What else happened at that meeting

The Board approved a $3,607.00-per-month rental of a mobile generator at lift station no. 1 for hurricane season and asked the operator to bring generator purchase proposals in July. It authorized the delinquent tax attorney to collect 2024 delinquent taxes and approved seven construction pay estimates. The Board adopted a resolution authorizing an application to the TCEQ for bond application no. 4, stated as $10,000,000 for water, sewer, and drainage facilities. Discussion also covered drainage on Arroyo Grande and a proposal for more frequent mowing near lakes, which the attorney said would need HCID 13 approval.

Why the board approved it

Recorded: “Mr. Banes updated the Board on bond application no. 4 for $10,000,000; resolution adopted 'subject to final review' on the engineer's recommendation, on an expedited basis.”

Applying for TCEQ approval is the required step before a water, sewer and drainage bond. The minutes do not list the projects or their costs; the engineer's bond application report would.
