Director Kucera seconded the motion. Motion carried. Update on the Expansion of LNRA’s West Delivery System Pump Station Brzozowski briefed the Board as follows: Freese and Nichols (FNI) has prepared bidding documents to source the identified long lead items for the expansion project. This includes a Variable Frequency Drive rated for a 2,000 HP motor and associated Switchgear. Sealed bids are due Thursday, March 12, 2026. FNI’s recommendation will be received shortly thereafter. It is our plan to present the recommendation of award at the March Board meeting. FNI continues to develop plans for the construction of the expansion project to include the building expansion, remaining electrical components, HVAC, and site work. Update on the Dam Safety Remediation Project Zachry Construction was onsite completing a geotechnical investigation to satisfy the contract requirement to verify the engineers’ findings. These samples will also be used to formulate DeWind’s mix designed for the cutoff wall. We expect to see results early March. DeWind is requesting to construct a 5,000 square foot staging area between station 207+00 and 208+00. This staging area will be just off the pavement to facilitate the assembly of the large trencher. Our dam safety engineer is currently reviewing this request for potential affects to the structure. LNRA is working with our dam safety engineer to source extra equipment and materials to have onsite before trenching operations commence as an extra precaution to manage and address an unanticipated anomaly. Update on the Lake Texana Yield Enhancement Project There has been no news or updates from TCEQ. Legal counsel has reviewed the list of individuals who have claimed affected party status to identify those who may have status in the coming process. Update on Proposed Recreation Development on LNRA Property Open Session February 18, 2026 Page 5 The development proposer has been busy meeting with potential investors and others to determine the best approach for their proposal. Most recently, there seems to be interest by a few investors to merge one of the golf courses with a housing development, not located on LNRA property. Also, there has been some discussion of a third private course completely contained within the “development”. Patrick Brzozowski told the Board that he has engaged a real estate appraiser, Kyle Schroeder, from San Antonio. Kyle has done work for LNRA in prior years through our relationship with Bickerstaff on a pipeline issue. Deliverables are expected before April.

Director Johs moved to approve an annual salary increase of 3% and to award a bonus to the General Manager from the fiscal year 2026 budgeted performance incentive of $20,000. Director Johs stated that the Board’s decisions were based on the following positive evaluation: Patrick Brzozowski’s performance in leading the Lavaca- Navidad River Authority in 2025 continued to be exemplary. Mr. Brzozowski remained vigilant in measuring and mitigating potential risks related to the ongoing Dam Remediation Project. He continued the effort to move the l ong-term Yield Enhancement Project forward. He also worked tirelessly to initiate improvements in existing recreational facilities. Additionally, excellent leadership skills were required in navigating the promotion of current employees to fill positions recently vacated due to retirement of key management staff, and he executed flawlessly. Because of Mr. Brzozowski’s dedication to the General Manager role, the Lavaca-Navidad River Authority continues to be a model for good stewardship in the community.
