Several people suggested that they would like to have a time for seniors to get together in the clubhouse. We are open to the idea and have tried this in the past... there was not much interest. If there is interest, we are more than happy to support the idea. We will open up the clubhouse and have coffee and bagels for seniors to meet and get to know your neighbors. We have some cards and other games that we will set out if anyone is interested in getting a game going. If the group stays consistent, we have lots of ideas such as pot luck luncheons.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTION

On November 10th, we will be having our annual meeting and election for 2 positions on the Board of Directors for a 3-year term beginning January 2016. You may vote in person at the annual meeting or by Proxy at any time before the election. We urge you to cast your vote in order for us to meet our quorum of 10% of the total homeowners in Memorial Parkway. The candidates for these 2 positions are as follows: Barbara Burleson I am seeking election for another term on the Board of Directors. I have been employed with a construction company as Executive Vice President and Treasurer for a total of 30 years. Also, I have served on the National Board of National Association of Women in Construction. I am currently on the MPBA Board and have been involved for several years having served as President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. I have lived in the Katy area for 36 years and Memorial Parkway for 15 years. My goals have not changed, which is to keep our neighborhood safe for our families and our homes well kept. This is and will continue to be important to me personally. It is a great feeling to know that we can live in a nice well-kept neighborhood even though our homes are 30 to 40 years old. And we all can work toward that goal and be proud of Memorial Parkway. I ask you to vote in our election and vote for me. Thanks. Chris Collard My wife and I have been married for 28 years and have been residents of Memorial Parkway Subdivision since September 1999. Our son graduated from Taylor High School and we have enjoyed the Katy area. I have worked in The IT/Customer Service field for over 20 years focusing on the Customer Service aspect of it. I really enjoy helping clients get what they need. I am conservative, but not Republican or Democrat, neither party interests me. I honestly don’t see the difference. I have always tried to live my life by not majoring on the minors and focusing on what is important. Charles Herring I have lived in Memorial Parkway for 28 years and have been involved with the homeowners association for 12 years while serving on the Board for the past 9 years. Prior to this, I served with my wife, Susan, on the Security Committee for many years. Keeping property values high and our neighborhood safe are my foremost priority. As an auditor for 35 years, I understand the value of money and the proper/ethical use of it. I enjoy visiting with my neighbors at the Board and committee meetings,

listening to their concerns while helping them find an equitable solution. My children grew up in this neighborhood and I will strive to do my best to keep it a good and safe neighborhood. Your vote would be appreciated. Michael Olsen My name is Michael Olsen and I have lived in the Memorial Parkway neighborhood for 17 years with my wife Kim and our two children, Cameron and Mikayla. Our family’s experience as residents of Memorial Parkway has been an enjoyable one. We are members of Epiphany of the Lord Catholic Church and we have great neighbors and wonderful friends in the neighborhood and community! Our son, Cameron, has attended Memorial Parkway Elementary School and Junior High and graduated from Taylor High School in 2014. He attended the University of Houston this past year. Our daughter, Mikayla, attended MPE and is currently attending MPJH in the 7th grade. Both have been very active in their schools’ theatre arts programs and also as members of the Memorial Parkway Swim Team. My wife, Kim, the heart of our family, has raised our children and been very active in supporting them in their endeavors over the years, most recently serving as Vice President of the Memorial Parkway Swim Team in 2015. Kim and I also served as Cotreasurers for the Taylor PlayMakers Booster Club in 2014. My career path has been primarily in mid-level retail management for Lowe’s Home Improvement and Albertsons/Randalls grocery stores. I am currently a Category Manager for Albertsons/Randalls Houston Division. As a manager, some of the strengths I’ve been recognized for are strong leadership skills, including an ability to work as a team player, working efficiently and fairly toward negotiating win-win outcomes, an ability to innovate and problem solve creatively and a willingness to help with a positive attitude. The nine y years I spent in the Marine Corps Reserves early on in life, taught me the values of integrity, solidarity and commitment to service that I carry with me to this day. The Memorial Parkway community has provided a great environment in which to live and to raise our children. I have watched this community grow and evolve over the past 17 years and have often felt inspired to contribute more. I would welcome the opportunity to give back by serving on the HOA board over the next term. What I would bring to the position is years of management experience, highlighted with the strengths listed above, along with a passion for life and a love for people and my community. I believe everyone’s voice should be heard as we work through issues together to help Memorial Parkway continue to thrive!

The dumpster at the rear of our parking lot on Cimarron Parkway is not for use by residents who want to get rid of their garbage or debris. This dumpster is for Association use only. We have a security camera on the premises, so if you’re guilty of throwing your trash in our dumpster, we probably have you on video tape. All sidewalks, within Common Areas, shall be maintained by the Association. All other sidewalks shall be maintained by the owner of the lot on which the sidewalk is situated. If any section of your sidewalk is uneven, which may cause someone to trip and hurt themselves, you are responsible for repairing or replacing that section of the sidewalk and liable for any injuries incurred. In some cases, a sunken section of a sidewalk may be caused by a water or sewer line leak. If you’re in doubt, you can call Precinct 3 at 281-4636300 and request that someone come to your home and check it out.

may not be able to reach their destination if traffic flow is inhibited, 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 across the street and park so that you’re not making it difficult for 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.

STREET GUTTERS AND DRAINS

We ask that you keep the street area in front of your home clean, so that leaves, pine needles, grass clippings and dirt won’t accumulate in the gutters next to the curb and end up being washed into the drains causing them to back up and flood the streets. If you see someone putting grass clippings, oil or other debris down the drains, please contact the MUD District and the County at 281-463-6300. This includes lawn contractors that are blowing the leaves into the street instead of bagging them. Some of our residents feel that this was a waste of our time and are upset that we had written to them stating that they were getting this waste from a neighbor up the street. On the other hand, most of our residents understood that backed-up drains would cause flooding on some of our streets and cleaned up their yards and streets regardless of where the debris came from. We ask that you do the same. THANK YOU!

LAWN MAINTENANCE

Many of you have received letters regarding the need to re-sod the bare spots in your yard. We suggest that you take care of this matter in the next month or two. If there are trees in the yard that may be

preventing the lawn from getting ample sunlight, you may have to get them trimmed. You may also have to lay new dirt so that the seeds can take hold. We also encourage you to keep your lawn mown and edged one a weekly basis, if necessary to maintain a neat appearance at all times. Remember to remove the weeds growing between the seams of the concrete on the sidewalk and driveway.

GARAGE SALES

MPCA would like to suggest that garage sales be conducted the first Friday and Saturday of each month. 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 public right of way, like the esplanades), they may be subject to fines of $500-$1,000 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.

Memorial Parkway Community Association has inspectors that drive through the neighborhood checking for violations of our deed restrictions. They are not permitted to get out of their cars and/or trespass on your property. They only take pictures of violations that can be seen from the street. If you see one of our inspectors stopped in front of your home, please do not approach their vehicle to confront them. Their vehicles are identified with a MPCA sign on the car door that says deed restriction inspector. Some of our inspectors have been threatened, verbally abused and some have been followed. If they see you approach their vehicle, they have every right to drive off without talking to you.

If you still have questions, call the office. If you get a notice of violation and you feel it was sent to you in error, please call the office. Our staff will look at the picture taken of the violation and confirm whether the address is correct or not. 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 with it. But with 2,219 homes to inspect and over 25 miles of streets, they sometimes get it wrong. If that’s the case, we apologize for the mistake and will remove the violation from your record.

ANIMAL INFORMATION REMINDER FOR DOG WALKERS

Be a responsible / considerate pet owner by picking up your dog’s waste from your neighbor’s yard when you’re out for a walk. There’s nothing more frustrating than stepping in fecal matter in your own yard when you don’t even have a pet.

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.

kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”

Harris County Health Department, Rabies/Animal Control Section 2223 West Loop South, Houston, Texas 77027-3588 www.countypets.com

Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following circumstances: 1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being who is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question. 2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle. 3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not have access to sidewalk or street.

1. Contact your neighbor and work it out as good neighbors should.

While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained. Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing to properly restrain their pet. Please remember that cats fall under the same laws as dogs and must be licensed and kept restrained when not on the premises of the owner. We’ve been told that spreading moth balls in flower beds might keep cats away. To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly restrained please contact: Harris County Precinct #5, Contract #87: 281-463-6666 Harris County Animal Control: 281-999-3191

Memorial Parkway

PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING BARKING DOGS:

2. In the event that #1 is not possible, contact the Constables at 281463-6666. It is our understanding that the Constables will investigate the barking dogs. In order to file a formal complaint you must be willing to give the officer your name, address and phone number for their records.

PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING LOOSE DOGS, DOG BITES & LOST PETS:

1. Contact Harris County Animal Control at 281-999-3191 or 281999-3194. A recorded message will guide you through the system. When reporting a loose animal you will be asked to give your name and address, a description of the animal and the address of the animal’s owner (if known).
