The general nature of the work to be done by the District at the present time is the design,

Texas. There is not now available within the area, which will be developed for single family residential
and commercial uses, an adequate waterworks system, sanitary sewer system, or drainage and storm
sewer system. The health and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of the area and of the
territories adjacent thereto require the purchase, design, construction, acquisition, ownership, operation,
repair, improvement and extension of an adequate waterworks system, sanitary sewer system, and
drainage and storm sewer system. A public necessity, therefore, exists for the creation of the District,
to provide for the purchase, design, construction, acquisition, ownership, operation, repair, improvement
and extension of such waterworks system, sanitary sewer system, and drainage and storm sewer
system, to promote the purity and sanitary condition of the State's waters and the public health and
welfare of the community.

District containing the Land under the same conditions set forth in Exhibit"H" which is attached hereto
and incorporated herein for all purposes.
IX.
A preliminary investigation has been made to determine the cost of the proposed District's
project, and it is now estimated by the Petitioners, from such information as it has at this time, that such
cost will be approximately $12,555,000.
WHEREFORE, Petitioners pray that this petition be heard and that your Honorable Body duly
pass and approve an ordinance or resolution granting the consent to the creation of the District and
authorizing the inclusion of the land described herein within the District.

construction contracts shall be awarded, and payment and performance bonds obtained all in
accordance with the general law for municipal utility districts and in full compliance with the
applicable requirements of the Approving Bodies. In addition to any other construction contract
provisions, any construction contract for the Facilities shall include the contractor's two (2) year
warranty of work performed under the contract. The District Engineer shall serve as project
engineer for the District for the Facilities construction, shall make a recommendation regarding
award of the construction contract, shall make monthly reports to the District Board of Directors on
the progress of construction, shall review and approve all pay estimates submitted for the District
Board of Directors' approval, shall submit all change orders to the District Board of Directors for
approval and to the City for its records, shall provide appropriate inspection during construction of
the Facilities, and shall recommend final acceptance of the Facilities to the District's Board of
Directors when appropriate. The District Engineer shall file all required documents with the TNRCC.
2.03. Acceptance of Facilities. Upon completion of the Facilities, the District Engineer shall
certify that the Facilities have been completed in substantial compliance with the Approved Plans;
the District shall certify that all bills and sums of money due in connection with the construction and
installation of the Facilities have been fully paid and that the Facilities are free of any and all liens
and claims, all according to the certification of the construction contractor. The District Engineer
shall provide three (3) copies of construction drawings of the Facilities to the District. The District
shall accept the construction of the Facilities in writing from the construction contractor. The District
shall then convey the Facilities to the City in accordance with the City's procedure for acceptance
of such facilities in areas outside the District and within the City and the provisions of Article IV
below.
2.04. Oversized Facilities. In conjunction with the District's design and construction of the
Facilities, as described in this Article II, the City may determine from time to time that certain
Facilities should be sized to serve areas outside the District, as well as areas within the District, or
the City and the District may determine that the District should construct certain water, sewer,
and/or drainage facilities outside the District to serve areas outside the District (in either case,
facilities sized or constructed to serve areas outside the District shall be referred to in this
Agreement as the "Oversized Facilities"). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.04,
the District hereby agrees that, in conjunction with the District's design and construction of the
Facilities as set out in this Agreement, the District shall cooperate with the City to include the
Oversized Facilities as required by the City. The City, in turn, hereby agrees that as between the
District and the City, the City shall fund its share of the Construction Costs of the Oversized
Facilities. In order to carry out the design and construction of Oversized Facilities, the City and the
District agree to enter a development agreement in the form attached to this Agreement, and
incorporated for all purposes, as Exhibit "A." If the Oversized Facilities are designed and
constructed by the District as part of the design and construction of Facilities (collectively, the
Oversized Facilities and the Facilities, the "Project"), the Construction Costs of the Oversized
Facilities shall be determined in accordance with TNRCC rules and regulations so that Project
Construction Costs will be shared by the City and the District on the basis of benefits received,
which are generally the design capacities in the Project for the City and the District respectively.

FINANCING OF THE FACILITIES
3.01. Authority of District to Issue Bonds. The District shall have authority to issue, sell,
and deliver Bonds from time to time, as deemed necessary and appropriate by the Board of
Directors of the District, for the purposes, in such forms and manner, and as permitted or provided
by federal law, the general laws of the State of Texas, and the Consent Ordinance. The District
shall not be authorized to sell Bonds until it has provided the City with a certified copy of the
TNRCC order approving each bond issue in which the TNRCC concludes that a District debt
service tax rate of $1.50 or less per $100 of assessed valuation is feasible in accordance with the
TNRCC's rules in effect at the time of such determination. The District's obligation to provide a
certified copy of the TNRCC order including such conclusion shall not be construed as a limitation
on the District's authority to levy an unlimited tax rate, it being understood and acknowledged that
the District's bonds shall be payable from and secured by a pledge of the proceeds of an ad
valorem tax, without legal limitation as to rate or amount. The District shall provide the City with
copies of the Official Statement and the District's resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds
for each issue prior to the delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser.
3.02. Distribution of Bond Proceeds. The proceeds of Bonds issued by the District shall
be used and may be invested or reinvested, from time to time, as provided in the order or orders
of the District authorizing the issuance, sale, and delivery of such Bonds and in accordance with
the federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the proceeds of the District's sale of
its Bonds.
3.03. Bonds as Obligation of District. Unless and until the City shall dissolve the District
and assume the District Assets and District Obligations, the Bonds of the District, as to both
principal and interest, shall be and remain obligations solely of the District and shall never be
deemed or construed to be obligations or indebtedness of the City; provided, however, that nothing
herein shall limit or restrict the District's ability to pledge or assign all or any portion of the Annual
Payments or Monthly Revenue Payments, to be made by the City to the District as provided in this
Agreement, to the payment of the principal of, the redemption premium, if any, or interest on the
Bonds or other contractual obligations of the District relating to the financing, acquisition, or use
of the Facilities.
3.04. Financing by Third Parties. From time to time, the District may enter into one or
more agreements (the "Financing and Reimbursement Agreement") with landowners or developers
of property located within or near the District whereby such landowners or developers will advance
funds to or on behalf of the District for the acquisition and construction of the Facilities. The
construction of any Facilities financed under the terms of a Financing and Reimbursement
Agreement shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Financing and
Reimbursement Agreement will provide for the District's reimbursement of the person or entity
advancing funds for the Facilities (i) from the proceeds of the District's sale of its Bonds, subject
to all the terms and conditions of such Financing and Reimbursement Agreement, including, among
other conditions, the approval of the TNRCC of the sale of the Bonds and the use of sale proceeds
for such purpose; (ii) from District funds lawfully available for such purpose.

ARTICLE IV
OWNERSHIP, OPERATION. AND MAINTENANCE OF FACILITIES
4.01. District Conveyance. As the Facilities are constructed and accepted by the District
in accordance with Article II, the District shall convey the Facilities to the City, reserving, however,
a security interest therein for the purpose of securing the performance of the City under this
Agreement. At such time as the Bonds issued to acquire and construct the Facilities have been
discharged, the District shall execute a release of such security interest, and the City shall own the
Facilities free and clear of such security interest. When the District conveys Facilities to the City
under this Article IV, the District shall also assign to the City the construction contractor's two (2)
year warranty of its work, as required under Section 2.02 above.
4.02. City Acceptance. As the Facilities are constructed and completed by the District,
representatives of the City shall inspect the same and, if the City finds that the Facilities have been
completed in substantial compliance with the approved plans and specifications, the City will accept
the conveyance of the Facilities from the District, and the Facilities so conveyed shall be operated.
maintained, and repaired by the City at its sole expense as provided in this Agreement. The City
shall accept ownership of the Facilities under this Section 4.02 in accordance with the City's
procedure for acceptance of such facilities in areas outside the District and within the City. If the
Facilities have not been completed in substantial compliance with the approved plans and
specifications, the City will immediately advise the District in what manner the Facilities do not
comply, and the District shall immediately correct the same; whereupon the City shall again inspect
the Facilities and accept the same if the non -complying items have been corrected. In conjunction
with the City's acceptance of the Facilities, the District shall provide the City with one (1) set of the
construction drawings for such Facilities.
4.03. Operation of the Facilities by the City. Upon the acceptance of the Facilities by the
City from the District, the City will operate the Facilities and provide services from the Facilities to
users within the District without discrimination. The City shall at all times maintain the Facilities,
or cause the same to be maintained, in good condition and working order and will operate the
same, or cause the same to be operated, in an efficient and economical manner at a reasonable
cost and in accordance with sound business principles, and the City will comply with all the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and
regulations.
(a) The City shall provide competent, trained personnel, licensed or certified as
necessary by the appropriate regulatory authority, to operate, inspect, maintain, and repair the
Facilities. The City shall inventory and maintain a listing of all of the equipment comprising the
Facilities as required to provide relevant information for the scheduled maintenance and repair or
replacement of the equipment comprising the Facilities. The City shall implement a scheduled
maintenance program for the Facilities and shall ensure that the Facilities are maintained in the
same fashion and with the same frequency as similar facilities owned and operated by the City to
serve areas outside the District.
(b) The City shall maintain all customer information and records necessary to provide
monthly billings to customers served by the Facilities. The City shall coordinate with the District's
consultants, such as attorneys, engineers, auditors, tax assessors, and financial advisors as
necessary to maintain efficient operation of the Facilities. The City shall respond to inquiries or
vehou09.62844 8-5-98
page 6
correspondence from governmental or regulatory authorities and the District's directors, customers,
or consultants.
(c) The City shall provide a monthly written report to the District indicating the total
number of service connections within the District. If requested by the District, the City may provide
a City representative to attend a District meeting to discuss any operating and maintenance
information regarding the Facilities.
4.04. Rates and Conditions of Service. The connection of improvements to the Facilities
shall be made by the City, in the same manner, by the same procedures, and for the same charges
as the City makes other water and wastewater connections. Water and wastewater customers
within the District shall pay rates and charges for such services to the City, on the same basis and
conditions as the City provides such services to similar City customers who do not receive services
from the Facilities; provided, however, in addition to the rates and charges imposed by the City on
its water and wastewater customers outside the District, the City shall impose on and collect from
each customer of the Facilities within the District a monthly surcharge of five dollars ($5.00) per
equivalent single family residential connection. The equivalent number of single family residences
attributable to any particular connection shall be computed in accordance with the service unit
factors set forth in Exhibit "A," as such factors may be amended from time to time by the City in its
sole discretion, provided that the City shall always apply the same service unit factors within the
District as it applies to other areas within the City. The City shall bill and collect charges from the
customers of the Facilities, calculated in accordance with this Section 4.04, in the same manner
and under the same procedures as it bills and collects from other customers of the City that are not
served by the Facilities.
4.05. Repair of the Facilities. After its acceptance of the Facilities, the City shall provide
all personnel and equipment necessary to perform repairs on, and shall bear sole cost
responsibility for repair of, the Facilities, including, but not limited to, service line leaks, leaks at
water meters, water main breaks, repairs to valves and fire hydrants, manhole repairs, and sewer
line repair and cleaning, as needed. The City shall not, however, bear cost or responsibility for
initial repair of any equipment or facilities identified by the City as in need of correction prior to the
City's acceptance of the Facilities under Section 4.02 above. The cost of all materials and supplies
used to operate, maintain, and repair the Facilities shall be borne solely by the City.
ARTICLE V
CITY PLANT CAPACITY AND FINANCING
5.01. Water Supply and Distribution Facilities. The City shall provide the District with its
ultimate requirements for water supply and distribution capacities. The City shall provide such
capacities at the District's boundaries. The number and location of the points of connection
between the City's water distribution system and the Facilities shall be mutually agreed upon by
the District and the Director. The City acknowledges its obligation to provide water supply and
distribution capacities for the actual requirements of the development within the District's
boundaries. Any water supply and distribution capacities so required by the District shall be
reserved and allocated by the City exclusively to serve the property within the District and the City
shall not use such capacities to serve any other property. The City shall at all times manage the
capacities in its water supply and distribution facilities so that capacity to serve development within
the District is available at the time such improvements are to be connected to the Facilities. The
City's obligation shall specifically include the obligation to expand, enlarge, and modify its water
vehou09.62844
8-5-98 page 7
supply and distribution facilities and to secure all necessary approvals of the Approving Bodies as
necessary to have capacity available to serve new improvements within the District. To enable the
City to effectively manage its water system capacities in compliance with the City's obligation under
this Section 5.01, the District shall provide to the City, by December 31 of each year during the
term of this Agreement, a written projection of the new improvements within the District expected
to be connected to the Facilities within the coming year, and such other related information as the
City may reasonably require.
5.02. Wastewater Collection and Treatment Facilities. The City shall provide the District
with its ultimate requirements for wastewater collection and treatment capacities. The number and
location of the points of connection between the City's wastewater collection system and the
Facilities shall be mutually agreed upon by the District and the Director. The City acknowledges
its obligation to provide wastewater collection and treatment capacities for the actual requirements
of the development within the District's boundaries. Any wastewater collection and treatment
capacities so required by the District shall be reserved and allocated by the City exclusively to
serve the property within the District and the City shall not use such capacities to serve any other
property. The City shall at all times manage the capacities in its wastewater collection and
treatment facilities so that capacity to serve development within the District is available at the time
such improvements are to be connected to the Facilities. The City's obligation shall specifically
include the obligation to expand, enlarge, and modify its wastewater collection and treatment
facilities and to secure all necessary approvals of the Approving Bodies as necessary to have
capacity available to serve new improvements within the District. To enable the City to effectively
manage its wastewater system capacities in compliance with the City's obligation under this Section
5.02, the District shall provide the City no less than annually a written projection of the new
improvements within the District expected to be connected to the Facilities within the coming year,
and such other related information as the City may reasonably require.
5.03. Letter of Capacity Assurance; Assignability. The City agrees that the City Manager
shall, upon reasonable request from the District, issue a letter of assurance to the owner of platted
property within the District confirming water and wastewater utility availability for such platted
property, based upon the standard City criteria published by the City regarding the calculation of
water and wastewater requirements for various types of improvements.
5.04 Financing City Water and Wastewater Capacities. In consideration of the City's
provision of water supply and distribution capacity and wastewater collection and treatment
capacity, the District agrees to pay to the City one thousand nine hundred ninety-seven dollars
($1,997.00) per equivalent single-family residential connection to the Facilities (the "Connection
Charge"). Equivalent single-family residential connections shall be computed in accordance with
the service unit factors as set forth in Exhibit "A," as such factors may be amended from time to
time by the City in its sole discretion, provided that the City shall always apply the same service unit
factors within the District as it applies to other areas within the City. The Connection Charge shall
be paid to the City by or on behalf of the District before the connection of each particular
improvement to the Facilities at the same time and manner as such fees are paid for improvements
in other areas of the City outside the District. The City shall not allow connection of any
improvement to the Facilities for which the appropriate Connection Charge has not been paid. The
City may amend the Connection Charge from time to time in accordance with the requirements of
state law; provided, however, the Connection Charge shall be the same as the connection charge
required outside the District and within the City limits. The District acknowledges and agrees that,
besides the Connection Charge, any new connection to the Facilities will be subject to the fees,
vehou09.62844 8-5-98
page 8
charges, and costs routinely collected by the City in regards to any new connection to the City's
utilities whether inside or outside the District.
ARTICLE VI
ANNUAL PAYMENTS, MONTHLY REVENUE PAYMENTS, AND DISTRICT TAXES
6.01. Calculation of Annual Payment. In consideration of the development of the land
within the District and the related increase in the taxable value of such land to the City through the
acquisition of and construction of the Facilities by the District and in order to enhance the economic
feasibility of the District and more equitably distribute among the taxpayers of the City and the
District the burden of ad valorem taxes to be levied from time to time by the City and the District,
the City agrees to collect and pay to the District a portion of the ad valorem taxes collected by the
City in future years on the land and improvements within the District (the "Annual Payment"). That
portion of the City property tax which will be returned to an in -city water district, including the
District, shall be at a rate of $0.15 per $100 of assessed valuation. The Annual Payment shall be
a payment of a portion of the City's tax revenues actually collected and received by the City,
exclusive of any interest and penalties paid by the taxpayer to the City and exclusive of any
collection costs incurred by the City. All Annual Payments received by the District from the City
shall be deposited by the District into a debt service fund of the District and shall be applied solely
to the payment of the Bonds and other debts, liabilities, and obligations of the District to or for the
benefit of any persons or entities relating to the financing, construction, and acquisition of all or any
portion of the Facilities.
6.02. Payment of Annual Payment. The Annual Payment shall begin on May 1 in the
calendar year following the calendar year for which the District initially receives a tax roll from the
Brazoria County Appraisal District and shall be payable each May 1 thereafter (the "Payment
Date"), with each such Annual Payment being applicable to the calendar year preceding the
calendar year of each such May 1 (e.g., if the District receives a tax roll for the calendar year 1998,
the Annual Payment for such year will be due May 1, 1999). Each Annual Payment that is not paid
on or before the Payment Date shall be delinquent and shall incur interest at the rate of one
percent (1%) of the amount of the Annual Payment per month, for each month or portion thereof
during which the Annual Payment remains unpaid. On September 1 of each calendar year, the City
shall cause to be paid to the District those portions of the Annual Payment which reflect collections
made by the City subsequent to the Payment Date. The obligation of the City to make Annual
Payments to the District shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with
Section 9.15 below.
6.03. Supplemental Tax Rolls: Correction Tax Rolls: Adjustment to Annual Payment. The
parties recognize and acknowledge that, from time to time, the Brazoria County Appraisal District
may submit to the District one or more supplemental tax rolls and/or correction tax rolls and that
each such supplemental tax roll and/or correction tax roll may affect the total value of taxable
properties within the District for a particular year and therefore the Annual Payment due and
payable by the City for such year. The District agrees that promptly upon receiving a supplemental
tax roll and/or correction tax roll, the District shall deliver such supplemental tax roll and/or
correction tax roll to the City. Promptly upon receiving a supplemental tax roll and/or collection tax
roll from the District, the City shall recalculate the amount of the Annual Payment pertaining thereto
and shall notify the District of the amount of such recalculated Annual Payment. Within forty-five
(45) days from the date on which the District receives notice of a recalculated Annual Payment, the
City shall pay to the District the amount, if any, by which the recalculated Annual Payment exceeds
vehou09.62844 8-5-98
page 9
the amount of the Annual Payment previously paid by the City to the District for the year in
question, or the District shall pay to the City the amount, if any, by which the recalculated Annual
Payment is Tess than the amount of the Annual Payment previously paid; provided, however, that
if such amount in either instance is less than $1,000.00, rather than payment within such 45 days,
the next Annual Payment shall be adjusted accordingly.
6.04. Payment of Monthly Revenue Payments. In addition to the Annual Payment, the
City shall make a payment each month to the District ("Monthly Revenue Payment") equal to $5.00
per equivalent single-family connection located within the District; equivalent single-family
connections shall be computed in accordance with the service unit factors as set forth in Exhibit
"B," attached to this Agreement and incorporated for all purposes, as such factors may be
amended from time to time by the City in its sole discretion, provided that the City shall always
apply the same service unit factors within the District as it applies to other areas within the City.
The Monthly Revenue Payment shall be paid by the City to the District within thirty (30) days of the
last day of the month for which the Monthly Revenue Payment applies (the "Due Date"). Each
Monthly Revenue Payment that is not paid on or before the Due Date shall be delinquent. If the
City fails or refuses to pay a delinquent Monthly Revenue Payment for a period in excess of sixty
(60) days from the receipt of written notice from the District regarding same, then each Monthly
Revenue Payment included in such notice shall incur interest at the rate of one per cent (1%) of
the amount of the Monthly Revenue Payment per month, for each month or portion thereof during
which a Monthly Revenue Payment remains unpaid upon expiration of such sixty (60) day period.
The obligation of the City to make Monthly Revenue Payments shall terminate upon the termination
of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.15 hereof. The City and the District acknowledge
and agree that the District is dependent upon the Monthly Revenue Payments in order that
development within the District may be competitive with development in surrounding areas.
6.05. Access to Records for Verifying Calculation of Annual and Monthly Revenue
Payments. The City shall maintain proper books, records, and accounts; shall provide the District
with an accounting together with each Annual and/or Monthly Revenue Payment, and shall afford
the District or its designated representatives reasonable access to its books, records, and accounts
for purposes of verifying the amounts of each Annual Payment and/or Monthly Revenue Payment
or recalculated Annual Payment and/or Monthly Revenue Payment which is or becomes due and
payable by the City hereunder. The District shall maintain proper books, records, and accounts
of all Bonds and the District's debt service requirements and shall afford the City or its designated
representatives reasonable access thereto for purpose of verifying the amounts of Annual and/or
Monthly Revenue Payments relative to the District's debt service requirements and general
operating requirements.
6.06. District Taxes. The District is authorized to assess, levy, and collect ad valorem
taxes upon all taxable properties within the District to provide for (i) the payment in full of the
District Obligations, including principal, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds and
to establish and maintain any interest and sinking fund, debt service fund, or reserve fund and
(ii) for maintenance purposes, all in accordance with applicable law. The parties agree that nothing
herein shall be deemed or construed to prohibit, limit, restrict, or otherwise inhibit the District's
authority to levy ad valorem taxes as the Board of Directors of the District from time to time in its
sole discretion may determine to be necessary. The City and the District recognize and agree that
all ad valorem tax receipts and revenues collected by the District, together with all Annual
Payments and Monthly Revenue Rebate Payments shall become the property of the District and
may be applied by the District to the payment of all proper debts, obligations, costs, and expenses
of the District and may be pledged or assigned to the payment of all or any designated portion of
vehou09.62844 8-5-98 page 10
the principal or redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds or otherwise in accordance
with applicable law. Each party to this Agreement agrees to notify the other party as soon as is
reasonably possible in the event it is ever made a party to or initiates a lawsuit for unpaid taxes.
6.07. Pledge of Payments. The parties acknowledge and agree that the District may
pledge the Annual Payments, the Monthly Revenue Payments, and/or any portion of either in
connection with the District's issuance of its Bonds.
ARTICLE VII
DISSOLUTION OF THE DISTRICT
7.01. Dissolution of District. The City and District recognize and agree that the City may,
pursuant to the procedures and provisions and subject to the limitations set forth in the general
laws of the State of Texas including, but not limited to, Section 43.074, Texas Local Government
Code, abolish and dissolve the District and assume the District Assets and District Obligations upon
a vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the entire membership of the City Council to adopt an
ordinance to such effect, if the City Council finds: (a) that the District is no longer needed, (b) that
the services and functions performed by the District can be served and performed by the City, and
(c) that it would be in the best interests of the citizens and property within the District and the City
that the District be abolished. In order to ensure that the property owners and inhabitants of the
City and the District are afforded sufficient time and opportunity to realize the benefits and public
utility to be derived from the creation and operation of the District and the financing, construction
and implementation of the plan of improvements for the District, and in order to contribute to the
financial stability and feasibility of the District by ensuring a sufficient longevity of the District's
existence to permit the District to reach a satisfactory level of financial maturity, the City agrees that
the District shall not be abolished until such time as the District is fully developed and has sold all
Bonds necessary to finance the costs of the Facilities and has reimbursed all developers and
landowners within the District in accordance with the Financing and Reimbursement Agreements
previously entered into by the District.
7.02. Transition upon Dissolution. In the event all required findings and procedures for
the dissolution of the District have been duly, properly, and finally made and satisfied by the City,
and unless otherwise mutually agreed by the City and the District pursuant to then existing law, the
District agrees that its officers, agents, and representatives shall be directed to cooperate with the
City in any and all respects reasonably necessary to facilitate the dissolution of the District and the
transfer of the District Assets to and the assumption of the District Obligations by the City.
ARTICLE VIII
REMEDIES IN EVENT OF DEFAULT
The parties hereto expressly recognize and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement
by either party may cause damage to the nonbreaching party for which there will not be an
adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in addition to all the rights and remedies provided by the
laws of the State of Texas, in the event of a breach hereof by either party, the other party shall be
entitled to the equitable remedy of specific performance.
