VEHICLE PARKING ON THE STREET
It is not a violation of our deed restrictions to park a vehicle on the street as long as it is not being stored, is fully operational and has current tags.
Memorial Parkway
However, the Transportation Code of Texas, Title 6, Chapter 545, Section 302, states that
.a vehicle cannot park closer than 20 feet to an intersection. .a vehicle cannot park closer than 30 feet to a stop sign. The Board has asked our Constables to take the appropriate action whenever there is a violation of the Transportation Code. The parking of vehicles on the street has become a big problem in our neighborhood. School buses can’t pull close to the curb to pick up and let off students. In some cases, emergency vehicles especially when two cars are parked directly across from each other. Plus, vehicles parked on the street are those that are vandalized the most. Some of the worst areas are the cul-de-sacs where it’s hard enough to back out of a driveway or navigate the circle even when there aren’t any vehicles parked on the street. Be considerate of your neighbors and don’t park your vehicle in front of their house or block their mailbox. Also, think of the neighbor them to back out of their own driveway. All of our homes have at least a two or three-car garage and room for several cars in the driveway. We respectfully request that you refrain from parking on the street.
TRASH COLLECTION
If you are having any problems with getting trash picked up or want to register a complaint, please call WCA at 281-368-8397 if you are a customer of Memorial MUD. If you are a customer of MUD 81, you may call Royale Disposal and Recycle at 713-526-1536.

TRASH CANS
The HOA has received complaints about trashcans being stored in front of the home, left at curbside, and not being stored out of sight. In the past, the deed restriction committee has not been writing letters to homeowners about proper storage of trashcans. Since this has become a problem in the neighborhood, we are now sending letters to homeowners if their trashcans are not properly stored out of sight. Trash cans should be placed at the curb the morning of trash pickup and the cans should be stored away out of sight by the end of the day. If your trashcans are visible from the street on any day other than trash day, you will in violation of the deed restriction. Thanks to all of you who have started storing your trash receptacles out of public view. It really has made a big difference in the overall appearance of our neighborhood and we appreciate your cooperation.

GARAGE SALES
MPCA would like to suggest that garage sales be conducted the This will eliminate the many signs that are out each week and also makes for a stronger turn out. Most area communities only allow sales twice a year. Memorial Parkway could be known for its “Once a Month” garage sales. Do not attach your garage sale signs to the STOP signs, as it is against the law and the County can issue citations for this. If a sign is on a of $500-$1000 per occurrence per day. We also ask that you do not post your signs on the property of another resident. When your sale is over, please go back and pick up all of your signs.

If you still have If you get a notice of violation and you feel it was sent to you in Our inspectors make every effort to make sure they’ve got the right violation logged to the right address with the right picture to go along they sometimes get it wrong. If that’s the case, we apologize for the mistake, and will remove the violation from your record. As you can see from the following list, we have many un-resolved deed violations that are ruining the over-all appearance of our neighborhood. Storing miscellaneous items in view from the street can easily be remedied by just moving those items to another location - no cost involved. Storing trash receptacles and recycle bins in view can easily remedied by just moving them to another location that can’t be seen from the street - no cost involved. Correcting these two violations alone would greatly improve the appearance of your property. The next big item is lawn maintenance. We understand that the

LEASH LAW
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.

Pack 209 “Marked Men”
Katy Boy Scout Troop 209 recently held an Eagle Scout Award Court of Honor ceremony to recognize Michael Gilbert, Ryan Goodwin and Ian Johnecheck for achieving Scouting’s highest rank of Eagle Scout. Each Scout individually completed the requirements for Eagle by the Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition. The three began Scouting in 2000 as Tiger Cubs in Cub Scout Troop 925. Now as Eagle Scouts they have become “Marked Men” by assuming the solemn obligation to do their duty to God, to Country, to fellow Scouts and to Mankind in general. Graduating from high school in 2011, Michael currently attends Midwestern State University, Ryan attends the University of Arkansas and Ian attends the University of Oklahoma. Troop 209, sponsored by St. Peter’s United Methodist Church, was established in 1939 and since then 138 of its members have become Eagle Scouts. Only 4 in 100 Scouts will earn the rank of Eagle Scout.

Morton Ranch High School hosted its 7th annual Black History Program on February 16th. This year’s theme, “HEROES,” paid homage to the student’s heroes within their lives - whether a past or someone within their family that is their constant cheerleader. Student performances ranged from original poetry works, lyrical and hip-hop dances, skits and songs. To view more photos from Black History Month celebrations across Katy ISD, go to .

GIFTED STUDENTS BECOME ARCHEOLOGISTS DIGGING FOR TREASURE
GIFTED STUDENTS BECOME ARCHEOLOGISTS DIGGING FOR TREASURE More than 1,300 gifted students from every KISD elementary campuses visited the Katy Outdoor Learning Center over a two-week period to spend a day being archeologists. In budget conscious times, KISD and Katy Parents of Gifted and Talented (KPGT) joined forces to create a fantastic opportunity to put months of class research into practice. Specially prepared archeological pits were an unending source of fascinating artifacts leading students to hypothesize why bones, beads, arrowheads and other items may be discovered. Energetic geo-caching scavenger hunts through the woodlands introduced how archeologists use new technology. Archeology experts volunteered their time and knowledge to take students around the world on a virtual tour of ancient civilizations.
