SPECIAL SESSION
Mayor Smith called the meeting to order and opened the discussion between Council and Staff regarding
the City of Friendswood Capital Improvement Projects (CIP).
Community Development Director Morad Kabiri explained that for the benefit of the newly elected
Councilmembers they will begin the discussion with the General Fund Capitai Improvement Projects
(CIP). He pointed the Councilmembers to a list of all CIP projects and explained the four components:
Two General Government components—one for a five year period and one for beyond a five year period,
and two Water and Sewer components—one for a five year period and one for beyond a five year period.
He stated the list of the CIP's General Fund for the current five years have either been completed or are
soon to be completed; therefore it is time to begin creating another five year project list. He stated most
of the General Fund has been depleted and so a new funding source must be found to support the new
list of CIP's. City Manager Roger Roecker stated most of the General Funds above the ninety day
reserve has bee� depleted, but the ninety day reserve is in good standing. Mayor Smith asked Mr. Kabiri
to differentiate betwee� the description he just gave and the status of the Mud Gulley detention and Mr.
Kabiri stated that Galveston County had a Road and Drainage Bond Election in 2008 and $10 million was
set aside for a detention pond and conveyance improvements to Mud Gulley and also funds were
assigned to improvements on Dickinson Bayou. The project has not moved far off center except that
Harris County has acquired the property, the City of Friendswood has pledged $1 million toward the
project improvements and the Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District has pledged $1 million
per operating year for three consecufive years. Mr. Kabiri moved to a discussion of the CIP projects
beyond five years, and stated that the Annalea project was first introduced to the CIP in 2003 at an �
estimated project expenditure of $1.3 million, in 2005 the first phase was begun, and so much of the il
scope of the project was completed. In 2007, the same project was included with the cost diminished, ',
was taken out of the CIP Manual in 2009 as a resuft of a Council retreat and was retumed to it in 2011. ,
Mr. Kabiri continued to go over items on the CIP projects history such as the drainage projects which
inGuded AnnaleaM/hitehall/Kingspark, Shadowbend Phase 2, downtown (FM 518) Phase 2, '
Sunmeadow, West Edgewood (FM 2351) Drainage Outfall-Wegner Ditch. Councilmember Brown asked
if there was flooding in Annalea and Mr. Kabiri stated there is considerable street ponding but no structure
flooding. He gave a detailed history on facility projects that are currently on the CIP list including the
library, records retention center, civic center, a new fire station, Phase 2 of the Public Safety building,
Public Works building renovation, Fire Department training field, and the Parks maintenance building I
Phase 1 and Phase 2. !�
06/06/11 3600
Mr. Kabiri gave a detailed history on the CIP projects, history of the street projects which includes the
Pavement Management Master Plan, Phases 1 and 2 of Brittany Bay Boulevard, Friendswood Link Road
Phase 2, and San Joaquin Parkway reconstruction. He gave a detailed history on the CIP Parks projects
including Imperial Estates Parks, Lake Friendswood, OId City Park, the Friendswood Sportspark Phase 2,
and the parkland acquisition. Mr. Kabiri gave a detailed history on CIP projects along with history of the i
water and sewer projects, with the sewer projects i�cluding the Beamer Road sanitary sewer
improvements, Blackhawk Treatment Plant capacity, EI Dorado-Lundy Lane Sanitary Sewer, FM 528-
Falcon Ridge to Windsong sanitary sewer, FM 528-Lundy Lane to Tower Estates sanitary sewer, and
Windsong sanitary sewer. Water projects included an automated meter reading system, Beamer Road
water, San Joaquin water Iine replacement, a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system
upgrade, the South Friendswood service area water loop, water distribution replacement upgrades, Water
Plant No. 1 rehabilitation, Water Plant No. 3 rehabilitation, and Water Plant No. 4 rehabilitation.
Councilmember Scott asked about the estimated cost savings for the automated meter reading system
and City Manager Roger Roecker stated it would take years and the City is not likely to pursue it in that
time frame. Mr. Kabiri clarified that the inclusion of a project on the CIP list does not indicate that it needs
to be done immediately but simply as food for thought for Council.
Councilmember Brown asked what the top priorities for Staff are at this time for the five year window and
what wouid it be if Staff was given $10 million today and Mr. Kabiri answered the list of General Projects
are ranked in order of importance by Staff. Mayor Smith stated he would suggest that there is a
significant, Iarger influence with the CIP in the General Fund side from Council interaction through the
years and there is a greater degree of influence from Staff on the water and sewer side. Councilmember
Brown asked if sidewalks were part of the Pavement Plan or the CIP and Mr. Kabiri stated that they are
not. Councilmember Brown asked for clarification as to funding for sidewalks and Morad Kabiri agreed
that funding would come from General Fund or it can be added to the CIP, he stated that Staff has looked
extensively into grants for hike and bike trail grants to help fuifiii the need for sidewalks but there would
still be a need for funding above and beyond that. City Manager Roger Roecker talked about the Safe
Route program through the school district and stated they have compieted sidewalks around Blackhawk.
Mayor Smith stated some sidewalks were in the plan that was not actually created at the request of the �
residents of the pertinent communities.
Community Development Director Morad Kabiri stated there are five projects not in the water/sewer list
within the five year window such as Lift Station No. 3, Lift Station No. 6, Water Plants No. 2 and No. 7, the
Blackhawk Wastewater Treatment Plant rehabilitation, the elevated storage tank rehabilitation, east FM
528 water line, and a 42 inch water main replacement.
Councilmember Brown asked if the other projects would not be funded unless there is a bond election,
and stated the City does not have an extra $6 million dollars in the general revenue to fund a new library
so a General Bond election is the only way to pay for everything. The deadline for notification of an
election is September 7 for a November election so there will have to be a task force of citizens working
every week with Council Iooki�g at the projects.
Mayor Smith clarified to Councii that Councilmember Brown stated that a General Revenue Bond election
is one source of funding these CIP projects, he added another way is to save the money as a pay-as-you- i
go option, sales tax dollars have some application for CIP projects but there are Iimits as to use, or 'I
perhaps a hybrid of all. �I
Councilmember Brown stated the City has a balanced budget so there can be no plan to save but can
only unexpectedly have an overage and Mayor Smith stated that in the past when a budgeted project has �
not come to fruition or Staff was able to save money from their budgets the money went into reserves and
is used to fund special projects each year such as an environmental study one year and engineering
requirements the next ;

06/06/11 3601
City Manager Roger Roecker stated that the water and sewer projects for the City of Housto� well water
system buy-in has no money set aside for it yet because the City is not the driver of fate with this project,
' it is a great source of water and because of it Council has enabled the City to have water during times of
I drought.
Councilmember Enochs asked how often does the CIP project update occur and Morad Kabiri stated it is
normally updated every year but the economy has caused the current update to have occurred in two
years.

The invocation was given by Pastor Ralph Hobratschk of Hope Lutheran Church.

**Councilmember Brown moved for the City Attorney to provide an update on the litigation status or
pending litigation to the extent that it is not attorney-client privileged information.
The motion died for lack of a second. �
*'Councilmember Brown moved for the City Manager to immediately let Council know what litigation is �'
currently pending in the City in addition to the Wight litigation.
Seconded by Councilmember Scott. The motion failed 2-4 with Mayor Smith and Councilmembers
Barker, Enochs, and Hill opposed.
*`Councilmember Brown moved to retain Ross, Banks, May, Cron & Cavin, P.C. as the City Attorney.
Seconded by Councilmember Hill. The motion was approved 5-1 with Mayor Smith opposed.
Councilmember Brown explained why she chose this firm and stated that they came out at the top for her.
Councilmember Hill stated the City went through a Iengthy interview process of the top three firms and he
was very impressed with Ross, Banks, May, Cron & Cavin, P.C., and further explained his decision and
stated he has a lot of respect for Olson & Olson but considering the current situation he thinks it is time
for a change, did not take the decision lightly,would hope for a 30 day transition period between firms.
Mayor Smith stated he would prefer that this decision be made with all of Council present because it is
too important to do otherwise. Olson & Olson is one of the most well respected municipal attorney
services in the State of Texas, have done an outstanding job for Friendswood and it is due to them that
most of what Friendswood does is right and not wrong. Council spends a Iot of time talki�g about the five
percent. The day-to-day work between the City Attorney and the City Staff has been beyond reproach,
means no disrespect to the other attorney firms that applied because it is clear to him that each had
unique and varied experiences to bring to the table for good services but does not think there are any that
have the depth or breadth that Olson & Olson has. When examining in totality all the legal issues that
have been presented it would be very difficult for any attorney to be placed in the position in which Olson
& Olson was places, was not the Iead on the Wight case and got biamed for the decision, thanked Bill I
Olson and stated he feels in his heart that Olson & Olson did the best job with what was available to work
with and Mayor Smith does not blame them, maybe a few eggs need to be broken in order to make an
omelet.
Councilmembers Enochs and Scott stated they had no comments.
Councilmember Brown responded to Mayor Smith's comment that Oison & Olson was not the lead on the
Wight litigation by stating that pertinent information and fee statements show that Olson & Olson was the
forefront counsel that was involved. She stated that she did a Public Information Request in 2008 that
resuited in sensitive documents given to her by an erroneous Attorney General opinion. She has the
utmost respect for Bill Olson and they are a good firm but 35 years of representation can cause it to ,
become too comfortable and given the issues it is appropriate to get fresh eyes for the ordinances and
the City Charter, for instance there had to be an action taken to put Harris County on the City Charter and
that should not be.
Councilmember Hill stated he spoke to Councilmember McGinnis Iast night and he is for changing to
Ross, Banks, May, Cron & Cavin, P.C.
Councilmember Barker stated there is no good avenue on the Wight Iawsuit, without written Iegal
opinions that are used for a foundation to make a decision, does not know how good decisions can be
made and it looks like it is going to take changing Iaw firms to get that. He stated Council needs to move
forward with this and does not know how decisions can be made without something being written to show
citizens, has respect for Bill Olson and Bobby Gervais is a very good friend, has regrets but must move
forward.
Councilmember Enochs asked for the City Ma�ager's comments, and Roger Roecker stated he has !, I
appreciated working with Olson & Olson over the years but he leaves the decision to Council.
