The Woodlands Board of Directors convened on May 22, 2025, to address several key agenda items, focusing on infrastructure improvements and governance matters.

The meeting commenced with discussions on the approval of easement requests related to new light energy poles. Director Chris highlighted the integration of these poles, which resemble beehives, into existing infrastructure. The board unanimously approved the motion to proceed with the easement request.

Next, the board reviewed a request for proposals (RFP) for engineering services concerning the State Highway 242 Pathway project. This initiative aims to enhance bike and pedestrian pathways, extending from Highway 1488 to Interstate 45. The project has received a significant grant of $9.7 million from TxDOT, with the township required to contribute 20%. Quiddity Engineering was selected as the top firm based on scoring criteria, and the board authorized negotiations for a contract. If negotiations with Quiddity fail, the board will engage the second-ranked firm.

The meeting also addressed the Harris County Central Appraisal District Board of Directors appointment process. Todd Stevens explained the necessity for the township to send a letter to participate in the upcoming elections for reclamation districts. The board discussed the cumbersome nature of the process and ultimately approved a motion to authorize the chairman to sign the participation letter.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to advancing community infrastructure and navigating governance challenges. The next steps include finalizing the engineering contract for the pathway project and preparing for the upcoming appraisal district elections.
