House Bill No. [insert bill number] proposes the creation of the Cypress Point Improvement District in East Baton Rouge Parish, establishing it as a political subdivision of the state. The district will encompass specific boundaries defined by I-10 West, North Branch Ward Creek, and South Essen Heights, including municipal addresses on East Cypress Point Court. The primary purpose of the district is to enhance drainage and sewer systems and improve the overall quality of the area. Governance will be provided by a seven-member board of commissioners, with members appointed by the Cypress Point Homeowners Association, local legislative representatives, and the parish assessor. Board members must reside within the district and are to serve without compensation, although they can be reimbursed for certain expenses.

The bill also grants the district the authority to impose a parcel fee, subject to voter approval, to fund its activities. This fee will apply to both improved and unimproved parcels within the district, with a maximum limit of $300 per year. The fee can be renewed every twenty years and may be increased once without an election after five years. Additionally, the district can accept voluntary contributions and grants to support its objectives. In the event of the district's dissolution, any remaining funds will be transferred to the governing authority of East Baton Rouge Parish for beautification and improvements in the area. The bill outlines various powers and duties of the district, including the ability to enter contracts, maintain liability insurance, and adopt an annual budget.
