House Bill No. [insert 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 bill outlines the district's boundaries, which include areas within I-10 West, North Branch Ward Creek, and South Essen Heights, and specifies its purpose to enhance drainage and sewer systems, as well as overall district improvement. 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. The board will operate without compensation but can be reimbursed for certain expenses.

Additionally, the bill grants the district the authority to impose a parcel fee on property owners within its boundaries, contingent upon voter approval. The fee, which cannot exceed $300 per parcel annually, will be used to fund district improvements and can be renewed every twenty years. The district will also be allowed to accept voluntary contributions and grants. 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 includes provisions for indemnification of board members and officers, ensuring they are protected from liability under certain conditions.
