Overview
Notice of the regular meeting on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. It adds a public-comment policy (item 1), the annual continuing-disclosure report, the Consumer Confidence Report, and a first 'District security matters, and authorize appropriate action' item. Money items include construction awards (the minutes show Sections 15 and 19 paving awarded for $661,107.00 and $1,024,734.00), pay estimates and change orders.
Questions to check (2)
The agenda doesn't show when or where it was posted; the posting certificate would confirm it went up by Saturday, May 17, 2025, 1:00 p.m., 72 hours before the 1:00 p.m. meeting. (p. 1) Gov't Code §551.043 requires notice to be posted at least 72 hours before the meeting. The PDF's internal creation date (May 14, 2025) shows it was prepared ahead of time, but that is not a record of posting.
Records that would answer it: Posting certificate (or County Clerk posting record) for the May 20, 2025 meeting notice, showing date and time posted.
The minutes record the Board entering a Master Service Agreement with Flock Safety and approving a $7,300.00 proposal for two license plate reader cameras (with a $6,000.00 annual maintenance fee), under an item that reads only 'District security matters, and authorize appropriate action' (item 17). (p. 3) Gov't Code §551.041 requires notice of each subject. License plate readers are a matter of special public interest, and AG guidance says notice should be more specific for such matters; nothing in the item tells residents a camera contract would be considered.
Records that would answer it: Flock Safety Master Service Agreement as finalized and the $7,300.00 proposal; Any District policy on retention and sharing of license plate reader data.

Review checklist: Agendas and posting certificates
Each check names the rule it tests, as the text stood on 2025-05-20, and the record that settles it. This record reports facts; each rests on an approving original (an order, approved minutes, an executed agreement), shown below or asked for. "Question" means the record on file doesn't show the rule was followed: a question to confirm, not a finding.
