Commission approves creation of Williamson County MUD No. 69 and appoints temporary directors
Summary
TCEQ found the petition to create Williamson County Municipal Utility District No. 69 satisfied statutory criteria, denied Williamson County's hearing request, granted road powers, and appointed five temporary directors to serve until elections are held.
The commission voted to grant the petition to create Williamson County Municipal Utility District No. 69, deny the county’s hearing request, and approve the district’s request for road powers.
Commissioners reviewed the 'affected person' standard for governmental hearing requestors and concluded Williamson County had not sufficiently alleged a personal, justiciable interest tied to the petition. Commissioner Tonya Miller moved the adoption of the petition findings, including the statutory finding of feasibility and benefit to the land to be included in the district. The motion named five temporary directors — Chad Burnett, Allison Grottsinger, Karen Montgomery, Richard Romero, and Elizabeth Zorn — to serve until permanent directors are elected and qualified. The motion passed on a voice vote of commissioners present.
The commission cited Texas Water Code section 54.234 in discussing road powers and noted the same legal framework used in recent district creation matters.
