FINDINGS.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) If the commissioners court or the board finds that the improvements would be feasible and practicable and would be a public benefit and utility and approves the boundaries as set out in the petition, it shall compute the amount of money necessary for the improvements and all incidental expenses and shall determine whether to issue bonds for the full amount or for a smaller amount in the first instance.
(b) The commissioners court or the board shall specify:
(1) the amount of bonds to be issued;
(2) the length of time the bonds will run; and
(3) the rate of interest.
(c) The findings and specifications together with a map of the district shall be recorded in the minutes of the commissioners court or the board.
(d) If the commissioners court or the board does not approve the proposed boundaries of the district, it shall define the boundaries it considers correct. Before any change is made in the boundaries of the proposed district, notice shall be given and a hearing held as provided in Sections 62.027 and 62.028 of this code.
(e) If the commissioners court or the board finds that the improvements are unnecessary and would not be practicable or feasible and would not be a public benefit or utility, it shall enter these findings in the minutes and shall dismiss the petition at the cost of the petitioners. However, the dismissal of a petition does not prevent or conclude the presentation of a similar petition at a later date.
