Caption

Relating to the boundaries of the Harris County Fresh Water Supply District No. 58.

Impact

The exclusion of the specified land could have various implications for local governance and infrastructure services in the region. By modifying the boundaries, the bill may affect how resources are allocated and managed from a district perspective, impacting water supply services and potentially altering tax obligations for property owners in the excluded area. The district retains the right to levy taxes on the excluded property until the property’s share of the district's indebtedness is paid off.

Summary

House Bill 4200 relates to the boundaries of the Harris County Fresh Water Supply District No. 58. The primary purpose of the bill is to exclude a specific parcel of land, measuring 138.03 acres, from the boundaries of the district. This exclusion is significant as it modifies the operational scope of the Fresh Water Supply District, which is responsible for providing water resources and managing public works associated with water supply in the areas it serves.

Contention

One notable point of contention surrounding HB 4200 pertains to the rights of bondholders. The bill asserts that the rights of these bondholders will remain intact despite the exclusion of property from the district. This provision aims to protect financial commitments related to previously issued bonds that fund water supply infrastructure. Some stakeholders may question how the exclusion could affect the district's financial health and its ability to maintain or improve infrastructure services for other constituents within the district after the exclusion of this property.
