CITIZEN COMMENTS
Bruce Fundling, Mayor Pro -Tem Brookside Village, addressed Council and stated that
the City of Brookside totally agrees that every city has an ETJ (Extraterritorial
Jurisdiction). Mr. Fundling also stated that there is a pending lawsuit in Judge Hardin's
Court, now awaiting a summary judgement to determine if Brookside has an ETJ
because of the 100' strip running around Brookside Village. He further stated, that it is
their contention, that it is an illegal 100' foot strip. He said that he feels it is a little
premature to continue with annexations, until they have the judge's decision. Mr.
Fundling said that they are opposed to the annexation along Max Road which is the
1,324 acre annexation.
Cynthia Bruning , 625 Hill House, addressed Council and stated that she is speaking on
the Cullen Area Annexation. She said that she does not want to be annexed, however,
she probably does not have much choice. Ms. Bruning asked if they are annexed, who
will her Councilmember be representing their interest in her area. She is also concerned
about garbage pickup, and if asked if they could use garbage cans.

COUNCIUSTAFF DISCUSSION
Mayor Reid stated that we do not have districts in Pearland. All elected officials serve at
large which means they serve the entire city.
Project Coordinator, Allan Mueller, stated that under the City's contract with Waste
Management one of the provisions is that the residential customers must use trash
bags, instead of trash cans. It is more efficient for the crews, allowing the routes go
quicker, which gives the city a better rate. Staff is currently reviewing the possibility of
amending the contract to allow the option, to use trash cans, which may be sightly higher
rate.
Mayor Pro -Tem Wilkins asked when will the substation at Cullen be operational.
Project Coordinator, Allan Mueller, stated that the City closed on the property last week.
It is his understanding that we will start the first phase in the fiscal year budget 2000;
which will be for equipment storage.
