Overview

Notice of the regular meeting on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. It covers renewal of the District's insurance, director conference expenses, a resolution on the District's development status for the 2025 tax year (which affects how the tax rate is set), and the usual construction awards, pay estimates and change orders. The minutes show a $1,099,548.20 Section 22 utilities award and a $64,759.50 change order on the Detention Pond AB project, both within listed items.

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, July 12, 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 (July 9, 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 July 15, 2025 meeting notice, showing date and time posted.

The minutes record the Board authorizing the engineer to prepare the park bond application, but the engineering item lists only 'update on bond application no. 4' (11.f) and 'other engineering matters'. (p. 2) Good practice and Gov't Code §551.041: this step led to the $8,000,000 Series 2025B recreational bonds sold in November 2025, a matter of special public interest that the agenda doesn't name.

Records that would answer it: July 2025 engineer's report; Park bond application (park bond application no. 1) as submitted.

Review checklist: Agendas and posting certificates

Each check names the rule it tests, as the text stood on 2025-07-15, 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.
