Discussion and possible action on a funding request for Texas Water Development (TWDB)

Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

Discussion and possible action on a funding request for Texas Water Development (TWDB) “Development of Treatment, Monitoring and implementation Protocols for Direct Potable Reuse Projects in Texas” participation. A motion was made by Stephen A. Boykin, given that conservation is one, if not the most important, goal of the District and this direct potable reuse project in Texas participation is definitely a promising effort in the way of a contribution of $20,000.00, and if we don’t have the funds available that the District will amend the budget to make the contribution, second by Kent Watson. The motion passed unanimously.

This motion is scored as RESTRAINS_GOVERNMENT (Impact Weight: 4.8/10). Under the Bastiat Liberty Watchdog Index, voting YES on measures that cap or reduce ad valorem tax burdens, expand taxpayer exemptions, retire debt early, enforce competitive bidding caps, or remove regulatory/zoning barriers to private property rights earns a positive Pro-Liberty score.
