The board action behind it
2026-07-21: Approved developer reimbursement report for the $9,000,000 Series 2026 Road Bonds and authorized disbursement of bond proceeds
What else happened at that meeting
The Board approved the developer reimbursement report for the $9,000,000 Series 2026 Road Bonds and authorized disbursement of bond proceeds. It renewed the District's insurance policies and approved a revised maintenance schedule adding $20,800.00 for fine mowing and handwork at Ponds AB, FG2, and FG4, with costs shared with HCID 13. The Board awarded the Mesenil Drive Street Dedication contract to the second-lowest bidder, Fellers & Clark, LP, for $2,472,750.00 after the engineer reported the lowest bidder asked to withdraw its bid due to a substantial error. It adopted a resolution for bond application no. 5 and accepted a petition to add a 54.2-acre tract, authorizing a request for City of Houston consent.The law and guidance in force on 2026-07-21

HCID 14 → Dunham Pointe Development, LLC: $8,083,862 Road construction $3,075,118; right-of-way land $1,907,559; Jack Road (HCID 13-titled) $1,121,284; developer interest $1,078,659; engineering and testing $901,241 (Series 2026 Road Bonds official statement, Use and Distribution of Bond Proceeds (on EMMA)).
Why the board approved it
Recorded: “Auditor discussed the process and presented the report (p.1-2).”
Having the auditor check each item before payment is the right control. The minutes do not state the amount paid, the interest rate and period used, or how land was priced, and for road bonds no TCEQ rule necessarily caps them.
