BOARD GOALS FOR 2016: DEED RESTRICTION ENFORCEMENT

The WCIA Board has established many goals for the year 2016. One primary goal is a fine policy, which will be strictly enforced for deed restriction violations. The most flagrant violations, which are a nuisance and even a hazard in the neighborhoods will be dealt with swiftly. These include operating a car repair facility or other noisy, dirty, business from a home in either Westlake or Westlake Forest. Day care for a small number of children and telecommuting or consulting work are not a violation of the deed restrictions. Pictures will be taken, a letter noting the type of violation and a remediation request will be sent. Following that, a notice of the fine schedule will be sent along with other information required by Texas law. As a final remedy, our covenants and state law allow the association to correct the violation and charge the costs to the homeowner. The vast majority of our residents takes good care of their property and do not violate the deed restrictions. Westlake and Westlake Forest are single family home subdivisions and the covenants for both subdivisions reflect this. Businesses, rental to multiple persons, failure to properly maintain the exterior and mow the lawn, junk strewn about on the lawn and in the front area are the violations, which are most egregious. Forewarned is forearmed. Take care of your property and if you are a renter, don’t put your landlord in a position of facing litigation. Follow the covenants. The deed restrictions for both Westlake and Westlake Forest can be found on our website www.westlakecia.org. Ignorance is not a valid excuse.

IMPROVEMENTS AND UPGRADES FOR WESTLAKE FOREST & WESTLAKE

ELECTRICIAN 5 Year Warranty* 100% Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed!

Improvements and upgrades are on the agenda for this year in Westlake Forest and Westlake. In Westlake Forest, we plan to upgrade and change some of the playground equipment and reconﬁgure the playground a bit. In Westlake Forest’s Reﬂections Park, we will be adding park lighting for better security. In addition, we will be repairing the fences a bit on Saums Road and refreshing the stain on the new fences and pergolas in the park, at the pool and at the playground and community center. The new members of the Westlake Committee are working through their goals and these will be announced following our February 2016, meeting.

FILE ACC BEFORE MAKING MAJOR CHANGES IN YOUR HOME

All owners are required to ﬁle an ACC document when changing the paint, roof or altering the exterior of the home in any way. This form can be found on our website: www.westlakecia.org. Major changes that are initiated prior to ﬁling an ACC form will be challenged in a court of law.

NUISANCE ABATEMENT ENFORCEMENT CONTINUES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS

community, inoperable vehicles, health and safety hazards… these and much more are addressed under Texas law as it applies to Nuisance Abatements in the Traffic Code and the Health and Safety code. All contract units are trained in every Nuisance Abatement law on the books. Each law will be enforced quickly. Once again we are putting a burden on the Sheriff’s Office that rightfully belongs on other agencies and the homeowners’ associations, but this is the most expeditious way of solving the many problems we are seeing in both Westlake Forest and Westlake.

progress or suspicious persons or vehicles, no arrests will be made, the crime or criminal activity will continue and the Sheriff’s Office will not know that anything is going on. Yes, we have those rare occasions where a deputy, by pure luck, drives up on a crime or suspicious activity in progress. But why rely on luck when you have a telephone? The number to call is 713-221-6000. This is the phone number for the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. If there is an emergency, call 9-1-1. We live in HARRIS County. If you would like a magnet for your refrigerator so that both these numbers are readily available to you, stop at the Franz Road Fry Store Front and pick one up.

So, if you know of a home that is abandoned, has a junk vehicle in the driveway or street, trash, debris, high grass, a dangerous swimming pool, etc., please email Annette Baldwin at info.westlake@gmail. com or call her at 281-578-9118. She will forward the information to our deputy or the district nuisance abatement deputy who will act on it immediately.

Do NOT call the Franz Road Store Front for a deputy or in an emergency. These deputies are with the Crime Prevention Bureau. The phones are answered during weekdays only. You can go to the Store Front to file a minor report such as the theft of a bicycle or to pick up information or complete a Vacation Watch form. However, this office does not dispatch deputies.

This program began in 2011 following the training of all deputies. New deputies who bid into contracts are trained in Nuisance Abatement prior to their new assignment.

GARAGES AND CARS ARE MADE FOR EACH OTHER

The vehicle Nuisance Abatement and parking code are enforced in an ongoing policy for Westlake and Westlake Forest. The health and safety laws will supplement that for further improvement in our neighborhoods.

While parking on the street and in the driveway is legal, it is amazing how many people do not use their garages for vehicle parking. If your garage is full of junk, this might be the time to clean it out, throw it away or put it in the attic

CALL IT IN… CALL IT IN

If you must park on your driveway, please remember to lock your vehicle. Before leaving your vehicle, take out items that might attract a criminal (major or minor) such as CDs, tapes, computers, cell phones, cash, credit cards, bags containing unknown items and anything that might attract a crime of opportunity. If you leave items in your vehicle and your vehicle is unlocked, don’t be surprised if your property is missing the next day.

If you don’t call to report a crime or suspected criminal activity in

Recently we have theft reports of catalytic converters and wheels from various vehicles parked both on the street and in driveways. Both of these are expensive replacements, minimally requiring a deductible payment on vehicle insurance and often raising your rates with a claim. It would seem wiser to empty the garage and park the cars there overnight.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with the Harris County Health Department and the County Attorney in an effort to clean up these problems. A quick review of our calls for service in 2014, has demonstrated that our residents are not calling the Sheriff’s Office on suspicious persons and suspicious vehicles as well as crimes such as burglary of a motor vehicle, etc. This appears to be particularly with residents whose homes back up to the greenbelt.

Come join us for fun & great prizes! PARKING LAWS INCREASE SAFETY

Once again we are asking you to please be considerate of your neighbors and the emergency personnel who risk their lives for us. Fire engines and ambulances often cannot squeeze down some of our streets when cars and trucks are parked on the street. Park cars in your garage and on your driveway. Always lock cars parked on your driveway and make sure you have removed “attractive valuables” from them. Since the largest homes in our subdivisions have four bedrooms, there is really no reason for more than four cars per house… two in the garage and two in the driveway. Guests can park on the street, but they need to be very aware of the parking laws in Texas. Due to the continuing upswing in street parking, the following Parking Laws of the state of Texas will be enforced to the letter: 1) Park no closer than 30 feet from a stop sign 2) Park no closer than 20 feet from a cross walk 3) Park no closer than 15 feet from a fire hydrant 4) Park no farther from the curb than 18” 5) Cars parked on the street must be locked 6) Park with the flow of traffic 7) Vehicles parked on the street must have a valid and current registration and inspection sticker and be in operable condition 8) Parking for more than 48 hours on the street is a violation that will result in towing 9) Do not obstruct the driveways of others with your vehicle 10) Double parking will result in immediate citation and possible towing These laws are not designed for a neat appearance. These laws are designed for the safety of the public. The life you save might just be your own. And many citations have been written over the past six months; citations will be written to any vehicle that is illegally parked.

VANDALISM COSTING YOU MONEY

Every time one of the juveniles in our neighborhood chooses to vandalize the community’s property, the costs for clean up or replacement are taken directly from our general fund. With addition of video cameras last spring, we are prosecuting all individuals who vandalize or trespass on subdivision owned property. Parents, we strongly suggest that you know where your children are and what they are doing. Parents, charges will be ﬁled against your child (teenager) and reimbursement to the community will be required by the court.

TREE PLANTING TIME

January and February are excellent times to plant trees and shrubbery in the Houston area. The temperatures are chilly to moderate and the trees and shrubbery are given the best possible start on life. If you are considering adding to your landscaping, we recommend that you choose one of these two months to do it. Your money will be well spent.

ALARM PERMITS

Alarm permits in Harris County (not within the city limits, that’s us, folks), are obtained through the Harris County Alarm Detail. A permit application can be found at www.hcso.hct.net. The application can be printed from the website, then completed and mailed to their office with the applicable fee. Should you have any questions or need a form, contact the Alarm Detail at 713-755-4600 during normal business hours. There is a charge for the initial permit and for each annual renewal. If you are over 65, special rules apply. When installing a new alarm, don’t let your alarm company do this. Many of them automatically process these through HPD and your alarm will never be answered.

SCHOOL NEWS KATY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT WWW.KATYISD.ORG KATY ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES 2016-2017 ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY MODIFICATION

The Katy ISD Board of Trustees voted to approve an attendance boundary modiﬁcation (ABM) designed to address the opening of three new campuses and alleviate overcrowding at campuses landlocked with 125 percent capacity. This ABM will provide muchneeded relief to Rylander and West Memorial elementary schools, as well as, balance enrollment as the District prepares to open two elementary schools and one junior high next school year. During this entire process, the District welcomed feedback from the community through an online survey. Nearly 9,000 parents, staff and community members completed the survey and dozens shared their feedback during the open forum at various Board meetings. These comments helped shape the ABM and addressed major needs and concerns cited by parents and community. The District presented to the Board a preliminary ABM proposal on November 16th and then an updated option on December 7th to better address the overcrowding at West Memorial Elementary.

The Board approved the updated ABM option on December 14th. The District estimates that approximately 3,600 students will be impacted by the approved attendance boundary modiﬁcations. Katy ISD will be notifying all impacted families in January/February 2016. For more information about the ABM process, including maps of the approved attendance boundary modiﬁcations, visit the District’s ABM webpage.

Hall of Fame. Coach Joseph, along with eight other inductees, were announced on Saturday, December 19th at NRG Stadium. Coach Joseph began his coaching career at Luling High School 37 years ago. After advancing in jobs at Brazosport and Austin Westlake, he then moved to Katy High School, where he has served for 33 years. He was the KHS defensive coordinator and then assistant head coach for 22 years before becoming the KHS head coach in 2004. During his tenure as head coach, he has led the Katy Tigers to eight state final games with three of those appearances resulting in 6A State Championships. His current coaching record stands at 167-14. While individual and team accolades are greatly appreciated and honored, Coach Joseph also strives to build a strong group of student athletes who recognize, through the actions of their head coach, the necessity for integrity, loyalty and the value of leading oneself and others through lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victories with humility and hardships with grace. The induction banquet will be held on May 7, 2016 in Waco, Texas.

March 11th-April 3rd: “Harvey” - What do you get when you mix a polite and friendly man with a strange, six-foot-tall, invisible rabbit named Harvey? A sister who wants to commit her brother, but gets committed herself and a town comically turned upside down on the search for a mild-mannered hero and his invisible friend. All performances are on the HFAC Garza Mainstage, recently named “Houston’s Best Gem of a Theatre” by the Houston Press, except for Peter Pan, which will be performed at the Berry Center.
