of 5 -year Capital Improvement Plan.
Senior Projects Manager Alan Mueller explained that the City Charter specifies that the Planning
Commission is annually supposed to recommend a Capital Improvement Program to the City
Manager. He stated that the hand out is what the staff has put together based on discussions that
took place with City Council in the fall. He then explained that last year there were twice the
amount of projects and the reason for this is because they were in a far right column for "future"
use with no funding attached to them; meaning, that something needed to be done one day. He
stated that Council would like to program $15,000,000 over the next three years for traditional
capital improvements based on their priorities. He then asked if they had any comments,
suggestions, revisions, additions, or deletions.
Chairperson Mary Starr asked about grant money and Mr. Mueller explained that the projects
listed with the asterisks behind them (1,2,3,7, and 9) are generally 80% funded by Texas
Department of Transportation. Chairperson Starr then asked about number 6 (Pearland Parkway -
McHard to Beltway 8), and Mr. Mueller explained that this was the loop demonstration project,
and stated that they did request 80% funding and only actually received 70 %.

then he made a motion to forward the 5 -year Capital Improvement Plan to City Council, and Vice
Chairman Scott seconded the motion.
Motion passed 5 to 0.
