To the Honorable Mayor, Members
Of City Council, and Citizens of the
City of Pearland, Texas
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Pearland, Texas (the "City") for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, is hereby submitted as mandated by both local and state statutes.
These ordinances and statutes require that the City issue an annual report on its financial position and
activity, and that an independent firm of certified public accountants audit this report.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained
in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has established for this
purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to
provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material
misstatements.
Null Lairson, PC, Certified Public Accountants, have issued an unqualified (or "clean opinion on the
City of Pearland's fmancial statements for the year ended September 30, 2009. The independent auditor's
report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
Management's discussion and analysis (MD &A) immediately follows the independent auditor's report
and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD &A
complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The City of Pearland, incorporated in 1959, is located across the northern end of Brazoria County and
shares a common border with Houston, Texas to the north. The City also extends into Fort Bend and
Harris Counties. The City of Pearland, encompassing approximately 48 square miles, is the fastest
growing city in Brazoria County, increasing from approximately 18,000 residents in 1990 to 92,600
residents estimated as of June 2009.
The City of Pearland is a home -rule City operating under a Council- Manager form of government.
Policy- making and legislative authority are vested in a governing council (Council) consisting of the
mayor and five other members. The Mayor and all Council members are elected at large. The Mayor is
allowed to vote only in case of a tie vote. The Mayor and each Council member hold office for a period
of three years and until his/her successor is elected and qualified. Council members shall be limited to
two full consecutive terms of office and there is no limitation on the office of Mayor. The City Manager
is appointed by Council and is responsible for implementation of Council policy, execution of the laws,
and all day -to -day operations of the City.
i
To the Honorable Mayor, Members
Of City Council, and Citizens of the
City of Pearland, Texas
A full range of municipal services is provided by the City of Pearland including public safety (police, fire,
and emergency medical services); solid waste; water and wastewater utilities; public improvements;
repair and maintenance of infrastructure; recreational and community activities; and general
administrative services. In addition, the City provides planning for future land use, traffic control,
building, code, and health inspections, and plans for new infrastructure and rehabilitation of infrastructure
to meet the needs of the citizens today, as well as tomorrow.
Activities of the general, debt service, water and sewer, solid waste, capital project funds, and special
revenue funds such as hotel /motel tax are included in the City's annual appropriated budget. Capital
project funds are budgeted for project length. The legal level of control for each budget is at the fund
level, which is to say that total expenditures for each fund should not exceed total budgeted expenditures
for that fund. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within and among
departments. The City Council must approve any budget amendment that increases appropriations by
fund. The City amends the budget at the end of each fiscal year to reflect current year projections for
revenues and expenditures /expenses.
As an independent political subdivision of the State of Texas, the City is considered a primary
government. Pursuant to standards established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB), the City also reports for all funds for which the City, as the primary government, is financially
accountable. As such, this report includes financial activities of three component units as follows: The
Pearland Economic Development Corporation was created by the City in 1995 under the Texas
Development Corporation Act of 1979 for the purpose of promoting, assisting, and enhancing economic
and related development activities on behalf of the City. The Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ
#2) was created in 1998 for the purposes of development and redevelopment in the Zone Area, better
known as Shadow Creek Ranch. The City participates in the Zone by contributing a portion of tax
increments produced in the Zone to the Tax Increment Fund. The Development Authority of Pearland
was created in 2004 to provide financing for the development of the Zone.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Local Economy
Located minutes away from downtown Houston, Texas, the nation's second largest seaport, the world
renowned Texas Medical Center, and NASA Johnson Space Center, Pearland is the premier location for
residential and commercial growth. With abundant land, business facilities, a sound infrastructure, and a
diverse workforce supported by quality educational programs, Pearland's growth has been consistent and
will continue to be sustained over time with continued residential and commercial development.
The total construction value of all building permits issued during calendar year 2009 totaled over $347.9
million, a 7% reduction in value from 2008. New single family housing permits totaled 776 with a
construction value of $148 million. The number of permits declined by 464, as anticipated, from 2008;
however Pearland continues to grow at a respectable pace, faring better than the rest of the nation.
Residential permitting activity is anticipated to remain at 2009 levels for fiscal year 2010. Houston is
forecast to see average home prices appreciate a slight 2% for the year. For calendar year 2009, the City
had 78 commercial permits with a value of $95 million, compared to 52 permits with a value of $100
million in 2008. Permits in 2008 included large retail developments: Shadow Creek Ranch Town Center
and Pearland Town Center. Broad downward pressure remains on all segments of the commercial real
estate market.
ii
To the Honorable Mayor, Members
Of City Council, and Citizens of the
City of Pearland, Texas
Houston at year -end showed clear signs of sustained economic improvement, however there will not be a
reliable recovery in Houston until the United States recovery itself becomes more assured. An important
key to the local economic recovery will be stability in the job market, a slowdown in residential
foreclosures and a moderation in commercial real estate market difficulties. For fiscal year 2009,
Pearland had 588 foreclosure filings, down from the 793 in fiscal year 2008. While there are foreclosures
in Pearland, they exist at a lesser magnitude than in other U.S. real estate markets. Pearland's
unemployment rate was 6.5% in December 2009, up from 4.1% in December 2008. This is compared to
the national unemployment rate of 10% as of December 2009. Businesses are still slow to hire and it will
take time for the private sector to begin hiring again. However, the Texas economy continues to surpass
that of the nation. More Americans have moved to Texas since the recession began in 2008 than any other
state, according to a new estimate released by the U. S. Census Bureau. The State's population grew by
478,000 in a 12 -month period. "Let's be clear: Texas is having a recession like the rest of the country,
but it's not as bad. Texas is going to pop up on a lot of radar screens as a place to relocate or expand for
business," said Southern Methodist University economist Bernard Weinstein. Texas's unemployment
rate has remained at least 1 percent below the national average and Texas also created more jobs than any
other state in October and November, keeping its reputation as the best place to escape economic hard
times. The Houston area is built on businesses, on jobs, and on economic opportunities.
Pearland will be ready for these opportunities. Pearland has two prime areas for commercial, mixed use,
livable developments along the Highway 288 corridor. A strategic and target market study completed in
2009 shows that life sciences, port- related activities, production/industrial, campus based back office, and
the education/public sectors are prime areas of interest for`the Pearland area. Combined with a mix of
reinforcing land uses, urban planning, key entertainment and cultural attractions, public spaces, and
walkability and connectivity, all will provide for livable sustainable developments.
Summer 2009 saw the completion of an 80,000 square foot class "A" office building in Shadow Creek
Ranch. The land and development cost for the building was approximately $15 million. There is
sufficient space on the property to construct a second office building of 80,000 to 100,000 square feet.
The building is expected to have approximately 350 workers when fully leased.
The Pearland Economic Development Corporation also attracted Cardiovascular Systems Inc. (CSI) to
expand its manufacturing facilities into Pearland. A Minnesota based firm, CSI is a medical device
company developing and commercializing innovative interventional treatment systems for vascular
disease. The company will lease a 46,000 square foot facility and could hire approximately 250
employees over the course of five -years to work at the Pearland facility, expanding the area's already
thriving medical technology sector.
Sales tax for fiscal year 2009 totaled $20.4 million, an increase of $2.2 million or 12.3% over fiscal year
2008. This is mainly due to full year operations of two large retail developments: Pearland and Shadow
Creek Town Centers. For the first two quarters of 2009, 68% of taxable sales are retail trade according to
the State of Texas Comptroller information. Pearland is a regional shopping destination, however with
lower consumer confidence, potential for job loss, debt, credit tightening, etc., homeowners are tightening
their budgets and spending. As such, the City predicts much lower growth in sales tax for fiscal year
2010.
iii
To the Honorable Mayor, Members
Of City Council, and Citizens of the
City of Pearland, Texas
Long Term Financial Planning
The City adopts a one -year budget, including a five -year capital improvement program (CIP). Even
though a one -year budget is adopted, the budget implements strategies, both financial and operational to
meet existing challenges and to plan for the future.
The City's Five -Year CIP for fiscal year 2010 through fiscal year 2014 totals $298 million and continues
to implement the $162 million bond program approved by the voters in May 2007. Projects include
Drainage ($28M), Streets ($88M), Facilities ($32M), Parks ($33M), Water ($62M), and Wastewater
($55M). All projects in the CIP have identified funding sources or potential funding sources. Funding
for these projects comes from the issuance of debt through Certificates of Obligation, General Obligation
Bonds, and Revenue Bonds, as well as impact fees, cash, and contributions from the State, County, and
other sources.
The Debt Service Fund forecast shows a need to increase the Debt Service component of the tax rate to
$0.5050 by tax year 2013 to implement the Five -Year CIP. This is consistent with the financial modeling
that the City undertook when analyzing the Debt Service tax implications of implementing the $162
million bond referendum.
In 2008, the City completed a Water /Sewer Cost of Service Rate Study for years 2009 2013. The study
is built around the Five -Year CIP, operating budget, and future needs. The model was updated in 2009
and increases are anticipated to support operations, annual debt service, and funding for a $117 million
five -year CIP. No rate increase was necessary for fiscal year 2010 however the model anticipates rate
increases for 2011 and 2014. With the implementation of past rate increases the City's utility system
continues to be self supporting and financially sound.
Relevant Financial Policies/Guidelines
Financial Policies guide the development and implementation of the budget and are a framework for
fiscal decision making. In addition, they ensure financial resources are available to meet the current and
future needs of the City. City Council adopted a set of Financial Management Policy Statements in
August 2009. The policy statements address areas of reporting and auditing, budgeting, revenues, capital
improvements, debt, and grants to name a few. Some of the most relevant policies are:
Recurring revenues fund recurring expenditures /expenses.
Non recurring revenues fund non recurring expenditures /expenses.
General Fund Operating Reserves should be a minimum of two months of operations expense.
Water and Wastewater Operating Cash Reserves shall strive to be maintained at 25% of
operations expense.
Revenues are budgeted on a conservative basis.
Existing services are funded at current service levels.
Enterprise Funds must be self supporting.
City dollars are leveraged by seeking outside funding sources.
Stable property tax rates are to be maintained.

To the Honorable Mayor, Members
Of City Council, and Citizens of the
City of Pearland, Texas
Major Initiatives
The City Council, staff, and community share a vision that combines progress and innovation with
prudent controls to shape Pearland's future, even as it becomes one of the largest suburbs in the Houston
area. Some of the major initiatives are as follows:
Public Safety
Among numerous other reasons, families move to Pearland for a high degree of personal safety and a low
crime rate. The City Council continues to emphasize public safety, adding new police officers each year
to keep pace with growth. The City added six officers in 2009 and has budgeted for an additional five in
2010. Community policing remains a focus, with crime prevention, victim assistance, and youth
intervention programs further reinforcing the City's small -town feel.
The City is nearing completion of a 79,800 square foot public safety facility totaling approximately $22.8
million. The facility includes a police station including a jail, a state of the art Emergency Operations
Center, court facilities, and an annex for utility bill paying and a county annex. The facility will open
spring of 2010. The voter approved bond referendum also included $2.9 million for the construction of a
two -bay 9,500 square foot Fire Station located off Kirby Drive. The facility will have living quarters to
accommodate a 24/7 fire and EMS operation. Design of the station is underway and a pumper for the
Station was purchased in 2009.
The fire department is currently a combination paid volunteer department with 18 paid firefighters and
approximately 45 volunteers. In order to ensure a safe community, the City budgeted and is in the
process of completing a fire staffing, scheduling, and deployment study. The study will be complete in
spring 2010, and its recommendations will be considered, budgeted and implemented as appropriate.
Economic Development
Economic development provides long -term benefits to a community. It increases property values and
sales taxes, lowers property tax rates, creates jobs and wealth and leads to higher living standards. The
City is dedicated to helping foster the City's economic base to improve the quality of life for its citizens
and business community through business attraction, expansion, and retention programs.
In 2009, the Pearland Economic Development Corporation completed a market analysis of business
sectors /clusters that the City could target and attract to the area. Clusters are concentrations of
interconnected business and suppliers in a particular field and are considered to increase the productivity
of the companies in the cluster, drive innovation, and stimulate new business. The clusters identified
were life sciences, port- related activities, production/industrial, campus -based back offices, and
education/public sector.
The Pearland Economic Development Corporation also began an initiative in the Spectrum, along Hwy
288 and Beltway 8, to build upon previous investments, identify development issues, and to create an
identity for the area to seek a sustainable development. This initiative and study will be complete in
spring 2010.
v
To the Honorable Mayor, Members
Of City Council, and Citizens of the
City of Pearland, Texas
Educational Enrichment
The City and The University of Houston negotiated a joint partnership to bring upper level higher
education to Pearland. The first building of a satellite campus is targeted to open for junior, senior, and
graduate level classes in the fall of 2010. Neighboring junior colleges will feed into the education system.
The 30,000 square foot facility will be located at McHard Road and Pearland Parkway on approximately
40 acres of land. It is anticipated that approximately 10,000 square feet of the facility will be for the use
and benefit of the City and the Pearland Economic Development Corporation as office space and a
conference center. As the University's need for space increase, these 10,000 square feet will be turned
over to the University. A construction contract was awarded in January 2009 totaling $11.1 million, in
conjunction with approval of an operating -lease agreement.
Capital Improvement Projects and Planning
With continued residential and commercial growth, and to plan for the future, the need to build new
infrastructure and maintain existing infrastructure is a priority and will be implemented through an
aggressive capital improvement program. The City's Five -Year CIP 2010 2014 totals $298 million.
Projects include Drainage ($28M), Streets ($88M), Facilities ($32M), Parks ($33M), Water ($62M), and
Wastewater ($55M).
Major thoroughfare projects include the widening of Bailey Road between FM1128 and Veterans to a
four lane divided facility, widening of Mykawa Road to a four lane divided facility, reconstruction of one
mile of Old Alvin Road from Plum Street to McHard Road, and the extension of Pearland Parkway to
Dixie Farm Road. Major drainage projects include expansion of the D.L. Smith detention pond by
approximately 150 acre -feet, an additional 200 acre -feet of stormwater storage in the Hickory Slough
watershed, and improvements to Town Ditch that will provide adequate conveyance for the 100 -year
storm flows. Major park projects include a recreation and natatorium facility in partnership with the
school district and Pearland Economic Development Corporation. The facility will include two
swimming pools, including a 50 -meter indoor pool for competitive swimming and an indoor recreation
center. Also included are a soccer complex, improvements to Independence and Centennial Parks, Phase
I development of the Shadow Creek Ranch Park, and a 7,000 square foot Nature Center. Facility projects
include funding of a Public Works annex on the west -side of town, and an 11,500 square feet expansion
and renovation to the Tom Reid Library. Also included is the reconstruction of Fire Stations 2 and 3, and
Service Center modifications to the existing facility on Old Alvin. Water projects include a 30 inch water
transmission line to provide 10 million gallons per day of treated surface water to the City, and the design
and construction of a 20 million gallon per day surface water plant along with various waterline
extensions. Wastewater projects include the replacement of Southdown wastewater treatment plant,
rehabilitation of the Barry Rose Lift Station, expansion of the John Hargrove Environmental Center
wastewater treatment plant and major rehabilitation projects.
In order to design and construct these projects the City implemented a Project Delivery Model for
consistency, efficiency, and effectiveness in completing projects. Fiscal year 2009 also included planning
and implementing an enhanced communication plan to all stakeholders on the status of capital projects,
timing, and impacts.
vi
To the Honorable Mayor, Members
Of City Council, and Citizens of the
City of Pearland, Texas
In 2009, City Council also approved a Green Building Policy. The policy requires that the design,
construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and deconstruction of buildings owned or leased by the
City of Pearland, comply with certain energy efficient building standards. Green building promotes
better environmental standards for the construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of buildings in the
city; improves energy efficiency and increases generation of energy through renewable and clean energy;
provides for environmentally preferable building materials, finishes, and furnishings; improves the
environment by decreasing the discharge of pollutants from buildings; creates industry and public
awareness of new technologies that can improve the quality of life for building occupants; and improves
the health and productivity of building occupants by meeting advanced criteria for indoor environmental
quality.
Transportation Improvements and Strategic Planning
Charged with planning, establishing, and maintaining an effective transportation system, the City of
Pearland is involved in numerous activities to face this challenge. The $84 million transportation bond
program (passed in 2007) will construct major projects over the next seven years as mentioned
previously.
The City is also involved in regional efforts for long -range transportation planning. The Mayor is a
member of H -GAC's Transportation Policy Council (TPC) and an Assistant City Manager is a member of
the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), a sub committee of the TPC. H -GAC has developed the
2008 -2011 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which is the implementation plan for the
Regional Transportation Plan. This effort involves allocating about $150 million plus dollars for the
region. The City is also working with TxDOT to develop a viable corridor for a toll road that would run
adjacent to SH35 from Alvin to I -45, just south of downtown Houston. TxDOT has finalized the Major
Investment Study and is working to bring a consultant on board to start the environmental documents.
The project will take about 11 to 12 years to complete.
Being that rail service is an integral part of a comprehensive transportation system and enhances
accessibility and mobility, the City of Pearland adopted a resolution supporting the Kirby rail route as the
preferred passenger rail route in Pearland as organizations develop their transit plans for the region. Rail
will also generate economic development, jobs, and tourism along with establishing and strengthening
social, historical, commercial, and cultural bonds between communities.
The City of Pearland and various agencies and organizations have been working to provide a commuter
type service to Houston via either a Park and Ride type facility or commuter van pooling. As a result of
the collaborative efforts between the City of Pearland, Brazoria County, Metro, and H -GAC, a Job Access
Reverse Commute (JARC) grant application was submitted by Connect Transit in June for federal
funding. On July 24, 2009, the Transportation Policy Committee approved funding for the project. In
September 2009, Houston Metro approved the project in their 2010 operating budget. Currently Metro is
negotiating a purchase contract for a parcel of property along the Hwy. 288 corridor. It is anticipated that
Park and Ride Service will begin by summer 2010. Program costs for the first five years are $2.9 million,
with $1.0 million from local funding.

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of
the City Council
City of Pearland, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of City of Pearland, Texas, (the "City") as of and for the year. ended
September 30, 2009, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the
table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of City's management. Our
responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, the aggregate
discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the City, as of September 30, 2009, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where
applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 25,
2010 on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions or laws, regulations, contracts, and grants agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal
control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report, which has been issued separately from this
document, is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards
and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Pearland, we offer readers of the City's financial statements this narrative
overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets of the primary government of the City of Pearland exceeded its liabilities as of
September 30, 2009, by $620.4 million (net assets). Of this amount, $22.6 million (unrestricted
net assets) may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors in
accordance with the City's fund designation and fiscal policies.
The City's total net assets increased by $30.4 million.
At the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Pearland's governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of $86.3 million, a decrease of $49.7 million in comparison with
the prior year, of which $48.2 million is related to capital projects. Approximately $62.5 million
of the September 30.2009 balance can be attributed to work in progress for capital projects.
As of September 30, 2009, the unreserved, undesignated fund balance for the General Fund was
$11.4 million or 22% of total General Fund expenditures. Total fund balance of $12.2 million or
24% of General Fund expenditures.
The City of Pearland's General Obligation and Certificates of Obligation debt increased to $263.3
million, a net increase of $3.3 million over the previous year. The key factor was the sale of $8.5
million in Certificates of Obligation. Annual principal payments totaled $5.2 million.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial
statements. The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three components: (1) government
wide financial statements, (2) fund financial statements and (3) notes to the financial statements. This
report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements
themselves.
Government wide Financial Statements The government -wide financial statements are designed to
provide readers with a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private- sector
business.
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may
serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed during the
fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported when the underlying event giving rise to the change
occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this
statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in the future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected
taxes and earned but unused compensated absences).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from functions that are
intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -type
activities). The governmental activities of the City of Pearland include general government, public safety,
public works, community services and parks and recreation. The business -type activities of the City
include water, sewer, and solid waste.

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
The government -wide financial statements can be found on pages 17 through 19 of this report. The
government -wide financial statements include not only the City of Pearland, itself (known as the primary
government), but also a legally separate Economic Development Corporation, Tax Increment
Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) and the Development Authority of Pearland for which the City of Pearland is
financially accountable. Financial information for these component units is reported separately from the
financial information presented for the primary government, itself.
Fund Financial Statements A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control
over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state
and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance- related
legal requirements. All funds of the City can be divided into two categories governmental funds and
proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statement focus on current sources
and uses of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the
fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near -term financing
requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing
so, readers may better understand the long -term impact of the government's near -term financing
decisions. Both the governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental fund statements of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balance provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between
governmental funds and governmental activities.
Beginning on page 20 of this report, information is presented separately in the Governmental Fund
Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund
Balances for the General, Debt Service, Capital Projects and other funds, which are considered to be
major funds. Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated
presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non -major governmental funds is provided in the
form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City of Pearland adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund. A budgetary
comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance with the
budget.
Proprietary Funds The City maintains one type of proprietary fund. Enterprise Funds are used to
report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial
statements. The City uses an Enterprise Fund to account for its Water and Sewer Fund and Solid Waste
Fund.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only
in more detail. The basic proprietary fund financial statements, which begin on page 24 of this report,
provide separate information for the Water and Sewer and Solid Waste Enterprise Funds since it is
considered to be a major fund of the City.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 24 through 27 of this report.

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
Combining Component Unit Financial Statements The City's three discretely presented component units
shown in aggregate on the face of the government -wide financial statements have individual information for each
of the major discretely presented component units presented in the form of combining statements immediately
following the fund financial statements of the primary government.
Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to
the financial statements can be found beginning on page 30 of this report.
Other Information In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report
also presents other required supplementary information as well as combining and individual fund
statements and schedules that further support the information in the financial statements. This
information is presented immediately following the notes to the financial statements beginning on page 67
of this report.
Government wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the City, assets exceeded liabilities by $620.4 million at the close of the most
recent fiscal year.
By far the largest portion of the City's net assets (92 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g.,
land, buildings, machinery, and equipment); less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still
outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets
are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of
related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other
sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
An additional portion of the City's net assets (four percent) represent resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets (four percent) may be
used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

net assets, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business -type
activities.
The most significant change in net assets occurred with a net increase in capital assets, net of related debt,
of $26.5 million due to contribution of infrastructure by developers.

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
Governmental activities Governmental activities increased the City's net assets by $21.2 million,
thereby accounting for 70 percent of the total growth in the net assets of the City. Key elements of this
increase are as follows:
Sales and use tax revenues increased by $1.6 million, mainly due to full year operations of the
two retail developments, Shadow Creek Ranch Town Center and Pearland Town Center.
Capital Contributions increased significantly, $14.4 million, mainly due to infrastructure of
$25.3 million contributed by developers.
Property Taxes also increased $1.6 million, due to an increase in taxable value of $44 million
from new construction, and revaluation.
Operating Grants and Contributions increased by $2.0 million due to increased contributions
from Pearland TIRZ #2 in support of service to the area and contributions from participants in
capital projects.
Other Revenues increased by $3.0 million mainly due to insurance reimbursements from
hurricane IKE.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY'S FUNDS
As noted earlier, fund accounting is used to demonstrate and ensure compliance with finance- related legal
requirements.
Governmental Funds The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information of near -term
inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the
City's financing requirements, in particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the
City's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
The City's governmental funds reflect a combined fund balance of $86.3 million. Of this, $11.4 million is
unreserved and available for day -to -day operations of the City; $7.2 million is reserved for debt service and
the balance is reserved or designated for capital projects and other projects.
There was a decrease in the combined fund balance of $49.7 million from the prior year. The decrease in
fund balance included a decrease in the capital projects fund balance of approximately $48.2 million due to
the expenditure of $65.9 million in recent bond issues, an increase of $0.4 million in the debt service fund
balance, and a planned decrease of $1.3 million in the general fund.
With a current year decrease of $1.3 million, the General Fund's fund balance totaled $12.2 million at year
end.
11
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
In the Capital Projects Fund, the City spent $67.8 million on various improvement projects. Additionally,
the City issued $8.5 million in Certificates of Obligation and received contributions from the General
Fund and component units totaling $2.8 million, and $8.2 million from contributions, leaving an ending
fund balance of $62.5 million.
Proprietary Funds The City's business -type activities contain two activities (water and sewer, and solid
waste) The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government -wide
financial statements.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
During the year there was a $6.0 million increase in appropriations between the original and final
amended budget. The increase in appropriations is attributable to carryover funding from prior year
encumbrances and projects, hurricane IKE, as well as, amending the budget to reflect projections
during the 2009 -2010 budget process.
Budget estimates for revenues and other sources increased by $4.8 million for the year as well to reflect the
increases in revenues as projected during the 2009 -2010 budget process and for FEMA and insurance
reimbursements related to Hurricane Ike.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets At the end of fiscal year 2009, the City's governmental activities and business -type
activities had invested $634.1 million and $255.2 million, respectively, in a variety of capital assets and
infrastructure, as reflected in the following schedule. This represents a net increase of $18.5 million, or 8
percent over the end of last fiscal year for the business -type activities capital assets and a change of $74.9
million or 13 percent for the governmental activities capital assets.

Current ratings on debt issues are as follows:
Standard
and Poors Fitch
General obligation bonds AA- AA-
Revenue bonds AA- A+
In January 2009, Standard and Poors upgraded the City's water and sewer bonds from A to AA- and Fitch
ratings were A
Both the Pearland Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) and the Development Authority of
Pearland (DAP), component units of the City, have issued debt. The PEDC bonds are rated "A" from
Standard and Poors. The DAP bonds are rated A- by Standard and Poors. Additional information on the
City's long -term debt can be found in Note 5 to the financial statements.
13
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET AND RATES
A primary factor in the 2010 budget is how the projected condition of the City of Pearland's economy
affects the City's revenue stream. New home starts for 2010 are expected to remain at the relatively low
level experienced in 2009 and is estimated to be 744, however the City is still growing, just at a lower
rate. Commercial construction is anticipated to remain strong, however the dollar values are anticipated to
be less with the completion of Pearland and Shadow Creek Ranch Town Centers. Sales tax revenues are
expected to increase at a very modest level of 2.5 well below the current year in which a 12.3%
increase was seen. The City's population is projected to increase by 2,500 next year resulting in a 2.7
percent population growth.
The Pearland City Council approved a $49.75 million General Fund budget for fiscal year 2009 2010.
This is a 0.6% increase over the 2008 -2009 adopted budget. The budget funds 19 new full -time positions
and includes the opening of the new Public Safety facility, Recreation Natatorium, and University of
Houston Pearland Campus. The budget incorporates a tax rate of $0.6526 per $100 of valuation, which is
the same as last year.
The Water and Sewer fund is able to fund operations, debt service, and bond coverage requirements with
no increase in rates. This is mainly attributable to efficient operations and transfers in from water and
sewer impact fee funds used towards annual debt service payments..

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND
CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF
ACTIVITIES
For the Year Ended September 30, 2009
Net change in fund balances total governmental funds: (49,764,443)
Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report outlays for capital assets as expenditures because such outlays use
current financial resources. In contrast, the Statement of Activities reports only a portion of the
outlay as expense. The outlay is allocated over the assets' estimated useful lives as depreciation
expense for the period.
This is the amount by which capital outlays of $74,307,375 exceeded depreciation of $21,798,648 in
the current period. 52,508,727
Governmental funds re[port only the proceeds from the disposal of capital assets and not the
difference between the carrying value and the accumulated depreciation of the asset. This is the
amount by which the carrying value exceeded the accumulated depreciation. (184,515)
Capital assets net of related debt acquired as a result of Municipal Utility District annexation 22,528,718
Governmental funds do not present revenues that are not available to pay current obligations. In
contrast, such revenues are reported in the Statement of Activities when earned. 125,150
Governmental funds report bond proceeds as current financial resources. In contrast, the Statement
of Activities treats such issuance of debt as a liability. Governmental funds report repayment of
bond principal as an expenditure, In contrast, the Statement of Activities treats such repayments as a
reduction in long -term liabilities. This is the amount by which proceeds exceeded repayments. (3,275,205)
Governmental funds report bond issuance costs as expenditures. In contrast, the government wide
financial statements amortized such a cost over the life of the bonds. 139,921
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial
resources and these are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds:
Accrued interest not reflected in Governmental funds (38,627)
Amortization of bond issuance costs (351,871)
Other long -term liabilities 218,458
Post employment benefit liability (690,300)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as
property and liability insurance coverage and employee health benefits, to individual funds. The net
revenue (expense) of certain internal service funds is reported with governmental activities. 13,185

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Summary Significant Accounting Policies
The City of Pearland, Texas, (the "City") was incorporated in December 1959, and adopted a "Home Rule
Charter" February 6, 1971. The Charter, as amended, provides for a Council- Manager form of government and
provides services authorized by its charter. Presently, these services include police and emergency medical,
water and sewer services, drainage, sanitation, building and code inspection, planning, zoning, engineering,
street repair and maintenance, park maintenance, recreational activities for citizens, and general administrative
services. Fire protection is provided through a combination full- time /volunteer department. The City is
governed by an elected mayor and five- member Council.
The Mayor and all members are elected at large. The Mayor is allowed to vote only in case of a tie vote. The
Mayor and each Council member hold office for a period of three years and until his/her successor is elected
and qualified. Council members shall be limited to two full consecutive terms of office and there is no
limitation on the office of the Mayor. The City Manager is appointed by Council and is responsible for
implementation of Council policy, execution of the laws, and all day -to -day operations of the City.
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City is an independent political subdivision of the State of Texas governed by an elected council and a
mayor and is considered a primary government. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, these financial statements have been prepared based on considerations
regarding the potential for inclusion of component units, which are other entities or organizations that are
financially accountable to the City. Discretely presented component units, are reported in a separate column
in the government -wide statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the primary government.
Based on these considerations, the City's financial statements include the following discretely presented
component units: the Pearland Economic Development Corporation (PEDC); the Tax Increment
Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ #2); and the Development Authority of Pearland. No other entities have been
included in the City's reporting entity. Additionally, as the City is considered a primary government for
financial reporting purposes, its activities are not considered a part of any other governmental or other type of
reporting entity.
Considerations regarding the potential for inclusion of other entities, organizations, or functions in the
City's financial reporting entity are based on criteria prescribed by generally accepted accounting
principles. These same criteria are evaluated in considering whether the City is a part of any other
governmental or other type of reporting entity. The overriding elements associated with prescribed criteria
considered in determining that the City's financial reporting entity status is that of a primary government are:
that it has a separately elected Governing body; it is legally separate; and it is fiscally independent of other
state and local governments. Additionally prescribed criteria under generally accepted accounting principles
include: considerations pertaining to organizations for which the primary government is financially
accountable; and considerations pertaining to other organizations for which the nature and significance of
their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's
financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The component units discussed below are included in
the City's reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the
City. The component units do not issue separate fmancial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Note 1 Summary Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
A. Financial Reporting Entity (continued)
Discretely Presented Component Units:
Pearland Economic Development Corporation (PEDC)
In 1995, the citizens of Pearland established the Pearland Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) to
help the citizens and public officials of Pearland attract new businesses and existing businesses to expand.
The mechanism to fund the operations of the corporation is through a sales tax levy at a rate of one -half of
one percent (1/2 The PEDC is fiscally dependent upon the primary government because, besides
appointing the Board, the City Council also must approve the PEDC's budget and any debt issuances.
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ #2)
In 1998, the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ #2) was established for a period of 30 years or until
dissolved by the City. The TIRZ #2 provides tax assisted property development and/or redevelopment in
specific geographic areas in accordance with applicable state laws. Besides appointing Board members, the
City Council must also approve any debt issuances done on behalf of the TIRZ. A major land owner within
the City of Pearland sits on the Board of Directors for the TIRZ #2.
Development Authority of Pearland
In 2004, the City created the Development Authority of Pearland to provide financing for the development of
the TIRZ #2. Proceeds from bond sales are to be used to reimburse developers and fund a debt service reserve.
Besides appointing Board members, the City Council must also approve any debt issuances done on behalf
of the Development Authority.
B. Government wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Changes
in Net Assets) report information about the City as a whole. These statements include all activities of the
primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been
eliminated from the government -wide statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the
City's business -type and governmental funds. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and
program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Governmental activities, which normally
are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type
activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific
function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or
directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants
and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular
function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported
instead as general revenues.

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Note 1 Summary Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government -wide fmancial statements and all proprietary funds are reported using the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and
expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. With this
measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated with the operations of these activities are
included on the statements of net assets. Proprietary fund equity consists of retained earnings. Proprietary
fund -type operating statements present increases (i.e., revenues) and decreases (i.e., expenses) in net total
assets. Furniture and equipment capitalized in the Proprietary Fund Types are valued at cost.
The governmental fund financial statements are presented on a current financial resources measurement
focus and modified accrual basis of accounting. This is the manner in which these funds are normally
budgeted. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Measurable means
that the amount of the transaction can be determined and available means collectible within the current period
or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues
to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Revenues
susceptible to accrual include property taxes, sales and use taxes, franchise fees, charges for services and
interest on temporary investments. Other receipts become measurable and available when cash is received
by the government and are recognized as revenue at that time.
Under modified accrual accounting, expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the
liability is incurred, if measurable, except for interest on general long -term debt, which is recognized when
due. Since the governmental fund statements are presented on a different measurement focus and basis of
accounting than the government -wide statements' governmental column, a reconciliation is presented which
briefly explains the adjustments necessary to reconcile fund -based financial statements with the
governmental column of the government -wide presentation.
In the fund financial statements, the accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is
considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of
self balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or
expenses, as appropriate. Following is a description of the various funds:
Governmental funds are those funds through which most governmental functions are typically fmanced. The
City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is used to account for all financial transactions not properly includable in other funds.
The principal sources of revenues include local property taxes, sales and franchise taxes, licenses and
permits, fines and forfeitures, and charges for services. Expenditures include general government,
administrative services, public works, parks and recreation, community development, and public safety.

Note 1 Summary Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (continued)
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the payment of interest and principal on all general
obligation bonds and other governmental long -term debt of the City. The primary source of revenue for debt
service is local property taxes. The Debt Service Fund is considered a major fund for reporting purposes.
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the expenditures of resources accumulated from sales tax
revenues and the sale of bonds and related interest earnings for capital improvement projects. The Capital
Projects Fund is considered a major fund for reporting purposes.
The City's Business type activities consist of the following funds:
The Enterprise Funds are used to account for the operations that provide water and sewer utility services as
well as solid waste collection services to the public. The services are financed and operated in a manner
similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses
including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis will be
financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Additionally, the city maintains an Internal Service Fund used to account for the financing of goods or
services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost
reimbursement basis. Services provided by the Internal Service Funds include property and liability
insurance coverage and employee health benefits. The Internal Service Fund is included in governmental
activities for government -wide reporting purposes.
Private sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are
followed to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private- sector
guidance for their business -type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. All assets,
liabilities, equities, revenues, expenses and transfers relating to the government's business activities are
accounted for through proprietary funds. The measurement focus is on determination of net income,
financial position and cash flows. Operating revenues include charges for services. Operating expenses
include costs of materials, contracts, personnel and depreciation. In accordance with GASB Statement No.
20, the City has elected to follow GASB statements issued after November 30, 1989, rather than the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, in accounting for enterprise funds.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide fmancial
statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City's water and sewer function and
various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and
program revenue reported for the various functions concerned.
33
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Note 1 Summary Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (continued)
Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or
privileges provided 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including
special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program
revenue. Likewise, general revenue includes all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues
and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with
a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's Enterprise
Fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for Enterprise Funds include the
cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenue and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenue and expense.
D. Encumbrances
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the
expenditure of funds are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is
employed in the governmental funds. Open encumbrances are reported as reservations of fund balances
since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Encumbrances outstanding at year -end are
appropriately provided for in the subsequent year's budget.
E. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term
investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. For the purpose of
the statement of cash flows, the Proprietary Fund Types consider temporary investments with maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The City pools cash resources of its various funds to facilitate the management of cash. Cash applicable to a
particular fund is readily identifiable. The balance in the pooled cash accounts is available to meet current
operating requirements. Cash in excess of current requirements is invested in various interest- bearing
accounts and securities and disclosed as part of the City's investments.
The City pools excess cash of the various individual funds to purchase these investments. These pooled
investments are reported in the combined balance sheet as Investments in each fund based on each fund's
share of the pooled investments. Interest income is allocated to each respective individual fund, monthly,
based on their respective share of investments in the pooled investments.
F. Investments
Investments consist of United States (US) Government Agency securities. The City reports all
investments at fair value based on quoted market prices at year -end date.

G. Receivables
All receivables are reported at their gross value and, where appropriate, are reduced by the estimated portion
that is expected to be uncollectible. Trade accounts receivable in excess of 120 days comprise the trade
accounts receivable allowance for uncollectibles.
H. Due to and Due from Other Funds
Interfund receivables and payables arise from interfund transactions and are recorded by all funds affected
in the period in which the transactions are executed. These receivables and payables are classified as "due
from other funds" or "due to other funds" or "due from component unit/primary government" or "due to
component unit/primary government" if the transactions are between the primary govemment and its
component unit. Interfund receivables and payables which are not expected to be paid within 12 months are
classified as loans from/loans to other funds, component units, or primary government.
I. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventory, which consists of fuel and auto parts for use in the City's vehicles, is stated at cost (first -in, first
out method). Expenditures are recognized as the fuel and auto parts are consumed rather when purchased.
J. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund revenue bonds and certain resources set aside for
their repayment are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by applicable
bond covenants. Certain resources are also set aside for repayment of Development Authority Bonds and are
reported as restricted assets.
K. Capital Assets
Capital assets which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure, are reported in the applicable
governmental or business -type activities columns in the government -wide financial statements. The City
defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful
life of three years or more. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if
purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of
donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially
extend assets' lives are not capitalized.
Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated using the straight -line method over the following useful lives:
Asset Years
Buildings and improvements 10 -45
Machinery and equipment 3 -15
Infrastructure 10 -50

L. Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation, sick and holiday pay
benefits.
Employees hired prior to October 1, 2005 eam vacation leave at the rate of 15 days per year from 1 to 15
years of service, 20 days per year for service of 16 to 19 years, and 25 days per year for service of 20 years or
more. Employees, who are not classified and are hired after October 1, 2005, eam vacation at a rate of 10
days per year from 1 -6 years of service, 15 days per year for 7 -15 years of service and 20 days for 16 and
over years of service. Effective October 1, 2005, employees are no longer able to carry over unused vacation
from one year to the next with the exception of police department personnel in classified positions.
Employees are required to use their vacation in the year it is earned. Employees who are unable to use their
vacation due to departmental scheduling or staffing problems, may, with the City Manager's approval,
receive compensation for half of the remaining balance up to a maximum of forty (40) hours.
City employees receive 11 paid holidays per year. Employees required to work on a City observed holiday
may be paid or may elect to receive compensatory time off for the holiday. Overtime is earned at one and
one -half times the regular rate of pay for non exempt employees. Employees may be paid or receive
compensatory time. The maximum accrual for overtime is 60 hours, except for employees involved in public
safety, who can accrue up to 120 hours.
All sick leave benefits are accumulated and paid to employees upon separation from the City not to exceed
720 hours for employees hired prior to July 24, 2006 and 360 hours for employees hired after. Vacation, sick
and holiday pay benefits are accrued when incurred in the government -wide and proprietary fund financial
statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for
example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.
M. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of fmancial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 Deposits (Cash) and Investments
Authorization for Deposits and Investments
The Texas Public Funds Investment Act (PFIA), as prescribed in Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government
Code, regulates deposits and investment transactions of the City.
In accordance with applicable statutes, the City has a depository contract with an area bank (depository)
providing for interest rates to be earned on deposited funds and for banking charges the City incurs for
banking services received. The City may place funds with the depository in interest and non interest
bearing accounts. State law provides that collateral pledged as security for bank deposits must have a
market value of not less than the amount of the deposits and must consist of: (1) obligations of the United
States or its agencies and instrumentalities; (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3)
other obligations, the principal and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the
State of Texas; and/or (4) obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions
of any state having been rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm
and having received a rating of not less than A or its equivalent. City policy requires the collateralization
level to be at least 102% of market value of principal and accrued interest.
The Council has adopted a written investment policy regarding the investment of City funds as required
by the Public Funds Investment Act (Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code). The investments of the
City are in compliance with the City's investment policy. The City's investment policy is more restrictive
than the PFIA requires. It is the City's policy to restrict its direct investments to obligations of the U.S.
Government or U.S. Government Agencies, fully collateralized certificates of deposit, bankers'
acceptances, mutual funds, repurchase agreements and local government investment pools. The
maximum maturity allowed is three years from date of purchase. The City's investment policy does not
allow investments in collateralized mortgage obligations.
Deposit and Investment Amounts
The City's cash and investments are classified as: cash and cash equivalents, investments, and restricted
cash and investments. The cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with financial
institutions, and short-term investments, which have maturities at purchase of less than three months,
consisting mainly of certificates of deposit. The restricted cash and investments are assets restricted for
specific use. The restricted cash and investments include cash on deposit with financial institutions. For
better management of cash, the City pools the cash, based on the City's needs, into either bank/sweep
accounts, or in longer -term investments in U.S. Government Securities. However, each fund's balance of
cash and investments is maintained in the books of the City.
The deposit and investment policies for the Pearland Economic Development Corporation, TIRZ
Developments, and Development Authority of Pearland are substantially the same as the City.

or AAAm or no lower than investment grade by at least one nationally recognized rating service and have
a weighted average maturity no greater than 90 days. Investments with minimum required ratings do not
qualify as authorized investments during the period the investment does not have the minimum rating.
Restricted Assets
The Enterprise Funds have restricted certain cash and investments for customer deposits, reserve and
emergency expenditures, capital improvements, cash restricted for others, and revenue bond debt service.
Because of certain bond covenants, the Enterprise Fund is required to maintain prescribed amounts of

Note 7 Fund Equity Net Asses
The City records fund balance reserves on the fund level to indicate that a portion of the fund balance is
legally restricted for a specific future use or to indicate that a portion of the fund balance is not available for
expenditures
The Pearland Economic Development Corporation and the Development Authority of Pearland, discretely
presented component units of the City, had negative net asset balances at year end of approximately $11.0
and $44.6 million respectively. These deficit balances are caused by these entities issuing bonds for
economic development related construction projects and, in accordance with state law, transferring the
capital assets to the primary government while retaining the related debt. As noted in Note 5, the debt is
expected to be retired with future dedicated sales tax revenues. The Emergency Management Special
Revenue Fund had a deficit fund balance of $3,900 which is expected to be replenished through future
funding.

Note 8 Deferred Compensation Plan
The City maintains, for its employees, a tax- deferred compensation plan meeting the requirements of Internal
Revenue Code Section 457. The plan was established in the 1995 fiscal year by City Ordinance, and
Nationwide Retirement Solutions and SRC Retirement Corporation were appointed as plan administrators.
The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseen
emergency. The plan's trust arrangements are established to protect deferred compensation amounts of
employees under the plan from any other use other than intended under the plan (eventual payment to
employees deferring the compensation) in accordance with federal tax laws. Amounts of compensation
deferred by employees under plan provisions are disbursed bi- weekly by the City to a third party
administrator. The third party administrator handles all funds in the plan and makes investment decisions and
disburses funds to employees in accordance with plan provisions.
Note 9 Employee Retirement System
Plan Description and Provisions
The City provides pension benefits for all of its full -time employees through a non traditional, joint
contributory, defined benefit plan in the state -wide Texas Municipal Retirement System "TMRS one of
827 currently administered by TMRS, an agent multiple employer public employee retirement system.
Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, with interest, and the City- financed
monetary credits, with interest. At the date the plan began, the City granted monetary credits for service
rendered before the plan began of a theoretical amount equal to two times what would have been
contributed by the employee, with interest, prior to establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service
since the plan began are a percent (100 150 or 200 of the employee's accumulated contributions.
In addition, the City can grant, as often as annually, another type of monetary credit referred to as an
updated service credit which is a theoretical amount which, when added to the employee's accumulated
contributions and the monetary credits for service since the plan began, would be the total monetary credits
and employee contributions accumulated, with interest, if the current employee contribution rate and City
matching percent had always been in existence and if the employee's salary had always been the average of
his salary in the last three years that are one year before the effective date. At retirement, the benefit is
calculated as if the sum of the employee's accumulated contributions, with interest, and the employer
financed monetary credits, with interest, were used to purchase an annuity.
The plan provisions are adopted by the City Council of the City, within the options available in the state
statutes governing TMRS and within the actuarial constraints also in the statutes. Plan provisions for the City
were as follows:
Plan Year 2008 Plan Year 2009
Employee deposit rate 7.0% 7.0%
Matching ratio (City to employee) 2 to 1 2 to 1
Years required for vesting 5 5
Service retirement eligibility
(expressed as age /years of service) 60/5, 0/20 60/5, 0/20
Updated Service Credit 100% Repeating, Transfers 100% Repeating, Transfers
Annuity Increase (to retirees) 70% of CPI Repeating 70% of CPI Repeating
Members can retire at ages 60 and above with 5 or more years of service or with 20 years of service
regardless of age.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Note 9 Employee Retirement System (continued)
Contributions
Under the state law governing TMRS, the Actuary annually determines the City's contribution rate. This rate
consists of the normal cost contribution rate and the prior service contribution rate, both of which are
calculated to be a level percent of payroll from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the
currently accruing monetary credits due to City matching percent, which are the obligation of the City as of
an employee's retirement date, not at the time the employee's contributions are made. The normal cost
contribution rate is the actuarially determined percent of payroll necessary to satisfy the obligation of the
City to each employee at the time his retirement becomes effective. The prior service contribution rate
amortizes the unfunded (over funded) actuarial liability (asset) over the remainder of the plan's 25 -year
amortization period. The projected unit credit actuarial cost method is used for determining the City
contribution rate using a 29 year close period. Both the employees and the City make contributions
monthly. Since the City needs to know its contribution rate in advance to budget for it, there is a one -year
delay between the actuarial valuation that is the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes
into effect.
The City's total payroll in fiscal year 2009 was $25.8 million and the City's contributions were based on
a payroll of $24.9 million. Contributions made by employees totaled $1.7 million, and the City made
contributions of $2.6 million during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
Three year trend information is presented below:
2009 2008 2007
Annual Pension Cost (APC) 2,331,353 1,907,416 1,730,700
Percentage of APC Contributed 100% 100% 100%
Because the actuary determines contribution rates on an annual basis and the City pays the calculated rate
each month, the City will always have a net pension obligation (NPO) of zero at the beginning and end of the
period, and the annually required contributions (ARC) will always equal contributions made.
All assumptions for the December 31, 2008 valuations are contained in the 2008 TMRS Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report, a copy of which may be obtained by writing to P.O. Box 149153, Austin, Texas
78714 -9153. The following is a summary of the actuarial assumptions:
Actuarial Cost Method Projected Unit Credit
Amortization Method Level Percent of Payroll
Remaining Amortization Period 29 Years Closed Period
Asset Valuation Method Amortized cost

Investment Rate of Return 7.00%
Projected Salary Increases None
Includes Inflation At 3.50%
Cost -of- Living Adjustments None

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Note 9 Employee Retirement System (continued)
In order to provide a reasonable retirement benefit at a reasonable cost to employers and to provide better
long range rate forecasts, TMRS has changed its actual funding method from Unit Credit to Projected
Unit Credit and from a 25 year "open" period to a 25 -30 year "closed" period in 2008.
For cities that have adopted annually repeating annuity increases (COLA's) this change in method results
in increased contribution rates, which will provide advanced funding and positive improvement in the
pension funding rates. The TMRS Board adopted an eight -year phase -in period for new rates to enable
cities to slowly increase contributions. These were reflected in 2009.
A schedule of funding status and progress for TMRS for the most recent valuation date follows:
Unfunded
Actuarial (UAAL) as a

A schedule of funding progress for TMRS for the three most recent actuarial valuations may be found in
the required supplementary information section of the City's Annual Financial Report.
Note 10 Other Post Employment Benefits
In addition to pension benefits, the City provides access to medical and dental coverage through its selected
insurance carrier, to retirees and/or retiree dependents. To qualify for retiree's medical or dental insurance,
the retiree must have a minimum of ten years of continuous service with the City and be at least sixty years of
age, or with 20 years of continuous service at any age. The City provides the coverage on a pay -as- you -go
basis similar to current employees, but the City does not pay any portion of the retiree premium.
The costs of providing these benefits and number of retired employees are as follows:
Emp/Dep Number
Total City's Coverage of Retired
Cost Cost Cost Employees
54,352 54,352 7
Retirees who are entitled to receive retirement benefits under the City's retirement plan may purchase
continued health benefits coverage for the retiree and the retiree's dependents, but shall pay 100% of the
premium for coverage. The retiree, however, is able to receive a lower rate by participating in the City's plan
as opposed to individually purchasing health insurance. The City's coverage is secondary to Medicare when
the person becomes eligible for these benefits.

Note 10 Other Post Employment Benefits (continued)
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board published a guideline regarding accounting and financial
reporting by employers for post employment benefits other than pensions. This document gives guidance
regarding the methods and timing for reporting. The effect of the Guideline is to cause the cost of retiree
benefits to be accrued for during the working lifetime of the employees. This requires pre funding or accruing
of a liability. The City has elected to accrue the liability, and the unfunded liability will be funded over a
period of 30 years.
The results of the City's most recent actuarial valuation are as follows:
Unfunded
Actuarial (UAAL) as a

Net OPEB Obligation beginning of year 346,171
Net OPEB obligation end of year 346,171 706,189
The annual cost recorded to the general ledger for fiscal year 2009 is $229,630, which includes the estimated
normal cost of $229,630 to provide for the benefits earned by active employees. The total liability, which is
not recorded to the general ledger, is $6,063,524, and represents the actuarial present value of benefits.
Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Contingencies
The City was involved in various lawsuits and arbitration proceedings at September 30, 2009. The City and
its legal counsel believe that any amounts, which the City might ultimately be required to pay, will not exceed
underlying insurance coverage.

Reimbursement due to Developers
Shadow Creek Town Center
In 2004, the City, along with the Reinvestment Zone Number Two (the Zone), and the Development
Authority of Pearland (the Authority), component units of the City, entered into an agreement with a
developer to reimburse the developer all or a portion of the project costs to implement the Shadow Creek
Ranch Development TIRZ (TIRZ Plan). As projects implementing the TIRZ Plan are completed, the Zone
Board may recommend to the City that the Authority reimburse developers on behalf of the Zone and the
City. The Zone Board will forward to the City and the Authority all of the necessary and required
documentation supporting the requested reimbursement and a determination of the exact amount
requested for reimbursement, including a calculation of the amount of interest to be reimbursed on funds
advanced for the projects. In addition all monies available in the Tax Increment Fund shall be transferred
to the escrow agent no less than once per year and no later than the fifteenth day of each August, subject
to the retention by the City of: (1) an amount equal to the City's administrative costs connected with the
Zone and the TIRZ Plan, as provided in the TIRZ plan (36% of the City's Tax Increment, but not more
than $0.255, in years four through eight, and 64% of the City's Tax Increment, but not more than $0.44,
in years nine through 30) shall be retained by the City; (2) amounts required to be maintained in the Alvin
ISD Suspense Account; (3) an amount sufficient to pay reasonable current and anticipated administrative
and operating costs of the Zone, as determined by the Zone Board.
On November 13, 2006, the City of Pearland, Pearland Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) and
Shadow Creek Retail, LP entered into an agreement whereby the developer would build and construct a
mixed use commercial development located at the northwest corner of State Highway 288 and Broadway,
also known as FM 518.
The Developer will provide for the construction of segments of Broadway Street, Business Center Drive,
Memorial Hermann Drive, as well as landscaping, underground utilities, pipeline relocation and other
associated costs. The source of funds for reimbursement of the public infrastructure is both the TIRZ #2
and City and PEDC sales tax revenue generated from the project. The total funded from TIRZ #2 is
$11,749,618 and out of TIRZ improvements to be funded from sales tax is $2,001,931. Once completion
and tenant occupancy of at least 318,000 square feet is achieved for a period of three consecutive months,
then the City and PEDC, shall remit, monthly, thirty-three percent of sales tax received by the City and
PEDC to the Developer until paid in full plus interest at eight percent per annum for the first two years
following completion of the widening of Broadway and interest at five percent per annum for the
subsequent two years. The Developer met the targets set forth in the agreement in fiscal year 2008. As of
September 30, 2009, the City remitted sales tax to the developer pursuant to the agreement in the amount
of $421,517, of which $289,331 was attributable to fiscal year 2009.

On January 31, 2007, the City and the Pearland Town Center Limited Partnership and CBL Associates
Management, Inc. entered into an agreement whereby the developer would build and construct a 700,000
square feet retail and commercial development, including public infrastructure to serve the project and
then convey the public infrastructure to the City. In consideration of the development which will bring
additional sales tax revenue to the City and additional jobs, the City will reimburse the Developer solely
for the costs associated with the public infrastructure from city sales tax revenues. The cost of the
infrastructure subject to reimbursement is $2,710,362. The City will make monthly reimbursement
payments to the Developer from 50% of the sales tax generated within the project. Reimbursement is to
begin one hundred days after the City receives notice from the Developer, and the City subsequently
verifies that 75% of the square footage or 525,000 square feet have been open for business for at least
thirty consecutive days. The City shall pay the Developer the entire Reimbursement Amount, including
interest within three years of the completion date. Construction of the project began in fiscal year 2007
and Pearland Town Center opened on July 31, 2008. The City received notice in November 2008 that at
least 525,000 square feet had been open for thirty days. As of September 30, 2009, reimbursements
totaled $333,097 and began in February 2009.
Shadow Creek Ranch Office Building ZT Group
The Pearland Economic Development Corporation approved an incentive agreement with ZT Group for
construction of an 80,000 square foot spec class "A" office building in Shadow Creek Ranch. The
incentive is broken into two parts:
Part A If 50% or more of the building is leased prior to the end of construction of the shell building, then
PEDC will pay up to $1,500 for each new job created provided that the average for jobs with each lease is
$40,000 annually and that all jobs are in the facility in Pearland. The benefit is capped at $600,000.
Part B If the building is not 50% pre leased, PEDC will pay a gross lease on the facility at the rate of
$100,000 per month for a maximum of 12 months or 30 days after the facility is 50% or more leased.
As of 9/30/2009, the building was not 50% pre leased and the Pearland Economic Development
Corporation will begin paying $100,000 a month in October 2009.
Cardiovascular Systems Inc. (CSI)
The Pearland Economic Development Corporation approved an incentive agreement with Cardiovascular
Systems Inc. for a potential total incentive of $13.85 million. CSI is a medical device company
developing and commercializing innovative interventional treatment systems for vascular disease. The

The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts: theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City's risk management program
mainly encompasses obtaining property and liability insurance through Texas Municipal League's
Intergovernmental Risk -Pool (TML -IRP), and through commercial insurance carriers. The participation
of the City in TML -IRP is limited to payment of premiums. The City has not had any significant
reduction in insurance coverage, and the amounts of insurance settlements have not exceeded insurance
coverage for any of the last three years.
The City also provides Workers' Compensation insurance on its employees through TML Workers'
Compensation Fund. Workers' Compensation premiums are subject to change when audited by TML
Workers' Compensation Fund. At fiscal year -end September 30, 2009, the City believed the amounts paid

Note 13 Subsequent Events
Development Authority of Pearland
On November 23, 2009, the Development Authority of Pearland authorized a $4.5 million cash
reimbursement to the developer in association with the Master Development agreement and financing
plan. To -date, the DAP has issued debt based on supported values on the ground as well as made cash
reimbursements to the Developer totaling $60,944,700 million, of which $10.4 million is in cash
reimbursements. Cash contributions assist in paying off the obligations earlier as well as reduce interest
and carrying cost of the bonds. There is approximately $62.1 million of improvements by the Developer
approved for reimbursement by the TIRZ board, but not yet reimbursed. Additionally, the Developer has
completed additional improvements estimated at $11.1 million which have not yet been approved for

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET INFORMATION
Budgetary Compliance
The City of Pearland has complied with all material budget requirements for the year ended September
30, 2009.
Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the General, Special Revenue and Debt Service Funds, using the
same basis of accounting as for financial reporting. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end.
Project length budgets are adopted for the Capital Project Funds. The City, for management control,
approves a financial plan for the Enterprise Fund. City Council approves the annual budget for the Pearland
Economic Development Corporation, which is included in the City's financial reporting entity.
Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level (i.e. General Fund, Debt
Service Fund, etc.). Expenditure requests, which would require an increase in total budgeted appropriations,
must be approved by City Council through a formal budget amendment. At any time in the fiscal year, the
Council may make emergency appropriations to meet a pressing need for public expenditure in order to
protect the public health, safety, or welfare. The Council has the power to transfer any unencumbered funds
allocated by the budget from one activity, function, or department, to another activity, function, or
department, to re- estimate revenues and expenditures, and to amend the budget.
Because City Council adopts the budget at the fund level, management has the authority to transfer available
funds allocated by the budget from one function/department or activity to another function or activity within
the same department. In cooperation with the directors and department heads of the City, the Budget
Officer, the Director of Finance and the City Manager prepare an annual budget for the General Fund,
Special Revenue Funds and Debt Service Fund for the ensuing fiscal year, in a form and style as deemed
desirable by the City Manager. The City Manager shall submit to the Council, for its review, consideration,
and revision, both a letter describing the proposed new budget, as well as a balanced budget for the
forthcoming fiscal year, between 60 (sixty) and 90 (ninety) days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year.
The budget, as adopted, must set forth the appropriations for services, functions, and activities of the
various City departments and agencies, and shall meet all fund requirements provided by law and required
by bond covenants. Capital projects are budgeted on a project length basis.
Amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements represent the amended budgeted amount plus all
supplemental appropriations.

The Percentage of Covered Payroll increased for December 31, 2007 because of a change in actuarial
funding method. Since its inception, TMRS has used the Unit Credit actuarial funding method. This
method accounts for liability accrued as of the valuation date, but does not project the potential future
liability of provisions adopted by a city. For the December 31, 2007 valuation, the TMRS Board
determined that the Projected Unit Credit (PUC) funding method should be used, which facilitates
advance funding for future updated service credits and annuity increases that are adopted on an annually
repeating basis.
