In the documents there are no restrictions regarding the use of the funds. She stated the Golf Course is owned by the homeowners association. The operation of the Golf Course is covered by the resident's monthly maintenance fees. Also in the Bond documents it states the funds can be used for Parks & Recreation areas. The property is registered on the tax roll as Parks & Recreation. The Texas State Representative Ed Thompson who is a former member of the Pearland City Council is on the committee with oversite of TCEQ. The City has had this permit application turned in for almost two years, she stated she was told today she should hear something soon regarding the permit application.

She is here tonight to ask the Mayor and City Council for their support of this effort, and to abide by all the previous agreements.
