ANNUAL HOA FEES DUE<br />
The Board was able to avoid raising dues for <strong>2021</strong> and the annual statement<br />
has been mailed to all homeowners. The dues should be paid in January. If<br />
you anticipate not being able to pay your <strong>Westgate</strong> fees for 2020 on time,<br />
be sure to call Inframark (281-870-0585) to discuss getting on a payment<br />
plan before more fees are tacked on-from the attorney, etc. $635 can turn<br />
into $1000+ very quickly. Even if you don’t think you can pay all at once, you<br />
need to call Inframark to make payment arrangements. DON’T WAIT and<br />
cost yourself MORE money. These dues help pay for landscaping, electricity,<br />
water, refurbishing and adding amenities and pool management, among<br />
other things. It helps <strong>Westgate</strong> continue to be a great community with<br />
stable or increasing property values. If you’d ever like details of how your<br />
dues are spent, you can always ask our management company. Also, go to<br />
our annual meeting and you will receive a copy of the financials.<br />
DEADLINE FOR HOA BOARD ELECTION IN MARCH<br />
At the Annual Homeowners’ Meeting in <strong>March</strong>, two positions on the HOA<br />
Board of Directors are up for election; Kimberly McGaughy and Wanda<br />
Lewis currently hold those positions. If you have any questions about what<br />
Board directors do, feel free to email us. HOA Board members should be<br />
residents who want to help steer <strong>Westgate</strong> right and protect their home’s<br />
property values. Having good Board members can make a big difference<br />
in the quality of life in a neighborhood. They need to have common sense,<br />
care about the community and be willing to go to monthly meetings to<br />
conduct business.<br />

Our Board meetings are currently being held through Zoom on the 4 th<br />
Thursday of each month. Check our website for details and join in.<br />
DO YOU KNOW YOUR DEED RESTRICTIONS?<br />
In an effort to educate our residents, we are highlighting some deed<br />
restriction or other item that needs improvement in <strong>Westgate</strong>:<br />
FINE POLICY FOR DEED RESTRICTION VIOLATIONS<br />
Beginning in 2016, <strong>Westgate</strong> instituted a new fining policy for deed<br />
restriction violations. Our bylaws give approval to do so. After researching<br />
other neighborhoods’ fining policies and working with our attorney to<br />
ensure we comply with state law, the Board voted to approve this step.<br />
The details are available in the Fine Policy document, but the policy is<br />
essentially this: • One notice of violation is mailed to homeowner. • After<br />
30 days, certified Notice of Non Compliance letter is sent to homeowner.<br />
$50 fine assessed. The homeowner can request to be heard by the Board.<br />
• After 30 more days, another notice of violation is sent and $100 fine assessed.<br />
The Board can then send the matter to the attorney. • In certain circumstances,<br />
the Board can forgo the Notice of Non Compliance; for instance, if the<br />
homeowner has received the same notice of violation within a certain period.<br />
At any time, anyone can request clarification on a violation by calling our<br />
management company, PCMI. Keep up to date through our website, www.<br />
westgatetx.net and on our Facebook group, <strong>Westgate</strong> Subdivision. COPIES<br />
OF ALL WESTGATE FOUNDING DOCUMENTS (including the ARC form) can be<br />
downloaded from the <strong>Westgate</strong> website www.westgatetx.net.<br />

HARRIS COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE INFORMATION<br />
<strong>Westgate</strong> Subdivision falls within District 4 of the Harris County Sheriff’s<br />
Department. Suspicious behavior should be called in to the Non-<br />
Emergency number, general questions should be directed to the Patrol<br />
District Office and emergencies should always call 911:<br />
NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER: 713-221-6000 (Option 1 for dispatch)<br />
PATROL DISTRICT OFFICE: 281-463-2648 (for general information only)<br />
16715 Clay Road, Houston, TX 77084<br />
EMERGENCY: 9-1-1 (emergencies only)<br />
FILING A REPORT 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 />
CALL 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 couple<br />
felons off our streets. When an incident happens - suspicious person or<br />
vehicle, someone rifles through your car, etc - call the non-emergency<br />
number whether anything was taken or not, whether damage was done or<br />
not. 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. HCSO put their noncontract<br />
officers where there are problems. No calls = no problems. One<br />
call a week or so does not prompt a concern. But if everyone who posted<br />
on social media called it in, it would be, then HCSO would be justified in<br />
allocating more resources in our area to combat 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 />

COMMUNITY GENEROUSLY SUPPORTS <strong>2021</strong><br />
LIVESTOCK SHOW AND SALE<br />
The 27 th Annual CFISD Livestock Show Association Show and Sale, held<br />
Feb. 1 st -6 th at the CFISD Exhibit Center, saw an incredible amount of<br />
generosity from the CFISD community through the live auction, freezer<br />
sale, monetary donations and the first-ever online sale, despite the<br />
COVID-19 pandemic.<br />
The Premium Sale (live auction) unofficially raised $281,950, which is<br />
$23,250 more than last year. Final amounts from the Freezer Sale (animals<br />
not placing high enough for the live auction), Agriculture Mechanics and<br />
Horticulture silent auction and additional gifts to students are not yet<br />
available. More than 130 projects had pre-sale commitments to purchase<br />
and animals in the Freezer Sale sold out in record time. In addition, one<br />
new record was set for Grand Champion Turkey:<br />
• Texas Travel Plaza & Cana Tire Inc. paid $20,000 for the Grand Champion<br />
Turkey exhibited by Mason Oehlers from Jersey Village High School.<br />
“The support from the community was amazing,” said Denise Kubecka,<br />
director of career and technical education. “The common message<br />
community members shared was that they were there to ensure our<br />
FFA students were rewarded for their hard work and they did not want<br />
the pandemic to take anything away from that. So many wanted to be<br />
a part of this event that the students will remember for a lifetime. The<br />
community’s outpouring of support was heartwarming. This would not<br />

FOUR HIGH SCHOOLS RECEIVE FIRST WAVE OF<br />
SYNTHETIC TURF FIELDS<br />
Four high schools have finished receiving new synthetic turf baseball<br />
and softball fields as part of the community-supported 2019 bond<br />
referendum. Cypress Ridge, Cypress Ranch, Cypress Woods and Cypress<br />
Falls high schools each received the improvements this year, at an<br />
estimated cost of $14.5 million. The project was designed by IBI Architects<br />
and constructed by ICI Construction.<br />
“A three-phase plan is being implemented for the design and<br />
construction of the fields,” said Roy Sprague, CFISD chief operations<br />
officer. “Phase 1 started in 2019, with those four campuses having<br />

<strong>2021</strong>.<br />
The synthetic turf, supplied by FieldTurf USA, allows for almost immediate<br />
playability after rainfall; as well as less groundskeeping and maintenance,<br />
year-round availability and increased safety.<br />
“We are excited for the start of our upcoming softball and baseball<br />
seasons and the recent addition of our four baseball and four softball<br />
turfed fields,” said Ray Zepeda, CFISD director of athletics. “The entire<br />
project will allow us to have a facility that is much more useful and<br />
functional for our programs, athletes and coaches.”<br />
In addition to the surface improvements, the project also increased the<br />
seating capacity at the Cypress Ridge and Cypress Ranch softball fields<br />
and the Cypress Woods and Cypress Falls baseball facilities.<br />
“We are hopeful that this will allow us to host more playoff contests within<br />
our school district,” Zepeda said. “The quality of the materials and the scope<br />
of the entire project reflects our communities’ commitment to having firstclass<br />
facilities for our athletes. We sincerely appreciate the support of our<br />
community and will certainly take great pride in our new facilities.”<br />

We have done everything we can to try and reopen our doors, including<br />
becoming the first theater in the country to install hospital grade UV lights<br />
in our air filtration system. We even offered a safe and distanced indoor<br />
concert as well as an indoor offering from our educational touring unit<br />
this past fall. And when those projects proved financially challenging and<br />
COVID numbers spiked again, we created “Light Up the Lot” and moved<br />
all our programming outdoors. We’ve never given up. We never will give<br />
up. But due to circumstances beyond our control, we find ourselves<br />
needing to pivot once more. Which brings us to the announcement of<br />
our virtual season. Go to www.adplayers.org for all the information.<br />

<strong>March</strong> Gardening Tips<br />
VEGETABLES: Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and<br />
snap beans and pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans,<br />
cantaloupe, okra (if the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F. or<br />
higher), southern peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and watermelon.<br />
LAWN: Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this<br />
part of Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun). • When<br />
resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY the variety<br />
Floratam for best pest resistance. See www.plantanswers.com/grass.htm.<br />
TREES AND SHRUBS: Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as<br />
possible. In shady areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a<br />
dependable groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or one of<br />
the prostrate junipers. • Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during<br />
early <strong>March</strong>. However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have<br />
bloomed. • Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer<br />
analysis such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square feet of garden<br />
planting area. Early <strong>March</strong> is the ideal time to fertilize landscape plants because<br />
you give them food just before the spring growing season starts.<br />
NATIONAL PLANT A FLOWER DAY - MARCH 12TH<br />
Spring is just around the corner and <strong>March</strong> 12 th is the day to participate<br />
in National Plant a Flower Day. Each year this day is dedicated to the<br />
planting of flowers and looking forward to the spring season. Flower<br />
gardening has become a hobby for many, young and old and National<br />
Plant a Flower Day is a start to the new season each year.<br />
Marigolds and Daffodils are the flowers of this month. It’s good to know<br />
the zone you live in to determine which flowers grow as perennials (those<br />
that grow back every year) in your area and which are considered annuals<br />
(those that require planting every year). To find out more check out the<br />
USDA site for Hardiness Zones.<br />
Seeds can be started inside and set in a sunny window. When the weather<br />
is nicer, move those plants outside. Keep the soil moist, but not wet and<br />
follow the instructions on the seed package for proper germination of<br />
the seedling. For those who can’t wait, get out those seed catalogs and<br />
start planning your next flower garden.<br />
Are you in a warmer climate? Then it’s time to get out the trowel and<br />
the garden gloves and start turning over some new soil. Sow some new<br />
seeds, bulbs or plants and nurture those blossoms into a brilliant blaze<br />
for the whole neighborhood to enjoy.<br />
Tips for Starting a Flower Garden: Start with a potted garden. If you aren’t<br />
ready to tear up a patch of lawn, this is a good way to go. They do require<br />
more watering, but less care overall. • Select plants that grow well in<br />
your spot. Some plants grow well in the shade and others prefer the sun.<br />
Others love both! • Did you know gardeners who prefer perennial gardens<br />
have to thin their flower beds every couple of years? They also like to<br />
share the extra bulbs and seeds with those who are new to gardening,<br />
so if you know someone with a green thumb, get to know them better.<br />
You might get some free plants, advice and a budding friendship! • Local<br />
greenhouses stock plants that grow well in your area. Don’t be afraid to<br />
ask them questions and shop there frequently. • Let’s all work together<br />
by planting a flower and helping make the world a more beautiful place.<br />
