2025-12-16: Approved developer reimbursement report for the $10,000,000 Series 2025A and $8,000,000 Series 2025B bonds and authorized disbursement of bond proceeds

What else happened at that meeting

The Board approved the developer reimbursement report for the Series 2025A and 2025B bonds and authorized disbursement of bond proceeds. It deferred utility service terminations for December and authorized the operator to ask the TCEQ to approve an online system for backflow and inspection records. The Board approved a $80,500.49 pay estimate for Section 19 paving and accepted a Waiver of Special Appraisal from Dunham Pointe covering 121 acres. The roll lists all five directors, but the minutes record Director Dawson as absent for the early votes and joining the meeting during the operations item.
