1. The Board reviewed the minutes of the meeting held on July 9, 2020.

Upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the Board approved the minutes as

presented.

2. The President requested whether there were any public comments

3. Ms. Hall presented the tax assessor-collector’s report, copy attached,

which showed 99.1% collections for 2019 taxes and current certified taxable value in the District

of $138,481,583. Upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the Board

approved the tax assessor-collector’s report and payment of the checks listed thereon.

4. The Board addressed a proposed Resolution concerning the District’s

2020 tax rate. However, the attorney pointed out that in light of no 2020 certified values from

Harris County Appraisal District the action would not be taken at this time but would be carried

forward for the September agenda. He noted a memorandum form the law firm in the directors’

meeting packets addressing new procedures for considering and setting tax rates this year and

going forward.

5. Ms. Landreville presented the bookkeeper’s report, copy attached. The

Board reviewed and approved the investment report and noted the energy usage report. Subject

to that discussion, upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the Board

approved the bookkeeper’s report and the checks listed thereon. The Board discussed the

required review of the District’s investments in compliance with Senate Bill 253. The Board

requested that the District’s bookkeeper and investment officer review the list promulgated by

the State Comptroller and monitor it periodically to prevent violations of Senate Bill 253.

6. Mr. Stuckey approached the Board to discuss his recent correspondence

concerning addressing a significant sink hole in the District. He provided a proposal in the

amount of $9,624.73 which was recommended by the engineer. After a review and discussion

the Board thanked Mr. Stuckey for his work and approved the proposal with the understanding

that Mr. Bordelon or his office would be on site from time-to-time to review the work as it

proceeds. The new gate to the District’s property from the Rolling Fork sewage treatment plant

site has been installed, and Stuckey’s will now prepare a proposal for clearing and maintaining

the area.

7. Mr. Rambo approached the Board to review the District’s audit for the

fiscal year ended April 30, 2020. He stated he was providing a clean, unmodified opinion and

noted with pleasure continued increase in fund balances. After a discussion and review the

Board unanimously approved the audit and authorized its filing with all appropriate entities.

4

91261.002 491727v1 3

8. The Board addressed the District’s Investment Policy which it had

previously reviewed and after a brief discussion unanimously approved the attached Resolution

approving and affirming the existing Investment Policy as well as a list of qualified brokers.

9. The attorney stated that his office would complete the annual continuing

disclosure filing required with respect to outstanding District bonds. He also advised that his

office and the operator were coordinating on a review of fees set forth in the District’s Rate

Order, copies of which had been provided to all Board members. Consideration of the Rate

Order and possible amendment would be placed on the September agenda. The Board also

conducted its annual review of the District’s Code of Ethics and after a full discussion agreed

that no changes were appropriate or in order at this time.

10. The Board noted receipt of the annual arbitrage analysis with respect to

outstanding District bonds and the conclusion that no action was required of the District at this

time. Mr. Wright then presented the operations report, copy attached, which showed 484

connections with 98.8% water accountability. Three bacteriological tests had been performed,

all with good results. No excursion had occurred at the Rolling Fork joint sewage treatment

plant, which had operated at 42% of capacity. The operator then submitted a list delinquent

accounts to the Board for termination of utility service and stated that the accounts in question

had been given written notification of the opportunity to appear, either in person or in writing, at

the Board meeting to contest, explain, or correct the charges, services, or disconnection. The

operator noted that the accounts listed had neither attended the Board meeting nor contacted the

operator’s office or the District to contest or explain the charges. After discussion, upon motion

duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the Board authorized the District’s operator to

proceed with termination of utility service to said accounts pursuant to the provisions of the

District’s Rate Order.

11. Mr. Bordelon presented the engineer’s report, copy attached. The sanitary

sewer rehabilitation project was substantially complete on August 4, and most of the punch list

items had been accomplished. Accordingly, on the engineer’s recommendation the Board

approved Pay Estimate No. 1 and final as well as change order No. 1. The final payment was in

the amount of $64,965, and the bookkeeper agreed to hold the check pending confirmation by

5

91261.002 491727v1 4

the engineer that all work had been complete. Mr. Bordelon stated that design work continues on

the rehabilitation project for the joint sewage treatment plant.

12. With respect to other matters President Whitaker noted that the Board

would likely approve a contract for clearing the District’s reserve adjacent to the sewage

treatment plant site at its September meeting. He also stated that progress had been made with

respect to communication with the attorneys for Comcast, and he hoped to have more specific

information available at the September meeting.

There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was

adjourned.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Municipal Utility District Clients

FROM: Smith, Murdaugh, Little & Bonham, L.L.P.

RE: Senate Bill 2; Texas Property Tax Reform and Transparency Act of 2019

DATE: August 4, 2020=====================================================================

For many years the District has been required to calculate the “effective tax rate” and the“rollback tax rate” based on the value of the average homestead in the District. If the District seta tax rate in excess of 1.08 times the effective tax rate, the District would be subject to a petitionrequiring a rollback election. If the election passed, the District’s operation and maintenance taxrate would be rolled back to 1.08 times the previous year’s maintenance tax rate.

Senate Bill 2 became effective January 1, 2020. In 2020, calculations similar to theeffective tax rate and rollback tax rate calculations will be performed, but the rates will bereferred to as the “voter-approval rate,” “mandatory tax election rate” and “unused incrementrate1”. The calculations are essentially the same as in previous years but the limitations havechanged and exceeding the limitations may result in an automatic election without the necessityof a petition, depending on which of three categories the District falls into. The following are thethree categories established by the legislature:

a) LOW TAX RATE DISTRICTS (TWC 49.23601) are districts that levy amaintenance tax of 2.5 cents or less. Low Tax Rate Districts will continue to besubject to the 8% increase limit and if the limit is exceeded an election to approvethe tax rate as set is automatic. If the election fails, the maintenance tax ratewould be rolled back so that the total tax rate is equal to the voter-approval rate;

b) DEVELOPED DISTRICTS (TWC 49.23602) are districts that have financed,completed and issued bonds to pay for all land, works, improvements, facilities,plants, equipment and appliances necessary to serve at least 95% of the projectedbuild-out of the District. If a Developed District sets a total tax rate higher thanthe mandatory tax election rate increase limit of 3.5%, there will be an automatic

1 Per Texas Water Code §49.23602 (a) (3), “unused increment rate” has the meaning assigned by §26.013, TexasTax Code, which provides the definition and formula for calculation. In essence, the unused increment rate is thesum of the differences between the voter approval rate and the tax rate actually set for the preceding three years.However, under §26.013, the 2020 unused increment rate is $0.00.

10

90999-002 488761v1

election to approve the tax rate as set. If the election fails, the maintenance taxrate would be rolled back so that the total tax rate is equal to the voter-approvalrate; and

c) DEVELOPING DISTRICTS (TWC 49.23603) are districts that are not a Low TaxRate District or a Developed District. The tax rate increase limit remains 8% andexceeding the limit is subject to an election to approve the tax rate as set uponpetition of three percent (3%) or more of the qualified voters in the District. If apetition is received and the election fails, the maintenance tax rate would be rolledback so that the total tax rate is equal to the voter-approval rate.

There is a provision that gives some relief if all or a portion of a Developed District is ina declared disaster area. Specifically, §49.23602 (d) of the Water Code provides that if any partof a Developed District is located in an area declared a disaster during the current tax year, theDistrict’s board may utilize the Low Tax Rate District provisions (8% increase limit) to calculatethe voter-approval tax rate, determine whether an election is required, and give the notice of theDistrict’s tax rate hearing. If the District adopts a combined tax rate that would impose more than8% of the amount of tax imposed in the previous year on a residence homestead, there will be anautomatic election on whether to approve the adopted tax rate. If the election fails, themaintenance tax rate would be rolled back so that the total tax rate is equal to the voter-approvalrate (8% increase limit).

RE: 2020 TAX RATE RECOMMENDATION

Dear Board Members:

The following recommendation is based upon the 2020 assessed valuation of the District ascertified by the Harris County Central Appraisal District and assumes a total tax rate of $0.49 per$100 of assessed valuation and a collection rate of 95%.

We feel that the District can reasonably project its Debt Service Fund operations in 2021 in thismanner and we recommend that the District levy a tax rate of $0.13 for debt service for the taxyear 2020.

Maintenance taxes are levied at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the District. We estimatethat a maintenance tax rate of $0.36 per $100 of assessed valuation would produce $475,924 at95% collections.

Sincerely yours,RBC CAPITAL MARKETS, LLCFinancial Advisor to the District

From: Shane Stuckey [mailto:[email protected]]Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2020 8:57 PMTo: 'Brady Whitaker'; 'larry goldberg'Cc: Jim Murdaugh; 'Emory Milton Dooley, Jr.'; 'Jason VanLoo'; [email protected]; 'Jack Flores';'Shamal A. Peets'; 'Troy Bordelon'; 'Dillon Fulvio'Subject: Waterfall Repairs

All,Last week we started making the repairs along pond near waterfall and we quickly found out that thesinkhole was not running under the large pine trees as originally expected. We therefore withheld fromcutting these trees and starting working the voids backwards to follow there path. A lot of voids werediscovered all around the waterfall structure. We worked with A&S and decide it was best to have boardopinion of the proposed changes . I reached out to Brady/Larry to visit the site and confirm they were okwith changes we felt best. Larry was tied up, but Brady was able to visit.

With Brady’s blessing & oversight form A&S we proceeded with new plans and have successfully openedthe voids and followed them every which way. We saved the large trees but took out a grouping of someothers nearby. We asked Uretek out to the site and original estimate was close to 20k for them to fill allareas surrounding waterfall. I was able to stay onsite with the crew and get them started withsignificantly confined excavation very close to the waterfall feature (We moved some surrounding rocksto accomplish this). With us able to excavate so closely to the structure, we asked Uretek back out forrevised estimate and was able to get their pricing down to $8K (Estimated materials).

A rough sketch on google earth is attached to show all the different directions we were able to followthe voids and where we have excavated. We identified significant root blockage in one of the waterfallpipes and some piping which was duck taped & covered in concrete. Some of these voids could havebeen present for past few years and just not visible or the pipe was leaking or both. We feel these issuesaround waterfall were traversing back towards our installed CMP and causing a majority of these issues.(There was also a larger steel pipe ~ Approx.. 18” ~ which neither A&S or us know what it holds but isestimated to be from previous years when drill site or related activity was present and was covered up.

We tried receiving stabilized material on Saturday but was unable due to (4) nearby plants all beingclosed. We chose to cover as many of the open holes as possible with exception of directly aroundwaterfall - reason of: 1) Maintain safe area for pedestrians. & 2) Not have too much exposed with thehurricane approaching.

Dry conditions prevailed through the weekend and first thing Monday we were onsite receivingstabilized and re-excavating the areas we had previously covered. All of the voids have now beenstabilized form lower limits and filled with 2’-3’ of CSS and then covered with native soils. The CMP pipehas also been excavated along upper side and at top of structure and replaced with new CSS. The pipefeeding waterfall structure have been properly connected and we are nearly closed up with the majorconstruction around the project.

We have asked Uretek to place us on there schedule at earliest availability to finish securing portionsdirectly under the waterfall where we cannot safely excavate any further. They have pulled some stringsand have us moved up for service to be performed on Sept 4th (Weather Permitting)

We will also return to site to import sod for areas needed and add new granite to walkway as neededand hopefully close this out by next week.

We will intentionally leave a small stock pile of soils away from the trails where there is extra spacealong backslope swale. These soils can readily be accessed in 1-2 months to help fill any remainingsettlement which may occur following some rainfall.

We thank you for your continued trust in our services for the district - If there are any concerns /questions regarding the changes which have occurred, please feel free to reach out to me directly. I willbe happy to give any additional details requested. A new Dropbox folder will be shared showingnumerous photos at various stages of the project for further accountability of our work and findings.

Best Regards,
