feelings concerning the proposed Sign Ordinance. He also explained he is the
minister of the Pearland Tabernacle Church and recently had his old off premise
church sign removed from the triangle of land where Walnut and FM 518 come
together. A new sign was placed across the street underneath a Pulte Homes sign.
Shortly after the sign was erected, Rev. Barnett said he was contacted by the

was in violation of the moratorium on off -premise signs. He was contacted
several days later by the inspector and told that the sign could remain at this
time. Rev. Barnett requested Council take into consideration provisions for off -
premise church signs in the new proposed sign ordinance.

to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be

taken Certificate, before any replacement Certificate is issued to:

ownership of and the circumstances of the loss, destruction or theft of such
Certificate;
(2) furnish such security or indemnity as may be required by the
Registrar and the City to save them harmless;
(3) pay all expenses and charges in connection therewith, including, but
not limited to, printing costs, legal fees, fees of the Registrar and any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed; and

purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of which such replacement Certificate
was issued presents for payment such original Certificate, the City and the Registrar
shall be entitled to recover such replacement Certificate from the person to whom it
was delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall
be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent
of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the City or the Registrar in
connection therewith.
If any such mutilated, lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken
Certificate has become or is about to become due and payable, the City in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a replacement Certificate, authorize the Registrar
to pay such Certificate.
Each replacement Certificate delivered in accordance with this Section 13
shall be entitled to the benefits and security of this Ordinance to the same extent
as the Certificate or Certificates in lieu of which such replacement Certificate is
delivered.

with this Ordinance, and all Certificates in lieu of which exchange Certificates or
replacement Certificates are authenticated and delivered in accordance herewith,
shall be cancelled and destroyed upon the making of proper records regarding such
payment. The Registrar shall furnish the City with appropriate certificates of

subordinate to the pledge of Net Revenues securing this Certificate and the series of
Certificates of which it is a part.

levied, assessed and collected for and on account of the Certificates authorized by
r- this Ordinance shall be deposited, as collected, in a special fund to be designated
"City of Pearland, Texas, Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation,
Series 1988, Interest and Sinking Fund". While the Certificates or any part of the
principal thereof or interest thereon remain outstanding and unpaid, there is hereby
levied and there shall be annually levied, assessed and collected in due time, form
and manner within the limits prescribed by law, and at the same time other City taxes
are levied, assessed and collected, in each year, beginning with the current year, a
continuing direct annual ad valorem tax upon all taxable property in said City
sufficient to pay the current interest on said Certificates as the same becomes due,
and to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of the
Certificates as such principal matures but never less than two percent (2.0) of the
original principal amount of the Certificates each year, full allowance being made
for delinquencies and costs of collection, and said taxes when collected shall be
applied to the payment of the interest on and principal of said Certificates and to
no other purpose. In addition, interest accrued from the date of the Certificates
until their delivery, and premium, if any, is to be deposited in such fund.
To pay the interest coming due on the Bonds on September 1, 1988, there is
hereby appropriated from current funds, which are hereby certified to be on hand and
available for such purposes, an amount sufficient to pay such interest, and such
amount shall be used for no other purpose.
18. Pledge of Revenues. The revenues to be derived from the operation of
the waterworks system of the City, after the payment of all operation and maintenance
expenses thereof (the "Net Revenues"), are hereby pledged to the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Certificates as the same come due, to the extent
that the taxes mentioned in Section 17 of this Ordinance may ever be insufficient or
unavailable for said purpose; provided, however, that such pledge of such Net
Revenues is and shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to the pledge of the
Net Revenues to the payment of any obligation of the City, whether authorized hereto-
fore or hereafter, which the City designates as having a pledge senior to the pledge
of the Net Revenues to the payment of the Certificates, and the City also reserves
the right to issue, for any lawful purpose at any time, in one or more installments,
bonds, certificates of obligation and other obligations of any kind payable in whole
or in part from the Net Revenues of the waterworks system, secured by a pledge of the
Net Revenues of the waterworks system that may be prior and superior in right to, on
a parity with, or junior and subordinate to the pledge of Net Revenues securing this
series of Certificates.

19. Further Proceedings. After the Certificates to be initially issued
shall have been executed, it shall be the duty of the Mayor of the City to deliver
the Certificates to be initially issued and all pertinent records and proceedings to
the Attorney General of Texas, for examination and approval. After the Certificates
to be initially issued shall have been approved by the Attorney General, they shall
be delivered to the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas for
registration. Upon registration of the Certificates to be initially issued, the
Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a deputy lawfully designated in writing to act for
the Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate
prescribed herein to be affixed or attached to the Certificates to be initially
issued, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile,
thereon.
20. Sale. The sale of the Certificates to Underwood, Neuhaus & Co., Inc.
(the "Purchaser" , at the price of $250,000 plus accrued interest on the Certificates
to date of delivery, is hereby authorized, approved, ratified and confirmed, and the
City Council hereby finds and determines that such price is the best reasonably
obtainable by the City for the Certificates issued in accordance with this Ordinance.
21. Books -and Records. So long as any of the Certificates are outstanding
the City covenants and agrees that it will keep proper books of record and account in
which ful 1, true and correct entries wi 11 be made of al 1 deal ings, activities and
transactions relating to the Certificates and the funds created pursuant to this
Ordinance, and all books, documents and vouchers relating thereto shall at all
reasonable times be made available for inspection upon request of any Owner.
22. Tax Exemption. The City covenants that it shall make such use of the
proceeds of the Certificates, regulate investments of proceeds thereof and take such
other and further actions as may be required by Sections 103 and 141-150 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and all applicable temporary, proposed and
final regulations and procedures promulgated thereunder or promulgated under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, to the extent applicable to the Code ("Regulations"),
necessary to assure that interest on the Certificates is excludable from gross income
for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
covenant, the City hereby covenants as follows:
(a) The City will not use, nor permit to be used, more than
10 percent of the net proceeds of the Certificates in the
trade or business of any person (other than use as a member
of the general public) other than a governmental unit ("pri-
vate -use proceeds"). For purposes of this Section, the term
"net proceeds" means the proceeds derived from the sale of
the Certificates, plus interest, earnings thereon, less any
amounts deposited in a reasonably required reserve or
replacement fund, the term "person" includes any individual,
corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or any
other entity capable of carrying on a trade or business; and
the term "trade or business" means, with respect to any
natural person, any activity regularly carried on for profit
and, with respect to persons other than natural persons,
means any activity other than an activity carried on by a
governmental unit;
(b) The City will not use, nor permit to be used, more than
5 percent of the net proceeds of the Certificates in the
trade or business of any person other than a governmental
unit if such use is unrelated to the governmental purpose of
the Certificates. Further, the amount of private -use pro-
ceeds of the Certificates ("excess private -use proceeds")
will not exceed the proceeds of the Certificates expended
for the governmental purpose of the Certificates to which
such excess private -use proceeds relate;
(c) Principal and interest on the Certificates will be paid
solely out of ad valorem taxes received by the City and Net
Revenues of the City's waterworks system. Further, no
person using more than 10 percent of the net proceeds of the
Certificates in a trade of business, other than a govern-
mental unit, shall make payments (other than as a member of
the general public), directly or indirectly, accounting for
more than 10 percent of such principal and interest;
(d) The City will not use, or permit to be used, an amount
exceeding the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) 5 percent of
the net proceeds of the Certificates to finance loans to
persons other than governmental units, directly or indirect-
ly;
(e) Based upon all facts and estimates now Down or
reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the
Certificates are delivered, the City reasonably expects that
the proceeds of the Certificates will not be used in a
manner that would cause the Certificates or any portion
r— thereof to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of
Section 148 of the Code;
(f) The City will monitor the yield on the investment of
the proceeds of the Certificates and moneys pledged to the
repayment of the Certificates and will restrict the yield on
such investments to the extent required by the Code or the
Regulations. Without limiting the generality of the fore-
going, the City will take appropriate steps to restrict the
yield on all proceeds of the Certificates on hand on a date
that is three years from the date of delivery of the Certif-
icates to a yield which is- not materially higher than the
yield on the Certificates (in both cases calculated in
accordance with the Code and Regulations);
(g) The City will not cause the Certificates to be treated
as "federally guaranteed" obligations for purposes of
Section 149(b) of the Code (as may modified in any appli-
cable rules, rulings, policies, procedures, regulations or
other official statements promulgated or proposed by the
Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service
with respect to "federally guaranteed" obligations described
in Section 149(b) of the Code); and
(h) The City will take all necessary steps to comply with
the requirement that "excess arbitrage profits" earned on
the investment of the "gross proceeds" of the Certificates
(within the meaning of Section 148(f)(6)(B) of the Code), if
any, be rebated to the federal government. Specifically,
the City will (i) maintain records regarding the investment
of the gross proceeds of the Certificates as may be required
to calculate such "excess arbitrage profits" separately from
records of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of
the City allocable to other certificate issues of the City
or moneys which do not represent gross proceeds of any
certificate of the City, (ii) calculate, not less often than
annually, the amount of "excess arbitrage profits," if any,
earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the
Certificates and (iii) pay, not less often than every fifth
anniversary date of the delivery of the Certificates, all
amounts required to be rebated to the federal government.
Further, the City will not indirectly pay any amount other-
wise payable to the federal government pursuant to the
foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal
government by entering into any investment arrangement with
respect to the gross proceeds of the Certificates that might
result in a "prohibited payment" within the meaning of Temp.
Treas. Reg. 1.103-15AT.
(i) The City will timely file a statement with the federal
P.—W government setting forth the information required pursuant
to Section 149(e) of the Code.
All officers, employees and agents of the City are authorized and directed
to provide certifications of facts and estimates that are material to the reasonable
expectations of the City regarding the foregoing as of the date the Certificates are
delivered. In complying with the foregoing covenants, the City may rely from time to
time upon an opinion issued by nationally -recognized bond counsel to the effect that
any action by the City in reliance upon any interpretation of the Code or Regulations
contained in such opinion will not cause interest on the Certificates to be
includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing law.
23. Qualified -- Tax -Exempt Obligations. The City hereby designates the
0
Certificates as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" as that term is used in Section
265(b) of the Code. It is hereby found, determined and represented that the City and
all entities subordinate to the City have not issued tax-exempt obligations
(excluding obligations which are "private activity bonds" within the meaning of
Section 141 of the Code other than a "qualified 501(c)(3) bond" within the meaning of
Section 145 of the Code) during calendar year 1988 with an aggregate principal amount
of more than $10,000,000, including the Certificates, and that the aggregate amount
of tax-exempt obligations (excluding obligations which are "private activity bonds"
within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code other than a "qualified 501 (c)(3)
bond" within the meaning of Section 145 of the Code), including the Certificates,
reasonably anticipated to be issued by the City and all entities subordinate to the
City during calendar year 1988 will not exceed $10,000,000.
24. Rebate Exception. It is hereby found and determined by the City
Council of the City that the City will use at least 95% of the net proceeds of the
Certificates for local government activities of the City (including governmental
units the jurisdiction of which is entirely within the jurisdiction of the City) and
reasonably expects that the aggregate amount of all tax --exempt obligations (other
than "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code) during
calendar year 1988 will not exceed $5,000,000. Accordingly, the City expects to
qualify for an exception to the requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code relating
to the required rebate to the United States. If the City does not qualify for such
exception, the City has covenanted in this Ordinance that it will take all necessary
steps to comply with the requirement that "rebatable arbitrage earnings" on the
investment of the "gross proceeds" of the Certificates within the meaning of Section
148(f) of the Code, if any, be rebated to the federal government.
25. Emergency; Open Meeting. It is hereby officially found and determined
that an emergency exists relating to the immediate preservation of the public peace,
health, safety and welfare, because of the proceeds from the sale of the Certificates
are required as soon as possible for necessary and urgently needed improvements; that
such emergency requires the adoption of this Ordinance and the holding of the
meeting, or meetings, at which this Ordinance is adopted at the time or times and
place held; the meeting, or meetings, at which this Ordinance was adopted was or were
open to the public, and public notice of the time, place and purpose of said meeting,
or meetings, was given, all as required by Vernon's Ann. Tex. Civ. Stat. Article
6252-17, as amended; and that such notice or notices as given are hereby authorized,
approved, adopted and ratified.
26. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be in force and effect from and
after its final passage, and it is so ordered.
27. Registrar. The form of agreement setting forth the duties of the
Registrar is hereby approved, and the appropriate officials of the City are hereby
authorized to execute such agreement for and on behalf of the City.
PASSED and APPROVED on first and only required reading as an emergency
ordinance pursuant to Section 3.10 of the City Charter on this 14th day of March,
1988.

DISPATCH GRANT APPLICATION THROUGH HOUSTON-GALVESTON AREA COUNCIL TO THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE DIVISION
City, Manager Ron Wicker explained that the actual application for this Handing has
already been submitted to H -GAC and passage of this Resolution would authorize the
City Manager to submit a computer aided dispatch grant application through H --GAC to
the Criminal Justice Division. This grant would provide computer equipment in police
vehicles. Mr. Wicker said he was not optimistic about receiving the grant; but he
felt it is important to keep this going so that when funds are available, we will be
first in line.
Resolution No. R88-10 was read in its entirety by Councilmember Tetens.
It was moved by Councilmember Tetens, seconded by Councilmember Bost, that Resolution

AWARD OR REWWON OF BID NO. B88-5, SURFACE PWARATIONt CIEAKM, RESURFACING, AND
WATER TREATMENT NP OF PARK SVR4C[ 1G POOL AND WADING POOL
Council reviewed the following bids:
COMPANY LUMP SUM BID BID BOND
WATTS POOL COMPANY $36,770.00 YES
QUALITY POOL SERVICES 28,644.00 NO
Assistant City Manager Don Birkner explained that this is the second time we have
gone out for bids on this project. The first time we did not receive any bids. We
then rebid with less restrictions on the bonding requirements. We received two bids,
with only one meeting the requirements. We would recommend, Mr. Birkner said, award
of bid to Watts Pool Company in the amount of $35,230.00 which would not include the
resurfacing of the children's wading pool. This amount is $5,230.00 more than we
have budgeted but we believe we can find funds in other areas of the Parks
Department's budget to Hand this project.
In Council discussion with Staff, it was brought out that the condition of the large
pool was such that the resurfacing needed to be done this year and it was pointed out
that we didn't receive more bids because most of the pool companies told us our
bonding requirements were too stringent. City Manager Wicker said he felt that the
bid bond, insurance and one-year maintenance bond were all important requirements to
have.
It was moved by Councilmember Frauenberger, seconded by Councilmember Bost, that Bid
No. B88-5 be awarded to Watts Pool Company in the amount of $36,770.00, which
included the children's pool, and payment be made from the appropriate funds.
In answer to question by Council, City Manager Wicker stated be believed the Parks
Department's budget could be re -adjusted for the difference in the amount.
