The Woodlands Township board of directors will discuss a covenant administration fee waiver policy and several other topics during its scheduled June 25 meeting.
What you need to know
Community Impact previously reported updates to the Covenant Administration Department, or CAD, fees that will be implemented effective July 1. Most of the fee changes will impact commercial improvements as well as two minor adjustments to residential fees. During the next board meeting, the township will discuss a waiver policy proposal that can be used to help protect owners of residential and commercial property who experience damage or destruction to permitted improvements during natural disasters, according to the agenda.
The policy will provide some financial relief and administrative flexibility to affected property owners who experience a qualifying casualty event or hardship from natural disasters such as fires, tornadoes and hurricanes.
If the board votes to hold a public hearing on the policy July 16, they will decide at that meeting whether to waive CAD permit fees associated with reconstruction, repairs and replacement of existing improvements due to casualty or hardship events. The policy will not apply to new construction or improvements.
Also on the agenda
Among items on the consent agenda, which are typically approved in one motion without discussion, the township will consider an item to approve a new phone system infrastructure agreement that will move the township’s voice calling infrastructure to a cloud-provided option.
An annually funded $11,442 will go toward the computer support operations budget for the remaining two years of a three-year term, according to the meeting agenda. Currently, the township’s two network connections used for voice calling limit the calling paths to two data circuits on one carrier. The effort is to prevent phone service loss from carrier issues, such as during Hurricane Beryl in 2024, according to the agenda.
