[10. Receive, consider and act upon proposed revisions to the 2026 Recreation Facility Operating Hours and Fees and scheduling a public hearing in connection therewith;]

CERTAINLY NOT EXPECTED TO BE HERE TO GIVE THE REPORT TONIGHT.

SO WE WILL GO AHEAD TO THE NEXT ITEM. WHICH IS RECEIVE, CONSIDER, AND ACT UPON PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THE 2026 RECREATION FACILITY OPERATING HOURS AND FEES AND SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND WE WILL HAVE OUR DIRECTOR OF

PARKS AND RECREATION. >> GOOD EVENING, LIKE YOU SAID, MY ANNUAL VISIT TO SEEK APPROVAL FOR THE 2026 OPERATING SCHEDULE FOR THE RECREATION CENTERS. THAT ALSO INCLUDES TREE VENTURES AND THE BOATHOUSES. REALLY, FROM WHAT YOU CAN SEE HERE, IS REALLY NO CHANGES, WHERE, SORRY, OUR COST RECOVERY IS 100%, IN 2024, WE WERE AT 104%, AND WE'RE TRACKING THIS YEAR TO BE 100% AGAIN AS USUAL. WITH THAT, SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE RECOMMENDED CHANGES, CERTAIN DAYS OF THE WEEK FOR CERTAIN HOLIDAYS ARE CHANGED, KEEPING THE SCHEDULE THE SAME, WHERE THE ICE-SKATING RINK IS, WITH THE WOODS PAVILION, THE FEE OF $5000 A DAY FOR RENTAL OF THAT FACILITY. IF THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I'D

BE HAPPY TO ANSWER. >> QUESTIONS, ANYONE? IF NOT, I CALL FOR A MOTION AND SECOND TO APPROVE THE 2026 RECREATION FACILITY OPERATING HOURS AS PROVIDED, AND SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING TO ADOPT AN AMENDMENT TO TOWNSHIP ORDER 020-09 ADOPTING PARK USER FEES FOR THE USE OF PARK RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE AREAS OF THE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP.

[11. Receive, consider and act upon a report related to the Township's water conservation education program;]

CONSIDER, AND ACT UPON REPORT RELATED TO THE TOWNSHIP'S WATER CONSERVATION EDUCATION PROGRAM. AND NOW, KAREN DEMPSEY GETS ONE OF HER MOMENTS THIS EVENING. KAREN.

>> SO YOU MAY RECALL THIS, THE BOARD LAST MONTH HAD SOMEONE IN PUBLIC COMMENT WHO CAME AND COMPLEMENTED THE RAIN BARREL PROGRAM. SO, THAT'S, THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR AN AGENDA ITEM WITH EVERYTHING ON THAT, SO THAT'S WHAT I'LL BE DOING WITH

[00:25:02]

THIS ONE. I'LL GET TO THE RAIN BARREL AT THE END. THE WOODLANDS TOWNSHIP HAS SINCE THE DROUGHT IN 2009 TO 2012 DID ESTABLISH A WATER CONSERVATION EDUCATION POSITION, WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDING THREE EVENTS, CLASSES, WORKSHOPS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES TO ADOPT WATER SAVING MEASURES. THE BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR INCLUDES $12,500 RELATED TO THESE PROGRAMS. THESE PROGRAMS OFFER A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES FOR AUDIENCES, ONE OF THOSE IS IN YOUTH EDUCATION. PICTURED HERE IS A TEACHER WHO IS OUR WATER EDUCATION, WATER CONSERVATION EDUCATION PERSON RIGHT NOW.

HE'S BEEN DOING A WONDERFUL JOB FOR US, HE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB PARTICULARLY OF WORKING WITH TEACHERS. HE HAD A PROGRAM WITH IT WAS 144 CLASSROOMS OF FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS IN THE WOODLANDS.

THEY WERE PROVIDED A BOOK TO SUPPORT THE EDUCATION AND THE WATER CYCLE. BUT IT'S MORE THAN JUST THIS ONE PROGRAM. HE ALSO WORKS WITH SCOUT GROUPS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES, PRIMARILY TO EDUCATE ON WATER SAVING AT HOME, DRINKING WHERE OUR DRINKING WATER COMES FROM AND WHY TO KEEP OUR WATERWAYS CLEAN AND FREE OF POLLUTION. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE OUTREACH EVENTS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES ATTENDS OTHER DEPARTMENTS EVENTS, SO RECENTLY THEY ATTENDED THE NATIONA PARK OUT AND HAPPY HOUR WHICH WAS NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES PROGRAM TIED TO NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, WHERE THEY REALLY FOCUSED ON PEOPLE WHO ARE WALKING IN THE COMMUNITY, WALKING THEIR DOGS, BE AWARE OF SURROUNDING AREAS.

GAVE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES A GREAT AUDIENCE TO TALK ABOUT CLEANING UP AFTER YOUR DOG BECAUSE WHAT ENDS UP AS LITTER ENDS UP IN OUR WATERWAYS. THEY ALSO HAVE HAD WATER CONSERVATION EDUCATION BOOTHS AT VARIOUS EVENTS, THEY PROVIDE WATER SAVING DEVICES, EDUCATION ON IRRIGATION AUDITS, TIMERS, AND ALSO PROVIDE THE DOG WASTE BAGS. ONE OF THE PROGRAMS I BELIEVE MOST OF THE BOARD IS FAMILIAR WITH IS OUR STORM DRAIN MARKER PROGRAM. WE HAVE ABOUT HALF OF THE STORM DRAINS IN THE COMMUNITY MARKED WITH THESE MARKERS, THE MARKERS THEMSELVES ARE PURCHASED BY THE MUDS, AND THEN WE COORDINATE VOLUNTEERS.

AND A LOT OF INTERAGENCY PROGRAM ASSISTANCE. SO WE DO NOT ACTUALLY PROVIDE THE RAIN BARRELS, THAT IS ALL COORDINATED THROUGH THE WOODLANDS WATER AGENCY. WE DO PROVIDE A LARGE AMOUNT OF EDUCATION ON WATER SAVING THINGS. WE DO ALSO HELP ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO PURCHASE THE RAIN BARRELS AWAY THAT THE PROGRAM WORKS, IF YOU PURCHASE A RAIN BARREL AND YOU ARE IN ONE OF THE 10 MUDS SERVICED BY WOODLANDS WATER, YOU ARE ABLE TO GET A REBATE FOR 50% OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE RAIN BARREL. YOU CAN PURCHASE A RAIN BARREL ANYWHERE, THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ENCOURAGE IS THE WOODLANDS GREENWICH WE'VE LONG HAD A PARTNERSHIP WITH, WOODLANDS WATER WE HAD A PARTNERSHIP WITH, THEY HAVE A DEEPLY DISCOUNTED RAINWATER BARREL SO YOU GET A DOUBLE DIP, THERE. THERE DISCOUNTED RAIN BARREL, AND THEN THE REBATE ON TOP OF IT. THE RAIN BARREL PROGRAMS ARE A GREAT PIECE OF IT. OF WHAT WE DO. BUT, WE ALSO OFFER EDUCATION PROGRAMS SUCH AS DRIP IRRIGATION WHICH IS A WATER WISE COMPARED TO USING A STANDARD SYSTEM. WE DO HAVE A RAINWATER HARVESTING WORKSHOP, THE NEXT ONE WON'T BE HELD UNTIL THE SPRING OF 2026, AND THEN ON YOUTUBE, ON THE TOWNSHIP YOUTUBE CHANNEL WE HAVE EDUCATION VIDEOS ON LANDSCAPE PROJECTS, AND ALL OF THESE ARE IN ADDITION TO THE RELATED PROGRAMS WE PROVIDE ON SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPING , CHOOSING WATER WISE PLANTS, NATIVE VEGETATION SO THAT YOU CAN USE LESS WATER AND STILL HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE. THAT COMPLETES MY REPORT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

>> I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF RAIN BARRELS THAT ONE CAN HAVE AT A RESIDENCE?

>> AMBER? >> OKAY.

>> WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.

[00:30:04]

>> THANK YOU, AND I SHOULD HAVE SAID, AMBER BARNES OUR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES MANAGER IS HERE TODAY.

>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU. FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL REPORT. IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE EVERYONE FROM CHILDREN ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH SENIORS ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT SAVING WATER IS. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT TEXAS IS IN A BIT OF A CRISIS WITH PROTECTING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SHORTAGE OF WATER GOING FORWARD. OF POTABLE WATER. WHEN YOU DO THE EDUCATION, DO YOU ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THAT, ABOUT HOW SERIOUS THIS COULD BECOME? OR IS THIS FEEL-GOOD?

>> I DON'T KNOW THAT WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THE DIRE SITUATION THAT WE COULD END UP IN. THAT IS THE PIECE OF THE BOOK THAT WAS PROVIDED, IT DOES REALLY TALK ABOUT YOUR WATER USE, AND SPEAKS TO THE AQUIFER, AND RELATED ISSUES.

>> THERE'S A BIG CONTROVERSY RIGHT NOW IN AUSTIN ABOUT WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO ALLOW WATER INJECTION INTO THE

AQUIFER. >> WE DON'T GET INTO THAT PIECE

OF IT AT ALL. >> IT'S IMPORTANT, AND IT'S A MEASURE THAT SOME COMMUNITIES ARE TAKING TO STORE WATER WHEN THEY HAVE IT, IN A NON-RESERVOIR WHERE THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF EVAPORATION, BUT IN THE GROUND. THERE ARE LOTS OF CONCERNS AS WELL BEING RAISED BY PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT THE LONG-TERM IMPACT ON THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF WOODLANDS WATER IS LOOKING AT THAT, OR IF THAT'S MORE OF THE LONE STAR GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT WHO ARE LOOKING AT THAT. BUT, IT'S ALL WORTH THE RESIDENCE KEEPING THEIR EARS AND EYES OPEN, BECAUSE, IT'S EXPENSIVE TO SHIP WATER IN TO BRING IT IN YOU HAVE TO BUILD BIG PIPELINES, AND THEN SOMEBODY'S OX IS ALWAYS GETTING GORED IF THE PIPELINE COMES ACROSS THEIR LAND, ET CETERA.

IT'S A VERY BIG DEAL, AND I'M GLAD YOU'RE DEALING WITH IT ON A SUPERFICIAL LEVEL. WE DON'T DIRECTLY HANDLE WATER. ARE YOU ACTUALLY TELLING PEOPLE THAT WE DON'T ACTUALLY DIRECTLY HANDLE THEIR WATER? BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF THE EDUCATION.

>> THAT IS ALWAYS PART OF THE EDUCATION PROCESS. I WOULD SAY, WHERE OUR FOCUS IS MORE, IN USING LESS AND USING RESPONSIBLY. SO, WE AREN'T GETTING INTO THE ROOT CAUSES OR WHERE THINGS MAY GO. IT REALLY IS MORE FOCUSED ON, HOW CAN YOU USE LESS WATER IN YOUR LANDSCAPE , AND HOW CAN YOU, HOW CAN YOU MAKE BETTER CHOICES AT HOME, AND A LOT OF THE REST OF THE COMMUNICATION REALLY WITH INCOME FROM WOODLANDS WATER, LONE STAR GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT AS YOU HAD NOTED. PART OF WHERE THE PROGRAM STARTED , IT WAS TIED BACK TO THE DROUGHT, THERE WERE ALSO, WE HAD BEEN TAKING ON MORE WATER CONSERVATION AS A RESULT OF THE RESTRICTIONS AT LONE STAR GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT PUT IN PLACE PRIOR TO THE GRP. DEVELOP IT. SO, THAT'S REALLY WHERE THE TOWNSHIP AND ITS ASSESSOR STARTED TALKING ABOUT WATER CONSERVATION. GOING BACK TO WHAT'S IN THE COVENANT OF ENCOURAGING LANDSCAPING, HAVING NO NATIVE VEGETATION, SO ALL OF THIS DOES DOVETAIL

TOGETHER. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I ASKED

[12. Receive, consider and act upon a report related to the Township's National Night Out Program;]

FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SO MOVED.

>> SECOND. >> ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY

SAYING AYE. >> AYE.

>> THANK YOU. NOW, AGAIN. RECEIVE, CONSIDER, AND ACT UPON A REPORT RELATED TO THE TOWNSHIP'S NATIONAL NIGHT OUT PROGRAM. ONCE AGAIN, WE CALL UPON KAREN DEMPSEY, OUR CHIEF OF

MINISTRY OF OFFICER. >> MEGAN COULD NOT BE HERE THIS EVENING, SHE IS ATTENDING THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE CITIZENS ACADEMY. WHICH IS A VERY BIG TIME COMMITMENT AND I ENCOURAGE ANYONE ON THE BOARD WHO IS INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE OPERATIONS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY PORTIONS OF OUR COMMUNITY. SO, I KNOW THAT CAPTAIN MENTIONED ABOUT NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, THE REASON WE HAD THIS ON THE AGENDA IS BECAUSE LAST MONTH WE DID HAVE A PERSON IN PUBLIC COMMENT WHO ASKED MORE ABOUT THE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT PROGRAM. AS IT TURNS OUT, HE WAS NOT A RESIDENT OF THE WOODLANDS BUT WE DID HOOK HIM UP WITH GOOD INFORMATION.

>> WE LET HIM COME ANYWAY. >> WE DID, WE ARE VERY WELCOMING. ONE OF THE BIG THINGS WITH NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, IT IS A

[00:35:04]

NATIONAL PROGRAM COORDINATING CONJUNCTION WITH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TOWN WATCH. IT IS HELD ANNUALLY TO PROMOTE COMMUNITY POLICE PARTNERSHIPS. THE REAL CORE OF THE PROGRAM IS NEIGHBOR GETTING TO KNOW NEIGHBOR. AND KNOWING WHO TO CALL WHEN YOU NEED SOMETHING. IT FOCUSES ON ENHANCING RELATIONSHIPS, AND IS THE LARGEST EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH EFFORT THAT IS HANDLED BY OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT. ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY THEY ARE TAKING ON QUITE A BIT WITH THE PATHWAY SAFETY AS WELL. THE GOAL OF NATIONAL NIGHT OUT IS TO HEIGHTEN CRIME AND DRUG PREVENTION AWARENESS, GENERATE SUPPORT FOR ANTICRIME EFFORTS, STRENGTHEN NEIGHBORHOOD SPIRIT, AND SEND THE MESSAGE TO CRIMINALS THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE ORGANIZED AND LOOKING OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER. WE BENCHMARKED THIS PROGRAM BY OUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION BY BOTH MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO BY OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT, PUBLIC AGENCIES AS WELL. WE DO HAVE MULTI AGENCY PARTICIPATION, AND WE DO CONTINUE TO HAVE LOW CRIME RATES. SO, NATIONAL NIGHT OUT IN THE WOODLANDS IS HELD ON THE FIRST SUNDAY IN OCTOBER.

NATIONWIDE, IT'S ACTUALLY HELD IN AUGUST, AND MOST OF THE REST OF THE STATE OF TEXAS ACTUALLY DOES IT ON THE FIRST TUESDAY.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, WE RECEIVED, AFTER RECEIVING A GOOD AMOUNT OF FEEDBACK FROM OUR RESIDENCE THAT IT WAS CHALLENGING TO HOLD THEIR ADVANCE ON TUESDAY EVENING, WE MOVED THE MAJORITY OF HOURS TO BE HELD ON SUNDAY. SO, ON THE FIRST SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, THERE ARE PARTIES ALL OVER OUR COMMUNITY, WE COORDINATE PUBLIC SAFETY VISITS FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT, FROM FIRE DEPARTMENT, A ENDO ATTENDED SOME, AND, WE HAD 289 PARTIES, WITH OVER 9000 HOMES DISSIPATING. WHICH IS A HUGE PORTION OF OUR COMMUNITY. WHAT'S NOT LISTED ON THIS SLIDE ARE ALL OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT THE DEPARTMENT IS DOING OUTSIDE OF JUST THE PARTIES. SO, I KNOW THAT SEVERAL OF YOU AND A GOOD AMOUNT OF OUR COMMUNITY SHOWED UP FOR THE BOOTS VERSUS BADGES SOFTBALL GAME, WHICH ALSO HAD A CAR SHOW THROUGH THE WOODLANDS CAR CLUB. WE ALSO HAD BOOTS VERSUS BADGES BLOOD DRIVE. WE HAD MEAT THE FLEET, A LARGE COMMUNITYWIDE EVENT. WE HAD SMALL EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THAT ARE RELATED WHERE WE ARE ALSO BUILDING THAT COMMUNITY, BUILDING AND STRENGTHENING THE PARTNERSHIPS, THINGS LIKE COFFEE WITH A COP.

WE ALSO DO A PROJECT 365 THAT WE TIED TO NATIONAL NIGHT OUT. THIS YEAR'S WAS A WHERE AND PREPARED WHERE WE HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA ARTICLES VIDEOS THAT WE PUT OUT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, SO WE TRY TO DO IS MAKETHIS NOT JUST FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, NOT JUST FOR THE FIRST SUNDAY IN OCTOBER, BUT REALLY SOMETHING THAT IS COMMUNITY BUILDING ALL AROUND THE YEAR. WE THINK THAT THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF WIRE PROGRAM IS SUCCESSUL.

>> AND IT'S BEEN THROUGHOUT THE TENURE OF YOU IMPLEMENTING THIS HAS BEEN VERY NOT ONLY POPULAR, BUT HAS WON NUMEROUS AWARDS. IN

MANY CATEGORIES. >> IT HAS. IN THE LAST 35 YEARS OR OVER 35 YEARS IN THE PROGRAM WE HAVE PLACED IN THE TOP 325 TIMES. WE'VE SECURED THE FIRST PLACE 10 TIMES. WE'LL BE ANXIOUS TO SEE HOW WE TURN OUT THIS YEAR, WE FIND OUT THE SECOND WEEK OF DECEMBER WHERE WE LAND , TYPICALLY WE'LL COME BACK AND ANNOUNCE THAT TO THE BOARD IN JANUARY.

>> KAREN, COULD YOU SHARE THAT THERE IS NO PARTICULAR DAY , DATE, THAT IS SET ASIDE FOR NATIONAL NIGHT OUT?

>> WE FOCUS ON THAT FIRST, THE FIRST SUNDAY IN OCTOBER. BUT, IF THAT DAY DOES NOT WORK FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WE WILL FIND SOMETHING THAT WILL WORK FOR YOU, IN FACT. I THINK THE LAST PARTY IS ACTUALLY ON OCTOBER 31ST.

>> THAT OUGHT TO BE FUN. LOOKS LIKE HAVING THEIR PARTY ON FRIDAY. THIS COMING FRIDAY. WE WOULD RATHER HAVE YOU PARTICIPATE ON A DIFFERENT DATE THEN MISS IT ALTOGETHER.

>> IT'S ALWAYS FUN. IT'S A GOOD EVENT.

>> AND WE DO HAVE THEM, ASIDE FROM IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS WE ALSO HAVE PARTIES IN APARTMENT COMPLEXES, IN SENIOR FACILITIES, AND I MENTIONED THE BARK IN THE PARK, WE DO HAVE DOG PARK

[13. Receive, consider and act upon an update regarding the Village Presidents' Council;]

[00:40:04]

FOR A MOTION AND SECOND TO ACCEPT THE REPORT.

>> SO MOVED. >> SECOND.

>> ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

>> AYE. >> OPPOSED, SAME SIGN. NEXT, KAREN. I WILL GIVE A BRIEF REPORT ON THE PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL. WE MET WITH ANN PETERSON AND WITH KAREN DEMPSEY.

I THINK WE HAVE A VERY GOOD CONVERSATION ABOUT, FIRST OF ALL, ALL THE ISSUES AND ALL THE COMMUNICATIONS THAT THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH VERY EFFECTIVELY, I MIGHT ADD. I THINK ALSO WE CAME UP WITH SOME DISCUSSIONS ON HOW WE MIGHT SHARE BETTER INFORMATION AMONG THE VILLAGES AND THE TOWNSHIP TALK OR OTHER MECHANISM BECAUSE OF THE PUBLICATION OF THE MAGAZINE, EVERY OTHER MONTH. IT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO GET TIMELY INFORMATION, I KNOW THEY'RE LOOKING AT WAYS WE COULD DO THAT. ON THE TOWNSHIP TALK ONLINE OR WHATEVER. I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY USEFUL FOR US TO FIND OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON, I KNOW YOU'RE ANXIOUS TO TELL US ABOUT. ALL PRESIDENTS WERE, I THINK, WE HAD ONE SUBSTITUTE WENT VERY WELL.

CAN I ASK FOR A MOTION AND SECOND TO APPROVE THE REPORT?

>> SO MOVED. >> MAY I ASK A QUESTION OF YOU, SINCE YOU'RE THE EXPERT? IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE E VEHICLES BY THE VILLAGE PRESIDENTS? ANY SUGGESTIONS?

I'VE TALKED TO SEVERAL. >> WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT, I THINK EVERYBODY IS IN THE SAME SITUATION IN TERMS OF FRUSTRATION AND HOW WE DEAL . THE ONLY THING, QUITE FRANKLY WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO COME UP WITH EFFECTIVELY IS IN TERMS OF THE EDUCATION PROGRAM, THAT THE SCHOOLS ARE ALL DOING. I KNOW THE VILLAGE ASSOCIATIONS ARE ALL EMPHASIZING THAT SAME THING IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND THEIR VILLAGE MEETINGS.

>> THEY ARE? THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. A LOT OF PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT'S GOING ON. AND I MEANT TO ASK, BUT, DID THAT COME UP AT YOUR MEETING, AND WHEN YOU HAD YOUR BIG PICNIC RECENTLY, DID IT COME UP? SO, IT DID. I THINK IT'S A VALUABLE WAY TO CONTINUE TO EDUCATE, AND IT'S REALLY AT THE GRASSROOTS.

YES. ALWAYS. >> I THINK, HELPED A LOT. ALWAYS DOES. OKAY, THANK YOU. THERE IS NO NEED FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION. I KNOW YOU'RE DISAPPOINTED BY THAT. NOW, WE SWITCH TO ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS . MATTERS THAT NEED TO BE ON THE AGENDA AT NEXT

MONTH'S MEETING? >> MR. CHAIRMAN, WE NEED A VOTE ON ACCEPTING THE PRESIDENTS REPORT.

>> ALL IN FAVOR BY SAYING AYE. >> AYE.

>> ALL OPPOSED, SAME SIGN. THANK YOU. CONSIDERATION OF ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR NEXT MONTH'S MEETING.

>> SO, I'M WONDERING, ARE WE READY FOR A REPORT, IS THERE ANY NEW DATA THAT WE'VE COLLECTED ON THE E-BIKE STUDY? NOVEMBER?

OKAY, THANK YOU. >> ANYTHING ELSE? NO? OKAY. ANY

[17. Board announcements; and]

BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS? >> YES. THE BIG ONE RIGHT NOW IS THAT WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF A VERY IMPORTANT ELECTION, AND I THINK IT'S CRITICAL THAT PEOPLE NOT FORGET TO GO OUT AND VOTE FOR TOWNSHIP REPRESENTATIVE. THERE ARE THREE SEATS THAT ARE ON THE BALLOT, AND ALSO, 17 AMENDMENTS , AND PLEASE STUDY THE AMENDMENTS AND GO OUT AND EXECUTE EYES YOUR DEMOCRACY, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT, AT THE BEAUTIFUL NEW KEVIN BRADY COMMUNITY CENTER. IT'S A GREAT PLACE. YOU WILL ENJOY TOURING, AND IF YOU HAVEN'T, SO, THAT'S MY MESSAGE. IT WILL BE THE FINAL DAY TO VOTE IS NOVEMBER 4TH. IT WILL BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

>> YOU MIGHT WANT TO STUDY THOSE AMENDMENTS BEFORE YOU GO, THE PROPOSITIONS. THEY'RE CONFUSING AND THERE'S A LOT OF THEM.
