🔁 Renaming the MUD District
The Board considered a proposal to change the district’s name from Collin County MUD No. 1 to Light Farms MUD. After discussion, the motion failed on a 2–2 vote.
⸻
🌿 Landscaping Ownership Exploration
The Board approved granting President Moyer the authority to begin discussions with the Light Farms HOA regarding the ownership and management of common areas. The purpose of these conversations is to explore the possibility of the MUD assuming responsibility for parks and common spaces, creating a single point of accountability for landscaping across the neighborhood.
Consolidating services under one provider could help streamline maintenance and reduce overlap between the District and the HOA’s current contractor in Gold and Woodlake. Another goal of this initiative is to evaluate opportunities to enhance pocket parks and neighborhood green spaces, which includes the potential to upgrade or add playgrounds.
⸻
