Overview

The Board designated the tax assessor as its agent to issue Notices to Purchasers for a fee not to exceed $10 and authorized an updated District Registration Form reflecting the new tax assessor/collector. It awarded the Dunham Pointe Section 18 paving contract to Beyer Construction, LLC for $794,582.60 and the Section 26 water, sanitary sewer, and drainage contract to Unitas Construction, Inc. for $896,577.77. The Board approved four final pay estimates and accepted two easements for Section 26. The engineer reviewed a summary of costs for road bond application no. 2.

Questions to check (4)

A construction contract was awarded. Competitive bidding (Water Code §49.273) and a certificate of interested parties for contracts that need board approval (Gov't Code §2252.908, Form 1295).
Records that would answer it: the bid tabulation and the number of bids received for Dunham Pointe Section 18 paving; the signed contract for Dunham Pointe Section 18 paving; the contractor's Form 1295 certificate of interested parties; the bid tabulation and the number of bids received for Dunham Pointe Section 26 water, sanitary sewer and drainage; the signed contract for Dunham Pointe Section 26 water, sanitary sewer and drainage.
Pay estimates were approved. Each payment should match work completed and inspected. Good practice: compare the cumulative amount paid with the contract.
Records that would answer it: the pay estimate for Dunham Pointe Section 19 water, sanitary sewer and drainage, with quantities and the engineer's certification; the pay estimate for Dunham Pointe Section 19 paving, with quantities and the engineer's certification; the pay estimate for Dunham Pointe Section 22 water, sanitary sewer and drainage, with quantities and the engineer's certification; the pay estimate for Dunham Pointe Section 22 paving, with quantities and the engineer's certification.
Bills were approved for payment. The check register shows who was paid and how much, including professional fees.
Records that would answer it: the bookkeeper's report and check register for the meeting, with invoices for professional fees over $5,000.
Land, easements or the district's boundary were acted on. Boundary changes and land transfers affect who pays for what (Water Code §§49.301-49.304).
Records that would answer it: the instruments, petitions and maps for Section 26; any engineer's report on the change.

Overviews and questions were drafted with AI from each document's text, with page references, and checked against the minutes and financial records. They are starting points to confirm, not findings.

Review checklist: Approved minutes

Each check names the rule it tests, as the text stood on 2026-04-21, and the record that settles it. This record is itself an approving original (the board's own act). "Question" means the record on file doesn't show the rule was followed: a question to confirm, not a finding.
