FEBRUARY MEETING OF WESTLAKE CIA
The Westlake CIA will hold its monthly meeting on Tuesday, February
18, 2020, at 7 PM at the Civic Center located at the corner of Franz Road
and Creek Meadow in Westlake Forest. Homeowners are invited to attend
the Board meeting and then to participate in the Homeowners Forum,
which usually is held at about 7:30 PM.
An executive meeting will be held on Monday, February 17, 2020, at
the Civic Center. If you would like to visit privately with the Board at the
executive meeting, please contact Annette Baldwin or Kimberly Gugel.
Phone numbers are in this newsletter inside the back page.
FINES ACCRUING FOR
PAST DUE HOMEOWNERS DUES
All Homeowners’ Association Dues are past due as of January 31, 2020.
If you have not paid your dues in a timely fashion, the amount you owe
just increased.
Additional late fees are charged each month until the invoice is paid. If
you want to pay your 2020 dues in arrears in contract payments, please
contact Inframark through Town Square, by phone or through their
website to make arrangements for a contract to be drawn. The contract
requires that you pay the accounting costs and setup costs associated
with the arrangement in addition to your dues. This is offered as a
courtesy to our homeowners and failure to meet the lowered monthly
payments in the specified time frame will eliminate the possibility of
future contracts. Defaulting on a contract is serious.
Those would like to pay their 2021 dues in advance throughout the year
of 2020, may do so through Town Square or by contacting Inframark
Accounts Receivable Department to let them know what you are paying.
There is no extra charge for this service.
TOWN SQUARE MAKES IT EASY TO GET
INFORMATION, MAKE PAYMENTS AND FILE ACC
Get timely information in an email blast about your community, pay your
dues online, complete ACC forms online and join in the forums on Town
Square. This easy to use app is catching on with the tech-savvy and the not
so tech-savvy just because of the convenience and information it offers.
To sign up for the Town Square, go to: townsuqare.nabrnetwork.com. The
sign-up process is straightforward, but if you want some assistance, Live
Chat is at the bottom of the Home Page.
Sign up today for timely reminders of events, special emergency blasts,
easy access to your account and the ease of handling everything for your
home and neighborhood through one portal!
ASK THE BOARD
If you have questions for the Board and are unable to come to a meeting,
please email these questions to info.westlake@gmail.com. Questions
relating to deed restrictions, availability of amenities, etc., are most
welcome. In addition, information sharing is also encouraged through
this email. Timely reporting of suspicious on-going activity is critical to
stopping crime before it starts. Do not send calls for a deputy to this
email. Call 9-1-1 or 713-221-6000.
FILE ACC BEFORE MAKING MAJOR
CHANGES IN YOUR HOME
All owners are required to file an ACC document when changing the
paint, roof or altering the exterior of the home or any changes that can be
seen from the street in any way. This form can be found on our website:
www.westlakecia.org. Major changes that are initiated prior to filing an
ACC form will be challenged in a court of law.
You can also file an ACC form through Town Square. Simply sign in and
complete the form and the ACC committee will review it expeditiously.

HOLIDAY & CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
MUST BE REMOVED BY JANUARY 31ST
We thank all who participated in the holiday and Christmas decorating
contest. Your efforts helped to bring much joy to our neighborhood.
Please remember that all Christmas and holiday decorations must have
been removed from the exterior of your home by January 31, 2020.
Please remove all holiday lights and decorations now.
NUISANCE ABATEMENT ENFORCEMENT
CONTINUES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has an overall Nuisance Abatement
program for neighborhoods, such as ours, which have suffered from
severe neglect during the sub-prime foreclosure crisis. Empty homes with
junk and clutter in the front and back yards, eyesores for the community,
inoperable vehicles, health and safety hazards… these and much more
are addressed under Texas law as it applies to Nuisance Abatements in
the Traffic Code and the Health and Safety code.
All contract units are trained in every Nuisance Abatement law on the
books. Each law will be enforced quickly. Once again, we are putting a
burden on the Sheriff’s Office that rightfully belongs on other agencies
and the homeowners’ associations, but this is the most expeditious way
of solving the many problems we are seeing in both Westlake Forest and
Westlake.
So, if you know of a home that is abandoned, has a junk vehicle in the
driveway or street, trash, debris, high grass, a dangerous swimming pool,
etc., please email Annette Baldwin at info.westlake@gmail.com or call her
at 281-578-9118. She will forward the information to our deputy or the
district nuisance abatement deputy who will act on it immediately.
This program began in 2011 following the training of all deputies. New
deputies who bid into contracts are trained in Nuisance Abatement prior
to their new assignment.
The vehicle Nuisance Abatement and parking code are enforced in an
ongoing policy for Westlake and Westlake Forest. The health and safety
laws will supplement that for further improvement in our neighborhoods.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with the Harris County
Health Department and the County Attorney in an effort to clean up
these problems. We currently have one home on the “unfit for human
habitation” list, which will eventually be in court and several others in
various stages of the process. This law is strictly enforced.
WARN YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT
SURFACE WATER IN BAYOUS & SPILLWAYS
Please warn your children not to swim in any surface water bayous or
spillways in Harris County. Most MUD districts dump “gray water” into
the surface water of Harris County. “Gray water” is partially processed
wastewater from sewers and contains lots of bacteria. Recently we have
seen younger children wading in the spillways and teenagers in the
waters of the bayous. In addition to the bacteria, our bayous are home to
a number of animals such as alligators and snakes.
Just to be safe, have a conversation with your children about our
waterways.
CALL IT IN… CALL IT IN
A quick review of our calls for service in 2019, has demonstrated that our
residents are not calling the Sheriff’s Office on suspicious persons and
suspicious vehicles as well as crimes such as burglary of a motor vehicle,
etc.
If you don’t call to report a crime or suspected criminal activity in progress
or suspicious persons or vehicles, no arrests will be made, the crime or
criminal activity will continue and the Sheriff’s Office will not know that
February 2020 | Westlake/Westlake Forest

Westlake/Westlake Forest | February 2020 5

anything is going on. Yes, we have those rare occasions where a deputy,
by pure luck, drives up on a crime or suspicious activity in progress. But
why rely on luck when you have a telephone? The number to call is 713-
221-6000. This is the phone number for the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
If there is an emergency, call 9-1-1. We live in HARRIS County. If you would
like a magnet for your refrigerator so that both these numbers are readily
available to you, stop at the Franz Road Fry Store Front and pick one up.
Do NOT call the Franz Road Store Front for a deputy or in an emergency.
These deputies are with the Crime Prevention Bureau. The phones are
answered during weekdays only. You can go to the Store Front to file a
minor report such as the theft of a bicycle or to pick up information or
complete a Vacation Watch form. However, this office does not dispatch
deputies.
THE PERFECT PAIR: CARS AND GARAGE
While parking on the street and in the driveway is legal, it is amazing how
many people do not use their garages for vehicle parking. If your garage
is full of junk, this might be the time to clean it out, throw it away or put
it in the attic.
If you must park on your driveway, please remember to lock your vehicle.
Before leaving your vehicle, take out items that might attract a criminal
(major or minor) such as CDs, tapes, computers, cell phones, cash, credit
cards, bags containing unknown items and anything that might attract a
crime of opportunity. If you leave items in your vehicle and your vehicle
is unlocked, don’t be surprised if your property is missing the next day.
Recently, we have reports of catalytic converters, wheels and tailgates
of pickups being stolen from various vehicles parked both on the street
and in driveways. All of these are expensive replacements, minimally
requiring a deductible payment on vehicle insurance and often raising
your rates with a claim. It would seem wiser to empty the garage and
park the cars there overnight.
PARKING LAWS MEANT
TO INCREASE SAFETY
Once again, we are asking you to please be considerate of your neighbors
and the emergency personnel who risk their lives for us. Fire engines and
ambulances often cannot squeeze down some of our streets when cars
and trucks are parked on the street. Park cars in your garage and on your
driveway. Always lock cars parked on your driveway and make sure you
have removed “attractive valuables” from them. Since the largest homes
in our subdivisions have four bedrooms, there is really no reason for more
than four cars per house… two in the garage and two in the driveway.
Guests can park on the street, but they need to be very aware of the
parking laws in Texas. Due to the continuing upswing in street parking,
the following Parking Laws of the state of Texas will be enforced to the
letter:
1. Park no closer than 30 feet from a stop sign
2. Park no closer than 20 feet from a cross walk
3. Park no closer than 15 feet from a fire hydrant
4. Park no farther from the curb than 18”
5. Cars parked on the street must be locked
6. Park with the flow of traffic
7. Vehicles parked on the street must have a valid and current registration
and inspection sticker and be in operable condition
8. Parking for more than 48 hours on the street is a violation that can
result in towing
9. Do not obstruct the driveways of others with your vehicle
10. Double parking will result in immediate citation and possible towing
These laws are not designed for a neat appearance and for the safety of
the public. The life you save might just be your own. And many citations
have been written over the past six months; citations will be written to
any vehicle that is illegally parked.

TREE PLANTING TIME
January and February are excellent times to plant trees and shrubbery
in the Houston area. The temperatures are chilly to moderate and the
trees and shrubbery are given the best possible start on life. If you are
considering adding to your landscaping, we recommend that you choose
one of these two months to do it. Your money will be well spent.

SCOUTS
Congratulations to a
New Eagle scout
William Hummeldorf, a sophomore at Tompkins High School in Katy,
Texas, completed his Eagle Project at Manford Williams Elementary
in Lamar CISD this month. William has been in the Boy Scout program
since Kindergarten and is about to earn the highest rank possible. He
is currently a Life Scout with BSA Troop 1103. He named his project the
Rainbow Room. His Rainbow Room is a sensory room for elementary
students with special needs. He wanted to provide a place for students
to go when they feel over stimulated or overwhelmed. William is very
passionate about this project because he, too, is on the autism spectrum
and utilized a Rainbow Room in his preschool. William’s Rainbow room
has a ball pit (made by Troop 1103), a punching bag, crash pad, teepee
with weighted blanket and body sock, as well as a comfy bean bag chair
with Optical LED lights surrounding it. William also provided a laptop with
calming music already downloaded as well as a diffuser for aromatherapy
and projector shining lights on the ceiling. The room is a tiny wonderland
for kids who need it. William raised the money from family and friends,
created a budget, built and assembled the items with help from fellow
scouts and installed everything one weekend in December. William
hopes the idea of his Rainbow Room will spread to other schools.

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 | Westlake/Westlake Forest

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).

Spaghetti Squash
DIRECTIONS:
1. To start, cut your squash in half lengthwise. This is definitely the
hardest part of making spaghetti squash, but with a sharp chef’s
knife and some determination you’ll do just fine.
2. Remove the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and
season with salt and pepper. Flip the squash cut-side down on
a baking sheet.
3. Pop it in a 400°F oven for 40 minutes. Depending on the size of
your squash, this could take more like an hour. If 40 minutes have
passed and you’re not sure if the squash is ready, pull it out of
the oven and drag the tines of a fork on the cut side. If spaghettilike
strands easily release from the skin, it’s ready. If not, continue
baking and check on it every 5 to 10 minutes. Over-roasting can
lead to soggier “spaghetti,” so it’s best to keep a close eye on the
squash.
4. Shred it! When it’s ready, let cool slightly before creating
“spaghetti” with your fork.
Top with spaghetti sauce or for an even healthier and lower
calorie option, go with a marinara sauce.
