<strong>West</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> | <strong>August</strong> <strong>2019</strong> 3<br />

MEMBER<br />

Greater Houston


<strong>West</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> Tiger Sharks<br />

<strong>West</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> Tiger Sharks finished out their swim season with a win in their division this year. The team was undefeated and took home the trophy<br />

for their division. Please congratulate any team members you see for a great season. Well done.<br />

Let’s talk about it….<br />

The <strong>West</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> Civic Association has a duty to enforce neighborhood<br />

regulations. These typically include violations of deed restrictions,<br />

collection of annual assessments and related fees. The HOA Board’s<br />

authority is established in state law for the purpose of maintaining<br />

property values and quality of life. Enforcement proceeds along a defined<br />

path that, to be fair, must be consistently applied. The process often<br />

begins with a letter to the homeowner explaining the violation, which if<br />

ignored, may eventually end up in a lawsuit. Fortunately, most violations<br />

are resolved quickly following receipt of a letter. In rare circumstances the<br />

Board sends the matter to its attorneys. The attorneys’ first objective is to<br />

negotiate a settlement. Failing that, the Board must consider a lawsuit.<br />

The Board positively hates to involve attorneys because its objective is<br />

compliance not penalty. The attorney path is costly and slow and the fees<br />

must eventually be collected from the homeowner, our neighbors. While a<br />

case is pending the problem is not going away. The Board is eager to meet<br />

with homeowners to negotiate a compliance plan but that process must be<br />

initiated by the homeowner. A reasonable solution can usually be agreed,<br />

especially when illness, loss of employment or other calamity is involved. The<br />

Board meetings are held on the 4 th Tuesday of each month (excluding May &<br />

December) beginning at 7 PM at the community clubhouse on Kingsland Blvd.<br />

Home Improvements<br />

Please remember that any exterior change to your home requires approval<br />

from the Homeowners Association prior to performing the improvement<br />

and/or addition. You can find the governing rules and application process<br />

on the Association website at www.westmemorial.org or by contacting<br />

management at thenderson@highsierramanagement.com.<br />

Bus Driving Parents will have the opportunity to further their role in their<br />

student’s education and drive their student’s school on field trips. BDP’s<br />

will be vetted and trained through Katy ISD, as well as be compensated for<br />

the time they drive. Once they’ve earned their Commercial Driver’s License<br />

(CDL), completed training and earned driving hours, BDP’s will be able to<br />

drive students to field trips as often as they want. While the training upfront<br />

can take time, Bus Driving Parents will help to provide an incredible service<br />

to the district and expand learning experiences for students. To apply and<br />

TWENTY-FOUR KATY ISD SCHOOLS EARN<br />

TEXAS HONOR ROLL DISTINCTION<br />

What better way for Katy Independent School District to end the 2018-<br />

19 school year! Out of its 65 campuses, Katy ISD is proud to announce<br />

that 24 of its schools were named a Texas Honor Roll School by the<br />

Educational Results Partnership (ERP).<br />

The 2018-19 Texas Honor Roll includes:<br />

Elementary: Alexander, Creech, Griffin, Holland, Kilpatrick, Randolph,<br />

Shafer, Stanley, Williams, Wilson and Wolman.<br />

Junior High: Beck, Beckendorff, Katy, McMeans, <strong>Memorial</strong> Parkway,<br />

Seven Lakes, Tays and WoodCreek.<br />

High School: Cinco Ranch, Mayde Creek, Seven Lakes, Taylor and<br />

Tompkins.<br />

After an extensive analysis of student data, ERP found that these Katy ISD<br />

schools were clear leaders in getting students to grade level and beyond.<br />

The 2018-19 Texas Honor Roll recognizes public elementary, middle<br />

and high schools that consistently demonstrate high levels of student<br />

academic achievement, improvement in student outcomes over time and<br />

a closing of the achievement gaps. For high schools, the Texas Honor Roll<br />

recognition includes measures of college readiness. This year, the program<br />

recognized 855 higher performing schools across the state. These schools<br />

become an accepted example to other school districts seeking to learn<br />

and replicate the best practices employed at these campuses. Katy ISD<br />

schools will be provided with a banner to display at their campus.<br />

‘Unique opportunity,’ ‘educational,’ ‘great networking event,’ ‘fun,’ ‘wellorganized,’<br />

‘a success,’ ‘informative’… not a bad list of descriptions for<br />

any event! And, yet, those were some of the comments from participants<br />

about the first Katy Area Chamber of Commerce Business to Business<br />

(B2B) Expo, an event that featured 43 exhibitors and 200 attendees.<br />

Home is where the heart is.<br />

Not to mention all your stuff.<br />

Thanks to its success, the Katy Chamber’s B2B Expo probably will land on<br />

the radar for many businesses looking to grow, network and learn about<br />

Katy area businesses. The B2B Expo was held May 16 th at the Wyndham<br />

Houston <strong>West</strong> - Energy Corridor and organized by Chamber Board of<br />

Directors Margaret Laney and Cristy Fontanilla. The expo included an array<br />

of companies, products and services such as lending facilities, hospitals,<br />

jewelers, the Katy YMCAs, internet companies, graphic designers, storage<br />

facilities, marketers, restaurants, higher education, non-profits and many<br />

more. Attendees could visit business exhibits to network, make connections<br />

and learn how the products/services can assist their own businesses.<br />

The event also featured an information-packed luncheon that provided<br />

valuable intelligence on access to capital issues (provided by the US Small<br />

Business Association) and procurement/purchasing tips from a panel featuring<br />

some the area’s largest employers: Katy ISD, BP, Houston Community College<br />

and Houston Methodist <strong>West</strong> Hospital. All told, the four-hour B2B Expo/<br />

luncheon seemed to provide the right balance of networking and information.<br />
