(C) on 14514 Hatfield Road be approved.

the Land Use and Urban Development Ordinance to change the classification from R-2,
Medium Density Single Family Dwelling District to Commercial on 14514 Hatfield Road.
Motion passed 5 to 0.
Mayor Reid explained that four cities, Pearland, Brookside, Manvel and Missouri City,
joined together through a legislative act, HB 2207, which authorized the formation of
Brazos Bend Water Authority, provided the four cities voted in a positive manner to
r•- join. The election was held on September 27 and all four cities joined. The
legislation also required each City's Council to name their representative to the
Board of Directors of the newly formed water authority.
Resolution No. R86-25 read in its entirety by Councilmember Tetens.
It was moved by Councilmember Tetens, seconded by Councilmember Roberts, that

City of Pearland to serve as a Director on the Brazos Bend Water Authority Board of
Directors. Said Resolution No. R86-25 reads in caption as follows:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
APPOINTING A DIRECTOR TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE BRAZOS
BEND WATER AUTHORITY.
Voting "Aye" - Councilmember Mack, Councilmember Bost, Councilmember Frauenberger,
Councilmember Tetens, and Councilmember Roberts.

RESOLUTION NO. R86-26, RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CREATION OF A NON -CIVIL SERVICE
00h" CLASSIFICATION TO BE CALLED "ASSISTANT CHIEF," AND APPOIl TME2U TO FILL POSITION
City Manager Ron Wicker explained that some time ago when he found it necessary to
bump back the then chief of police, it created some undesirable conditions,
organizational wise, such as the ultimate possibility of some bump backs from other
positions. After studying the situation, the newly appointed Chief of Police, Bob
Riemenschneider, recommended to Mr. Wicker that one new position for an Assistant
Chief of Police be created. Mr. Wicker stated he concurred with this and he and Mr.
Riemenschneider would like to recommend that Council approve Resolution No. R86-26,
which creates a non -civil service Assistant Chief of Police position. When the newly
appointed Chief comes on board October 20, an individual will be named to that
position. That individual will be Ron Coleman who is presently Acting Chief of
Police. This will then prohibit any bump backs down the ranks.

FEE SCIMMULE FOR EMERGENCY 1OICAL SERVICES
City Manager Ron Wicker explained that the E.M.S Committee, composed of himself,
Councilmember Roberts, Councilmember Frauenberger, and David Smith, Director of
E.M.S., met several times and discussed the possibility that at the same time the
Council adopts and updates the E.M.S. Ordinance that there would be some fees imposed
for emergency medical services in our community. We have reached a point in time
that in order to provide additional expertise utilizing other area -trained
paramedics, we are going to have to generate revenue.
The proposed Emergency Medical Service User Fees are as follows:
of W, 10141,*. 01 I0+0 `101' CA 0 H 1 4V D1' 0a,
Resident $ 75.00
Non -Resident 150.00
Industrial (Inside City) 150.00
Industrial (Outside City) 200.00
Commercial 150.00
Resident $ 37.50
Non -Resident 75.00
Industrial (Inside City) 75.00
Industrial (Outside City) 100.00
Commercial 75.00
DEAD ON SCENE No Charge
ELECTIVE CONTRIBMON
Resident (Inside City) $ 24.00 Yr.
35
Mr. Wicker stated he feels these rates will be competitive in the Pearland area and
this will augment revenues for covering some of the additional expertise we will be
providing in the E.M.S. and continue, if not increase, the level of service we have
had in the past.
It was pointed out that the $24.00 a year elective contribution by city residents
would be for a 12 month period from the date paid.
It was moved by Councilmember Bost, seconded by Councilmember Frauenberger, that the
Emergency Medical Service User Fees, as presented, be approved with a notation to be
added under the Elective Contribution, stating that each residential subscriber is
entitled to 12 months of emergency medical services without charge for self and each
member of the household.
Motion passed 5 to 0.
There was a brief discussion about the possibility of appointing another individual
from the Council to attend the Brazos Bend Water Authority meetings with the thought
of placing this individual on the Board of Directors at a future date.
