CITIZEN COMMENTS:
Larry Marcott, 3606 Inverness Court, addressed Council stating he is asking for support from
the citizens. Pearland Citizens for Economic Freedom. He said they need 8,000 signatures of
registered voters in Pearland so the City can collect the sales tax for alcohol. Every dollar that
is spent the City will get one and a half cents. That will amount up to a lot of money. This will
help the City with sales tax so hopefully the residents will not get their taxes raised. It will also
allow for more entertainment so people will stay in Pearland.
Lance Foss, 1409 O'Day Road #57, addressed Council stating he wants all of what he states
included in the record. He stated he considers Human Resources evil. There have been no
raises in Pearland for years. Lie detectors for any reason are not good enough, false
advertising for jobs, hiring deadlines are extended or closed and reopened to hire who they
want to hire. Thousands of dollars is spent for political covering for increased salaries for
Page 1 of 14 - 12/07/2015
highly paid people. Just like political covering was done for three quarters of a million dollars
to know where the potholes are. There is a silent clause in the City of Pearland to not cause
public embarrassment and because of that people do not speak, show up or participate. '
$65,000 is spent for ammunition for the Police department. A nine millimeter round cost 20
cents retail in volume, which would equal 325,000 nine millimeter bullets. That is enough to
put 3 bullets in every person in Pearland. He stated he would like for someone to get back to
him regarding the meaning of a repealer clause. He stated regarding water and sewer there
are thousands of dollars spent at a time and to his knowledge there is no public expertise and
very limited staff and political expertise. He suggested a citizen board be created that
develops an expertise and can be in an advisory capacity of water & sewer where hundreds
of thousands of dollars is spent that the citizens must pay.
Mayor Reid recognized and thanked Carol Artz-Bucek President of the Pearland Chamber of
Commerce and the Youth Action Council for attending the Council meeting.
