Summary
A resident, joined by the town mayor, asked the Conroe County Board of Education to accept deeds for town-owned property adjacent to a school for a proposed splash pad; the board said it could not discuss the delegation at the special session and will consider placing it on a future agenda.
Clayton Young, a resident, told the Conroe County Board of Education on Aug. 4 that he and the town mayor came to offer deeds to town-owned property adjacent to a school for a proposed splash pad. Young said there are three deeds related to the site: “2 of them would be totally handed over to the town,” and “the third one would have to be divided up because that’s the property that the school sits on and the football field.” He described the parcel as east and south of New John Street.
The board did not discuss the request at the special session. A board member explained that delegations on the agenda cannot be acted on immediately: “So where this delegation is on the agenda, we can’t discuss it at this meeting,” and suggested asking Dr. Potter to place the matter on a future meeting agenda so the board could review documentation. Young said he came “to ask tonight” that the board entertain donating the land to the town for the splash-pad project.
Board members and staff indicated they would seek to place the deed documents and the proposal on a future agenda for formal consideration; no vote or formal direction on the donation was taken during the Aug. 4 session.
Ending: The board indicated it would put the matter on a future meeting agenda for review; no timeline or formal staff assignment was announced in public session.
