Overview

Notice of the regular meeting on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. (Suite 2500, Boone Conference Room). It includes the tax-rate public hearing and Order Levying Taxes (item 8), approval of offering documents for the Series 2025A and 2025B bonds (item 4), and the AWBD bylaws vote. The minutes show the Board adopted a 2025 total rate of $1.35 per $100 and scheduled the bond sale for November 18, 2025.

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, October 18, 2025, 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 15, 2025) 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 21, 2025 meeting notice, showing date and time posted.

The tax-rate hearing item (item 8) doesn't state the proposed rate; residents would need the separately published hearing notice (the September 16, 2025 minutes show a proposed total rate of $1.35 per $100). (p. 1) Good practice: tax-rate adoption is a matter of special public interest. The rate notice and hearing themselves 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 2025 tax-rate public hearing; Order Levying Taxes for 2025.

Review checklist: Agendas and posting certificates

Each check names the rule it tests, as the text stood on 2025-10-21, 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.
