City eyes road projects for continued growth Oak Ridge North economy recovers following sales tax revenue slump BY HANNAH ZEDAKER For the first time in three years, Oak Ridge North saw an increase in total sales tax revenue in fiscal year 2018, giving optimism to city officials as they focus on implementing proj- ects to continue the city’s upward economic growth. Home to about 150 businesses across 1.5 square miles, Oak Ridge North Mayor Jim Kuykendall said sales tax revenue is a key revenue stream for the city as it accounts for approximately 70 percent of the city’s total revenue and provides the majority of funding for city services, programming and projects. “Sales tax is a factor in determining the health of our business CONTINUED ON 56
BACK ON TRACK
After two consecutive years of decreasing sales tax revenue , Oak Ridge North experienced its first uptick since 2015 last fiscal year.

FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
Events showcase area’s unique character
We also have a guide to help you make plans for the kids this spring and summer. Although 2019 has just started, we are halfway through the school year. One of the fondest memories I have as a child is attending summer camp. Please view our summer camp and spring break guide (see Page 46) to plan activities for your kids. Parents may also want to learn more about the Conroe ISD bond that will affect homeowners in the district. We detail the plan in one of our front-page stories. I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead to continue producing the best piece of mail you’ll get in your mailbox every month.
I have loved The Woodlands for as long as I can remember. Growing up and being a part of this community for close to 25 years, I understand the uniqueness and issues important to readers here. I am thrilled and humbled to be assum- ing the role as general manager of The Woodlands edition and even more excited to fulfill our mission of building commu- nities of informed citizens and thriving businesses. Among the events we want to tell you about this month, we have a film festival in The Woodlands. This is the third annual Inspire Film Festival to be hosted Valen- tine’s Day weekend (see Page 45).

Community Impact Newspaper , which has 26 papers across Texas and Arizona, relies solely on local advertising for funding. As a privately owned company, our founders, John and Jennifer Garrett, realized the value in local jour- nalism supported by local advertising. Advertising in Community Impact Newspaper not only allows us to produce quality content, but it also allows us to maintain a solid team of seven—a general manager, two account executives, a designer, two reporters and an editor—and provide hyperlocal news for free in The Woodlands. That said, each article we write is independent from our advertisers. Our monthly print edition com- prises 50 percent editorial content and 50 percent advertising. This ratio helps us to balance hyperlocal reporting and news with the support of high-quality advertisements. If you have any questions, email us anytime at wdlfeedback@commmunityimpact.com.

When market turbulence occurs, human nature causes investors to want to take action. Although riding out bad times and staying the course has always proven to be the prudent course of action, investors ability to do so is limited. Ok, since we know it’s hard to act rational during tumultuous times, how then does one control one’s emotions at a time when self- control is vital? Simply put, the investor needs a plan. If you already have mapped out what you are going to do when markets go down and also what you are going to do when markets go up, then at least you have a road map to follow when difficult times arrive. You can’t control what the market does. What you can control is how you react to market volatility. Let us help you prepare for tomorrows uncertainty.

WORTHWHILE CONVERSATIONS APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING…
UNDER THE FIDUCIARY STANDARD , DOES PAYING A FEE FOR FINANCIAL ADVICE ASSURE AN ADVISOR IS ACTING IN YOUR BEST INTEREST? People assume that to be the case, but not necessarily. Just because a financial advisor is associated with a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) does not mean all advice will be in your best interest. Many financial advisors working under an RIA firm also affiliate with a broker-dealer and routinely “switch hats” from advisor to broker when working with clients. This switch may be unapparent, but it means the legal standard for advice has been lowered. OFFERING RECOMMENDATIONS UNDER A LOWER STANDARD – IS THAT LEGAL? Yes, it is completely legal, if disclosed as a conflict of interest. But disclosures are oftentimes buried in the fine print of agreements, and some advisors fail to make the written disclosures clients have a right to expect. Last December, the SEC censured two Registered Investment Advisors for investing client money in mutual funds that paid brokers 12b-1 fees to the President and Chief Investment Officer of the RIA firm. This arrangement was clearly a conflict of interest, but it went undisclosed to clients. Fines and disgorgement penalties totaled almost $2 million.
ARE THESE VIOLATIONS RARE? Not as rare as one might hope, and regulators cannot intercept all of these. FINRA, the regulator for brokers, levied a similar dollar amount of fines in the second half of 2018 for sales practice violations, with some big-name firms included. HOW CAN CLIENTS PROTECT THEMSELVES? The best defense is to ask your advisor to answer one question, in writing: “Will 100% of the recommendations you make to me in our business interaction be subject to the fiduciary standard and therefore made in my best interest?” Imagine how a “Yes” response can eliminate a myriad of concerns in the client-advisor relationship. This is the model we follow at Linscomb & Williams. Now in our 48th year of business, our experienced team is ready to meet and restore your confidence in a truly client-centered wealth management relationship, right now, at our offices in The Woodlands.

HOW ITWORKS Drivers must move over or slow down to pass emergency vehicles The Texas Department of Public Safety continues to enforce the Move Over/ Slow Down law. The law passed in 2003 requires driv- ers to either move over a lane or slow down for vehicles that are stopped on the side of the road with activated emergency lights. Those vehicles include police, fire, emergency medical services, DPS troopers and tow trucks, according to the law. If the road has multiple lanes traveling in the same direction, the law states drivers must vacate the lane closest to stopped vehicles. If drivers do not have an opportunity to change lanes, they must slow down to 20 mph below the speed limit when passing the stopped vehicles, according to the law. Last year, more than 41,000 warnings and citations were issued to those found violating the law, according to DPS. Enforcement is needed “in light of the numerous vehicle crashes that occur in Texas and across the nation on a daily basis and the unfortunate fact that many still violate the state law that has been in effect for 15 years,” DPS Director Steven McCraw said in a news release last year. Violations can result in a fine of up to $200, or $500 with property damage. If violation results in an injury, drivers could face jail time and a maximum fine of $2,000, according to the law. “We encourage motorists to show the same courtesy to fellow drivers stopped along the roadways,” McCraw said.

COUNTY
Harris County may allow voters to vote at any polling location in future elections BY SHAWN ARRAJJ
up to speak on the voting center proposal at the Jan. 8 meeting. Pro- ponents said the centers would likely increase voter turnout while reducing the number of people who cannot vote because they go to the wrong polling location and cannot get to the correct location before polls close. Other speakers cautioned about possible unintended consequences when it comes to consolidating polling places. Commissioners Jack Cagle and Rod- ney Ellis both emphasized the impor- tance of keeping the public engaged and making sure any consolidation of polling places does not catch people off guard or disenfranchise voters. Ellis said he did not want the focus to be on saving money when debating a consolidation. “We need to ... do something differ- ent than what we have been doing to get people out [to vote],” Ellis said. The public hearing was recessed with plans to reopen it at a future Commissioners Court meeting. After the public hearings, Trautman said she will bring the proposal back at
she campaigned on last year. She said the change led to increased voter participation in other places where it has been implemented. Trautman said if the county moves forward with the transition, it would be best to start with a smaller election, citing the upcoming school board elections that will take place within several county districts in May. Trautman proposed leaving all 700 election day polling locations open for at least the first few elections. Over time she said the county can look over voting patterns to determine if polling locations should be consolidated or relocated. “We would check with the commu- nity before consolidating any existing voting locations,” she said. Any change to polling locations would also have to be approved by Harris County Commissioners Court, which reviews a full list of polling locations before each election, Traut- man said. Around 30 residents and represen- tatives from community groups signed
a future meeting, at which point commissioners would vote on whether to apply to the secretary of state’s office for permission to implement the program.
Harris County commissioners took the first step Jan. 8 in a process to evaluate whether the county should use election day voting centers in future elections. If the county does move forward with such a plan, voters on election day will be allowed to cast ballots at any of the 700 polling locations across the county. Harris County voters can currently vote at any polling location during the early voting period but must vote at specific locations on elec- tion day, depending on what precinct they live in. If approved by commissioners, the county would need to get permission from the Texas Secretary of State before switching to voting centers, Harris County Clerk Diane Trautman said. Election day voting centers are used in 52 other Texas counties, she said, including Travis and Collin counties. Trautman, who expressed support for election day voting centers at the meeting, said the issue was something
A change to Harris County’s voting practices could allow residents to vote at any county voting center.
Registered voters could vote at any of the 700 VOTING CENTERS .
The practice is used in 52 TEXAS COUNTIES .
Voting centers could be implemented as soon as MAY 4 for local elections.
