Pursuant to Section 2254.1036, Texas Government Code, this notice shall act as written notice to the public stating: (i) The District will pursue the issuance of bonds, notes, or other financial obligations of the District to finance capital improvements in the District, as authorized under Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code. The desired outcome from pursuing this matter is the successful issuance of legal opinions that support the issuance of bonds, and if appropriate, the federal and tax-exempt status of the bonds, notes, or other financial obligations of the District necessary to finance capital improvements in the District; (ii) McCall is a competent, qualified, and experienced law firm comprised of attorneys with extensive expertise acting as disclosure counsel for various political subdivisions and fulfilling disclosure obligations at a reasonable and fair price; (iii) McCall has no current relationship with the District; (iv) Legal services, including disclosure counsel services, cannot be adequately performed by attorneys and supporting personnel of the District because the District does not employ any attorneys; (v) Legal services, including disclosure counsel services, cannot be reasonably obtained from attorneys in private practice under a contract providing for payment of hourly fees without contingency because of the nature of the matter for which the services will be obtained; and (vi) The District believes entering into a contingent fee contract for disclosure counsel services is in the best interest of the residents of the District because it provides for the payment of fees only if the bonds, notes, or other financial obligations of the District are successfully issued by the District.
