“If I remember correctly, you guys are now putting in cameras at all your facilities, so if someone does show up in the middle of the night, dumps a bunch of stuff, somebody gets alerted, and you all go pick it up. Is that correct? That is correct, yes. Like I say, I've seen that improvement because I drive past it all the time on the one out there. So I appreciate those efforts, and thank you for bringing back the landscaping. I understand member Patel, you proposed the wet detention in the previous conversation. I understand the reasoning behind it. My alternative to that was additional…”

“Member Byrum? Thank you, Mr. Mayor. On this screen, it says existing trees in the right-of-way. Those are going to remain, so those are what are in the foreground of your picture, correct? Yes. Okay. Is this area staff, is this part of the Lower Kirby District? No. Okay.”

“And all of that landscaping... I agree. We spent a lot of money beautifying 288. All of that landscaping is managed by, is it BP2-288 or is it Lower Kirby? PMMDT, so another additional entity. And they wouldn't have anything to do with this property, correct? Ultimately, what I'm getting at is, When you show the aerial of this area, the lots on either side of this are not developed currently either. So whatever we do here is ultimately going to set the precedent for what happens with the adjoining lots. And I agree with Member Patel. There's been a lot of money spent on the 288 corridor and…”

“So it could potentially approach PMMD2 and ask about some beautification in that area as it develops as well, yes?”

“Mr. Mayor, I would motion that Move that we would amend this CUP application to include council condition item number six from the June 28th meeting to ensure that the cross access is installed between the adjoining properties. And I would also move that we include language that the landscaping is a continuous hedgerow around the detention with irrigation.”

“Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'll echo my council members. We've talked about this, a great process. We get better at it every year. And so I appreciate y'all's efforts to look at better ways to do this, more efficient ways to do this. Can we jump to slide five of the presentation real quick? It was commented earlier when we were having discussions about the ESDs, and I just wanted to make sure that this was clarified, that conversations around what we're trying to figure out with the ESDs are centrally considering cost recovery. It was commented in those conversations earlier that we were trying to…”

“Yeah, sure, Mr. Mayor. Since we're having this conversation again on the water rates, I think it's important to point out for the public to understand that the reason that there is a predicted higher number in FY28 partially is because we are pushing the water rate as low as we can. And we had that conversation when we had the water rate discussion that we're getting as low as we possibly can and still maintain our fund balances. When we look at these buy-downs that we've done, whether it's in the general fund or the debt service or the enterprise fund, in order to get the tax rate lower,…”

“if I may maybe I'm not understanding I thought and Victor correct me if I'm wrong we're not appropriating any dollars with this resolution correct where we're so that's that's correct we're a drop adopting the five-year plan the first year of this plan is”

“Correct, but even the dollars allocated, like for example, the first one on the screen, FA-2405, that 1.65, that's... That is for the balance of the land acquisition. Right. Well, okay, so that's a bad example because we've already approved. Yes, sir. My point is maybe there's a different line item, but just because it's put in the 27 budget, we still have to appropriate those dollars on a resolution in FY27.”

“Yeah, so if you read the Member Patel's request, and Member Chavarria's second, she talked about us putting together an opportunity to have further discussion on the housing issue and things of that nature. I didn't run into the same problem, but I also didn't go look for the live stream on our website. I'll leave you on that. I did want to add I put two supplementals in the packet for the general public to be aware of and I'll go through them quickly because I didn't fully understand the agenda item, so maybe it's not for discussion tonight. Just to point out for the public, if you look in…”

“And, Member Byron? Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I know we're not taking any action tonight. It's a discussion item just to throw it out on the table. As far as I'm concerned, I think as a community we can walk and chew gum at the same time. We can look at two different things and see what comes to fruition first. I'd be perfectly fine. Member Patel, you've already started the conversation. They've asked for member Patel and the mayor to be involved in continuing the conversation if that's something you're willing to do. I'm fine with it. I'm all for conversations. I'm all for partnering within our…”

“Any other comments? Yes, Mr. Mayor. I'd just like to say that I agree with everywhere we can utilizing taxpayer dollars within our country, even within our community. We talked about that with buying vehicles and things of that nature. How can we use the taxpayer dollars from the City of Pearland for the benefit of the City of Pearland? That's why I supported putting this on the agenda, but I did want to make the point, and you guys can correct me if I say this wrong, we don't have any indication that the engineering firms that we have used are offshoring anything, It is something that's…”
