Overview

Notice of the Board's regular meeting on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at the offices of the District's attorney, 3200 Southwest Freeway, Houston. Items that involve money include a possible budget amendment, awards of construction contracts for listed Dunham Pointe sections, pay estimates and change orders, and amending the Cost Sharing Agreement with HCID 13 (item 14). The minutes show the Board awarded the Section 16 paving contract ($752,007.00) and approved an Amended and Restated Cost Sharing Agreement, both of which were listed.

Questions to check (1)

The agenda doesn't show when or where it was posted; the posting certificate would confirm it went up by Saturday, April 12, 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 (April 8, 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 April 15, 2025 meeting notice, showing date and time posted.

Review checklist: Agendas and posting certificates

Each check names the rule it tests, as the text stood on 2025-04-15, 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.
