Overview
Notice of the regular meeting on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. It includes discussing the 2026 tax rate and setting its public hearing (item 6) and amending the Cost Sharing Agreement with HCID 13 (item 14). The minutes show a proposed 2026 total rate of $1.35 per $100 with the hearing set for October 20, 2026, the amended cost-sharing agreement approved, and the Section 28 paving contract awarded for $529,938.70 to the second-lowest of six bidders.
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, September 12, 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 (September 8, 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 September 15, 2026 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 2026-09-15, 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.
