Finance staff reported an increase in general‑fund miscellaneous revenue tied to a one‑time payment from Municipal Utility District 16 of about $1.1 million; total general‑fund projected revenue for FY25 is $127.4 million against projected expenditures of $129.5 million, staff said. The amendment increases transfers out to resolve a Coronavirus Relief Fund deficit ($1.4 million) and raises annual contributions to capital holding funds for IT and facilities from $250,000 to $500,000 to create a sustainable fund balance.

In enterprise funds, staff reported higher revenue projections tied to winter weather effects and recognized a roughly $3.5 million cost at Reflection Bay that will be covered from enterprise operating budgets and then returned to those funds through this amendment. Special revenue changes include a $700,000 proposed allocation in the tree trust fund for land acquisition and smaller, targeted appropriations from donation and federal/state seizure funds.

City Budget & Management staff projected the general fund would finish FY25 at about 93 days of fund balance — slightly above the city policy minimum — and recommended proceeding with the amendment. Staff also outlined next steps in the budget calendar: a second reading of the budget amendment on June 9, a comprehensive CIP workshop June 20, and the start of FY26 discussions on July 14.

Council approved the first reading of the ordinance to adopt the amendment; staff will return with the second reading and continue fiscal‑year‑end forecasting before FY26 deliberations.","City staff presented a mid‑year budget amendment (Amendment No. 2) that updates FY25 revenue and expenditure projections, recognizes a one‑time MUD payment and reallocates transfers and capital outlay; council approved the ordinance on first reading and scheduled further budget dates.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6222309,"Council renews Pearland Innovation Hub contract; small‑business users thank chamber and EDC",821,11261000,12082000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3610008-9d7e46f3a3a356fe82e219d0019a1797&start=11261&end=12082","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3610008-9d7e46f3a3a356fe82e219d0019a1797/thumbnail_11261000.jpg","/articles/6222309/Pearland/Brazoria-County/Texas/Council-renews-Pearland-Innovation-Hub-contract-smallbusiness-users-thank-chamber-and-EDC","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6222309-7716122742100ab9963ed53446d7481e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190310&Signature=dJg8l5QaKYKelD6CXjEhlMfjXA2LtYwsuBRqb-vmYvwRAsC-XAcll0hTh24Cc~FodiKbAHqTwQ0YIKBfK~cg3086MKh6N4LOXwKY6hRwhCjDsf-XtGCv9DtIBiHXFlNZeMhJQgsghtaQSIcfPN0kNHltwOPeuvUFf2gNyLfgLSJ1N28qZ3v4YZt457vmyuUs0RWFlJoEPs~b9ASeYxv5AKrLzo0RxTRRDB0~SSW5aKirtwvmHF2jiJ3oxA8IMhCSs0d52CIPNw8SKLUy6XeTW8z1s6cPwdxdICXRXLpnjrKZxFcG9G4W2LRT~Za7vA9ZHib76kz~jdNtrLr-2Mxa~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pearland City Council approved on May 19 a three‑year contract for the Pearland Innovation Hub — a small‑business support program run by the Pearland Chamber of Commerce and funded through the Pearland Economic Development Corporation.

The Pearland Innovation Hub provides a navigator, free coaching hours and a back‑end platform that connects entrepreneurs to advisors, grants and training. Chamber CEO Jim Johnson and PEDC President Matt Buchanan told council the contract totals roughly $888,000 over three years (about $296,000 per year) and funds staff, programming, events and outreach.

Dozens of local business owners and advisers came to the podium to support the renewal. Noe Montoya, co‑owner of Quick Snap Events, said the hub’s “free, welcoming” services and one‑on‑one advisor time helped his business pivot and grow. Marilyn Ramirez Segundo, founder of Yellow Apron Baking Company and a pitch‑competition winner at the hub, said the hub provided “real support, real resources, and real connection.”

Ali Udawala of the Small Business Development Center described a referral partnership with the hub, where early‑stage founders are stewarded to SBDC advisers for deeper, grant‑writing and finance work. David Graham, owner of Spacious (which hosts the hub), and other participants said the hub is useful as an on‑ramp to the local and regional business ecosystem.

The chamber reported 314 members associated with the hub (294 business owners) and staff said project‑based technical assistance launched in September had produced hundreds of advisory hours and dozens of documented business outcomes, including job creation and new marketing initiatives. Council members praised the hub’s early results and the chamber’s management since taking the contract last year.

Council voted 7‑0 to approve the resolution authorizing the contract renewal. Matt Buchanan said the EDC will continue to monitor outcomes and convene an advisory board with local experts to guide the hub’s programming.","After a packed public comment period of entrepreneurs and service providers, Pearland City Council approved renewal of a three‑year contract funding the Pearland Innovation Hub, run by the Pearland Chamber of Commerce and funded by the Pearland Economic Development Corporation, at about $296,000 per year.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6222314,"Pearland council authorizes bond sales and refunding steps; staff aims to lock savings if market improves",467,8734000,9201000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3610008-9d7e46f3a3a356fe82e219d0019a1797&start=8734&end=9201","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3610008-9d7e46f3a3a356fe82e219d0019a1797/thumbnail_8734000.jpg","/articles/6222314/Pearland/Brazoria-County/Texas/Pearland-council-authorizes-bond-sales-and-refunding-steps-staff-aims-to-lock-savings-if-market-improves","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6222314-a3718903e5f2a6601ab8388b2307f9b7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190310&Signature=Sc08dS7phd3HyeiuKC~daHAOKSJpflJ2DeF9aQT23APg1P5iqE06PT77tu8khuysmcP7DmQJtmVYA9zwfNUyPMdvwYPuDP~L7JrsG-L3hgKKrIG9xIycGO8v7~F8OUnDPK3gTebPxPLkuCCIPCGtPKtg6wpiQY3gnYBKTA~UElKBmB9Ug0l4XC1xgFmXAlxEY~xltZTRIuwscyF0955m0UvYC4W5KGu85bIl~dLjUyzVsIEXndDhNq1F2c5hfts591urWaJOJgBDkJF4ofeloYNg3HGnxVPnaIrzH0RauJBRrWW6ZEfeqDPvMMYFC251wz0~I1KVjWnbzrifiGPvRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pearland City Council on May 19 authorized a package of debt actions to fund the fiscal‑year 2025 capital improvement program and pursue refundings of callable bonds, city officials said.

City financial advisors told council the plan combines permanent improvement bonds and refundings, general obligation and revenue‑backed debt for water and sewer projects, and certificates of obligation to realize economies of scale and lower issuance costs. John Robock of BOK Financial Securities summarized the market context, noting recent volatility but predicting rates could fall later in the year; staff recommended authorization of issuance and an ordinance for the refunding portion.

Robock said about $70.5 million of outstanding bonds are currently callable; roughly $24.5 million were immediately callable with present‑value savings above a 3% threshold at current rates. Staff asked council to authorize a parameter amount allowing the city to pursue up to $70.5 million in refundings should market conditions permit higher savings at sale time.

Council approved multiple items related to the financing schedule: resolutions to start the process for certificates of obligation and notices of intent, the first reading of an ordinance for the permanent improvement refunding bonds, and authorization for defeasance (using reimbursed project funds to pay certain certificates early). The staff timeline calls for publication of notices in late May, a rating call in late June, a bond sale July 28 and a scheduled closing Aug. 26.

Robock told council the city’s past refunding program has produced significant taxpayer savings, estimating more than $47 million in avoided interest cost since 2015. For the current proposals, Robock estimated a refunding portion that could produce roughly $966,000 in interest‑cost savings under current yields, while new‑money bonds for capital projects would have higher all‑in rates. He also described an $18.9 million certificates issue and a $14.8 million water and sewer certificates issue in the plan.

Council approved the associated resolutions and ordinances at the May 19 meeting. Several of the bond‑related resolutions passed unanimously. The financing team and bond counsel will return with final pricing and bond documents for council action as required.","Council approved ordinances and resolutions to start the sale of multiple bond issuances, including general obligation refundings and certificates of obligation, and authorized notices of intent with sales scheduled for late July and closing in August.

The proposal, filed by Andrew Aleman of Beacon Land Services LLC on behalf of BEGP 1 LLC, would have changed the property’s zoning from Suburban Residential (SR‑12) to a PD to permit the attached, ground‑entry units, with a central amenity center, wet detention pond, a dog park and internal walking paths. Staff said the PD document reduced units from a previously proposed 101 to 73 and added design and landscaping commitments including a row of parking along the southern property line and a hedgerow with one large tree per 25 feet along the south property line.

The PD drew sharp public reaction. Opponents — including immediate neighbors who said they own multi‑acre homes along Adamo Lane — spoke about increased impervious cover, drainage and traffic. Benito Valadez, who said he lives directly south of the site, warned the proposal’s 62% lot coverage “is a significant deviation” from the city’s multifamily allowance of 40% and said that greater coverage could worsen flooding and change neighborhood character. Clayton Smith, another nearby resident, told council he found the engineering information internally inconsistent and questioned how stormwater would be routed to the proposed retention area.

Supporters — including family members of the sellers and residents who called for more housing choice — said the design was a compromise from earlier submissions and argued the project would provide an option for teachers, firefighters and other local workers who can’t afford single‑family homes. John Lysol, whose family owns the land, said the townhome plan would allow the family to sell property they cannot develop themselves and called the proposed units appropriate for “young professionals” and older residents wanting to downsize.

City staff and planning staff told council the application meets most PD criteria in the Unified Development Code and the city’s comprehensive plan future land‑use designation of “urban living,” though staff identified exceptions related to the site’s existing neighborhood character. Staff listed eight recommended conditions (four from staff, four matching Planning & Zoning Commission conditions) including confirming elevations and transparency on McCard‑facing buildings, clarifying AC‑unit location and screening, correcting a trail/maintenance note, and strengthening landscaping along the southern lot line. Staff also noted that because the combined public comments touched 52% of adjoining property, state procedures require a supermajority (six of seven) for approval.

The PD application requests several deviations from the UDC that drew the most attention: an increase in impervious coverage (62% proposed vs. 40% allowed for multifamily), and a reduced density request (10 dwelling units per acre proposed where multifamily allows 16 du/acre). Staff said the detention pond would count toward required buffers but the pond maintenance berm cannot support the full vegetative buffer, prompting a deviation related to vegetative buffer plantings.

Applicant Andrew Aleman, who identified himself at the podium as representing Beacon Land Services, and developer Lehi Hassan described changes since a November workshop and an April Planning and Zoning review, including reduced density, added amenities and a clarified emergency access. Aleman said the Adamo Lane connection was intended for emergency egress and the project team would improve the adjacent section of Adamo Lane and local stormwater infrastructure. Hassan said the project is “not a subsidized project” and aims for “affordable for the people as a housing choice for teachers and firemen,” while acknowledging it will not be a subsidized development.

After roughly 30 public speakers and extended council discussion about drainage, precedent, impervious cover standards, parking and the Adamo Lane access, Council voted on first reading of ordinance 2000m‑272 (the PD rezoning). The roll call vote was Carbone, Chavarria, Fernandez and Cozza in favor; Cade, Patel and Mayor Pro Tem Biram opposed. The motion failed 4‑3.

The council’s first‑reading defeat ends this ordinance at this stage; applicants may revise and return to Planning & Zoning and city council for future hearings. Staff noted several of the technical concerns — stormwater routing, traffic analysis and design elevations — remain matters to resolve before any future approval.","City council declined on a 4-3 vote to advance a first reading that would have rezoned about 8 acres at 8210 McCard Road from SR‑12 to a Planned Development for a 73‑unit build‑to‑rent townhouse‑style community after extended public testimony focusing on impervious cover, drainage and access.","actionData","errors"]
