DIFFICULTY PAYING YOUR ANNUAL DUES?

If you haven’t yet paid your Westgate fees for 2016 and anticipate not being able to pay on time, be sure to call PCMI (281-870-0585) to discuss getting on a payment plan before more fees are tacked on - from the attorney, etc. $605 can turn into $1,000+ very quickly. Even if you don’t think you can pay all at once, you need to call PCMI to make payment arrangements; DON’T WAIT and cost yourself MORE money. These dues help pay for landscaping, electricity, water, refurbishing and adding amenities and pool management, among other things. It helps Westgate continue to be a great community with stable or increasing property values. If you’d ever like details of how your dues are spent, you can always ask our management company. Also, go to our annual meeting and you will receive a copy of the budget and actual expense list as well as a list of assets.

Family Owned & Operated

At the Annual Homeowners’ Meeting in March, one position on the HOA Board of Directors is up for election. Tom Rowley is in this position currently. If you are a Westgate homeowner and you’d like to run for this position, you MUST submit your INTENT TO RUN BY February 15, 2016 to PCMI by contacting our new manager Angela Bumann at Angela.Bumann@ STservices.com (also copy the Board at board@westgatetx.net) or calling 281-870-0585 (PCMI). If you have any questions about what Board directors do, feel free to email us. HOA Board members should be residents who want to help steer Westgate right and protect their investment. Having good Board members can make a big difference in the quality of life in a neighborhood. They need to have common sense, care about the community and be willing to go to monthly meetings to conduct business.

HARRIS COUNTY MUD 70 ELECTIONS

Hey Westgate neighbors! There are TWO POSITIONS up for election on our MUD district Board. Elections are typically in May. Interested parties need to contact the MUD district’s attorney’s office, Schwartz, Page and Harding as soon as possible to be included in the election. We will provide the deadline to enter your name and the date of the election on Westgate’s Facebook page and website as soon as the MUD provides the info to us. 1300 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 1400 Houston, TX 77056 Office: 713-623-4531 Email: info@sphllp.com This is Westgate’s chance to have more representation for our neighborhood. Neither of these positions is currently held by residents from Westgate; one is not a resident of either subdivision. As residents, we pay a significant amount of taxes to this entity, so it would best be served by people who live here. MUDs I’ve lived in typically work with neighborhoods they serve to improve the area as well as make decisions on upkeep on its water related assets. I imagine that the deadline to register is SOON, so jump at the chance! This position even PAYS you for going to meetings, so you can have a say in how our tax money is handled and be compensated for your trouble. Even if you’re not interested in running, we need to make sure all our neighbors know to vote. Keep an eye out on our Facebook page and website to know when the deadline to enter is and when the election is.

NEW FINE POLICY FOR DEED RESTRICTION VIOLATIONS

Beginning in 2016, Westgate will be instituting a new fining policy for deed restriction violations. Our bylaws give approval to do so. After researching other neighborhoods’ fining policies and working with our attorney to ensure we comply with state law, the Board voted to approve this step. Why did the Board feel this step was necessary? Our job is to do what we can to keep up property values in our community; some violations, when notification letters are ignored, pull down the overall appeal of our neighborhood. While some violations must be sent to the attorney, others can be addressed with fines and hopefully avoid attorney expenses. Fines also address the cost of repeated notifications and further necessary actions; in other words, if someone ignores notification letters, they pay for causing further actions with the fines. The details will be available once the Fine Policy document is filed with Harris County, but the policy is essentially this: • One notice of violation is mailed to homeowner. • After 30 days, certified Notice of Non Compliance letter is sent to homeowner. $50 fine assessed. The homeowner can request to be heard by the Board.

CHO’S TAE KWON DO CENTER • After 30 more days, another notice of violation is sent and $100 fine assessed. The Board can then send the matter to the attorney. • In certain circumstances, the Board can forgo the initial notice; for instance, if the violation is considered “uncurable” by the state (i.e. garage sale, fireworks or something that is a safety issue) or the same violation notice was sent within a previous period. At any time, anyone can request clarification on a violation by calling our management company, PCMI. More specifics will be available on this policy soon.

ANNUAL HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION MEETING IN MARCH WATCH FOR YOUR PROXY IN THE MAIL

The Westgate HOA will conduct its Annual Homeowners’ Meeting in March. The meeting will be at the Richard and Meg Weekley Community Center (8440 Greenhouse Rd. - right around the corner from Longenbaugh) on the fourth Thursday of the month, as usual; that’s March 24th. Registration begins at 6:30 PM and the meeting begins at 7 PM. You should receive a proxy for this meeting in the mail. It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to achieve that 5% attendance quorum at the Annual HOA meeting. A quorum of residents MUST BE REPRESENTED AT THE MEETING FOR BUSINESS TO BE CONDUCTED, including the election. You can represent your home by attending the meeting in person or by returning your proxy BEFORE the meeting. Feel free to email the HOA Board President Kimberly McGaughy if you have any questions or need your proxy picked up: Kimberly@westgatetx.net. You may also have someone come to your home to ask for your proxy for purposes of collecting enough to achieve a quorum. If you are having your proxy picked up, please put it in a sealed envelope. At the time of turning in this article, I haven’t yet seen the actual proxy, but residents will have the opportunity to vote for a Board position on the proxy. One Board position is up for election. Whoever wins that position will serve a two-year term. The deadline to submit your name for the election is February 15, 2016.

STEVE TOUCHY Attorney At Law

CCS SENIOR PRESENTS ROTARY LOMBARDI AWARD CCS varsity football kicker Landen Nealy was chosen to announce the winner of the 46th Rotary Lombardi Award, given to the nation’s best collegiate offensive/defensive lineman or linebacker. Nealy was selected to present the prestigious award because of his efforts to honor a former CCS football teammate, Vincent Salario, by raising funds for cancer research. CCS head football coach Jacob Spenn said, “We tell our players that being part of a team is being part of something bigger than ourselves.” The CCS football program focuses on building godly men who will impact their culture for Christ. Coach Spenn and the CCS football players in attendance were recognized as Nealy and Vincent’s parents, Gregory and Lei Ann Salario, were brought on stage. The Rotary Lombardi Award was presented to Carl Nassib of Penn State.

ST. CUTHBERT EPISCOPAL CHURCH

St. Cuthbert is located at 17020 West Road, Houston (the northeast corner of West and Queenston). For more information on any of our events, visit us at www.stcuthbert.org. You are invited to St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church’s Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on February 9th from 5:30-7 PM. We will eat pancakes and play bingo! Shrove Tuesday originated during the Middle Ages. Food items like meats, fats, eggs, milk and ﬁsh were regarded as restricted during Lent. To keep such food from being wasted, many families would have big feasts on Shrove Tuesday. The English tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday came about as a way to use as much milk, fats and eggs as possible before Ash Wednesday began. In France, the consumption of all fats and fatty foods on this day coined the name “Fat Tuesday” or Mardi Gras. Sharing Our Story Lenten Program - All are invited to St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church’s Lenten program, Sharing Our Story. The program will be offered for four Wednesdays in Lent, beginning February 17th through March 9th from 6:30-7:30 PM. We will hear a testimony from a speaker who will share with us their story. We will conclude with Holy Communion and healing prayers. The Youth (sixth-twelfth grade) will take a look at wilderness and how it relates to their lives and Children (kindergarten-ﬁfth grade) will explore the events of Holy Week. The nursery will be open. Please join us for this impactful, spiritually-based Lenten program.

“I’m In PAIN” Can Chiropractic Help ME ?

We are often asked, “What’s the best way of finding out whether or not a doctor of chiropractic can help my problem?” We believe the answer can be found in a complete chiropractic consultation and examination, including x-rays. And to help find out for sure, we will do a complete consultation and examination, including x-rays, if necessary, (procedures that normally cost $187.00 or more) for $25.00. We will make this special program available through February. The only exception to the offer involves personal injury cases (workers’ compensation and auto accidents) in which there is no charge directly to the patient.

FOSTER CHILDREN: PREPARATION FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL)

When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. That’s difﬁcult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to ﬁgure out how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month. Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. Want to help with PAL or other NCJW programs that help change lives with hands-on community service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see www. ncjwhouston.org.

If you have a little room in your heart and in your home (and your family pets are up-to-date on their vaccines and monthly heart worm preventative), then you are who we are looking for! There is no feeling in the world like the unconditional love you’ll receive from a rescued Dachshund, plus the friendships you’ll make when you join the DREAM Team! The more foster homes we have, the more Dachshunds we can save. Please help save a life and consider fostering today! Questions? Please send us an email to: Contact-Us@DreamDachs.org and a volunteer will respond to you right away with all the information you need! Ready to Foster?
