<strong>Falcon</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong> | <strong>December</strong> <strong>2020</strong> 3


HOA BOARD MEETINGS<br />

Many of our <strong>Falcon</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong> Homeowners have requested we move our<br />

<strong>Falcon</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong> HOA Meetings to a different night, other than the fourth<br />

Wednesday of the month. By popular demand, we moved our HOA<br />

Board Meetings, to the fourth Tuesday of the month, starting in June<br />

2018. The starting time of our HOA Meetings will still be at 6:30 PM. The<br />

HOA Board Members and the Management from Spectrum Association<br />

Management respect the wishes of our <strong>Falcon</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong> Homeowners.<br />

FALCON RANCH LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE<br />

VOLUNTEERS WANTED<br />

Mary Beth Jones, the New Landscape Committee Chairperson for <strong>Falcon</strong><br />

<strong>Ranch</strong>, is looking for volunteers to help on the Landscape Committee.<br />

You may contact her at 630-699-8272.<br />

CONTACT INFO<br />

If you want to contact the Board, send an email to board@falconranchhoa.<br />

com. To contact the management company, call 281-343-9178 between<br />

9 AM-5 PM.<br />

FALCON RANCH NEWS<br />

If you need assistance or know of a neighbor who may, please contact<br />

Mary Beth Jones at 630-699-8272 or Rudy Reyes at 713-598-2967.<br />

Trash and Recycling is collected every Tuesday and Trash only on Friday.<br />

Please remember, to bring in your Trash cans the evening of Pick Up. This<br />

is an easy way to make our Community look fresh and appealing.<br />

If you mow your lawn after trash has been picked up, please keep the bag<br />

of grass clippings in your garage until Trash Pickup Day. Again, an easy<br />

way to improve the appearance of our Community.<br />

If you must park on the street, please make sure you are not parked<br />

directly behind a resident’s driveway. This makes it very difficult for the<br />

home owner to back out of their driveways.<br />

Please do not park near the end of a block as this deters traffic flow. It is<br />

also a safety issue with Children coming home from school and getting<br />

off the bus.<br />

Limit parking to one side of the street. Parking on both sides causes<br />

issues with traffic flow for normal size vehicles not to mention Emergency<br />

vehicles such as Ambulances and Fire Trucks.<br />

STAY UP-TO-DATE WITH FALCON RANCH NEWS AND<br />

WANTING TO MAKE AN EXTERIOR<br />

IMPROVEMENT TO YOUR HOME?<br />

Many new homeowners like to improve on the new home they purchase<br />

by adding a swimming pool, storage shed or other modifications. If<br />

you want to make an exterior change to your home, please fill out the<br />

application found on the Spectrum Website at www.spectrumam.com.<br />

The Association has a committee that reviews these applications and the<br />

committee has 30 days to respond.<br />

NEWSLETTER DEADLINES<br />

Residents are invited to contribute to this local newsletter. Articles<br />

should be submitted to the Board (board@falconranchhoa.com), no later<br />

than the 20 th of the month BEFORE the newsletter is printed, which is the<br />

month before distribution.<br />

RECYCLE YARD WASTE<br />

Residents of <strong>Falcon</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong> could benefit the community, as well as<br />

their own lawns and pocketbooks, with one simple change in lawn<br />

maintenance.<br />

If you or your lawn service currently bag grass clippings, simply leaving<br />

the clippings to work down into the lawn will make a huge difference in<br />

the amount of waste our community puts into the landfill each year. It<br />

will also help conserve water, because the clippings will work to maintain<br />

moisture in the soil. Both of these benefits will save money in the longrun.<br />

Moreover, it is estimated that lawns that are naturally fertilized with<br />

grass clippings require 25% less fertilizer - resulting in even more savings<br />

to you!<br />

Grass clippings and finely chopped leaves add vital nutrients and<br />

organic matter to the lawn, thus improving the health of the lawn. It<br />

isn’t necessary to use a mulching mower; just mow one inch when grass<br />

reaches four inches tall. The clippings won’t be noticed and will break<br />

down within a week.<br />

REPORTING SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY<br />

You may have noticed the constables patrolling our neighborhoods,<br />

working to keep our community safer for everyone. The appearance of<br />

constables has raised a question of what to do if you witness suspicious<br />

activity. If you see something happening that is an emergency, please call<br />

911. If you see suspicious activities that are not emergencies, call the Fort<br />

Bend County Sheriff’s Office at 281-341-4665.<br />

PET PEEVES<br />

Do your duty as a pet owner! When you take your dog for a walk around the community or<br />

to the park, please be courteous to the surrounding neighbors and pick up behind your pet<br />

and keep unwanted dog waste from becoming a threat and a nuisance to the safety and<br />

enjoyment for all members of the community.<br />

STREETLIGHTS OUT?<br />

Contact CenterPoint Energy for repair of streetlights that are not working at:<br />

713-207-2222 by phone<br />

www.centerpointenergy.com/outage/ by internet<br />

Remember to obtain the 6-digit pole number along with the closest physical address to the<br />

street light that is not working. This will cut down on the time for CenterPoint to locate and<br />

repair the pole.<br />

BUNCO GROUP<br />

Are you interested in joining a really fun bunco group? We meet on the 1 st Wednesday of each<br />

month, from 7-9:30 PM. Each of us host at our home with a meal, cooked, catered ordered,<br />

it makes no difference, once a year. Rather than each of us have to bring cash each month,<br />

the hostess pays $75 and that covers her part for the year. This is a monthly commitment,<br />

we depend on you showing up each month, so please don’t take this decision lightly. We ask<br />

you to sub for 2 months, so we get to know each other, see if we are all a good fit. Then we<br />

vote on you and you decide if you like us, too! If this sounds like something you can commit<br />

to and be a part of, please email Carolyn at texasgal6942@att.net.<br />

HOUSTON ASTROS ALEX BREGMAN CHARITY<br />

DONATES IPADS TO KATY ISD<br />

It was a day to remember for many Katy Independent School District<br />

students, who had a visit from Houston Astros third baseman and<br />

shortstop Alex Bregman and the school received brand new iPads,<br />

courtesy of the Bregman Cares Charity. Four Katy ISD schools, including<br />

Leonard, McRoberts, Griffin and Stephens elementary schools, welcomed<br />

the baseball player to their campus for the donation, all while practicing<br />

COVID-19 safety protocols.<br />

“It feels great to see their smiles,” said Houston Astros Alex Bregman.<br />

“Schools are doing a great job of keeping students safe and also helping<br />

them learn. Katy ISD has done a great job in these tough times and is<br />

helping the kids through their learning. It’s been great to be able to hand<br />

out iPads today,” added Bregman.<br />

The Bregman Cares mission is to provide awareness, support, time and<br />

resources to children locally and throughout the country. For the past<br />

few years, the organization has focused on donating technology devices<br />

and educational resources for students.<br />

KATY ISD PROVIDING FREE MEALS<br />

TO ALL KATY AREA STUDENTS<br />

Through an extended waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture<br />

(USDA) and Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), Katy ISD began<br />

providing free meals to all Katy area students on Monday, September<br />

21 st . Students can receive breakfast and lunch at no cost through<br />

<strong>December</strong> 31 st or pending available funds through the USDA and TDA.<br />

“All students are eligible for one breakfast and one lunch meal per day per<br />

federal guidance,” said Nutrition & Food Service Executive Director Donna<br />

Pittenger. “Parents can however add funds to their student’s Pay N’ Go<br />

meal account for a la carte purchases or in preparation for when the<br />

USDA waiver ends,” added Pittenger.<br />

For students participating in Katy ISD virtual instruction, as well as<br />

children 18 and under not enrolled in Katy ISD, breakfast and lunch can<br />

be picked up at designated school curbside distribution sites from 4 to<br />

6 PM, Monday through Friday. Meals are packaged to be heated and<br />

eaten at home and are to be picked up a day before the intended use.<br />

Distribution sites include:<br />

· Cinco <strong>Ranch</strong> High School, 23440 Cinco <strong>Ranch</strong> Blvd, Katy, TX 77494<br />

· Mayde Creek High School, 19202 Groeschke Road, Katy, TX 77084<br />

· Morton <strong>Ranch</strong> High School, 21000 Franz Road, Katy, TX 77449<br />

The TDA policy now requires parents picking up meals, without a<br />

student, to present one of the following forms of documentation for<br />

each child: an official letter, email, electronic school application, student<br />

report card, student ID card, attendance records with student’s names<br />

or a birth certificate. Once the waiver expires, Katy ISD will switch back<br />

to the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program. Free and reduced<br />

meal applications must still be submitted for the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 school year<br />

to determine benefits after the waiver ends. Parents can visit schoolcafe.<br />

com/KatyISD to apply online.<br />
