PUBLIC COMMENT

The President opened the meeting to public comment.

Mrs. King addressed the Board regarding a wastewater backflow incident that occurred on April 26, 2026, at her property located on Walden Road, causing damage to the primary bedroom, closet and bathroom in the home on such property. Mrs. King stated that she engaged a plumber to inspect the wastewater lines in such home and was told that the backflow resulted from a stoppage within the District’s wastewater collection line at the rear of such property where such home’s line is connected. Mrs. King explained that she contacted Hays North and Mr. Wright coordinated inspection of the District’s wastewater line to identify and then subsequently have the District’s wastewater line cleared to resolve the backflow. Mrs. King explained that she subsequently filed a claim with her insurance company, which was denied.

Mrs. King stated that she then contacted the District’s insurance broker, Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, LLC (“Gallagher”) and filed a claim. Mrs. King voiced her concerns regarding the unresponsiveness of Gallagher and the delay in Gallagher’s efforts to resolve her claim. It was the consensus of the Board for the Operator and RAB to follow up with Gallagher regarding the status of Mrs. King’s claim and update the Board at the July 8, 2026 Board meeting.

Ms. Jimenez then addressed the Board regarding a wastewater backflow incident that occurred on April 19, 2026, at the home on her property located on Hemingway. Ms. Jimenez explained that such backflow caused damage throughout such home. Ms. Jimenez stated that she filed a claim with Gallagher and was assigned a field adjuster, who was able to conduct an inspection of the damage to such home. Mr. Wright reminded the Board that he reported this backflow at the May 13th Board meeting and explained that Hays North has been coordinating with Gallagher regarding Ms. Jimenez’s claim. Ms. Jimenez informed the Board that the claims adjuster assigned by Gallagher had not been providing sufficient updates and that she believed it was taking too long to process her claim. Ms. Jimenez went on to explain that the claim that she filed through her homeowner’s insurance policy only covered a portion of the cost of the repairs to her home. The Board then inquired about the status of Ms. Jimenez’s claim. In response to Ms. Jimenez’s comments, Mr. Roberts provided an update that RAB received from the above- mentioned adjuster and noted that RAB will continue to follow up on the status of both claims filed with Gallagher until such claims have been resolved. An extensive discussion ensued and it was at the consensus of the Board that RAB communicate directly with Gallagher to ensure that the above- mentioned claims are being processed by the insurers as quickly as possible.

There being no further comments, the President directed the Board to proceed with the agenda.

Mr. Geiselhart then provided an update on MUD 9’s recent activities and events. Mr. Geiselhart informed the Board that MUD 9 inquired about payments of insurance premiums for the shared plant facilities between the District and MUD 9 and how the obligations of such payments are separated. Mr. Geiselhart then updated the Board that MUD 9’s bookkeeper has reviewed prior insurance premium payments for the joint facilities to identify the payment history of the District and MUD 9’s issuance of payments. Mr. Miller stated that MAC prepared a spreadsheet that identifies that in the last five (5) years, the District has been invoicing MUD 9 for its share of such insurance premiums, but MUD 9 has not been invoicing the District for its share of the insurance premiums. Mr. Miller stated that the District owes MUD 9 approximately $30,000.00 related to the insurance premiums for the joint facilities. Mr. Barner recommended that the Bookkeeper, and representatives from the District and MUD 9, annually review the payments of the insurance premiums for the joint facilities, to ensure that each district is paying and invoicing to the other district its appropriate share of insurance premium payments. It was the consensus of the Board to review the Bookkeeper’s spreadsheet and determine the amount of unpaid insurance premium payments owed to MUD 9.
