APRIL BOARD MEETING<br />
The <strong>Westlake</strong> Civic Improvement Association will hold its April meeting<br />
on Tuesday, April 19, 2016, at 7 PM at the Community Center located<br />
at 2502 Franz Road in <strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong>. All homeowners are invited to<br />
attend. The Board will hold an executive session April 18, 2016, at 6:30<br />
PM at the Community Center. If you would like a special meeting with<br />
the Board about a collection issue or a deed restriction or architectural<br />
matter, please contact Emma Deatherage at PCMI to be placed on the<br />
evening’s schedule. We are back on our regular schedule of the third<br />
Tuesday of each month for our homeowner meeting.<br />
COMMUNITY GARAGE SALE<br />
Many of our homeowners and residents have asked if we would hold a<br />
community garage sale a few times a year. After discussion about how<br />
the Board can support a successful effort, we have decided to hold the<br />
Spring Community Garage Sale for <strong>Westlake</strong> and <strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> on<br />
Saturday, April 9, 2016 from 7-11 AM. The Board will advertise this<br />
community garage sale and we will be placing large banners on the<br />
median of Saums Road for the four hour period of the community garage<br />
sale. The Board will promote the Garage Sale through Nextdoor.com,<br />
on our website, through email and on Craig’s list. We encourage our<br />
homeowners to participate and maximize the amount of traffic for each<br />
family’s garage sale. Each homeowner will be responsible for setting up<br />
their own garage sale in their front yard and driveway. We ask that you let<br />
the Board know via a quick form on our website whether or not you are<br />
participating in this event. We will then advertise how many homes are<br />
involved, thereby further increasing your traffic on that Saturday morning.<br />

REPORT STANDING WATER & EMPTY STANDING WATER<br />
Report standing water to the Harris County Public Health<br />
and Environmental Services Department at 713-274-6300;<br />
this is the ENVIRONMENTAL DIVISION. It is imperative that<br />
no standing water be allowed in your yard or around your<br />
home due to the terrible consequences of the Zika Virus. The<br />
mosquito which transmits Zika is prolific in the Harris County<br />

2016 WESTLAKE GATORS<br />
SWIM TEAM REGISTRATION<br />
<strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> and <strong>Westlake</strong> have one of the finest programs<br />
available in the late spring and early summer for the children<br />
of our subdivision. If your child is between 4 years and 18<br />
years of age, you will want to enroll him or her in the <strong>Westlake</strong><br />
Gators Swim Team. Your child will learn to swim, get healthy<br />
exercise, have great fun and be able to compete in swim<br />
meets with his or her team mates. This program lasts until<br />
the end of June. Sadly, this team has often been populated<br />
by children from other subdivisions because our residents are<br />
not taking the time to join this wonderful team.<br />
Professionally managed by residents of <strong>Westlake</strong> and<br />
<strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong>, your children will gain a sense of fair play,<br />
accomplishment and joy in physical activity when you register<br />
them for the Gators swim team. Finances need not be an issue<br />
as scholarships are available for residents of both <strong>Westlake</strong><br />
and <strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong>.<br />
2 April 2016<br />
<strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong>
The <strong>Westlake</strong> Gators Swim Team (WGST) is now holding<br />
registration for the 2016 summer swim season online.<br />
This began March 14, 2016 and will end on May 6, 2016.<br />
Registration may be found at westlakegators.swimtopia.com.<br />
Each swimmer registered will receive a team shirt, insurance<br />
while participating in swim team events, team party and trophy<br />
at the end of the season and great learning experience with<br />
lots of fun with new and old friends.<br />
WGST is a summer team offering instruction, training and<br />
competition to swimmers age 4 to 18. The swimmer must be<br />
able to swim the length of the pool unassisted by May 17,<br />
2016. Practice begins Monday, May 2, 2016. Morning and<br />
evening practices will be offered during the month of June.<br />
WGST is a joint venture of <strong>Westlake</strong>/<strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong><br />
subdivisions to insure that both subdivisions will have a<br />
swim team for their residents. It should be noted that other<br />
subdivisions are also invited to join. We are a member of the<br />
West Houston Aquatic League (WHALe).<br />
WGST was organized to provide our youth the opportunity<br />
to participate in a quality competitive summer swimming<br />
program, which will provide personal growth, self-esteem,<br />
enjoyment and introduce children to the life-long health<br />
benefits of the sport of swimming. The sport will be taught in<br />
a fun environment while nurturing a competitive attitude at the<br />
individual’s own rate.<br />
WGST considers all swimmers as equal and integral members<br />
of our team. Our success is ultimately measured by how much<br />
opportunity we provide for the youth of our community and by<br />
how much their individual potential is maximized. The building<br />
of positive attitudes, health bodies, disciplined minds and<br />
enduring friendships are among the rewards our programs<br />
strives to offer to those who join.<br />

SAUMS ROAD FENCES IN PERIL<br />
FROM VINES, TREES & SHRUBS<br />
Spring is here which means everything is starting to grow. If<br />
your home backs up to Saums Road, please be sure to keep<br />
any shrubs or trailing vines trimmed away from the perimeter<br />
fence along the back of your home. When the shrubs and<br />
vines are allowed to grow through the fence not only does it<br />
cause damage to the fence it is unattractive. Thank you for<br />
taking the time to maintain the fence line!<br />
IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT<br />
MAKE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE<br />
When driving through our neighborhood, you may have<br />
noticed more residents leaving their trashcans, BBQ pits<br />
and many other miscellaneous items in view. While this is a<br />
minor thing, it really does make a difference in the look of your<br />
home when these items are not stored out of view. Our deed<br />
restrictions do require that your trash cans, recycling bin, BBQ<br />

pits and all other miscellaneous items be stored out of view.<br />
We will be sending letters if these items are in view from the<br />
road. If the deed restriction isn’t corrected, an initial fine will<br />
be charged to your account and every month thereafter until<br />
corrected. Please take the time to just stand back and look at<br />
your home and take note of what can be done to make your<br />
home look the best that it can. Do I need to paint? Are the<br />
window treatments neat in good condition and a neutral color?<br />
Is my roof, gutters and wood in need of repair? If you catch<br />
these things in the beginning then they truly are little things!<br />
Our neighborhood is in a great location, which becomes more<br />
attractive to prospective home buyers as the traffic in the area<br />
gets worse! However, if we allow our homes to deteriorate and<br />
do not keep them maintained and looking neat then our home<br />
values will also decline. If you notice something that needs to<br />
be taken care of or that might be a deed restriction, please<br />
take the time to notify our management company or one of the<br />
board members! If you should receive a letter advising you of<br />
a deed restriction, please correct it in a timely matter. If you<br />
need more time than noted in the letter to correct the violation,<br />
call the management company and they will note your file so<br />
you don’t continue to receive notices to correct the violation.<br />
CATS USING FLOWERBEDS:<br />
TRAPPING MAY BE DONE<br />
It has been discovered that free roaming cats are using the<br />
flowerbeds for their litter boxes. If this continues traps will be<br />
set and the cats taken to the pound. This practice puts the<br />
health of anyone who works or plays on the mulched area at<br />
risk. The diseases that can be transmitted cannot only make<br />
people very sick: some will die from the exposure to cat feces<br />
and urine in the mulch.<br />
CHECK OUT OUR COMMUNITY WEBSITE<br />
The <strong>Westlake</strong> CIA, which includes both <strong>Westlake</strong> and <strong>Westlake</strong><br />
<strong>Forest</strong> subdivisions, has a newly designed and informative<br />
website. The address is westlakecia.org. We encourage our<br />
residents to get timely information on repairs, improvements,<br />
activities and other elements of the neighborhoods’ operation<br />
from the website. The website offers “email blasts” with special<br />
announcements which you can choose to receive by signing<br />
up on where indicated.<br />
DEED RESTRICTIONS<br />
PUBLISHED ON WEBSITE<br />
The deed restrictions for both the <strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> and<br />
<strong>Westlake</strong> subdivisions are posted on our website. Please take<br />
a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the dos and don’ts<br />
of life in our subdivisions. Although we do not have the strict<br />
deed restrictions associated with more affluent communities,<br />
we do follow the “hometown” norm of our deed restrictions<br />
and expect our residents to contribute to the health of the<br />
neighborhood by complying. The website is westlakecia.org.<br />
ZIKA VIRUS FOCUSES COUNTY<br />
ATTORNEY & SHERIFF’S OFFICE<br />
ON NUISANCE ABATEMENT<br />
We have long advocated the benefits of applying the Texas<br />
Nuisance Abatement laws to our subdivisions. Even small<br />
amounts of standing water are cause for serious alarm as we<br />
are now in the “mosquito season” in the Houston area. The<br />
Zika virus is one which has severe consequences for unborn<br />
babies and, on occasion, serious health consequences for<br />
children and adults who contract the virus.<br />
After many discussions as to the merit of formalizing this<br />
effort, expanding it throughout the county and partnering<br />
resources with other Harris County Agencies, the Sheriff’s<br />
Office has announced the best programs yet devised for<br />
neighborhoods, such as ours, which are experiencing<br />
increasingly severe problems with junk vehicles, abandoned<br />
cars (parked on the street for 48 hours or more), abandoned<br />
4 April 2016<br />
<strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong>
homes, foreclosed homes, debris, trash, broken windows and<br />
hazards which impact both health and safety. Needless to<br />
say, neighborhoods which decay become enticingly attractive<br />
to the criminal element. These neighborhoods do not get the<br />
seal of approval from the real estate community, either. We<br />
want to eliminate these possibilities for <strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> and<br />
<strong>Westlake</strong>.<br />
The Sheriff’s Office has already trained nearly 250 deputies<br />
and sergeants in the Nuisance Abatement Code(s) of Texas.<br />
More deputies and sergeants are scheduled for training next<br />
week. Sgt. Ron Boatman will be in charge of the county-wide<br />
Nuisance Abatement program in the Sheriff’s Office. He has<br />
established relationships with the Health Department and<br />
the County Attorney’s office. The County Attorney’s office is<br />
present at all deputy trainings to answer questions about quick<br />
referral and information needed on the types of abatement in<br />
order to pursue these in a court of law.<br />

The Nuisance Abatement Officer from the Health Department<br />
will be working closely with all the deputies in Patrol, whether<br />
in contracts or district units, to enable all non-compliant<br />
nuisances to be expeditiously removed or corrected.<br />
This is not an enforcement of deed restrictions. Although Texas<br />
law and deed restrictions intersect on some of the nuisance<br />
abatement laws, law enforcement agencies do not enforce<br />
deed restrictions. If there is a deputy talking with someone<br />
about a nuisance, it is because the law has been violated.<br />
The County Attorney’s Office has assigned several of their<br />
attorneys to this effort. Each contract unit is trained in all facets<br />
of Nuisance Abatement. The Health Department Nuisance<br />
Abatement Officer for Harris County is partnering on this effort<br />
as well.<br />
Please let Annette Baldwin know about any of the following:<br />
1. Houses that are empty, abandoned or have debris, trash,<br />
appliances, high grass, rats, snakes, open doors, broken<br />
windows, swampy swimming pools, standing water, even in<br />
small amounts, etc.<br />
2. Vehicles parked on the street for more than 48 hours,<br />
especially those that are not operable, are on jacks, are<br />
illegally parked, do not have current registration or inspection,<br />
have flat tires, etc. It is illegal for any vehicle to park for more<br />
than 48 hours.<br />
3. Vehicles of any kind which are parked on the driveway or<br />
the yard and have expired inspection stickers, flat cars, are<br />
inoperable, haven’t moved for 30 days, are on jacks, etc.<br />
These are junk vehicles.<br />
4. Graffiti in commercial and residential areas. State law<br />
contains a provision for mandatory removal of graffiti.<br />
Please provide information on address, type of nuisance, if<br />
this is a vehicle, provide the location and make, model, color<br />
and license tag of the vehicle. For graffiti, provide a location<br />
reference.<br />
North Fry Road looks terrible. The Abby and other businesses<br />
at <strong>Westlake</strong> Plaza are covered in graffiti. Further, if one checks<br />

the sides and backs of buildings on North Fry, the presence<br />
of gangs is obvious. We have got to remove the welcome mat<br />
by insisting that graffiti be eradicated immediately. We will be<br />
providing ongoing information to our deputy regarding all of<br />
the above Nuisance Abatement issues in our subdivision. In<br />
order to maximize the use of our contract deputy dollars, your<br />
continued and expanded efforts to send me information on<br />
suspected Nuisance Abatement is most appreciated. Together<br />
we can clean up our neighborhoods.<br />
If we can emulate this model in <strong>Westlake</strong>, the Nuisance<br />
Abatement laws will continue to lower the expense for legal<br />
costs to the WCIA as well as end the problem much more<br />
quickly than civil action with its long process of the monthly<br />
neighborhood check by the management company, followed<br />
by a series of letters and finally, individual cases forwarded<br />
to the attorneys for more expensive letters plus a possible<br />
legal action which is also expensive, lengthy and payable<br />
from WCIA (your dues money) funds. Please keep in mind<br />
that the law firm and management company charge for every<br />
service provided. This is the nature of business. These people<br />
are not volunteers. A sizable portion of our budget will need<br />
to go to attorneys and to the management company for deed<br />
restriction violations if we cannot stay on top of nuisance<br />
abatement.<br />
We thank each one of you who reported a violation to our<br />
Contract coordinator. We encourage you to continue to do so;<br />
you will be improving the appearance of the neighborhood<br />
and enhancing the quality of life for each one of us. To report<br />
a suspected violation of the nuisance abatement code please<br />
email Annette Baldwin at info.<strong>Westlake</strong>@gmail.com. By<br />
working together we will reverse the degenerated look our<br />
neighborhood is projecting and enjoy a higher quality of life.<br />
TIME FOR OUTSIDE LAWN<br />
& STRUCTURE WORK<br />
The season is here for fertilizing grass, mowing, edging,<br />
cleaning up from the winter and enhancing the appearance of<br />
your home for the spring, summer and fall months. Now is the<br />
time to get started… before the heat becomes overwhelming.<br />
The covenants require that your gutters be in place, your<br />
house be properly painted, the roof be in good condition,<br />
the lawn mowed and the driveway, sideway and curb areas<br />
edged. While for most of us these requirements have always<br />
been a way of life, some folks are not used to the upkeep of<br />
a single family home with a yard. There is much information<br />
available at both Home Depot and Lowe’s regarding yards,<br />
gardens, gutters, painting, roofing, etc. These pamphlets are<br />
free. Employees can answer any questions you might have.<br />
We thank the majority of homeowners and residents who take<br />
care of their property and enhance the overall appearance of<br />
the neighborhood.<br />
OVERNIGHT COMMERCIAL TRUCK<br />
PARKING ILLEGAL IN SUBDIVISIONS<br />
By now you should have noticed the signs posted at each<br />
entrance to both <strong>Westlake</strong> and <strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> regarding the<br />
illegality of overnight commercial truck parking. Commercial<br />
vehicles are not allowed in the subdivision between 10 PM<br />
and 6 AM.<br />
6 April 2016<br />
<strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong>
Our deputy has personally contacted a number of commercial<br />
truck operators whose vehicles have been in the subdivision<br />
overnight or at 10 PM. All were warned of the law and told to<br />
remove these vehicles from the subdivision; each individual<br />
has complied. Those who do not comply are subject to<br />
citation, court appearance and serious fines.<br />
If a commercial truck is parked overnight within the subdivision,<br />
the Sheriff’s Department will begin issuing citations to the<br />
owner of the truck. In most cases, these trucks are not owned<br />
by the resident but by their employer. The fine is pretty hefty.<br />
If you drive a commercial vehicle, we suggest you make<br />
arrangements for overnight parking of that vehicle in a safe<br />
place outside the subdivisions. There are many options for<br />
parking the larger commercial vehicles. Monthly rent can be<br />
paid to several nearby storage facilities and you might even<br />
be able to park in a parking lot if you make arrangements with<br />
the operator of the shopping center.<br />
TEXAS PARKING LAW<br />
For those of you who unfamiliar with the parking laws in the<br />
state of Texas, here are the basics for your review. Due to<br />
requests from emergency services providers as well as<br />
continual complaints from neighbors, a crackdown on parking<br />
violations has resumed.<br />
• 30 Feet from stop sign<br />
• 20 Feet from cross walk<br />
• No more than 18” from curb - parallel to curb, front wheels<br />
turned toward curb, car locked<br />
• Park WITH the traffic direction<br />
• Vehicles parked in driveways cannot extend into the street<br />
• No more than 48 hours on a public street - sticker after 48<br />
hours/tow after additional 48 hours<br />
• No parking on the sidewalks (except where sidewalk crosses<br />
driveway)<br />
• 15 ft from fire hydrant<br />
• Cannot obstruct another’s driveway<br />

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

GARDENING TIPS FOR APRIL<br />
Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a<br />
great many pests that die from various causes while in the bag. When<br />
you buy ‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you are also<br />
buying ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little more on bagged<br />
material and save lots of future pest problems. Keep your mulch at<br />
least 4” - 6” below the top of your homes exposed foundation edge/<br />
side. This will aid in minimizing pests in your home and allow for<br />
quick and accurate termite inspections.<br />
Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least<br />
12” - 18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free<br />
zone that is 18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception is your<br />
lawn - it can grow up next to the slab as long as you keep it 4” - 6”<br />
below the top of the slab. The most conducive to termite infestation<br />
are groundcover plantings, growing high against your homes exterior<br />
or (especially) ivy that grows on your walls.<br />
Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray<br />
eliminates overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to<br />
resist the pest onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The<br />
fall spray also kills pests from the summer, prevents most fungi<br />
from occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset off to a<br />
healthy winter’s dormancy.<br />
Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop<br />
brown patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin<br />
and weak in some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a)<br />
lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control.<br />
Most important is proper watering:<br />
• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do<br />
not water.)<br />
• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage.<br />
• In severe drought, water every 5 th day.<br />
• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT.<br />
• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger<br />
and more drought resistant roots.<br />
• Less watering also saves you money!!<br />
