House Bill 4085 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to create the Triple Creek Municipal Management District in portions of Kaufman and Rockwall Counties, subject to voter approval at a confirmation election. The bill grants the district powers beyond those of a municipal management district, including the powers of a municipal utility district, road district, road utility district, and Section 4B development corporation as well as certain powers applicable to a municipality or county under the Public Improvement District Assessment Act, and authorizes the district to undertake related improvement projects. Certain of its powers are subject to controls by the City of McLendon-Chisholm. Among other controls, improvement projects on the city's streets, highways, rights-of-way, or easements require the city's consent, and the imposition of maintenance and operation taxes or the issuance of ad valorem tax bonds require approval by both the city and the district's voters. The district may not impose an impact fee on the property of a public utility provider in the district, and an impact fee for residential property must be for the limited purpose of providing capital funding for public water and wastewater facilities, drainage and storm-water facilities, and streets and alleys.
