COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
Phillip Ratisseau, Friendswood resident, addressed Council and stated he has done some research on
drainage and flooding that has gone on in the area. Congress has appropriated money for storm relief)
money has been budgeted to go to the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) but USACE has
not decided how the money will be dispersed. The public needs to speak to their representatives to pu{
pressure on the USACE to start projects and bring attention to work that needs to be done on locale
creeks. Galveston County Judge Mark Henry is working with Galveston County Drainage District to use
their barge to clean out the creek.
Ken Clark, Galveston County Commissioner, addressed Council and stated he would like to address
information Council received in regards to the Southeast Regional Detention Facility. The City of
Friendswood, along with Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District, and Galveston County,
partnered with Harris County Flood Control to reduce flooding on Clear Creek. Harris County Floods
Control has been made aware that some of that dirt has found its way into a disposal site that is close to
the creek: The contractor will be working vigorously over the next 30 to 40 days to move the dirt. The dirt
being moved has been tested, is safe to move/dispose of in a normal manner, and is not toxic.
Don Johnson, Friendswood resident, addressed Council and stated last month he came to Council with a
problem he was not sure could be resolved. He thanked Council, Staff, and the drainage district directors
that helped get an amazing turnaround from Harris County Flood Control District.
Billy Enochs, Friendswood resident, addressed Council and stated it is the eve of Election Day and he is
running for Galveston County Commissioner Precinct 4. He is running to bring the truth to light, is more
about servant leadership trumps micromanaging, and should conduct ourselves in a manner that inspires
the next generation. The election is about people not politics, and some people are stepping forward to
try to make a difference. Friendswood residents have always shown up strong on Election Day and
03/05/18 4767
encouraged everyone to get out and vote, and would be honored if they choose to vote for him as
Galveston County Commissioner Precinct 4. '
WORK SESSION
Mayor Holland opened the discussion regarding the Galveston County Bond Program. Assistant City
Manager Morad Kabiri stated in November 2017, Galveston County held a bond election regarding four
propositions, and one of the propositions pertain to a transportation project for the City of Friendswood.
In April 2017, Galveston County had asked for a list of projects from the city and one was submitted to
them. The letter reflected the city's Capital Improvement Plan and a project Council felt needed to move
forward here in the City of Friendswood. The bond program passed and the County is now looking for a
scope for the project in order to move forward with a local agreement. Mr. Kabiri introduced Michael
Shannon, Galveston County Engineer, to explain to Council the process and the timing of which the
bonds will be issued and the projects moved forward. Galveston County Engineer Michael Shannon
stated the county needs direction from the city as to the scope of what project the city would like included
and to proceed with a bond issue project. The Galveston County Commissioners Court would authorize
any agreement, starts with the scope, basic framework of local agreements, county would contract for the
engineering and construction, and the city would maintain and own the project after completion. The
allocation was treated in an equitable manner and based on population percentage. The City of
Friendswood was allocated $3.57 Million with a dollar for dollar match up to $1 Million additional funds.
The total funds available for the project including matching funds is $5.57 Million. The county did get an
indication that one of the projects the city was considering was Friendswood Lakes Boulevard, and need
clarification on the direction of the project.
Discussion took place between Mayor, Council, Galveston County Engineer Michael Shannon, Galveston
County Commissioner Ken Clark, and Staff regarding the Friendswood Lakes Boulevard project,
estimated to be from FM 528 to West Boulevard, bonds have been sold and funds are available from the ,
county to start engineering, there is no set hard deadline from the county at this time for project scope,
right-of-way acquisitions may need to be acquired, two-lane road versus four-lane road, and possible
funding options for the city's portion of the project. The consensus of Council was for Staff to talk to
Galveston County about other potential funds available from the county, meet with property owners to see
what kind of involvement can be expected from them to get a dialogue started, and look into doing a
traffic study of the project area.
Mayor Holland opened the discussion regarding Public Education/Government Access (PEG) technology
updates. Multi-Media Communication Specialist Jeff Newpher presented a PowerPoint presentation
regarding technology updates to include Council Chamber displays, distribution system, and television
(TV) production. Funding for all three components would come from Public Education/Government
Access (PEG) Channel funding, explained where PEG Channel funding comes from, funds may only be
used for capital expenditures related to the PEG Channel. Technology upgrades in the Council Chamber
will include a ceiling mounted television facing the audience, tablet option at the City Manager position,
could be used for presentations during Council meetings and Planning and Zoning Commission meetings.
The second component of the technology upgrade is the distribution system which will create an in-house
TV network, allows conference rooms and some Staff offices to view what is being played back through
the media equipment, and allow other City Hall locations to view Council meetings live. The third
component of the technology upgrade is the TV production component with an upgrade portable system
from standard definition (SD) to high definition (HD) and robotic manned and wireless manned cameras.
The most important part of this plan is the continued relationship with the media students at Friendswood
Independent School District (FISD). Instead of having robotic cameras, used cameras would be manned
by students trained to operate the equipment for use in recording library presentations, parades, concerts,
ceremonies, and events. Staff recommends selecting Ford Audio-Video Systems LLC (Ford AV) as the
vendor, same vendor that did Council Chamber upgrades last year, part of the BuyBoard purchasing
cooperative, is saving the city time and money. The cost of the three components would be Council '
Chamber upgrades $13,109, distribution system $18,212, and TV production $107,344. Ford AV
assembles and tests all equipment in their warehouse, then delivers and installs the systems. There
would be a 10-week turnaround on the project if Council approves the proposed technology upgrades.
03/05/18 4768
Discussion took place between Mayor, Council, and Staff regarding the current balance in Public
Education/Government Access funds is$615,000, and the city receives an estimated $100,000 yearly.
Mayor Holland opened the discussion regarding the Capital Projects update. Director of Public
Works/City Engineer Patrick Donart presented a PowerPoint presentation regarding the progress made
on Capital Projects since the February Council meeting. He reported on Old City Park, restroom and
pavilion at Lake Friendswood, Lift Station No. 23, Pavement Management Survey, Blackhawk Boulevard
Phase II, Blackhawk Wastewater Treatment Plant, Mandale Bridge, current Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) projects and county projects throughout the city.
With concurrence of Council, Mayor Holland moved to Agenda Item 8, Communications from Committees

COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
Adam Hill, Friendswood resident, addressed Council and stated he would like to speak regarding
Friendswood Lakes Boulevard. He has had meetings with the other owners collectively over the last 18
months. He stated he has been denied by the Planning and Zoning Commission, is running out of lots,
there is a timeframe in which the boulevard will need to be extended, has already done part of it, and then
his good faith will go away because he will have spent his money. He will ask again for an exemption to
continue the next section and that will keep good faith going. A traffic study was requested for
Friendswood Trails, houses will be on the ground in August, and traffic will not be able to get kids to
school. There are some good land owners that would like to give the city some money and some
expensive land. Assistant City Manager Morad Kabiri had told him there would be a meeting soon, and
he believes that will be worthwhile, but he has a timeframe to decide either to start engineering the road
or build more lots. He believes Friendswood Lakes Boulevard would be good for the City of Friendswood,
and hopes that an agreement can come quickly.
Robert Griffon, Friendswood resident, addressed Council and stated he is running for City Council
Position No. 4, his wife Anita has lived in Friendswood all her life except when in college, he has lived in
Friendswood for 47 years, graduated from Friendswood High School, earned his Doctorate of Business
Administration from Texas Tech University, members of Friendswood Friends Church, and they are
blessed to be a part of the City of Friendswood. In 1996, he formed Griffon and Associates, LLC, an oil
and gas production and operating company, also President of a family owned business managing
investments in private and publically traded companies and other assets. He believes his career in oil
and gas and his intimate knowledge of all types of investments, along with his team building skills lends '
credibility to his qualifications to serve on City Council. After the tragic death of his brother, John Paul,
his family and friends pulled together to start the JP Griffon Memorial Foundation, and over the past 30
years the foundation has provided over $425,000 to graduating seniors in the City of Friendswood. He
03/05/18 4770
will bring the same level of volunteer spirit and dedication to a common cause through servant leadership,
' to serve on City Council. He believes what makes the City of Friendswood great is not just the city but
the people who call Friendswood home. His family has been blessed with many friendships, business
relationships, and common causes through which our lives have been immeasurably enriched, and it is
for these wonderful people and all the wonderful people of Friendswood he has decided to run for City
Council. I want to be their voice on City Council and I want to put the voters of Friendswood first.
With concurrence of Council, Mayor Holland moved to Agenda Item 6, Joint Public Hearing.
JOINT PUBLIC HEARING
i
Mayor Holland and Planning and Zoning Commission Chair Rhonda Neel called a Joint Public Hearing to
order to receive comments from the public both oral and written, regarding a zone classification change
request for 3.306 acres, Fountains at Friendswood Subdivision, Reserve F (1.428 acres) and Reserve G
(1.878 acres) located at 2245 and 2275 Thomas Trace, Friendswood, Galveston County, Texas, to
change from Community Shopping Center (CSC) to Community Shopping Center with a Specific Use
Permit (CSC/SUP) for NAICS Use No. 6231 Nursing Care Facilities, Skilled Nursing Facilities, NAICS
Use No. 623311 Continuing Care Retirement Communities (with on-site nursing) and NAICS Use Noi
623312, Assisted Living Facilities for the Elderly, without on-site nursing (assisted living and memory'
care).
Deputy Director of Community Development/City Planner Aubrey Harbin explained that the request is for
a Specific Use Permit(SUP)for assisted living and memory care. The proposed development will consist
of two tracts of land, total of 103 units, one tract of land will be a two-story building with memory care
units, the other tract will be a three-story building with assisted living units. As part of the application the
applicant is requesting a building height of 51 %feet for the three-story assisted living building.
Planning and Zoning Commission Chair Neel asked if the applicant was present and would like to speak.
Sel Thint, agent of Thomas Developers, LLC (applicant), stated applicant is requesting a Special Use
Permit, property has been marketed for a little over three years, tract is recessed behind car wash, and
the owner would like an extra use in the medical field. The proposed development would be a for-profi✓
entity, facility will have a contract for private emergency services, almost zero burden to the city with
regards to daily operations or high water vehicle flood evacuation.
Councilmember Rockey asked if the facility's contract for emergency services would include 911 calls and
high water evacuation, and Mr. Thint answered yes and the ambulance company would have access to
100 vehicles during a high water evacuation situation to transport all the facility's residents.
i.,
Councilmember Hill asked if the proposed development had been discussed with the city's Communit
and Economic Development Committee (CEDC), and Mr. Thint answered that he had not had a formal
discussion with the committee. Mr. Thint stated he did have a phone conversation with Economic
Development Coordinator Karen Capps and she expressed the interest of the CEDC to have office space
developed, and he responded to her that they have had 10,000 square feet plus available for offices for
over a year and there have been no takers.
Councilmember Scott asked what the original max height requirement was for Community Shoppin
Center zoning, and Deputy Director of Community Development/City Planner Aubrey,Harbin answered 40
feet. Councilmember Scott clarified that the applicant was requesting to go to 51 '/s feet, and Ms. Harbi ,
answered yes.
Councilmember Gustafson asked how many residents would there be, and Mr. Thint answered there will
' be 75 assisted living residents with a total of 103 residents in the facility.
Councilmember Hill asked what the total value of the development would be once completed, and Mr.
Thint answered$15 Million with $150,000 a year in taxes.
03/05/18 4771
Planning and Zoning Commission Chair Neel asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the request. '
Cody Miller, owner of Center Court Pizza, stated he has a grandparent that stays at an assisted living
facility in Friendswood but has no transportation. The development has been presented to him that there
will be sidewalks the elderly could walk to nearby restaurants. He stated he was the first tenant at the
development, has been almost a full year, the agent has not been able to fill the development, trying to
get people to the location, make it a destination for people to enjoy the fountains, outside, restaurants,
and the entertainment.
Kelly Hutchinson, commercial real estate broker for Colliers International, stated she has worked in
leasing and land sales for this property for a couple of years for the owner. In her professional opinion
the best use for the land is not office, Friendswood has a lot of available office space for lease at the
moment, has been leasing the shopping center along the frontage, thinks medical offices will come but
not right now, activity with assisted living and people visiting will help.
Louis Tannos, consultant for Thomas Developers, LLC (applicant), stated he agrees with the real estate
advisor, the $15 Million development works perfectly, and request will fit in with what the developer is
currently doing. As far as building height, the property is not backed up to the neighborhood behind it, is
almost 350 feet from the neighborhood, cannot see any reason not to build height, is a for-profit with no
intention to sell/trade to non-profit at any time in the future.
Planning and Zoning Commission Chair Neel asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition of the
request.
Lynette Burns, Friendswood resident, stated she is against the zone change in regards to the height
request. She backs up to the car wash, which is a one-story, and she can see people when she is in her '
backyard. A three-story building will look down into her neighborhood, will effect home values and the
privacy of homeowners. She is in favor of the development but opposed to the height of the three-story
building.
Vincent Detmer, Friendswood resident, stated he lives on Destin Lane and like Ms. Burns his property
backs up to San Joaquin, can see the back of the car wash. He is opposed to the height of the proposed
development, stick to zoning guidelines, seem to be exceeding limits more and more, sees the clientele
that goes to Center Court Pizza, are people living at senior facility going to visit there as well as a
microbrew pub, confused as to why a residency would be put inside a shopping facility.
Phil Ratisseau, Friendswood resident, stated Republic EMS provided a letter stating they would do the
facility's transfers, that is not 911 services, what will happen when a resident in this facility falls in the
middle of the night, the city's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) would have to deal with the emergency
because a transfer service will not be there in the middle of the night. The city should get things in writing
in order to hold the owner to what is being said, what will keep them from turning into non-profit down the
road just as Village in the Park has, need to get some kind of assurance for the city.
John Kelly, Operations Manager for Republic EMS, stated Republic EMS is a little different than your
typical private transfer company, do not provide dialysis or appointment transfers, strictly service
standalone emergency room facilities, and all employees are 100% capable of taking care of any patient
that would need a transfer, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and they operate on all holidays.
Republic EMS is certified through the state, currently working on a contract with the owner that will outline
what will be done in an emergency situation.
Councilmember Gustafson asked if Republic EMS would be onsite or would they be called out, and Mr.
Kelly answered they would be onsite. ,
Councilmember Hill asked if Republic EMS would be responsible for transporting if a resident fell out
ofbed, and Mr. Kelly answered yes.
03/05/18 4772
Councilmember Rockey asked if Republic EMS would put in writing that the city's EMS would never have
' to respond to that facility, and Mr. Kelly answered they would be willing to entertain that.
Councilmember Foreman asked if the elevation is what made the height of the three-story building 51
feet, and Mr. Thint answered yes.
Councilmember Rockey asked if the project was not viable if cannot get the three-story height, and Sel
Thint answered yes because the lot is so small, cannot make the numbers work if it is a two-story, need
the number of units. i
Planning and Zoning Commission Chair Neel adjourned the Planning and Zoning Commission's portion of
