THAT WAS ÃÃI POSTED A LITTLE OVER 24 HOURS AGO.

AND THIS REFLECTS THE VIEWS OF THE CONCERNED RESIDENTS A TRADE SIDE PARK VILLAGE. ABOUT THE ONGOING TRAFFIC SITUATION AND DANGERS THAT WE FACE IN OUR VILLAGE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A COLLECTIVE VOICE FOR CONCERN AND DEMANDS FOR A CHANGE FOR THE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IN OUR VILLAGE SPECIFICALLY ALONG CARBONELL ROAD.

WE ARE TAXPAYING RESIDENTS OF THE BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE COMMUNITY. PLATINUM MARKETED AS PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY. ONCE A MAIN ROAD, WE NOW LIVE WITH THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE. BIFURCATING OUR COMMUNITY AND ACCESS TO THE WONDERFUL AMENITIES DESIGNED FOR USE BY THE RESIDENTS. INCLUDING MORE PARKS THAN ANY OTHER COLLEGE IN THE WOODLANDS. POOLS AND A MOVIE THEATER.

LONE STAR COLLEGE. EXCEPTIONAL FISHING PONDS, SPORTS COURTS, CHURCHES. OUR VILLAGE GROCERY STORE AND FIRE STATION TESTED SEVERAL BUSINESSES AND RESTAURANTS RESIDE UNIQUELY ON AN ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF CLARK AND ALL ROAD. AND OF COURSE OUR CHILDREN'S JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SIX JUST TO THE WEST SIDE OF KIRKENDALL ROAD ALONG CREEKSIDE GREEN DRIVE.

WE ARE PETITIONING YOU TONIGHT, THE LEADERS OF OUR COMMUNITY TO TAKE ACTION AND TO KEEP OUR RESIDENTS SAFE.E HAVE TALKED, BUT WE ARE NOW ASKING YOU TO ACT.

FIRST WE WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THOSE PERSONS AND ENTITIES THAT HAVE SHOWN THEIR CONCERN IN LEADERSHIP THUS FAR IN THE ONGOING CONVERSATION ABOUT OUR RESIDENT SAFETY.

AND STEPS THEY HAVE TAKEN.

UR CREEKSIDE PARK VILLAGE ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT NANCY BECKER JUST AS WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE HER FOR LISTENING TO OUR CONCERNS AND STARTING THE CONVERSATION WITH LOCAL LEADERS TO INVESTIGATE THIS ESCALATING ROAD.

OUR COUNTY COMMISSIONER, JACK ABLE AND HARRISON COUNTY FOR PRECINCT 4 FOR CONDUCTING A TRAFFIC STUDY, FOR WHICH WE HAVE BEEN EAGERLY AWAITING RESULTS SINCE JULY. HOPE THEY MIGHT BE HERE TONIGHT. THEY'VE BEEN VERY BUSY AT OUR INTERSECTION TODAY.LSO, SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE HOWARD HUGHES CORPORATION THAT HAVE ANSWERED OUR PHONE CALLS.

AND OUR EMAILS AND ARE VOLUNTARILY LOOKING INTO SOLUTIONS THAT CAN MORE SAFELY GIVE RESIDENTS ACCESS TO AMENITIES THAT THEY DESIGNED FOR OUR FAMIIGHBORS.

AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO COLLABORATE WITH THE TOWNSHIP BY CO-FUNDING THE EXTENSION OF THE PATHWAYS THAT RUN THERE ON CREEKSIDE GREEN.INALLY THE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP BOARD MEMBER DOCTOR N SNYDER FOR HER GUIDANCE TOWARDS COLLABORATION.

AS AN ACTIVIST FOR EDUCATION AND SAFETY, SHE CONTINUES TO SHOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY LEADERS WORKING TOGETHER WITH OUR RESIDENTS TOWARDS A SOLUTION.HANK YOU DOCTOR SNYDER. FOR YOUR CONTINUED LEADERSHIP.

WITH INCREASING DEVELOPMENT IN OUR AREA AND SHARED DESIRE FOR STUDENTS, NEIGHBORS, AND FRIENDS TO WORK, WORSHIP, AND STUDY AND PLAY SAFELY IN THE COMMUNITY, WE ARE PROPOSING THE FOLLOWING CONFERENCE A PLAN TO BETTER PROTECT OUR RESIDENTS.

CONSTRUCTION OF A PEDESTRIAN BENCH TO KEEP WITH THE AESTHETIC STANDARDS OF THE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP.

O PROVIDE A MORE OBVIOUSLY SOUTHERN ENTRY TO THE WOODLANDS. AND TRANSITION FROM A THOROUGHFARE TO PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED RESIDENTIAL.

IT'S OUR PROPOSAL THAT BRIDGE BE NAMED IN HONOR OF WANITA

[00:25:01]

JUST REL QUICK, ADDITIONAL INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS ARE NEEDED. WE PROPOSE A SCHOOL ZONE EXTENSION THROUGH THE INTERSECTION OF KIRKENDALL IN CREEKSIDE GREEN. WITH THE ADDITION OF FLASHING YELLOW LIGHTS AND SIGNAGE. BY THE LOOKS OF IT, THERE WERE WORKERS OUT TODAY PAINTING A CROSSWALK.

SO, WE DO APPRECIATE THAT THAT IS HAPPENING.

I JUST WANT TO SAY REAL QUICK THE YOUNG MAN GRADY, WHO IS SUPER TOUGH. I WAS THE EXTRA MOM IN THE INTERSECTION. WATCHING LIKE MOM STUDENT WITH AN EVIL EYE AS TWO BOYS CROSS THIS INTERSECTION.

ON THEIR BIKES. AND I SAW GRADY AND HIS FRIEND GET ALMOST ALL THE WAY ACROSS UNTIL A CAR TURNED.

AND HIT GRADY. I WAS THE MOM WHO TOLD MY DAUGHTER TO STAY IN THE CAR. AND HE RAN ACROSS THE INTERSECTION WITH ANOTHER GENTLEMAN THAT SPOKE EARLIER TONIGHT. WE CHECKED ON GRADY.

I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE OKAY. YOU ARE SO TOUGH.

[LAUGHTER] I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

IN TERROR, I'M REALLY SORRY FOR HAVING TO BE THE PERSON THAT MADE THAT PHONE CALL TO YOU. IT'S A CALL THAT A MOM NEVER WANTS TO MAKE ANOTHER MOTHER AND A CALL THAT NO MOTHER WANTS TO HEAR. I AM JUST GRATEFUL THAT I GOT TO SAY YOUR SON HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT HE'S OKAY.

JUST PLEASE GET HERE SAFELY. HE'S ALL RIGHT.

JUST BUMPS AND BRUISES SO FAR. >> AND HOLLY SMITH, I'M RIGHT BEHIND HER. I YIELD MY TIME TO LAURA.

>> IS THAT A RIGHT TO CONTINUE? >> GO AHEAD.

>> ADDITIONAL INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS ARE NEEDED WITH THE SCHOOL ZONE EXTENSION THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE.

ESPECIALLY PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT RESIDENTS.

OF THE CREEKSIDE AREA. THERE IS NOT A SCHOOL ZONE IN THE INTERSECTION. , BUT AT LEAST 100 KIDS AND THEY HAVE TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION TO GET TO SCHOOL FOR VARIOUS REASONS. THE PARENTS HAVE TO WORK AND THEY ARE REQUIRED TO GET ACROSS.

THERE ARE BUSES PROVIDED, NOT ALWAYS ON TIME.

I WILL SAY THAT I PERMANENTLY REDUCE SPEED LIMIT OF THIS AREA OF 30 MY MILES AN HOUR FOR NORTHBOUND AND SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC AT KIRKENDALL ROAD BEGINNING AT INDIAN HILL ROAD.

THIS AREA ALONG PARKING BILL HAS MULTIPLE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING POINT AND HAS BEEN DESIGNED AS A PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED SHOPPING AND RESIDENTIAL AREA.

THE SPEED LIMIT MUST BE RECONCILED WITH THE PEDESTRIAN DESIGNED TO KEEP OUR RESIDENTS SAFE.

IGHT NOW, WITH A 40 MILE AN HOUR AND 45 MILE AN HOUR AND CONSISTENT SPEED LIMIT. NOT CONSISTENT OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS TRYING TO CROSS. THIS SET, I WOULD LIKE TO BE CLEARED ON THE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP TODAY.

IT'S AN INTERIM PLAN UNTIL THIS PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE CAN BE IMPROVED, WE WOULD LIKE THE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP TO AGREE TO FUND THE NECESSARY HARRIS COUNTY PRECINCT FOR CONSTABLES.

TO DIRECT TRAFFIC DURING THE SCHOOL ZONE THE HOURS AS PROPOSED. , SADLY IT HAS BEEN HUNDRED AND 74 DAYS SINCE AND JUST SHY OF SIX MONTHS SINCE JUANITA'S DEATH AT THE INTERSECTION. ONE DAY SINCE GRADY WAS HIT BY A CAR BY NOT FULL OF GRACE. I WATCHED AS A MOM.

HE CROSSED CORRECTLY.

E HAD THE RIGHT AWAY AS THE OFFICER NOTED.

DESPITE PROMISES, THE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP HAS MADE TO THE COMMUNITY. IT HAS NOT ACTED.

THE ACCIDENT THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY IS THE PRICE OF INACTION. IT SHOULD NOT OF HAPPENED.

EVERYONE HAS BEEN PUT ON NOTICE.

THAT'S THE DANGEROUS INTERSECTION.

WE UNDERSTAND WAITING FOR TRAFFIC STUDIES, WHICH HAVE TAKEN OVER SIX MONTHS SHOW UP. I THINK THAT'S EXCESSIVE.

GIVEN THAT THIS WAS INSTIGATED AFTER A DEATH OF A RESIDENT.

IRONICALLY, A LIFEGUARD. PLEASE IMMEDIATELY FUND COUNTY PRECINCT FOR CONSTABLES. I'M ASKING YOU TODAY.

IF YOU WILL STAND UP AND LEAD THIS CHARGE AND WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE OTHER ENTITIES THAT HAVE STARTED WORKING TO BETTER AND IMPROVE OUR LIFE IN CREEKSIDE PARK VILLAGE.

E APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT, THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU LAURA AND HOLLY.

[00:30:06]

SORRY STEPHANIE. >> THANK YOU.

JUST IN CASE ANYBODY WANTED TO WRITE DOWN A NUMBER, I JUST WANTED TO REFRESH HIS PETITION FOR AN UPDATE.

AND THAT NUMBER IS NOW 1840 SIGNATURES.

FROM RESIDENTS OF CREEKSIDE PARK ON THE PETITION THAT LORDS PROPOSED. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. MY NAME IS STEPHANIE P FOR PERGAMUM MOM OF THREE CHILDREN. TWO OF WHICH CURRENTLY ATTEND CREEKSIDE PARK JUNIOR HIGH. AND I'M A BOARD MEMBER AT THE PTO AT CREEKSIDE PARK. ALL THREE OF MY KIDS LOVE TO RIDE THE BIKES AND WALKED CREEKSIDE'S LIKE PATHS AND SIDEWALKS TO SEE FRIENDS. ENJOY THE PARKS POOLS AND AMENITIES THAT THE WOODS HAS TO OFFER FOR THAT'S WHY WE LIVE HERE. THAT'S WHY WE BOUGHT PROPERTY HERE. FOR THE SCHOOLS, PARKS, BIKE PATHS, CHURCHES, AND LIFESTYLES THAT THE WOODLANDS OFFERS OUR FAMILY. LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING THE PLAN FROM HARRIS COUNTY LATER IN THE AGENDA REGARDING THE INTERSECTION AT KIRKENDALL ROAD IN CREEKSIDE GREEN.

I WAS RELIEVED, ALTHOUGH SKEPTICAL TO SEE A CREW WORKING IN THE INTERSECTION JUST TODAY. THIS MORNING.

BUT IT IS A SHAME THAT IT HAS TAKEN YEARS TO GET ANYTHING TANGIBLE DONE. AND OVER FIVE MONTHS SINCE THE DEATH OF A CREEKSIDE RESIDENT. HE ACCIDENT THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY WAS PREVENTABLE. AND IT'S BEYOND THE TIME TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. WE ARE TYPICALLY A BUSY FAMILY OF FIVE AND IT'S NOT UNUSUAL FOR ME TO DRIVE THROUGH THAT SINGLE INTERSECTION 6 TO 8 TIMES PER DAY.

I'VE SEEN MORE NEAR MISSES THAN I CAN COUNT.

BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ALLOWING MY CHILDREN OR EVEN ADULTS IN OUR FAMILY TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION ON BIKE OR ON FOOT. MY PAST EIGHT YEARS IN THE WOODLANDS, THE TRAFFIC HAS BECOME HEAVIER AND HEAVIER.

IT'S SUPPORTED BY A CHURCH. TWO SCHOOLS IN HEB AND OTHER CREEKSIDE BUSINESSES JUST TO THE NORTH.

IN THE WALMART SHOPPING CENTER AND ALL THAT THAT BRINGS WITH IT JUST TO THE SOUTH. TWO NEW APARTMENT COMPLEXES HAVE BEEN BUILT IN THE NEAR VICINITY.

ONE OF WHICH IS CURRENTLY ONLY ABOUT 50 PERCENT CAPACITY.

SO, THE NUMBER OF DRIVERS WILL INCREASE.

HEB 18 WHEELERS BARREL DOWN THE STREET TO MAKE DELIVERIES AND ALL PRECISELY WHERE OUR CHILDREN ACROSS THE STREET TO GET TO SCHOOL. AND WHERE OUR CREEKSIDE RESIDENTS WOULD LIKE TO CROSS TO ACCESS BUSINESSES AND AMENITIES. RESIDENTS THERE HAVE KNOWN FOR YEARS THAT THIS INTERSECTION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

BUILDING A SCHOOL THAT ALL CREEKSIDE CHILDREN, LIVE ON BOTH SIDES OF KIRKENDALL ARE ZONED TO ATTEND IS A DECISION THAT COMES WITH OBLIGATIONS TO ADDRESS SAFETY.

BASED ON RECENT EVENTS, I HOPE YOU WILL AGREE THAT IT IS PAST TIME FOR ACTION. CROSSING GUARDS WOULD ADDRESS PART OF THE PROBLEM. AND IT CERTAINLY ONE OF THE MOST URGENT NEEDS THAT WE PROBABLY WILL ADDRESS HERE TODAY.BUT IT'S ONLY PART OF THE SOLUTION.

THAT WILL ASSIST CHILDREN WHO CROSS BETWEEN THE PRECISE TIMES OF THE DESIGNATED SCHOOL ZONE HOURS, BUT IT DOES NOT ADDRESS CHILDREN WHO GO TO SCHOOL EARLY AND OR STAY LATE FOR TUTORING, CLUBS, OR SPORTS ON A DAILY BASIS.

THIS INCLUDES ALL KIDS WHO PLAY FOOTBALL.

BASKETBALL, CROSS-COUNTRY, ROBOTICS, YOU NAME IT.

THEY GO TO SCHOOL EARLY. THEY'RE STAYING LATE.

CHILDREN AND ADULTS WANT TO CROSS TO ATTEND SPORTING EVENTS AT SCHOOL. AND OFF HOURS.

RESIDENTS ON THE EAST SIDE TO CROSS AND ENJOY THE AMENITIES AT WENDLAND PARK AND PULPIT RESIDENTS ON THE WEST SIDE ONE TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THIS BUSINESSES IN CREEKSIDE GREEN.

E URGE THE TOWNSHIP TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH HARRIS COUNTY.OWARD HUGHES AND ISD TAKE ACTION ON A COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION THAT ADDRESSES THE ENTIRETY OF THIS ISSUE FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY IN CREEKSIDE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU STEPHANIE.

[APPLAUSE] AND NEXT UP IS HEATHER MERE. OR MEYER.

>> I'M NOT SURE. MY NAME IS HEATHER MEYER.

AND HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF THE WOODLANDS FOR 10 YEARS.

I'M ALSO HERE TONIGHT TO TALK TO ABOUT THE DANGEROUS INTERSECTION AT CREEKSIDE GREEN.

AND KIRKENDALL. NEXT TO CREEKSIDE PARK JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH ALL THREE OF MY CHILDREN HAVE ATTENDED.

174 DAYS AGO, TEENAGER WAS KILLED THERE.

TRYING TO GET HOME FROM HER SUMMER JOB.

IT'S 174 DAYS THAT HER MOTHER HAS HAD TO WAKE UP AND REALIZE.

REALIZE THAT SHE'LL NEVER SEE HER DAUGHTER GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE. WALKED DOWN THE AISLE AT HER WEDDING OR BOUNCER BABY ON HER KNEE.

A DOCUMENT 74 DAYS THAT THIS BOARD HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY SAFER.

AND PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. I DO UNDERSTAND THE OTHER ENTITIES ARE INVOLVED. HARRIS COUNTY WAS DOING THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND THEY DO NEED TO DETERMINE LONG-TERM

[00:35:04]

INSTEAD, NOTHING WAS DONE. WE HEARD FROM TARA WHAT WAS LIKE FOR ANOTHER MOM IN THE COMMUNITY TO GET THE PHONE CALL THAT WE ALL DREAD. THERE HAS BEEN AN ACCIDENT.

COME QUICK. THAT DID NOT NEED TO HAPPEN.

HE INMATE DID NOT NEED TO END UP ON THE HOOD OF A CAR SCARED AND BRUISED AND BLEEDING AND BROKEN.

THANK GOD HE WAS NOT KILLED. BUT NOTHING WILL EVER TAKE THOSE MOMENTS OF FEAR FROM HIM OR HIS MOTHER.

FIVE YEARS AGO, I STOOD HERE IN FRONT OF YOU WITH THE COALITION FOR RESPONSES IN RESPONSE WILL DEVELOPMENT AND WARNED ABOUT THE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC. AND THE RISK THAT IT POSED FROM THE PROPOSED WALMART. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OVER THE LAST YEARS. WITH MORE PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY MEASURES THAT NEED TO ACCOMPANY THAT DEVELOPMENT HAVE NOT YET HAPPENED.

OUR ELECTED LEADERS ARE MEANT TO DO THE THINGS FOR OUR COMMUNITY THAT WE CANNOT DO FOR OURSELVES.

THE WILL WAS THERE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

VOLUNTEER CROSSING GUARDS. BUT WE WERE TOLD THAT THAT WAS NOT SAFE. LET THAT SINK IN FOR A MOMENT.

WE WERE TOLD THAT ADULTS WITH TRAINING AND SAFETY GEAR AND NOT BE SAFE STANDING IN THE INTERSECTION.

AND YET, WE'LL EXPECT 11 TO 14-YEAR-OLDS WITH THE UNDEVELOPED BRAINS, THEIR PENCHANT FOR TAKING RISKS AND THEIR INABILITY TO PRODUCTIVE AND PREDICT CONSEQUENCES.

ACROSS THE STREET HUNDREDS OF TIMES A DAY.

I'M ASKING YOU TODAY TO PLEASE TAKE YOUR ROLE AS ELECTED LEADERS SERIOUSLY AND HELP TAKE ACTION SO THAT NO MORE CHILDREN ARE INJURED OR KILLED IN THE INTERSECTION.

IQ. >> THANK YOU HEATHER.

[APPLAUSE] >> NEXT IS UP AS CLARENCE

TERRENCE. >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS LES TERRENCE. I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT HERE IN THE WOODLANDS FOR 36 YEARS. THE SITUATION OF NOT SPEAKING ABOUT TONIGHT, BUT I'M JUST AMAZED TO LISTEN TO ALL OF IT TONIGHT IS THE INTERSECTION PROBLEM.

THOSE ARE THE THING THAT THE TOWNSHIP SHOULD HAVE IS A HIGH PRIORITY. NOT TRYING TO TURN THE TOWNSHIP TO HIS CITY. ALL OF YOU ON THE BOARD WERE IN SUPPORT OF THAT.HOSE OF YOU THAT WERE WERE TOTALLY MESMERIZED BY GORDY BUNCHE. GORDY LUNCH DID NOT REPRESENT THE WOOD LANDS. HE'D HAD A TERRIBLE DEFEAT.

THE PERSONAL DEFEAT IN HIS LEADERSHIP.

I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY FOR HIM TO SHOW SOME HONOR BY STEPPING DOWN AND ALLOWING AND SNYDER TO BECOME CHAIRMAN.

WE NEED LEADERSHIP.E DON'T NEED SOMEBODY THAT'S ONLY INTERESTED IN HIS OWN PERSONAL WANTING TO GET AHEAD.

AT OUR EXPENSE. SO, I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

THOSE OF YOU THAT SUPPORTED THE CITY, I THINK YOU ARE TERRIBLY INFLUENCED BY GORDY BUNCHE AND HE SHOULD STEP DOWN.

APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU LES.

NEXT UP IS ALAN DOUGLAS. >> GOOD EVENING BOARD MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS ALAN DOUGLAS. I'M A 23 YEAR RESIDENT OF THE WOODLANDS.

EING THAT IT'S THANKSGIVING SEASON, I'M GONNA GIVE SOME THANKS, BUT BEFORE I DO THAT, I WANT TO REVIEW SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PASSED LAST WEEK.

IF I MAY. YOU PROMISED GORDY IN 2019 THAT YOU WOULD NOT HOLD A VALID REFERENDUM IN AN OFF YEAR ELECTION. WE HAVE YOU ON VIDEO.

DOING THAT. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? YOU PUT IT OFF YEAR ELECTION. WERE SEVEN PERCENT OF VOTERS TURNED OUT 93 PERCENT OF COUNTY VOTERS DID NOT EVEN SHOW UP.

IT'S THE OLDEST PLAYBOOK IN THE WORLD.

BUT SOMETHING IN THAT YOU WANT TO HIDE.

WHEN HE PUT IT IN AN OFF YOU. PEOPLE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.

IT GOT A HIGH PERCENTAGE IN THE WOODLANDS.

SHAME ON YOU FOR THAT. YOU HAVEN'T HAD ADEQUATE TOWNHALL MEETINGS. IF AN OVER TAXING US.

MAYBE IT'S 100 MILLION, MAYBE IT'S 100 MILLION.

WE'VE BEEN OVERTAXED FOR OVER FIVE YEARS.

SHAME ON YOU FOR DOING THAT. THE BUDGET NUMBERS, AND WITH

[00:40:07]

BECAUSE YOUR FIGURES ARE WRONG. SHAME ON YOU.

YOU NO LONGER HAVE THE CONFIDENCE OF THE WOODLANDS RESIDENCE. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THANKS TO YOU GORDY. IN THE OTHER DIRECTORS SPLITTING YOUR INFORMATION, YOUR PROPAGANDA AND YOUR MISINFORMATION ON THE INTERNET. YOU HAVE AWAKENED THE SLEEPING BECAUSE THE MORE YOU TALK AND I APPRECIATE IT.

YOU ARE THE GREATEST SALESMAN FOR THE VOTE NO COULD YOU SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF YOURSELF.

I HOPE YOU SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT. I DO BECAUSE I HELPED DEFEAT THIS MEASURE. AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN IF I HAVE TO. IN HER NUMBERS.

WITH NO CONFIDENCE IN YOU FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS VOTED FOR THAT. I'M REQUESTING THAT EACH OF YOU RESIGN AND STEP DOWN. BECAUSE YOU NO LONGER HAVE THE CONFIDENCE. 16,431 RESIDENTS AGREE WITH ME.

THEY VOTED NO. THE FAMILY HAD ÃÃ [INDISCERNIBLE] THAT'S WHAT I CAME TO THE WOODLANDS. BECAUSE OF THIS SPECIAL PLACE.

I DON'T SEE DESTROYED WITH A BUNCH OF TOWN COUNCIL.

THOSE LISTENING UNITED STATES WERE THE RESIDENTS RUN IT.

YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT IT. YOU CAN GET THEM OUT OF GOT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO DO THAT BUT SHAME ON EVERYONE OF YOU FOR DOING THAT. SHE LISTEN TO THE NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR COULD WEAVE NEIGHBOR AGAINST NEIGHBOR.

SHAME ON YOU GORDY. PEOPLE HATE EACH OTHER FOR THIS. EVERYONE OF YOU THAT VOTED FOR THIS OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED. AND I'M ASHAMED.

THEY VOTED FOR YOU. MY WIFE AND I ALSO FOR YOU.

NEVER AGAIN. AND NEVER VOTE FOR ANOTHER MEMBER ON THIS BOARD. THE VOTED TO INCORPORATE IN THE OFF YEAR ELECTION WITH A SEVEN PERCENT TURNOUT.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. I'M WAITING FOR YOU ALL TO RESIGN. BUT I GUESS WE MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT A LONG TIME. BECAUSE OF A SILLY IF YOU HAVE ANY SHAME. SO I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND 16,431. PLEASE ASK THAT NUMBER IN THE IT IN YOUR BRAIN. BECAUSE THAT'S WHO VOTED AGAINST YOU. EVERYONE OF YOU.

EXCEPT FOR TWO. WE HEADED UP TO HERE.

I KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY YOU'LL SPEND ON THE PREPARATION OF $1.8 MILLION 3 MILLION OR WHATEVER IT IS.

IT'S TOO MUCH. AND I HEARD MISINFORMATION ABOUT HOWARD HUGHES. SPENDING MONEY.

GUESS WHAT?HE THERMALLY PROCUREMENTS OR COMPANY SPENDS FOR YOU ALL SPENT OUR TAX MONEY DO NOT ALL UNDERSTAND? BUT I DON'T THINK YOU DO. DON'T THINK THIS MEASURE IS BEEN PUT TO REST. BUT THE NEXT TIME WE'RE GONNA FIGHT EVEN MORE. WE GET PEOPLE OFF THE BOARD.

I WILL NOT REST. I GIVE THANKS A NATIVE TEXAN.

MY GRANDPARENTS CAME HERE HUNDRED AND 15 YEARS AGO.

SPOKE NO ENGLISH. CAME FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY.

I'M NOT GONNA LET THE NAMES GO IN VAIN.

SCHAMA NOTED THAT VOTED. TO INCORPORATE.

WE HOPE YOU LEARN THE LESSON, BUT I REALLY DOUBT IT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MY NAME IS ALAN DOUGLAS, SIR.

>> THANK YOU ALAN.

[APPLAUSE] >> WITH MICHAEL COUSINS AGAIN OR DIFFERENT MICHAEL COUSINS? I CALLED YOU EARLIER, BUT MICHAEL COUSINS CAME UP. I JUST THOUGHT I GOT THE NAME WRONG. NO WORRIES.

>> GOOD EVENING MY NAME IS MICHAEL KUHN.

I'M A RESIDENT OF THE GOLDEN SHADOW SUBDIVISIONAL OF LAKE WOODLANDS. AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THREE TOPICS TONIGHT. OF BEFORE I GET INTO ARE ACTUALLY THREE TOPICS ARE LIKE THE BOARD TO ADDRESS.

BUT BEFORE I GET INTO THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION FOR THE BOARD THE TIME THAT YOU ALL AND EFFORT YOU ALL DO DONATING TO HELP THE TOWNSHIP AND THE RESIDENTS OF THE WOODLANDS. YOU KNOW? THE JOKE GOES YOU ARE NOT PAID NEARLY ENOUGH.EVEN IF YOU WERE PAID. BUT, ANYWAY, I DO APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU ALL DO AND VOLUNTEER WITH.

[APPLAUSE] >> MY THREE TOPICS TONIGHT OR

[00:45:06]

I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE ROADWAY DEVELOPMENTS.

AND I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT OVERALL COMMUNICATIONS.

SO, ASK SOME OF THE SPEAKERS TONIGHT AND SOME OF THE SPEAKERS IN LAST WEEK'S MEETING, THEY COMMENTED THAT THEY FEEL THAT THE FACT THAT 13 PERCENT OF THE WOODLANDS VOTERS VOTED AGAINST THE INCORPORATION OF SOME SORT OF MANDATE.

I DISAGREE WITH THAT. THINK THERE WAS A LOT OF MISINFORMATION PUT OUT. AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE VOTE TO GO LOOK IT DID. PLUS, I THINK BEING IN AN OFF YEAR DID LIMIT PEOPLE COMING OUT TO VOTE.

SO, WHAT I WOULD ASK THE BOARD TO DO IS SET UP A TIMELINE IN AN EFFICIENT CREDIT FOR PUTTING THE BALLOT INCORPORATION BACK IN ABOUT. PREFERABLY NOVEMBER.

TO THAT POINT, THE QUESTION OF DECISION CRITERIA IS AROUND THE ROADWAY DEVELOPMENTS. AND IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR, THE COMMISSIONERS APPROVED THREE NOTED EXPANSIONS OF WITHIN THE WOODLANDS PREPRINTS CROSSING COUNSELING IN KIRKENDALL.

FROM THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

THEY THEN RAN AGAINST THE CORPORATION SAYING THAT THERE WERE NO PLANS FOR EXPANSION OR EXTENSIONS OF THE ROADWAY.

THIS BEGS THE QUESTION GIVEN THE INCORPORATION DID NOT PASS HELEN BEFORE THIS PROJECTS ARE BACK IN THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE AS PLANNED. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT DID NOT SHOW UP IN THE PLANS WITHIN THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS.

AS YOU REPRESENT THE WOODLANDS, I LOOK TO YOU TO KEEP THE WOODLANDS AND RESIDENTS INFORMED.O THE COMMISSIONERS ARE TRYING TO DISSECT THE WOODLANDS RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES. FOR MAJOR THOROUGHFARES AND GATEWAYS INTO THE DEVELOPING AREAS AROUND THE WOODLANDS.

THIS TO ME IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPELLING REASONS FOR CORPORATIONS. BECAUSE THE ROADWAY SAFETY, WHICH WE'VE HEARD ABOUT. BOTH TONIGHT BUT ALSO LAST WEEK WITH THE GOSLING AND RESEARCH MRS. GROGAN'S MILL AND RESEARCH. ROADWAY PLANS IF THEY ARE DOING IT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK THE TOWNSHIP NEEDS TO CHANGE AND I THINK INCORPORATING WILL DO THAT. SO, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER OUR ROADWAYS AND THE SAFETY THAT POSES FOR THE COMMUNITIES.

THIS BRINGS ME TO MY FINAL POINT.

THAT POINT IS THE WOODLANDS IS BEEN A GREAT RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY. BUT, I FEEL LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BOAT THIS TIME, THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH COMMUNICATION.

THERE WAS A LOT OF MISINFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION OUT THERE. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE TOWNSHIP ÃÃAS MUCH AS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND INFORMATION ON THE TOWNSHIP WEBSITE, IT WAS NOT EASY.

AND I THINK IT WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM OF WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE VOTE. SO, I WOULD LIKE THE TOWNSHIP TO THINK ABOUT GETTING A MORE ACTIVE WEBMASTER IF YOU WOULD.

TO KEEP THE RESIDENTS INFORMED. OT JUST THE TOWNSHIP INFORMATION, BUT ALSO THE COUNTY INFORMATION AND THE REGIONAL INFORMATION WITH DEVELOPMENTS GOING ON.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR TONIGHT. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU MICHAEL.

[APPLAUSE] >> IT WILL BE AARON SCHULTZ.

>> OKAY.

ND NOW KENT MAGGERT. >> AND WHO TO TALK ABOUT THE COVENANTS TONIGHT. WHAT I WANT TO SECOND TIER FOLKS INCREASE IT. MY 45 YEAR RESIDENT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST THOUSAND IN FACT. I LIVE REAL CLOSE TO THAT PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE BETWEEN THE THREE SCHOOLS ON SAWMILL AND CROSSES GROGAN'S MILL AND IT'S REALLY BENEFICIAL TO ALL MEN ALSO BECAUSE OF BEEN ACROSS HUNDREDS OF TIMES.

SO, FORTUNATELY WE HAD SOME PEOPLE THAT PLANNED AHEAD 45 YEARS AGO AND THEY BUILT THAT BRIDGE.

AND IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THE DEVELOPER AND MAYBE THE TOWNSHIP NEEDS TO GET A BRIDGE BUILT DOWN THERE.

[00:50:03]

MR. BUNCH MADE A STATEMENT LAST MEETING.

THAT THE TOWNSHIP HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE DEED RESTRICTIONS OR THE COVENANTS. AND THAT IS NOT TRUE.

IN FACT, THE TOWNSHIP HAS A WHOLE GROUP THAT ENFORCES THE COVENANTS AND THEY WRITE THE COVENANTS.

AND EXTEND THE COVENANTS THAT I'VE GOT.

PROBABLY I LIVE IN A DIFFERENT HOUSE NOW, BUT THE ORIGINAL DEED RESTRICTIONS WERE PROBABLY TWO OR THREE PAGES.

THAT I GOT WHEN I CLOSED. NOW, THE WOODLANDS RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OR 82 PAGES.

82 PAGES. AND A RECENT COVENANT WAS WRITTEN TO CONTROL SHORT-TERM HOUSING GROUNDS.

THAT WAS WRITTEN AND PUT IN PLACE IN THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS BY THE TOWNSHIP. THE TOWNSHIP WROTE THAT AND IT IS A COVENANT THAT WE ARE ALL SUBJECT TO.ND I'M IN FAVOR OF IT. BUT, THE FACT THAT MR. BUNCH MADE A STATEMENT THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE COVENANTS IS FALSE. NOW, WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME FOLKS ÃÃTHE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COMMITTEE PER THE ME TELL YOU WHAT THEY DO PUT THIS IS ON THE WEBSITE.

HE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COMMITTEE, DSC HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO ADOPT AND ENFORCE STANDARDS GOVERNING PROPERTY USE AND MAINTENANCE. THE COMMITTEE PROMULGATES ÃÃ NOT A GOOD WORD. BUT THEY WRITE.

RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT GOVERN THE WOODLANDS PREDEATH COVENANTS. OR RESTRICTIONS.

THE DSP, WHICH IS MADE UP OF FOUR RESIDENTS APPOINTED BY THE BOARD AND WOODLANDS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY APPOINTEES IS THE ONLY COMMITTEE WITH THE POWER TO GRANT VARIANCES.

SO, THESE SERVE FAIRLY IMPORTANT PEOPLE.

NOW, I HAPPEN TO LIVE IN ZERO LOT LINE PATIO HOME DEVELOPMENT THAT I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE. AND THERE ARE ABOUT 55 OR 2500 RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THESE ZERO LOT LINE COMMUNITIES.

WE HAVE NO LEGAL RIGHT TO ENTER THE ZERO LOT LINE OF OUR PROPERTY. AND I HAVE ASKED THE STAFF HAS PROMISED TO AMEND THAT TO PROVIDE THOSE EASEMENTS.

WHICH FOR SOME REASON MR. BUNCH JUSTICE THAT DID NOT HAPPEN AND HAS NOT HAPPENED YET. NOW, THERE'S ANOTHER THING OR SOMETHING EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD ARE 67 HOMES IN MY LITTLE PATIO HOME. EACH ONE OF THOSE HAS A SEPARATE SET OF COVENANTS ADDITION CRITICAL TO NEIGHBORHOOD CRITERIA. DO YOU KNOW WHO WROTE THOSE? THE STAFF. NOW -2000.

THAT WAS THE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION.

THE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION STAFF WROTE THESE NEIGHBORHOOD CRITERIA. THEY ARE PART OF THE COVENANTS.

THEY ARE I AM SUBJECT TO THESE NEIGHBORS.

YOU WROTE THEM. YOUR STAFF IS CONTINUING TO WRITE THEM EVERY TIME YOU HAVE A NEW DEVELOPMENT.

THAT IS ACCEPTED INTO THE COVENANTS.

SO, THE FACT THAT YOU MADE A STATEMENT ÃÃI COULD PLAY HERE. BUT BASICALLY WHAT YOU SAID IS DON'T COME TO ME. BECAUSE NOT HAVING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RESIDENTIAL COMMANDMENT.

COMMERCIAL JUST AS YOU DO NOT. YOU ARE CORRECT.

COMMERCIAL YOU DO NOT. BUT THE RESIDENTIAL'S YOU CONTROL THEM. YOU WRITE THEM.

AND YOU ENFORCE THEM. AND ANYWAY, THINK HOPEFULLY WE'RE GONNA HEAR SOME COMMENTS FROM THE PEOPLE HERE.

BUT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT AND THEY WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT SOME OF THE RESIDENTS CONCERNS. INE PARTICULARLY.N 2500 PEOPLE. THAT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH NO EASEMENTS. AND I WILL NOT GET INTO IT.

IT'S FAIRLY COMPLICATED.UT ANYWAY, HOPEFULLY THE NEW DSC APPOINTEES WILL BE ELECTED AND OPEN BOAT.

THE LAST ONES WE HAD AN ELECTION ÃÃAND THERE WAS A SECRET VOTE OF THE BOARD AND ON WHO THEY VOTED FOR.

WE DO NOT THAT THEY VOTED OUT WALL WAS A WHISKEY, WHO WAS THE PRESIDENT WHO ACTUALLY RAN AGAINST ONE OF THE BOARD SEATS.

BUT HE WAS VOTED OUT. GOOD MAN.

HANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU KENT.

NEXT UP IS KEIRA BECKER. >> KEIRA BECKER?

[00:55:15]

>> LET ME SEE IF I CAN SEE THE FINE PRINT HERE ON MY PHONE.

MR. CHAIRMAN AND THE BOARD, MY NAME IS KEIRA BECKER AND I'M A PARENT. A DAUGHTER AT CREEKSIDE PARK JUNIOR HIGH AT CREEKSIDE. I'M SAD TO BE SPEAKING TONIGHT.

THIS DOESN'T BRING ME JOY USUALLY.

I COMMENT WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT IN ME, BUT I AM PRETTY WORN OUT RIGHT NOW. IT'S BEEN A HARD LAST FEW HOURS. LAST DAY.

AND I'M SAD TO HEAR THE COMMENTS BY THE OTHER SPEAKERS ABOUT THE DANGEROUS INTERSECTION AT KIRKENDALL ROAD AND CREEKSIDE GREEN DRIVE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I'VE BEEN HERE WARNING YOU ABOUT THIS.

MANY OF YOU WERE ON THE BOARD THE FIRST TIME I SPOKE.

LIKE HEATHER AND LAURA, WHO STARTED THE COALITION FOR RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT. BACK IN 2014.

AS WALMART WAS GOING IN. WE WARNED YOU ABOUT THE TRAFFIC INFLUX. WALMART EVEN AGREED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC INFLUX. .

OUR COMMISSIONER AGREED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC INFLUX.

HER STATE REP AT THE TIME DEBBIE RIDDLE ÃÃSHE AGREED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC INFLUX. YOU KNEW.

HUNDRED AND 74 DAYS AGO, JUANITA PAULA WAS KILLED IN HER PRIME. THAT IS FIVE MONTHS AND THREE WEEKS AGO. YET, HERE WE ARE.

WE HAVE A SIDEWALK. AND JUST TODAY WORKED BEGAN ADDING FLASHING LIGHTS. STRAFING LOWER SPEED LIMITS AND AN AREA TO EXIST SCHOOL ZONES. HANK YOU TO THE COUNTY.

FOR THAT. ROLL EACH ART PIECE OF WHAT WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE THE INTERSECTION SAFER, THIS IS DOWNRIGHT DISGRACEFUL. 170 ÃÃ174 DAYS.

SO THAT IN. I'M HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE I WANT TO DIRECT AN ADDRESS TO YOU DIRECTLY.

WE HAVE LISTENED FOR YEARS TO YOUR CALLS FOR INCORPORATION.

AND WATCHED YOU POINT FINGERS AT EVERYONE EXCEPT YOURSELVES FOR WHY THINGS ARE SLOW TO HAPPEN OR SIMPLY DON'T HAPPEN.

WE HAVE HEARD THE MYTHIC EXAMPLES IN ADVANTAGES THAT YOU'VE PITCHED. LET US BUILD THE CITY.

IT WILL BE BETTER SAID. YET, HERE WE ARE.

YOUR INACTION HAS BROUGHT US ALL HERE TONIGHT.

HOW ARE YOU GONNA BUILD A BETTER CITY? YOU HAVE FAILED OUR COMMUNITY. TO FILL THE WOODLANDS, YOU FELT CREEKSIDE YOU HAVE FAILED THIS LITTLE BOY AND HIS FAMILY.

CREEKSIDE FAMILIES DON'T FEEL SAFE.

BECAUSE YOU'VE MADE THE DECISION NOT TO DO WHAT YOU DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO. WELL SITTING TOWNSHIP DIRECTORS HAVE HAD THIS DISTINCT ABILITY ALL ALONG TO SIMPLY WRITE A CHECK TO PRECINCT FOR AND HAVE THE MANAGE AT THE CROSSING AT KIRKENDALL. YOU HAVE MADE THE CONSCIOUS DECISION NOT TO. 174 DAYS OF THAT DECISION.

AND NOW WE HAVE AN INJURED LITTLE BOY BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T DO WHAT YOU COULD. STOP THE POLITICS.

I AM TIRED OF IT. I HELD A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF IT. STOP.

FOCUS ON THE REAL ISSUES OF OUR TOWNSHIP.

[01:00:15]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? TONIGHT, I KNOW YOU WILL BE SELECTING A NEW CHAIRMAN. I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER THAT TIME THAT WE HAVE A NEW CHAIR TO LEAD THIS POINT ONE WILL BE A TRUE PARTNER WITH THE COMMUNITY.

ONE THAT WILL WORK WELL WITH OTHER ELECTED LEADERS, WHO SERVE THE WOODLANDS. CREEKSIDE AND THE REST OF THE WOODLANDS DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER THAN 174 DAYS.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU KEIRA.

NEXT UP IS ANNA. >> GOOD EVENING BOARD.

I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT A COUPLE OF THINGS.NE OF THEM HAPPENS TO BE THAT'S JUST A GENERAL PITCH DOES HAVE SOME HANDOUTS THAT SHE'S PASSING OUT BY THE WEIGHT.

ABOUT DRAINAGE, WHICH I KNOW IS A VERY GLOBAL TOPIC.

AND ALTHOUGH SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE THEIR BRANCH MITIGATION PROCESS THAT'S BEEN WORKED ON THAT MONTH 67 HAS DECIDED TO TAKE UP AND REALLY TO HELP EVERYONE.

TO HELP ALL THE WOODLANDS RESIDENTS TRYING TO CONTROL THE WAY THE WATER COMES DOWN. AND SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS ATTORNEY BEEN MADE BEHIND THE HIGH SCHOOL.

AS THE WATER FLOODED AND THEIR BRANCH AND CROSSED INTO SPREAD WIDELY THOUGH WAS. AND THEN IT KEEPS GOING.

THERE ARE FUTURE PLANS? AND THAT IS THE MATH THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING.

HE BIGGEST ISSUE I HAVE WITH THIS IS THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE ROADS THAT FLOOD OBVIOUSLY OUR COUNTY ROADS.

RESEARCH FORCED IS A COUNTY ROAD.

GOSLING AND THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BE MADE UNDER THAT RIDGED AREA WHERE THEY ARE HOPING TO DO DETENTION AREAS IS A COUNTY ROAD. AFTER ATTENDING A COUPLE OF MUD MEETINGS AND ASKED ME A FEW QUESTIONS, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE COUNTY HAS NOT DEVOTED ANY OF OUR TAX DOLLARS TOWARDS ASSISTING WITH THIS. ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE NEWSPAPER LATELY FOR REQUESTING FEMA AND FLOOD GRANTS.

AND OBVIOUSLY HAVE OTHER MONIES THAT THEY DO GET FOR FLOODING THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO GET AND BUYOUTS FOR HOUSES THAT FLOODED IN THE CONROE AREA.

OR THIS PROJECT, WHICH LEFT, THERE WERE ZERO DOLLARS.

SO, I'M HERE VOICING MY OBJECTION THAT THE COUNTY HAS DONE THIS. THIS MADE NO CONTRIBUTION.

I HAVEN'T HEARD OF THEM PLANNING TO MAKE ANY CONTRIBUTIONS AND IT HAS NOT COME TO THE TABLE TO TALK ABOUT HOW THEY CAN HELP THE RESIDENTS TRYING TO AVOID THE FLOODING IN THE FUTURE. AS MR. EASE HER NOSE, BEING IN THE DRAINAGE TASK FORCE OR THE ONE WATER TASK FORCE THEY HAVE BROUGHT MANY PEOPLE TOGETHER AND WE HAVE TO BE PROACTIVE.

SO, WE WILL TALK ABOUT WHAT CAN HAPPEN LATER.

TRY TO PREVENT FUTURE FLOODS. AND AGAIN, THIS IS COUNTY.

WE ARE NOT A CITY. YOU BECOME A CITY.

THESE ARE COUNTY ROADS. THE COUNTY NEEDS TO HELP THEIR LARGEST TAXPAYER, WHICH ARE THE RESIDENTS OF THE WOODLANDS.

THE OTHER THING THAT I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION IS ON AGENDA 19 AND THE ASSIGNMENT TO THE POSITIONS, I DO SUPPORT WHAT HE WANTS TO CONTINUE HAVING HIS POSITION AND I DO SUPPORT OUR BOARD AS IT IS.ND I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP MR. REESER ALSO CONTINUING ON THE DRAINAGE TASK PFORCE.

THE ONE WATER. AND OBVIOUSLY VISIT THE WOODLANDS AS IF NO ONE WERE TO GO TO THE WOODLANDS MEETING TODAY. I BELIEVE MOST ANYONE THAT ATTENDED. WE ARE IN A FAVORABLE VARIANCE AS MONIQUE WOULD SAY. SO, VISIT THE WOODLANDS IS DEFINITELY THE MARKETING ARM FOR THE WOODLANDS.

THE BRING IN SOME OF THOSE TAX DOLLARS TO KEEP OUR TAXES DOWN.

AND THEY ARE VERY UNDERREPRESENTED AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THEY DO. BUT THEY DO A REALLY GOOD JOB.

AND MR. REESE AND OF COURSE MR. WALDO MR. JONES.

SO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND THANK YOU

FOR LETTING SPEAK TONIGHT. >> THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] THAT'S THE END OF OUR SENATE.

F ANYBODY WANTS TO SPEAK, THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO GO.

YES. QUESTION STRICTURE, YOU WILL COME TO THE PODIUM I WILL WRITE YOU IN THE LEDGER.

[01:05:07]

>> MY NAME IS NEIL GAYNOR. I WAS ASKED JUST BEFORE THE MEETING BY DIRECTOR GIBBS TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS.

IN REGARD TO A TOPIC THAT WILL BE THAT IS ON THE AGENDA.

N REGARDS TO STORMWATER INLET MARKERS.

BUT, SHE ASKED ME TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.

TO THAT. ISSUE.

MOST OF US PROBABLY DO NOT KNOW THAT THE GREEKS IN OUR AREA ARE IMPAIRED. SPRING CREEK.

PANTHER BRANCH. THERE BRANCH.

THEY RUN, ADJACENT WORK THROUGH THE WOODLANDS.

THEY HAVE GENERALLY LOW DISSOLVED OXYGEN AND LOTS OF BACTERIAL CONTAMINATION. MOST OF THAT BACTERIAL CONTAMINATION IS DUE TO FECAL MATTER DUE TO DOGS.

GOING NUMBER TWO. PEOPLE NOT PICKING THAT UP.

IT IS ALSO IMPAIRMENT ALSO COMES TO TRASH.

GOING THROUGH THE STORM INLETS. IN OUR AREA.

LOCKING THEM IN PART AND ALLOWING SEPTIC CONDITIONS TO FLOOR. I FIRST LEARNED ABOUT THIS JUST BEFORE COVID. AND IN MY ROLE AS DIRECTOR OF MACH 6, I CONVINCED MY FELLOW DIRECTORS TO BUY INLET MARKERS.

AND START TO HAVE THEM INSTALLED.

AND SO, I GOT A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES GROUP. BECAUSE THEY HAVE GREAT ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS IN PERFORMING VOLUNTEERS.

TO INSTILL THESE MARKERS. SO, WE CAN PROVIDE THE MATERIALS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES CAN PROVIDE THE VOLUNTEERS TO INSTALL THE MARKERS THROUGHOUT THE WOODLANDS. NOW, ALL THE BUGS HAVE SUBSCRIBED TO THIS IDEA. MARKING OUR STORM INLETS.

SO THAT PEOPLE REALIZE ONLY WATER GOES DOWN THE DRAIN, NOT TRASH, NOT DOG POOP, NOT GRASS CLIPPINGS, NOT PESTICIDES.

NOTHING. BECAUSE IT'S UNTREATED AND GOES INTO OUR WATERWAYS. THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SAY.

I KNOW THERE'S GONNA BE A PRESENTATION LATER.'M HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT ALL THIS AT ANY TIME WITH ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO LISTEN. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] > THANK YOU. AND YOU? ALL RIGHT, ANYBODY ELSE? I SEE ONE MORE.

SIR? >> MY NAME IS CHIP OWEN.

>> HELLO BOARD. MY NAME IS CHIP OWEN.

YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ME BEFORE. I THINK MAYBE YOU'VE MET ME ONCE. THE GORDIAN BOARD, I WANTED YOU TO LOOK AT ME AS A POTENTIAL PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR SOMEONE TO VOTE FOR YOU AGAIN. AS IT GOES IN A COMMON EVALUATION. COMPLAINING ACTIVISM ROLE.

I'M LITERALLY JUST A RESIDENT. HIS MY OWN PERSONAL BUSINESS.

I LIVE IN THE WOODLANDS AND I ACTUALLY LOVE THIS COMMUNITY.

I WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE. I VOTED AGAINST INCORPORATION MAINLY BECAUSE I FELT LIKE THE ACTUAL INFORMATION THAT I RECEIVED WAS A DIVISIVE VITRIOL.

PUKE FROM EXTERNAL NEIGHBORS AND I FEEL YOU GUYS DID NOT DO A GOOD JOB OF ACTUALLY COMMUNICATING THE MESSAGING NECESSARY TO ACTUALLY INVOKE PEOPLE TO WANT TO INCORPORATE.

AND TO REALIZE AGAINST CURRENTLY OVERWEIGHT THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS. THE INCORPORATION WITH POSITIVE ONES. AND INSTEAD WE GOT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE THAT WERE REALLY JUST ATTACKING ONE ANOTHER.

AND I FELT. AND I LITERALLY DON'T PAY TENSION YOU GUYS. I WOULD'VE VOTED FOR YOU GUYS IF I LIKE HOW YOU WERE DOING FOR LESS FEWER YEARS AND THAT'S WHAT I WOULD'VE DONE. BUT I FEEL LIKE THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE ME THAT VOTED SOMEWHAT IGNORANTLY BECAUSE WE FELT THAT WE WEREN'T PROPERLY INFORMED.

THAT THE SITE IS VERY EFFECTIVE AT COMMUNICATING THE PROS AND CONS. WHICH IS HOW MOST RESIDENTS MAKE A DECISION. AND IN FACT, I'VE LISTENED TO SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE REALLY KIND OF?ERE WITH A HEAVY

[01:10:03]

AGAINST YOU OR FOR YOU THAT SOMEBODY'S ATTACKS WERE SPECIFIC AND IT MIGHT BE USEFUL FOR YOU TO BULLET SOWS TO PUT SOME OF THIS ANGER TO BED. SOME OF THE VERY SPECIFIC COMPLAINTS AND THAT WERE MADE AND JUST TO ADDRESS THEM.

IF FUNDS WERE APPROPRIATED TOWARDS ADVERTISING FOR INCORPORATION, WHETHER THAT WAS A GOOD DECISION OR BAD ONE, JUST LET US KNOW WHAT IT WAS. AND MADE THIS DECISION.

AND YOU KNOW, AS IT RELATES TO THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMMISSIONERS AND ANYONE THEN EXIT PROVIDES FOR YOU, I WITNESSED THE FIRST MEETING THAT YOU GUYS DID AND HE DID A PRETTY GOOD PRESENTATION AND THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT APPROPRIATELY YOU INVITED THEM TO YOUR TABLE TO ACTUALLY REBUT. AND THEN THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO GET IT SPOT THE TABLE I HAVE TO SAY THAT SOME OF THESE PEOPLE THAT REPRESENT US REPRESENT YOU AND REPRESENT US AS A COMMUNITY.

SAME TEST AND ACTUALLY HURT. AND I FEEL THAT A LOT OF US TYPICAL RESIDENTS ARE FEARFUL AND I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD DO GOOD FOR YOUR REPRESENTATION TO THIS COMMUNITY TO ACTUALLY CONVINCE THESE COSTS RELATED PAY TENSION AND HAVE YOU GUESSED THAT YOU CONNECTION FOSTER AND GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE PEOPLE.

MIGHT'VE LIKE THEY WERE VOTING DOWN.

I DON'T ENCOURAGE AN INSTANT REIFICATION OF THE SUGGESTED VOTE TO ACTUALLY INVESTED AND THEN DON'T PROPERLY PROPAGANDIZE AT ALL. JUST SPIT IT OUT.

AND HERE ARE THE PROS. HERE'S THE CONS.

PEOPLE WILL RESPECT YOU FOR PRESENTING IT.

FINDINGS CHIP OVEN. JUST A RESIDENT.

>> THANK YOU CHIP.

[APPLAUSE] >> I SEE ONE MORE IN.

>> MY NAME IS CARL. I ACTUALLY AM TERRACE BOYFRIEND. GRADY IS LIKE A CHILD TO ME.

AND I LISTEN TO EVERYBODY TODAY AND I'VE NEVER BEEN TO ANY OF THESE MEETINGS. I NEVER WONDERED UNTIL TODAY.

WHAT REALLY BOTHERS ME IS THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SPENT 20 MILLION+ DOLLARS BUILDING A FOOTBALL STADIUM.

THE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP SPENT $2 MILLION FOR WHATEVER IT IS INCORPORATION EFFORTS. HOWARD HUGHES FOUNDATION CORPORATION PROBABLY SPENT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AGAINST OR FOR THE CORPORATION CORPORATION ADVERTISING.

YET NOBODY SEEMS TO TAKE ACTION ON THE 50 $200,000 EXPENSE.

MY SPRINKLERS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND WHEN IT DRAINS, THEY STILL FLOW WATER. ALL DAY LONG.

RIGHT? SAVE THAT MONEY.

OKAY? HAVE A POLICE OFFICER STANDING THERE DURING SCHOOL HOURS. VOTE ON IT TODAY.

OKAY? THIS IS DONE.

ALL THE WOMEN HERE ARE CRYING. AND YOU GUYS NEED TO JUST STOP SITTING THERE QUIETLY. OKAY? NOBODY AND NONE OF THE GUYS SPOKE.

THAT'S SURPRISING TO ME THAT NOBODY HAS THE ABILITY TO SPEAK UP AND SAY YES, LET'S VOTE ON IT TODAY.

OKAY? WE CAN'T SPEAK TO UNDERSTAND THAT. AT THE END OF THIS MEETING, PLEASE PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA TODAY.

VOTE ON IT TODAY. AND YES OR NO DECISION FROM YOU GUYS IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. YES OR NO TO POLICE OFFICERS SITTING AT THE INTERSECTION HOLDING VIGIL TO PROTECT OUR KIDS. THAT'S ALL WE ARE ASKING FOR.

NOT MUCH. OKAY? IT'S LIKE ONE PERCENT OF THE MONEY YOU ALLOCATED FOR EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU GUYS DO.

OKAY? THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

>> THANK YOU CARL.

[APPLAUSE] >> AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN TO ONE OF OUR MEETINGS, WE ARE PROHIBITED IN ENGAGING IN DIALOGUE WITH DURING PUBLIC COMMENT.

SO AGAIN, WE ARE THANKFUL FOR THAT AS WELL.

WE DID RECENTLY CONDUCT THEIR FALL FESTIVAL.

WHICH WAS A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS. AN EVENT.E HAD ABOUT 300 PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED. FOR US, THAT IS A GREAT NUMBER.

BEAUTIFUL DAY AND LOTS OF PEOPLE OUT IN THE CUSTOMS. WE HAD A GREAT TIME THERE. WE WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN THE LIGHTING CONTEST FOR THE HOLIDAY LIGHTING CONTEST AND COMING UP WITH THE 14TH AND 15TH OF DECEMBER AND WILL MAKE A PRESENTATION TO THE WINNERS ON THE 16TH.

SO, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

WE DIDN'T HOLD THE MEETING IN NOVEMBER AND WE WILL NOT HOLD ONE IN DECEMBER. WE HAVE LOST A COUPLE OF MEMBERS ON OUR BOARD AND ARE DOWN TO VERY FEW AND ONE OF THEM WAS ON A CRUISE THIS PAST TIME.

HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET MORE MEMBERS TO JOIN OUR BOARD.

SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU MR. CHAIRMAN FOR INVITING COMMISSIONER RILEY TO THE MEETING NEXT WEEK AND MONTH TO TALK ABOUT THE OVERPASS SITUATION AT THE ORGANS MILK AND RESEARCH FOR US. AND IT'S BEEN A BIG CONTINGENT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN COLLEGE PARK.

I THINK MANY PEOPLE THAT WE LIST THE GROGAN'S FOREST IS IN THE VILLAGE OF COLLEGE PARK. WE ARE THE ONLY NONCONTIGUOUS VILLAGE IN THE WOODLANDS. SO, RECOVER MANY DIFFERENT TERRITORIES. ONE OF WHICH IS THE GROGAN'S FORCED TERRITORY. I DO HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY THAT COMMISSIONER RILEY IS PREPARED TO DO AND AT GREAT ADJUSTMENT IF NECESSARY. AND I READ RECENTLY THAT COMMISSIONER NOVAK HAS SAID IT'S PROFITABLE FOR THE OVERPASS, WHICH IS THE BIGGEST CONCERN FOR THE RESIDENTS IN GROGAN'S FOREST IS NOT OFF THE TABLE.

OFF THE TABLE. HOPEFULLY THE ISSUE HAS BEEN PUT TO BED, AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

O, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND WORK FOR DOING DIFFERENT AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IT'S ONE WISH EVERYBODY A VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

ON THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE CREEKSIDE PARK VILLAGE ASSOCIATION. NANCY BECKERS AT A TIME AND SHE ASKED ME TO PROVIDE THE VILLAGE UPDATE TO ALL.

WE HELD OUR FINALLY HELD OUR COMMUNITY EVENT FOR 2021.

ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23. AT ROB PLUMBING PARK.

WE ARRANGED FOR A BAND AND SEVERAL FOOD TRUCKS TO FEED THOSE WHO ARE ATTENDING. AND WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD TURNOUT CONSIDERING. SOME HEAVY RAIN THAT PASTOR AT THE START OF THE EVENT. SO, BUT EVENT THIS TEST USUALLY HAS BEEN HELD IN JANUARY. AND BECAUSE OF COVID LAST TWO YEARS, WE HAD TO POSTPONE IT UNTIL THE FALL.

WE ARE GOING AHEAD WITH OUR PLANNING FOR THE RETURN OF THE TRADITIONAL CHILI COOKOFF ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 22.

2022. AND WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED AND TRUST FROM EIGHTEENTHS OF COMPETITORS.

PEOPLE ARE VERY INTERESTED IN GETTING BACK OUT THERE, WHICH IS GOOD TO SEE. AS PART OF OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM FOR SCHOOLS, THE CP VA HAS DONATED $1000 TO THE PT ESSAYS OF EACH OF THE FOUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT ARE VILLAGES. SO, WE THANK ALL OF OUR MEMBERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN MANY OF THE VILLAGE CHALLENGES THAT ALLOWS US TO RAISE THOSE FUNDS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO GET BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. LAW ENFORCEMENT, WE WISH TO EXTEND OUR GRATITUDE TO THE CONSTABLES.

RESCUED A FAMILY WHO GOT LOST HIKING IN THE METRO PRESERVE CURRENT THEY WERE ABLE TO MOBILIZE AND LOCATE THE PARENTS AND THE YOUNG CHILDREN. AND BRING THEM TO SAFETY AFTER THE SUN HAD SET. SO, PLEASE DO BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU GO HIKING OUT THERE. YOU CAN GET LOST VERY EASILY.

REGARDING THE KIRKENDALL CREEKSIDE DURING INTERSECTION, AND I THINK I CAN ADD ANYTHING TO MY FELLOW CREEKSIDE PARK RESIDENTS WHO ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS.

AS YOU KNOW, NANCY BECKER AND IN PARTICULAR HAS BEEN WORKING WITH YOU AND ALL THE OTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN THE PROJECT.

AND WHAT THE VILLAGE ASSOCIATION WOULD LIKE TO DO IS CONTINUE TO ASK THE BOARD FOR THEIR ADVOCACY TO COME UP WITH A SUCCESSFUL RESOLUTION OF THIS ISSUE.

>> AND FINALLY, A NEW ITEM THAT HAS POPPED UP IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS OR SO. I'M SURE THE BOARD IS AWARE THAT FOR PRIOR AGREEMENT, THE EQUIPMENT CORPORATION IS ASCII 386 FOR A $9.1 MILLION. AS REIMBURSEMENT FOR THEIR COST

[01:35:02]

AT THE SAME PARK IS AN ASSET FOR THE ENTIRE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP COMMUNITY. AS WELL AS OTHER LOCAL COMMUNITIES SURROUNDING THE WOODLANDS.

AND THIS IS EVIDENCED BY THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO COME TO THE PARK FROM ALL OVER. O PARTAKE IN EVENTS SUCH AS ARTS IN THE PARK. AND THE ANNUAL FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION AND FIREWORKS. THE MUD WERE TO COMPLETE THIS DEAL, ROB PLUMBING PARK WOULD BE THE ONLY PARKING WHEN LANCE PAID FOR DIRECTLY BY ITS RESIDENTS.

SIMPLY PUT, THE VILLAGE ASSOCIATION FIELDS THAT IT'S NOT FAIR THAT OUR RESIDENTS FOOT THE BILL FOR THIS PARK.

WHICH IS AN ASSET FROM THE LARGER COMMUNITY.

THE ASSOCIATION THEREFORE REQUESTS THAT THE TOWNSHIP COURT ENTER INTO A DIALOGUE WITH BUD 386.

AND HAVE DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO FIND A MORE EQUITABLE MEANS TO SHARE THE COST OF THIS REGIONAL PARK.

AND WE THANK YOU FOR ANY EFFORTS YOU CAN PUT INTO THAT IN THE FUTURE. SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.

ON THE KEY ISSUES FOR CREEKSIDE PARK.

OVER THE COMING OVER THE PAST WEEKS.

AND AS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT IN THE FUTURE.

>> ACTUALLY JUST YOU KNOW, WHILE I AGREE ABOUT THE PARK AND I LOOK FORWARD TO DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS, IT'S NOT TRUE. THAT THAT'S THE ONLY PART OF PTHE WOODLANDS THAT HAS NOT BEE YOU KNOW, THAT HAS BEEN BUILT WITH PUBLIC FUNDS. QUITE A FEW OF THE PARKS WERE ACTUALLY DEVELOPED ENOUGH, UNDER REIMBURSEMENTS FROM INFLUENCE. IN FACT, THE MASS MAJORITY OF THEM ARE. YOU, THE RESIDENTS HAVE IN FACT PAID FOR THOSE PARTS. AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT.E LOOK FORWARD TO THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE THE INFORMATION HAD NOT BEEN AVAILABLE TO US UP INTO THIS POINT IN TIME. SO, WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANY CLARIFICATION AS THE BOARD DOES LOOK INTO THIS INTO THE FUTURE.

>> ONE THING WE CAN HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM ON THAT.

I HAD ASKED JOHN POWERS FOR THE LIST OF ALL OF THE PARKS AND HOW THEY WERE FUNDED AND WE HAVE A SPREADSHEET OF ALL HUNDRED AND 34 PARKS-ISH. AND IN AND OUT, IN THE EARLY YEARS, 100 PERCENT OF THEM WERE FUNDED BY THE HOA'S.

WHICH WERE THE RESIDENTS. AND THEN THERE WERE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS THAT WERE 50-50. DEVELOPER AND HOA'S.

AND THEN THERE WERE SOME WERE THE TOWNSHIP FUNDED 100 PERCENT. WERE THE HOA FUNDED UNDER PERCENT. A COMMUNE EXAMPLE.

ROB PLUMBING REC CENTER IS 100 PERCENT THE TOWNSHIP.

THE BRANCH REC CENTER IS 100 PERCENT.

HOA'S. SO, THERE'S PROBABLY MORE ACCURATE ON THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING FOR ANYONE MUD.

I BELIEVE YOU GUYS HAVE THE LARGEST OUTSIZED BILL THAT I'M AWARE OF. WE ARE CERTAINLY INTERESTED IN HELPING PAT THE MEETING OF THE MINDS.

OF PRIOR MUD BRAD BAILEY BROUGHT THIS UP.

FIVE OR SO YEARS AGO. AND SO, WE ARE HAPPY TO HAVE THAT DIALOGUE AND AGENDA ITEM NEXT MONTH.

THE KIND OF CLARIFY WHAT IS GOING ON IN THAT PARTICULAR

INSTANCE. >> WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE INFORMATION AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO A RESOLUTION OF TEST AS SHE SOME TYPE OF INFORMATION POTENTIAL FOR FUNDING.

>> YES. WE WILL HAVE THAT AGENDA ITEM AND STEFAN TOOK THAT DOWN FOR NEXT MONTH.

WE WILL SEE NEXT MONTH. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

BOTH OF WHOM ARE VERY SKILLED IN MARKETING AND BUSINESS.

GOODPASTER SERAPIS SIEGE AND I CONTINUE TO SERVE ON THE FARMERS MARKET COMMITTEE ALONGSIDE AARON AND KELLY.

THIS PAST SATURDAY, THE MARKET AT 72 REGISTERED OFFENDERS.

THE MOST IT'S OVERHEAD.E ARE RECEIVING MORE REQUESTS TO PARTICIPATE THEN WE CAN ACCOMMODATE.

WE NOW HAVE SEVEN FOOD TRUCKS IN THE LINEUP.

AND HOPE TO HAVE ABOUT. THE MARKET EACH SATURDAY.

AIN'T THE CUISINE ON OFFER RANGES FROM THE CARIBBEAN TO KOREA. THE MARKET ALSO HAS LIVE MUSIC.

BY LOCAL ARTISTS EVERY SATURDAY.

I WILL GIVE SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW OUR MARKET IS SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY. BY DONATIONS.

AND SCHOLARSHIPS. FOR EXAMPLE, IN FAITH OF THE WOODLANDS, THE WOODLANDS. $2000 DONATIONS ÃÃ1000 AND $2000 DONATIONS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STUDENTS TO ATTEND STEVE ENOUGH BOSTON AND GRACELAND COLLEGE, SAM HOUSTON STATE, AND UT AUSTIN. IN THE $1500 EACH TO LAMAR ELEMENTARY. HALEY, TRUDY.

KNOX JUNIOR HIGH AND WILKERSON INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL.

AND $250 TO THE PLACE. WE HAVE NOT SEEN MANY TOWNSHIP DIRECTORS ATTEND THE MARKET REGULARLY AND WE INVITE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT BEEN IN A WHILE TO VISIT SOON.

SO, THE DOOR IS OPEN. I WANT TO MAKE OUR MARKET OF FUN DESTINATION FOR WOODLANDS RESIDENTS.

AND VISITORS. SO, YOUR ATTENDANCE AND SUPPORT WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED. WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE MERCHANTS IN THE VILLAGE CENTER TO HELP THEM MAINTAIN THEIR BUSINESSES UNDER VERY DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES.

THIS EFFORT INCLUDES IMPROVING THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE.

WE ARE NOT EMAILING TO NEWSLETTERS A MONTH.

TO GROGAN'S MILL RESIDENTS. THE NEWSLETTERS GO OUT TO ABOUT 1600 ADDRESSES WITH A 28 PERCENT OPEN RATE.

OUR FARMERS MARKET WEEKLY LETTER GOES TO AROUND 6000 PEOPLE.ITH A 22 PERCENT OPEN RATE.

AND THAT IS MY REPORT. THANK YOU.

>> THE EMPANADA TRUCK IS MY FAVORITE.

IT IS A UNIQUE DIVERSITY OF SHOPPING OPPORTUNITY AND THAT

SHOPPING CENTER. >> WE ARE GLAD TO BE BACK.

IT WAS TOUGH DURING COVID TIME. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP IS GONNA BE SCOTT WORST OFF WITH

SPELLING RICH. >> GOOD EVENING DIRECTORS AND CONGRATULATIONS ALL YOU. THOSE OF YOU IN THE AUDIENCE, I'M TOM SCHWARZKOPF. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF THE STERLING RIDGE VILLAGE ASSOCIATION.

I'LL MAKE A QUICK AND BRIEF TO PRINT AND ITS ALUMNI.

BUT, WE JUST CONCLUDED OUR BARBECUE AND CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL. IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT.

ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE SHOWED UP. IT'S QUITE IMPRESSIVE.

IF YOU EVER SEEN THAT MANY KIDS ALL OUT THERE PLAN AND HAVING FUN, IT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE. WE ALSO HAVE BARBECUE FOR THE ADULTS AND THAT WAS FUN TOO. VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT.

NEXT YEAR, WE INVITE YOU ALL OUT THERE TO JOIN US.

WE'RE ALL PARTICIPATING IN THE HOLIDAY NIGHTS CONTEST THAT YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING ON. THE GOOD THING.

THIS YEAR, WE HAD SOME EXTRA MONEY.

SO, WE'RE GIVING IT AWAY. WE WOULD HAVE A PASSION FOR KIDS. WE GET ABOUT $2000 TO THE THREE AMATEUR SCHOOLS IN OUR VILLAGE. AND THIS YEAR, WE HAVE EVEN MORE MONEY. WE'RE GIVING SCHOLARSHIP AS WELL. TO A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT.

SO, THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR THIS ONE.

THIS PRESENTATION. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I AM WELCOME IN HOW TO GET IT. ASK THE FARMERS MARKET

PROGRESSION. >> THE FARMERS MARKET WHICH ATTEMPTED WE DID HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WE DID HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GETTING PEOPLE OUT THERE ON SUNDAYS.

IT'S HARD TO COMPETE AGAINST THE GROVERS MILL FARMERS MARKET. THEY DO THEIRS ON SATURDAY.

I'M NOT BLAMING THEM FOR OUR FAILURE.

A FARMERS MARKET IS A CHALLENGE.

IT'S ÃÃYOU WHEN WE STARTED OUR FARMERS MARKET, THERE WERE FOUR FARMERS MARKETS IN THE AREA.

WHEN WE OPENED HOURS UP AND IN THE MONTH AFTER WE OPENED IT

[01:45:04]

THE WOODLANDS AREA. COMPETITION WAS TOUGH.

HE LASTED FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS TO SIX OR SEVEN MONTHS.

WE WERE MAKING A PROFIT. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE EXTRA MONEY THIS TIME. TO GIVE AWAY TO THE SCHOOLS.

SO, FARMERS MARKETS ARE VERY PROFITABLE.

I ENCOURAGED THEM. I ALWAYS DO BECAUSE DURING THE PANDEMIC, I FELT THAT IT WAS NOT RIGHT THAT SMALL BUSINESSES WERE SHUT DOWN. BIG BUSINESSES LIKE WALMART AND BEST BUY WERE ALLOWED TO STAY OPEN.

SO, FOR THAT REASON, WE OPENED AND STARTED THE FARMERS MARKET.

O, I WOULD CERTAINLY AGREE ON THAT.

>> NICE. >> THANK YOU TOM.

ALL RIGHT, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER VILLAGE ASSOCIATION REPRESENTATIVES HERE? IF NOT, WE WILL TAKE A MOTION

[a. Receive, consider and act upon a proclamation in support of Small Business Saturday; ]

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO IMPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

> SO MOVED. >> SECOND.

>> ALL IN FAVOR SAY I. >> I.

>> ANY POST? THE EXTENSIONS.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO SKIP OVER AGENDA ITEM 12. AS NOTED IN INCORPORATION PLANNING STUDY MATTERS IS WITHHOLDING PAIRED WE ASK THAT THIS ITEM BE ON ALL OF OUR AGENDAS AND WE WILL EVENTUALLY BE MOVING THIS OFF OF ALL OF OUR AGENDAS.S IT'S A HOLDOVER. I DO TO ENSURE COUPLE QUESTIONS THAT WERE RAISED ON THIS TOPIC. A PUBLIC COMMENT.

ADVERTISING IN FAVOR OF A CORPORATION.

WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP IS PROHIBITED FROM ADVERTISING FOR OR AGAINST THE CORPORATION IS ABOUT INITIATIVE.

I THINK THE TOTAL EXPENDITURES FOR ALL COMMUNICATIONS WAS $80,000. WHICH IS WHY MR. SHIP WAS ÃÃ SPENT MORE MONEY ON THE OTHER SIDE WHERE THE TOWNSHIP CAN'T SPEND MONEY ADVOCATING FOR OR AGAINST.

WHICH IS WHY THERE WAS NEVER A PROS AND CONS SECTION OF THE WEBSITE. IT IS LEGALLY PROHIBITED.ROM ACTUALLY HAVING A PROS AND CONS.

ONCE IT WAS ABOUT INITIATIVE. SO, I AGREE THAT OBVIOUSLY EDUCATION MATERIALS AND THEN GETTING MESSAGING OUT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOUR VERY CHALLENGED TO DO.

THAT'S THE TOTAL SUM OF ALL FUNDS.

THAT WAS EXPENDED BY THE TOWNSHIP THAT INCLUDES THE

[01:50:01]

WERE THERE. >> INTO MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY.

N THAT AGENDA. ITEM, A DOUBLE STATEMENT I

WOULD LIKE TO READ. >> THANK YOU.

>> FIVE YEARS AGO ON THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL SURVEY, THE WOODLANDS RESIDENTS WERE ASKED OUR OPINION ON INCORPORATIONS.

83 PERCENT OF US WERE OPPOSED IF THERE WAS A TAX INCREASE.

BUT, THERE WAS NO TAX INCREASE, ONLY 30 PERCENT FAVORITE CORPORATION AND 70 PERCENT OPPOSED.

WE AS A BOARD TO CLIENT TO ASK THE SAME QUESTION IN 2018 AND 2020. AND ALSO COOK TO SURVEY OUR RESIDENTS, WHICH IS PART OF OUR INCORPORATION PLAN.

OR MANY, NOVEMBER 2 OUTCOME WAS NOT A SURPRISE.

WE AS A BOARD, HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO LISTEN TO THE RESIDENTS AND TO PUT INCORPORATION OF FAT AND TURN TO OTHER MATTERS. OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, THIS PROJECT HAS UTILIZED FINANCIAL RESOURCES, TOWNSHIP BOARD ENERGY, AND EVEN MORE VALUABLE, OUR STAFF RESOURCES AND TALENT.

IT'S TIME TO TURN THE PAGE. TIME TO SERIOUSLY EXPLORE AND MOVE FORWARD ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

AND MUCH NEEDED LOGICS.UCH AS A PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.

MUSEUM. SHOPPING CENTER REJUVENATION.

TIME TO ADDRESS THE SERIOUS STRUCTURAL PROBLEM IN OUR FIRE STATION FIVE. AND TO TACKLE GREAT CONCERNS THE KIRKENDALL INTERSECTION. PRECINCT FLOOR AND WORK TOGETHER WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS TO CONSIDER OTHER OPTIONS.

IT'S TIME TO RESET OUR PRIORITIES IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE RESIDENTS NEEDS AND WISHES. WE WERE ALL ELECTED BY THE RESIDENTS. AND IT IS OUR JOB TO LISTEN TO THEM. LET'S PUT INCORPORATION TO REST AND WORK ON OPPRESSING AND PERTINENT ISSUES.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER WITH ALL OF OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND ALL OF OUR PARTNERS. WE ARE MUCH STRONGER, UNITED, THEN DIVIDED. AND THERE IS SO MUCH THAT TOGETHER WE CAN DO.> OKAY. THANK YOU DOCTOR SCHNEIDER.

[APPLAUSE] >> OTHER ITEMS THAT I HAD NOTED FROM PUBLIC COMMENT, MR. MAGGERT.

THE COMMENT ON THIS BOARD BEING ABLE TO CHANGE COVENANTS.

MR. POWERS OR STAFF MEMBER CAN ADDRESS THE DS IS A SEPARATE

ENTITY FROM THE TOWNSHIP BOARD. >> THAT IS CORRECT PREDEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COMMITTEE IS AUTONOMOUS.

YOU ARE ONLY AUTHORITY OVER THEM IS THE APPOINTMENT THAT YOU DO ANNUALLY TO THE BOARD. THE COVENANTS ARE STANDARD FROM CRITERIA. AND WHILE THE DSC CAN AMEND AND MODIFY RESIDENTIAL STANDARDS OR COMMERCIAL STANDARDS, THEY CANNOT MODIFY THE COVENANTS. NEIGHBORHOOD CRITERIA IS CREATED BY THE DEVELOPER. AND THE BUILDERS IN EACH SECTION AS THEY ARE PLANTED. AND THEY COMPILE WHAT IS COMPILED. IN A DOCUMENT FOR THAT.

SO, THEY ARE CODIFYING WHAT IS IN MULTIPLE DOCUMENTS THAT'S DONE BY THE DEVELOPER. AT THE INCEPTION OF THAT.

SO, YOUR ONLY AUTHORITY IS TO APPOINTED MEMBERS TO THE DFC.

>> AND EVEN THE DSC DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO AMEND IUDS. AND THEY USE RESIGNATIONS.

>> DSC TO BE A PARTY TO. EVERY TRACT IS AN IUD.

AN INITIAL USE DESIGNATION ON THE PROPERTY.

AND EACH ONE OF THOSE CAN BE UNIQUE.

IT TYPICALLY TAKES THE PROPERTY OWNER, THE DEVELOPER, THE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY AND SOMETIMES THE DFC OR COMMERCIAL

STANDARD FOR ANOTHER PARTY. >> OKAY.

THANK YOU. WE ARE PUSHING.

>> MR. POWERS. WOULD YOU ADDRESS SOME OF THE STAFF TIME AND COMMITMENT TO THE DSC.

IT IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. THAT ACTUALLY AND I THINK HE WAS ADDRESSING TALK ABOUT THAT THE STAFFER AT THIS.

AND READ THAT. THE DSC.

STAFF COMMITMENT. >> I THINK THE CHALLENGE DOCTOR SHELLEY ÃTHIS MY RESPONSE IS TO IN A, IN REGARDING IT.

THIS WAS THE MEETING. I MADE COMMENT AND/OR CITY COUNCIL. CHANGE THE COVENANTS.

[01:55:05]

THEN THE TOPIC OF. >> NEITHER QUESTIONS ON THIS

[13. Receive, consider and act upon an update from the Harris County Engineering Department regarding traffic flow/traffic management in the Creekside Green/Kuykendahl area (as requested by Chairman Bunch);]

AGENDA ITEM? >> IF NOT, WILL MOVE ON TO AN AGENDA ITEM. AN UPDATE FOR HARRIS COUNTY HARRIS DEPARTMENT REGARDING TRAFFIC FLOWING CREEKSIDE GREEN.

[INDISCERNIBLE] SO, WHILE WE WAIT FOR THEM TO GET SET UP, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST BOARD AGENDA ITEM THAT WE FOUND THIS TOPIC. WE HAD ONE THIS PAST SUMMER.

AND THIS IN JULY, WE HAD THIS AGENDA ITEM SET BEFORE GRADY WAS INJURED AT YESTERDAY'S INTERSECTION.

SO, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOWARDS THIS.

I KNOW THAT IN THE SUMMER WE WERE ASKED ABOUT CROSSING GUARDS AND AN ISSUE WITH EQUIPMENT FOR IT MYSELF AND DIRECTOR MILNER. OFFERED TO PERSONALLY PURCHASE THE EQUIPMENT. SO THAT THEY COULD START THE CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM. AND MAYBE DIRECTOR MILNER, YOU MIGHT WANT TO THIS ISSUE MORE DIRECT CONVERSATIONS WITH THE

SCHOOL DISTRICT. >> ACTUALLY, WHEN I TALKED TO TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE RISK MANAGER. THEY WOULD NOT SUPPORT THE SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD. INTO THAT INTERSECTION.

THEY DID NOT WANT IT HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO IT AND DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. THAT'S IT AS RECENT AS LAST WEEK. THEY ACTUALLY MADE THE COMMENT TO ME THAT THE INTERSECTION IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS. AND AFTER THAT COMMENT WAS MADE TO ME, I LET THE PHONE BE SILENT FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND I ASKED THE INDIVIDUAL IF YOU REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT HE JUST SAID. IT'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS, THEN WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT SEVENTH, EIGHTH, NINTH GRADERS WERE TRYING TO NAVIGATE THE INTERSECTION.

>> I PREVIOUSLY ASKED THE STAFF TO BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA TO START THE CONVERSATIONS WITH CONSTABLE HERMAN'S OFFICE TO PUT EITHER OFF-DUTY OR FULL-TIME UNIFORM CONSTABLES AT THE INTERSECTION. IN THIS CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN GOING ON. I DO BELIEVE THAT I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH JIM CARMEN AS RECENTLY AS THIS MORNING.

AND HOWARD HUGHES IS WILLING TO ENGAGE IN ANY WAY THAT THEY CAN TO HELP FACILITATE THE PROGRESS THIS INTERSECTION AND I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HEAR TONIGHT FROM COMMISSIONER CAGLE'S OFFICE. I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN NUMEROUS MEETINGS WITH THE TOMBALL SCHOOL DISTRICT IN COMMISSIONER CAGLE.I'VE HAD PHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH DOCTOR SUBSEQUENT MINUTES OVER 45 RESIDENTS.

INCLUDING STEPHANIE OVER THIS ISSUE OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

AND WHILE IT'S SAD THAT ANOTHER INCIDENT HAPPENED AT THE INTERSECTION, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO'D BEEN TRYING TO GET THINGS TO IMPROVE THIS INTERSECTION AND MAKE IT SAFER.

AND I BELIEVE THAT DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE COUPLE OF DAYS TOO LATE, WE ARE REACHING A CULMINATION WHERE WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE A PROPOSAL AND PLAN AND IDEAS ON HOW TO MAKE THE INTERSECTION SAFER FOR RESIDENTS AND THE STUDENTS THAT NAVIGATE BACK AND FORTH EAST TO WEST.OCTOR SCHNEIDER AND DOCTOR HIBBS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH MEETINGS WITH COMMISSIONER CAGLE'S OFFICE PAIRED WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WITH HOWARD HUGHES PEOPLE. SO, IN HE BACKGROUND, THERE'VE BEEN NUMEROUS MEETINGS GOING ON REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE HAD A YOUNG MAN INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT THIS WEEK.HILE ALL OF THESE ÃÃTHIS HAS ALL BEEN IN THE PROCESS. I DO WANT TO STATE THAT I DID LEARN THAT INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES PAY FOR THE SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS AT CREEKSIDE ÃÃAT THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE.HEY HAVE SEEN FROM BEING INTERESTED IN PAYING FOR SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS AT EITHER TIMBER CREEK OR THE JUNIOR HIGH.I AM NOT GONNA STOP THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT.UT I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS RESIDENTS. I CAN EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW THEY GOT THE SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD TAKING CARE OF IT.

I CREEKSIDE. IN A BUNCH OF PARENTS AND WHEN I SAY BUNCH, AS A BUNCH. WENT TO THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE AND HAD THAT CONVERSATION.

WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT ACTUALLY DID AGREE TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF HER BUDGET AND NOT AND ALSO HAD A CONVERSATION WITH TIS THE ABOUT THE POLICE FORCE.

>> I DID. >> AND IT WAS A DIFFERENT SUPERINTENDENT, BUT THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED, RIGHT? IT DID. AND I ALSO HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THEM ABOUT THE POLICE FORCE.

I'VE SAID AT THE INTERSECTION IN FRONT OF THEIR HIGH SCHOOL

[02:00:02]

AND YET, THEY HAVE SHOWN NO. I KNOW THEY DO.

>> YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION.

>> I DO UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION.

I'VE HAD NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS WITH EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN THIS. DON'T SIT THERE AND TELL ME I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS.

HE DID LET ME FINISH SAYING THAT THE REASON WHY THAT THEY WON'T PROVIDE CONTROL IS BECAUSE IT'S NOT UNDER THEIR JURISDICTION.T'S THE CITY OF TAMPA.

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOESN'T DO IT.

IF YOU LET ME FINISH. I'D BE HAPPY TO CLEAR THAT UP.

BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD ON THIS IN THE BACKGROUND WHETHER YOU WANT TO ADMIT IT OR YOU WANT TO ADMIT IT BUT THAT'S OKAY. BUT THEY HAVE BEEN.

AND THERE'S BEEN NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS.

I SAID AT THE INTERSECTION OVER 10 TIMES WITH PARENTS.

KEEPING TRACK OF HOW MANY CARS RAN THE RED LIGHTS.

THE LOOK? TYPICALLY BUT NOT ME.

OKAY? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME.O, WE CANNOT REALLY HAVE DIALOGUE WITH THE AUDIENCE AT THE AT

THIS TIME. >> SHARPER.

>> I DID HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO CONSTABLE COMMENT YESTERDAY. AND WE AS A TOWNSHIP HAVE SET THE PRESIDENT AND PAST WITH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

WE HAVE SUPPLIED A NUMBER OF THINGS.

WE HAVE SUPPLIED TRAINING FOR CSI D. WE PROVIDED EDUCATION AND FLASHING SIGNS. SUPPLIES.

AND ALL OF THIS HAPPENED UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF ENHANCING SAFETY FOR OUR STUDENTS. WE ALSO AS A TOWNSHIP PAID FOR THE NEW SCHOOL ZONE SIGNS ON TIMBER CREEK ELEMENTARY.

WITH CONSTABLE HERMAN SHARED WITH ME YESTERDAY WAS THE THEY WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING IF THIS BOARD WOULD APPROVE IT, DO A CONTRACT WITH US IN AN INTERIM ORDER TO ADDRESS THE NEED RIGHT NOW. DURING A SCHOOL ZONE AREA.

TO BETTER PROTECT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE GOING TO AND FROM

SCHOOL. >> ALL RIGHT.

LET'S HEAR FROM THE ENGINEER FROM COMMISSIONER CAGLE'S OFFICE. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE ROAD BELONGS TO HARRIS COUNTY.

THE ROAD BELONGS TO COMMISSIONER CAGLE'S.

OFFICE. THE ROADWAYS.

>> IS THE HARRIS COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

BUT THE ROAD BELONGS TO COMMISSIONER CAGLE'S OFFICE.

IF IT'S ON A TOWNSHIP ROAD, WE CANNOT UNILATERALLY CHANGE SPEED LIMITS BUT WE HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO CHANGE SPEED THAN THIS. SO, I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE A SOMETHING TO PRESENT, IT'S WHAT YOU'VE GOT PUT TOGETHER.

>> FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME BACK. WAS HERE AND OF LATE JULY. AND I ALSO ATTENDED THE CREEKSIDE MEETING BACK WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED BACK IN MAY.

AND I LISTEN TO ALL THE RESIDENTS.

AND YOUR CONCERNS. SO.

>> COULD YOU GIVE ME YOUR NAME? >> WHEN IT WAS TINA.

AND WITH THE HARRIS COUNTY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.

TRAFFIC DESIGN AND OPERATIONS GROUP.

SO, WE INITIATED A TRAFFIC STUDY AT THE RED CROSS OF COMMISSIONER CAGLE TO EVALUATE INTERSECTION.

I UNDERSTAND THAT ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR US TO CONDUCT A STUDY. AN INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED IN MAY. WE DID HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SCHOOL TO KIND OF COME BACK TO EVALUATE AND GET TRAFFIC CAMS. SEE WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING AT THE INTERSECTION WITH SCHOOLS IN SESSION.O MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING YOU KNOW, THE BEST SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS RECOMMENDATION BASED OFF OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS DURING SCHOOL.

SO, WE PROVIDED A RECOMMENDATION, WHAT YOU ARE SEEING YESTERDAY AND TODAY. WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SCHOOLS ON JUST AS WE DID RECOMMEND EXTENDING THE EXISTING SCHOOL ZONES. KIRKENDALL THE INTERSECTION IS GOING TO BE INCORPORATED AS PART OF THE SCHOOL ZONE.

AND WE ARE ALSO INSTALLING SCHOOLS AND FLASHERS.

ALONG WITH BOTH CREEKSIDE AS WELL AS MY GOSH.LL THE WAY TO THE WEATHER. THAT'S THE TRACK.

STACK. SO, WE ARE EXTENDING THE SCHOOL ZONE AND HAVING THE ENTIRE SEGMENT AND INCORPORATED AS PART OF ONE SCHOOL ZONE. AS WELL AS THE EXTENSION OF THE SCHOOL ZONE KIRKENDALL. WE ALSO AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, AFTER THE INCIDENT, WE DID A SAFETY HEALTH CHECK OF THE INTERSECTION. WE DID MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE OVERALL OPERATION OF THE SIGNAL PER THAT IS A SHORT-TERM IMPROVEMENT THAT WE DID IMPLEMENT.

I DID SOME PHASING WITH THE PEDESTRIAN.

WHAT WE CALL ELITE PEDESTRIAN INTERVAL.

WHICH ALLOWS A PEDESTRIAN TO ENTER INTO THE INTERSECTION.

PRIOR TO GETTING AGREEMENT. HOPEFULLY DRIVERS WILL SEE THE PEDESTRIAN CENTER. AND THEN CROSSWALK MARKINGS.

[02:05:03]

THE BIGGEST ONE IS THE GEOMETRIC IMPROVEMENTS IN KIRKENDALL. BUT WE DID NOTICE AND WE FOCUSEDON THE EVALUATION. THIS CAN HAVE A DRIVER EXPECTANCY THAT YOU DON'T REALLY GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE OF THE BUYER FOR CASE IN.

IMPROVE THE GEOMETRY OF THE ROAD.

TIGHTEN THE INTERSECTION. SO THAT YOU REALLY CAN PHASE THE INTERSECTION WELL. WE NOTICED PEOPLE DO TEND TO TRY TO SHOOT THE LEFT TURN. HE'S EVEN WAITING AT INTERSECTION FOR SO LONG. BUT, WE DO NOT SEPARATE PHASING BECAUSE OF HOW THE INTERSECTION IS.

DESIGN. SO, BY TIGHTENING UP INTERSECTION, WE CAN KIND OF IMPROVE THE OVERALL SIGNAL OPERATION AND HOPEFULLY REDUCE THAT TENDENCY THE TRIP DRIVERS TRY TO SHOOT FOR. TO TRY TO GET THE GREEN LIGHT FOR MISS THE RED LIGHT. SO, ALL THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO RECOMMEND THAT. THE GEOMETRIC RECOMMENDATION DOES REQUIRE US TO HIRE A CONSULTANT SURVEYOR AND EVERYTHING TO KIND OF GET THAT GOING.

BUT, THE IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENT SEXY YOU ARE SAYING IS THIS INSTALLATION OF THE SCHOOLS AND FLASHERS.

THE EXTENSION AND THE CROSSWALK MARKINGS.ND THEN WHATEVER IMPROVEMENTS WE CAN MAKE OPERATIONALLY TO THE EXISTING SIGNAL IS WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.

>> I'M SORRY.> TECHNICALLY IT'S GONNA COME FROM APPEAR.

OKAY.O, THE HOURS OF BEING EXTENDED THE SCHOOL ZONE AND I QUESTIONS TO ABOUT WHAT A LOT OF THESE KIDS IN JUNIOR HIGH PLAYING AFTER SCHOOLS PORTS IN THE SCHOOL ZONE IS GONE BY THE TIME THEIR WRITING HOME.HAT THE NONSCHOOL ZONE TIMES THAT THINK THAT THERE'S RECOMMENDATION FOR A LOWER SPEED LIMIT REGARDLESS OF ITS SCHOOL TIMES ARE NOT.

DID ANY OF THOSE NEAR-TERM THINGS, PRIOR TO WAITING IN

THIS GEOMETRIC STUDY? >> YES.

ALL THOSE ARE EVALUATED.

HE WAY THAT SCHOOL ZONE WORKS IS THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT ACTIVITY KIND OF GOING ON CONSISTENTLY IN ORDER FOR PEOPLE TO REALLY ADHERE TO IT. WHEN YOU START EXTENDING SCHOOL ZONES FOR TOO LONG, PEOPLE TEND TO IGNORE IT.

SO, WE TRY REALLY HARD NOT TO HAVE VERY LONG SCHOOL ZONE TIMES. BUT, MAKE IT SO THAT YOU HAVE THAT LEHMAN TRAFFIC GOING TO KIND OF GEARED TOWARDS AND GET

PEOPLE TO SLOW DOWN. >> WHAT ABOUT THE SPEED LIMIT MODIFICATION.IGHT NOW ONE OF OUR SPEAKERS MENTIONED THAT IS A 45 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT NEAR THERE.

AND THAT THERE'S A 40. A LOT OF RESIDENTS REALLY THINK THAT SHOULD BE LOWER THAN THAT. LIKE 35 ALL THE WAY AROUND THAT SECTION WHERE THERE'S SO MUCH DENSITY.

>> SO, WE DID CONDUCT A SPEED ANALYSIS.

AND AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE USED A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE DID TO EVALUATE.E LOOK AT THE 85TH PERCENTILE TO THE DRIVER EXPECTANCY IS MORE THE DRIVING ON THE ROAD.

>> AND YOU ELABORATE? WE MEAN DRIVER EXPECTANCY.

THESE PEOPLE COMING FROM FAR AWAY? AND DON'T KNOW THAT THEY ARE COMING INTO A HIGH DENSITY AREA? WE MEAN?

>> WELL, YOUR ÃÃ [INDISCERNIBLE] WHEN YOU ARE ÃTHAT'S WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER LIKE DRIVER EXPECTANCY, WHEN YOU DRIVE DOWNTOWN INTO THE CITY.

THAT DENSITY AND ROADWAY JAM AND EVERYTHING.

YOU TEND TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE OBSTACLES AROUND YOU TO KIND OF MAKE YOU SLOW DOWN.

KIRKENDALL ROAD ÃÃIT'S WIDE OPEN.

FOR THE MOST PART. YOUR DRIVER EXPECTANCY IS TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE 4045 MILES AN HOUR.

AND SO DURING WE EVALUATE THE 85TH PERCENTILE.

THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA. WHAT IS THE EXPECTATION.

IT BASED OFF OF THOSE EVALUATIONS, AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND TO REDUCE THE SPEED.

IT IS CONSISTENT. THE 85TH PERCENTILE IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT DRIVERS DRIVING IN THE ROADWAY.

SO, KEEPING IT 45 MILES AN HOUR IS WHAT WE RECOMMEND.

WE DO RECOMMEND THAT THE CONSTABLE'S OFFICE BE PRESENT TO REALLY ENFORCE AND GET ISSUE TICKETS AND GET PEOPLE TO SLOW DOWN. AS OPPOSED TO PRODUCING THE

SPEED THEM UP. >> TINA, A QUESTION WOULD BE LET'S SAY THE PEOPLE WHO RESIDE HERE.

RIGHT? I THINK YOU HAVE HEARD MOST OF THE FEEDBACK FROM TONIGHT'S MEETING.

IF THE CONSENSUS OF THE COMMUNITY IS AN ACCEPTANCE FOR 35 MILE AN HOUR SPEED THEM REDUCTION WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE TOWNSHIP PORTION OF KIRKENDALL.

THROUGH THE ENTRANCE INTO CREEKSIDE THROUGH THE EXITING THROUGH THE BIFURCATED PART OF KIRKENDALL.

[02:10:07]

COULDN'T? >> AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE FOLLOW THE TEXAS MANUAL CONTROL DEVICES.

KINDA DICTATES HOW WE EVALUATE SPEED ZONES.

SPEED LIMITS. AND SO, THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE EVALUATING AGAINST. BASED OFF OF OTHER CRITERIA.

SO, TECHNICALLY THE WAY THAT IT'S WRITTEN, YOU SHOULD HAVE AN ENGINEERING STUDY TO VALIDATE YOUR POSTED SPEED

LIMIT. >> WHAT IF THE JUSTICE WITH THE COUNTY WHERE THE HOWARD HUGHES TRIED TO WIDEN KIRKENDALL? WOULD THAT INCREASE THE SPEED OR FURTHER SUPPORT THE SPEED? OR IS IT BECAUSE MAYBE MORE COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE BUILT UP AROUND THE? WOULD THAT FORCE A REDUCTION IN

SPEED?>> SO, THE MORE WHAT WE TYPICALLY SEE THE MORE DEVELOPMENT AND AREA, THE MORE TRAFFIC YOU CAN CANDIDATES BE TO LOWER DOWN.

ECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE VOLUME. COOKS OR THE ACCIDENTS? WHAT HAPPENED? THE REALITY OF WHAT HAPPENED.

DOES THAT NOT HAVE A BEARING ON THE DETERMINATION OF SPEED?

>> FOR WHAT THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED THAT IS IN THE INTERSECTION RELATED. NOT SPEED RELATED.

>> I THINK IT'S PART OF A DIFFERENT CYCLE TIME.

NONSCHOOL TIME. THE SPEED IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE.

VERY LOW SLIGHTLY. RADIUS IS AND THERE'S ISSUES IN THE INTERSECTION. SO, UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT REQUEST IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE HEARD NUMEROUS TIMES ON HOW THAT CAN BE REDUCED. CAN YOU AT LEAST SHARE WITH THE FAMILIES THAT ARE HERE. THE HOURS OF THE SCHOOLS AND THAT YOU'VE DETERMINED? I DON'T SEE THE ON THE SLIDE

DECK. >> I DO NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION. WITH ME RIGHT NOW.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, WITH THE TWO SCHOOLS, THERE ARE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS ON TIMINGS WITH THE TWO DIFFERENT SCHOOL ZONES.

SO, WE HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT IT BE ONE CONTINUOUS SCHOOL ZONE.

SO TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, YOU WILL HAVE A LONGER SCHOOL ZONE BECAUSE OF COMBINING BOTH OF THEM.

IT'S NOT SUPERLONG THAT A DRIVER ENTERING INTO THE INTERSECTION ISN'T GOING TO YOU KNOW, KIND OF DISMISS IT BECAUSE OF THEIR PRESENT OR THAT IS SCHOOL TRAFFIC.

THIS KIND OF NEEDED THERE TO GET PEOPLE TO SLOW DOWN.

>> HAVE A QUESTION. >> THROUGH THE ALL SCHOOL SCHOOL TIMES OR BEFORE SCHOOL WHEN STUDENTS GO TO A SCHOOL FOR EARLY ACTIVITIES OR AFTERSCHOOL, AS THE RECENT WHY SOMEONE MENTIONED FROM THE AUDIENCE, TO PUSH BUTTONS AND THAT CREATE THESE STROBE LIGHTS ALONG THE CROSSING IN THE INTERSECTION? WHICH WOULD AT LEAST BRING MUCH MORE AWARENESS TO ALL SCHOOL ZONE TIMES FOR THE INTERSECTION IF PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY JUST A STABLE LEGAL RIGHT TO CROSS.

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S DARK. THOSE STROBE SYSTEMS STAND OUT VERY WELL. SO, IS THE REASON WHY WE HAVE NOT LOOKED AT OR ARE NOT GOING TO CONSIDER DOING THAT?

>> SO CROSSING OUTSIDE OF AN INTERSECTION IS NOT CONTROLLED, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT AND EVALUATE.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A SIGNAL YOU ALREADY HAVE DRIVER EXPECTANCY TO BE LOOKING AT THE LAKE.

NOT FOR ADDITIONAL FLASHERS OR ANYTHING ON THE SIDE.

YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE DISTRACTING DRIVERS TOO MUCH.

BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE FOCUSING PON THE INTERSECTION.

THERE WERE LIGHTS ARE TURNING RED YELLOW AND GREEN.

SO, IT'S THE SAME THING WITH SIGNINGS.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE PUTTING TOO MUCH SIGNAGE OUT THERE WORD STARTS TO GET EITHER A DISTRACTION OR DRIVERS TEND TO NOT PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MANY.

>> ,TALK ABOUT THE SIGNAGE, I'M TALKING ABOUT ACTUALLY ON THE LINES ON THE STREET. THERE ARE MANY HIGH PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY. SCOTTSDALE ARIZONA.

RECKENRIDGE. NEW YORK CITY.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THAT, WHEN PEDESTRIANS PUSH THE BUTTON, STROBE LIGHT UP AND ACTUALLY ON THE LENS.

>> WE TALK ABOUT THE MARKERS ON THE PAVEMENT.

>> THE FLASH ON AND OFF. AND IT BRINGS GREAT AWARENESS TO PEOPLE FROM VEHICULAR TRAFFIC TO THE INTERSECTION.

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S AT NIGHT. YOU CAN SEE THAT FROM 50 YARDS AWAY THAT THOSE STROBES ARE FLASHING IN THE CROSSING ZONE.

>> THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE A SEPARATE KIND OF DISCUSSION.

AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, THAT IS NOT SOMETHING WE TYPICALLY WOULD RECOMMEND. MAINLY BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THERE

[02:15:03]

AND THEN YOU GET ALSO INTO EXPECTANCY.

PEDESTRIANS EXPECTED TO BE WORKING ALL THE TIME.

AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK ONE TIME, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN MAYBE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION.

BUT IT'S NOT PART OF OUR VALUATION.

>> HAVE WE LOOKED AT AND COSTED OUT PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AT THE INTERSECTION? IT'S CAN BE A PRETTY GOOD SPAN.

HAVE WE LOOKED AT THAT? >> YES.

>> NO. >> I THINK THAT'S DISTANT

HOWARD HUGHES. >> DID.

MR. POWERS COME AND ADDRESS IT. I KNOW.

>> JOHN KNOWS EVERYTHING. SO IF EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW,

JOHN. >> BACK IN MAY WE DID A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF JUST COST.

NOT FEASIBILITY IF IT ACTUALLY FIT.

BUT THE MINIMUM IS 1.1 MILLION. >> WHAT WERE THOSE ISSUES WITH

THE UP AND DOWN. >> ULTIMATE THE FEASIBILITY OF ACTUALLY MAKING IT FIT. FOR THE CONFIGURATION OF THE INTERSECTION AND PRIVATE PROPERTY.

THAT MIGHT HAVE TO BE INVOLVED TO MAKE IT ACTUALLY WORKED.

>> WITH THE MINIMUM IS TO PUT A FOOTPRINT DOWN ON THE GROUND

WHERE IT WOULD BE STARTING 1.1. >> THAT'S OF COURSE, IT'S COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY IN BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTHBOUND LANES.

AND I KNOW THAT THE SIGHTLINES ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH æ

>> SORRY? >> IS NOT COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY IN THE MIDDLE THE INTERSECTION. IT'S JUST BEFORE THE SPLIT.

>> OKAY, FINE. IF IT'S JUST A SINGLE SPAN, THAT WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO STAY IN THE AREA WHERE WE HAD COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC AND PROBABLY COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY, WHICH WOULD'VE MEANT, BUT DOWN TO THE AREA AS WELL.

OBVIOUSLY IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE THAT SORT OF CROSSING.

I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT ÃÃYOU KNOW, FOR $20.1 MILLION FROM $1.1 BILLION. WE NEED TO FIND OUT IF IT'S FEASIBLE AND IF THERE'S A PLACE TO PUT IT.

TO MAKE IT WORK. I THINK IT'S ONE THING AND ABSOLUTELY HAS TO BE STUDIED. YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS IN 30 DAYS.ECAUSE UP TO DO AN ENGINEERING STUDY TO FIND OUT WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOESN'T WORK. IT MAY NOT BE CONTIGUOUS TO THE INTERSECTION. IT MIGHT JUST BE A SITUATION WHERE IT HAS TO BE LOCATED HUNDRED YARDS OR 200 YARDS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION.

IN ORDER TO GET THIS DONE. BUT WITH THE PATHWAY CONNECTORS, THAT REALLY SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE.

THE REAL ISSUE IS GETTING THE KIDS ACROSS IT ON A VERY BUSY THOROUGHFARE WITHOUT BEING ENDANGERED.

SO. >> GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS HERE.

WHEN WILL YOU ALL MAKE A DECISION BASED ON WHAT YOU HAVE RECOMMENDED SO FAR?> AS IT STANDS, NO PRECINCT FLOOR HAS MOVED FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

THEY ARE WORKING AGAINST THE GEOMETRIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT DOES REQUIRE A CONSULTANT TO COME UP AN ENGINEERING CONSULTANT TO COME ON BOARD TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW, WE MAKE IMPROVEMENTS AND DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS.

BUT, FOR WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, THE CROSSWALKS ARE BEING DONE. SCHOOLS FLASHERS TO BE DONE.

HOPEFULLY BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH AND THE GOAL, WE HAD ISSUES WITH GETTING MATERIALS. I AM SURE EVERYBODY'S AWARE PRINT SUPPLY AND DEMAND ISSUES ARE FOR INDUSTRY.

BUT, WE GOT THE SCHOOLS AND FLASHERS.

WE'RE WORKING TO PUT THEM IN. SO, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS OUTSIDE THE GEOMETRIC IMPROVEMENTS.

THE OTHER THING I WOULD DO AND DO WANT TO KNOW.

I DID HAVE THAT LITTLE BUG OUT THERE THAT SAYS TRAVEL SAFELY.

SO, OUR SCHOOLS AND FLASHER BEGINS AND ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE MODEM THAT DOES ALERT DRIVERS HAVE THE APP ON THE PHONE. WHEN THEY ARE ENTERING INTO A SCHOOL ZONE. IT DOES REQUIRE YOU TO DOWNLOAD THE APP. BUT, DOES ALERT YOU THAT YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THE SCHOOL ZONE.

SO, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT PROMOTES WITH THE SCHOOLS AND TO TRY TO GET MORE PEOPLE TO DOWNLOAD THE APP.

THE OTHER THING IS WITH THAT SAME APPLICATION, WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS DOING A PILOT PROJECT.

OF ENHANCING INTERSECTION NOTIFICATIONS.

WHICH MAY ALERT DRIVERS ABOUT UDO WHEN LIGHTS ARE ABOUT TO TURN RED AND TURN GREEN. IF THERE'S A PEDESTRIAN AT THE CROSSWALK. IS THERE A BICYCLIST IN THE CROSSWALK? BUT, A LOT OF THAT DOES INVOLVE YOU KNOW, HAVING THE APP ON ALL PARTIES IN ORDER FOR IT TO REALLY WORK. BUT, IT IS SOMETHING WE ARE LOOKING TOWARDS TO USE TECHNOLOGY TO TRY AND ENHANCE

SAFETY THE BEST THAT WE CAN. >> RIGHT NOW, MIKE, CAN I ASK YOU TO COME UP? SORRY RUBY.

>> MAERSK COUNTY CONSTABLE PRECINCT.

[02:20:01]

>> RIGHT NOW, WE ALREADY HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THE HARRIS COUNTY CONSTABLE'S PRECINCT WITH THE CURRENT FOCUS REALLY HAVE UNDER CONTRACT. AND WE GET PEOPLE OUT THERE TO MONITOR THESE INTERSECTIONS. IN THE NEAR TERM.

>> OKAY, YES. THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM AS FAR ÃÃ WE'VE GOT THE PERSONNEL TO DO THAT AS FAR AS THE DEPARTMENT.

AS FAR AS DOING ON DUTY, IT WOULD BE VERY CHALLENGING.

BECAUSE AS I SAID COMMENCING THINK ABOUT SIX DEPUTIES TO WORK THAT WHOLE INTERSECTION. BECAUSE OF THE SIZE THAT IT IS.

THAT I DON'T ÃÃTHAT WOULD TAKE EVERYTHING I HAVE.

I MEAN, WE CANNOT RUN DOS. SO, THE ONLY WAY WE CAN DO THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE SIMILAR TO LIKE WHAT WE'VE DONE BEFORE.

WHERE YOU WORK AS AN EXTRA JOB. AND THEN SETS OFF DUTY OFFICERS WORKING THE INTERSECTION. AND THEN AT THAT WAY, THE PATROL DEPUTIES CAN BE OUT THERE RUNNING THEIR CALLS YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OF SERVICE. ECAUSE I CAN'T JUST TEST US WE CANNOT HAVE THAT HAPPEN. SO, THIS KIND OF HOW THAT WOULD

WORK. >> WE COULD DO ÃÃSORRY

CHAIRMAN. >> THE EARLY HAVE TO BE AN ESTABLISHED SCHOOL ZONE FOR YOU GUYS TO REALLY INTERACT WITH INTERSECTION? YOU COULD DO IT NOW WHILE

THERE'S STILL WORKING ON THAT? >> IN THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL FIRST OPENED UP, WE ACTUALLY WORKED THERE FOR A WHILE TO GET PEOPLE KIND OF USE TO THE SCHOOL. AND WE DID THAT FOR A LITTLE BIT. IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OR TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO. RIGHT AFTER THAT.

AND ACTUALLY TEST THIS IS VERY DOABLE.

>> IS ANYBODY CONTACTED YOU GUYS ABOUT THE ENHANCE PATROL

IN THE AREA? >> NOT UNTIL RECENTLY.

NO. NO.

SO æ >> AT THE BEGINNING OF THE

SCHOOL YEAR SO ÃÃAS THE BOOT. >> IS BACK IN AUGUST, YES.

>> AM ASSUMING THAT THIS CANNOT BE A PROPOSAL AT SOME POINT.

THAT HAS TO BE PUT TOGETHER. >> SO, WE POWWOW.

WE ANTICIPATED QUESTIONS. AND AS SERGEANT RUBY IS SPEAKING ABOUT EXTRA JOBS. THOSE ARE TYPICALLY A MINIMUM OF $40 AN HOUR. AS A FOUR HOUR MINIMUM.

TO DO TWO TIMES MORNING AND AFTERNOON.

THAT WOULD BE EIGHT HOURS TIMES 648 HOURS A DAY.

IT'S 9600 A WEEK. >> YES.

>> AND WE HAVE HOW MANY WEEKS? >> THE REMAINDER.

>> 32 WEEKS IN A YEAR. >> 2021 IS THERE.

WE HAVE TWO AND IN SCHOOL IS OUT.

THERE IS THREE AND 2021. WHICH WOULD BE $20,000.

IN 2022 SPRING SEMESTER, THERE'S 21 WEEKS.

WITH $200,000 WITH THE FALL OF 17 WEEKS, THERE'S 263.OUR

TOTAL. >> LESS THAN HALF A MILLION

BUCKS? >> 400,000.

>> I DON'T THINK THERE'S NO REASON WE CAN DO THAT.

>> ARE, THAT'S THE LEAST OF THE IMMEDIATE SOLUTIONS.

AND ONE MORE QUESTION. >> WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT NOT COME ON ÃÃNOT FOR YOU SERGEANT.

>> YOU TALKED ABOUT EXPANDING THE SCHOOL ZONE, BUT I THINK ANOTHER ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS THE TIMING OF THE SCHOOL ZONE. ARE YOU ALSO ADDRESSING THAT?

>> YES. >> YOU CAN EXPAND THE TIME FOR

THEM ALSO? >> BECAUSE A LOT OF KIDS ARE ALREADY AT SCHOOL WHEN THEIR OUT HOURS AFTER.

IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT $400,000 BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, JUST TO PROVIDE MANPOWER, IT STOOD STILL GROWING COST-EFFECTIVE IT WILL $0.1 MILLION.

LESS THAN A TWO YEAR PAYBACK. SO, THE QUESTION IS WHERE CAN WE PUT IT? AND CAN WE DO? SO, I THINK IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE ANSWER IS A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AT THAT LOCATION? IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT'S GOING TO GIVE YOU COVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.N A? ASSUMING PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE IT.

PBUT, WE WILL GIVE YOU COURAGE FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

WILL NOT BE LIMITED TO THE SCHOOL HOURS THAT IS SET BY THE COUNTY OR THE ISPS.T'S THE OBVIOUS RIGHT ANSWER.

SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE NEED TO DO?

>> I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS PROBABLY IN THE INTERIM, I THINK WE NEED TO GREENLIGHT THE REMAINDER OF THE SCHOOL YEAR FOR THE OFF DUTIES OKAY? [APPLAUSE] AND THEN START THE FEASIBILITY ENGAGEMENT WITH ALL THE RELATED PARTIES FOR THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AND OF COURSE WE WILL HAVE TO DESIGN SOMETHING THAT ACCOMMODATES BIKES BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GONNA CARRY BIKES OF STAIRCASES. OR AT LEAST MOST KIDS AREN'T.

[02:25:04]

>> WOULD HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT CAPABLE RAMP ON BOTH ENDS.

YOU CANNOT BUT ONE WITHOUT IT. UNDER FEDERAL LAW, YOU PAY THE IMPOSSIBLE.> I THINK THE ONE GROUP IN SMALL, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, NOT TO TODAY'S CODE. SO, IF WE WERE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT, WE WOULD HAVE TO BRING UP TO CODE.

I THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT PATH. WE GIVE COVERAGE WHILE WE ARE WORKING ON A 24 SEVEN SOLUTION. WHICH IS THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE.

>> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WERE ENGAGING WITH YOU GUYS AND THIS HAD BEEN COMING UP IN THE PAST.

TO ME, THE FIRST THING I WAS ASKED FOR HIS CROSSING GUARDS.

AND THAT'S WHEN WE OFFERED THE FUNDING FOR THEIR CROSSING GUARDS. I HAD UNTIL ACTUALLY THIS WEEK.

I HAD NOT BEEN TOLD THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS REFUSING TO SPONSOR OR TO HAVE AS A QUALIFIED CROSSING WITH

CROSSING GUARDS. >> ARGENTINA, YOU ARE BACK.

>> I'M BACK.> THIS GEO WHATEVER.

>> TO GO. >> GEOMETRIC STUDY, WE DESIGNED THIS INTERSECTION WHO CREATED THIS ISSUE?> WE SHOULD START WITH THAT. WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?

>> MY BOSS PROBABLY COULD GIVE ME LIKE A SOAP OPERA BOX ABOUT THIS INTERSECTION. BUT, IT WOULD BE THE DEVELOPER THAT CAME IN AND BUILT BASICALLY THE WOODLANDS.

SHE RECOMMENDED AND DESIGNED THAT INTERSECTION.

THEY'VE ACTUALLY BUILT IT. OKAY.

ALRIGHT SO, YOUR GEOMETRIC JUSTICE THERE ARE A FEW MORE

WORDS TOO. >> RIGHT.

>> WHAT IS HERE AND AGAIN, WE WILL NEED TO HAVE AN ENGINEER TO COME IN AND REALLY DO A SURVEY AND ASSESSMENT OF WHAT WE PHYSICALLY CANNOT DO. THE BIGGEST THING FOR US IS TIGHTENING UP THOSE LEFT TURN LANES.

THE WAY THAT THOSE LEFT TURN LANES ARE CONSTRUCTED RIGHT NOW IS AGAIN GOING BACK TO THE DRIVER EXPECTANCY.

YOU TEND TO PUSH FORWARD INTO THE CROSSWALK.

AND YOU KNOW, WE DON'T NECESSARILY PAY ATTENTION TO WHETHER OR NOT THE PEDESTRIANS ARE IN THE AIR.

WE ALSO RECOMMENDED A RADIUS IMPROVEMENT ON THE NORTH EAST CORNER AND TIGHTENING THAT UP. ECAUSE WHAT WOULD NOTICE IS IT'S A LIE TO A POINT WHERE PEOPLE JUST MAKE RIGHT TURNS FREELY. BY TIGHTENING THAT UP, IT ENFORCES DRIVERS TO LOOK FOR PEDESTRIANS IN THE CORNER.

THIS FOR MOST OF THE STUDENTS ARE COMING FROM.

COMING FROM A CORNER CROSSING MAKING THAT UP.

BY BUILDING AND TIGHTENING UP THE CORNER, IT WILL HELP REDUCE THEIR FREE RIGHT TURN MOVEMENT. AS WELL AS BY TIGHTENING UP THE LEFT TURN LANES. SHE ALSO IMPROVES THE SIGNAL OPERATION BECAUSE SHE CAN OPERATE THEM AND FACE THEM AT THE SAME TIME. AND THA REDUCES FRUSTRATIONS ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF HAVING TO SET THAT LIGHT FOR SO LONG AND THEN TRY TO YOU KNOW, PRESS THE GAS TO TRY AND MISS OR YOU KNOW, GET PAST THAT INTERSECTION.

THOSE ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE HAVE.

THE KIND OF REALLY IMPROVE THAT INTERSECTION.

WE'RE STILL KEEPING THE PEDESTRIAN REFUGE AND THE MEETINGS. SO IF A STUDENT KIND OF MISSES OR GAUGES IT, THEY HAVE A REFUGE IN THE MEETING TO STOP.

THE HIGH VISIBILITY CROSSWALK, WE DO RECOMMEND REMOVING THE CROSSWALK ON THE WEST LEG. OF CREEKSIDE.

THERE IS CURRENTLY CROSSWALK BUT NO SIDEWALKS RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE NOT THERE AND WE'RE INCREASING THE VISIBILITY.

EVENTUALLY WHEN WE BRING THE INTERSECTION AND TIGHTEN UP THE INTERSECTION, THE CROSSWALK WILL GO AWAY.

SO, I TRY AGAIN AND TRY TO FOCUS THE PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY ON THE TWO LEGS AND KEEP THE STUDENTS WERE WE WOULD LIKE

THEM TO CROSS. >> LOOKING AT YOUR DIAGRAM THERE, THAT DIAGONAL LINE THAT IS COMING SOUTH ON KIRKENDALL, THE DIAGONAL LINE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO TURN LEFT ON GOING EAST TO CREEKSIDE GREEN, THAT IS A VERY UNUSUAL THING FOR ME.

I æ >> TAKEN AWAY.

>> PARDON? TAKEN AWAY?

>> THAT GOES INTO TIGHTENING THAT INTERSECTION.

PRACTICE WHAT YOU MEAN BY TIGHTENING?

VERY HAZARDOUS. >> AGAIN, THAT GOES BACK TO THE DRIVER, YOU'RE NOT REALLY EXPECTING THAT TO GO BACK.

[02:30:02]

THE SIGNAL HEADS WINDOWS VISTA TURN.ND EXTEND THAT.

I DID NOTICE THAT THERE'S A GOOD AMOUNT OF SOUTHBOUND YOU TURN MOVEMENTS. KIRKENDALL.

SO, WE ALSO MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS IN RECOMMENDING SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RADIUS THAT HELP FACILITATE THAT.

NOT SUPPOSED TO THE POINT WHERE YOU'RE KIND OF ENTERING INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE AND YOU DON'T REALLY CARE IF YOU GET A GREEN LIGHT. JUST TO THE TURF.

BY MAKING THE ADJUSTMENTS TO THAT, WE CAN HOPEFULLY CONTROL

LITTLE BIT BETTER. >> THANK YOU.

>> WITH THE PAINTED LINES THAT YOU'RE PUTTING OUT, DO YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO ADD SOME OF THOSE LARGER REFLECTORS? THE FLASHING LIGHT ON DEMAND WITH THE CROSSING WOULD BE NICE. BUT IN THE INTERIM, THE LARGER FLASHING AND NOT LARGER, LARGER REFLECTING YOU NOT TALKING ABOUT? YOU SEE THEM AT INTERSECTIONS.

KIND OF BUILD AWARENESS THAT YOU ARE GOING INTO WOOD AREA.

AT A BAD TENSION. WOULD ALSO CREATE AN ATTEMPT IS ABILITY OF THE CROSSING CONTRIBUTORS REFLECTED PAIN.

>> YES. >> SPLITTER HAVING NOT TO TALK

ABOUT? >> JUSTICE.> WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT. AND WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION. A LOT OF THOSE ARE NONSTANDARD FOR US.N TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO IT DOES A COUPLE OF THINGS.

IN THE NON-SCHOOLS IN TIME. CHRISTIANIZE EVERY TIME YOU GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND THAT SEARCH CREATING BEHAVIOR FOR PEOPLE TO BE THINKING ABOUT.

THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS INTERSECTION WHEN IT'S NOT A FLASHING SCHOOL ZONE.

AND THEN IT ALSO CREATES A SITE REFLECTOR SITE FURTHER THAN THE REFLECTED PAIN. SO, GIVE YOU A LONGER VISIBILITY OF ACKNOWLEDGING THERE'S AN INTERSECTION AND THEN IT GIVES YOU AN ALL-TIME NOISE REMINDER GOING TO A SPECIAL INTERSECTION. TO ME, IT'S AN EXPENSIVE WAY TO ENHANCE SAFETY IF IT'S FEASIBLE.

>> UNDERSTOOD. AGAIN, THAT IS SOMETHING WE WANT TO TAKE BACK. ALL OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE ARE PROVIDING AND LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW ARE STANDARD.

WHERE COMPLYING WITH TEAM TC WITH THE HARRIS COUNTY STANDARDS. NONSTANDARD IN MY WE WOULD HAVE

IT MORE. >> NONSTANDARD MEANS YOU WOULD WANT US TO PAY FOR PRETTY FOR NOT AWARE OF THE COBBLESTONE PARTS OF OUR ROADWAYS, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT STANDARD AMENITIES FOR THE COUNTY ROADS.

I DON'T THINK THE REFLECTORS ARE AN EXTREME COST IF YOU ÃÃ IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED IF HE CAN GET US THE TEST IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE

CONSIDERED. >> THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN

TAKE A LOOK AT. >> AND IT'S BEEN A LONG NIGHT.

YOU HAVE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS YOU CAN SHARE WITH US?

>> NO. THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE RECOMMENDING FOR NOW. AND IN A, JUST TO KIND OF EMPHASIZE. HARRIS COUNTY PRESENTING FOR WITH ME RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE AND DID THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS WITH THE IST TO KIND OF YOU KNOW, GET A CROSSING GUARD AT THAT LOCATION. WHICH IS TO IMPLEMENT A CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM. OVERALL.

SO, I DID JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT OVERALL, YOU KNOW, THE HOUSING ENGINEERING ÃAS WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TO TRY AND ADDRESS THE ISSUES AT THE INTERSECTION.

>> I HAVE ONE FOLLOW-UP QUESTION.

YOU TALKED ABOUT SPEED LIMITS EARLIER.

SO, ONE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION IS 45 AND INSIDE OF IT IS 40. YOU GOING TO MAKE BOTH SIDES 40?> BOTH SIDES ARE 40. IT'S FARTHER SOUTH AT 45.

>> GOING NORTH, IF I'M COMING FROM WOODLANDS PARKWAY GOING TOWARDS THE QUICK SIDE DRAIN. IT IS 45.

I JUST ÃÃI DROVE AGAIN YESTERDAY TO THE SHERIFF.

SO, FROM GOING SOUTH, THEREFROM WOODLANDS PARKWAY TO INCREASE ITS IS 45. FROM GOING NORTH FROM CREEKSIDE DRAIN TO WOODLANDS PARKWAY, IT SAYS 40.

SO, THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ALMOST THE VERY SAME.

LOCATION. >> RED ON THE NORTHBOUND SIDE.

IT'S 45 THE SOUTHBOUND SIDE. ON THE NORTHBOUND SIDE, IT'S WHEN CHANGES TO 45. BEGINNING WITH THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE SOUTHBOUND SIDE 40 FROM THE BEGINNING ABOUT WHERE THE FIRE STATION HEB INTERSECTION IS THROUGH THE SCHOOL CROSSING?

[02:35:04]

>> OKAY. SO, I RECOMMENDATION IS 40.

I HAVE IS 40. SO, I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK IF IT'S 45. HAVE IT LISTED AS 40.

TO BE CONSISTENT IN BOTH THE NORTHBOUND AND SOUTHBOUND SIDE.

SO, I APOLOGIZE IF IT WAS. BUT I HAD AS 40.

>> THANK YOU. >> MAYBE THEY JUST IN A CHANGE.

SO, DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF BOTH ACTIONS HAPPENED IN THE SOUTHBOUND OR THE NORTHBOUND FOR THE SPLIT?

>> NO. THE FIRST ACCIDENT BACK IN MAY HAPPENED TO CREEKSIDE GREEN KIRKENDALL.

THE NORTHBOUND EASTBOUND INTERSECTION.

THE MOST RECENT ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE SOUTHBOUND WEST

BEND SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION. >> ALL RIGHT, SO THERE ARE TWO

SEPARATE THREE DIFFERENT. >> REMOVING SCHOOL CROSSING LANE ON CREEKSIDE NORTH TO SOUTH AND SOUTH TO NORTH, WILL ILLUMINATE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING GOING THAT DIRECTION AND THAT'S WHERE THE YOUNG LADY WAS HEADED IN MAY.

AS PART OF THE EFFORT TO PUT THE SIDEWALK IN CHANGE THE TRAFFIC PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC FLOW TO ONE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION. SO, ONCE THEY REMOVE THAT CROSSING LANE, THAT WILL IS AT LEAST IMPEDE PEDESTRIANS FROM CROSSING COULD THERE'S NO SIDEWALKS WERE THERE ACTUALLY

FORCED TO WORK ON THE GRASS. >> OKAY.

I HAVE ONE MORE THING. >> YES?

[LAUGHTER] >> ONLY TO APOLOGIZE TO ICHIRO BECKER FOR MY REACTION TO.'M SORRY AND I APOLOGIZE TO YOU.

OKAY? >> IF I'M MAKE A MOTION?

>> MAY MAKE A COMMENT LONG ON THIS TOPIC PLEASE? SO FOR MANY WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT I DO OUTSIDE OF THE TOWNSHIP BOARD, I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS HERE IN THE WOODLANDS AND.

WHAT IS UNDER MY PURVIEW IS TAKE RECOMMENDATIONS IN RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT UNSAFE ITEMS THAT ARE IN THE BUILDING.

I REVIEW THE FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS USUALLY INCLUDES MORE SIGNAGE. THE MORE MARKERS THE BUILDING.

AND WHAT WE UTILIZE THE WORD IS MITIGATION.

THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM ENGINEERS AS WELL AS THE TOWNSHIP AND RESIDENTS. REALLY OUR MITIGATION.

IN THE END, UNFORTUNATELY, WHICH WE HAVEN'T SAID HERE TONIGHT IS RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY OF ALL OF US WHEN WE ARE BEHIND THE VEHICLE. AND THAT GOES FOR UNSAFE DRIVING. TEXTING, LOUD MUSIC.

WILL NOT YOUNG DRIVERS AND THEIR SHENANIGANS ECHO THE CARS. AND REGARDLESS IF THERE'S A RED LIGHT FLASHING LIGHTS, DOESN'T MATTER.

DISTRACTED DRIVING HAPPENS, IT IS A RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL OF US. AND WE NEED TO TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY WITH TWO ACCIDENTS IN CREEKSIDE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER ACTIONS THAT HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE WOODLANDS MOST RECENTLY I THINK THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS IN VIENNA BY SCHOOL WAS STRUCK AND I BELIEVE HE PASSED AWAY. SO, THIS IS SOMETHING REALLY I HOPE TONIGHT TO ALL OF US IN THIS ROOM AND THIS BOARD TAKE SERIOUSLY. ABOUT DISTRACTED DRIVING.

CANNOT EMPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH. WE CAN DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO MITIGATE DRIVER DISTRACTIONS.

ULTIMATELY THIS ALL THE RESPONSIBLE IT IS.

AND I HOPE THAT WHAT WE DO TONIGHT CAN SAVE ANOTHER CHILD OR ANOTHER RESIDENTS LIFE.

[APPLAUSE] >> OKAY.

I WOULD KIND OF LIKE TO BIFURCATE THIS.

JUST SO WE CAN GET THIS SESSION IT'S A BAD WORD.

>> BIFURCATION. THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO OCCUR.ECEIVE A REPORT.

WHICH IS BASED ON YOUR PRESENTATION.

AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE THAT REPORT BEING RECEIVED IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND YOU CAN CONFIRM THAT IT'S ACTUALLY BEING DONE.

ALREADY APPROVED AND ALREADY FUNDED.

IN PROCESSED AND SHOULD BE VISIBLE TO THE COMMUNITY IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. I HEARD EXTENDING SCHOOLS ON

HOURS. >> THE SCHOOLS ON HOURS.

YOUR COMBINING. >> OR COMBINE THEM WHICH IS A GREAT WAY OF GETTING THEM EXTENDED.

RIGHT? >> IT'S OKAY.

THEY'RE GONNA BE LONGER THAN A NORMAL WORD BECAUSE YOUR COMBINING THE TWO. WE CAN HAVE FLASHING SCHOOLS ON LIGHTS. AND SIGNAGE.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE PAINTED LINES. AND YOU ARE GOING TO CONSIDER MY REFLECTORS IF WE DECIDE TO SHIP IN FOR THAT.

THERE'S THE THREE THINGS THAT WE CAN TAKE WITH TONIGHT THAT THE COUNTY IS IMPLEMENTED RIGHT NOW OR IS THERE SOMETHING

AMISS? >> CHAIRMAN GORDY, CHAIRMAN BUNCH, AGAIN, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT COMBINING THE TIMES, ARE WE GONNA COMBINE THE TIMES TO WHERE THE SCHOOLS AND STARTS AT 7 O'CLOCK? OR CURRENTLY THE WAY THAT IT STARTS AT 7:30 WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT COMBINING.

[02:40:03]

>> SO, WE'RE TAKING THE SCHOOLS ON SO, FOR SCHOOLS AND STARTS AT SEVEN AT ONE SCHOOL AND ANOTHER ANSWER TO 8:30, YOU'RE GONNA SEE A SCHOOLS ON CONTINUOUS FOR SEVEN.

>> FROM 7 TO 8:30? >> OKAY.

>> IT WILL BE LIKE 7 TO 9. >> DEVELOPMENT AT 7:35.

STARTS AT 7:30. FIVE MINUTES OF THE BOARD.

SO PLEASE LOOK AT THAT. >> I THINK SHE WAS GONNA SAY IT WAS 7 AM NOW. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT SCHOOL TAKES PRIORITY. BUT WE CAN TAKE ANOTHER LOOK

AT. >> I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE TAKE THE SCHOOL ZONE STARTS AT SEVEN.

AND MAKE IT THE PRIORITY. BECAUSE TO HER POINT AND TO THE POINT OF THE TIMING, 7:30 DOES NOT MAKE SENSE FOR THE SCHOOLS AND TO START. ANY PERCENT OF THIS COULD SEVERITY CROSS THE INTERSECTION.

AND ONLY TO DO IS GO SIT AT THE INTERSECTION AND WATCH THE NUMBER OF KIDS THAT CROSSES BETWEEN 10| AT 715 TO KNOW THAT PROBABLY 50 TO 60 PERCENT OF THE KIDS ARE ALREADY THERE.

>> UNDERSTOOD. AND WE WILL MAKE THE

ADJUSTMENT. >> THANK YOU.

>> SCHOOLS ON HOURS HAPPENING, YES.

FLASHING SCHOOL ZONE LIKE SANCHEZ.

PAINTING MORE LINES OR 'S.

POSSIBLE REFLECTORS. THOSE ARE THREE THINGS THAT ARE

BEING IMPLEMENTED RIGHT NOW. >> ALSO IMPLEMENTED OPERATIONS ON THE SIGNAL TO KIND OF GET PEDESTRIANS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER INTO THE INTERSECTION BEFORE VEHICLES GET AGREEMENT.

>> SACRALIZATION OPTIMIZATION FOR THE PEDESTRIANS.

>> DESPERATE. >> AND IS THAT GOING TO CONTEMPLATE NOT SCHOOL HOURS AS WELL? BASED ON THE PORTION OF THE BUTTON?

>> THAT WOULD BE AN OVERALL OPERATION FOR THE INTERSECTION,

YES. >> SO, IT'S NOT BE LIMITED TO JUST SCHOOLS ON HOURS. IT WILL BE THE OPERATION FOR

THE INTERSECTION. >> OKAY.

CAN WE GET A MOTION AND A SECOND TO ACCEPT THAT REPORT THE ACTIONS BEING IMPLEMENTED RIGHT NOW BY HARRIS COUNTY

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT? >> SECOND.

>> ON FAVOR SAY I PICKED COCCI. >> IN A POST?

>> CAN ASK ONE MORE QUESTION? >> OF COURSE.

>> HOW'S THE GENERAL LIGHTING OF THE INTERSECTION THAT

ITSELF? >> IN TERMS OF STREETLIGHT?

>> FOR THE INTERSECTION ITSELF, WE HAVE LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION. WITH MULTIPLE STREETLIGHTS THAT LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION.

YOU DO HAVE KIND OF STREET LIGHTING ALONG THE ROADWAYS.

UT, WE WERE SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT LIGHTING AT THE INTERSECTION, IT'S LET, IS PROPERLY LIT.

AND WE WOULDN'T RECOMMEND ANY CHANGES TO THE LEADING OF THE

INTERSECTION. >> OKAY.

I THINK BRUCE, THE LIGHTING AROUND INTERSECTION IS GOOD.

BUT AS YOU COME THROUGH AGB, THE LIGHTING ON BOTH THE SOUTHBOUND SIDE AND THE NORTHBOUND SIDE ARE NOT VERY GOOD, BUT ONCE YOU MAKE THE TURN, WHICH IS 40 OR 50 YARDS AWAY FROM INTERSECTION, THE LIGHTING GETS VERY GOOD AT THE INTERSECTION. IT'S THE APPROACH FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS WERE LIGHTING IS NOT SO GOOD.

>> IT'S A CHALLENGE. >> ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE MY AGE

WHO DRIVE AT NIGHT. >> OKAY.

NOW ON THE TOWNSHIPS ITEM, I THINK ANYONE HOUSE WHO HAD ANY

MORE QUESTIONS FROM A SLEW? >> NO.

>> I KNOW WE HAD YOU HEARD TWICE AND ALSO IN CREEKSIDE FOR MEETING. I NOTE THAT THE RESIDENTS YOU, ARE APPRECIATIVE OF GETTING STUFF ACTUALLY OCCURRING NOW IN REAL TIME. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE UPDATE ON THE GEOMETRIC ENGINEERING REPORT.OR FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT CAN HAPPEN BEYOND THIS INTERIM TIME

PERIOD. >> AND AM GLAD TO BE HERE.

IF SAFETY IS NOT A PRIORITY, WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MAKE THINGS SAFE. SO, I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE.

AND IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A BROCHURE OF HOW THAT PLANTS TRAVEL SAFETY SAFELY APP WORKS, WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT AS WELL COULD.

>> IT DID LEAVE THAT ON THE LIST.

THAT IS SOMETHING OF VALUE. EOPLE HAVE THE APP.

IT'LL PRE-NOTIFY BECOMING UP TO THAT SECTION.> YES, THAT WOULD BE ALL SCHOOL ZONES. THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE ARE TRYING TO IMPLEMENT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

IT'S NOT LIMITED TO JUST THE SCHOOLS IN.

IT'S COUNTY. APPROXIMATELY GET THE TO THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM. THAT IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD

PROMOTE. >> ALL RIGHT MRS. LOU.

ALL RIGHT. NOW I KNOW THAT WE HAVE TOWNSHIP INITIATIVE ACTION ITEMS FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM.

I THINK WE'LL AGREED TO DO THE OFF-DUTY REMAINDER THE OFF-DUTY OFFICERS THE REMAINDER OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

IMPLEMENT A STRATEGY WITH THE CONSTABLE PRESENT FOREIGN OFFICES. AND ENGAGE RELATED PARTIES IN THE FEASIBILITY OF A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING RIDGE.

[02:45:02]

>> SO MOVE. >> SECOND COULD.

>> ON FAVOR SAY I COULD. >> I COULD.

>> ANY POST? EXTENSIONS? PROGRESS, HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS FEEL WE ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

[APPLAUSE] >> THIS MEETING WAS ALREADY SCHEDULED YOU KNOW IN AND FEEL HORRIBLE FOR GRADY AND HIS MOTHER PRAYED THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR HIM AND MAKING THAT CALL. I KNOW I HAVE KIDS.

I THREE BOYS. IN AGES.

AND IT BREAKS A HEART AND MY SON WALKED WITH THE GIRL WHO DIED. THERE'S ALSO LIFEGUARD AT THE CREEKSIDE PARK POOL. AND I KNOW OUR STAFF IS VERY AFFECTED BY THAT. WE WANT OUR COMMUNITY TO BE AS SAFE AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN.

THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS WE CANNOT DO BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY. QUICK AND LOWER THE SPEED LIMIT TO 35 TOMORROW, WE WOULD.UT THAT IS SOMETHING ELSE OUT OF OUR PURVIEW. WE CAN STILL ADVOCATE AND PUSH FOR. SO, HOPEFULLY WE CAN WORK PAST THIS DRIVER EXPECTANCY. I THINK WE WOULD HAVE A LIVABLE

[14. Receive, consider and act upon interviews of candidates and a briefing on the process for appointments to the Development Standards Committee; ]

I APPRECIATE YOU GETTING YOUR PETITION GOING AND COMING TONIGHT. AND WE WILL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 14. A BRIEF IN THE PROCESS AND THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COMMITTEE.

ANYTHING ROSEBURG? >> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOLUNTEER SERVICE.

IT'S GREATLY APPRECIATED. AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. SOME APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE BY THE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COMMITTEE. THROUGH THOSE APPOINTEES ARE WOODLANDS DEVELOPMENT FOLKS WHO ARE NOT TO BE APPOINTED FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY SERVICE AGREEMENT.

THE TERMS OF THE SEVEN APPOINTMENTS STAGGERED TO TWO-YEAR TERMS OF THE SUCCESSOR IS ASSIGNED.

IN DECEMBER 11, 2019, THE BOARD REAPPOINTED JOHN BROWN AND ARTHUR BAILIFF TO THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COMMITTEE. THE BOARD ALSO POINTED ROBIN HEINEMAN, JOHN BROWN, EXCUSE ME.

JOHN BROWN. JOHN ANDERSON.

AND ROBIN HEINEMAN.HANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I WILL BE SORELY MISSED. THAT GUY.

HE'S ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. THE PROCEDURE FOR SOLICITING THE APPOINTED CANDIDATES INCLUDED ADVERTISING FOR THE CANDIDATES IN THE NEWSPAPER ON OUR WEBSITE.

AND SOCIAL MEDIA. THAT WAS DONE.

WITH ADS PLACED IN THE VILLAGER.

AS WELL AS INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE.

THE FOLKS WERE NOTIFIED. AS WELL AS STANDARDS COMMITTEE THAT THIS BOARD WILL CONCEDE WITH FUTURE APPOINTMENTS.

YOU HAVE ALL THE APPLICANTS HAVE BEEN SCREENED AND QUALIFIED. AND MEET ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS TO SERVE. ON THE COMMITTEE.

HE LIST OF CANDIDATES IS WITH YOU.

IT'S IN YOUR ATTACHMENT, WHICH IS ATTACHMENT B. AT THE DECEMBER 1 MEETING, THIS BOARD WILL MAKE THE APPOINTMENTS TO INVOLVEMENT STANDARDS COMMITTEE.

HOWEVER FOR TONIGHT, YOU WILL INTERVIEW THE CANDIDATES FOR CONSIDERATION OF TWO APPOINTMENTS, WHICH IS FOR JOHN BROWN'S TERM AND ÃÃWHICH EXPIRES.

WE HAVE SIX CANDIDATES. SIX APPLICANTS.

READING IT OFF HERE. MR. BROWN IS HERE.

MR. MCDANIEL. HE IS PRESENT.

AND MR. RANDY SCHULTZ. I HAVE NOT SEEN MR. LOWE AND I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH MR. PENSON IF HE'S HERE.

SO FOR THE SIX CANDIDATES PRESENT.

THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK THEM TO STEP UP AND SPEAK AND

EXPRESS THEIR INTEREST. >> ALL RIGHT, ONE IS VERY IMPORTANT ÃÃTWO WEEKS FROM NOW.

SO, I HAVE HEARD IN DOCTOR BROWN, YOU CAN EXPRESS YOUR

INTEREST. >> WANT ME TO CONGO HERE?

>> YOU GO UP THERE AND SAY WHAT YOU THINK YOU WANT TO SAY.

WE WILL BRING THE OTHER THREE APPLICANTS UP.

>> THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW BOARD DIRECTORS.

IT'S KIND OF DIFFERENT TO BE ON THE SIDE OF THE PODIUM.

SO, I AM ALWAYS APPRECIATING ALL THE RESIDENTS THAT COME HERE AND SPEAK AND GIVE THEIR SUGGESTIONS AND FEEDBACK AND COMMENTS. SO, I BELIEVE STARTED AT THE DST JOURNEY BACK IN 2017. AROUND THAT TIME.

AND IF WE GO BY WHAT THE STANDARD ACCOUNT FOR APPLICATIONS IN ROUGHLY 500 A YEAR.HAT WOULD PROBABLY BE ROUGHLY AND WAS 4000 APPLICATIONS THAT I PERSONALLY REVIEWED. THAT I'M ALSO ONE OF THE PROBABLY ONE OF THE LONGEST STANDARD STANDING PRESIDENTIAL

[02:50:02]

AND OF THAT, TO ME IS BASICALLY A BLESSING AND VERY FORTUNATE TO UNDERSTAND THE VERY COMPLEX NATURE OF OUR COMMUNITY.

I MEAN, I WOULD BE AMISS TO SAY THAT IT IS SOMETHING VERY EASY TO DO AND UNDERSTAND. IT IS NOT.

BUT, AND THIS TIME, I'VE LEARNED THAT THE SILENT SO MUCH THAT IT SOWED BIBLE T THE COMMUNITY AND UNDERSTAND HOW THINGS WORK. IN WORKING WITH THE RESIDENTS ONE ON ONE WITH MOST TIMES. AS A DIRECTOR AND BOARD OF DIRECTOR UNDERSTANDING OF THE DIRECTIONS THAT CAME WITH THE DST APPOINTMENT. TO LISTEN TO THEIR COMMENTS AND APPLICATIONS. BEING FAIR AND UNBIASED WITH THE STANDARDS, BUT YOU TRYING TO MAKE IT A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH OF US. AND I THINK THE CURRENT BOARD DOES THAT TREMENDOUSLY TODAY. REALLY CAN'T SPEAK TO I MEAN ÃÃAGAIN, MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN SINCE 2017 THERE.

REAL ESTATE EXPERIENCE FACILITIES MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCES ALL PLAYED WELL INTO LEARNING.

SO, THAT BEING SAID, THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT APPLICANTS HERE.

WE HAVEN'T HAD IN A WHILE. IT'S GREAT THAT WE HAVE THE RESIDENTS COME OUT TO SERVE IN DIFFERENT CAPACITIES.

YOU'VE HEARD THE VILLAGE ASSOCIATIONS, AND THERE'S PLENTY OF SPOTS ON THE BOARD. THINK TED IS THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE MARIANNE IS AT, BUT AS A MEMBER OF THE VILLAGE ASSOCIATION AS WELL. THERE'S ALWAYS OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS TO SERVE. LWAYS.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE ALL THESE GOOD APPLICANTS.

THAT BEING SAID, PERSONALLY I THINK IT'S TIME FOR ME TO REMOVE MY APPOINTMENT. I AM HAPPY TO SERVE.

MY REMAINING TERM UNTIL SOMEBODY'S NEWLY APPOINTED, BUT FOR ME, AT A TIME FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO STEP UP AND ENJOY THE FRUITFULNESS OF OUR LONG MEETINGS.

I'M ALWAYS ÃÃI CAN'T SPEAK MORE HIGHLY OF HANDLING THE TEAM. NOT THE STAFF THE TWO COUNTLESS HOURS OF PREPARATION FOR THOSE APPLICATIONS AND SO, IT'S BEEN AN HONOR AND A PLEASURE TO MEET ALL OF YOU.

I THINK IT'S TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO SERVE IN THAT CAPACITY.

AND I BELIEVE THAT WE DO HAVE SOME VERY GOOD CANDIDATES HERE.

BUT BEFORE I LEAVE THE STAND, I REALLY HOPE THAT THE BOARD RECONSIDERS APPOINTING DOCTOR BITE OFF AND REALLY TAKE IN CONSIDERATION THAT WORKED ON THE ALREADY RC.

THEIR EXPENSE BECAUSE MAKE THE TRANSITION SO MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND ALREADY WHAT THAT ENTAILS.

SO, JUST TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY AND IT'S HARD TO SAY NO.

MORE FRONT MORE TIME WITH MY FAMILY AND I APPRECIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU JOHN? APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE.

>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU DIRECTOR BROWN.

>> WE ARE DOWN TO THREE THAT ARE HERE TODAY.

>> I THOUGHT WE WOULD DO IT MATHEMATICALLY IF YOU WOULD

STEP UP PLEASE SIR. >> GOOD EVENING CHAIRMAN BUNCH.

TOWNSHIP DIRECTORS AND SENIOR STAFF.

AND RESIDENTS. IT'S AN HONOR TO BE HERE.

AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY.

FIRST, WE LIKE TO THANK DIRECTOR BROWN FOR HIS SERVICE BUT HE'S BEEN A REAL VALUED MEMBER OF THE DS SAY AND ALSO ROBERT HEINEMAN. CURRENTLY ON THE CHAIR OF THE DSC, AND I'VE BEEN APPOINTED FOR 2021.Y THE COMMITTEE.

IT'S BEEN AN HONOR TO WORK WITH A GREAT COMMITTEE.

HAVE A GOOD COMMITTEE THAT IS SUPPORTED BY A GREAT STAFF.

DOCTOR GIBBS ASKED ABOUT SHELLEY, PENNY CAN TABLET THE HOURS FOR YOU. BUT IT'S AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF HOURS OF PREPARATION THAT THE STAFF PREPARES FOR US AT THE DFC. THE DSC MEMBERS CONTRIBUTE ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO 70 HOURS A MONTH.

ON AVERAGE, SOME OF THESE MEETINGS GO FIVE AND LONGEST MEETING HAS BEEN SIX. BUT IT'S REWARDING BECAUSE WE'RE THERE. TO HELP THE RESIDENTS IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITY AND EXECUTE ON A STANDARD.

AND LOOK AT REQUESTS FOR VARIANCES.

FOR ME THIS YEAR HAS BEEN AN HONOR TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD AND PROVIDE THE COURTLY UPDATES.

WHICH IS REALLY THE WORK OF WHAT THE STAFF AND THE DFC MEMBERS. AND ALSO THE ALREADY RC'S.

WE HAVE REINSTITUTED THE QUARTERLY MEETINGS WITH THE DFC IN THE ALREADY RC'S. HAVE REALLY BEEN VALUABLE AND

[02:55:04]

WE VERY HAD ONE MEETING. WE HAVE A SECOND MEETING SCHEDULED. AND IF EVERYTHING WORKS OUT, BY THE LAST MEETING OF 2021, DECEMBER 15 WILL BE ABLE TO PROVE ANY REVISIONS TO THE STANDARDS.

SOMETIMES IT'S A WORD CHANGE. SOMETIMES IT'S A COMPLETE OVERHAUL. WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT A FEW NEIGHBORHOOD CRITERIA TO TIGHTEN THEM UP AND MAKE SURE THERE IS INCLUSIVE AS POSSIBLE. BUT FOR ME, TRULY BEEN AN HONOR AND A JOURNEY OF COMMUNITY SERVICE.

STARTED BACK IN 1999 WITH A DOCTOR PATH.

IT STILL TODAY, WE HAVE A PATH IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE ADOPT. IN 1999, WE STARTED WITH THE OLD BRIDGE VILLAGE ASSOCIATION. AND ALSO ON THE ARTIE RC.

AND THE ARTIE RC TO DIRECTOR BROWN'S COMMENTS, THE ARTIE RC IS A GREAT UNDERPINNING AND A GREAT AREA TO LEARN WITH THE STANDARD TO ORIOLE ABOUT LEARNING ABOUT MEETINGS AND LEARNING ABOUT OUR RESIDENTS. AND HOW TO RELATE EXECUTE THE STANDARDS AND HOW TO WORK WITH STAFF TO COME TO A COMMON GROUND. SO PEOPLE CAN REALLY ENJOY THEIR PROPERTY. THAT'S WHY PEOPLE COME HERE TO NEW ORLEANS AND WHY THEY REALLY WANT A QUALITY LIFE.

>> ALSO, MY GRANDFATHER AND I THREE GRANDKIDS PRINT TO THE GRANDKIDS STILL LIVE HERE FOR THE LOVE NEW ORLEANS AND HOPEFULLY WHEN THEY HAVE FAMILIES, THEY WILL RETURN TO NEW ORLEANS. I HAVE A BA FROM JERSEY CITY STATE. AN MBA FROM SETON HALL.

WHAT I REALLY LEARNED ABOUT THE COMMUNITY WAS REALLY THAT JOURNEY THAT STARTED IN 99 AND THE PEOPLE THAT I MET ALONG THE WAY. BOTH THE CURRENT DIRECTORS HERE AND PRIOR DIRECTORS IN RESIDENCE.

TO REALLY LEARN HOW TO INTERFACE WITH THIS COMMUNITY AND GET BACK AND REALLY ENJOY THE VALUE IN THIS COMMUNITY.

I'VE ALSO SERVED AS A DIRECTOR. I STARTED IN 2003.

ALL THE WAY THROUGH 2020. I SERVED ON THE WOODLANDS WATER TRUSTEE BOARD FROM 2015 TO 2020.

I WAS IN MCAT DIRECTOR FROM OCTOBER 2018 TO 2019.

I ALSO AM CURRENTLY THE CHAIR OF THE COUNTY LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD. STARTING ON A BOARD BACK IN

2012. >> I GUESS I COULD SAVE THE TIME FOR IT WE ALL KNOW THAT YOU AREN'T.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ART?

>> I JUST WANTED TO SHARE A FEW THINGS IN CASE WE DO NOT

REMEMBER FROM LAST TIME. >> IN CASE THE PAPERWORK MISTY.

RELIGIOUS KIND OF SHARE THAT JOURNEY OF GIVING BACK FOR ME HAS BEEN VALUABLE. IT'S BEEN VIABLE FOR OUR FAMILY. AND REALLY ENJOYED THE WORK THAT WE DO AT THE DFC. REALLY IS THE BOARD TO CONSIDER REAPPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS.HAT'S IN YOUR HANDS, BUT I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CHAIRMAN OF THE DFC?

>> IF NOT, I WILL TAKE YOUR CONSIDERATION AND I APPRECIATE

WE HAVE THREE CHILDREN. TWO OF OUR CHILDREN AND ADULT CHILDREN FOR THE CONTINUE TO LIVE HERE IN THE WOODLANDS.

AND WE ALL LOVE IT.T'S A GREAT PLACE.

MY CREDENTIALS, I HAVE AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE FROM UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA. AND A MASTERS IN ARCHITECTURE FROM RICE UNIVERSITY. I'VE BEEN A LICENSED ARCHITECT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS SINCE 1985.

BOARD CERTIFIED BY THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARDS IN WASHINGTON DC. I HAVE LED MULTIPLE BUSINESS UNITS FOR SOME OF THE LARGEST DESIGN CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES IN THE WORLD FRANKLY. AND MOST RECENTLY I SPENT TWO YEARS IN SINGAPORE WHERE I WORKED FOR A JAPANESE COMPANY HELPING TO INTRODUCE THEM TO OTHER MARKETS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA. LET'S SEE.

I'VE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH MULTIPLE COMMUNITY BOARDS OVER LAST PROBABLY 15 YEARS. AND ARCHITECTURE REVIEW COMMITTEES AS WELL.'M ALSO A CURRENT ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE MEMBER FOR COMMUNITY DOWN IN GALVESTON.

PROFESSIONALLY, I'VE COMPLETED HUNDREDS OF PROJECTS OF ALL TYPES OVER 40+ YEARS OF MY CAREER.EASONS FOR MY INTERESTS. AS A YOUNG ARCHITECT STUDENT,

[03:00:02]

MY WIFE AND I MOVED TO HOUSTON SHORTLY AFTER THAT 1979.

RESIDED HERE ALL THOSE YEARS. AND EVER SINCE I JUST ASSUMED SINCE I'VE APPRECIATED THE TRANQUILITY AND UNIQUENESS.

THE QUALITY OF LIFE THE WOODLANDS OFFERS TO ANYONE THAT DECIDES TO MOVE HERE. TRANSITIONING FROM ACTIVE TO SIMILAR RETIREMENT STATUS MIGHT NOT HAVE MORE TIME TO DONATE TO SERVICE LIKE THIS. AND I'M OPEN TO DOING AND I WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY. THANKS VERY MUCH IN ANY

QUESTIONS? >> JIM, YOU HEARD 50 TO 75 HOURS A MONTH.

OU HAVE THAT MUCH FREE TIME? >> I HAVE NOT.

NO. >> YES, I DO NOT AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO SERVES ON THE DFC.

IT'S ONE OF THEM WITH THANKLESS ROLES, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY A REQUIREMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY AND IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND IT TAKES CREDENTIALS. IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE AND HAVE HAVE CERTAIN CREDENTIALS IN ORDER TO SERVE IN THE DFC BOARD. YOU DEFINITELY HAVE THOSE.

YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. MCDANIEL?

ALL RIGHT. >> VERY GOOD, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU SIR. >> MR. SCHULTZ?

>> GOOD EVENING MR. CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS PUT MY NAME IS RANDY SCHULTZ. I'M A RESIDENT OF THE WOODLANDS AND I'VE LIVED HERE SINCE 1998. AND I NOW HAVE THREE GENERATIONS OF A FAMILY HERE IN THE WOODLANDS.

AND I'M A CANDIDATE FOR THE DFC OPENING.

AND I HOPE THAT MY APPLICATION HAS BEEN COGENT AND RESPONSIVE.

AND FOR THAT REASON, I'M NOT GOING TO READ IT.

I'M JUST GONNA BRING UP A PERSONAL CONCERN OF MINE THAT I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT TO YOURSELVES AS WELL AS THE DFC.

AND THAT IS THE VACANCIES IN OUR VILLAGE CENTERS.

I EXPECT THAT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS, BOTH LATENCIES, IF THEY CANNOT BE CURED, ARE GOING TO RESULT IN THE NEED FOR THOSE VILLAGE CENTERS TO BE REDEVELOPED AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE HUGE ITEM ON YOUR AGENDA AS WELL AS ASC'S AGENDA.

I HAVE WORKED WITH ARCHITECTS AND DEVELOPERS OVER MY CAREER.

AND I BELIEVE THAT I CAN GIVE INPUT INTO THE PROCESS OF APPROVAL THAT WILL RESULT IN DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT IF IT COMES THAT WILL BE COMPATIBLE.

WITH THE VISION OF THE WOODLANDS.

I AM SEMIRETIRED. I WORK FOR WALTER P MORE ASSOCIATES. WE WILL WOODLANDS OFFICE HERE IN HUGHES LANDING. I HAVE PROJECTS UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW.AND THERE IS A DORMANT OR ALMOST DORMANT IF THEY COME UP BEFORE THE DFC. I WILL DISCLOSE IT IMMEDIATELY.

AND IN THE PAST, I WORKED FOR DEVELOPMENTS OUT HERE INCLUDING TEXAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL TO WOODLANDS.

ST. LUKE'S AND METHODIST AND SO FORTH.

AND NOT SO MUCH WIHIN THE WOODLANDS PROPER, BUT VERY CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE WOODLANDS.

THOSE ARE MY QUALIFICATIONS. THE LAST THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS PLEASE KEEP ART, NOT MATTER WHAT YOU DO.

BUT PLEASE LIVER YOU POINT WITH WHETHER IT'S ME OR SOMEONE ELSE, I BELIEVE THAT REDEVELOPMENT AND WERE SOLVING THE VACANCY ISSUE IS OF PARAMOUNT CONCERN FOR THIS COMMUNITY.N THE YEARS TO COME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU RANDY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. SCHULTZ?

YOU ARE ON THE ARE DRC ALREADY. >> AMONG THE ALREADY RC ALREADY PUT ON THE CHAIRMAN RIGHT AFTER THE OLD AND BRIDGE ARE DRC AND I'VE BEEN ON THE COMMITTEE FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS.

OUR WAS MY MENTOR. FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.

>> YOU A LOT OF RESPONSIBLY FOR NOW.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YOU WOULD HE KNOW THAT IT'S 50

TO 75 HOURS PER. >> I HEARD THAT.

[LAUGHTER] >> A MICRO PALM APPLICATION,

NO. >> THERE YOU GO.

WE WILL MAKE SURE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO BECAUSE WE ASKED HAVE APPOINTED SOMEBODY WHO RESIGNED NOT TOO LONG AFTER BEING APPOINTED BECAUSE THE TIME COMMITMENT IS INTENSE. AND WE HAD TO DO THAT THAT SECTION WILL BE APPOINTED THE ART.

YOU KNOW? SO, I APPRECIATE YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> THAT'S EVERYONE.

GIVE ANY QUESTIONS OR QUESTIONS FOR ME?

>> YES MA'AM? >> MY QUESTION IS RELATED TO RELATED TO WHAT I ASKED ACTUALLY EARLIER.

NOT JUST THE HOURS THAT THE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP PROVIDED TO THE DFC, BUT THE COST AND HOW IT'S PAID AND HOW IT'S

[03:05:02]

>> THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE AND VOLUNTEERS ÃÃTHEY GET PAID ZERO. STAFF HOURS ARE ALL THE HOURS THAT ARE PAID ON AN ANNUAL SALARY BASIS.

SO, THE HOURS ARE WHAT THEY ARE WITH HER BEFORE YOUR 60 HOURS A WEEK OR 70. THAT'S ONLY INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL PAYROLL.> I THINK DOCTOR SHELLEY, I WILL TRY TO HELP INTO THE QUESTION. I THINK YOU'RE TRYING TO ASK.

THE MEDICAMENT LAST MONTH ABOUT NOT HAVING THE COVENANTS AND THEN IT LOOKS CONFUSING TO PEOPLE BECAUSE WE HAVE STAFF THAT ARE SO ÃÃTHE DFC BOARD IS AN AUTONOMOUS BOARD.

THAT IS A CARRYOVER FROM THE HOA'S.

WHEN WE VOTED TO BECOME A TOWNSHIP, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE HOA'S WERE FOLDED INTO THE NEW TOWNSHIP AND THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES CAME WITH US AND THE AUTHORITY TO ADJUDICATE THE COVENANTS RESIDES WITH THE DFC.

BECAUSE THAT BOARD REMAINED SEPARATE AND THE ONLY THING THAT THE TOWNSHIP DOES IS FACILITATE REPORTING FOR THE SEVEN MEMBERS AND THEN PASSING THROUGH THE FUNDING THAT'S REQUIRED FOR THE TSC AND THE COVENANT ADMINISTRATION TEAM TO ADMINISTER THE COVENANTS THAT ARE PART OF THE HOA OBLIGATIONS THAT WE INHERITED. AS PART OF THE EMERGING TOWNCENTER IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AND NOT IN A NAME ALL THE ACRONYMS, BUT ALL THE ACRONYM PRIOR ASSOCIATIONS.

WE ÃÃEVEN IF WE CAN'T TELL ANY, GO CHANGE THE COVENANT

FROM THIS BOARD. >>.

>> .AS THE DFC BOARD AS COMPLETE AUTONOMY.

I KNOW I'VE BEEN ACTIVE WITH TRYING TO GET THEM TO DO THINGS CERTAIN WAYS. MANY YEARS AGO.

AND WE JUST DON'T HAVE AUTHORITY OVER THEM.

ALL WE CAN DO IS APPOINTMENT REAPPOIT OR NOT APPOINTED.

BUT THE MONEY HAS COME FROM OUR TAXES.

>> THERE IS NO DIRECT CONTROL. NONE OF US ON THIS BOARD HAVE ANY DIRECT CONTROL. AND IF WE PARTICIPATED IN THE DFC MEETING, IT WOULD BE AS AN OBSERVER OR RESIDENT.

WITH AN ISSUE. AND IN TERMS OF HIRING AND FIRING AND IT'S ALL UNDER THE UNDER THE AGE OF THE PRESIDENT.

OF AM I RIGHT? THE PRESIDENT.

>> THE STAFF AND THE COMMITTEE ITSELF.

IT'S UP TO THE BOARD. FOR MEMBERS PER.

>> AMONG TALK ABOUT THE COMMITTEE.

BUT THE STAFF. THE QUESTION IS THE STAFF.

HIS IF THE STAFF WRITES SOMETHING, AND IT SHOWS UP ON THE TOWNSHIP WEBSITE, THE STAFF PRODUCED IT AND IT HAS ON THE TOWNSHIP WEBSITE, THE TO THE MEAN THAT WE HAVE VOTED ON IT

AND THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> YES MA'AM. >> THAT WAS THE CLARIFICATION

WANTED TO MAKE. >> ALL RIGHT.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

THE ABSOLUTELY SAY?

[INDISCERNIBLE] >> TWO WEEKS.

[INDISCERNIBLE] >> I WILL BE VERY BRIEF.

THIS IS JUST A QUICK REMINDER OF HOW THE PROCESS WORKS FROM HERE. SO, YOU'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO THE CANDIDATES AT THE DECEMBER 1 MEETING.OU WILL APPOINT TWO OF THOSE SIX ELIGIBLE I THINK ÃÃFIVE ELIGIBLE CANDIDATES. WE GENERALLY FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS THAT WE USED TO BOARD OFFICERS, OR IT IS BY WRITTEN BALLOT WRITTEN BUT NOT SECRET BALLOT.

AND WE WILL GO THROUGH AS MANY RUNS OF VOTING AS IT TAKES TO GET A MAJORITY FOR MORE VOTES FOR TWO CANDIDATES.

AND IF ONE INITIALLY RECEIVES FOUR VOTES AND THE VOTE WAS SPLIT AMONG THE OTHER CANDIDATES, THAT PERSON WOULD BE CONSIDERED APPOINTED AND WE CONTINUE THE VOTING PROCESS

UNTIL WE HAVE TWO POINTS MADE. >> OKAY SO, THERE'S NO ACTION

[15. Receive, consider and act upon a presentation regarding the storm drain education initiative involving warning decals on the inlets (as requested by Secretary Sekula-Gibbs);]

INLETS AND PUSHING OUR CREEKS. >> GOOD EVENING.

I AM JOHN. SERVICES DEPARTMENT MANAGER AND I APPRECIATE YOU HAVING HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT OUR STORM DRAIN MARKING AND STORM WATER EDUCATION PROGRAM.

CERTAINLY WE ALL KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEAN WATER.

BOTH CRITICAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND UNIVERSAL ALIKE.

MANY OF ECONOMIC IMPACT AS WELL.

AFFECTING THE ABILITY AND RECREATION.

[03:10:03]

HERE ARE RESIDENTIAL AREAS. WHEN YOU SEE SOME IMPACT FROM ILLEGAL DUMPING. WE ARE NOT IMMUNE TO THAT.HE MAJORITY OF THE POLLUTION THAT IS TRAVELING INTO THE WATERWAYS COMES FROM WHAT WE CALL NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION PEER THAT IS RAIN. IRRIGATION, MOVING MATERIAL OFF OF OUR LAWNS AND DRIVEWAYS. TO THE ADJOINING GUTTER GREEN BELL FOR DRAINAGE DITCH AND FROM THERE, IT'S A SHORT THROUGH TO THE NEAREST WATERWAY.

WHERE THAT WATER TRAVELS UNFILTERED AND UNTREATED.

POLLUTANTS AS YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS ARE YOU NOW, LONG CHEMICALS AND PESTICIDES AND HERBICIDES.

INSECTICIDES.

EHICLE FLUIDS, SOAP, PET WASTE.

AS MR. GAYNOR REFERENCED EARLIER IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE IN OUR COMMUNITY. LITTER AND CERTAIN OUR WOODLANDS. OUR WONDERFUL WOODLANDS AND ORGANIC MATTER DOES HAVE AN IMPACT AS WELL.

AND THAT GOES INTO MASSIVE STORM DREAMS. EACH OF THIS WILL AFFECT WATER QUALITY IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

AND CAN ALL HAVE SIGNIFICANT AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS.

BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS. RIGHT? SO, THIS IS A MATTER THAT EACH OF US AS HOMEOWNERS CAN AFFECT.

WE CAN AFFECT WHAT MATERIAL WE ARE PUTTING IN OUR LAWNS AND IF THAT TRAVELS OFF OF OUR LAWNS IN THE STORM WATER SYSTEM.

SO, WE CAN AFFECT IT BY REDUCING WHAT WE PUT ON OUR LAWN AND MANAGING CORRECTLY. ND IN THE CASE OF CHEMICALS.

WE CAN'T REMOVE MATERIAL BEFORE IT'S ALLOWED TO ENTER THE SYSTEM. IN CASE OF LITTER OR DOG WASTE.

AND IN THE CASE OF LAWN TRIMMINGS, WE CAN NOT BLOW THIS ONTO THE STREET AND INSTEAD COMPOST OR MULCH WITH THAT MATERIAL. SO, WE ÃÃLET'S SEE.

SORRY. THE NORMAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN PROMOTED STORM WATER AWARENESS AND WATER QUALITY AND WATER CONSERVATION.ATTERS FOR YEARS.

BUT EARLY THIS YEAR, WE ENACTED A NEW OUTREACH PROGRAM.

INVOLVING STORM DRAIN MARKERS. RIGHT? SO THIS POINT, I SHOULD NOTE THAT THERE IS A KEY INDIVIDUAL AND HATCHING THIS PARTNERSHIP THAT HAS PROVEN TO BE QUITE SUCCESSFUL. SO, WANTED TO NOTE FROM WOODLANDS WATER. THE WATER CONSERVATION AND CONSERVATION OUTREACH MANAGER AND NEIL GAYNOR FROM LINE 6 AND VILLAGE ASSOCIATION AND TOWNSHIP WATER CONSERVATION EDUCATION SPECIALIST TERRY MACARTHUR.

HE'S IN THE BACK THERE. SO, THESE INDIVIDUALS GOT TOGETHER EARLY THIS YEAR AND THEY DECIDED TO PURSUE A MARKETING PROGRAM SIMILAR TO WHAT COMMUTERS ACROSS THE NATION AND ACROSS TEXAS HAVE DONE.

WHICH IS TO INSTALL OVER 14,000 STORM DRAIN MARKERS.

IN EVERY INLET AND TOWNSHIP. AND THE GOALS OF THIS PROGRAM ARE THREEFOLD. ONE STORM WATER EDUCATION.

SO, WE WANT TO REMIND FOLKS THAT JUST AS I SAID EARLIER, WHAT GOES INTO THE STORM DRAIN GOES INTO THE WATERWAY.

UNTREATED AND UNFILTERED. MANY FOLKS DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE STORM WATER SYSTEM WORKS. THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THE SPIKES LEAD. MANY ASSUME THAT THERE'S TREATMENT OR FILTERING ALONG THE WAY.

THERE IS NOT.ND SO, DUE TO THE LACK OF EDUCATION THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT REALIZING THE IMPACTS OF THEIR ACTIONS.

RIGHT? SECONDLY, WE WANT TO TARGET ILLEGAL DUMPING. AND AGAIN, THIS REALLY TIES INTO ACKNOWLEDGING HOW THE STORM DRAIN SYSTEM WORKS RIGHT? TO PUT ANYTHING INTO THAT SYSTEM THAT ISN'T CLEAN WATER IS NOT ONLY UNACCEPTABLE, IT'S FRANKLY ILLEGAL AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF FINDING HOW THAT CAN HAPPEN.

WE WOULD HATE TO SEE RESIDENTS DEFINED BECAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND ESSENTIALLY THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THEIR IMPACT AND LEGALITIES INVOLVED. SO, WE WANTED TARGET ILLEGAL DUMPING AND CERTAINLY WE WANT TO KEEP OUR WATER QUALITY STRONG. AND THERE ARE SOME AREAS WHERE IT NEEDS SOME HELP AND WE WANT TO TARGET THAT.

SO, OUR OUTREACH PROGRAM ENCOURAGES PRESIDENTS AND HOW

[03:15:02]

AND WE ARE ALSO HANGING THESE DOOR HANGERS.O, WHEN THE RESIDENTS ARE OUT INSTALLING THEIR STORM DRAIN ON THE INLETS, THESE RESIDENT VOLUNTEERS, I DON'T KNOW IF I MENTIONED, THIS IS ALL RESIDENT VOLUNTEER EFFORT.

RIGHT? SO, WE HAVE OUR QUARTERS HERE.

THIS IS DEFTLY DONE THE RESIDENTS.

THESE MARKERS HERE.ND THEY ARE HANGING THESE DOOR HANGERS.

WITH ADDITIONAL EDUCATION IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

LIKE THE BIG THREE. PET WASTE YOUR DEBRIS AND YOUR CHEMICALS. THE IMPORTANCE OF MANAGING THOSE. THROUGH ADDITIONAL OUTREACH EFFORTS JUST AS WE ARE TARGETING SOME OTHER ASPECTS OF THIS ISSUE. SUCH AS KEEPING YOUR AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS TUNED SO YOU ARE NOT OVERWATERING.

WHICH IS BETTER LAWN. AS WELL AS WASTING WATER.

YOU'RE NOT SPRAYING IT ONTO THE STREETS.

WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND THAT YOU BLOW OR SWEEPER DRIVEWAYS.

AND NOT HOSE THEM OFF. CONSIDER ORGANIC LAWN APPLICATIONS INSTEAD OF SYNTHETIC TREATMENTS RIGHT? WE ARE APPROACHING IT FROM MULTIPLE ANGLES.

SO, AS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE TOWNSHIP AND WATER FROM 3¤. THE TOWNSHIP ROLE IS PRIMARY TO VOLUNTEERS. THAT IS TERRY RITCHIE DOES A FANTASTIC JOB OF IT. THERE IS SOME FUNDING AS WELL COMING FROM THE TOWNSHIP. WE SPENT ABOUT $5000 TO DATE ON SUPPLIES. A MAJORITY OF THE FUNDING IS COMING FROM THE MUD. THEY'VE COMMITTED OVER $40,000 TO PURCHASE ALL THE STORM DRAIN MARKERS AND ADHESIVE.

AND ALSO ASSISTING WITH OUTREACH.

THEY DO A GREAT JOB OF EDUCATING AS WELL.

>> JOHN, HAVE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH THE BOY SCOUT TROOPS? WHAT HAVE THE EAGLE SCOUT PROJECTS ÃÃWE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL HANDS AND FEET.

FOUR EAGLE SCOUT NEPHEWS. AND THEY'LL HAVE TO DO PROJECTS AND MELTED THEM WITH PAT TOWNSHIP PARKS AND WRECKED PROJECTS. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT PROJECT

FOR COUPLE PEOPLE. >> WE'VE HAD SCOUT GROUPS.

COMMUNITY GROUPS, BUSINESSES, INDIVIDUALS.

YOU NAME IT. AND YES.

IT'S GREAT PROJECT BECAUSE IT'S VERY GRATIFYING.

TO SEE THESE MARKERS OUT. THE REAL SENSE OF A COMPLIMENT.

ESPECIALLY FOR THE YOUTH. YES.

SO, SEND THEM OUR WAY. TO DATE, WE HAVE INSTALLED ALMOST A THOUSAND MARKERS. PROBABLY CHRIS THAT THIS WEEKEND. NOW, THERE ARE 14,000 TOTAL.

SO, WE ARE UNDER 10 PERCENT TODAY.

WE JUST GET STARTED THIS YEAR. COVID WAS IN A, AN IMPACT.

IF YOU REMEMBER, WE HAD A LOT OF RAINY DAYS THIS YEAR.

WE NEED A SIX DAY WINDOW OF DRY WEATHER.

TO GET THESE TO STICK.O, WE HAVE TO NAVIGATE THAT BACK FACTOR. TERRY AND BOB ARE DOING A TREMENDOUS JOB OF BUILDING AWARENESS OF THE PROGRAM PEOPLE ARE COMING TO US EVERY OTHER DAY TO GET INVOLVED.

AND SO WAS A LOT OF INERTIA BUILDING.

I REALLY THINK THAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH MOST OF THIS IN 2022. AND CONSERVATIVELY, I THINK WE WILL BE DONE BY 2023. AT A LOT OF INLETS.

A LOT OF INLETS, BUT AGAIN, PEOPLE ARE REALLY EXCITED TO GET INVOLVED. SO WE WILL DO IT.

AND I GUESS THAT'S IT.

[LAUGHTER] >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WITH THAT, ANY QUESTIONS? >> MR. GEIGER, TO GIVE HER MUCH FOR COMING.

ND FOR RESPONDING TO OUR REQUEST.

IT WAS TRIGGERED BY ACTUALLY BUMPING INTO TERRY MACARTHUR ON A NUMBER OF VILLAGES AND SHE DID SUCH A GOOD JOB ON MAKING IT JUST SOUND SO REAL THAT I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND IT WAS AN EYE-OPENER FOR ME.

BECAUSE I HAD NOT REALIZED THAT THERE WAS SO MUCH PET WASTE BEING DEPOSITED. ON A DAILY BASIS.

IN TEXAS. AND THAT WAS ACTUALLY HAVING A MUCH MORE BROADER IMPACT. I THOUGHT IT WAS MORE OF A REAL URBAN THING. NOT NECESSARILY A SUBURBAN THING. AND THE OTHER THING THAT I WAS UNCLEAR ABOUT WAS THAT WHEN PEOPLE ÃÃIN MANAUS CLARIFIED.

CLEARLY. WHEN YOU PUT THAT WASTE IN THE WHITE BAG. THAT PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS TAKE IT HOME WITH THEM. THEY WILL LEAVE THE BAG.

ELSEWHERE. THINKING THAT SOMEONE WILL COME AROUND AND PICK IT UP. BUT AS HE POINTED OUT, IT RAINS A LOT HERE AND BEFORE SOME GOOD SAMARITAN OR SOMEBODY WHOSE JOB IT IS TO PICK IT UP MIGHT HAPPEN UPON.

IT COULD VERY WELL BE WASHED INTO A STORM DRAIN.

AND AT THAT POINT, IT TEARS OPEN AND WE'VE GOT A REAL SERIOUS PROBLEM. AND SO, I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY INFORMATIONAL AND I WANTED YOU TO POINT THAT OUT.

[03:20:02]

I LEARNED THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS GROWING ACROSS THE STATE. PROBABLY ACROSS THE NATION.

AND IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT TO GET THE WORD OUT.

SO, I LOVE THE COLOR OF YOUR STICKER AND I LOVE THE ACTIVITY THAT IT PROMOTES. BUT IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING.

TO THINK DUMPING REALLY MEANS PET WASTE.

BECAUSE WHEN I THINK OF ILLEGAL DUMPING, I THINK OF BIG ITEMS OR ITEMS THAT ARE GOING IN ON THE LAND AREA.

I DON'T THINK OF DUMPING IN THE STORM BANK.

PEOPLE JUST THINK THAT'S INNOCENT.

RIGHT? ILLEGAL DUMPING IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WORK REALLY GETTING IT FINE FOR.

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GONNA PASS ORDINANCES TO THE PERSON.

BOB BAILEY CAN PASS AN ORDINANCE.

DEFINE A PERSON FOR NOT PICKING UP THE DOG WHISPERER DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA ÃÃMY COMMENT WOULD BE NEXT GENERATION OF THOSE STICKERS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO BE A LITTLE MORE CLEAR THAN JUST SAYING ILLEGAL DUMPING AND PUTTING FISH ON IT. YOU MIGHT HAVE A PICTURE OF A DOGGY OR A PICTURE OF SOMEBOD BLOWING THEIR DEBRIS FROM THEIR YARD. BECAUSE THAT OFTEN ENDS UP DOWN. IT'S SO CONVENIENT RIGHT? IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S THIS THANKS FOR PUTTING IT THERE.

RIGHT? SO, I THINK THOSE PICTURES MIGHT BE BETTER SUITED THAN FISH.

>> THERE ARE CERTAINLY MANY ASPECTS TO ADDRESS.AND TERRY, AS YOU EXPERIENCE, IT'S HARD NOT TO RUN INTO TERRY.

>> SHE WORKS HARD. YES, SHE DOES.

>> PREACHING THE GOSPEL PICKING UP PET WASTE.

AND SO, THE STORM DRAIN MARKING IS REALLY TO CAST A WIDENING ON ALL FORMS OF POLLUTANTS INTO OUR WATERWAYS.AND SO, WE HAVE MUCH WE HAVE ANOTHER DEDICATED PET WASTE PROGRAM HAPPENING CURRENTLY. MOST OF OUR WATERWAYS ARE WATERWAYS RIGHT NOW. JUDGING BY TC QS IMPAIRED FOR BACTERIA AND 75 PERCENT OF THAT LOAD IS ACTUALLY LITTLE BIT

MORE GOES TO PET WASTE. >> SO, HOW DOES THAT IN FACT THE FISH THAT PEOPLE PULL OUT OF OUR WATERWAYS AND LAKES AND CREEKS? I HAVEN'T SEEN ÃÃTONIGHT WE ACTUALLY HAD PEOPLE HERE TALKING ABOUT SWIMMING IN WOODLANDS. I'VE SEEN FAMILIES SWIMMING AND KNIFE CALLED JOHN POWERS ABOUT IT.

AND I'VE SAID FOR THESE PEOPLE SAFE TO BE SWIMMING IN SPRING CREEK? BECAUSE WE THAT'S JUST THE FAMILIES THAT SWIM EVERY SUMMER IN SPRING CREEK.

NOT TO MENTION THE DROWNING REST, BUT THERE'S ALSO THE CONCERN ABOUT THE BACTERIA ACCOUNT.

SO, CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT? >> I CAN ADDRESS SOME OF IT.

HERE IS A HIGH CODE COUNT IN THE BARE BRANCH.

AND PAINT THE BRANCH. AND ALSO IN SPRING CREEK.

WE HAVE TO REALIZE IT THEN WE PUT ANYTHING DOWN IN OUR STORM DRAINS, CAN END UP IN THE GULF OF MEXICO.

FOR THE BAIT. AND THE BAIT IS ALREADY REALLY FRAGILE SHAPE. SO, IT'S NOT JUST HERE IN WOODLANDS. IT'S IN THE CREEKS.T'S IN LAKE WOODLANDS. IT'S IN SPRING CREEK.

IT'S IN THE RIVER. AND IT'S EVENTUALLY INTO GALVESTON BAY AND IN THE GULF OF MEXICO.

ALL OF THOSE. THEY ASED ME A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT DOES IT DO TO FISH. YOU HAVE BLOOM TAKES ALL OF THE OXYGEN OUT OF THE WATER. AND IT CREATES A DEATH OF FISH.

AND SO, WHAT HAPPENS IS YOUR WHOLE ECOSYSTEM GETS DISRUPTED BY THESE FECAL ACCOUNTS AND ALSO CHLORINE.

PEOPLE TENDED TO DUMP THEIR SWIMMING POOL WATER INTO THE STORM DRAINS. THAT'S ILLEGAL.

AND YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT. CHLORINE WILL REALLY DESTROY ALL KINDS OF FISH LIFE.LL KINDS OF MARINE LIFE.

SO, THOSE ARE SOME PROBLEMS THAT WE ARE SEEING.

NOT ONLY HERE, BUT ALSO DOWN THE STREET FROM US.

>> WHAT ABOUT EATING THE FISH? >> AND WE CAN EAT A FISH THAT'S

DEAD. >> IN NORTH GALVESTON BAY, YOU CANNOT EAT THE FISH. IF YOU CATCH A FISH AT NORTH GALVESTON BACK, YOU CAN PRINT TOMORROW NIGHT, THERE IS A ZOOM PROGRAM FEATURING DOCTOR AARON KENNEY WITH HARTKE.

SHE WILL BE SPEAKING ABOUT THE STATE OF THE BAY.

AND WHAT HEART HAS BEEN DOING IS LOOKING AT THE BAY FOR YEARS

[03:25:03]

SO, WE CAN FURNISH YOU WITH THE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR.

>> TO PUT A POINT ON IT, IS IT SAFE?

>> I'VE SEEN PEOPLE. BECAUSE WE LIVE CLOSE TO A SMALL LAKE. AND I'VE SEEN PEOPLE WITH COOLERS. SO, I DON'T THINK THAT THEY ARE BRINGING THE BIG COOLER JUST FOR THE SODA WATER AND BOTTLED

WATER. >> WILL NOT EAT THE FISH.

>> THAT IS SOMETHING RELEVANT. PARTS I THINK ALL OF OUR SMALL PONDS AND LAKES ARE CATCH AND RELEASE.

THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CATCHING FOR CONSUMPTION.

I BELIEVE THAT MOST OF THE WATERWAYS ARE NON-SWIMMING BODIES OF WATER. WE MAKE EXCEPTIONS WITH THE IRONMAN. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO JUST GO SWIMMING IN. SO, THE WATER QUALITY HAS TO BE TESTED PRIOR TO THE CB AND PRIOR TO IRONMAN.

TESLA GASOLINE HONESTLY. IS NOT THE HEALTHIEST OF BODY OF WATER TO SWIM IN. SO MOST OF THE ISSUES CELICA GOES DOWNSTREAM INTO AND BECOMES A BIG ISSUE REGIONALLY

THAT IT IS LOVELY. >> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> AND THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO MENTION IS THAT THE TRIPLE LAYERS OF FINES. THE THREE AGENCIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THIS AND IF YOU DUMP ANYTHING INTO THE STORM DRAIN, IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THERE, AND THE RAINWATER IS THE ONLY THING THAT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THERE.

THERE IS A FINE IN THE WOODLAND.

THE WOODLAND'S WATER HAS A FINE OF $200.HE STATE ÃÃTCA Q HAS A FINE OF $500 WITH ANY AMOUNT UNDER FIVE POUNDS.

SO THINGS LIKE DOG WASTE. THE WATER DOESN'T JUST WALSH TOLD DOG WASTE INTO THE SEWERS PER PEOPLE THROW IT IN TO THE STORM SEWERS. YOU KNOW? PLUS SHOES AND NEWSPAPERS. ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT ARE YOU KNOW, NOT ELIGIBLE. YES SIR?

>> NUMBER ONE. DON'T REFER TO A STORM SEWER.

IT'S NOT A SEWER. IT'S A STORM DRAIN.> STORM DRAIN. AND THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT POINT BECAUSE PEOPLE THINK THAT IT'S GOING INTO THE SEWER.

THAT'S TO BE TREATED. BUT IT'S NOT.

ALL THE STORM DRAINS ARE COMPLETELY COMPLETELY OPEN TO THE WATERSHED. BUT I'M JUST SAYING ÃAS HE JUST HAD THIS. AND I MEAN, I DON'T WANT TO PUT TOO FINE OF A POINT ON THIS. I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS NOW WITH ONE WATERFRONT FOR FIVE YEARS.

PET WASTE IS A PROBLEM. AGRICULTURAL WASTE IS A HUGE PROBLEM. AND MANY AREAS OF SPRING CREEK AND OTHER WATERSHEDS AND ALL THE THINGS THAT GO THROUGH THIS AREA ARE LARGELY AGRICULTURAL. AND ACCOLADE OF THAT STUFF IS COMING UP HERE AS WELL. WE ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH A TON OF POWER YOUR PEOPLE DUMPING CLIPPINGS INTO THE STORM. THEY'VE ACTUALLY BEEN PRETTY EFFECTIVE IN ELIMINATING A LOT OF THAT.

BECAUSE WE CHANGED THE WAY THAT WE ALLOW THEM TO DROP IN OTHER PLACES. TO SORT THE PROBLEM OUT.

AND I THINK SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO EDUCATE PEOPLE.

THE TWO REALLY KEY THINGS ARE ABSOLUTE NUMBER ONE KEY THING WHEN YOU TELL EVERYBODY IS NUMBER ONE.

THIS IS A STORM DRAIN. THE CUMULATIVE EFFECT THAT ENDS UP LET'S NOT FORGET INDUSTRIAL PLANTS.

ON THE NORTH SHORE. GALVESTON BAY AS WELL.

CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROBLEM DOWN THERE.

THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE AWARE OF. A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM.

WE HAVE A MILLION MORE ACRES OF LAWNS AND STATE OF TEXAS.

UNDER SOYBEANS AND SORGHUM CORN.

AND THE PROBLEM IS A LOT OF THE CHEMICALS THAT ARE COMING FROM LAWNS ARE ACTUALLY MORE STUDENTS COMING FROM ANY AGRICULTURAL AREA. NOT THAT WE HAVE A LOT IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY. OR EVEN IN WALKER COUNTY.

THERE ARE SOME BUT NOT A LOT. SO, MOST OF THE CHEMICAL POLLUTANTS FROM HERE ÃÃTHAT WE GET INTO THE RIVER ARE COMING FROM LAWNS OR FROM DOG WASTE.

>> IF THE COMPONENT OF THE PROBLEM.

AND PROBABLY AT SOME POINT THERE PROBABLY OUGHT TO BE SOME LEGISLATIVE ACTION. YOU KNOW? TO LIMIT THE KIND OF STUFF THAT WE CAN PUT ON ORNAMENTAL YARDS.

>> WE ARE HAPPY TO FUND THE PROGRAM AND TERRY FOR SPEARHEADING THE JOHN AND THE GREAT JOB TO CONTINUE FUNDING

THIS PROGRAM. >> THANK YOU.

[16. Receive, consider and act upon a resident's complaint about noise and lighting at Northshore Park (as requested by Director Snyder);]

[03:30:10]

>> ALL RIGHT, TO HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO ACCEPT THE

REPORT. >> MOVED TO ACCEPT.> SECOND.

>> ALL IN FAVOR SAY I. >> ANY POST? ALL RIGHT. NOW WE ARE IN ITEM 16.

CONSIDER AND ACT UPON RESIDENTS COMPLAIN ABOUT NOISE AND LIGHTING AT NORTHSTAR PARK. IN THE AFTERNOON.

AND ANY PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO STAY, YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO STAY FOR JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE WE DO HAVE ONE MORE CREEKSIDE AGENDA ITEM. WHICH IS DEALING WITH COYOTES.

WHICH IS UP NEXT IN CASE YOU ARE HERE FOR THAT TOO.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH CHAIRMAN.

AN BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE TOPIC AARON AND I SPOKE ABOUT THIS EARLIER NIGHT COMMENT WITH NOISE CONCERNS. THIS PRESENTATION IS A LITTLE BIT LONG, BUT I WILL TRY TO BE AS DISTINCT AS POSSIBLE.

REALLY GIVING AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT HAS TRANCE ACQUIRED SINCE LAST YEAR AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY SOME MITIGATION STRATEGIES FOR THE FUTURE. AUGUST 20.UGUST 2020 TO MAKE THIS A HOTSPOT AND WE HAVE DONE THIS.

WE ALSO DONE SOME OF THE THINGS TO DISCUSS AND VISIT THE PARK 367 TIMES SINCE THE START OF THE YEAR.

IN HUNDRED 53 TIMES AND THOSE ARE JUST REALLY BY THE PARK RANGERS AND COUNTLESS OTHER TIMES OTHER STAFF ARE VISITING THAT PARK AND MYSELF INCLUDED. THE FREQUENT-FLIER THERE EARLY IN THE MORNING. AND IT'S ON MY ROUTE COMING IN.

THE EMAIL THE DOCTOR RECEIVED IS OUTLINED IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT IDEAS ON HOW TO POTENTIALLY ADDRESS THIS.

TURNING OFF THE LIGHTS AT THE COURT NINE.

CLOSING THE PARK AND NEW SIGNAGE REQUIREMENTS PATROLLING A ONE HOUR BASIS. RAVEN CLOSING THE PARK NO EARLIER THAN 10 O'CLOCK. JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT A PARK HISTORY. THE PARK HAS BEEN THERE I BELIEVE THE SLIDE IS FROM 1989. EVERYBODY IS A TRIGGER POINT IN THE COMMUNITY OF 1985 IN THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE PARTY WHICH IS REALLY THE START OF THAT. WHICH IS THE PARK.

IN THE COURT IS BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME.

IN THEIR JOINT RENOVATIONS OVER THE ÃÃTHIS IS A MAJOR RENOVATION IN 2014 THE COURT THERE.

IN 2017 IN A MAJOR OVERHAUL OF THE PARK WAS MADE WHERE WE RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC INPUT.

AS WELL. IN THIS SLIDE YOU CAN SEE THE TIMELINE OF THE HOMES DEVELOPED IN THIS AREA WHICH RANGE FROM 1998 AND ALSO THE HOMEOWNERSHIP CHANGES OF THOSE YEARS.

FROM THIS STANDPOINT. THE BIGGEST MITIGATION STRATEGIES PRIOR TO EVEN 2020, WE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE VOLLEYBALL LIGHTS WERE A CHALLENGE AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN THE SYSTEM IS A BUZZER.O, WHEN COURTS IN TENNIS COURT THE BEST BOOK WITH THE VOLLEYBALL COURTS GO OFF, THERE'S AN HOUR TIME ON THAT. THERE'S TYPICALLY ADVISORS.

WE HAVE REMOVED THAT SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF CONCERNS. IT IS ALSO HEAVILY CONCERNING THAT. WE'VE ALL WENT TO DO THE VOLLEYBALL LEAGUE FOR TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS.

EARLY CURE HERE INDIVIDUALS SATELLITE IN THAT FACILITY BECAUSE OF THOSE CONCERNS. IN 2015 AND 17 THERE IS SIGNIFICANT RESIN INPUT AS I MENTIONED.

THAT IS SIGNIFICANT INPUT RESULTED IN THE STAGE AND PREVIOUS STAGE BEING DEMOLISHED AND TURNED AND ROTATED 11 DEGREES TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST. THOUGH THE COMMUNITY TOWARDS HIS LANDING THERE AREA. IN SOME BLOCKER WALLS.

OF COURSE HAD A COST 1/4 MILLION DOLLARS PER THAT WAS IN ADDITION TO $15,000 FOR STATION WE BUFFED UP THE BUFFER BETWEEN RESIDENTS AS WELL AS THE PARK. AND MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE PROHIBITION OF COMMERCIAL EVENTS WHICH HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE PASSED FOR FIVE OR SIX YEARS.

IN 2010 AND EXCUSE ME 2020, INSTALLED COMMON RESPECT NEIGHBORS OF TWO SONS OUT THERE BY THE VOLLEYBALL COURT IN THE PICNIC AREA. THE SUPERVISORS HAVE RECEIVED CALLS. SPECIAL VENTS THAT ARE BEING PERMEATED. WE HAVE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 11 AND 15 SPECIAL EVENTS WITH SOUND AT THAT PARK PER YEAR.

WE ALSO LOOK AT ROB FLEMING IS DOUBLE THAT AMOUNT.UST KIND OF COMPARING AND CONTRASTING THE MAJOR TIMELINE PARKS.

WE MOVED THE FITNESS PROGRAM AWAY FROM THE PAVILION THE PARKING LOT OR THE FLAG AREA. IT WAS EARLY MORNING ISSUE AS WELL AS MIDAFTERNOON ISSUE. IND OF BOOT CAMP.E ALSO INSTALLED BLOCKS ON THE LIGHTS AS WE FOUND OUT A LOT OF THE TIMES THAT WE FOUND PEOPLE OUT THERE 11:30 DAY BUSTED OF THE LOCKS AND LIGHTS. OPEN UP ANOTHER'S VANDAL RESISTANCE AND HARDWARE ON THOSE.

[03:35:04]

AGAIN, WE HAVE THE 80 TENNIS COURTS AND 76 AND 78 OF THOSE IS ACTUALLY LADY. THIS ACTUALLY GOING TO 11 O'CLOCK. THE TENNIS COURTS EXCUSE ME, THE 19 BEST BALL COURTS IN THIS VOLLEYBALL COURT HIS AS WELL THE ATHLETIC FIELDS YOU 41 OF THOSE GO TO 11 O'CLOCK.

THE SOUND REQUIREMENT WE DO WANT TO ENFORCE THE FACT THAT IF YOU WILL BOOMBOX THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT THAT IT'S UNACCEPTABLE AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEING RECONVEYED OVER AND OVER TO A PARK RANGERS. AND ALSO WHEN WE TRY TO OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEARS WHEN WE FIRST GOT HERE, WE HAD A FISHING PROBLEM ON EAST PANTHER CREEK.

UP AND DOWN EAST PANTHER CREEK. HE PEOPLE WERE FISHING THOSE LITTLE COVES THERE.NE OF THE MITIGATION STRATEGIES THAT WE EMPLOYED ABOUT 2006 AND 2007 WAS THAT WE OPENED UP THE PARK TO THEM UNTIL THE 11 O'CLOCK TIME PERIOD TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF THE AREA TO NORTH SHORE PARK.

IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE PARK IS BEEN REMAINED OPEN TO 11 O'CLOCK. SHE'S QUICKLY NINE TENNIS COURTS IN THE SYSTEM. ONLY THREE OF THEM ARE ALLOTTED AND TWO OF THEM WERE ACTUALLY AT NORTH SHORE PARK.

THE OPTIONS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING AT THIS POINT FOR DISCUSSION HERE IN THE FIRST THREE WILL TAKE A PUBLIC HEARING. ONE IS TO IMPOSE A TIME LIMIT ON THE COURT 9 PM CLOSE THE PARK AT A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD.

PERMIT AMPLIFIED SOUND AT 9 PM.

THAT WOULD THEORETICALLY BE INCLUSIVE OF EVENTS.

ANY SPECIAL EVENTS THAT WE WOULD HAVE NUMBER FOUR AND FIVE ARE EXCUSE ME, FOR WOULD BE REMOVED THE LIGHTS FROM NORTH SHORE PARK AT THE VOLLEYBALL COURT.

FIVE IS TRULY LOOK AT THE RANGER PROGRAM AGAIN AND POTENTIALLY THE DEDICATED PERSON THERE FROM 8Ä1 PER THAT WILL BE ABOUT $24,000 PER YEAR. AND THE OTHER ONE WILL BE TO JUST ENHANCE THE FURTHER ENHANCEMENT OF THE HOTSPOT.

OMITTED SOME ANALYSIS BECAUSE OF THE MOST RECENT COMPLAINTS, WE IDENTIFY THE MIX IT HAD GOING OUT 11 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.

THAT LITERALLY HAS TO COME FROM THIS BUILDING TO GO PAST NORTH SHORE ON THE TOWN CENTER BEFORE THEY HIT THE ROUNDS.

THEY CAN GO BEYOND THAT PARK AND MAKE SURE NOTHING'S GOING ON PER SE AND SHUT DOWN THAT ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST AS A WAY TO MANAGE THE ISSUE AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY SAID THAT VOLLEYBALL COURT OR OTHER AREAS THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN. 78 AND MORE IMPROVEMENT IDEAS ONE WILL BE TO ADD VOLLEYBALL COURTS IN THE OTHER FACILITIES.

IN THE COMMUNITY. THE OTHER ONE REALLY IS NUMBER EIGHT DEVELOPING A NEW MULTI COURT FACILITY ABOUT 1/4 MILLION DOLLARS IN STOCK AND WAY WE HAVE DOUBT THAT TAKING AWAY FACILITY THESE FOLKS ARE GOING TO THE FACILITY FOR SOME REASON IN TRYING USING THAT FACILITY.

USING THOSE IDEAS AND OPTIONS RECOMMENDATIONS AS A BOARD IS A COURSE OF ACTION AND OF COURSE I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS.

>> THANK YOU DOCTOR. I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION.

I RECEIVED ONE EMAIL FROM THE COUSINS.

BUT I DID SEVERAL OTHER RESIDENTS WHO ARE LIVING IN ORANGE COVE SAYING THAT IT'S AN ONGOING PROBLEM.

THE NOISE IN THE LIGHTS. AND AFTER HOURS AT 10:30 AND 11 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. VOLLEYBALL LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL

11 O'CLOCK. >> THE ONLY GOING WHEN

ACTIVATED. >> WHEN USING THE VOLLEYBALL COURT, YOU WOULD HAVE TO PRESS THEM UP AND NOBODY'S USING THE LIGHT AND ON WITH SOME ABILITY TO RUN UNTIL DUSK UNTIL 11 O'CLOCK. SO WE HAVE TO PHYSICALLY PUSH THE BUTTON. THE TITLES FOR AN HOUR TO PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN IF THEY WANT TO CONTINUE THE TIME.

BUT THEN THERE'S A HARD SHUT OFF AT 11 O'CLOCK UNLESS IT'S TAMPERED WITH. WE TRY TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE.

>> WITH THE MUSIC. THE PARK RANGERS MUSIC COMPLAINT AND RESIDENTS CALL THE NUMBER.

HEATHER PART NUMBERS WHO ADDRESS THAT ÃÃRESIDENTS SAY THAT THEY NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. I'M NOT THERE.

BUT I TEND TO THINK THAT IT'S MORE OF AN ISSUE THAN JUST ONE

[03:40:04]

>> GAVE AN ON-CALL SUPERVISOR. AND THEN YOU PRESS EXTENSION NINE. THAT'S ACTUALLY A SUPERVISOR IN THE PARKS DEPARTMENT. SUPERINTENDENT AND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR.S PEOPLE ROTATE BASIS OF THE RECALL TO 15 WEEKS. THEY TAKE ONE WEEK.

AND THEY ARE ON CALL TO HANDLE THOSE ISSUES.

AS A SUPERVISOR MAKE A DECISION ON HOW TO APPROACH THAT.

EITHER THERE IS SOMETHING THEY CAN DO I TURN ON LIGHTS FOR ATHLETIC FIELDS, WHICH SOME OF THE FOODS CAN ACTUALLY FROM THE PHONES. SO, WE ARE NOT DISPATCHING THEM THE RANGER. IF WE HAVE TO CALL RANGER, THERE IS A PHONE RANGER THAT WE REACH OUT TO THEM.

TO SAY HEY LISTEN, WE NEED TO GET OVER TO NORTH SHORE BECAUSE WE AMPLIFIED SOUND. SOMEONE'S GOT A STEREO SPEAKER THAT THEY SHOULD BE HAVING WHEN IT'S CAUSING CONFLICT WITH THE RESIDENTS.HIS ABOUT BALANCING THE RESIDENTS AND

REPUBLIC AND PARK. >> YOU ALREADY ON A TRAIN OF

THOUGHT. >> AND PARIS.

HE GO BACK ONE SLIDE TO SOME OF THE MITIGATION OPTIONS.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY AND PROPOSE? CUSTOMÁ EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I DID NOT PUT A RECOMMENDATION HERE. I KNOW THEY MAY NOT BE COMFORTABLE WITH THIS. I WOULD LIKE AT LEAST ONE MORE SHOT AT TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE YOU TAKE MORE DRASTIC EFFORTS, WHICH WOULD THAT'S THAT'S PART OF THE CHALLENGES WE HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES IN OTHER PARTS.

WHERE WE HAVE HAD THE MOST PROMINENT ONE IS PROBABLY WENT WOODS. WHEN THE BASKETBALL COURT AND TENNIS COURTS ARE LITERALLY 30 FEET OFF A RESIDENCE HOME.

COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TENNIS COURTS.

ABOUT THE LIGHTS IN THE BOOMBOX.

SAME TYPE OF ISSUES. AND WE PUT THE YOU KNOW, THE HOTSPOT AND HOTSPOT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.

AND WORKING ON THAT. THE CHALLENGE FOR THE BOARD AND FROM A COLLECTIVE STANDPOINT IS WHAT IS THE RIGHT TIME TO CLOSE THESE PARTS? THE CHALLENGE BECOMES ENCLOSED NORTH SHORE AT NINE, 9:30. AND SO, YOU DON'T HAVE A UNIFORM CONSISTENT STANDARD. WE HAVE 154 PARTS AND IF WE'RE GOING TO ÃÃYOU KNOW, OUT ALONG THE WAY, HUNDRED AND 54 DIFFERENT STANDARDS BECOMES VERY CHALLENGING TO ENFORCE.

BUT, SIX IS ONE OPTION AS WELL. LOOKING INTO DOING A TRIAL FOR THE NUMBER FIVE AS WELL. THEY HAVE BEEN DEDICATED TO A STAFF MEMBER THERE BETWEEN EIGHT AND 11.

>> IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT SEX HASN'T WORKED BECAUSE WE IMPLEMENT AND ENHANCE HOTSPOT PROGRAM IN AUGUST 2020 ÃTHIS

IS A BE SAID? >> THAT IS CORRECT.

WHAT THIS IS IS BASICALLY WE HAVE THREE RANGERS B1 DURING NIGHTS AND COVERING THE 44 SQUARE MILE.

IF THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON WARILY ISSUE IN THE REPAIR SOMETHING. THERE BEING A BOUNCED AROUND.

WHAT THIS ALSO DOES IS DOES THE PROGRAM THAT WE BEEN WORKING ON, ALSO BRINGS IN THE TOWNSEND TO REDUCE, WHICH TO START THEIR SHIFT AT 11 O'CLOCK. FROM THIS BUILDING.ND NOT BE GETTING TO THAT PART UNTIL ABOUT 11 MAY 11, 2006." THAT PART TO MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING IS GOING ON.

PER ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE SAYING.

>> I MEAN, >> THANK YOU JOHN.

>> PARK RANGER GROUP THAT IS PART OF THE ORIGINAL AUGUST 20 HOTSHOT GROUP. THIS IS THE TOWN CENTER RANGER GROUP. INTEGRATE.

ONCE BASED OUT OF MILLENNIUM FOR.

>> ATTORNEY: IS BASED OUT OF HERE.

AND SO, THE GROUP-BASED DATA HERE LEAVES HERE AT 11 PM TO DO THEIR OVERNIGHT EVENING MORNING SHIFT.

HAVING THAT GROUP STOP BY THE NORTH SHORE PARK TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SHUT DOWN BEFORE THEY MOVE ON TO A TOWERED CENTER

RESPONSIBILITY. >> I DON'T LIVE BY THAT PART.

WOULD SAY THAT IF IT DID LIVE BY A PARK AND LICENSE AND TOLD, THAT WOULD DEFINITELY AFFECT MY SLEEP HABITS.

I GO TO BED BETWEEN 930 AND 10 HONESTLY.

I THINK SINCE WE'VE TRIED AND ENHANCE HOTSPOT PROGRAM AND IT HASN'T BEEN EFFECTIVE, THE VERY LEAST, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE STAGE A PARK RANGER THERE FROM EIGHT TO Ã11.

[03:45:01]

I DON'T LIVE BY AN APARTMENT. I AS A RESIDENT, WOULD NOT WANT PEOPLE PLAYING. AND I PLAY TENNIS AT NIGHT.

OKAY? I WOULDN'T WANT PEOPLE PLAYING TENNIS OR VOLLEYBALL OR MUSIC NEAR MY HOUSE AT 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. I JUST THINK THAT THIS YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD LOOK AT BECAUSE IN AN AREA THAT IS SO CLOSE IN PROXIMITY TO RESIDENTS, I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE BALANCE THE CONSIDERATION OF LIFESTYLE AND RIGHTS OF THE RESIDENTIAL ALONG WITH HOW WE HANDLE THE PARK AND IF THAT MEANS PUTTING LIGHTS IN PARKS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL AREAS ÃÃ THAT IS SOMETHING I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND THAT WE CONSIDER ALSO.

>> I THINK ONE OF THE CHALLENGES ALL OF YOUR PARKS Ã THAT'S THE WAY THEY ARE BUILT OR CLOSE TO RESIDENTS.

THAT IS THE WAY THAT THIS MODEL OF THE MASTER PLAYING COMMUNITY PUT YOUR PARKS NEXT YEAR RESIDENTS.

>> WHEN THERE'S A CALM MADE MADE NOISE OR SOMEBODY IS BEING DISRUPTIVE, ÃÃTHE EXPERIENCE EFFECTIVE AS THEIR AUTHORITY

EFFICIENT? >> ME OF AN ISSUE WITH A RESIDENT ÃÃWHERE THEY DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE ORDER, WE ASKED THEM ONCE AND TWICE. AND THEN WE REACH OUT IN THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY. HER PRECINCT 4 IN HARRIS COUNTY. TO PROVIDE SUPPORT.

>> TO THE SURE OFFICERS ÃÃDO THEY PATROL THE PARK AT ALL?

>> THEY ARE IN. THEY ARE IN THE PARKS.

AT NIGHT. ARE THEY ÃÃTHEY DO A LOT OF REPORTS IN THERE. YOU WILL SEE THEM DOING THE REPORTS. SO, THERE IS ASSISTANCE FROM THAT AND THERE IS COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE RANGER NEWSGROUPS.

>> THE RANGER? >> SO, I'M SORRY.

I'M JUST GONNA SPEAK ON MY BEHALF.

WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE DISCUSS AND OR CONSIDER IS THAT WE STAGE A DEDICATED PARK RANGER UNTIL WE CAN EXPLORE ITEM NUMBER ONE AND THREE. ADD CONSIDER WHAT IT THE TIMEFRAME WOULD BE FOR THE LAST TIME THAT LIGHTS CAN BE TURNED ON AND ACCESS TO PLAY UNDER THE LIGHTS.

IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO IT IN THE DARK, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD CONSIDER THAT WE LOOK AT.

>> AND AGREE ON THAT. THOSE ARE THE TWO THAT I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT IN ADDITION. AS MUCH AS IT WOULD BE TO HAVE LIGHTS TO THREE VOLLEYBALL COURTS.

IT WOULD JUST DO THE SAME ISSUE OF PROBLEMS IN ANOTHER

NEIGHBORHOOD AS TEST TEST. >> I CAN SEE WHERE YOU DO THINK THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BARE-BONES PARK.

WHICH HAS THE BASKETBALL COURT THAT'S GOT THE AWNING THAT WE PUT IN. THAT IS ACTIVATED UNTIL 10 OR 11 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. WHICH IS WAY FROM RESIDENTS.

O RIVER AUTHORITY PLAY NEXT TO IT.

YOU'VE GOT THE CREEK NEXT TO. YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER ÃÃEXCUSE ME, ANOTHER PART. SO, IT'S BORDERED AND INSULATED A LOT MORE THAN MR. COUSINS IS SEEING A NORTH SHORE.

>> CHRIS, WE NEED ÃÃWHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME IS YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH AND WE NEED TO CLASSIFY.

EITHER NEIGHBORHOOD OR SPORTS FACILITY.> THERE ARE EIGHT.

YOU HAVE YOUR TOWNWIDE PARK. HICH IS ÃÃTHE NEXT LEVEL DOWN AS HIS VILLAGE PARK. THE PARK IS LEVEL.

YOU'D AREA PARK, WHICH IS THE TENNIS COURT AND THE BEST BALL CORPORATE SOMETIMES AS A SMALL FIELD AND NONE OF THOSE RELATED. THEN YOU GO DOWN TO ÃÃæ

>> YOU GOT NINE 30. YOU'RE TURNING OFF THE LIGHTS

AT 930. >> THAT WENT WITH, THEY ARE

ABLE TO GO TO 11 O'CLOCK. >> I THINK FOR TONIGHT, WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE SUGGESTION FROM REVEREND MILNER. IMPLEMENT NUMBER FIVE.

I WAS CAN ASK YOU IF WE ARE NOT EVEN DEDICATED TO JUST THIS ONE SPOT, WITH THIS PERSON BE BENEFICIAL IN A NONDEDICATED ROLE PATROLLING THE ENTIRETY OF THE COMMUNITY? SO, FORGET IT RESOLVED BY PUTTING SOMEBODY THERE AND WANT TO MOVE THAT PERSON AROUND, [INDISCERNIBLE]

>> WE CAN DO THIS IS A TEMPORARY TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF BEHAVIORAL CHANGE WE ARE GETTING.

AND THEN MAKE A DECISION AT A DIFFERENT TIME TO VISIT THIS IN THREE MONTHS OR SIX MONTHS OR WHATEVER TIME PERIOD YOU SO IDENTIFY. SEE IF IT'S WORKED OR DO WE NEED TO DO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT SOME OF THE OTHER DIRECTORS ARE SAYING REGARDING TO GLOBAL CHANGES OF TIMES.

THOSE ARE CHALLENGING FROM A PROBLEMATIC STANDPOINT.

[03:50:01]

>> THE WHOLE PARK NEXT TO THE HOUSES ÃÃAT THE VOLLEYBALL COURT AGAIN. THE GREEN SPACE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO SHUT THE ENTIRE PARK DOWN AT NINE BECAUSE THERE ARE AREAS WAY AWAY FROM THE HOUSING.

SO, LET'S GO AHEAD AND I THINK IT WOULD IS OKAY WITH FIVE.

PUTTING ADDED IN SEEING HOW IT'S GOING.

REVISITING IT AND COMING BACK AND SAYING IF WE NEED TO GET THE ITEMS THAT ARE ON THE LIST. IS THAT A FAIR ASSESSMENT?

>> HE CAME BACK WITH A PROPOSAL FOR ONE AND THREE.

AS IT RELATESTO THE VOLLEYBALL COURT AND THAT COURT.

HAVE THE VOLLEYBALL DELIGHTS AND ALL THAT AT NINE.

>> OKAY, TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. ONE, APPROVED TONIGHT.

ITEM NUMBER FIVE. SECONDARILY, ASKED STAFF TO COME BACK WITH TIGHTER RESTRICTIONS ON ONE AND THREE ISOLATED TO THE VOLLEYBALL COURT.

WE WOULD TAKE THAT AS A MOTION. >> TO MOVE.

>> SECOND. >> ALL IN FAVOR SAY I.

>> I. >> ANY POST?

THANK YOU DOCTOR LUMENS. >> YOU KNOW, JUST A CAVEAT.

YOU KNOW, IF WE TAKE DOWN THE TIME THAT ONE PARK AND LEAVE IT UP AND ALL THE REST OF THEM, PEOPLE HERE TO SAVE OTHER PEOPLE COMING IN AND SAYING HOW COME? SO, YOU GOTTA THINK ABOUT IT WHEN I AGREE WITH YOU.

WE HAVE A STANDARD IN THE PLAN O'CLOCK.

I MEAN, CAR 9:30 COULD PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN ALL THE LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE TOWNSHIP.

SOMETHING TO HIS POINT, THE CHALLENGES AND LOCATIONS AT THE

HAD THE SAME ISSUES PER. >> AGREED.

BUT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PARKS ÃÃTHERE'S NO REAL ISSUE FOR THAT. IT'S FINE.

BUT YOU KNOW, I'M JUST SAYING THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET OTHER PEOPLE COMING IN AND SAYING THAT SHUT IT DOWN AT 9 O'CLOCK, WE WANT TO SHUT IT DOWN AT 9 O'CLOCK.

AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE THAT. WE WILL.

[17. Receive, consider and act upon an update regarding coyotes in the Village of Creekside Park (as requested by Director Milner);]

>> ALL RIGHT. WE DIDN'T MAKE ANY TIME CHANGES. WE JUST GOT MORE PARK RANGERS.

WE ARE NOW ON ITEM 17. WE ARE DEALING WITH COYOTES AND VILLAGE CREEK AND VILLAGE CREEKSIDE PARK.

AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING TODAY.

>> OKAY. THIS IS A COYOTE UPDATE AND AS WE MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS ITEM, THIS IS A MASTER COMMUNITY. AND WITH THAT PLANE COMMITTEE, WE NOW HUNDRED 51 PARKS AND THEY ARE INTERCONNECTED BY A LARGE SERIES OF FORCE BUFFERS RESERVES AND PROVED RESERVES WHATEVER WE WANT TO CALL THEM. PROBABLY ABOUT TWO OR THREE OR FOUR YEARS AFTER STARTED IN HERE, I REALIZED THAT WE DON'T MANAGE 154 PARKS BUT WE MANAGE ONE PART THAT JUST HAPPENS TO HAVE 34,000 35,000 HOMES. THERE'S THAT BRINGS A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE TO THIS ISSUE AND WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, WE START TO REALIZE THAT WE ARE IN A FOREST.

AND SO, HAVING IN SEEING COYOTES AND ALLIGATORS AND FERAL HOGS IS NOT THAT UNCOMMON.

AND TO DATE, WE HAVE SEEN 13 OR BEEN REPORTED 13 FOR ALL HOGS, FOR ALLIGATORS, AND FIVE COYOTES.

AND SO, WHAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IS THAT WE ARE INFORMING THE PUBLIC THAT IF YOU ARE SEEING SOMETHING WHILE POSTING IT ON NEXT DOOR IS GREAT, IT'S REALLY GOOD TO REACH OUT TO US BY A 311 VIA EMAIL AND VIA ANY OF THE OTHER MEDIUMS THAT WE HAVE TO KIND OF REPORT THAT SAID THAT WE GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THAT. AND AGAIN TO THE COMMENT THAT THIS IS A 44 SQUARE MILE FORCED AREA.

WE HAVE RELIED ON FOR MOST OF OUR EFFORT EDUCATION FIRST TEST IS EVEN TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE SERVICE DROPPING AND EDUCATION IS REALLY THE KEY. WHEN WE GET COMMENTS FROM RESIDENTS ABOUT THE COYOTE OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT, WITH LIMITED EDUCATION, WHICH IS KEEPING THE PET FOOD AND WATER INSIDE. SECURE THE GARBAGE AND THE STEPS OF THINGS. NOT INVITE THE COYOTE INTO YOUR PORCELAIN PROPERTY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT COYOTES ARE PART OF THE ECOSYSTEM IN THE WOODLANDS AND IN GENERAL. AND THE EXIT PROVIDE PATROL AND ADDRESS SOME OF THE YOUNGLING'S ON PEARL HOGS.

IN TERMS O THE OLD LIFECYCLE THAT WE HAVE.

IF YOU WERE TO GO IN FORTHWITH REMOVING THOSE, YOU TAKE ONE PIECE OUT OF THE ECOSYSTEM. WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS THE BEST.

THE SIGHTINGS THAT WE MENTIONED, WE ACTUALLY LOG ALL THE SIGHTINGS. WE ACTUALLY HAVE A GOOGLE MAPS.

SO, WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE GETTING US.

AND WE'RE GOING TO GO INVESTIGATE THIS.

SOMEHOW, I MOST TEST WITH THE ALLIGATOR SIGHTINGS.

INSIDE THE PARK. AND WHAT WE ALSO FOUND OUT IS THAT A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE WILL SEE THINGS AND THERE'S NO EVIDENCE AND WE TALK TO PEOPLE AND CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT

[03:55:01]

WE'VE DONE EDUCATION TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES.

JOHN GEIGER IS STILL HERE. COULD GO KUDOS TO HIM.

THOSE ALERTS WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT FLYERS HELP AND SERVICE BLOGS. WHICH WOULD HAVE A WOODLANDS WALK IN THE WOODS. WE HAD SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES THAT WERE LASTLY I BELIEVE IT WAS.

AND WE ARE RESCHEDULING IT FOR A LATER DAY.

ONE OF THE BIGGER ISSUES OR CONCEPTS TO TRY POTENTIALLY TO FISH FURTHER MANAGE THESE ISSUES IS REALLY THE INTEGRATED FORCE MANAGEMENT PLAN. WHILE THIS PLAN WAS ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED THE 99 AND ADOPTED IN 03 AND THEN UPDATED AND 13.

IT REALLY SERVES AS A BIBLE ON HOW TO MANAGE THE FORCE WHICH INCLUDES WILDLIFE. WE DID A LINCOLN POND STUDY 2011. AND THE MISSING COMPONENT OF THAT IS THE WILDLIFE PLANE, WHICH IS NOT COMPLETED BY AN ESTIMATING TO $5000 EXPENSE TO WHICH IS UNBUDGETED AT THIS TIME. THE WILDLIFE PLAN WOULD REALLY PROVIDE DIRECTION FOR US AND A LIST OF ACTION.

ONLY GET THE CALLS ABOUT COYOTES, HERE'S WHAT WE DO.

AND IT ALSO PROVIDES A BASELINE CENSUS OF WHAT IS IN OUR COMMUNITY. HOW MANY COYOTES ARE IN THE COMMUNITY? COME REFERRAL HOGS ARE IN THE COMMUNITY? AND HOW MANY OF THE THINGS LIKE DUCKS AND RODENTS IN BEAVERS AND THINGS THAT WE GET COMMENTS FROM FROM THE STANDPOINT. THIS HAS BEEN ON THE TASK LIST TO DO FOR THIS WILDLIFE PLAN. UT HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET.

AND SO, TO PUT IT BACK ON THE BOARD, IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE COYOTES AND

THAT. >> AS IT RELATES TO THE POPULATION, I CAN ATTEST THAT THERE ARE TWO ADULTS AND FIVE YOUNG COYOTES THAT HANG OUT IN BETWEEN CREEKSIDE JUNIOR HIGH AND KIRKENDALL ROAD. BECAUSE ON ELECTION DAY, IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE ABOUT 100 KIDS IN THAT WOODED AREA HAVING A PARTY. SO, I WALKED OVER THERE TO SEE WHAT IT WAS. AUNT WAS TO ADULT COYOTES AND FIVE CHILDREN. AND I'VE BEEN ÃÃI HAD A RESIDENT TEXT ME AND SAY HEY THEY'RE HERE.

I TOLD MY WIFE THAT I GOT A RUN OVER THERE AND CHECKING EFFORT I GO OVER AND CHECK IT OUT AND THERE THEY ARE AGAIN.

HAT'S AN AREA WHERE AT LEAST TWO AND FIVE LIKE TO HANG OUT.

>> I THINK THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE ONE FROM ÃÃIT'S VERY

SICKLY COYOTE.>> ONE OF THEM IS VERY SICKLY.

>> YES. AND THERE ARE SOME RESOURCES TO SPARK WILDLIFE. IF IT BECOMES A NUISANCE PROBLEM. WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO SAY IS THAT AT THIS POINT, WHILE THERE ARE SIGHTINGS, PEOPLE SEE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THINK THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE, BUT IT'S ALSO TRYING TO GET ALL THE INFORMATION FROM THAT CENSUS DATA. SAY OKAY, HOW LARGE OF A POPULATION IS THERE GLOBALLY IN THE WOODLANDS AND WHAT ARE THE RIGHT MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES AND THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE

WILDLIFE PLANE. >> MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT THE STUDENTS WALK FROM A WILDLIFE RESCUE THE ON THIS INTERSECTION. THE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT.THE COYOTES SEEM TO WANT TO HANG ON THAT WOODED AREA AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE SCOPING OUT DINNER OR JUST SEEMS TO BE WHERE IT IS. BUT THE ÃJUST THAT GROUP REALLY LIKES TO HANG OUT IN THE WOODED AREA.

IN BETWEEN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND THE INTERSECTION.

CUSTOMÁ IF YOU GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE DATA, AND I'M NOT A COYOTE EXPERT, BUT THEY HAVE ANALYZED EXACTLY WHAT THE COYOTES EAT. IT IS VERY LITTLE OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. ONE PERCENT.

SO, THE DIET IS NOT FINDING SOMETHING LIKE THE RESIDENCE CAT OR DOG. THAT IS VERY RARE.

>> A COMMENT ABOUT THE DIET. I WAS READING.

>> PROBABLY LITTLE BEYOND. RIGHT THERE.

>> YOU ADDRESS THE POINTS. GAIN, TO PREVIOUS ITEM, WHICH WAS DOGGY POOP GOING INTO THE STORM DRAIN.

INDIFFERENCE TO THE CHAIRMAN. IN THE WARM WATER AND COMMITTEE. BUT, THE POINT IS THAT SCOTT FROM WILD ANIMALS DOES NOT HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT APPARENTLY ACCORDING TO THE SCIENTISTS WHO DO THESE THINGS.

THAT DOMESTIC ANIMALS HAVE. ADD MAYBE JOHN GEIGER CAN ADDRESS THE ON THE WEBSITE. BUT I FIND THAT TO BE

FASCINATING. >> JOHN AND I HAVE ACTUALLY HAD LONG CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT EXACTLY.

>> THE EXACT ISSUE. >> A THOUGHTFUL TO QUIT AWARE

ABOUT. >> IT'S BECAUSE WHAT THEY ARE FEEDING ON COYOTES AND OTHER ANIMALS IS NATURAL BASED.

IT'S NOT A MAN-MADE FEED THAT YOU WOULD BUY AT A PET SUPPLY STORE OR SOMETHING WHICH IS MORE PROCESSED.

>> THEY ALSO EAT PLANTS. THAT'S THE NATURAL BASED DIET.

AND JOHN, DID GET A PICTURE A LITTLE BIT OF SCAP.

I THINK THE WEBSITE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S WEBSITE.

[04:00:02]

THAT'S FROM A COYOTE. >> VERY DIFFERENT FROM YOUR PET DOG. SO YES, YOU ARE RIGHT.

HE PATHOGENS AND THE WASTE AND ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE, LARGER THAN WHAT YOU WOULD FIND IN WILDLIFE IS WHAT CHRIS JUST SAID. THE DIGHTON DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PRODUCES VERY DIFFERENT PRODUCT.

THE PERVADES IN THE DOG WITH THIS.

WILDLIFE WASTE HASN'T HAVE THE SAME EFFECT.

IN VASTLY DIFFERENT NUMBERS AND POPULATIONS ALSO.

DOGS VERSUS COYOTES. >> DOG POOP BAD COYOTE POOP GOOD. WE HAVE ANY OTHER ACTIONS TO TAKE ON THIS? [LAUGHTER] I'M JUST POOPED.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.

BOB, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WANTED TO DO? OKAY. WE WANT TO TAKE ACTION ON THE ITEM AND WE WENT OUT TO GO TO AGENDA ITEM 18.

>> I JUST DID A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH.

I HAVE TO READ THIS. COYOTE ATTACKS ON PEOPLE ARE VERY RARE. MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED BY AREA GOLF BALLS AND FLYING CHAMPAGNE CORKS EACH YEAR THAN ARE BITTEN

[18. Receive, consider and act upon the appointment of newly elected Directors to The Woodlands Township Economic Development Zone Board of Directors;]

IN ACCORDANCE WITH RESOLUTION NUMBER 014Ä7. WHICH CREATED THE EDC OR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ZONE. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ÃÃHAS THE GOVERNING BOARD. SO, WHAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS TO APPOINT THE NEWLY ELECTED TOWNSHIP DIRECTORS TO THE
