BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The operations and business of MUD 127 are managed through a Board of Directors. There are five directors who serve four-year terms. Individuals may initially be appointed to fill a vacancy, but upon completion of a term must stand for election. Effective dates of terms are staggered, and elections are held in even years, generally in November.
The Board is responsible for securing the services of a water system operator, a district engineer, a bookkeeper, solid waste disposal contractor, financial advisor, tax assessor/collector, and other service providers as needed. The Board also sets the MUD’s property tax rate each year.
MUD Directors must be at least 18 years old, a resident citizen of the State of Texas, and either own land subject to taxation in the district or be a qualified voter within the district. Each director receives a “fee of office” for the time that s/he actively engages in the business of the district up to a maximum allowed by state law. As of February 2025, the following five directors meet those qualifications and are serving on the Board:
- President – Maureen Herzog (November 8, 2022 – November 3, 2026)
- Vice President – Mike Harvey ( November 5, 2024 – November 7, 2028 )
- Secretary – Katrina Ortega ( November 5, 2024 – November 7, 2028 )
- Assistant Secretary – Brenda Lynch ( January 13, 2025 – November 7, 2028)
- Assistant Secretary – Donna Finkbeiner ( April 14, 2025 – November 3, 2026)
