I. INTRODUCTION. This Service Plan ("Plan") is made by the City of Pearland, Texas ("City") pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Local Government Code ("the Act"). This Plan relates to the annexation by the City of approximately 37.90 acres of land located in two tracts ("Tracts") adjacent to Green Tee Terrace Subdivision in Harris County. The Tracts are described by metes and bounds in "Exhibits A & B" which are attached to this Plan and to the annexation ordinance of which this Plan is a part. II. TERM: EFFECTIVE DATE. This Plan shall be in effect for a term of ten years commencing on the effective date of the annexation of the Tract. Renewal of this Plan shall be at the option of the City. Such option may be exercised by the adoption of an ordinance by the City Council which refers to this Plan and specifically renews this Plan for a stated period of time. III. SERVICE PROGRAMS. A. In General. This Plan includes two service programs: (i) the Early Action Program, described below, and (ii) a Capital Improvement Program described below. B. Scope and Quality of Services. Services under this Plan shall equal or exceed the number of services and the level of services in existence in the Tract prior to annexation. However, it is not the intent of this Plan to require that a uniform level of services be provided to all areas of the City (including the Tracts) where differing characteristics of topography, land utilization and population density are considered as sufficient basis for providing differing service levels. 1 503 29 3599 C. Definitions. 1. As used in this Plan, providing services includes having services provided by any method or means by which the City extends municipal services to any other area of the City. This may include causing or allowing private utilities, governmental entities and other public service organizations to provide such services, in whole or part. 2. As used in this Plan, the phrase "standard policies and procedures" means those policies and procedures of the City applicable to a particular service which are in effect either at the time that the service is requested or at the time that the service is made available or provided. The policies and procedures may require that a specific type of request be made, such as an application or a petition. They may require that fees or charges be paid, and they may include eligibility requirements and similar provisions. D. Early Action Program. 1. Statutory Services. The statutory services will be provided within the Tract within the period required by State law. Service will be provided immediately upon annexation in the case of police, fire protection and emergency medical service, within thirty days of annexation for solid waste collection, and within sixty days for all other services. The statutory services are as follows: a. Police Protection. The Police Department of the City will provide protection and law enforcement in the Tracts. These activities will include normal patrols and responses, the handling of complaints and incident reports, and, as appropriate, support by special units of the Department. b. Fire Protection. The Pearland Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) of the City of Pearland will serve the area in cooperation with VFDs in the area according to mutually agreed to procedures. c. Emergency Medical Service. The Pearland Emergency Medical Service (EMS) will provide emergency medical service to the Tracts under a contract with the City. d. Solid Waste Collection. Service will be provided to eligible property by private contractor, under contract with the City. To be eligible for City solid waste collection, service property must 2 50 20-3600 have frontage on a public street and place solid waste in containers approved for the specific type of occupancy. e. Maintenance of Water and Wastewater Facilities. The Tract will be served directly by the City using the rates and policies of the City. Capital recovery charges or impact fees will be assessed upon issuance of building permits for lots developed within the Tracts. The City will make wastewater treatment capacity, either in existing wastewater treatment plants or in wastewater treatment facilities to be built by the City, available for the Tracts. The cost of connecting to available lines will be the responsibility of the Tracts owners, as it is within the existing City utility system. The City will make water available to the Tracts according to the line capacity of existing lines in the vicinity of the Tracts. The cost of connecting to available lines will be the responsibility of the Tracts owners, as it is within the existing City utility system. City ordinances also provide for the installation of a separate meter for irrigation systems. A customer with such a meter is billed, but does not pay a City sewer charge on this water use. f. Maintenance of Road and Streets (including lighting). The Department of Public Works will provide maintenance of roads, streets, and traffic control devices over which the City will have jurisdiction. Street lighting will be maintained on all public thoroughfares at the City's expense through a contract with Houston Light and Power. 9. Maintenance of Parks, Playgrounds and Swimming Pools. Since there are no such public facilities within the Tracts, any future maintenance of parks, playgrounds and swimming pools will result from the acquisition and development of such by the City Parks and Recreation Department. The Parks and Recreation Department will include the area in its planning for future facilities and its acquisition program. h. Maintenance of Any Other Publicly -Owned Facility, Building or Service. Those drainage facilities associated with City maintained public streets will be maintained by the Department of Public Works. Should any other facilities, buildings or 5 3-Z9-3Q1. services be constructed or located by the City within the Tracts, an appropriate City department will provide maintenance services for them. 2. Additional Services. Certain services, in addition to the statutory services, will be provided within the Tracts to the same extent they are provided to similar territories elsewhere in the City. These are as follows: a. Library Service will be provided from existing facilities and future facilities outside the Tracts. As population in this area within the City of grows, it will be considered for the development of additional facilities. Residents of the Tracts will be eligible for borrowing privileges at City/County libraries on the same basis as current residents: b. Health Services will be provided by the Health Department to area residents and businesses. Health services include City inspection of restaurants and groceries and Animal Control. c. Code Enforcement personnel will enforce the City's housing code and ordinances against junk motor vehicles, high weeds, unsafe buildings, and illegal dumping of refuse. d. Other City services, to the extent applicable to persons or properties within the Tracts, in accordance with standard policies and procedures will be provided. E. Capital Improvement Program. The City will initiate the construction of certain capital improvements necessary for providing municipal services for the Tracts. Those improvements which are necessary are indicated below, and any necessary construction or acquisition shall begin within two years of the effective date of this Plan, and be substantially complete before four and one half years of the effective date of this plan. 1. Police Protection. Additional capital improvements are not necessary at this time to provide police protection. However, the Tracts will be included with other territory in connection with planning for new, revised, or expanded public safety facilities. 2. Fire Protection. Initial fire protection for the Tracts will be provided by 4 513-29-36O2 using existing facilities established by the Fire Department, however, the long term provision of service to the area will require additional capital improvements. The Tracts will be included with other territory in connection with planning for new, revised or expanded fire fighting facilities. 3. Solid Waste Collection. No capital improvements are necessary at this time to provide solid waste collection services within the Tracts. The Tracts will be included with other territory in connection with planning for new revised or expanded solid waste facilities. 4. Water and Wastewater Facilities. Some capital improvements will be necessary to provide wastewater treatment service to portions of the Tracts. The City will determine what improvements will provide that service in the most efficient manner, and begin those capital improvements within two years of the effective date of the annexation. 5. Roads and Streets (including lighting). In general, the City will acquire dominant control of all roads and jurisdiction in, over and under all roads and streets within the Tracts upon annexation, subject to the jurisdiction of other local governmental entities. State highways and farm -to -market roads remain the primary responsibility of the Texas Department of Transportation, for instance. Additional roads, streets or related facilities are not necessary at this time to serve the Tracts. Future extensions of roads or streets and future installation of related facilities, such as traffic control devices or street lights will be undertaken by the City as necessary. The Tracts will be included with other territory in connection with planning for new, revised, widened, or enlarged roads, streets, or related facilities. 6. Parks, Playgrounds, and Swimming Pools. These services can be provided by using existing capital improvements. Additional capital improvements are not necessary at this time to provide such services to the Tracts. However, the Tracts will be included with other territory in connection with planning for such facilities. 7. Other Publicly -Owned Facilities, Buildings or Service: Additional Services. In general, other City functions and services, and the additional services described above, can be provided for the Tracts by using existing capital improvements. Additional capital improvements are not necessary to provide City services, but the Tracts will be included with other territory in connection with planning for new, revised, or expanded facilities, buildings or services. IV. AMENDMENT: GOVERNING LAW. 5:3-29-3603 This Plan may not be amended or repealed except as provided by the Act or other controlling law. Neither changes in the methods or means of implementing any part of the service programs nor changes in the responsibilities of the various departments of the City shall constitute amendments to this Plan and the City reserves the right to make such changes.
