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 />

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 />
