Pending Business ____________________________________ Jennifer B. Seipel Attorney for the District 91261-002 596806.1 ANNUAL NOTICE IN COMPLIANCE WITH TEXAS WATER CODE SECTION 49.063(c) After at least 50 qualified electors are residing in a district, on written request of at least five of those electors, the board shall designate a meeting place and hold meetings within the district. If no suitable meeting place exists inside the district, the board may designate a meeting place outside the district that is located not further than 10 miles from the boundary of the district. On the failure of the board to designate the location of the meeting place within the district or not further than 10 miles from the boundary of the district, five electors may petition the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“Commission”) to designate a location. If it determines that the meeting place used by the district deprives the residents of a reasonable opportunity to attend district meetings, the Commission shall designate a meeting place inside or outside the district which is reasonably available to the public and require that the meetings be held at such place. The Commission shall make such a determination not later than the 60th day after receiving the petition. After holding a meeting at a place designated by the district’s board or by the Commission after a request is made to either the board or the Commission by five electors, the district’s board may hold a hearing on the designation of a different meeting place, including a meeting place outside of the district. The board may hold meetings at the designated meeting place if, at the hearing, the board determines that the new meeting place is beneficial to the district and will not deprive the residents of the district of a reasonable opportunity to attend meetings.
