2 Directors Needed: Road Improvement District #1
Harris County Road Improvement District #1 has been operating with 4 Directors out of 5. But now they are down to 3!

In the vicinity of the border between Houston and Friendswood in Harris County lies the coverage of Harris County Road Improvement District #1. They need people to volunteer to serve on the Board of Directors (see email below). This is a Special Utility District that has an Ad Valorem tax rate of 0.2935, outstanding bonds, gross receipts in excess of $250,000, and cash and temporary investments in excess of $250,000 [Reference 1].
To serve as a Director, you need to live in the coverage area. To find out, Reference [2] takes you to the Harris County Tax Assessor's website's Voter Precinct Street Guide. After entering your address, you click on the "info" link (just above the "map" link on the right) to see if "HARRIS CO ROAD IMPROVEMENT DIST 1" is a district within which you reside.
Once you determine that you're in the District, contact the District's lawyer for the next steps (see email below). Reference [1] also has her phone number if you'd prefer to simply call. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

Good afternoon,

There will not be an election this
May, their elections are held in even years. There are currently two
director positions open for the District. If you have any other
questions please let me know.
Thanks,

Subject: Question: Harris County Road Improvement District #1
Dear Ms. Maher,
I
noticed that one of the Directors at Harris County Road Improvement
District #1 is no longer there, Mr. William Edwards. I have two
questions:
(1) Is there going to be an election on the May ballot for a
replacement? (2) How many Directors positions are there for the
District?
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
