AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT

The expansion of the Creedmoor Municipal Utility District (district) is necessary to accommodate the annexation of five additional tracts of land, totaling approximately 145 acres, within the corporate limits of the City of Mustang Ridge and the City of Creedmoor in Travis County. Currently, the district serves essential water, sewer, drainage, parks, and road infrastructure to the area but needs to officially redefine its boundaries to include the newly annexed land.

S.B. 3033 would redefine the boundaries of the district to reflect the annexation of these five tracts. The bill would ensure that the district can continue to provide infrastructure and services to the expanded area, supporting both residential and commercial development in the Willow Springs project.

S.B. 3033 would streamline the process of extending services to the newly annexed land, improving service delivery and facilitating growth in the area. The City of Creedmoor and the City of Mustang Ridge have both consented to the legislation, and there is no known opposition to this local bill.

This utilizes the municipal utility district "template" approved by and used in prior sessions by the House and Senate Committees Council.

Notice of intent was given on February 4, 2025.

As proposed, S.B. 3033 amends current law relating to the boundaries of, and validating certain acts and proceedings of, the Creedmoor Municipal Utility District.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, institution, or agency.
