ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL NATIONAL NIGHT OUT
Thanks to so many who made our 2015 National Night Out a big success. Over 42 volunteers worked since August to put the event together. Residents from 15 of our streets attended to boost the attendance to 464. Major underwriters included Kroger, Academy, Mud 61, PCMI and 76 area vendors who donated gifts or items for the gift bags. The Bayou City Dixieland Band provided timeless music during the evening and the Eagle Drummers from Diane Winborn Elementary School thrilled us with their playing. Children of all ages were showing off their wild balloon hat creations created by magician artist Chuck Montgomery. Community first responders were well represented by the Sheriff’s Department, KISD Police and firefighters from HCES. Of course the fire truck was a big hit with children who loved getting sprayed by the fire hose. Our thanks to all the local companies that contributed their sponsorship and especially to director Michael Wood for his creative thinking and hard work in putting together this hugely successful event. And if you haven’t yet seen the photos a link to them is still posted on the home page of our web site www.wsmaonline.org.

CHRISTMAS YARD OF THE MONTH DECORATING CONTEST
One of the good things that Christmas brings us is the opportunity to see and enjoy the beautifully decorated homes in our neighborhood in celebration of the Christmas Holiday. In accordance with our long tradition, we will once again be holding the Christmas Holiday Yard Contest. On the weekend of December 12th and 13th, we will choose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place yard and put the corresponding award signs in these yards where they will remain for the remainder of the month. Photographs of these award winners will also be posted on our web site and these winners will be mentioned in the February edition of the community newsletter. Williamsburg Settlement is such a beautiful subdivision all year long and at Christmas our residents really make the neighborhood sparkle. So be sure to put up your lights and decorations early and have them on during the weekend of the judging and maybe your yard will be chosen this year!

Approve Proposal for Replacement of up to Six Thousand Feet (6,000 feet) for Perimeter Fence Larry Crain explained that, as approved at the September meeting, a specification for the replacement of up to six thousand (6,000) feet of our original perimeter fence was prepared and five companies were invited to submit proposals. Of these, three responded with bids, which ranged from $20 to $24.5 per foot. The specification includes the provision that the quality of the construction will be reviewed after the selected contractor has completed fence sections spanning the first two lots and continuation of the contract will be contingent on it successfully passing this inspection. The Association also reserves the right to terminate the contract at any time it may become unsatisfied with the selected contractor’s performance. With these provisions, a motion to award the contract to the lowest bidder, Adrian Granados Company at a price of $20 per foot, was made by Larry Crain, seconded by Walt Smith and unanimously approved. Assessment letter to go with Invoices The letter to be mailed with 2016 invoices has been completed and will be mailed with the 2016 assessment notice. Contracts Up for Renewal with no Increase The landscaping Contract with Texas Lawn Care is up for renewal on November 1, 2015 and that for our patrol services on January 31, 2016. A motion to approve renewal of both of these contracts as of their termination dates was made by Walt Smith, seconded by Larry Crain and unanimously approved.

Issues Arising from the 84th Session of the Texas Legislature The Board is reviewing the revisions to the laws governing Home Owners’ Associations that were passed at the Texas Legislature’s 84th Session. One major change is that decisions on a certain category of issues can now be approved by a majority of Directors outside of regular meetings. Previously such decisions required unanimous written consent. There will be a need for other minor procedural adjustments and the Board is awaiting advice from the Association’s attorney. These changes will require revisions to both the Association bylaws and certain other of our dedicatory instruments and will be presented for approval by our members at the April 2016 general meeting.

The Board reviewed all Deed restriction matters and disposition of same. The Board discussed sending a special assessment notice to a mortgage company and obtaining some help on one specific account. The Board reviewed a request by a homeowner who requested help in paying for replacement of their fence, which backs up to the Association property but does not belong or benefit the Association. It was decided that the fence has to remain the homeowner’s responsibility and unfortunately the Association cannot contribute to its replacement. With no further business the meeting was adjourned at 6:33 PM. The next meeting will be the budget meeting, November 17, 2015 starting at 5:30 PM at the community clubhouse.

UPDATE OF EMAIL ADDRESSES
This is just a reminder that the email addresses to which emails from the WSMA Webmaster are broadcast are those that have been registered on the www.WSMAonline.org website by the residents themselves. This email distribution list is used to disseminate important announcements to Settlement residents. However, email addresses do tend to be rather dynamic as residents change their ISP for a variety of reasons and when they do so, unless they reregister their new email addresses on the Registration page of the website, they will no longer receive these broadcast emails. So please, when conveying a new email address to those in your address book, also update our mailing list by removing your old email address and replacing it with your new one. This will ensure that you continue to receive the timely announcements on important Settlement activities. And for those who have not yet registered, you are strongly urged to do so as this is the best mechanism we have to quickly communicate with our residents. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
RESIDENT DIRECTORY MAINTENANCE
If any resident wishes to update the information that they have previously provided for publication on the Directory page of our website, they can do so by using the RESIDENTS’ DIRECTORY ENTRY FORM. This form is accessible via the Forms, Registration or Directory pages of our website www.wsmaonline.org. The webmaster uses the information submitted to maintain the directory database. If the resident indicates on the form that he or she is agreeable to having their information accessible via the online Residents’ Directory
Williamsburg Settlement
page, the update will be made as soon as possible - usually within 24 hours. New residents to our subdivision are requested to use this same form to register their information for inclusion in the directory OR TO CONVEY THEIR DECISION THAT THEIR INFORMATION NOT BE INCLUDED. This request to new residents is included in the Welcome Packet given to each as soon as PCMI is made aware of the change in Ownership.
STREET LIGHT OUTAGES
To report a burned out streetlight, any resident may call CenterPoint directly at 713-207-2222. However, for those with Internet access, you may also make this report on-line. For those interested, you can go to http://cnp.centerpointenergy.com/outage. Then enter your contact details so that they can get back to you if more information is required. On the following page enter the details of the light(s) with the problem. Just as you would if reporting the outage via the telephone, you will need to provide the street address where the light is located and the 6-digit number that is prominently displayed on the front of the pole. Under normal circumstances the crew will be out to fix the problem within 7 working days. Anyone noticing a streetlight that is out or has some other malfunction is encouraged to report the problem to CenterPoint via either of these two methods without delay. Our Association is charged for every streetlight each month, irrespective of whether or not the light is functioning. So please help us get value for your hard earned money!
REMINDER ABOUT HOUSE PAINTING
Residents need to be sure and pay attention to the state of the paint on their houses. Many of the houses in the settlement are of an age that they will soon need to be repainted or sided. Please be proactive in getting this done when necessary. Doing this before you have a problem will not only keep your house looking nicer, but doing it early can end up saving you money! But please remember that all

The luncheon was held at the Hilton Americas located at 1600 Lamar Street, Houston, TX 77010. Founded in 2009 by children’s author and public speaker, Melissa M.
