2021 HOA DUES 

The 2021 dues are due January 1 st , delinquent February 1 st . If you 

need more time to pay your dues, request a payment plan now 

before being turned over to the attorney for collection and avoid 

paying much more. Save yourself a lot of extra money and possible 

judgment and foreclosure. Unlike many other subdivisions, there 

is no charge for a payment plan if you enter into one before being 

turned over to the attorney’s office for collection. 

IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR INVOICE, PLEASE CONTACT 

SPECTRUM ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT AT 281-343-9178. 

ARE YOU SAVING THE MONEY YOU DESERVE ON YOUR PROPERTY 

TAXES? 

While doing some research on our neighborhood recently, I 

noticed that numerous Westfield Homeowners have not filed 

for Homestead Exemption on their property to save money on 

property taxes. (You must occupy the home to qualify for this 

exemption.) 

A homestead exemption helps you save on taxes on your home. 

An exemption removes part of the value of your property from 

taxation and lowers your taxes. For example, if your home is 

valued at $100,000 and you qualify for a $20,000 exemption, you 

pay taxes on a value of $80,000. 

An Application for Residential Homestead Exemption (same form 

for over-65, disability, over-55 surviving spouse or 100% disabled 

veteran homestead exemptions) can be found by hovering over 

Forms Page at www.hcad.org, choose popular forms, then choose 

form #11-13, which is the 1 st form on the list. Homestead exemption, 

General Residential, over 65, disability, over 55 surviving spouse. 

Follow the instructions on the form. 

To check your property to see if you have the homestead 

exemption, go to hcad.org, hover over property search, then 

choose search by address and fill in your address. (You will have 

better success if you do not use dr. cir.pl. etc.) Look about halfway 

down on the left under Exemption Type, this will show the type of 

exemption you have or none if you do not have any exemptions. 

There are videos to watch for complete instructions to fill out the 

homestead exemption form and the documents you will need to 

send in with the application. You can contact the Harris County 

Appraisal District at 713-957-7800 if you have any questions.

NUISANCE ABATEMENT 

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has an overall Nuisance Abatement 

program for neighborhoods. Empty homes with junk and clutter in 

the front and back yards, eyesores for the community, inoperable 

vehicles, health and safety hazards… these and much more are 

addressed under Texas law as it applies to Nuisance Abatements in 

the Traffic Code and the Health and Safety code. All Deputy Contract 

units are trained in every Nuisance Abatement law on the books. Each 

law will be enforced quickly. Once again, we are putting a burden 

on the Sheriff’s Office that rightfully belongs on other agencies and 

the homeowners’ associations, but this is the most expeditious way 

of solving the many problems we are seeing i. So, if you know of 

a home that is abandoned, has a junk vehicle in the driveway or 

street, trash, debris, high grass, a dangerous swimming pool, etc., 

please contact the management company, Spectrum Association 

Management, 281-343-9178, ask them to forward the information to 

our deputy or the district nuisance abatement deputy who will act 

on it immediately. This program began in 2011 following the training 

of all deputies. New deputies who bid into contracts are trained in 

Nuisance Abatement prior to their new assignment. The vehicle 

Nuisance Abatement and parking code are enforced in an ongoing 

policy. The health and safety laws will supplement that for further 

improvement in our neighborhoods. The Harris County Sheriff’s 

Office is partnering with the Harris County Health Department and 

the County Attorney in an effort to clean up these problems. 

REPORT STREETLIGHT OUTAGES 

Please report outages of streetlights to Centerpoint Energy. You will 

need the pole number as well as the nearest street address and call 

713-207-2222 or go to their website and complete an online form. 

It is very important that non-working lights are reported for the 

safety of our each of us. We pay the exact same whether the light is 

working or not.

CRIME STOPPERS OF HOUSTON 

ANNUAL HOUSTON’S HEROES 

AWARDS LUNCHEON ON MAY 4TH 

Celebrating its 40 years of service to Houston and Texas, Crime Stoppers 

of Houston will host its annual Houston’s Heroes Awards Luncheon on 

Tuesday, May 4, 2021 from 11:30 AM-1 PM at the Royal Sonesta Houston 

Hotel to honor outstanding individuals and organizations who have 

given exemplary service to make Houston a safer place to live, work, 

learn and play. Due to the public health threat from Covid-19 and the 

current health and safety protocols, we will offer both an in-person 

event with limited seating as well as virtual access for sponsors and 

supporters to participate from home. While Crime Stoppers had to 

cancel this event last Spring due to the pandemic, the organization is 

unable to do so this year and reminds the community that it relies on 

this event for funding. Eight distinguished awards will be awarded at 

this annual fundraiser that raises funds to keep our communities safe. 

For the second year, Crime Stoppers of Houston will reveal the winner 

of the Dave Ward Media Excellence Award. This unique award will honor 

an entity or individual who has exhibited media excellence and will be 

6 


selected by Houston’s Media Icon Dave Ward himself, along with support 

from a small committee of his constituents at Crime Stoppers of Houston. 

For 40 years, Crime Stoppers of Houston has focused on solving crime 

through the famed Tip Line, 713-222-TIPS and reducing overall criminal 

activity by preventing it through educational community programming. 

The non-profit, which fundraises year-round will directly benefit from 

the luncheon’s proceeds to help further advance the Crime Stoppers’ 

mission. Attending the 2021 Houston’s Heroes Awards Luncheon is one 

easy way to support Crime Stoppers and public safety. The event is open 

to participation by all. Individual tickets start at $175 and sponsorship 

opportunities are available. 

Please note: Due to Covid-19, the event will be a hybrid event and we 

are urging the community to still get involved. To purchase tickets, visit 

https://crime-stoppers.org/get-involved/2021CSLuncheon. For more 

information about the event, contact Paige Hollek at phollek@crimestoppers.org

We have done everything we can to try and reopen our doors, including 

becoming the first theater in the country to install hospital grade UV lights 

in our air filtration system. We even offered a safe and distanced indoor 

concert as well as an indoor offering from our educational touring unit 

this past fall. And when those projects proved financially challenging and 

COVID numbers spiked again, we created “Light Up the Lot” and moved 

all our programming outdoors. We’ve never given up. We never will give 

up. But due to circumstances beyond our control, we find ourselves 

needing to pivot once more. Which brings us to the announcement of 

our virtual season. Go to www.adplayers.org for all the information.

Katy ISD Campus Phase 1 Safety Protocols remain in effect to ensure the continued 

mitigation and deterrence of the potential spread of COVID-19. The District anticipates 

releasing Phase 2 protocols when state, local and the Texas Education Agency (TEA) 

provide updated guidance allowing for de-escalation of virus mitigation protocols. Katy 

ISD will provide updates as additional information becomes available. Please check the 

Katy ISD “Smart Restart” webpage to review current Campus Phase 1 Safety Protocols. 

KATY ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES CALL 

FOR A MAY 2021 SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION 

The Katy ISD Board of Trustees approved to hold a general election in 

May 2021 for a three-year term in Positions 6 and 7. 

• Early Voting by Personal Appearance: Mon, April 19 to Tues, April 27, 2021 

• Election Day: Saturday, May 1, 2021 

Currently, Position 6 is being held by Susan Gesoff and Position 7 is held 

by Dawn Champagne. State law requires a candidate for trustee of an 

independent school district to be a qualified voter by the time mentioned 

in Election Code Section 141.001. Katy ISD trustees are the governing body 

of the school district and are the main advising group that oversees and 

shapes policies. Individuals serving as Board members are not employees 

of Katy ISD, yet they dedicate countless hours to lead an A+ school district. 

KATY VIRTUAL SCHOOL REGISTRATION OPEN 

For students, virtual classes are an excellent way to acquire graduation credits 

and/or expand their learning opportunities. Last year, over 4,000 students 

utilized the Katy Virtual School (KVS) program offered by the Katy Independent 

School District. KVS launched in 2013 with a primary goal of expanding the 

learning opportunities for students by offering choice and flexibility for rigorous 

online courses developed and taught by Katy ISD teachers. KVS has begun 

online registration for Summer 2021, Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 semesters. 

“KVS provides online learning that offers a flexible, online experience, which 

helps students achieve their educational goals,” said Susan Richards, Katy ISD 

Instructional Technology e-Learning Manager. “The virtual model of e-learning 

is in high demand and delivers quality instruction to Katy ISD students, outside 

of normal school hours, to support student graduation plans. KVS is different 

from the current Katy Virtual Academy (KVA), which is the online learning 

model implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” added Richards. 

Dr. Brad McCary, DVM 

www.williamsburg-vets.com 

KVS will offer a wide range of courses from Creative Writing, AP Art 

History, English III, World Geography, Economics, Psychology and more. 

There are over 30 Advanced Placement (AP), Katy Advanced Program 

(KAP) and academic level courses available to students with additional 

opportunities being added each year. The cost per course is $200 per 

semester. KVS is an approved College Board online provider for Advanced 

Placement (AP) courses and by the NCAA for student initial eligibility.

EIGHTEEN KATY ISD SCHOOLS EARN 

TEXAS HONOR ROLL DISTINCTION 

Katy Independent School District is focused on closing the achievement 

gap and helping all its students reach academic success. To recognize 

those efforts, 18 Katy ISD schools now proudly display the distinction of 

being a Texas Honor Roll School by the Educational Results Partnership 

(ERP). 

After an extensive analysis of student data of every public school in 

Texas, these campuses demonstrated clear leadership in motivating 

and achieving academic success for its students at their grade-level 

and beyond. Sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education 

Excellence (CBEE), the ERP Honor Roll is the only school recognition 

program in the state that uses student achievement outcome data, 

making it a valuable resource for all schools to identify successful peers 

and learn about best practices that improve student success. 

The 2019-20 Texas Honor Roll includes: 

Elementary: Alexander, Holland, Kilpatrick, Pattison, Randolph, Shafer, 

Stanley, Wilson, 

Wolman 

Junior High: Beckendorff, Katy, Memorial Parkway, McMeans, Seven 

Lakes, Tays, WoodCreek 

High School: Tompkins, Seven Lakes 

For high schools, the ERP Texas Honor Roll recognition includes measures 

of college readiness. This year, the program recognized 943 higherperforming 

schools across the state. 

DONATUTORS 

Donatutors is a nonprofit tutoring organization that donates 100% of 

our proceeds to charity. All of our tutors are straight-A students at Seven 

Lakes High school and we offer a multitude of courses like creative 

writing, computer science, biology, public speaking, ICTW writing and 

many different math courses too. We charge $20 per class, but the first

April Gardening Tips 

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great 

many pests that die from various causes while in the bag. When you buy 

‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you are also buying ants, 

roaches, termites, etc…” Spend a little more on bagged material and save 

lots of future pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top 

of your homes exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid in minimizing 

pests in your home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections. 

Shrubs, Flowers and ground covers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12” - 

18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that is 

18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can grow 

up next to the slab as long as you keep it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. 

The most conducive to termite infestation are groundcover plantings, 

growing high against your homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows 

on your walls. 

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray 

eliminates overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist 

the pest onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The fall spray also 

kills pests from the summer, prevents most fungi from occurring over the 

winter and puts your valuable asset off to a healthy winter’s dormancy. 

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop 

brown patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin and 

weak in some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a) lawn 

aeration” b) fertilization” c) weed control. 

Most important is proper watering: 

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do not 

water.) 

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage. 

• In severe drought, water every 5th day. 

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT. 

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger 

and more drought resistant roots. 

• Less watering also saves you money!! 

WHEN IS EARTH DAY? 

This observance always falls on April 22 nd . On Earth Day, enjoy the tonic 

of fresh air, contact with the soil and companionship with nature! Walk 

through the woods in search of emerging wildflowers and green moss. 

Go outside, no matter what the weather! 

Ever wondered how Earth Day started? This observance arose from an 

interest in gathering national support for environmental issues. In 1970, 

San Francisco activist John McConnell and Wisconsin Senator Gaylord 

Nelson separately asked Americans to join in a grassroots demonstration. 

McConnell chose the spring equinox (March 21, 1970) and Nelson chose 

April 22 nd . Millions of people participated and today Earth Day continues 

to be widely celebrated with events on both dates. 

The most common practice of celebration is to plant new trees for Earth 

Day. Other Earth Day activities and ideas are: Plant wildflowers, Go 

native! Plants thrive when they’re natural to your area, bring nature into 

the garden with plants that attract butterflies, try an organic vegetable 

garden and conserve water.
