Top 3 Key Takeaways

1. Investigation into Director Bird's Water Use Concluded Without Definitive Findings

An independent engineering investigation by Four Creeks into Director Larry Bird's water usage on properties with land both inside and outside the district boundaries produced inconclusive results. The water balance assessment found that groundwater pumping appeared insufficient to meet irrigation requirements for the 96 acres outside MID boundaries, but the investigation could not definitively determine whether MID surface water was used on out-of-district land. Director Frobos motioned for a second phase investigation led by an attorney to assess witness credibility and additional evidence, but this motion failed 2‑2, so no additional attorney‑led investigation was authorized.
