Letters like this sometimes close with an encouragement to be “healthy.” Instead I will open with that and note how in Pearland, that is getting easier to do. Already located a few miles and minutes from the largest medical center in the world, health options in Pearland have gotten considerably better in the last 12 months. Last year, the Pearland Medical Center, a Hospital Corporation of America-owned facility, opened its doors as the first hospital within our boundaries. The $71 million, 144,000 sq. ft. acute care hospital joins the Pearland Medical Plaza

professional building on the 48-acre site. Pearland Medical Center will employ 250 hospital staff members and a professional medical staff of more than 200 physicians in a variety of specialties.Now, we have opening a little further south, the Pearland Memorial Hermann Hospital. The 60-bed hospital will have a capacity for future expansion in a 100,000 sq. ft., $117 million, 4-story facility including an emergency center, medical/heart/surgical unit, intensive care and a Life Flight helipad. Those two major institutions add to our growing and dynamic Pearland community.Accessible health care is not just a critical service; it means hundreds of new jobs in our backyards. There are thousands of medical students in the metro area, perhaps some more of them will elect to rent or buy in Pearland, maybe even take a healthy walk over to work from one of the nice adjacent Business Center Drive apartment complexes. Lots of good things happening here in Pearland, thank you for being a resident, employee, visitor or business person here. Oh, and that 288 commute for those to the Texas Medical Center or other Houston employers will get better. Over the next three years, a $1 billion project to take managed toll lanes from downtown Houston down 288 to Pearland will open. There will be significant improvements to the free lanes owned by TxDOT and all of this is happening without direct construction cost to TxDOT because of the tolls that will be paid by the people who use the road. Take a look for updates on that project and other mobility work on pearlandtx.gov any time.

Stay healthy,

TRIAL BY PEERS OCCURS IN TEEN COURTAre you a teenager who recently received a citation in Pearland for a Class C misdemeanor filed through the Pearland Municipal Court? You now have an additional option if you want to have your violation eventually dismissed. Teen Court is now in session and allows Teen Court for a trial by the peers of the teen.

Teen Court programs benefit all the youth involved and the community. Bringing teen youth offenders to a jury of peers and to the community for constructive punishment provides the youth with an understanding of the judicial system and a realization of their role in the community. The program is meant to provide a meaningful educational opportunity of good citizenship for everyone involved.

Teen Court allows teens to assume responsibility for their actions by involving them in the judicial process through their sentencing hearing. The option must first be presented to the municipal judge. Once it is granted, and the $20 teen court fee is paid, the teen will be scheduled for a Teen Court hearing. The teen will then present their case to a jury of their peers, which will be teens from the community. The teen

jury will assign community service hours and jury terms to be completed in a 90-day-period. If the community service hours, jury terms and other sanctions are successfully completed, the case(s) will be dismissed.

For more information or to volunteer, call the Pearland Teen Court Coordinator at 281.997.5901 or email [email protected].

GENERAL ELECTIONS SCHEDULED A General Election will be held for electing Councilmember Position No.1, Councilmember Position No. 5 and the new Councilmember Position No. 6 on Saturday, May 7, 2016. All of the positions will serve a three-year term.

Residents in Brazoria County should vote at one of the County’s Voting Centers. A voting center is a polling place that combines multiple precincts allowing voters to choose which location to vote. The programs allow voters to vote at any polling place location within the City of Pearland and Brazoria County on Election Day.

For more information on the election, visit pearlandtx.gov.

City News


Pearland Green Pearland Green is a new way for residents to learn about proper tree maintenance, irrigation, mulching, and other gardening tips. Hosted by Tyler Froberg, Pearland’s Urban Forrester, the series educates viewers about a variety of topics related to tree health, lawn maintentence and gardening by demonstrating best practices in the preservation of a healthy urban landscape.

The video series is a part of an effort to spread knowledge about proper lawn and garden care in order to show everyone how to be “green.” The Urban Forestry program exists to help residents select the appropriate trees for planting, to provide education about proper tree care and the benefits of trees, and to protect, preserve, and restore the urban forest canopy through code enforcement, planning and tree planting coordination.

To learn more tips and tricks, log on to pearlandtx.gov/forestry. To watch, visit youtube.com/copearland

Pearland Parks and Recreation Department receives awardsSo far, this has been a bountiful year for our Pearland Parks and Recreation Department, taking home several awards for excellence in their field.

In February 2016, the Knapp Activity Center’s “Around the World” program received the TRAPS Outstanding Program in Aging Award. This award is presented to city programs that provide a unique and beneficial contribution to the senior community.

The monthly “Around the World” program provides an opportunity for senior’s in the Pearland community to further their knowledge and understanding of other cultures and have a good time. Each month is themed, with a central focus on a particular country. Activities include dancing, exploring foreign cuisine, and learning words and phrases from another language.

The Parks and Recreation Department also took home the TRAPS 2016 Administration / Management Excellence Award. The award recognizes innovations in administration, management or supervisory actions that have responded to problems, improved service to the public or increased employee morale, staff development or communication between or among the public, boards, council and staff.

The Department was chosen to receive this statewide award for the recent implementation of a “revolutionary intent based leadership,” which empowered Department staff by giving them the ability to make decisions on their own - without having to obtain multiple levels of approval from management which increased employee morale and communication while improving service levels.

To learn more about our Parks and Recreation programs and opportunities, visit pearlandtx.gov/parks.
