BILL ANALYSIS
Senate Research Center H.B. 2906
81R8571 SGA-F By: Kuempel (Wentworth)
AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT
The Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority (CCMA) has provided wholesale sewer service in the area between San Antonio and New Braunfels in parts of Guadalupe, Bexar, and Comal counties since 1971. For many years, CCMA has provided sewer service both within its boundaries and in areas outside of its boundaries through long-term contracts with several cities. The new areas that are presently outside CCMA’s boundaries include territory within the jurisdiction or service areas of the cities of Live Oak, Schertz, and Cibolo, which have passed resolutions in support of inclusion of this new territory within CCMA's boundaries. The boundary expansion will provide those residents with the opportunity to vote in CCMA elections and to have representation on the board of directors of CCMA.
H.B. 2906 relates to the expansion of the boundaries of CCMA.
