HomeMy WebLinkAboutJanuaryStorm drainage improvements estimated at $9.4 million Major storm sewer improvements on College Avenue that would discharge to the Kilmarnock Ditch, rather than the Poor Farm Ditch, represents the primary recommendation of a drainage study completed by the City's consulting engineer Claunch & Miller, Inc. The study, undertaken in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Allison last June, focused on the area bounded by University Boulevard on the north, Bellaire Boulevard on the south, Weslayan to the west, and the boundary with Southside Place on the east. Total improvements are estimated at $9.4 million. The report identified three primary deficiencies with the City's existing drainage system: ® Limited means for the conveyance of overland sheet flow (the flow of rainfall across yards, streets, and other open areas prior to becoming channelized) for large-event storms; • A significantly undersized storm sewer outfall system; and • Inability of the Poor Farm Ditch to adequately handle storms greater than a two-year event. Kilmarnock Ditch, a major drainage channel that begins just south and west of the Cities of West U and Southside Place, appears to have a greater amount of excess capacity, making it a more attractive outfall than Poor Farm Ditch. Claunch and Miller suggested $3.8 million in short term improvements, City offices will be closed New Year's Day Tuesday, January Is', 2002 ®There will be no solid wasfe pickup including discharging to the Kilmarnock Ditch and several cleaning and maintenance operations to existing storm sewer lines. Long-term projects, which would require the Harris County Flood Control District to improve the conveyance of the Poor Farm Ditch and channel improvements on Kilmarnock Ditch are estimated at over $5.5 million. According to the report, some of the recommended projects will present challenges to construct due to site constraints and some may be undesirable by residents due to aesthetic reasons, disruption, and the acquisition of easements. However, each project will provide the City and the overall study area with increased protection from street flooding. The report also suggests that West U and Southside Place should negotiate cost sharing responsibilities of the recommended projects that benefit both cities.

Information Spotlight.. 4 7- Pay now for sidewalks later GwErnployee in the Spotlight This month's employee in the spotlight is Firefighter Tommy Jones. Tommy has been a regular paid member of the fire department since 1980, but his in- volvement in the fire service dates back many years. As a lifelong resident of West U, Tommy's interest in firefighting began in 1965 when he first joined the department as a volunteer. He served the city in that capacity for several years, before entering the Air Force in 1969. While serving with Uncle Sam, Tommy continued to gain experience as a military firefighter. During his tenure with the West U Fire Department, Tommy has been asked to wear many hats. He has been a regis- tered paramedic since 1977, and an EMS instructor for most of those years. Tommy's interest in fire cause deter- mination has resulted in his attending both police and arson academies. He now serves as one of the department's investigators. Tommy is married and has six chil- dren. He and his wife Shannon are heavily involved in their kids activities, dividing their time between boy's sport- ing events and girls competitive skat- ing. However, they both agree that vis- iting their farm in the country is a wel- come relief from the hustle of city life. Tommy's contributions to the devel- opment and progress of today's fire de- partment are many, and are appreciated by all who know and work with him. He hopes to continue to serve his friends and neighbors for many years to come. j~ Due to the recent adoption of the City's sidewalk policy the West U City Council amended the sidewalk ordinance. This amendment takes effect on De- cember 21, 2001 and is intended to provide greater flexibility for home owners and contractors in achieving compliance with the city's sidewalk policy and ordinance. The adopted sidewalk ordinance requires home owners to install new sidewalks if there is new construction or substantial remodeling accruing on a lot. The side- walk policy requires all sidewalks to be installed in accordance with the City's comprehensive sidewalk plan. As of this writing a comprehensive sidewalk plan does not exist for the entire city. With the lack of a complete comprehensive sidewalk plan there is the potential some sidewalks may be installed now that will not comply with the future compre- hensive plan thus requiring their replacement or modification at the home owners expense when the plan is finalized and implemented. In order to avoid this potential waste of time, effort, and money Ordinance 1704 allows contractors or home owners the option of paying the city an estimated cost for the sidewalk required by their construction project. This payment maybe made when applying for a building permit W [ for a new home or remodeling project. Once payment is made, the city will assume all responsibility of installing the sidewalk and in- corporate it into the comprehensive sidewalk priority system.

This has been a long process that has many people asking why it takes so long to hire police officers. There are a number of reasons for this phenomenon. The law enforcement pro- fession, long the ambition of young chil- dren, looses some of its lustre as we get older. The pay is not high, the hours in- compatible with normal family and social lives, and it is physically and emotionally draining. All of these factors tend to steer qualified individuals to other professions. There are other, even more daunting im- pediments to hiring good officers. When police services are needed, people expect the best trained, most qualified person available wearing the blue uniform. It is part of the function of police management to ensure that expectation is met. In or- der to accomplish this, police applicants are subjected to a grueling selection pro- cess. This process, on a national scale, eliminates approximately 95 - 97 percent of the applicants. The process is meant to ensure that only those persons with the requisite levels of intelligence, emotional stability, and integrity are hired. The can- didates are tested, both in writing and be- fore an interview board made up of of- ficers of various levels and backgrounds. Their background is thoroughly investi- gated to ensure that people with histories of improper or illegal conduct or which show a pattern of instability or lack of judgment are identified and eliminated. Such things as drug abuse, criminal ac- tivity, or significant employment instabil- ity eliminate many applicants. Next comes the polygraph test and the psychological evaluation. These procedures eliminate many who want to become police offic- ers for the wrong reason, who are emo- tionally unsuited for such a position, or whose veracity cannot be trusted. The demands of the police service are high, and rightfully so. Many seek to wear the badge, but few actually prove them- selves up to the task of wearing one. It takes a long time to find the right person to wear a WUPD uniform, but I think you will agree that it is time well spent. The next time you see a WUPD officer, you will know that he or she rose to the top and proved themselves worthy. mecycie i by Rick Jenkins, Recycling at The City of West U no longer picks- up cardboard on trash clays. Your flattened cardboard will be picked- up on Wednesdays. Please store card- board inside until the following Wednes- day, as wet cardboard does not gener- ate revenue. This change was recom- mended by your Recycling and Solid Waste Reduction Board and approved by City Council in December 2001. Cardboard is worth money to your City. West U collected more than $175,000 by recycling in 2000 and 2001, mostly from per and cardboard. d Solid Waste Reduction Board Chair If you place cardboard curbside on Wednesdays with your other recyclable items, you cut costs by reducing the amount of garbage destined for costly landfills and increase the amount of recyclable material that generates revenue. Cardboard can also be deposited at RecyclExpress located at 5004 Dincans which is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. This change will help keep our costs down. If you have any questions, please call the Public Works Department at 713.662.5839. L ` ®r VA, lid I all The 111h annual Park u'-Lovers Ball is creeping up on us.

Page 6 The Fire i by Richard Cole, West U Fire Marshal's Office Well, the holidays are over, decora- tions are back in the attic, and New Year's Fesolutions are fresh on our minds. We at the Fire Marshal's of- fice hope that one of your resolu- tions is to be more fire safety con- scious especially now that winter is here. Winter is usually a very busy time !;for the fire department. Therefore, we want to pass on a few tips to make your winter season safer. Put', ;'your holiday tree at the curb for city, pick-up. Keeping it next to the ga- `;rage or allowing children to play with', ahem could be disastrous. These. trees are dry and flammable and will@ burn just as fast as gasoline. Space heaters are another major source of fires during the winter. Keep combustibles at least three feet away. Make sure your space heater has a screen over the heat elements and turns off automati- cally if tipped over. Extension cords should never be used with space heaters. Pon't leave children in a room alone with a space heater. You won't believe what kids will stick into the heater. Your furnace also needs attention. When putting decorations in the at- tic, don't put them close to your fur- nace or water heater. Furnaces should be checked annually before using and checked to make sure they are operating appropriately. in- spect the vent piping from your fur- nace for loose connections and make sure that the piping goes to the outside of your house. If you have gas appliances, this last item concerns you. Carbon mon- oxide is a silent killer that can be emitted from poorly functioning gas appliances. If you use gas appliances in your home, make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector installed. a~ Page 7 c a~l e ~nd Wr ~of ~ev e~n t ~sf ~or ~Ja nZ a S le Zi o~r s (i • Wednesday, January 2 • Tuesday, January 8 Monday, January 21 Learn how to make jewelry by re- Immerse yourself in nature.

V New Year's Day Tuesday, January 1 the area, whenever one animal is re- moved from its' territory, another will move in. If there is available food, wild- life will be attracted to the area. Almost all animals relocated to an- other area die within one year due to territorial disputes and food shortages. This is hardly a "humane" solution to the problem. The most effective way to eliminate unwanted animals is to make your home and yard undesirable for them - especially by eliminating their food sup- ply. Rats, roaches, opossums and rac- coons all thrive on pet food (especially when left outside overnight) and gar- bage in unsecured bags or cans. If an animal has built a nest or den in your home, you can often encourage them to leave by placing mirrors, bright lights, radios, or predator urine (available at sporting goods stores) in their nesting area. Animals can be discouraged from feeding on your plants by placing fake owls, snakes or hawks in the area, plac- ing net material over the plants, or add- ing flashing lights or noise to the area.
