No. 26 Caralynn Prade addressed
Council stating the first time the MUD was trying to vote this park in was because we saw a
need for our children. We were trying to get something in place, and may have rushed to get
it through. The voters not having been educated on what the Board was trying to do voted it
down. Both Boards would like to explain to the voters that there are so many children in our
area, and no facilities or parks for the children. We need to consider our children so they will
have a safe area and facilities to go to.
Discussion ensued between Council and City Attorney Darrin Coker regarding a vote is not
necessary because this is not a resolution or ordinance.
City Attorney Darrin Coker stated what he hears is the Municipal Utility Districts are to
present this to their constituencies, take formal action, and report back to Council.

regarding the publication of notice of intention to issue Certificates of Obligation.
Councilmember Carbone asked for an explanation on the City issuing 20 year debt without
the voter's specific approval.
Andrews Kurth, LLP, Representative Rick Witte, stated the Certificate of Obligation process
works with a notice provision. The notice is published twice, voters in the City have the
opportunity to present a petition before the meeting of September 22, 2014. If they present a
petition with 5 percent of registered voter signatures, then the City would have to have an
election. This process has been around a long time, it is frequently used by Cities.
Discussion ensued between Council, Finance Director Claire Bogard and City Manager Clay
Pearson regarding the breakdown of projects and issuing 20 year debt for current year
payroll.
Councilmember Carbone stated he is struggling with the City wanting to finance current
payroll out 20 years, and more debt to come for projects that have not been approved. He
understands it is necessary, but he does not necessarily agree with Construction
Management.
