MONTHLY HOA MEETINGS

STREETLIGHTS

Make sure you know what is happening in the Pin Oak Village HOA meetings by attending. Meetings are held at 7:00 PM on the second Wednesday of each month. Be there and join these directors each month and be informed of money they are spending.

The MUD taxes the residents pay help pay for the streetlights whether they work or not. If a streetlight is out or not working properly, please call 713-207-2222 and report the problem. Each pole has a number on it and you will need to give this number to the operator as well as the names of the closest streets. Last year we had a couple of lights out and the result was vandalism to several mailboxes. We need all lights working to keep our neighborhood safe. Thanks again to the Board of Directors at Ft. Bend County MUD #37 for saving us the cost of these lights.

CLUBHOUSE RENTALS Martha Baxter is in charge of the clubhouse rentals. Pool rentals are still done through Michelle at Sweetwater Pool Company. There are still lots of good dates available for free clubhouse use. We would like to remind all residents that the clubhouse is for Members Only and must be current on all fees. Residents are limited to two free uses per year. There is a $100 DEPOSIT REQUIRED THAT WILL BE REFUNDED, IF THE CLUBHOUSE IS KEPT CLEAN. The clubhouse is also being reserved for possible holiday party use by the Board, for the benefit of Pin Oak Village residents. These parties will be scheduled soon, so watch for upcoming events at our website, www. pinoakvillagekaty.com. To schedule lifeguards for any pool party, contact Michelle with Sweetwater pools at 281-300-6077. There is an additional form for Pool Rental, as well as cost, that must be filled out and paid prior to scheduling lifeguards. No pool party can be had without the approval of Sweetwater and at least one additional guard. Feel free to contact Martha at 281-392-8007. Martha’s address is 24606 Mt. Auburn Drive. Martha’s email address is as follows: rbaxter724@aol.com. Due to the many clubs and church groups that have reserved weekly dates being sought for by residents, the preference for use will be given to residents needs over weekly functions. Jeff will do his best to accommodate both weekly reservations and resident’s use.

TRASH PICKUP UPDATE The correct contact for trash pickup for Pin Oak village is as follows: Waste Corporation of Texas (WCA) 281-368-8397. Thanks again to the Board of Directors at Ft. Bend County MUD #37 for saving us the cost of trash pickup. Our MUD directors are saving us thousands of dollars by paying for the lights and trash each month.

Laws are written to ensure that owned animals are confined to their property or kept on a leash to free a community of unrestrained and free-roaming animals. Although most dog bites occur on the property where the dog lives, unrestrained or free-roaming dogs do pose a substantial threat to the public. In addition, unrestrained animals are at increased risk of being bitten by rabies infected wildlife. Enforcement of restraint laws is essential in enhancing the animal control program’s efforts to reduce the risk of rabies in our community. LICENSING OF DOGS AND CATS The primary benefit of licensing animals is identification, should that animal become lost. Licensing also: • Ensures that rabies vaccination are current. • Allows for quick identification in case of a bite incident. • Provides revenue to offset the administration costs of the animal control program. VACCINATION Rabies vaccinations are a prerequisite for licensing dogs and cats because they are an important control measure for the public health threat of rabies. In addition to protecting pets, rabies vaccinations provide a barrier between infected wild animals and humans.

When your dog is not in your yard, it is imperative that you keep your dog on a leash at all times. While your dog is friendly to you and your family, imagine the consequences if it were to harm someone while it was ‘roaming free.’

GARDENING TIPS FOR APRIL Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great many pests that die from various causes while in the bag. When you buy ‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you are also buying ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little more on bagged material and save lots of future pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top of your homes exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid in minimizing pests in your home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections.

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12” - 18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that is 18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can grow up next to the slab as long as you keep it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The most conducive to termite infestation are groundcover plantings, growing high against your homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows on your walls. Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray eliminates overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist the pest onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The fall spray also kills pests from the summer, prevents most fungi from occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset off to a healthy winter’s dormancy. Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop brown patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin and weak in some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a) lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control. Most important is proper watering • Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do not water.) • Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage. • In severe drought, water every 5th day. • Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning NOT AT NIGHT. • A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger and more drought resistant roots. • Less watering also saves you money!!

Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Dept. has a computer-generated program called “Are You OK?” (RUOK). It is a computer-generated call intended for senior citizens (over 55) and disabled persons who live alone and could benefit from a daily check. A computer will generate a call each morning, at about the same time and the participant chooses a time frame. A voice will ask, “Are you OK?” After this, all they have to do is hang up the phone. If the participant goes out of town or leaves the residence for any time, you just temporarily un-subscribe and re-subscribe when you return. If the call goes unanswered, the computer will call back 3 times at 15-minute intervals. If there is still no answer, the sheriff will dispatch a deputy or the local police. They will have with them a print out of information on the person that is not responding to the calls. This program was established by FBC Sheriff Milton Wright, Commissioner’s Court and Ken Whitt (FBC Sheriff’s Citizens Academy Alumni Assoc.) in 1998. Many police chiefs in the county are also participating in the program and will proceed with the welfare check for citizens of their community. To request more information or to enroll in this free and very beneficial program, please call the Sheriff’s dept. at 281-341-4704.

KATY ELEMENTARY

“The fact they worked so tirelessly and selflessly when their own homes were in danger,” said J. Stockstill about the volunteer firefighters, “Hopefully by our story, others will be inspired and moved to donate.” “It strikes at your heart, it’s pretty emotional, makes you know you’re appreciated,” said Banning, the leader with Heart of the Pines, about Katy Elementary donation. KPRC Local 2 Chief Meteorologist Frank Billingsley visited Katy Elementary to meet the students who made the story matter even more. “What I really wanted to say to you guys is thank you,” said Billingsley to the room full of kids and teachers. Thank you KPRC Local 2, Principal Leslie SMUTS, Jennifer Stockstill and all the Katy Elementary students for helping teach all of us about giving.

KATY ELEMENTARY HELPS WILDFIRE VICTIMS During the 2011 holiday season, many families in Bastrop, Waller, Montgomery and Grimes counties were still struggling after losing their homes to last year’s devastating wildfires. While it will take months and even years to fully recover, one local school has stepped up to help, Katy Elementary. “When Jennifer Stockstill of Katy saw the story brought by KPRC about the 24-members of the Heart of the Pines Volunteer Fire Department, she brought it before the Katy Elementary PTO board, “They said hands down, this is where we have to donate.” The students at Katy Elementary School had already been collecting coins to help victims of the wildfire. With this new goal, the students were able to collect $1,100.

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 demonstrating leadership skills and proficiency as well as by initiating and leading a community service project. Michael’s project benefited St. Bartholomew Roman Catholic Church’s Youth Program, Ryan’s project benefited The Katy Heritage Society and Ian’s project benefited 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.

Campbell is a noted author. She wrote both: Eve and the Choice Made in Eden and Eve and the Moral Journey: Finding Wholeness, Happiness, and Strength. A recent quote used to introduce her was, “It is essential for women to become articulate in all ways - in their lives and through their voices, as defenders of their homes, their faiths, their marriages, their beliefs, their core.”

The devotional is held on the 2nd Sunday of each month, from 4-5 PM and will be followed by a sharing of thoughts, ideas and ways to apply spiritual principles to one’s day-to-day affairs. Refreshments will be served. For details on the location or for answers to any other questions you may have, please call the Baha’i Faith of Fort Bend County at 281-395-9026.

Update For North Fort Bend County

By Commissioner Andy Meyers Reported crimes have decreased 7% in Fort Bend County and nearly 9% in the Katy/Fulshear area from 2010 to 2011, despite an increase in population. The crime rate has decreased each year for the last ten years resulting in Fort Bend County having the lowest crime rate of the ten largest Texas counties. An article in the Katy Section of the Houston Chronicle reported that crime in Katy/Cinco Ranch area, which is in both Harris and Fort Bend Counties, had increased.

The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office recently assigned 50 Deputies to the North County Annex located at the northeast corner of the Grand Parkway and the Westpark Toll Road. Building the Annex and locating the Sheriff’s Patrol Deputies in it will increase patrol time in the north part of the county by 10-15%, which helps decrease response times on complaints and reduce crime. The two direct connectors at SH 99 and Interstate 10 are now open, significantly reducing traffic congestion at that intersection. TxDOT has begun construction of Segment “E” of the Grand Parkway from Interstate 10 to SH 290. Fort Bend County has begun construction of the first two of ten Grand Parkway overpasses in the portion of Segment “D” from FM 1093 to US 59. Construction of all ten overpasses and of Segment “E” should be completed by year end 2013. Fort Bend County has begun engineering design on the extension of the FM 1093/Westpark Toll Road. The Project is in two Phases. Phase I consists of four lanes of FM 1093 frontage road from SH 99 to FM 1463, four lanes of main toll lanes from SH 99 to Spring Green Road, and a direct connector east FM 1093 to north SH 99. Construction of Phase I is slated to begin the fall of 2012 and will take 18-24 months. Phase II of the Project consists of four lanes of FM 1093 frontage road from FM 1463 to James Lane in Fulshear and will be about two months behind Phase I. The Project is funded mainly by TxDOT and the Fort Bend County Toll Road Authority.

The county will construct and operate a “Park and Ride” facility on property it owns on the north side of FM 1093/Westpark Toll Road between Mason Road and Grand Mission Drive. The “Park and Ride” is funded by a federal grant. It is scheduled to be completed by late summer 2013. Destinations from the “Park and Ride” will be to the Galleria Area, Greenway Plaza and the Medical Center. A continuous right turn lane from north FM 1463 to east Interstate 10 was completed in 2011 to reduce traffic congestion at that intersection. Further improvements to FM 1463, a state road, requires the federal government to approve and fund additional feeder lanes from FM 1463 east along I 10 and an overpass at the FM 1463/I 10 intersection. Such approval and funding is not anticipated for several years. To provide additional access to I 10, the county has been working with TxDOT, Waller County, city of Katy, and various property owners and developers to build the Cane Island Parkway from US 90 on the north to connect to FM 1463 on the south. Cane Island will include an overpass over I 10 about a mile west of the I-10 / FM 1463 intersection. This Project has been stalled by the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) insistence that the state and local governments provide full funding for the ultimate I 10 overpass, which is estimated to cost $30 million. Another proposal has been made to FHWA for approval of a two-lane overpass over I 10. We currently await a response from FHWA. Fort Bend County’s North Annex at 22333 Grand Corner Drive Katy, Texas 77494, is open to serve the community. Offices in the Annex include Commissioner Precinct 3 Andy Meyers, 281-238-1400; Tax office, 281-238-1490; County Clerk office, 281-341-8685; Justice of Peace Precinct 3 - Ken Cannata, 281-238-1460, Constable Precinct 3 - Rob Cook, 281-238-1430; Sheriff Milton Wright office, 281-3418745; Health & Human Services office, 281-238-3233; and Veterans’ office, 281-238-1480.
