TOWNSHIP Talk FROM THE BOARDROOM Township leaders diligently prepared the community’s 2026 Budget during a series of workshops in August and adopted the budget in early September. The Township Board emphasized a balanced approach—maintaining fiscal responsibility while continuing to invest in vital services and future growth. The 2026 Budget provides resources to maintain high levels of services and amenities desired by residents, supported by strong and diverse revenue sources, while ensuring budget flexibility. The budget reflects low and decreasing debt balances, and maintains positive cash flows and reserve balances, which are favorably evaluated by credit rating agencies. In addition, the 2026 Budget supports law enforcement by ensuring pay parity, as defined by the County, to attract and retain skilled officers and invests in advanced technology like body cameras, Flock cameras, and Lidar radar to enhance accountability, efficiency and public safety. The budget also enhances law enforcement presence in the Village of Creekside Park with the addition of two deputies. The Township’s strong financial position continues to be a cornerstone of its planning. With an excellent bond rating, low debt per capita, and carefully maintained reserves across operating, capital replacement, economic development and debt service funds, the Township is positioned for sustainable growth. The consolidated budget reflects revenues and expenditures across multiple funds, including the General Fund, Convention and Visitors Bureau, Capital Projects Fund and Transportation Fund.

All of the budget workshops, the public hearing and the special meeting to adopt the budget can all be viewed online at thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov/ meetingvideos.

Wearing a helmet is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself when bicycling or riding scooters. Helmets can lower the risk of serious injury in the event of a fall or collision. A properly fitted helmet reduces the chance of head trauma, which is among the most common and life-threatening injuries in crashes. Beyond safety, helmets promote responsible riding, set a positive example for others, and give riders peace of mind while enjoying the freedom of the ride. IT ONLY WORKS IF YOU WEAR IT THEWOODLANDSTOWNSHIP-TX.GOV/PATHWAYRULES
