o All Trophy Club properties now fall within TCMUD boundaries.
o Residents previously under PID assessment now pay TCMUD property
taxes (tax-deductible).

and tax equity.
• Service Reallocation Goals:
o Full transfer of Town's public water system to TCMUD.
o Full transition of fire services to the Town.
o Streamline operations and reduce inter-agency complexity.
• Election Discussion:
o TCMUD requested a non-binding referendum in May 2025.
o The Town clarified that only binding referenda are allowed under state law.
o The Town proposed coordinated binding elections in November 2025.
o TCMUD declined the Town's proposal, pausing further progress on service
reallocation.
• Current Status
o Boundary Expansion is Complete.
o Service Transfer is Paused pending further initiative from TCMUD directors.
• Interlocal Agreement Concerns
o The ILA outlines shared funding for personnel and service costs, but the
District has no capital funding mechanisms in its current budget.
o The Town continues to subsidize certain expenses and seeks clarity on the
District's long-term funding strategy.
• Collaboration Needs
o The Town emphasized the need for continued joint planning to address fire
station infrastructure, equipment replacements, water system ownership
transition, and alignment on staffing and funding obligations.
o The Town is ready and willing to proceed with water system and fire service
transfers when TCMUD is ready.
• Next Steps
o A joint workshop with the TCMUD is planned for June 2025
o Key topics include capital funding commitments, fire department staffing
agreements, and future funding mechanisms.
