AYE. ANY OPPOSED QUESTION NO DISSENSIONS.

>> GENDER MY EIGHT RECEIVE AND CONSIDER AND ACT UPON A MINISTRY OF REPORTS FOR

COMMUNITY SERVICE FOR COVID 19. TODD D STEVENS. >> DO YOU THINK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN. I WANT TO GIVE A QUICK UPDATE FOR OUR CORONAVIRUS ACTIVITIES IN WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY. THE GOOD NEWS IS AS THE DELTA VARIANT SURGE HAS STARTED TO ISH WE'RE STARTING TO SEE POSITIVE IMPACTS OF THAT HERE IN THE OMMUNITY. THIS IS A SUMMARY FROM A REGIONAL ERSPECTIVE ON TRENDS THAT ARE GOING ON. WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT ABOUT THE SLIDE IS THE FAR RIGHT SIDE.

OU CAN SEE THE THREE DOWNWARD TRENDS ON THE SEVEN-DAY AVERAGES RELATED TO THE TOTAL PATIENTS AND HOSPITAL CENSUSES AND THEN THE OPERATIONAL BEDS. FOR HARRIS COUNTY THE HOSPITAL CENSUS HAS DROPPED SUBSTANTIALLY AND WE ARE BELOW 7%.

[00:20:10]

WE WILL GO OVER THE CENSUS DATA THAT WAS USED AND HOW THEY CAME TO THEIR METHODOLOGY USED IN

[00:20:14]

THE CENSUS DATA TO HELP EXPLAIN HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIT INTO THAT DATA SHIFTED AS WELL.

AND SO SOME POSITIVE STEPS SO WE ARE STILL INCHING CLOSER AND CLOSER BUT WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT TO GO BEFORE WE HAVE SOME POSITIVE AFFIRMATION OF OUR POSITION IN TRYING TO GET THE FUNDING THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE DUE. JUST AS A SUMMARY THE CARES ACT FUNDING IS A SHORTFALL FROM MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND ITS I'VE $.8 MILLION.

I THINK THAT HAS THE RECEIPT THAT WE SUBMITTED. >> USER THAT IS ACTUALLY THE APPLICATION AND MATERIAL SUPPORTING THE CARES ACT REQUEST THAT WE MADE FOR THAT.

>> THAT IS WHAT WE ARE WAITING ON WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY REMAIN IN OUR FAVOR.

AND THEN IT'S UP TO $30 MILLION AND I'VE HAD PEOPLE TELL ME THAT THAT SHIP HAS SAILED BUT

IT HASN'T ACTUALLY FAILED ITS ACTIVE IN AN APPEALS PROCESS. >> CORRECT ANSWER.> AND AMARAL THAT THE TREASURY PROVIDED EARLIER THIS SUMMER WE PROVIDED HER, AND THEY HAVE NOT CLOSED THAT RULE. THEY ARE REVIEWING OUR COMMON AMONG THE OTHER THOUSAND THAT THEY RECEIVED.HEY WILL COME TO THAT IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WE ARE ACTUALLY HAVING POSITIVE IMPACT FROM DIALOGUE WITH THE FOLKS A DRAFT OF THE LEGISLATION WHO HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE METHODOLOGY AND HELPING THEM UNDERSTAND OUR POSITION, WHILE WE BELIEVE WE FIT INTO THEIR DEFINITION OBVIOUSLY GETTING THEM TO AFFIRM AND JOIN US IN

THAT POSITION. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR TODD? >> IF THERE ARE NO OTHER

[9. Receive, consider and act upon a report on major intersection projects including, but not limited to Research Forest Drive and Grogan's Mill (as requested by Chairman Bunch); ]

QUESTIONS WE HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE UPDATE. >> AND TO ACCEPT.

>> A SECOND. >> THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY EXTENSIONS?

THANK YOU TY. >> SOME OF US TO ATTEND ITEM 9. RECEIVE, CONSIDER AND ACT

UPON RESEARCH FOREST DRIVE AND GROGAN SMELL. >> INFANTRYMAN WANTED TO PROVIDE AN DATE AS WELL AS THE AUDIENCE TO SOME OF THAT WITH CURRENT CONSIDERATION IN THIS PARTICULAR IN OTHER INTERSECTIONS AS WELL. WE DO HAVE SOME RENDERINGS WE DO HAVE A GUEST MEMBER AND RNS THAT WOULD MEAN LIKE TO PRESENT AS WELL.

>> WHO HAS THE INITIAL SLIDE DECK? >> A COUPLE OF YEARS AGOWE HAD A MEETING AND WE HELD A TOWN HALL HERE REGARDING GROGANS MILL AND RESEARCH FORESTS INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS. BACK AT THE TIME IT WAS BEING SUGGESTED THAT WE PUT IN AN UNDERPASS OR AN UNDERPASS OR AN OVERPASS. AFTER A LOT OF FEEDBACK THE PROJECT WAS TABLED AND IT WAS INTENDED TO BE REVISITED. THE MAYOR IF YOU WANT TO COME UP THE MAYOR, MYSELF AND CHARLIE RILEY WERE CALLED OVER THE SPRING.

THEY PROVIDED AN UPDATE ON WHAT THEY HAD STUDIED AND DETERMINED HE WANTED TO DO THIS INTERSECTION. THIS WASN'T THE COLLABORATIVE PROCESS THAT WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD BE GOING THROUGH. WE WANTED TO UPDATE THE PUBLIC ECAUSE THIS IS STILL AN ACTIVE PROJECT BEING PROPOSED. THE PROPOSAL THAT WAS BEING PRESENTED TO US BACK IN APRIL SHOWS THE CHANGE. THESE ARE THE DIFFERENT THINGS IN DIFFERENT DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT ARE LOOK THAT THAT KIND OF SHOWS YOU WITH THE ULTIMATE DESIGN WOULD BE.

WE STILL SHARE CONCERN ABOUT THIS INTERSECTION. THE MAYOR AND I AND COMMISSIONER RILEY ARE TRYING TO WORK ON SOME AGGREGATE SOLUTIONS.

[00:25:02]

IT WOULD BETTER FIT THE DESIRE OF OUR RESIDENTS AS WELL AS A COMMERCIAL INTEREST ON THE FOUR CORNERS WITH THIS PARTICULAR INFECTION. I BELIEVE SHANNON IS STILL

OPPOSED TO THE CONCEPT OF AN OVERPASS. >> MADDIE WENT AWAY IN?

>> THANK YOU FOR STARTERS ABSOLUTELY THE RESIDENTS HAVE SPOKEN TO THIS AND I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO SINGLE RESIDENTS YET THAT IS IN FAVOR OF AN OVERPASS.

THEY ARE STILL IN FAVOR OF THAT GREAT SOLUTION AND OBVIOUSLY THE RESIDENTS THAT I SPOKE TO THE TWO MAIN SENT THINGS THAT THEY ARE CONCERNED WITH OUR SAFETY OF THE INTERSECTION AND THEN TRAFFIC LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. WE KNOW THAT SERVICE LEVELS ARE IN GOOD SO WE HAVE HAD THE WELD ENGINEERING FIRM WORK WITH US TO DO STUDIES ON THIS INTERSECTION AND WE THINK THAT IS A SOLUTION BASED ON THEIR MODELING THAT THEY'VE DONE WHICH WILL PROVIDE VERY GOOD SERVICE LEVELS UNTIL 45 IF NOT MISTAKEN.

WE CAN COME UP WITH SOME WAYS TO KEEP THAT INTERSECTION A LITTLE SAFER AS WELL.

NOT ONLY THE RESIDENTS OF THE BUSINESSES THAT I'VE SPOKEN TO IN THE AREA AS WELL.

I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO A SINGLE BUSINESS THAT IS IN FAVOR OF IT OF AN OVERPASS.

WE THINK THERE'S A GREAT SOLUTION THERE THAT WILL WORK AND IT WILL BE MUCH CHEAPER.

IT WILL PROVIDE THE SERVICE LEVELS WE ARE LOOKING FOR. WE ARE IN FAVOR OF THAT.

>> I THINK WE HAD LOWER CONSIDERATION OF THAT QUESTION. >> I ATTENDED A MEETING IN APRIL AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS MY WE WILL ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF THAT

INTERSECTION. >> AMIR QUICKLY POINTED OUT THAT THIS INVOLVES LAND WITHIN THE CITY OF SHENANDOAH AND HIS COMMUNITY WAS AGAINST IT WHEN THERE WAS A COMMENT MADE BY COMMISSIONER NOWAK THAT THEY CAN ENGINEER THIS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY CAN BUILD IT WITHOUT HAVING THERE. THAT WAS CONCERNING. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FOUR ENTITIES WORKING IN CONCERT TO STUDY TOGETHER. AND THEN THAT BEING STUDIED OF ISOLATIONS. WE HAVE WORKED WITH COMMISSIONER RILEY AND THE MAYOR ON ALTERNATIVES AND I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A SOLUTION IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

>> IT SOUNDS LIKE IT. >> IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BOTH OF YOU ARE AT THE MEETING. I THINK TOWARDS THE END OF THAT MEETING ACTUALLY ASKED THAT THERE'S NO COST FOR THE OTHER PROJECT BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE A COST FOR THE OUR GREAT SOLUTION AND I ASKED ABOUT IT. THE RESPONSE WAS THAT'S BECAUSE THAT WAS OFF THE TABLE AND IT

WAS NOT VIABLE. >> THAT CAME FROM THE INDIVIDUALS AND CONSULTANTS WHO

THEY HAD HIRED CORRECT? >> I BELIEVE SO. >> IF I GO BACK AND LOOK AT MY NOTES IT DID. IT CONCLUDED AND AGAIN IT RUINS MY MEMORY IS DIFFERENT.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE CITY OF SHENANDOAH EQUALLY.

IF NOT AS MUCH TO THE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP. THEIR SAFETY WITH MY PRIORITY

AND MY TAKE AWAY FROM THE. >> MY BIGGEST CONCERN WAS THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T DISCLOSE THE COST ESTIMATE FOR THE SOLUTION. IT FEELS A LOT LIKE THEY WERE LEANING TOWARDS THE OVERPASS WHICH BASED ON OUR DATA IT WOULD GET US THROUGH 2045.

IT'S A VIABLE SOLUTION FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST. I AGREE WITH YOU 100%.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY SETTLED ON EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE PROPOSING.

THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THEIR PROPOSALS AND BASIN I DOUBT IT SHOULD BE.

[00:30:05]

>> THE PRESENTATION WE GOT WAS CERTAINLY 2045 BEFORE THERE WAS ANY REAL NEED TO DO ANYTHING.

AS YOU KNOW I LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TWO THAT INTERSECTION EVERY DAY.

I WANT TO PUBLICLY AND PERSONALLY THINK COMMISSIONER RILEY FOR ADDING THE RIGHT TURN LANE ON THE SOUTHBOUND SIDE OF GROGANS MILL BECAUSE IT MADE AN ENORMOUS DIFFERENCE.

FRANKLY THEY JUST ADD ONE MORE LANE GOING NORTHBOUND ON GROGANS MILL I THINK THAT THAT

WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE WOULD TAKE A LOT LESS TREES. >> IS PROBABLY A LOT MORE ROOM UP THERE WITHOUT TAKING MORE TREES WHICH WOULD BE A BUS FOR EVERYBODY.

THE POINT ABOUT THE MOST IS WE TALK ABOUT A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BUT WHEN WE SAY WERE NOT ON BOARD DOESN'T MATTER. YOU AND I MET WITH THE OPERATING COMPANY FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN THIS CAME UP FOR THE FIRST TIME. WE SAT DOWN AND TALKED ABOUT IT AND WENT THROUGH THE VARIOUS OPTIONS AND SAID THAT AN OVERPASS AT THE TIME WAS ABSOLUTELY AND COMPLETELY OUT OF THE QUESTION. IT PROBABLY ONE OF HER FOR ANOTHER 15 TO 20 YEARS. I KNOW THAT THE OWNERS OF THE HIGH POST WERE POSTED US.

WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE WHERE THIS GOES. THERE'S ENOUGH HOUSES THAT ARE VERY CLOSE TO THAT SECTION. AN OVERPASS WOULD CHANGE THE NATURE OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT CONSIDERABLY. I THINK THAT THAT HAS TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN WE'RE DOING THIS AND MAYBE IT AN OVERPASS WHICH IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION BUT THE MOST IS THE EFFECT OF A SOLUTION FOR HOME? I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO GO OFF AND DO THOSE THEY NEED TO EXPECT THAT THERE WILL BE OPPOSITION. IN VOCAL OPPOSITION TO BUILDING AN OVERPASS AT THAT

INTERSECTION. >> CHAIRMAN WHAT IS THE FUNDING SOURCE FOR THE PROPOSED

INTERSECTION CHANGES HERE? >> I THINK THE WOODLANDS UTILITY DISTRICT HAD SOME FUNDING THAT WAS LEFT OVER THAT WAS BEING CONSIDERED TO USE AND I THINK PRECINCT 3 WAS LOOKING AT CONTRIBUTING PRECINCT TO WITH PART OF THIS AREA. WE MET WITH COMMISSIONER RILEY AND I THINK HE ALONG WITH THE MAYOR AND I ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THAT IS REALLY THE ONLY PALATABLE OPTION. I THINK WE WERE CONCERNED WHEN WE GOT INTO THE MEETING THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION PROVIDED WAS AN OVERPASS. THE ALTERNATIVES WERE NOT

CONSIDERED. >> TO BE CLEAR THERE WILL BE NO BOND ISSUE THAT THE RESIDENTS OF THE ISSUE CAN VOTE ON AN ORDER TO WIN ON THIS DECISION?

>> THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT ULTIMATELY IS CHOSEN. WE BELIEVE THEY HAVE GREAT SOLUTIONS AND IT COULD BE FUNDED WITH CASH ON HAND BECAUSE THEY ARE WAY LESS EXPENSES. TWO TO $3 MILLION TO IMPROVE VERSES 20.

THE ORIGINAL DIALOGUE WE HAD WAS REALLY THIS INTERSECTION, LIKE WOODLANDS AND GARLANDS NO NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AN INTERSECTION SITTING UP I 45 HAS A TOTAL REGIONAL SOLUTION INSTEAD OF JUST ISOLATED TO ONE INTERSECTION. THAT DIDN'T INCUR.

THE ONLY SECTION IS NOT UPDATED WITH THE ANNUALLY PROPOSED SOLUTION WAS AN OVERPASS.

>> WE HAVE ABOUT $7 MILLION LEFT FOR ROAD PROJECTS. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT

[00:35:02]

INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AT LAKE WOODLANDS AND GROGANS MILL .

AS WELL AS RESEARCH FOREST AND THEIR SUFFICIENT MONEY TO FUND BOTH OF THOSE.

PAND IN ACTUAL FACT THE OWNERS OF MARKET STREET AND DOCTOR ROB WHO IS THE PASTOR OF WITH THE METHODIST CHURCH ALSO WAS OPPOSED TO THE PROPOSED OVERPASS AT LAKE WOODLANDS.

HE WAS ADVOCATING FOR THAT SOLUTION. I'M A LITTLE PUZZLED THAT EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY SEEMS TO THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO WORK.

THIS IS WHAT EVERYBODY HAS BEEN ADVOCATING AND REALLY WHAT THE ONLY SUBSTANCE DISCUSSIONS THAT HAVE HAD AND HAD ABOUT IT. AND NOW THE IDEA OF INTRODUCING OVERPASSES AT THOSE

INTERSECTIONS. >> THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS GIVEN WAS NOT GIVEN A COST.

WHEN I ASKED A SENSE OF THE PROJECT WAS $5 MILLION. I DON'T THINK THE SERVICE LEVELS WERE THE SAME. I THINK MY POINT WOULD BE IF I'M PRECINCT 3 AND I'M LOOKING AT IT AND THE NUMBER IS AS HIGH AS 5 MILLION THAT MAYBE UNDERSTAND WHY AT GREAT WASN'T AS ATTRACTIVE. I THINK ONCE THEY SEE THOSE THAT MAY CHANGE.

IF COMMISSIONER RILEY IS ABLE TO MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS IN HIS PORTION OF THE INTERSECTION BUT HE'S ABLE TO MAKE AND IS GONNA MAKE THAT BIG OF A SERVICE-LEVEL DIFFERENCE IN THAT BIG OF A SAFETY DIFFERENCE FOR SUCH A FRACTION OF THE COST THEN IT WOULD STAND TO REASON THAT PRECINCT 3 MAY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND SAY HEY THAT'S NOT BAD MAYBE WE DO NEED TO JUMP ON BOARD WITH THAT NEXT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WAS RICH?HAT COMMISSIONER RILEY SPENT ON

THAT? >> HE IS AND SPEND ANYTHING ON IT YET.

>> THE QUESTION I'M ASKING IS IMPROVEMENT THAT WAS MADE HOW MUCH THAT RIGHT ON LANE TURN N

COST? >> ANY IDEA QUESTION. >> A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND.

>> IT IS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THAT INTERSECTION.

>> APPEARS PURPOSE OF TINNITUS TO BRING AWARENESS OF THIS IS A STILL ACTIVE PROJECT AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THE PRECINCT TO WITH COMMISSIONER RILEY WHO FUNDED THE ALTERNATIVES TO THIS. WE ARE AGAINST THE OVERPASS OPTIONS AT THIS INTERSECTION

AND THE ONE AT LAKE WITH FUNDS AND GROGANS MILL AS WELL. >> AND HOPEFUL THAT ONCE WE PRESENT THIS THEY WILL BE IN CONCERT WITH US.E JUST NEED TO COME UP WITH A GOOD

SOLUTION. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR THOUGHTS?

[10. Receive, consider and act upon Incorporation Planning Study matters (as requested by Chairman Bunch); ]

IF NOT THEN WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND TO APPROVE THE UPDATE ON THIS INTERSECTION.

>> AND MOVE. >> I SECOND. >> THOSE IN FAVOR SAY A.

>> ANY OPPOSED?D? >> THANK YOU MAYOR. >> AND KEYBOARD AND CHAIRMAN.

>> AGENDA ITEM 10. RECEIVE, CONSIDER AND ACT UPON INCORPORATION PLANNING STUDY

MATTERS. >> I WILL BE BRIEF THIS EVENING.

WE HAVE TWO PROPOSITIONS APPEARING ON THE BALLOT IN EARLY OUTING IS IT WAS BASED ON LEGAL WITH THE ENABLING LEGISLATION. THE TWO PROPOSITIONS ARE PROPOSITION EIGHT WHICH PROPOSES AND CREATES THE CITY OF WHAT LIFE WITH A MAXIMUM INITIAL TAX RATE. RESIDENTS CAN VOTE FOR OR AGAINST US.

IT WILL AUTHORIZE THE TAIPEI CITY INCORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP DISTRICT AND THE ADOPTION OF THE INITIAL PROPERTY TAX RATE OF NOT MORE THAN 22 POINT .317 TAXABLE PROPERTY. PROPOSITION B DEPENDS ON PROPOSITION A PASSING.

IT TRANSFERS THE RIGHT OF THE P TO THE RIGHT OF RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITIES TO DISSOLVE THE TOWNSHIP. RESIDENTS CAN VOTE FOR OR AGAINST THIS E AND UPON INCORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP DISTRICT AT THE TAIPEI GENERAL LOST CITY TO BE CALLED THE CITY

[00:40:03]

OF THE E WOODLANDS AND THE TRANSFER OF THE RIGHTS, POWERS AND PRIVILEGES WITH FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. THE AUTHORITY TO ISSUE BONDS AND THE AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE TAXES FROM THE DISTRICT TO THE NEW CITY. AS I MENTIONED VOTING IS UNDERWAY. OCTOBER 22 IS THE LAST DAY TO APPLY FOR A BALLOT BY MAIL AND THAT IS THE DAY NEEDS TO BE RECEIVED BY THE COUNTY ELECTION OFFICE NOT POSTMARKED.

THE LAST DAY OF VOTING BY A PERSONAL APPEARANCE IS OCTOBER 29.

BOTH COUNTIES DO HAVE SOME VERSIONS OF WE CAN VOTING. MONTGOMERY COUNTY VOTERS ARE ABLE TO VOTE ON SATURDAY AND IN HARRIS COUNTY THEY ARE ABLE TO VOTE ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY.

OF COURSE ELECTION DAY IS NOVEMBER 2. IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE IN THIS ELECTION HE MUST BE A REGISTERED VOTER IN THE COUNTY RESIDENTS AND YOU MUST RESIDE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP. VOTER REGISTRATION INFORMATION, IT IS TOO LATE TO REGISTER BUT IF YOU WANT TO CHECK ON THE STATUS AND SEE WHERE YOUR APPROPRIATE VOTING LOCATION IS WE CAN CHECK THE COUNTY ELECTION WEBSITE WHICH FOR MONTGOMERY COUNTY AS DEBBIE DEBBIE DEBBIE. MONTGOMERY BOATS.ORG AND FOR HARRIS COUNTY AS DEBBIE WW. HARRIS VOTE.ORG. ON ELECTION MONTGOMERY OUNTY WILL BE REQUIRED TO VOTE AT YOUR PRESENT ON. IN HARRIS TY THEY EY UTILIZED POLLING PLACES. THE TOWNSHIP WEBSITE DOES LIST THE POLLING PLACES BUT IN THE EVENT THAT ANYTHING CHANGES MAKE SURE THAT YOU SHOW UP AND WE DO ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT THE COUNTY WEBSITE. IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION ON THE ELECTION AS I MENTIONED WE DO HAVE THAT AVAILABLE ON THE TOWNSHIP WEBSITE. IF YOUÉNOVEMBER ELECTION WILL TAKE YOU DIRECTLY TO THE SECTION OF OUR WEBSITE AND OF COURSE THERE IS MANY SORTS OF INFORMATION REGARDING THE INCORPORATION STUDY AND A VARIETY OF VIDEOS, FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND MOR ARE AVAILABLE AT THE INCORPORATION STUDY WEBSITE.

>> WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR KAREN? THANK YOU KAREN.

NEXT UP IS GOING TO BE MOANMONI SHARP. >> THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING.

TONIGHT I'M GOING TO GIVE US SHORT PRESENTATION COMPARED TO SOME OF MY PREVIOUS ONES BUT MAINLY FOCUSING ON THE INCORPORATION TENURE PLAN BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME QUESTIONS. WE PREVIOUSLY PREVENT PRESENT AT THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN BUT WE HAD QUESTIONS REGARDING AFTER THAT 50 YEAR AND GOING FOR THE NEXT FIVE.

THAT'S WHAT WE WILL DISCUSS TONIGHT. I'M GONA START OFF WITH MY STANDARD THAT I'VE USED FOR THE PAST COUPLE REPRESENTATIONS REMIND EVERYONE THAT THE REASON THAT WE AT LEAST FOR ME THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO PRESENT THIS INFORMATION AND CLEAR OF ANY MISCOMMUNICATION IS BECAUSE WE HAVE VARIOUS ENTITIES THAT RELY ON THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF OUR INFORMATION. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY HAVE CONFIDENCE TO CONTINUE TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THOSE NUMBERS. I WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT WHEN WE PREPARE OUR FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS AND DO PURPORTED IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD. WE USE BEST PRACTICES AND RESOURCES FROM THE GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION AND THEN WE ALSO ARE VERY MINDFUL OF THE CRITERIA THAT IS USED AND REQUIRED BY OUR CREDIT RATING AGENCIES.

[00:45:06]

THIS IS A TOPIC ON NEXT WEEK'S AGENDA BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT IT'S NOT TAKING MY WORD THAT WE ARE DOING THESE. PART OF THAT IS TO AFFIRM THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING THIS PRACTICE AND THAT WE SUBMIT OUR BUDGET AND FIVE-YEAR PLAN AND OUR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT TO THE GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL OFFICERS ASSOCIATION EACH YEAR. THE TOWNSHIP HAS RECEIVED THE DISTINGUISHED BUDGET PRESENTATION AWAY AND A CERTIFICATE FOR EXCELLENCE IN FINANCIAL REPORTING. FROM THE BUDGET AWARD THAT PUTS US IN THE TOP 2% OF THE NATION.

OUT OF ABOUT 90,000 ENTITIES THAT ARE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY IN THAT PROGRAM WE HAVE ONE THAT IS 1700 THAT RECEIVED THAT AWARD AND FOR THE CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT AND FINANCIAL REPORTING WE WERE IN THE TOP 5%. IT IS A RIGOROUS POLICY THAT WE POLICY SO I WANNA EXPRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION THAT I AM REQUIRED TO PRESENT. ANOTHER PIECE OF EVIDENCE AS I'VE SHOWN AS WE FROM THE CREDIT AGENCIES DO DETAILED ANALYSIS OF OUR FINANCIAL REPORTING AND AS WE HAVE REPORTED WE HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED AN UPGRADE IN OUR CREDIT RATING TO A DOUBLE A+ WHICH IS THE HIGHEST RATING ACHIEVED BY ANY SPECIAL-PURPOSE DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

I'M GOING TO GO INTO THE TENURE PLAN. THESE WERE THE ASSUMPTIONS.

RIGHT NOW THE TENURE PLAN IS A 2026 2025 IS THE IF THE VOTERS WERE TO IMPROVE INCORPORATION NOT AS THE FINAL YEAR OF THE TRANSITION. 2026 IS THE END OF OUR CURRENT FIVE-YEAR PLAN AND THEN WE WENT OUT AN ADDITIONAL FIVE YEARS LONGER TO 2031.

WITH MAINTAINING THE PROPERTY TAX RATE THERE IS NO INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE AND WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOWER PROPERTY REVALUATIONS FROM THE CURRENT AND MAINTAINING A SALES TAX GROWTH ASSUMPTION OF 2.75%. WHEN I TALK ABOUT THE PROPERTY REVALUATIONS I'VE SEEN A LOT OF INFORMATION OUT THERE SO I WANT TO CLARIFY WHAT THAT MEANS. IN TERMS OF THE DIFFERENT OF THE 1% AND A 10% VALUATION 1% HAS LONG BEEN ACCEPTED AS BASED ON PRIOR CRITERIA.

THEY SUPPORTED A 2% REVALUATION ON THE AVERAGE VALUE HOME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1% AND 2% WITH $10 ON AN ANNUAL BASIS OR 83.3 CENTS MONTHLY. OPERATING REVENUES ARE SHOWN HERE ON THE BLUE LINE OBVIOUSLY WOULD NOT WANT EXPENSES FOR EXCEEDING REVENUES.

THE TOWNSHIP USES THAT GAP IN FUNDING AND WE FIND OUR RESERVES TO FIND ARE OPERATING AND CAPITAL REPLACEMENT RESERVES. YOU CAN SEE THE TENURE PLAN BASED ON THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT A MINUTE AGO WE WERE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT WITH A STEADY LINE BETWEEN REVENUES AND EXPENSES. WHAT THAT DOES ULTIMATELY TO THE RESERVE BALANCES AS YOU CAN SEE THE GREEN REPRESENTS OUR OPERATING RESERVE SO THAT IS

[00:50:01]

NOT IMPACTED BECAUSE IT'S ANOTHER QUESTION THAT I'VE GOT. FIRST WE WOULDN'T DO THAT BECAUSE THAT'S A VIOLATION OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND YOU'VE GONE OVER THAT BEFORE.

OUR CREDIT RATING WITH TANKS SO IT'S A VIOLATION OF YOUR POLICY.

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE WOULD DO. YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT THE OPERATING RESERVE MAINTAINS ITS MINIMUM BALANCE OF 40% AND IN FACT HAS ADDITIONAL CAPACITY. OUR CAPITAL REPLACEMENT RESERVES IS AT THE END OF 10 YEARS WITH ADDITIONAL CAPACITY THERE AND WHAT IS REQUIRED PER HOUR RESERVE STUDY. OF COURSE WE DON'T TOUCH OUR NONDISCRETIONARY RESERVES BECAUSE THEY ARE FOR THE MOST PART LEGALLY CONSTRAINED. AT THE END OF THAT WE ALSO HAVE CAPACITY IN WHAT IS REPRESENTED IN THE BLUE THERE. YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT GROWS THROUGHOUT THE TENURE PLAN. IT DOESN'T DECREASE ACTUALLY GROWS BECAUSE AS WE ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ASSUMPTIONS BECAUSE INTO THE GAP THAT WE ARE SEEING THERE.

WE ALSO HAVE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY THERE THAT FUTURE BOARDS CAN USE TO DETERMINE HOW

THAT WOULD BE USED. >> THIS IS THE ABOUT THE BLUE LINE WHERE YOU SAY IF YOU'RE SHOWING THAT OUT OF THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN THAT'S WHERE FUTURE BOARDS CAN LOOK AT IT AND SAY YOU CAN POTENTIALLY REDUCE THE TAX RATE BECAUSE IN THE OUT YEARS YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT REVENUES. THE OTHER THING AS APPRAISALS COME IN HIGHER THAN THE 2%.

VERY LIKELY THE TAX RATE WILL GO DOWN BECAUSE YOU WON'T NECESSARILY NEED THOSE REVENUES

THAT WE ARE PROJECTING. >> IS A FIVE AND TENURE MODEL AND IT'S THE WORST CASE SCENARIO. WHEN I TALK TO REALTORS THEY LAUGH AT ME WHEN I SAY YOU ONLY HAVE A 2% REAPPRAISAL. REAL ESTATE IN THE WOODLANDS HAS GONE UP SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER THAN THAT IN THE MOST RECENT YEARS. EVEN THOUGH THE HISTORICAL TRENDS OR NOT THAT HOT FROM 2020 AND 2021 POCKET LISTINGS AND PEOPLE PAYING OVER THIS PRICE IS NORMAL TODAY. AND THERE'S NEVER BEEN IN THE CURRENT ERA.E ARE LIKELY TO HAVE HIGHER APPRAISAL VALUES WHICH IS A GREATER NECESSITY TO LOWER THE TAX RATE.

BY STATE LAW, USES THAT EXAMPLE, IF THEY WERE APPRAISED BY 5% INCREASE BY STATE LAW WOULD BE FORCED TO REDUCE THE TAX RATE. IT'S ABOVE A 3% GAP.

>> I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SAY THIS AND IT'S WORTH REPEATING. NO ACTUAL OPERATING RESERVES, CAPITAL RESERVES ARE BEING USED TO FUND OPERATIONS IN OUR FINANCIAL MODEL FOR

CORPORATION. >> NO SIR NONE. >> ONLY RESERVE FUND BEING TOUCHED WITH INCORPORATION IS THE INCORPORATION RESERVE AND THAT'S FOR A ONE-TIME CAPITAL EXPENDITURE WHICH IS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE INCORPORATION STUDY.

>> IT'S INACCURATE TO SAY WE ARE USING RESERVES TO ARTIFICIALLY LOWER THE TAX

RATES. >> THAT IS CORRECT. AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY IT'S A VIOLATION OF THEIR OWN POLICY AND OF ANY CREDIT AGENCY POLICY.

>> CAN YOU HIGHLIGHT FOR US WHY WE SEE THE BROWN OR THE RUSTY COLORED BROWN BAR GOING DOWN? IT LOOKS I KNOW YOU SHORT IT BEFORE BUT CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT

AGAIN. >> IT DOESN'T LIKE WE ARE UTILIZING RESERVES AND WE ARE

BUT IT'S A PLANNED UTILIZATION OF THE RESERVES.. >> WE HAD A LOT OF MAJOR ASSETS IN TERMS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND PARKS AND RECREATION.WE DEFER CAPITAL PROJECTS TO INTERNAL VIRUS IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE FINANCIALLY SOUND SO WE HAVE SORT OF A BUILDUP OF PROJECTS NOW THAT WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO UTILIZE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. EVERY BIT OF THIS IS A PLANNED UTILIZATION OF THE CAPITAL

RESERVE WASTE ON OUR RESERVE STUDY. >> ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I GET A LOT AND I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE AS WELL, HOW CAN YOU ADD EXPENSES INCREASE PROPERTY

[00:55:09]

TAXES RATE? SHOULD A DIFFERENT SIDE BEFORE BUT I'M IN A SHOW THIS ONE FOCUSING ON PUBLIC SAFETY EXPENSES. IF YOU LOOK OVER AT THAT PERIOD OF TIME WE INCREASE PUBLIC SAFETY WHICH IS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE CONTRACTED LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES BY 18.7 MILLION OR 87.3% AND THE BOARD HAS NEVER INCREASE THE TAX RATE WHILE THOSE INCREASES ARE INCREASING TO ADDRESS PUBLIC SAFETY.

AS A MATTER OF FACT YOU CAN SEE THAT IT STEADILY DECREASED AND WHAT I DIDN'T SHOW HERE AND SHOULD HAVE IS THAT THESE TAX RATE ARE AT OR BELOW THE REVENUE RATE MEANING THERE'S NO PROPERTY TAX REVENUE BEING GENERATED FROM REVALUATION IT'S BEING GENERATED FROM THE

PROPERTIES BEING ADDED TO THE ROLE. >> THAT IS HISTORICALLY HOW THE SPORT HAS ALWAYS OPERATED AND THERE'S NOTHING IN THE TENURE PLAN THAT WE JUST LOOKED AT BASED ON THE SAME ASSUMPTIONS AND BEST PRACTICES THAT WOULD INDICATE ANYTHING DIFFERENT. I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.

HOW CAN EXPENSES INCREASE WITHOUT A CORRESPONDING INCREASE IN THE PROPERTY TAX RATE? IT'S PRIMARILY SHOWING DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT AFFECTS LOW DEBT BURDEN AND THERE'S MANY THINGS BUT PRIMARILY AT SALES TAX REVENUES.

BY STATE LAW IS CAPPED AT 2% FOR LOCAL JURISDICTIONS AND WE ALREADY LOVE YOU 2% SO IT CANNOT GO BEYOND THE AND THIS IS NOT A NEW OR HIGHER TAX. IT'S DUE TO PROJECTED GROWTH IN OUR REGIONAL GENERATION BECAUSE SALES TAX WE DON'T GET IT JUST FROM RESIDENCE WE GET IT FROM ANYBODY WHO HAS A QUALIFYING TRANSACTION WITHIN THE BOUNDARY.

WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU OUR CURRENT MOST RECENT SALES TAX REPORT.

WE ARE 15.2% OR $6 MILLION OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THE PREVIOUS YEAR WAS COVID 19 SO THAT'S A HIGHER NUMBER THAN NORMAL. THE SECOND SET OF NUMBERS FIXED OUR CONSERVATIVE BUDGET ESTIMATES. WE DID BUDGET CONSERVATIVELY AS WE ALWAYS DO BUT WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW IS 2.8 MILLION OR 6.6% OVER BUDGET.

WE ARE ALREADY GOING INTO THE NEXT YEAR AND THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN.

WE'VE ARTIE INCREASED OUR BASE SALES TAX BEYOND OUR CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES.

THAT IS JUST ADDITIONAL MONEY. I'VE SHOWN THIS BEFORE BUT AGAIN BECAUSE SALES TAX IS SO IMPORTANT IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT AN IMPORTANT ROLE THAT PLAYS IN THE FINANCES OF THE TOWNSHIP. ONLY RELY ON PROPERTY TAX REVENUE FOR 36% OF REVENUE SOURCES. THE REST OF IT COMES FROM SALES TAX AND PARKS AND RECREATION FEES AND GRANTS. HERE WE ARE VERY DIVERSIFIED. IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE DON'T RELY AND OBVIOUSLY RETAIL TRADE IS THE LARGEST PIECE BUT IT MAKES UP 50%.

WE SEE GROWTH PATTERNS IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE BUSINESS SECTORS.

>> SPOKE ABOUT SALES TAX MINUTE TRANSACTIONS. THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE SEEN OUR MOST OF THE GROWTH AND WE ARE FORECASTED THIS YEAR TO INCREASE BY 25.1%.

AS WE SEE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ECONOMY AND IS THE SALES TAX RULES HAVE CHANGED FROM THE

CONTROLLER. >> THE NUMBERS MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN NOT BECAUSE $4 MILLION WE WOULDN'T HAVE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATE COMPTROLLER'S REPORT AND YOU LOOK FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS AND A REGION INCLUDING OURS THEY ARE PROJECTING THAT IT'S GOING

TO INCREASE. >> IS A NEW LAW THAT CHANGES IN OCTOBER THAT DEALS WITH MANUFACTURERS SALES TAX COLLECTIONS FROM INTERNET SALES.

[01:00:02]

WHEN DO YOU THINK WE WOULD GET AN IDEA OF THE IMPACT OF THAT TO OUR COMMUNITY ON LOST SALES

TAX OR SCHEMES IN SALES TAX? >> PART OF THE RULE IS IT WAS IMPLEMENTED ON OCTOBER 1 AND ENDED UP DEFERRING A PART OF THE RULE UNTIL NEXT YEAR. WE HAVE TO WAIT ON THE LIMITATION FOR THE REST OF IT BUT CERTAINLY WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR WE WILL SEE THOSE NEW

RUILL GENERATE ADDITIONAL REVENUE. >> WHICH WE DIDN'T PROJECT.

>> WE DIDN'T BECAUSE THERE JUST WASN'T ENOUGH DATA TO MAKE AN ACCURATE PROJECTION.

>> WE DIDN'T WANT TO BUILD THAT INTO A REVENUE PROJECTIONS.

>> THERE'S NOTHING IN OUR MODEL THAT USES REVENUE THAT COULD BE IDENTIFIED?

>> NO SIR. EVEN THOUGH WE WOULD HAVE POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL STATE AND FEDERAL GRANT MONEY COMING IN THAT'S NOT BEING UTILIZED IN THIS FINANCIAL MODEL.

>> NO SIR. >> I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION. I HAVE A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS TO ASK THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT'S IN THAT WE BROUGHT UP SEVERAL YEARS AGO DURING OUR BUDGET MEETING. CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT?

SOME OF THE ATTORNEYS HAVE BEEN ASKED WHY WE DON'T DO THAT. >> I WOULD BE GLAD TO.

WE'VE LOOKED AT THAT SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FIVE OR SIX YEARS AND HAS DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO THAT. THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION JUST EVERYBODY IS AWARE IS A VOLUNTARY. THE ONE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS A VOLUNTARY EXEMPTION THAT CAN BE ENACTED BY A LOCAL GOVERNING UNITS UP TO 20%. IT WILL REDUCE THE VALUE UP TO 20%. WHAT THE TOWNSHIP BOARD AND WE SHOW THIS ANALYSIS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. THE BOARD HAS CONSIDERED LOWERING IT AND THAT'S BETTER FOR TAXPAYERS. IF YOU DO A HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FIRST EVOLVED THE MOST RECENT ESTIMATES ARE 7.1 ADOBE $7.1 MILLION IN LOST REVENUE TO THE TOWNSHIP.

OUR CURRENT FIVE-YEAR PLAN DOES NOT SUPPORT THAT. WE WOULD BE IN THE WHOLE THE OTHER THING ABOUT THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION AS IT S ONLY TO HOME STILL RESIDENTIAL RTIES AND SO IT SHIFTS THE TAX BURDEN IF YOU WILL TO NON-HOMESTEAD PROPERTIES AND PROPERTIES.

WITH THE BOARD DECIDED IN THEIR ANALYSIS IS BY LOWERING THE TAX RATE AND REDUCING THE REVENUE THAT WAY THAT TRINITY TAXPAYERS, RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL AND NON-HOMESTEAD PROPERTIES WILL BENEFIT. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE NOT. ANNUALLY HE COULD SEE REEVALUATED. BUT IN THE PAST FEW ANALYSIS THAT WE GET WE LOWER THE TAX RATE AND IT'S DEEMED MORE EFFECTIVE AND APPROPRIATE THAN THE 20% HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.

>> ON THE TAX RATE WAS $.29 INSTEAD OF DOING THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION PEOPLE WERE PRESENTING TEST AN OPTION. WE LOWER THE TAX RATE WELL BELOW IT SETS THE BAR LOWER THAN THE TRAJECTORY. HAD WE HELD TO THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE POLICY IN THAT CALENDAR YEAR THAN OUR TAX RATES WOULD BE HIGHER THAN THAT.

IT'S GREATER THAN A 20% REDUCTION IN A SINGLE CALENDAR YEAR.

>> AT THE HOUSE AS THE BOARD WENT THROUGH AT THAT TIME. >> MY NOTES IS THAT WE ALSO DISCUSSED AT UNLIKE THE 2015 BUT IN 2017 QUICKLY TO COMING BACK BUT THE REALITY IS IT'S AN

EITHER OR DECISION. >> DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY

[01:05:14]

INCORPORATION RELATED ITEMS? >> I DO HAVE ONE. SEVERAL MEETINGS AGO I BROUGHT UP THE FRANCHISE FEES. WE SAID THAT WE WOULD ADDRESS THIS AND I BELIEVE THAT THE DIRECTOR SAYS MISTER JONES THAT YOU WOULD CONTACT HOWARD HUGHES THE DO WE HAVE AN UPDATE ON

THAT? >> OUR LEGAL COUNSEL IS WORKING ON THAT AS WELL AS SEVERAL OF THE PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST ITEMS QUICK THANK YOU.

DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY INC. ITEMS THEY WANT TO DISCUSS? >> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS TONIGHT ABOUT THAT. NUMBER ONE, I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT REALLY CLEAR WHEN THIS BOARD VOTED TO PLACE INCORPORATION INITIATIVE ON THE ALLOT I FIND THIS INCREDIBLY MISCHARACTERIZED AS THE BOARD CRAMMING INCORPORATION DOWN PEOPLE'S THROATS. WE HAVE AN ELECTION GOING ON. YOU GET TO CHOOSE WHETHER YOU WANT TO CONTINUE AS A TOWNSHIP OR WHETHER YOU WANT TO INCORPORATE AS A CITY.

THAT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE. WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR TAX BILL PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT IN THE WOODLANDS TAX PORTION OF YOUR TAX BILL IS 10% OR LESS OF YOUR TOTAL TAX BILL.

THE RATES ARE NOT ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION. IF YOU ADDRESS THOSE FOR INFLATION HE WOULD SAY THAT WE ARE COLLECTING SIGNIFICANTLY LESS MONEY IN REAL DOLLARS NOW THAN WE WERE 10 YEARS AGO. WITH THE LEGISLATION CAPPING THE ABILITY TO TAKE IT OVER BEYOND 3.5% OF WHERE WE ARE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT YOU CAN MAKE A REASONABLE AND LOGICAL ARGUMENTS THAT OUR TAXES WILL SKYROCKET. IF YOU WANT TO DO IT ON FURTHER GROUNDS YOU DON'T ANOTHER LAYER OF GOVERNMENT WHICH I CAN MAKE AN ARGUMENT THAT WE'RE NOT REALLY ADDING A LAYER GOVERNMENT. WE CONSOLIDATE SERVICES INTO A CURRENT LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT AND WE'RE STILL HERE WHETHER WE INCORPORATE OR NOT.HE TOWNSHIP WILL STILL BE HERE. OR IF YOU HAVE A REASON TO THINK THAT WE ARE BETTER OFF ALLOWING OTHER PEOPLE TO MAKE MAJOR DECISIONS THAT AFFECT THE LIKELIHOOD OF OUR COMMUNITY.

IT'S A BETTER PLACE TO DO THAT AND THAT'S FINE. I SUPPORT YOUR RIGHT TO DO THAT. I AM GETTING A LITTLE UPSET ABOUT HEARING THE COMMENTS EARLIER ABOUT SPENDING $80,000 OF TOWNSHIP MONEY TO PUT OUT FACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR PLANS AND OUR FINANCES. ESSENTIALLY IT HAS BEEN CHALLENGED BY INDEPENDENT REPORTS THAT WE HAVE NOW DEBUNKED THOROUGHLY AND COMPLETELY OVER 40 FROM BOARD MEETINGS AND I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR US TO DO THIS.

IT'S BEEN CONSIDERED TO BE LEGAL EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL THAT WE ARE ABSOLUTELY ENTITLED TO PRODUCE UNDER THE TEXAS LAW. I JUST WANT TO SAY AGAIN THANK YOU TO THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF

[01:11:45]

AND THE WEEK. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND ONCE AGAIN I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT ABSOLUTELY CLEAR THAT ANY CHARGES THAT THE PROFESSIONAL TOWNSHIP HAS BEEN UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE BOARD MEMBERS TO DO ANYTHING THAT THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH.

IT'S SIMPLY NOT TRUE. THANK YOU. >> I'M GOING TO DEFER TO STAFF AND YOU GUYS. WE HAVE ETHICS FAMILIAR ATTORNEY TO REVIEW EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF LITERATURE IN EVERY WORD AND EVERY SCRIPT FOR A VIDEO IS CUT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S FACTUAL. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT DECIDES WITH PROPAGANDA VERSUS EDUCATION ON THEIR TELLING US IT'S EDUCATIONAL AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE CHARGED TO DO.

A GOVERNING BODY CANNOT PUT ON A BALLOT INITIATIVE AND NOT PROVIDE PUBLIC EDUCATION.

THEY USE EVERY MEANS POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY REACH HUNDRED AND 18,000 PEOPLE.

$80,000 MAY BE AN ADEQUATE TO COMMUNICATE TO THIS POPULATION WHEN YOU PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE.

OUR STAFF IS KNOCKING TO DO ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T GET ATTORNEY APPROVAL PRIOR TO BEING DISTRIBUTED. NONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ACCESS TO AN EVER SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES AND I CAN'T POST THERE TO SAY NO. I DON'T GET TO IT.

I APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS. I DID HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION BECAUSE WITH THE NEW 3 AND A HALF% TO BE FAIR TO SAY IF YOU PUT THAT IN FOR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION YOU LOSE THAT IN YOUR REVENUE. YOU DON'T GET A CREDIT AGAINST THE GAP.

YOU IMMEDIATELY HAVE TO HAVE A BALLOT INITIATIVE TO RAISE THE TAX RATE TO COVER THE $7 MILLION GAP. IT'S A CIRCULAR CONVERSATION. IF YOU DON'T HAVE $7 MILLION IN REOCCURRING REVENUE TO COVER 20% HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION THEN YOU ARE LIMITED BY STATE LAW TO 3 AND A HALF% TAX INCREASE. IT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.

>> EITHER HAVE TO CUT SERVICES OR RAISE THE TAX RATE. >> WE HAD ONE YOU THAT THIS WAS POSSIBLE. IT WAS 2015. IT'S A PHYSICAL POSSIBILITY OF

[01:15:02]

DOING ONE OR THE OTHER AND WE DO CHOOSE A LOWER TAX RATE SUBSTANTIALLY BEFORE THE

EFFECTIVE RATE. >> IF I REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION QUICKLY AFTER WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE SAT HERE AND SAID THAT PEOPLE ARE CRITICIZING US FOR THE TAX RATE BEING TOO HIGH THEY GIVE THE 20% HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.

IT WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER OFF WE WOULD HAVE MORE ROOM TO MANEUVER.

IN THE FIVE YEARS HAVE BEEN ON EVERY SINGLE BUDGET WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN AT OR BELOW THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT WHEN YOU SEE THE TAX BASE THAT IS STARTING TO STAGNATE. A PROPERTY TAX BASE IS STARTING TO STAGNATE. I THINK PEOPLE HAVEN'T PAID ATTENTION BUT FOR EXAMPLE THE COUNTY GRANTED A 20% HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION. AFFIRM THE RATE THEY LOWERED THE TAX RATE IS 1/10 OF ONE CENT AND THAT WAS A HUGE HIGHLY TOUTED ACCOMPLISHMENT.

WE HAVE TAKEN A TAX RATE DOWN TENSE AND A MUCH SMALLER SCALE. WE BASICALLY TAKEN 33% OF OUR

TAX RATE OUT. WHO DID A BETTER JOB? >> I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MISS SHARP. FIRST I WANT TO SAY THAT PEOPLE DON'T PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY TRUST THIS ORGANIZATION TO DO SUCH A GOOD JOB SO THEY REALLY DON'T HAVE TO BECAUSE THEY TRUST YOU AND YOU PROVEN YOUR EXCELLENCE OVER THE LAST MANY YEARS.

I THINK THAT'S WHY. THE QUESTION I HAVE IS THE LAST TIME YOU'RE HERE I ASKED YOU WHETHER HOWARD HUGHES HAD ACTUALLY COME TO YOU AT ANY POINT DURING THE TIME WHEN THEY ARE HIRING THESE OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS AND THEY PICK APART THE NOVAK CONSULTING GROUP THAT IS THE CONSULTING GROUP. I BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT NOBODY HAS REACHED OUT TO AT THAT POINT. SINCE THAT TIME IS PAST HAS ANYBODY FROM HOWARD HUGHES EACH REACHED OUT TO YOU TO MAKE ANY CHANGES OR EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARE SO AGGRESSIVE THERE?

>> ONE OF THE CONSULTANTS FROM THE LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE ONE THAT FOCUS ON THE FINANCIAL PEACE DID CALL AND LEAVE ME AND ASKED THAT WE RETURN THE CALL WHICH I DID RETURN ETHIC YOU LEFT IT ON A FRIDAY AND I RETURNED HIS CALL ON A MONDAY OR TUESDAY.

I'VE NOT HEARD BACK. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT. >> I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT PART BECAUSE LITERATURE IS STILL BEING HANDED OUT WITH $27 MILLION AND THAT'S NOT FUND IN OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT. OVER MONTH AGO WE PROVEN THAT IT IS.

IT IS DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO DON'T DO THEIR OWN RESEARCH BELIEVE THAT SOMEHOW WE MISSED FUNDING PUBLIC SAFETY BY THAT LARGE MARGIN AND IN FACT WE HAD MORE FUNDING DONE

[11. Receive, consider and act upon a quarterly update from the Development Standards Committee; ]

WITH THE CONSULTANT RECOMMENDED. >> THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT

AND PROVABLE WITHIN OUR BUDGET DOCUMENTS. >> IF THERE ARE NO MORE INCORPORATION RELATED QUESTIONS WE NEED EMOTION AND A SECOND TO ACCEPT.

>> I WILL MOVE. >> I WILL SECOND THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

>> ANY OPPOSED OR ABSTENTION? >> WE HAVE ITEM 11. RECEIVE, CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE QUARTERLY UPDATEE FROM THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COMMITTEE.

FORMERLY THE MY DIRECTOR. CLICK SEE IF I CAN WORK THE TECHNOLOGY RIGHT.

>> GOOD EVENING MISTER CHAIRMANAND BOARD OF DIRECTORS. BEFORE WE GET STARTED I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE AT DIRECTOR JOHN ANTHONY BROWN SERVES ON THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COMMITTEE. WE APPRECIATE HIS SERVICE AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO RECOGNIZE BRETT STRONG OUR ATTORNEY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COMMITTEES HERE'S TONIGHT.

[01:20:01]

AGAIN WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE AND TO PRESENT THE THIRD QUARTER 2021 UPDATE TO THE BOARD. THE UPDATE IS REALLY REPRESENTING THE HARD WORK THAT TAKES PLACE BY THE TOWNSHIP STAFF. TONIGHT THIS IS WORKS FROM VARIOUS MEMBERS HERE ARE RECOGNIZING THE TOWNSHIP STAFF BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE COVENANT ADMINISTRATION BOTH THE RD RC AND DSC HAS A LOT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO PREPARING THE AGENDAS, THE WORKSHEETS IN ORDER TO HEAR THE APPLICATION AND COME TO A DECISION ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT AND THE COMMUNITY. TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO COVER THE DSC MEMBER DATA. THE MEETING DATA IS TO COVER THE THIRD QUARTER WHICH IS JULY THROUGH SEPTEMBER. WE JUST FINISHED THE TABULATION OF THE THIRD QUARTER.

WE COVER SOME KEY ISSUES. WE ARE ALSO FOLLOWING AN ITEM THAT DOCTOR GIBBS ASKED IN THE SECOND QUARTERLY REPORT CONCERNING CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION.

WE HAVE SOME DATA PREPARED FOR 2019 THROUGH 2021. WE WILL COVER THAT TONIGHT AND APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION FROM OUR LAST PRESENTATION. WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FUTURE ITEMS. FOR THE THIRD QUARTER THE COMMITTEE AND STAFF HANDLED 241 APPLICATIONS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHERE WE STARTED IN QUARTER ONE THROUGH QUARTER THREE WE ARE REALLY AT THE HIGH PART OF THE APPLICATION FOR THE YEAR.

THE THIRD QUARTER ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE THE HIGHEST AMOUNT OF APPLICATION.

WE HUNDRED AND 68 APPLICATIONS AS RESIDENTIAL AND WE HAD 50 APPLICATIONS FOR COMMERCIAL AND WE HAD 15 ADMINISTRATIVE APPLICATIONS DEALING WITH EVERYTHING FROM NEIGHBORHOOD CRITERIA TO ADMINISTERED OF CHANGES TO EITHER PROCEDURES OR MODIFICATIONS OF SOME ROLES.

IF WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE DONE FIRST-QUARTER TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY WE HAVE 619 APPLICATIONS THROUGH THE THREE CATEGORIES. THERE'S LESS PROJECTS AS CONVERSE CONTINUES TO WIND DOWN. AS PEOPLE GET BACK TO WORK AND THEY HAVE LESS TIME ON PROJECTS FROM THE PROJECTS THAT WE HANDLE IN 2020 ARE FINISHED AND THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THEM TO UNDERTAKE NEW PROJECTS. AN UPDATE ON OUR JOINT MEETING WITH THE RESIDENTIAL DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE. THE LAST MEETING WAS HELD WITH THAT TEAM ON 29 SEPTEMBER. THE STAFF REALLY APPRECIATES THOSE MEETINGS AND IT'S A GOOD EXCHANGE OF LEARNING BEST PRACTICES, GETTING SOME IDEA FOR THE RESIDENTIAL STANDARDS NEED TO BE REVISED. WE ARE GATHERING INFORMATION ON THAT WITH SPECIAL MEETINGS TO REVIEW RESIDENTIAL STANDARDS FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER AND BY DECEMBER IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL WE SHOULD VOTE ON MAKING SOME MODIFICATIONS TO RESIDENTIAL STANDARDS.

>> THINGS I DID, AND THE JOINT MEETING THAT ARE STARTING TO REALLY HAD OUR COMMUNITY IS AN ITEM CALLED PERMANENT SEASONAL LIGHTING. THERE COMPANIES OUT HERE SELLING PERMANENT SEASONAL LIGHTING NOT ONLY FOR THE TRADITIONAL HOLIDAY SEASON BUT THEY ARE USED AT OTHER HOLIDAYS LIKE FOURTH OF JULY, HOLLOWING AND WE'RE TAKING A REALLY CLOSE LOOK AT THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DEVELOP A STANDARD AND RIGHT NOW THEY COME UP ON VARIANCE REQUESTS WITH A NUMBER OF APPLICATION. WHEN I SAY NUMBER WE PROBABLY HAVE THREE OR FOUR APPLICATIONS COME FORWARD. IT'S QUITE EXPENSIVE TO PUT THESE CHANNEL WRITINGS AND THE SOFFIT WITH RECESSED LIGHTING SO IT'S NOT AN INEXPENSIVE UNDERTAKING OF PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO SEE THIS ON A NATIONAL STAGE AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. PEOPLE WANT TO SAY THAT THIS IS THE LATEST AND GREATEST CAN I

[01:25:01]

BRING IT TO OUR COMMUNITY. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS ONE OF THE STANDARD CHANGES SO WE CAN GET SOME STRUCTURE AROUND IT. WE ARE LOOKING AT HORIZONTAL BOARD FENCING. MOST OF IT DONE ON A VARIANCE IT DOESN'T REALLY GET APPROVED BECAUSE IT'S NOT A GOOD DESIGN ARE REALLY DOESN'T FIT INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD CRITERIA.

HE HAD TO TAKE A LOOK AT THESE THINGS. IF WE DON'T LOOK AT THEM AND WE DON'T SEE YOU CAN FIT INTO THE STANDARD THAT PEOPLE WANT TO SAY WHAT I CAN THINK A DO IT ON MY OWN AND THAT'S A DIFFERENT SUBJECT OF HOW YOU CORRECT THAT ACTION.

WHEN YOU BRING UP ABOUT THE POOL BARRIER THAT COME UP IN DISCUSSION OF THE RD RC MEETINGS. HOW DO WE HANDLE THAT TO REALLY MAKE THAT FENCE PREVENTABLE AND TO MAKE IT FIT IN THE POOL BARRIER WORLD. IT'S JUST TO REPLACE THE FUNDS.

DOESN'T TYPE THINGS ARE LOOKING AT. >> THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

IT'S VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE A GOOD STAFF THAT CAN HELP US BUT THE RESEARCH AND THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS FORWARD. THEY BROUGHT THAT UP AND IT'S NOT FAIR STREET SO WE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND SHOULD BE DONE. TO CREATE A DIFFERENT STANDARD THAT'S NOT A THOROUGH HISTORY AND HOW DO WE GO THROUGH THAT? THE DRIVEWAY WITH HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE TRADITIONALLY HISTORICALLY THEY WERE 16 FEET AND WE'VE ADJUSTED THE DRIVEWAYS BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF CAR GARAGES. ONCE YOU ADJUST THAT SOMEONE WANTS TO TAKE IT BEYOND IT'S REALLY A POINT THAT WERE TRYING TO KEEP A VERY STABLE.

HOMES. WHAT'S IT LOOK LIKE? >> IN 2019 IT'S OUR BASE YEAR.

THAT'S THE YEAR WE MADE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO THE STANDARDS AND THAT'S WHEN SHORT-TERM RENTALS CAME IN. WE ALSO HAD THINGS ABOUT DEMOLITION WHERE WE WERE LOOKING FOR CERTAIN ITEMS OR SOMEONE PRESENTS A CONCEPT. ARE THEY BRINGING YOU LANDSCAPE PLANS FORWARD? IF YOU TAKE OUT 10 TREES WHAT IS THE REPLACEMENT AND WHERE IS THE HOUSE GOING TO SIT? WHAT YOU NEED TO TAKE OUT TREATMENT TWO AND THREE.

THE CHALLENGE IN GROUP AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THIS BIGGER LOTS AND THEIR HEAVILY WOODED AND THEY ARE REALLY GREAT BOX. WE WANT TO MAKE THAT BALANCE AND WE WANT TO STAY WITHIN THE STANDARDS BOTH THE IOU DNA AND THINGS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THOSE HOMES ARE SMALLER HOMES WE GOT STARTED TO SOMEONE THAT BUYS THAT FOR REDEVELOPMENT WANTS TO COME DOWN AND TAKE DOWN A SMALLER HOME WE HAVE TO BE CONCERNED WHAT SIZE HOME WOULD

BE APPROVED. >> I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT AND OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT TELLING YOU THIS YOU PROBABLY KNOW THIS ALREADY BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE DOWN SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF MATURE TREES EVERY ONE OF THOSE TREES SOAKS UP 40 GALLONS OF WATER EVERY SINGLE YEAR. WHEN IT COMES TO DRAINAGE SO IF YOU WANT TO TAKE TREE SAP@ YOU HAVE TO IMPROVE THE DRAINAGE IN THAT LOT SOMEHOW TO COMPENSATE FOR THAT.

THAT'S A MAJOR ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT UP. NHS HAVE MADE GREAT STRIDES IN

[01:30:04]

TOUGHING THE STANDARDS FOR PUTTING DOWN IMPERMEABLE SURFACES AND BACKYARDS AND THE ANSWER KITCHENS AND POOLS AND SO ON. I THINK TREES TAKEN ON TO BE

FACTORED IN TO THE ENTIRE RANGE EQUATION AS WELL. >> WE APPRECIATE THOSE OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS. WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE. WE WILL ASK THE HOMEOWNER TO COME BACK WITH THE VALUE TRYING TO DRIVE AT IT BECAUSE THERE'S MORE VALUE TO KEEP THE TREE ON THE PROPERTY THAT TAKE THE TREE OUT QUICK SOMEONE SAYS WE'RE GOING TO REPLANT.

IT'S NICE THAT YOU REPLANT INTO IT ANYWAY BECAUSE WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT OF THE TREE THAT'S 15 FEET DIAMETER THERE'S REALLY NO REPLACEMENT FOR THAT TREE. IT'S LONG-TERM.

>> AS LONG AS YOU CONSIDER IMMEDIATE 20 YEARS. >> IS A LONGTIME.

>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESIDENTIAL LOT. >> THEY COME IN AND PRESENT A CONCEPT FOR TAKING OUT THE EXISTING HOMES AND WANTING TO SAY THIS IS THE HOME I WANT TO PUT IN BUT I'D LIKE TO TAKE THESE TREES OUT. BUT THE NONSTARTER.

AND THEN WE SAY OKAY WE'RE GOING TO DENY THE CONCEPT AND GO BACK AND RESUBMIT TO BRING FORWARD A PLAN THAT MAKES SENSE AND RESPECT THE TREES AND THE LOTS.

WHEN YOU GO THROUGH REDEVELOPMENT FROM DEMOLITION THERE'S MANY MEETINGS THAT TAKES PLACE AND THERE'S A LOT OF STAFF TIME THAT IS INVOLVED BETWEEN WHOEVER'S TRYING TO DO IT WHETHER IT'S A SINGLE HOMEOWNER THAT WANT TO TAKE THEIR EXISTING HOME DOWN AND REDEVELOP IT OR IT'S A SMALL GROUP OF DEVELOPERS THAT COME IN AND BUY ONE OR TWO OLDER HOMES I WANT TO PRESENT A PLAN. IT'S NOT IMMEDIATE AND IT IS SIMPLY TAKE PLACE BUT THERE'S A

LOT OF WORK THAT GOES THROUGH THIS. >> YOU MENTIONED THE IOU D'S THAT ARE ON THE PROPERTIES HERE IN THE WOODLANDS. THE DSC, YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE

AUTHORITY TO CHANGE THAT TO YOU? >> THEY HAVE TO BE BROUGHT FORWARD TO US. YOU HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND PULL YOUR NEIGHBORS.

>> JUST TO CLARIFY WE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS IN LAST COUPLE F DAYS.

THE IOU D'S ON THE SIZE OF HOME IN YOUR PARTICULAR AREA, YOU CAN PETITION YOUR SUBDIVISION

WITH THE NUMBER? >> 80% OF THE RESIDENTS. >> SIGN A PETITION TO ALLOW YOU TO DO THIS IN THE DSC. IF THE CHANGE OR WAIVER FOR WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING ON DOING.

IF THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND IOU D HAS TO BE BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE DEVELOPER. IT HAS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE DEVELOPER.

>> WHEN IT'S COMMERCIAL PROPERTY GOES TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE'S AND THEY BRING

IT FORWARD TO US. >> IS LOT OF QUESTIONS WHEN SOMEONE WANTS TO COME IN AND CHANGE THE IOU DATE. WE ARE NOT THAT OPEN TO THAT ON A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.

AS BRUCE INDICATED HE HAD A GARDEN GET 80 TO 85% OF YOUR NEIGHBORS TO REALLY AGREE.

WE NOTARIZE THE SIGNATURES OF EVERYBODY THAT YOU TALK TO. IT IS A VERY TORTUROUS PROCESS.

>> IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY IN THE VILLAGE AND PANTHER CREEK.

>> WE HAVE THREE VILLAGES. THE MAJORITY WOULD BE GROGAN'S AND WE HAVE A FEW IN STATISTICS HERE. WE HAVE A FEW AND PANTHER CREEK.

AS YOU CAN SEE 2019 WE HAD APPLICATIONS PRESENTED FOR FIVE DEMOS.

WE HAD SEVEN CONCEPTS PRESENTED ON HOMES TO GO WITH DIFFERENT LOTS.

WE HAD SEVEN REMODELS THAT WOULD COULD HAVE FOR MODELING YOUR GARAGE.

WE WANT TO ADD TO THE SECOND FLOOR BUT YOU'VE COME FORWARD AND SAID YOU WANT TO MAKE SOME CHANGES ON THE EXTERIOR. IT'S THINGS LIKE THAT. WHEN YOU MOVE FROM 2019 WHICH

[01:35:05]

IS A NON- CORONAVIRUS YEAR WE GET INTO 2020 AND AS WE KNOW IN MARCH WE HAD SEVEN DEMOS SIX CONCEPTS OF HOMES PRESENTS TO THE COMMUNITY. WE HAD 11 MAJOR REMODELS.

AS WE COME TO 2021 THIS IS NINE MONTHS WORTH OF DATA. SO FAR WE'VE HAD 10 DEMOS YEAR-TO-DATE AND LEAVE AT HIGH FIVE CONCEPTS PRESENTED TO US. WE'VE HAD SIX FINALS ONLY AND

WE'VE HAD 17 REMODELS. >> QUESTION RIGHT HERE. WHAT IS YOUR ESTIMATE ON THE CHANGE IN THE VALUE OF THE HOME THAT YOU ARE SEEING? NOT JUST THE SQUARE FOOTAGE.

I KNOW THAT'S JUMPING UP BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH. WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF

THE HOME GOING FROM AND THOUGH 17 MAJOR REMODELS? >> I WANT TO SPECULATE.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD QUESTION I LIKE TO TAKE THAT BACK. I THINK THOSE ARE GOOD QUESTIONS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TAKES PLACE WHEN SOMEONE COMES IN AND WANT TO TAKE AN EXISTING STRUCTURE, BUT THE PLAN TOGETHER TO GET APPROVAL AND MAKE SOME MAJOR REINVESTMENT IN THAT ASSET. WHAT IS IT DUE TO HER COMMUNITY?

>> A QUESTION ALSO. ON A MAJOR REMODELS. OUR MOST OF THOSE PROFESSIONAL HOMEBUILDERS AND REMODEL THOSE WHO ARE COMING TO YOU WITH THIS AND THEY ARE NOT LIVING IN THE

THE HOME? WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE THERE? >> I THINK YOU HAVE A COMBINATION OF BOTH. YOU GOT IN HIGHER GOOD SOLID CONTRACTOR AND TOGETHER YOU PUT

TOGETHER A PLAN AND YOU COME TO THE DSC. >> WHAT ESTIMATE WOULD YOU SAY? 50 OR 50? THINK ABOUT 60 OR 40.

60% HOMEOWNERS 40% OUTSIDE. >> THAT'S GOOD THANK YOU. >> IF YOU DON'T MIND WILL TAKE THE QUESTION BACK AS A FOLLOW-UP. I THINK IT'S A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION AND SEE WHAT KIND OF DATA WE COME UP WITH. JUST THAT THE QUESTION YOU

BROUGHT FORWARD IN THE SECOND QUARTER FOR THIS DATA. >> ARE THERE MAYBE WOULD BE VALUABLE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER A MAJOR REMODEL. WHAT IS THE THRESHOLD FOR THAT?

>> WHAT PEOPLE SAY MAJOR REMODELS WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? MORE THAN 50% OF THE APPRAISED VALUE OF THE HOME ARE 20%? WHAT CONSTITUTES A MAJOR REMODEL?

>> IF INCORPORATION DOES PASS AND THE SENIORS GET A TAX FREEZE WHAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED IS THAT THEY PAY AND IT WOULD NOT CHANGE UNLESS THEY'VE HAD MISTER JONES SAID FROM TIME TO TIME AND ADDITION LIKE A MAJOR REMODEL OR IN ADDITION TO THEIR HOME AND CHANGING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE. THAT SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS RELEVANT.

>> WERE NOT LOOKING AT A LOT OF THE INTERIOR AND SOME OF THESE REMODELS.

FUTURE ITEMS ARE THE NEXT RIGHT MEETING SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY. WE'RE WORKING ON THE MUTUALLY AGREEABLE DATE IN JANUARY FOR BOTH ERD RC AND THE DSC TO MEET.

WE TALK ABOUT THE ONGOING STANDARD REVISIONS WITH MEANINGS.

IS FOR NOVEMBER TO WORK ON THAT. OUR PLAN IS TO BE COMPLETE AND BY OUR LAST MEETING BY 2021 WHICH IS DECEMBER 15 TO BRING THOSE FORWARD AND HAVE THEM VOTED ON BY THE COMMITTEE. AT THAT THIS TIME THAT WOULD CONCLUDE THE REPORT.

MAYBE DIRECTOR BROWN IS A MEMBER OF THE DSC WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS OR

OBSERVATIONS. >> JUST TWO QUICK COMMENTS. WE TALK ABOUT FOR DOCTOR SHELLEY REEVALUATION. THERE'S TWO ASPECTS. WE HAVE THE BASIC SQUARE FOOTAGE WHICH IS HOW WE FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH THE VALUE OF THE HOME IS THAT THEY ARE ALSO INTERIOR REMODELING. OPPOSITE THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME COULD GO UP JUST FOR REMODELING YOUR KITCHEN. MOST OF WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING OUR ADDITIONS.

PEOPLE ARE PUTTING IN MY SUITE AND SOME ARE EXPANDING PATIOS AND ADDING POOL STRUCTURES AND

[01:40:02]

STUFF LIKE THAT. THOSE ARE REALLY MAJOR VALUE ADD.

PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT WE TALK ABOUT THE REMODELING IT'S THE GROWTH OF GROVE AND MILLS IN SMALLER LOTS. IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO GO FROM A 2500 FT.B2 HOME TO A 5000 FT.B2 HOME. THAT IN ITSELF ADDS THE PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT ASTRONOMICALLY.

JUST BY DOING THAT ALONE THE VALUE WILL GO UP. >> TO DIRECTOR BROWN'S, WE ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT IMPACT. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GO TO 5000 FT.B2 BUT WHAT'S THE IMPACT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD? WE ARE NOT OUT HERE TO TRY TO SEEK CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TAKEN AWAY, DESTROYED AND OVER DOMINATED BY EXCESSIVE LARGE HOMES. THAT GOES INTO THE CRITERIA AND BALANCE.

IT STILL IS A HOMETOWN. WE HAVE TO RESPECT THAT AND SEE WHAT THE IMPACT IS TO THE

NEIGHBORHOOD. >> I THINK SOME OF THE MORE SENIOR MATURE HOMEOWNERS THAT ARE LOOKING TO TEAR DOWN AND REBUILD SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT ARE HEARD FROM THEM IS EVEN IF THEY COME IN AND DO IT TASTEFULLY AND IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY CHANGE THE AESTHETICS OF THE COMMUNITY IF THAT PARTICULAR HOME THEN IS WORTH $200,000 MORE THAN THE HOUSE THAT THEY ARE IN OVERTIME. THE APPRAISAL PODS ESTIMATE THAT THEY USE HERE FOR THE APPRAISAL IS FOR THE PROPERTY. I'VE HAD HEARD THE CONCERN FROM THOSE THAT ARE MORE FIXED ON INCOME ORIENTED. I LOVE THAT THEIR HOUSE IS MORE VALUABLE BUT THEY PLAN ON LIVING IN IT AND THEY DON'T WANT TO BECOME APPRAISED SUPERHIGH JUST BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE CHOOSE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

>> OF THAT'S OBVIOUSLY WHERE THE TAX FREEZE WOULD BE VERY VALUABLE TO THOSE FOLKS BECAUSE THEIR RESPECTIVE OF WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND THEM. IF THEY'RE NOT CHANGING THEIR OWN PLACE THEY ARE STILL NOT GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY THE APPRAISAL AND REDEVELOPMENT OF

THE AREA. >> THEY WANT TO HAVE A MORE MODERN HOMES OF THE BALANCES HOW DO YOU DO THAT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS T-SHAPED ROOTS NOT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE YES THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS OUTDATED AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT BALANCE WHERE THEY ARE THERE. . OUR TOWN BASICALLY WENT THROUGH MAJOR RENOVATION AND THE CUTE LITTLE HOUSES WERE TORN DOWN AND MITTENS WERE BUILT EVERYWHERE. REALLY IT TOTALLY CHANGED THE CHARACTER OF THE COMMUNITY AND SO I GIVE YOU GUYS THIS. THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE THAT.F YOU CAN IMAGINE TAKING A NEEDLE AND THREAD THAT'S THE LINE YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

[12. Receive, consider and act upon a quarterly update from the One Water Task Force; ]

AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT RYING TO PULL THROUGH THE ISLE. >> DO WE HAVE A MOTION IN A

SECOND TO REPORT APPROVE MOVE. >> A SECOND. >> THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

>> AYE. >> ANY OPPOSED OR ABSTENTION? >> THE MOTION PASSES.

>> WE HAVE THE NEXT ITEM 12 IS TO RECEIVE, CONSIDER AND ACT UPON

FORCE. >> THEY NEED ABOUT $100 MILLION OF INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE WETLANDS DIVISION. THEY WILL BE COMING TO THE

[01:45:04]

COMMUNITY LOOKING FOR A PROPOSAL WITH THE WATER TRUSTEES ON THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE. MORE IMPORTANTLY THERE IS AN EVEN BIGGER PROJECT ON THE BOARD RIGHT NOW THAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH WITH THE INITIAL STUDY AND MODELING FOR WHICH IS THE RATIONALIZATION OF THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS WITH THE MONTGOMERY SIDE OF THE WETLANDS. PLANT ONE DONE IN THE GROGAN STYLE WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY DISCUSSED AT LENGTH AND SEVERAL BOARD MEETINGS WITH ISSUES THAT THAT AGING FACILITY IS STRUGGLING WITH. THEY REALLY NEED TO BE RETIRED.

THEY ARE NOW STUDYING THE FEASIBILITY OF COMING UP WITH A WAY TO RATIONALIZE THE SYSTEM AND ADD A NEW FACILITY TO BRING US BACK TO THREE ON THE MONTGOMERY SIDE.

THE PRICE TAG FOR THAT STARTS BETWEEN 300 MILLION AND $400 MILLION AND COULD GO HIGHER THAN THAT DEPENDING ON WHEN IT'S DONE AND WHERE IT SITUATED.

I THINK THAT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE WIDTH OF THE PAID OFF THEIR DEBT. THEREFORE THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SITUATION WHERE IF INCORPORATION WERE TO HAPPEN IN THE TOWNSHIP OR CITY WERE TO TAKE OVER THE MONTHS THAT IT WOULD BE SHOULDERING THE BURDEN FOR OTHER AREAS. EVERYBODY SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S COMING AND IT'S FOR 10 YEARS AND IT'S GOING TO IN FACT THE WATER SYSTEMS WITHIN THE WETLANDS WHETHER IT STILL HERE OR IT'S A MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM.

I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE ACTIVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW. YOU NEED TO GET INVOLVED IN PLUGGED IN.

AS TO WHAT'S GOING ON. NEED TO BE TALKING TO YOUR MOTHER NEED TO BE TALKING TO THE WOODLANDS WATERPARK TRUSTEES ABOUT THE PLANS THAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON.

>> THAT BASICALLY CONCLUDES THE REPORT. >> JUST TO REITERATE THE

[13. Receive, consider and act upon a review of tennis and pickleball court access (as requested by Director John Anthony Brown);]

MOTHER NOT BEING REALLOCATED AND ABSORBED. THERE'S A PROPOSAL TO DO THAT DESPITE WHAT MIGHT BE IN YOUR MAILBOX. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO CLARIFY.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO ACCEPT THE UPDATE. >> MOVED TO ACCEPT.

>> I SECOND. >> THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> ANY OPPOSED OR ABSTENTION?

YET CARRIES. >> ITEM 13. RECEIVE, CONSIDER AND ACT UPON A REVIEW OF THE TENNIS AND PICKLE BALL COURT ACCESS. THIS IS WHAT I CAME HERE TONIGHT. MY GOD LET'S HAVE A POSITIVE REPORT.

>> I WILL DO MY BEST WE'RE LOOKING AT THE BUDGET AND THE IMPACT REVENUE FROM THIS PROGRAM. IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE BIGGER KEY POINTS WHICH IS HOW COMMUNITY MEMBERS GET ACCESS TO THE COURTS AS WE DEVELOP OPTIONS FOR THAT AS WELL.

THE COMMUNITY IS BLESSED TO HAVE 80 TENNIS COURTS. THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE LOCATED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND AREA PARKS. THERE ARE A NUMBER IN THE VILLAGE PARKS AS WELL. PICKLE BALL IS GROWING IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH 39 OVERLAYS AND WE USE THAT AS A METHOD TO REALLY MANAGE COST AND OVERLAY WHICH IS FOR THE CABAL COURTS.

THE COST THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN MANAGE THE COST.

THE BOARD DID APPROVE IN THE BUDGET FOR 2022 A COMPLEX AT THE PARK.

WE ARE ACTUALLY WORKING ON THE DESIGN TO HAVE A MEETING ON THAT YESTERDAY.

THE BOARD HAS PUT MORE MONEY INTO TENNIS OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 10 YEARS.

VILLAGE PARK RENOVATION SEEMS TO HAVE SOME FACILITIES OVER AND OVER.

SOME OUT ADDED ONE AND OF COURSE A COUPLE YEARS AGO WE HAD TWO MORE AS PART OF THIS.

[01:50:12]

THE SUPERINTENDENT IS IN THE BACK AND SHE LEADS THE TEAM THAT DOES A LOT OF TENNIS AND YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF REGISTRATION BETWEEN SIX AND 7000 PER YEAR.

THOSE ARE WITH JACKRABBIT, USTA AND NORTH COUNTRY AS WELL AS AROUND TENNIS WEEKS.

YOU WILL SEE SOME OF THAT WITH THOSE FOLKS. IT'S AN EXTENSIVE PROGRAMMING WITH INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. THESE FOLKS ARE OUT THERE TEACHING THE KIDS.

AGAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ON PICKLE BALL. THE 34 OVERLAYS ARE JUST WATCHING FIVE MORE OF THE PARK. THAT WAS THE PROJECT THIS YEAR THAT WE BASICALLY RENOVATED ANOTHER FACILITY HAS ALLIANCE FOR LACROSSE AND PICKLE BALLS AND THE MULTIPURPOSE OF FACTS.

DECISIONS ARE JUMPING AS WELL FROM 286 TO 600. I KNOW WHEN WE GET A DEDICATED

COURT WILL BLOSSOM AGAIN. >> DO WE KNOW HOW MANY COURTS IS GOING TO BE AT THE FALCON?

>> WE ARE IN THE 8 TO 10 AND WE'RE PUSHING THAT AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO GET THE 12 BUT AGAIN

IT'S MONEY ISSUES THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH. >> A VERY LARGE BUDGET IMPACT FOR THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT. THE DIVISION AIMS TO BECOME UNDER PERCENT AND THIS DOES GAME THE SYSTEM ON THESE PROGRAMS. YOU'LL SEE IN 2021 RIGHT NOW WE ARE AT YOUR DATE ABOUT $257,000 NET. 2019 WITH DIFFERENT HUNDRED AND $85,000 NET AND SO THIS REALLY COUNSELORS OUT 16 TO 20% OF THE REVENUE WITH THE RECREATION DIVISION BRINGING IN. THERE ARE EXPENSES WITH THAT AS WELL.

COURT ALLOCATION. THE LARGE FUNNEL. THIS HAD SIMILAR CONCERNS LIKE FIELDS. THERE'S A LOT OF DEMAND AT PEAK TIME.

WE HAVE A GOAL OF NO MORE THAN 50% OF THE COURTS CAN BE USED IN PROGRAMS, RESERVATIONS AND SO ON. THE GOOD NEWS IS WE ARE NOT HITTING THAT NUMBER.

WE ARE AROUND 18% BUT THAT IS 80 QUARTS TIME 16 HOURS PER DAY TIME 365.

WE KNOW THAT THAT THE PEAK ISSUE AND THE BOARD APPROVED A NON-PEAK PRICING PROGRAM IN MARCH. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DATA TO SAVE THAT'S WORKING ARE NOT WHAT THE PRICES ARE REALLY PUSHING PEOPLE INTO NONPEAK TIME.

LATER THIS YEAR WILL HAVE A FULL YEAR OF DATA. THE BIGGEST QUESTION DURING CONOVER'S WAS I CAN'T FIND A COURT. IT WILL TAKE YOU FROM THE COURT SEARCH INSTEAD OF DRIVING AROUND FOR WHATEVER COURT AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE LOCKS ARE.

YOU DON'T KNOW SOMEONE FEEDING YOU TO THE COURT FOR THAT DAY FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC'S

DROP-IN TYPE OF PLAY. >> IF YOU GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE ONE BEFORE THAT AND 18% OF TOTAL COURT USE THE 2% OF THE DAYS THAT'S ACTUALLY BOOKED TIME. THEY COULD BE UTILIZED A LOT MORE THAN THE.

THAT'S THE TIME TO ACTUALLY BE BOOKED. >> THAT IS ON OUR BOOKS.

THAT IS NOT A TICK MARK. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN PLAYING NOW BECAUSE OF CORONAVIRUS AND I'M NOT GOING THROUGH PANEL AND HER TEAM TO RESERVE IT. I'M JUST TAKING MY CHANCES.

>> WE JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT. PEOPLE MIGHT LOOK AT THAT AND

SAY WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? >> AND SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE IF WE GO BACK TO THE ONLINE VIEWING IS YOU CAN ACTUALLY RESERVE THE COURT THAT DAY. WE ARE ONLY STARTING OFF KIND

[01:55:10]

OF IN THE BETA PROGRAM WHERE YOU CAN RESERVE IT THAT DAY BECAUSE IF IT RAINS THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT THEY TEAM HAVE TO DO TO RE-SHIFT THOSE LESSONS AND THE PRIVATE TENNIS LEAKS AND SOCIALS AND MIXERS AND SO WE EXPANDED TO THREE DAYS AND SO ON AS WE GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PROGRAM. AT THIS .70 QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TENNIS PROGRAM OR PICK A BALL.

>> A MEETING LAST MONTH WE TALKED ABOUT THE Q OR C CODE AND ACCESSIBILITY.

DOES THAT CODE TAKE THEM TO THAT PAGE WHICH A SAW? >> WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT

SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES. >> WE HAVEN'T ADDRESSED THOSE YET.

IT'S LAUNCHING FOR NOVEMBER 1. WE'VE BEEN WORKING A LOT OF NEW BUGS LIKE THE OTHER PROGRAMS AND WE HAVE THE GOAL FOR NOVEMBER. WE START TO SEE THE SIDELINES UP WITH THE QR CODES AND THAT GETS THEM TO THIS PORTALS AND THEY CAN SEE WHAT IS OPEN AND

WHAT IS NOT. >> AT SOME POINT AND MIGHT EVEN BE INTERESTING IF YOU HAD

[14. Receive, consider and act upon an Amended and Restated Donation Agreement with The Woodlands Art Council for the Art Bench Project (C-2014-4940A5);]

TO SCAN THE QR CODES IN ORDER TO USE THE COURT SO THAT YOU GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF

THE TOTAL UTILIZATION. >> WE TALKED ABOUT THAT EXTENSIVELY.

AS WELL AS A CHECK-IN AND CHECKOUT TYPE OF THING. WE WANTED TO GO WITH THIS NUMBE ESPECIALLY WITH PICKLE BALL WHO SEE THAT AS THEIR FAVORITE NEW SPORT.

THEY SAY HOW GRATEFUL THEY ARE THAT THE TOWNSHIP HAS BEEN DISSIPATING AND GROWING THAT

PROGRAM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> ALREADY TO HAVING OTHER

QUESTIONS OR DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT? >> I MAKE A MOTION.

>> I SECOND. >> THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> ANY OPPOSER

[15. Receive, consider and act upon cul-de-sac island landscape maintenance services;]

[02:00:17]

HAVE AN ATTACHMENT IN YOUR DOCUMENTS TO SHOW YOU THIS. 1700 IS ENOUGH CUL-DE-SACS THAT HAVE VARIOUS MEANS LEVELS. THEIR DIFFERENT MAINTENANCE LEVELS OF SERVICE.

WE DID A COUPLE MODELS ON THE DIFFERENT TRUCKS AND TRAILERS. IT $7000 AND WE SEE A 10 YEAR NET SAVINGS IT GIVES US MORE EQUIPMENT AND STAFF MEMBERS TO HANDLE EMERGENCIES.

WE LOOK AT THE POSITIONS THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS AND RAMP UP IN DECEMBER AND MARCH WITH HIRING AND THEN WE GO LIVE IN MARCH WITH A LARGE PROGRAM AND A SMALL PROGRAM WILL COMMENCE IN APRIL. IT'S A FORMIDABLE POSITION AND IT BRINGS THE PATHWAY THROUGH

AS WELL AS THE CUL-DE-SAC CREW UNDER ONE FORM. >> WE HAVE A MOTION IN A

SECOND. >> SOMEONE ASK A QUESTION IF YOU DON'T MIND.

>> NUMBER ONE. I'M ON BOARD WITH THIS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN ENHANCEMENT OF A SMALL CUL-DE-SAC MAINTENANCE AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR.

MAYBE MOVING UP TO FOUR TIMES A YEAR. IT SEEMS PRETTY AMAZING TO ME.

I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE YOU AND I THINK THAT'S AN AREA THAT RESIDENTS HAVE EXPRESSED A LOT OF FRUSTRATION ABOUT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I'M WILLING TO SPEND A LITTLE

MORE MONEY ON THAT. >> IT AND I CAN THAT AND WE HAD QUITE A FEW CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IT. I THINK THE ORIGINAL INTENT WAS THAT RESIDENTS IN THE AREA ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP TAKE CARE OF THOSE CUL-DE-SACS. I THINK AS POPULAR AS THIS IS IN ANY RESIDENTS THEY REALIZE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MOWING OF THESE AREAS.

QUITE HONESTLY IT'S ONCE A YEAR. IF WE CUT THEM EVERY MONTH

ACROSS ANOTHER 1.7 IS THAT WHAT IT WAS MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR? >> AND ON THE GREEN GET THAT

YET. >> I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT WHAT THE RAMIFICATIONS WOULD

BE. >> ACTUALLY WON AND CUT ON ONE TIME.

>> SO HAVE I. >> I'M FULLY WILLING TO SUPPORT THIS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK WITH THE ALTERNATE PROPOSAL WHAT THE COST WOULD BE TO GO TO TWICE A YEAR ON THE

SMALL CUL-DE-SACS. >> RA KAREN? DO I HAVE TO READ THE ENTIRE

MOTION? >> ANY EMOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE A BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR THE MAINTENANCE. IT RECLASSIFIES THE CURRENT PART-TIME PART-TIME CUL-DE-SAC POSITION AND ALLOCATE THE PURCHASES.
