Lighter Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Ingredients:
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, minced
ground black pepper to taste
2 cups heavy cream
2 egg yolks
salt to taste
1 pound fettuccine
1 sprig chopped fresh parsley
2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
Directions: Combine chicken breasts and chicken broth in a saucepan
over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low;
simmer for 5 minutes. Turn breasts, cover and simmer another 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit with the cover on for 15 minutes.
Remove chicken breasts from the broth and set aside to cool, reserving
the broth in the saucepan. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle,
cut into bite-size slices. Return the chicken broth to medium heat and
cook until reduced to 1 cup. Stir garlic, black pepper and heavy cream
into the reduced broth; bring to a simmer and remove from heat.
Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth. Beat 1 tablespoon of the warm
cream mixture into the eggs until thoroughly incorporated; repeat until
about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture is used. Whisk the warm cream
and egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream
mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the
mixture almost comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5 minutes. Season
with salt and black pepper to taste.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine in
boiling water, stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through, about
7 minutes. Drain.
Stir parsley, 1 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano and cream mixture into the
pasta. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for a few minutes until thick.
Fold chicken and 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano into the pasta mixture to
serve.

CRIME REPORTING
Together as a community we must always be alert for both ourselves
and our neighbors. Please phone (713-221-6000) the sheriff for anything
suspicious; robbery, suspicious looking people, speeding, etc.
WASTE REMOVAL
Please remember not to place your garbage out any sooner than the
night before the scheduled pick-up day. After pick-up, all garbage cans
should be kept out of public view. They should not be kept in front of
garages, in the front yards of any home or on the side of any home. Please
make every effort to conceal the trashcans from public view on non-trash
days.
On a side note we should be putting all trash in bags and not directly in
bins as this creates a problem for everyone. Governors Place is our home
and we like to keep it nice. If you spot trash in the area, please pick it up
and to ensure our beautiful community stays as such.
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
Parking recreational vehicles in the community is a violation of the
governing rules and regulations. We understand this is the time of year
vacations and family visits are planned, so if you will take a moment to call
Crest Management at 281-579-0761 to notify us as to when you will have
your recreational vehicle(s) in the driveway, we will give you 1 to 2 days
grace period. We understand people have to live, that is why we want to
open the lines of communication. If we do not hear from you and your
vehicle(s) are noticed on our regular inspection, don’t get upset when
you receive a citation. Again, we will only allow parking of recreational
vehicles for a short period of 1 to 2 days.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES PARKING
Although the streets in Governors Place are public, we are receiving
numerous complaints regarding parking of personal vehicles and
commercial vehicles in the streets. The parking of COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
within the community is RESTRICTED in the governing documents and
fines will be assessed. Please try to utilize your driveways as much as
possible when parking your personal vehicles.

DEMOGRAPHERS PROJECT
CONTINUED GROWTH FOR KATY ISD
During its December Board meeting, Population and Survey Analysts
(PASA) presented its annual demographic update on Katy ISD enrollment
growth. According to the organization, the District is expected to see
nearly 100,000 students by 2029, making it the second fastest growth
school district in Texas.
While the District is currently 79% built out, PASA projects the majority of
enrollment growth is expected to take place in the northwest quadrant
of Katy ISD. Specifically, Katy High School and Paetow High School are
projected to be over enrollment capacity by the year 2023. The five
largest and fastest growing subdivisions in the northwest quadrant
include Elyson, Cane Island, Bridgeland, Camillo Lakes, Morton Creek
Ranch. Together, these growing subdivisions are expected to bring over
27,000 residents to the area within the next eight years.
Even with the growth projections spotlighting the northwest quadrant,
in other quadrants around the District, many campuses will see various
levels of enrollment growth. Cinco Ranch High School, for example, is
projected to see large enrollment numbers in 2020-2022.
Katy ISD works closely with PASA to determine attendance boundary
modifications needed as the district continues to grow at a rapid
pace. PASA indicated the District will need new campuses to address
overcapacity enrollment relief and to balance enrollment across the
District, especially in the predicted growth area of the northwest
quadrant.
KATY ISD MOVING FORWARD
WITH TWO SCHOOL BUS INITIATIVES
In December, the Katy Independent School District Board of Trustees
approved two transportation items that are focused on providing
safe, reliable transportation to the District. The Transportation Camera
Systems Upgrade, which was made possible by Katy ISD’s 2017 Bond,
will enhance the camera systems on every District bus to include eight
cameras located in the front, inside and back of the buses. In addition, to
help alleviate the bus driver shortage across the District, Trustees voted
to approve a contract for the 2020-2021 school year that will provide
funds to hire GoldStar Transit, a third party transportation provider, to
supplement districtwide driver personnel needs.
February 2020 | Governor’s Place

Assistant Superintendent of Operations, Ted Vierling, presented both
items. “The camera system upgrade will provide the latest in technology
and safety measures available in school bus transportation,” said Vierling.
“The system is capable of supplying video coverage of every seat
positioned in the school bus, while also monitoring the activity in nearly
every corner of the vehicle and bus stop locations,” he added.
Installation of the cameras began over the District’s Winter Break, with
all 330 regular buses and 241 special education buses anticipated to be
outfitted by the end of the 2019-2020 school year.
Katy ISD will also enter into an agreement with GoldStar Transit to provide
additional drivers as the District continues to struggle with personnel
recruitment amid the state- and nation-wide bus driver shortage. The new
agreement with GoldStar Transit, a Texas based transportation company, will
provide at least 40 bus routes, though remains tentative until new school and
enrollment routes are confirmed in Summer 2020. GoldStar Transit currently
provides services to a number of school districts, including Fort Bend ISD,
Bastrop ISD, Waco ISD and Navasota ISD. The company’s drivers will be
trained alongside Katy ISD bus drivers, while its buses will display Katy ISD
signage and have equipment on par with that of standard District buses.
Still, District officials have emphasized that recruiting and retaining inhouse
drivers remains its priority now and into the future. Katy ISD has
put a great deal of effort into increasing and maintaining its bus driver
pool, including recently raising hourly pay to $17.17/hour - a figure that
is competitive across the region, increasing perfect attendance and
recruitment bonuses, providing child care services at the rate of $2 a day
and conducting annual recruitment fairs.
KATY ISD EARNS AP® DISTRICT
HONOR ROLL FOR THE 8TH TIME
The College Board announced Katy Independent School District as one
of 250 school districts in the U.S. and Canada to be recognized by the
organization on the 10 th Annual AP® District Honor Roll for increasing
Advanced Placement (AP) course participation and scores. Katy ISD is one
of only 18 districts in Texas to earn this distinction.
More than 4,000 colleges and universities around the world accept AP
scores for college credit, advanced placement and/or consideration in the
admissions process. To be included on the 10 th Annual AP District Honor
Roll, the committee reviews three years of data, student participation
and student scores on AP Exams.
Additional requirements to be eligible for the 10 th Annual AP District
Honor Roll, participating districts must:
• Increase participation/access to AP course work by at least 4 percent
in large districts, at least 6 percent in medium districts and at least 11
percent in small districts.
• Increase or maintain the percentage of exams taken by Black/African
American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian/Alaska Native and Native
Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students who scored a 3 or higher on at
least one AP exam.
• Improve or maintain performance levels when comparing the
percentage of students in 2018 scoring a three (3) or higher to those
in 2016, unless the district has already attained a performance level at
which more than 70 percent of its AP students are scoring a 3 or higher.
In 2019, Katy ISD was also named the College Board’s AP Large District
of the Year for being the nation’s leader among large school districts in
simultaneously expanding access to Advanced Placement Program® (AP)
courses and improving students’ performance on AP Exams.
Founded in 1919, Katy ISD recently celebrated a century of learning as a leader
in educational excellence. The District maintains more than 66 campuses and
facilities and serves 83,000+ students. Recently, Katy ISD earned an “A” overall
district rating from the Texas Education Agency and an “A” from the Texas
Schools Financial Accountability Rating System of Texas (FIRST).
