Discussion as it relates to June Severe Weather Event.
Raul Sesin thanked all first responders and those who continue working. All precincts continue to evaluate damages and issues will continue to be addressed. Sesin disclosed they had about 15 inches of rain over in the Mission and McAllen area and another 15 inches in the Weslaco and Mercedes area in a two day period. The rest of the county reported about 8 to 10 inches of rain. Sesin described this rain event as of a hurricane proportions without the winds.
Board Member Joe Flores joined the meeting.
Further, the system is set to flood from west to east but with the heavy rains it took time to move. The Mission, McAllen, Weslaco, Mercedes, Donna, San Juan, Hidalgo, Progreso and Palmview are all main cities that flood to the IBWC flood way. Sesin informed that during the rain event all gates were opened, and they also kept in contact with the IBWC.
Sesin noted that they continue to work on various projects that would help with the flooding such as the Raymondville drain. At the moment they continued to work with other districts to manage water more efficiency and improve outfalls.
Board Member David Fuentes thanked all the departments involved in assisting during this rain event. He pointed out that most of these areas flood repeatedly, and urged coming up with an immediate solution. Fuentes disclosed that he and Commissioner Palacios continue to meet with state and federal representatives in seek of financial aid.
Board Member Joseph Palacios also encouraged the ongoing work to improve the systems, but added that residents need to be aware of the tremendous trash issues that affected systems.
Regarding the two comments under open forum, Sesin said he is aware of the issues in the Seminary area, however, that area is naturally low. Sesin disclosed that back in 2015 they built a temporary bypass channel in the northern and western side property. During this construction they determined that the area to the northwest is about 15 to 20 feet higher causing all that water to naturally shift down to the other side. The drainage director noted that during the pervious rain event this bypass channel was able to hold water, however because of the amount of water from this past rain event part of the channel irrorated.

Presentation of Hidalgo County Drainage District #1 2018 Debt Overview by Estrada, Hinojosa, Investment Bankers, Financial Advisors of the District.
Noe Hinojosa explained that the district has about $0.09 cents of property taxes to operate with, however it takes about $0.05 to operate the district and about $0.04 to pay its debts. The district's debt runs all the way to year 2033. Hinojosa reminded the board that back in 2012 they passed a bond referendum of over $184 million dollars selling only about $84 million and still have about $100 million that has not been sold. However, in order to sell the rest they'll have to meet certain binding resolutions associated on how the district would borrow the money. Nevertheless, Hinojosa noted that the district wishes to sustain the same tax rate, so if they were to borrow about $50 million this would not increase the tax rate. However, if they decide to raise the tax rate by about $0.001 the district would be able to borrow up to $120 million.
Hinojosa confirmed with Board Member Eduardo "Eddie" Cantu that even if they would want to borrow only $50 million the district would have to have an election. Additionally, projects could qualify for government refund of up to 75% and if so, they could reinvest that percentage back into the same project. Hinojosa advised that if the district wants to have a referendum for this fall, the last district meeting to call for a bond referendum is August 14.
According to Sesin, if they were to have a bond referendum he would address more than one project and not tied the money to one single project.
Cantu suggested laying out two option for the public to vote on, whether if they chose to keep the tax rate the same only borrow $50 million or increasing the tax rate by $0.01 and be able to borrow more than that. Sesin said that both options would be clear for the voters.
Board Members Palacios, Cantu and Fuentes concurred to proceed with the bond referendum for next fall.
