Overview

The Board approved the developer reimbursement report for the Series 2025A and 2025B bonds and authorized disbursement of bond proceeds. It deferred utility service terminations for December and authorized the operator to ask the TCEQ to approve an online system for backflow and inspection records. The Board approved a $80,500.49 pay estimate for Section 19 paving and accepted a Waiver of Special Appraisal from Dunham Pointe covering 121 acres. The roll lists all five directors, but the minutes record Director Dawson as absent for the early votes and joining the meeting during the operations item.

Questions to check (3)

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 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.

A bond action was taken. Developer reimbursements follow TCEQ's rules on interest, land and proof of payment (30 TAC §§293.50, 293.51, 293.70).

Records that would answer it: the bond documents approved at the meeting; the auditor's developer reimbursement report, if approved; the financial advisor's recommendation and the bid tabulation, if bonds were sold.

Questions to confirm, not findings.

Review checklist: Approved minutes

Each check names the rule it tests, as the text stood on 2025-12-16, 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.
