ANNUAL HOA FEES DUE<br />
The Board was able to avoid raising dues for <strong>2020</strong> and the annual<br />
statement has been mailed to all homeowners. The dues should be paid<br />
in January. If you anticipate not being able to pay your <strong>Westgate</strong> fees for<br />
<strong>2020</strong> on time, be sure to call Inframark (281-870-0585) to discuss getting<br />
on a payment plan before more fees are tacked on-from the attorney,<br />
etc. $635 can turn into $1,000+ very quickly. Even if you don’t think<br />
you can pay all at once, you need to call Inframark to make payment<br />
arrangements; DON’T WAIT and cost yourself MORE money.<br />
These dues help pay for landscaping, electricity, water, refurbishing and<br />
adding amenities and pool management, among other things. It helps<br />
<strong>Westgate</strong> continue to be a great community with stable or increasing<br />
property values. If you’d ever like details of how your dues are spent,<br />
you can always ask our management company. Also, go to our annual<br />
meeting and you will receive a copy of the financials.<br />
DEADLINE FOR HOA BOARD ELECTION IN MARCH<br />

currently. If you are a <strong>Westgate</strong> homeowner and you’d like to run for this<br />
position, you MUST SUBMIT your INTENT TO RUN BY Monday, <strong>February</strong><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<br />
to let the deputy know that <strong>Westgate</strong> has a contract with the Sheriff’s<br />
Dept. through our MUD district (Harris County MUD #70). That way,<br />
the incident will be reported to our contract deputies, giving them<br />
information on what to look for in our community. Also, be sure to report<br />
the issue to our Crime Watch committee at crimewatch@westgatetx.net.<br />
They discuss the problems with our deputies as well.<br />
WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CALL<br />
THE NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER<br />
Please call the non-emergency number, 713-221-6000, when you see<br />
suspicious activity. A couple of recent calls have resulted in getting a<br />
couple felons off our streets. When an incident happens - suspicious<br />
person or vehicle, someone rifles through your car, etc - call the nonemergency<br />
number whether anything was taken or not, whether<br />
damage was done or not.<br />
Our contract officer spoke to some residents while he was responding<br />
to a call. They informed him that they did share info on social media but<br />
didn’t call HCSO. HCSO is not monitoring Social media.<br />
HCSO put their non-contract officers where there are problems. No calls<br />
= no problems. One call a week or so does not prompt a concern. But if<br />
everyone who posted on social media called it in, it would be, then HCSO<br />
would be justified in allocating more resources in our area to combat<br />
crime: 713-221-6000.<br />
STREETLIGHT OUTAGES<br />
If you see a streetlight out, please report outages to CenterPoint Energy<br />
at 713-207-2222 or 800-332-7143; also, at www.centerpointenergy.com.<br />
You will need the pole number, the black and white numbers listed<br />
vertically on the pole, to report the outage. This is something you can<br />
do to help keep your community safe. Otherwise, it may take a while for<br />
Centerpoint to notice it is out.<br />

COOKIES POWER AMAZING ADVENTURES FOR GIRLS<br />
When you buy a box of delicious Girl Scout Cookies, you’re powering<br />
amazing, year-round experiences for every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter,<br />

sells them-that’s right, proceeds stay local and are reinvested in girls!<br />
Big picture: as a cookie customer, you’re actually helping the next<br />
generation of female entrepreneurs get an important taste of<br />
what it takes to be successful-teamwork, planning and a positive<br />

awesome is that?<br />

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