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 />

• Diagnose & Repair<br />

• Panel Upgrades<br />

• Generators<br />

• Surge Protection<br />

• Custom Lighting<br />

• Smart Switches<br />

5 Year Warranty ● Flexible Payment Plans<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 />

Go to www.constablepct4.com to put a vacation watch on your home.<br />

TEENAGE JOB SEEKERS<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 />
