Overview
Notice of the regular meeting on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. (Suite 2500, Flex Room C). It includes the 2026 development-status resolution, a resolution on tax exemptions (item 8), assignment of the tax assessor/collector contracts, and annexation (the minutes show 61.74 acres added). Money items include construction awards, 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, February 14, 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 (February 11, 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 February 17, 2026 meeting notice, showing date and time posted.
Item 8 reads 'Adopt Resolution Concerning Exemptions from Taxation' without saying whether a residential homestead exemption would be granted; the minutes record that the Board rejected any homestead exemption for the 2026 tax year. (p. 1) Good practice: whether to offer an optional homestead exemption (Tax Code §11.13(n)) directly affects homeowners' tax bills, a matter of special public interest where AG guidance favors more specific notice (Gov't Code §551.041).
Records that would answer it: Resolution Concerning Exemptions from Taxation adopted February 17, 2026.

Review checklist: Agendas and posting certificates
Each check names the rule it tests, as the text stood on 2026-02-17, 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.
