Overview

Notice of the regular meeting on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. (Suite 2400, Rio Grande Conference Room); the PDF shows that date on page 1 even though the District's website links it as the agenda for November 17, 2026. It includes the tax-rate public hearing and Order Levying Taxes (item 7), offering documents and scheduling the sale of Unlimited Tax Bonds, Series 2026A (item 4, no amount stated), annexation (item 13), and construction awards including Sections 27, 29 and 31 and Mueschke Road Street Dedication, Section 3. Minutes for this meeting are not yet among the posted documents.

Questions to check (4)

The agenda doesn't show when or where it was posted; the posting certificate would confirm it went up by Saturday, October 17, 2026, 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 (October 14, 2026) 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 October 20, 2026 meeting notice, showing date and time posted.

This PDF is the notice for Tuesday, October 20, 2026 (p. 1), but the District website's About page links it as the agenda for the November 17, 2026 meeting. (p. 1) Good practice: a resident following the website link would see last month's items, not the notice for the next meeting; the posted notice for November 17 is what Gov't Code §§551.041 and .043 govern.

Records that would answer it: The posted notice for the November 17, 2026 meeting, with its posting certificate; Minutes of the October 20, 2026 meeting once approved.

The tax-rate hearing item (item 7) doesn't state the proposed rate; the September 15, 2026 minutes show a proposed total rate of $1.35 per $100 ($0.65 debt service; $0.70 operations and maintenance). (p. 1) Good practice: tax-rate adoption is a matter of special public interest. Notice and hearing are governed by Tax Code ch. 26 and, where it applies to this District, Water Code §49.23602.

Records that would answer it: Published notice of the 2026 tax-rate public hearing (Cypress Creek Mirror); Order Levying Taxes for 2026.

The executive-session reservation covers 'any of the matters listed above' and labels Section 551.086 as 'Economic Development'; worth confirming that citation, since §551.086 covers competitive matters of public power utilities and the economic-development exception is §551.087. (p. 3) Gov't Code §551.101 requires a closed session to be announced with the section relied on, and §§551.071-.076 and .087 list the permitted topics. The notice does cite sections (551.071, .072, .073, .074, .076, .086). Minutes for this meeting are not yet among the posted documents, so whether a closed session was held isn't known. The same wording appears on 19 documents since 2025-04-15.

Records that would answer it: The District's explanation of the Section 551.086 citation in its standard notice; Certified agenda or recording for any closed session held at this meeting (§551.103), if one was held.

Questions to confirm, not findings.

What you can do: The District website suggests the next regular meeting is Tuesday, November 17, 2026; look for its separately posted notice (it should be up by Saturday, November 14, 2026, 1:00 p.m.) before relying on this October 20 agenda.

Review checklist: Agendas and posting certificates

Each check names the rule it tests, as the text stood on 2026-10-20, 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.
