TO: | Honorable Robert Puente, Chair, House Committee on Natural Resources |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB3979 by Laubenberg (Relating to the creation of the McKinney Municipal Utility Districts Nos. 1 and 2; providing authority to impose a tax and issue bonds; granting the power of eminent domain.), As Introduced |
1) Population - The detailed description of the proposed boundaries does not allow staff to develop precise population estimates. The 2000 Census population of Collin County was 491,774, with 6,149 living in areas identified in the 2007 State Water Plan as “County-Other” (outside cities of more than 500 and established water utility districts). The total county population is projected to increase to 1,033,173 by 2020, the County-Other population is projected to be 5,981.
2) Location - The district is located within Collin County.
3) Comments on Powers/Duties Different from Similar Types of Districts- The Districts will have road powers. The Districts may be divided into multiple districts. If the Districts have not been confirmed before September 1, 2011, then the Districts are dissolved on September 1, 2011.
4) Overlapping Services- The stated boundaries for McKinney MUD No. 1’s Tract B & Save and Except form a closure. The stated boundaries for McKinney MUD No. 1’s Tract A and McKinney MUD No. 2’s Tracts A & B do not form a closure. An area map containing at least two reference points (major road names, road intersections) and the proposed Districts’ geographic location mapped within Collin County are needed to complete overlapping services checks. McKinney MUD No. 1’s Tracts A & B may overlap: CCN No. 11035: North Collin Water Supply Corporation and CCN No. 10194: City of McKinney. McKinney MUD No. 2’s Tracts A & B may overlap: CCN No. 11035: North Collin Water Supply Corporation, and CCN No. 10194: City of McKinney.
5) TCEQ's Supervision- As with general law districts, the TCEQ will have general supervisory authority over these Districts, including bond review authority and review of financial reports.
6) Water Use - 97 percent of Collin County water use in 2004 was for municipal purposes. 96 percent of the total water use comes from surface water sources.
