Purchasing Language: Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: N/A N/A N/A  Pilot Knob Municipal Utility District No. 2 (the “District”), a political subdivision of the State of Texas, was created under the laws of the State of Texas by House Bill No. 1756, Acts of the 82nd Texas Legislature, Regular Session (2011), Chapter 8376, Subtitle F, Title 6, Texas Special District Local Laws Code (the “Enabling Legislation”), and operates under Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code. The Enabling Legislation became effective May 23, 2011, and created the District, subject to the consent of the City of Austin (the “City”) to the creation. The City consented to the creation of the District by Council action taken March 22, 2012 (the “Consent Ordinance”) and under the terms of the Consent Agreement between the City, the District, and Carma Easton LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Developer”) dated effective as of April 13, 2012 (the “Consent Agreement”). The City and the District entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement dated as of June 5, 2012 (as amended, the “SPA”), as authorized by Section 43.0751, Texas Local Government Code, which sets forth the terms and conditions of the City’s annexation of the land within the District and on which the District will continue to exist as a limited district, Pilot Knob Limited District No. 2 (the “Limited District”), in accordance with Section 43.0751, Texas Local Government Code, and the Enabling Legislation following the City’s full-purpose annexation of the land within the District as provided in Consent Agreement and the SPA. The District, which currently contains 557.187 acres of land, is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City in southeast Travis County, Texas. The District is located approximately eight miles southeast of the downtown portion of the City, adjacent to the east side of McKinney Falls Parkway and approximately one mile west of U.S. Highway 183. An extension of William Cannon Drive bisects the District in an east-west direction. Cottonmouth Creek traverses the District in a north-south direction. The Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is located approximately four miles to the northeast of the District. The District is required to obtain City approval for all bond sales pursuant to the Consent Agreement. The City has received a request from the District to approve the District’s bond sale in the amount of $3.5 million for the Water, Wastewater and Drainage proposition. After the proposed bond issue, approximately $145.6 million in authorized but unissued bonds will remain in this proposition, with an additional approximately $9.0 million unissued for the Recreational proposition, and approximately $62.2 million unissued for the Road proposition. The proceeds from the proposed bond sale will fund the District’s share of Easton Park Section 2A and 2B Phases 1 – 3 36 inch waterline, a 30-inch wastewater interceptor for Phases 1A, 2A and 2B, the Cottonmouth Creek wastewater interceptor for Phases A and B, as well as various project and issuance costs. The City is the retail provider of water and wastewater service. The District bonds are the sole obligation of the District until the City full purpose annexes the District. The first eligible date for the City to annex the District pursuant to the Consent Agreement is December 31, 2047.  City departmental staff from Austin Water, Parks and Recreation, Housing and Planning, and Watershed Protection reviewed the District’s Consent Agreement and its amendments. The District was found to be in compliance with the terms of the agreement. The City’s Financial Services Department and the City’s Financial Advisor have reviewed the District’s proposed bond sale and recommend approval.
