PROCLAMATIONS

Proclamation Recognizing The Woodlands College Park High School Boys Soccer Team State Championship
Director Adam Lamb read a proclamation recognizing the College Park Cavaliers boys soccer team for winning the 6A Division II State Championship. The Cavaliers earned their first-ever 6A state title with a 5 to 3 penalty shootout victory over the Summer Creek Bulldogs following a hard-fought championship match. The Board recognized the players, coaches, trainers and team manager for their dedication, teamwork and perseverance throughout the season, including playoff victories over multiple district champions and a semifinal win against Plano West. The proclamation also acknowledged the support of families and the broader College Park High School community in the team’s historic achievement.

REGULAR AGENDA

APPROVED – Amendments to Township Park Order No. 019-09
The Board of Directors held a public hearing regarding proposed amendments to Township Order 019-09, which governs the use of Township parks, recreation and open space areas. Following the hearing, the Board unanimously approved the amendments. Originally adopted in 2009 and modeled after rules established by the Township’s predecessor community associations, the Order has been updated periodically to reflect the growth and evolving needs of the community. The approved amendments include language memorializing Senate Bill 12 related to restrictions on sexually oriented performances on public property and in the presence of minors. Additional language was also added to address protected free speech activities through “busking,” which allows public artistic performances for voluntary donations in designated areas. The amendments clarify that these performances using amplified sound require a Special Event Permit.

APPROVED – Amendments to Township Park Order No. 020-09
The Board of Directors held a public hearing regarding proposed amendments to Township Order 020-09, which relates to park user fees for the use of park, recreation and open space areas. Following a public hearing, the Board of Directors unanimously approved amendments to Township Park Order No. 020-09 related to parks and recreation fees and policies, with the exception of proposed Commercial Use Fees for Waterway Square and Hughes Landing. Board members voiced concerns that allowing additional permitted commercial use in those areas could create increased parking challenges and lead to unwanted impacts from large events and activities. The approved amendments followed a comprehensive 2026 Parks and Recreation Fee Analysis that reviewed fees, policies and cost recovery practices for Township facilities and amenities. Updates included adjustments to pavilion, field and aquatics fees, the addition of nonresident pricing for certain courts, new park and ride lot reservation fee options for nonprofits and policy updates related to special event use and public access.

APPROVED – Amendments to Covenant Administration Fees and Adoption of Order No. 005-26
The Board of Directors held a public hearing regarding proposed revisions and amendments to Covenant Administration fees and adoption of Order No. 005-26 to replace Resolution No. 014-24. Following a public hearing, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the proposed revisions and amendments to the Covenant Administration fee schedule related to commercial and residential applications and variance requests for proposed and existing improvements. The changes are intended to capture improvements not previously identified, require each improvement requesting a variance to incur an expense fee rather than a hearing fee and encourage property owners to submit applications prior to installation. The overall structure distinguishes between “base services,” which support routine beautification and maintenance improvements requiring limited staff review, and “enhanced services,” which involve additional resources such as committee review, inspections, technical evaluations and enforcement actions. During discussion, the Board requested that staff return with a proposed waiver process for residents impacted by circumstances beyond their control, such as fires, hurricanes or similar disasters, when restoring their homes. The revised fee schedule will take effect July 1, 2026.

APPROVED – Funding Request for Township Mobility Hub Alternative Analysis
Director of Transportation Ruthanne Haut presented information to the Board regarding the proposed Township Mobility Hub Alternatives Analysis, a study designed to evaluate the feasibility of a multifaceted mobility hub in The Woodlands Town Center that could include structured parking, enhanced park and ride facilities, rideshare management and improved transit connectivity. The proposed study aligns with the Board’s long term strategic priorities related to transportation and economic development identified during the May 2025 Strategic Planning Session. The analysis will evaluate potential locations, environmental considerations, conceptual site plans, funding opportunities and implementation strategies, including potential public private partnership models that could leverage federal funding opportunities. The Board unanimously approved the allocation of $250,000 from the Hotel Occupancy Tax Reserve to fund the Township Mobility Hub Alternatives Analysis and authorized the President and Chief Executive Officer to execute all necessary documentation.
