ARTICLE II. FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS
Sec. 11-21. Inspections.
Docusign Envelope ID: 0D26D836-3FDD-8ED9-8196-7E4C991B0A5C
ORDINANCE NO. 1635-1
(1)A code enforcement/health officer shall inspect each food establishment within the City of
Pearland at least every twelve (12) months, and he/she shall make as many additional
inspections as are necessary for the enforcement of this chapter. Additional inspections
may be risk-based, at the request of the food establishment, or in response to complaints.
(2)The code enforcement/health officer, after proper identification, shall be permitted to enter
any food establishment at any reasonable time, for the purpose of making inspections to
determine compliance with this chapter. The code enforcement/health officer shall be
permitted to examine the records of the establishment to obtain information pertaining to
food and supplies purchased, received, or used, or to persons employed.
(3)The findings of a food establishment’s inspection shall be recorded in an inspection report,
and a copy of each inspection report with number score and corresponding letter grade
shall be provided to the person in charge of the establishment. It is the responsibility of the
person in charge to post the food establishment’s most recent letter grade upon an inside
wall or window near the main public entrance of the establishment, in a location readily
visible to consumers. The inspection report must be posted in a conspicuous location.
Such report and letter grade shall not be defaced or removed by any person except the
code enforcement/health officer. Any person, firm, or corporation who fails to properly post
the inspection report and the corresponding letter grade as required, or who improperly
defaces or removes the report or letter grade, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed fines or other
punishment as provided by this Code.
(4)Any food establishment wishing to proactively request a reinspection may pay a
reinspection fee and will receive a follow-up inspection within ten (10) business days. The
inspection report, numerical score, and letter grade will be replaced with the information
from the most recent inspection. Such proactive reinspection may only occur once per
establishment per twelve (12) months.
(5)Any food establishment scoring seventy-five (75) or below on an inspection must pay a
reinspection fee and receive a follow-up inspection within ten (10) business days. Failure to
pay the reinspection fee prior to reinspection, or a second score of seventy-five (75) or
below on an inspection, shall result in an order to immediately cease all food service
operations. Any person, firm, or food establishment proven to have failed to immediately
cease all food service operations upon an order from the city shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed
fines or other punishment as provided by this Code.
(6)If a food establishment located at permanent premises is being inspected for the first time
by a city code enforcement/health officer, a permit may not be issued until the location has
passed final inspections by the code enforcement/health officer, building official, and the
fire marshal, or their respective designees. If a food establishment changes ownership,
makes changes to the type of food establishment being operated, or significantly remodels
the permanent premises, a new inspection by the city code enforcement/health officer is
required. A food establishment may not store food, prepare food for, or serve food to the
public until the permit has been issued.
(7)If a food establishment operating or applying to operate at a permanent location fails to
appear for a scheduled inspection or cancels a scheduled inspection with less than twenty-
four (24) hours’ notice, payment of the reinspection fee must be made in full before a
second inspection will be scheduled.

ORDINANCE NO. 1635-1
(8)For a food establishment operating as a temporary food service establishment, all violations
found during application review shall be corrected prior to permit approval, and all
violations shall be corrected immediately when found during any inspection made in
connection with a permitted event. If violations are not corrected, the code
enforcement/health officer may deny or suspend the permit. Any person, firm, or
establishment who is found to operate, or to have failed to immediately cease operations
upon denial or suspension of temporary food service permit shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed
fines or other punishment as provided by this Code.
(9)For facilities not defined in this Chapter as a food establishment, but at which food is
prepared, cooked, distributed, and/or from which food is sold directly to a consumer
incidental to another primary use, including but not limited to schools, medical facilities,
nonprofit organizations, and day cares, these facilities may request a code
enforcement/health officer conduct a general health inspection at the facility. These
inspections are to be conducted in the same manner as food establishment inspections.
Sec. 11-22. Permits required.
No person shall operate a food establishment who does not possess a valid permit issued
to him/her by the code enforcement/health officer. Such permits shall be known as a "food
establishment permit", or,a "temporary food establishment permit", hereinafter referred to
collectively as "permit", "permits", or "food permits". Only a person who complies with the
requirements of this chapter shall be entitled to receive or retain such a permit. Permits are not
transferable from one (1) person or place to another person or place. A valid permit shall be
posted in view of the public in every food establishment and every temporary food
establishment. All food permits shall remain the property of the City of Pearland and shall be
issued in compliance with state law.

service permit after January 31 of a calendar year will be charged a permit fee prorated on
a monthly basis.
(2)Temporary food establishment permits shall be issued for a period of twelve (12) months
beginning on the date of issuance. The temporary food establishment permits expire on the
last day of the twelfth month after the permit was issued. Submission of the proper
application and any required fee(s) are required for issuance of new temporary food
establishment permits. The process to obtain a temporary food establishment permit is the
same whether it is a new application, or the applicant has previously applied for a permit.
(3)Food establishments renewing food establishment permits will be charged the standard fee
for the type of permit being requested until January 31, or the first business day after
January 31. If an establishment wishing to renew a food service permit submits the

original permit fee.
Sec. 11-26. Suspension of permit.
(1)The city code enforcement/health officer may suspend any permit issued under this chapter
with such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances, if the permit holder does not

temporary food establishment otherwise constitutes a substantial hazard to public health.
Suspension is effective upon service of the notice required by subsection (2) below. Where
a permit is suspended, food service operations shall immediately cease.

judge. All hearings shall be, as much as practicable, conducted pursuant to the Texas
Rules of Civil Procedure. If the permit holder fails to appear at the hearing at the time,
place, and date specified, the city shall present sufficient evidence to establish a prima
facie case showing violation of this chapter or conditions constituting a hazard to public
health which formed the basis of the suspension of the permit.
(5)If the municipal court finds that the food establishment was, in fact, in violation of this
chapter or that it constituted a hazard to public health, the court shall make written findings
of fact and shall order the permit suspended until all violations of this chapter are corrected
and any conditions constituting a hazard to public health are eliminated. A copy of the
findings and order of the court shall be either given to the responsible party upon
conclusion of the hearing, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the permit
holder. If the municipal court finds that the public interest will be adequately protected by a
warning or other penalties authorized under this chapter, it may reinstate the permit.
(6)Whenever the reasons for a suspension no longer exist, the permit holder or the person in
charge shall notify the code enforcement/health officer that the conditions under which the
permit was suspended have been corrected and that an inspection is requested. Upon
receipt of request and payment of any required reinspection fee, such inspection shall be
conducted as soon as possible and in no event, no later than three (3) business days after

findings are returned undelivered, such findings shall be served on the person in charge of
the food establishment, or temporary food establishment. Upon service of a written notice
that the permit has been revoked as provided herein, all food operations permitted by the

whenever the code enforcement/health officer believes the public interest will be
adequately served in the circumstances by a warning.

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ISSUE CERTIFICATES
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Pearland, Texas
(the “City”) will meet at its regular meeting place at City Hall, Pearland, Texas at
6:30 p.m. on the 24th day of August, 2026, which is the time and place tentatively
set for the passage of an ordinance and such other action as may be deemed
necessary to authorize the issuance of the City’s certificates of obligation, payable
from ad valorem taxation and a limited (in an amount not to exceed $10,000)·sub-
ordinate pledge of certain revenues of the water and sewer system of the City, in
the maximum aggregate principal amount of $3,640,000 bearing interest at any
rate or rates, not to exceed the maximum interest rate now or hereafter authorized
by law, as shall be determined within the discretion of the City Council at the time
of issuance and maturing over a period of years not to exceed forty (40) years
from the date thereof, for the purpose of evidencing the indebtedness of the City
to pay all or any part of the contractual obligations to be incurred for the construc-
tion of public works and the purchase of materials, supplies, equipment, machin-
ery, buildings, land and rights-of-way for authorized needs and purposes and for
the payment of contractual obligations for professional services, to wit: (i) con-
struction and improvements to Clear Creek Trail extending from Barry Rose Water
Reclamation Facility to the University of Houston Clear Lake within the City; (ii)
certain street, road and bridge repairs and improvements within the City including
by not limited to street construction in the Sherwood subdivision; (iii) certain traffic
signal improvements within the City; (iv) construction and improvements to the

in connection with the above listed projects. The estimated combined principal
and interest required to pay the Certificates on time and in full is $6,177,007. Such

a number of factors beyond the control of the City, and the City cannot provide
any assurance regarding the rate of interest that the Certificates will bear upon
their issuance. As of the date of this notice, the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding public securities of the City secured by and payable from ad valorem
taxes (excluding public securities secured by an ad valorem tax but designated
by the City as self-supporting) is $362,095,000, and based on the City’s expec-
tations, as of the date of this notice the combined principal and interest required
to pay all of the outstanding public securities of the City secured by and payable
from ad valorem taxes (excluding public securities secured by an ad valorem tax
but designated by the City as self-supporting) on time and in full is $502,103,947.
