Director Dietert informed the Board of new regulations in regards to serving on the Board. Action on this was delayed until after information is received from the POA Board approving/not approving the Agreement. The Board also delayed the mail out soliciting Board candidates until after the POA meeting is held in April. This mail out will be by email and letter to all lot and homeowners.
  12. The next order of business to discuss monitoring plan-possible reconciliation with Horseshoe Bay.  Director Maughan stated that he had emailed Tommy Burton a couple of weeks ago and has not heard back from him so he filed a PIR with the TCEQ and they came back and said they did not have a copy of Horseshoe Bay’s monitoring plan on file. He emailed them back and asked if it was filed with LBJ MUD and they said no. He then filed a PIR with Horseshoe Bay for a copy of theirs. Jeff Koska sent me a copy of theirs but the monitoring locations were on an attachment that they didn’t email him. He has also emailed Jeff Koska and asked him for their sampling locations that they are using however he has not heard back from him at this time. Since our monitoring locations are different than Horseshoe Bay’s, we will need to file an amended plan.
  13. There were no other matters to come before the Board at this time.
  14. A tentative date for the next meeting was scheduled for April 20 at 4:30 P.M.

There being no further business to come before the Board a motion was made by Director Dietert and seconded by Director Maughan to adjourn, the motion carried unanimously.
