CITIZENS:
1. Johnny Wallace - . Mr. Wallace stated that he feels enough
time was not given to the residents to prepare for the annexation. He noted that
the vote on issues before Council should be in "written" form so that it is private
and more evenly done. Mr. Wallace also stated that he feels that the annexation
201
was not handled fairly, that the citizens should have a vote on the matter, that the
water and sewer should be put in prior to proceeding with the annexation.
2. Henrietta Smith - Rt. 3, Box 307, Alvin, Tx. Mrs. Smith echoed some of Mr.
Wallace's comments with regard to the way the residents were treated concerning
the annexation proceedings. She stated that she still wants to be in the "country".
3. Vernon Smith - Rt. 3, Box 307, Alvin, Tx. Mr. Smith asked which Councilmember
would be representing their newly annexed area and he was informed that the
Council is elected "at large". He then stated that some questions had been asked
at the previous meeting to which they had not yet received answers and he asked
when they would be getting those. Mr. Smith wanted to know how many
annexations have been done in the last ten years, how much acreage or territory
has been taken in, and how many of these areas have received water and sewer
to date. He noted that it is his feeling that their words and comments are falling
on "deaf ears" and stated that if the water and sewer is not installed as promised,
the residents will take appropriate action.
4. Mary Price - Rt. 3, Box 350, Alvin, Tx. Mrs. Price stated that she did not feel they
were treated fairly, that they had been lied to, and that the city had hurt many
families by the way they handled the annexation. She stated that there is a
communication problem in city hall that needs to be addressed. Mrs. Price added
that she had more questions which she required answers to, such as: 1) "How do
we go about increasing the speed limit back to 55 mph on SH 35?" City Manager
Grohman replied that the State had changed the speed limit because SH 35 is a
state highway and the City has nothing to do with that. He stated that he would
look into the allegations that Pearland police officers were stopping people in this
area prior to the annexation. 2) "How do I go about getting the county roads that
our ancestors lived on named after some of our ancestors?" Mr. Grohman stated
that suggestions for street names should be submitted to him in writing as soon
as possible.
5. Clyde Lovewell - . Mr. Lovewell stated that he owns a trucking
company and owns five acres on County Road 128. He noted that he was not
aware of the annexation proceedings until last week. Mr. Lovewell noted his
opposition to the annexation because he wants to live in the country and does not
want to live in either Pearland or Alvin. He plans to sell his property as soon as
possible if the annexation goes through.
6. Johnny Wallace - . Mr. Wallace noted that there are 23
homesites in the area being annexed which includes one church, 13 businesses,
45 adults, and 8 children.
