NOTES FROM THE BOARD<br />
<strong>2020</strong> HOA DUES<br />
The <strong>2020</strong> dues were due January 1 st , delinquent February 1 st . If you<br />
need more time to pay your dues, request a payment plan now<br />
before being turned over to the attorney for collection and avoid<br />
paying much more. Save yourself a lot of extra money and possible<br />
judgment and foreclosure. Unlike many other subdivisions, there<br />
is no charge for a payment plan if you enter into one before being<br />
turned over to the attorney’s office for collection.<br />
IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR INVOICE, PLEASE CONTACT<br />
SPECTRUM ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT AT 281-343-9178.<br />
ARE YOU SAVING THE MONEY YOU DESERVE ON YOUR<br />
PROPERTY TAXES?<br />
While doing some research on our neighborhood recently, I<br />
noticed that numerous <strong>Westfield</strong> Homeowners have not filed<br />
for Homestead Exemption on their property to save money on<br />
property taxes. (You must occupy the home to qualify for this<br />
exemption.)<br />
A homestead exemption helps you save on taxes on your home.<br />
An exemption removes part of the value of your property from<br />
taxation and lowers your taxes. For example, if your home is<br />
valued at $100,000 and you qualify for a $20,000 exemption, you<br />
pay taxes on a value of $80,000.<br />
An Application for Residential Homestead Exemption (same<br />
form for over-65, disability, over-55 surviving spouse or 100%<br />
disabled veteran homestead exemptions) can be found by<br />
hovering over Forms Page at www.hcad.org, choose popular<br />
forms, then choose form #11-13, which is the 1 st form on the<br />
list. Homestead exemption, General Residential, over 65,<br />
disability, over 55 surviving spouse. Follow the instructions<br />
on the form.<br />

• Panel Upgrades<br />

Military/Veteran Discount ● Senior Discount<br />
To check your property to see if you have the homestead<br />
exemption, go to hcad.org, hover over property search, then<br />
choose search by address and fill in your address. (You will have<br />
better success if you do not use dr. cir.pl. etc.) Look about halfway<br />
down on the left under Exemption Type, this will show the type of<br />
exemption you have or none if you do not have any exemptions.<br />
There are videos to watch for complete instructions to fill out the<br />
homestead exemption form and the documents you will need to<br />
send in with the application.<br />
You can contact the Harris County Appraisal District at 713-957-<br />
7800 if you have any questions.<br />

NUISANCE ABATEMENT<br />
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has an overall Nuisance<br />
Abatement program for neighborhoods. Empty homes with junk<br />
and clutter in the front and back yards, eyesores for the community,<br />
inoperable vehicles, health and safety hazards… these and much<br />
more are addressed under Texas law as it applies to Nuisance<br />
Abatements in the Traffic Code and the Health and Safety code. All<br />
Deputy Contract units are trained in every Nuisance Abatement<br />
law on the books. Each law will be enforced quickly.<br />
Once again, we are putting a burden on the Sheriff’s Office that<br />
rightfully belongs on other agencies and the homeowners’<br />
associations, but this is the most expeditious way of solving<br />
the many problems we are seeing i. So, if you know of a home<br />
that is abandoned, has a junk vehicle in the driveway or street,<br />
trash, debris, high grass, a dangerous swimming pool, etc.,<br />
please contact the management company, Spectrum Association<br />
Management, 281-343-9178, ask them to forward the information<br />
to our deputy or the district nuisance abatement deputy who will<br />
act on it immediately.<br />
This program began in 2011 following the training of all deputies.<br />
New deputies who bid into contracts are trained in Nuisance<br />
Abatement prior to their new assignment. The vehicle Nuisance<br />
Abatement and parking code are enforced in an ongoing policy.<br />
The health and safety laws will supplement that for further<br />
improvement in our neighborhoods. The Harris County Sheriff’s<br />
Office is partnering with the Harris County Health Department<br />
and the County Attorney in an effort to clean up these problems.<br />
REPORT STREETLIGHT OUTAGES<br />
Please report outages of streetlights to Centerpoint Energy. You<br />
will need the pole number as well as the nearest street address<br />
and call 713-207-2222 or go to their website and complete an<br />
online form. It is very important that non-working lights are<br />
reported for the safety of our each of us. We pay the exact same<br />
whether the light is working or not.<br />

HOMEOWNER HOT LINE<br />
THERE IS HELP FOR YOUR<br />
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION!<br />
The Greater Houston Chapter of the <strong>Community</strong> Associations<br />
Institute (CAI) has launched a free HOA Hotline, a resource<br />
for homeowners and Board members owning homes/units<br />
in condominium, townhome and subdivision community<br />
associations and have questions about the operations of their<br />
association. The Hotline is staffed with local non-attorney experts<br />
knowledgeable in community association best practices. Please<br />
contact the Hotline by calling 832-251-1874. We urge homeowners<br />
to take advantage of this free resource. After all, isn’t it better to<br />
resolve issues quickly and reasonably now before they get out of<br />
hand later? *Please note, the HOA Hotline panel, as well as CAI<br />
Staff will NOT give out legal advice. If seeking legal help, please<br />
contact the appropriate attorney or legal service. LegalLine is a<br />
free legal service, open to any Harris County citizen. It is held on<br />
the first and third Wednesday of every month, from 5-9 PM. To<br />
reach a volunteer attorney, call 713-759-1133. This program is by<br />
telephone only. For Spanish speakers, Consejos Legales is the first<br />
Thursday of the month from 6-8 PM. To reach a Spanish speaking<br />
volunteer attorney call 713-759-1133.<br />

PREPARE YOUR HOME FOR WINTER<br />
Preparing your home for winter can save you time and money. A little<br />
preparation time in November can save you from the heartache of<br />
these winter disasters.<br />
GUTTERS<br />
Remove leaves and other debris from gutters, so they move and properly<br />
drain. Improper drainage can cause seepage into the house causing<br />
water to drip from the ceiling and walls.<br />
TREES<br />
It is important to trim the trees especially over the roof area, driveway<br />
and walkways. Ice and wind could cause weak or dead branches to break.<br />
This could damage your home, your car or injure someone.<br />
INSULATION/PIPES<br />
How’s your insulation? Proper insulation saves in your utility bills and<br />
also helps protect pipes from freezing. Wrap all exposed pipes. Check for<br />
cracks and leaks and have them repaired to prevent more costly repairs<br />
later. Learn how to shut off the water. If your pipes do freeze, shutting<br />
off the water may help prevent the pipes from bursting. Keep the<br />
temperature inside the house at least 65 degrees. A lower temperature<br />
may not keep the pipes from freezing.<br />
HEATING SYSTEM<br />
It is important to service your heating system at least once a year. If you<br />
have a wood burning fireplace, the chimney should also be serviced once<br />
a year. Smoke and fire alarms should be working properly and you might<br />
consider installing a carbon dioxide detector.<br />
IF YOU ARE AWAY FROM HOME<br />
If you are going to be gone for an extended period of time during very<br />
cold weather, drain the pipes to prevent freezing. Also have someone<br />
check on your home regularly. If there is a problem, it can be fixed<br />
quickly, possibly preventing further damage. Remember to have mail and<br />
newspaper delivery held and notify the constables that you will be gone.<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 Ranch High School, 23440 Cinco Ranch Blvd, Katy, TX 77494<br />
· Mayde Creek High School, 19202 Groeschke Road, Katy, TX 77084<br />
· Morton Ranch 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 />
