Important Information<br />

President’s Letter<br />

We’re in the heat of summer and things have been busy in <strong>Westgate</strong>.<br />

Thanks to residents’ help, we were able to change pool companies to<br />

get better service. Thank you to all the residents who kept the Board<br />

apprised of the situation while at the pool. Board members visited the<br />

pool daily to keep an eye on things as well. Consequently, we were able<br />

to prove that the original company was not servicing our pool well and<br />

therefore, we contracted a new company to take over.<br />

Forced Mow Policy Change<br />

<strong>Westgate</strong>, like most communities, has a forced mow policy; in other<br />

words, if a lawn is severely unsightly, <strong>Westgate</strong> contracts landscapers<br />

to mow the property after giving 10 days for the owner to take care of<br />

it. Now, when the landscapers come to mow because the owner has<br />

not, if the owner turns them away, then the owner will immediately<br />

be assessed a fine of $50. Luckily, we don’t have to use this very often,<br />

but this policy change helps keep <strong>Westgate</strong>’s curb appeal up, which is<br />

especially important in the spring and summer months when many<br />

people are selling their houses and have prospective buyers driving<br />

through the neighborhood.<br />

Splashpad and Pool Season<br />

The pool will be open Tuesday through Sunday during through <strong>August</strong>,<br />

then weekends again in September. The splashpad will be open spring<br />

break through October, depending on weather.<br />

Last year, we installed gate access cards to enter the pool and splashpad.<br />

If you received your card last year, you should use the same card. If you<br />

need to replace yours, you must fill out the form, which you can get by<br />

calling Inframark or downloading it from our website (www.westgatetx.<br />

net). Send the form to Inframark and they will send you the access card.<br />

You may have noticed better lighting at our big park. That’s because<br />

we have new lights that went up in July. These new lights have better<br />

coverage and are sturdier. We also had the gazebo repainted. We are<br />

working to get fence repairs done on our perimeter fencing. And of<br />

course, it wouldn’t be summer without multiple sprinkler repairs!<br />

Speaking of new companies, we welcome Yellowstone landscapers to<br />

our community. We are excited to see what they can do to spruce up our<br />

landscaping. They also have an arborist that we have met with regarding<br />

care of our maturing trees.<br />

Finally, we are looking at replacing our next playground on Heathridge<br />

and <strong>Westgate</strong> Park Dr., this one will likely be for the smaller kids. We’re<br />

also looking at what other equipment we can add at the big park. These<br />

projects will be spread out over two year budgets: one will be done at<br />

the end of this year and one at the beginning of next year; thus spreading<br />

out the cost.<br />

If you have any questions or suggestions, please email the Board at<br />

board@westgatetx.net. We would always love to see you at the Board<br />

meetings on the fourth Thursday of each month at the Richard and Meg<br />

Weekley Center starting at 6:30 PM.<br />

Best Regards,<br />

Kimberly McGaughy<br />

President,<br />

<strong>Westgate</strong> HOA Board of Directors<br />

Kimberly@westgatetx.net<br />

4<br />

• Keep this card as long as you are a resident in <strong>Westgate</strong>. We will not be<br />

replacing them every year like we did the pool tags.<br />

• The first card is free. Any subsequent cards must be purchased. Up to<br />

two cards per house.<br />

• Each household can bring up to six people to the pool. It does not<br />

matter how many cards you have.<br />

• Tenants must get the card through their landlord.<br />

Join Us For<br />

National<br />

Night Out!<br />

Submitted by <strong>Westgate</strong> resident and<br />

realtor Tim Bogott<br />

National Night Out is an annual<br />

community-building campaign<br />

that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood<br />

camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer and more caring<br />

places to live. The <strong>Westgate</strong> Crime Watch Committee will be hosting a<br />

Neighborhood Party at the main park on Tuesday, October 2 nd from 7<br />

to 9 PM. The main park is located at the corner of <strong>Westgate</strong> Park Dr. and<br />

Kenmark Lane.<br />

We are asking you to gather up your families, lock your doors, turn on<br />

your lights and spend a fun filled evening outside with your neighbors.<br />

The <strong>Westgate</strong> HOA will be providing food trucks and activities for the kids.<br />

Local police agencies will be joining and hopefully, a shredding truck will<br />

be on hand for those documents too sensitive to be thrown in the trash.<br />

Stephanie Peters’ and Tim Bogott’s company will be supporting National<br />

Night Out by:<br />

• Partnering with Reliant Security to discuss home security systems.<br />

• Sponsoring a bounce house for the kids.<br />

• Serving a delicious dessert for everyone’s enjoyment.<br />

We look forward to seeing you there!<br />

Thanks for the Block Party and Freedom Fest!<br />

We had a great Welcome to Summer Block Party at the beginning of June thanks to our resident food truck expert Lena Lindsay. What a wonderful<br />

way to start the summer! We had a DJ and summer contests like water balloon toss and sack races. And of course, great food from Skye Café and our<br />

snowcone guy, Sneaux Balls.<br />

Even though the weather tried to rain out our July 4 th celebration, Freedom Fest could not be stopped. We still had three food trucks, face painting,<br />

Silly Selfie’s booth, fire trucks and a great fireworks show. Thanks to Alexia Thorton-Moore for leading this event. Mike and Nicole Gerrard, Kent and<br />

Kimberly McGaughy, Josh Moore and Gina Pirie helped as well. Two of the food trucks were <strong>Westgate</strong> residents, Skye Cafe and Harbor’s Cajun Station.<br />

Do You Know Your Deed Restrictions?<br />

In an effort to educate our residents, each month we highlight some deed<br />

restriction or other item that needs improvement in <strong>Westgate</strong>:<br />

PARKING AND PROHIBITED VEHICLES: According to our Declarations of<br />

Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements, pg. 12-13, cars etc.<br />

must be IN WORKING ORDER, have current stickers etc. and are in daily<br />

use. Vehicles like a “boat, trailer… recreational vehicle” cannot be stored<br />

on your lot unless it is concealed; a TEMPORARY permit can be issued for<br />

certain situations.<br />

Regarding parking, vehicles MUST NOT “BLOCK A SIDEWALK.” Also, “NO<br />

MORE THAN THREE VEHICLES… may be parked on the driveway.”<br />

Any repair work to vehicles that is visible to the street MUST BE<br />

COMPLETED WITHIN 12 HOURS AND NOT OCCUR ON A FREQUENT/<br />

REGULAR BASIS, so as to prevent disorderly and unkempt appearance<br />

in <strong>Westgate</strong>.<br />

IMPORTANT NOTE: It’s been reported in some sections that residents are<br />

parking on BOTH sides of the street. While I understand the difficulties of<br />

where to park, parking on both sides of the street CREATES A DANGEROUS<br />

SITUATION. Emergency vehicles cannot pass through to save a life! If it<br />

is creating a street hazard, call the nonemergency Sheriff’s number 713-<br />

221-6000. PLEASE, when parking on the street, stagger your vehicles so<br />

they are NOT PARKED DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE on the<br />

other side of the street!<br />

Following these instructions helps keep our neighborhood looking neat<br />

and thus keeps up our property values, as well as helping keep <strong>Westgate</strong><br />

safe. Let’s be considerate of our neighbors!<br />

COPIES OF ALL WESTGATE FOUNDING DOCUMENTS (including the ARC<br />

form) can be downloaded from the <strong>Westgate</strong> website www.westgatetx.<br />

net. They are located under the HOA tab.<br />

Procedure When Filing a Report<br />

with the Sheriff’s Dept.<br />

If you ever have to file a report with the Sheriff’s Department, whether<br />

after calling 911 or the nonemergency number (713-221-6000), be sure to<br />

let the deputy know that <strong>Westgate</strong> has a contract with the Sheriff’s Dept.<br />

through our MUD district (Harris County MUD #70). That way, the incident<br />

will be reported to our contract deputies, giving them information on<br />

what to look for in our community. Also, be sure to report the issue to our<br />

Crime Watch committee at crimewatch@westgatetx.net. They discuss<br />

the problems with our deputies as well.<br />

Recommended Tradespeople List on<br />

the <strong>Westgate</strong> Facebook Page<br />

Have you ever needed to call someone for repairs or to have work done,<br />

but you didn’t want to just pick someone out of the yellow pages? Well,<br />

we’ve begun a document that is our neighborhood’s personal “Angie’s<br />

List:” “Recommended Tradespeople And Businesses.” All people and<br />

businesses listed on it are recommended by people in <strong>Westgate</strong> who<br />

have had personal experiences with them.<br />

We also have a list for businesses actually owned by <strong>Westgate</strong> residents<br />

called “<strong>Westgate</strong> Residents who provide Services.” If you are a resident<br />

who owns a business, provide a description of your services, price range,<br />

history of your business, etc. Support your neighbors by checking it out;<br />

you might find what you need very close to home!<br />

To access the documents, go to www.facebook.com and search for<br />

“<strong>Westgate</strong> Subdivision.” Look at the top of the page under “Files” and<br />

you’ll see them there! Add yours to the list!<br />

for students needing additional assistance in math and reading.<br />

“Dr. Mark Henry is well respected by his colleagues, staff and community<br />

and serves as a courageous voice for students and for public education,”<br />

said Dr. Pam Wells, Region 4 Education Service Center executive director.<br />

“The district’s successes reflect his personal and passionate belief that<br />

the mission of public schools is to provide equality of opportunity for all<br />

students. We congratulate Dr. Henry for this well-deserved recognition and<br />

wish him the best in his nomination for Texas Superintendent of the Year.”<br />

A Message From The Cfisd<br />

Superintendent<br />

Dear Parents & Guardians,<br />

As promised in a message I sent toward the end of the school year, our<br />

district safety and security committee has already begun meeting to plan<br />

for the <strong>2018</strong>-2019 school year.<br />

In an effort to improve the safety measures currently in place, one of the<br />

decisions that came out of our meetings is to require all high school and<br />

middle school students to use clear backpacks beginning in the fall.<br />

Band and athletic bags, as well as drill and cheer team bags, will still be<br />

permitted.<br />

Additionally, the maximum purse size permitted in grades 6-12 will be<br />

6” x 9.”<br />

Elementary school students will be allowed to continue using traditional<br />

backpacks.<br />

Listed below are the details about these new policies and can also be<br />

found on a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page on our district website.<br />

We are living in a difficult time requiring difficult decisions from school<br />

<strong>August</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>Westgate</strong>


districts. While these changes present an inconvenience to our students<br />

and parents, we must continue to be vigilant to protect the safety of our<br />

students and staff.<br />

The safety and security committee will continue to meet throughout<br />

the summer. Further plans and decisions will be communicated to the<br />

community as soon as possible.<br />

Have a great summer!<br />

Sincerely, Mark Henry, Ed.D.<br />

Superintendent of schools<br />

generating events for the City of Galveston. This year over 60 teams have their<br />

judging of the sculptures is rated on originality of concept, artistic execution,<br />

technical difficulty, carving technique and utilization of the site. In addition<br />

Through <strong>August</strong> 26 th - “The Faces of Syrian Refugees,” by photographer<br />

Michael S Cohen, consists of life sized color portraits accompanied by Proust<br />

questionnaire style interviews, offering an intimate visit with 20 Syrian<br />

refugees. The exhibition will also include a special feature of Houston-area<br />

Holocaust survivors Naomi Warren, Lea Weems, Ruth Steinfeld, Anna and<br />

Emil Steinberger, Bill Orlin and Renee Danziger, who thrived after being<br />

one-time refugees in America. After a 25-year hiatus, Cohen worked with a<br />

dozen non-profits in fields ranging from education, to felon rehabilitation<br />

in inner city youth. During this time, he watched with horror as a Syrian<br />

war escalated and the refugee crisis reached unimaginable proportions.<br />

An idea formed to travel and meet successfully resettled Syrian refugees,<br />

photograph and interview them. Since the war began in 2011, millions<br />

of Syrians have been displaced from their homes, and their country. The<br />

subjects come from all walks of life and now are engaged in everything from<br />

teaching art classes to volunteering as museum docents to conducting a<br />

Syrian expat orchestra. During the atrocities of WWII, Holocaust survivors<br />

were uprooted from their homelands and resettled in other countries. More<br />

than one half of all European Jews perished by the end of WWII; many who<br />

survived picked up the pieces of their shattered lives and moved forward. A<br />

special feature will be included in this exhibition depicting the images and<br />

stories of several local Holocaust survivors upon their arrival in Houston<br />

prior to 1955 and how they worked hard to achieve the American dream.<br />

The exhibition is on view through Sunday, <strong>August</strong> 26, <strong>2018</strong>, in the Mincberg<br />

Gallery. This exhibition is traveled by Art2Art Circulating Exhibitions.<br />

You will have areas of thin and/or dead<br />

turf where they weren’t brought under<br />

control. There is a new generation going<br />

now. This batch causes the most damage.<br />

Use Dursban to stop the damage.<br />

• Until the weather gets back to the 80’s, St.<br />

<strong>August</strong>ine grass grows slowly. If you fill in<br />

with sod, don’t expect a fast turnaround.<br />

The sod may look like it’s not growing<br />

while it puts down roots. You will need to<br />

water the new sod often and deeply to get<br />

it started but this also creates a disease<br />

environment. Water early so the sun can<br />

dry the turf.<br />

• Now is a good time to work new beds. Till<br />

them up, add organic material, mix it in,<br />

then let them cure for a month or so. Add<br />

in any amendments like micro-nutrients.<br />

Keep the beds moist so the microorganisms<br />

have a favorable environment.<br />
