Good things continue to happen in West
University Place. On Saturday, January
15th, we had a public hearing to afford ev-
ery resident an opportunity to participate
in the City's consideration of proposed
amendments to our Tree Ordinance. Over
100 attended; most of them spoke, and
spoke well. The regulation and treatment
of -trees in both public and private areas
evokes deep and strident responses as a re-
sult of heartfelt caring by our residents.
Many speakers urged Council to implement
the concerns expressed by the people at the
meeting using a rule of reasonableness. I
think that is fair, and we at Council will
try to act reasonably and responsibly. We
are better prepared to address this question
er hearing from you, and we thank you
for the special effort you made to set aside
your Saturday morning and to come to City
Hall to meet with us.
The following day at the Houston-
Tenneco Marathon our City hosted people
from all over the world. Runners from
other U.S. states, Russia, South America,
and a myraid of other international entrants
ran down University and Wesiayan. No one
was unaware that they were in our City of
West University Place, and many said it was
the best part of the course. Our thanks go
to many: Jerry Burns and crew for getting
the streets ready; Steve Griffith and his
force; Terry Stevenson and his firemen; Kay
Holloway and Mike Tanner for coordinat-
ing activities. Citizens involved and work-
ing on the event included Larry Massey
(Hoopla Committee), Mike Eason (and can-
non), Susan Arnoult (Little League Dug-
out), Bob Barnes (Banner) of Compass
Bank, Warner Cable, KUHF, those who

The future of trash collection in our City has become a prime topic at Council meetings
of late. Privatization, distribution of bags, and closing the recycling drop-off on Milton
Street have been among the debated issues. Many factors have led to the trash/recycling
decisions we have made during these past few months. I would like to explain them to
you so that you can better understand the basis for the choices we have made.
The Milton Street Public Works facility, the home of the City's in-house trash service,
is aged, in disrepair, and lacking in certain vital facilities. Council learned during the
budget process that Milton Street is the staff's top priority among all City facilities for
refurbishment. This Council is committed to providing top-notch City services and fa-
cilities for our citizens. We need to move forward on remodeling the Milton Street Pub-
lic Works facility during 1994.
We also learned during the budget process that to continue to provide trash collection
as a City service, we would need to purchase two replacement vehicles for the Public
Works department during 1994. The cost: $136,000.00. (If born equally by all users of
the system, this cost is $2.10 per month in additional fees per account.) We also learned
from our citizens that over 70% of the respondents to our Citizen Survey support
privatization of our trash service, if substantial cost savings result. Clearly, a final deci-
sion about privatization must be reached before spending $136,000.00 on trucks and
before remodeling the Public Works facility to accommodate an in-house trash collec-
tion department.
The only way to learn the actual cost of trash collection by a private firm is to develop
a bid package, specifying exactly what the service will be, and to put it out for competi-
tive bids. Council has authorized our staff to begin the development of the bid package
so that we can get some answers on privatization. Our extremely efficient Public Works
Department will be one of the "bidders" on the contract. We will see after this process is
completed just how much cost savings, if any, can be realized through privatization. But
cost savings alone will not be the deciding factor. Council will also consider the control
and flexibility we maintain with our in-house program, which would be diminished with
a private trash service. We will be free to accept any bid presented or to reject them all
and retain our own trash collection department. Development of the bid package, the
bidding process itself, and review of the bids to make a final decision are likely to re-
quire three to five months.
Trash disposal has become an issue of focus throughout Texas. As it becomes more
expensive to dispose of trash, alternatives must be sought to balance costs among citi-
zens and to encourage citizens to "reduce, reuse, and recycle." The State of Texas has
established a goal that cities reduce their trash output by 40% by January 1, 1995. Plan-
ning to meet this goal must begin now. Among the options discussed by Council and
Staff to meet this goal are:
1. Change to a volume or consumptive-based rate system. Through the use of varying
sizes of trash bins, specially manufactured trash bags, or stickers applied to bags, the
City could have a sliding scale of charges for trash service. An individual living alone
who generates only a single small bag of trash each week would pay less than a family

goods for the Mayor's Breakfast and opened
the Dugout for the sale of breakfast rolls
and coffee, Rev. Caldwell of W.U. United
Methodist Church, who gave the invoca-
tion, and countless others who helped and
lined the streets cheering on and encour-
aging the runners. Houston City Council-
woman Martha Wong, who represents that
part of Houston just to the south was
present, along with many Tenneco officials
and P.J. Leonetti, our Metro representative.
She recently brought us the good news that
Metro will contribute more than one mil-
lion dollars ($1,000,000) to our street im-
provement projects.
Again - good things are happening. Be
part of it. West U can be as great as we
want it to be with the help and support of
all of us.
Bill Watson, Mayor
Council, continued
generating several bags. Those who use the
service more pay more. Obviously, all resi-
dents would have an incentive to reduce
their trash output with this type of system;
the reward would be direct.
2. Pick up trash only one day per week
rather than two. Recycling pickup could
possibly be expanded to two days and new
recyclable materials could possibly be
added.
3. Stop picking up yard waste. Although
it is unclear whether yard waste would
"count" toward the 40% reduction, it would
result in cost savings by substantially re-
ducing the number of bags handled by trash
collectors on a daily basis. It also makes
good ecological sense.
This brings us to the issue of trash bags
supplied by the City. Cost did play a part
in our decision to discontinue supplying
trash bags, but there were other factors as
well. (If born equally by all users of the
system, the bags cost $1.25 per month per
account.) For example, if trash service is
privatized, the City will no longer supply
trash bags because the City will no longer
engage directly in trash-related activity. If
bags were supplied, they would be supplied
by the contracting firm. Also, if we were to
change our trash service to a volume-based
system, as described above, we could be-
gin using bins or special bags. In light of
these many possibilities, we thought it best
to suspend ordering additional trash bags
until we know which direction we are tak-
ing in trash collection for the long term.
Bags were distributed in December and
were not due to be delivered again until
April, by which time we hope to know more
about the future of trash pickup in West U.
By then, residents might realize this change
is not as difficult to endure as some now
seem to imagine.
Finally, let me comment on the Milton
Street recycling drop-off. Most cities have
either a drop-off recycling program or a
curbside pick-up recycling program, but not
both. Our Milton Street drop-off has been
a source of citizen complaints about its lit-
ter-strewn appearance. The drop-off re-
quires almost full-time use of a City em-
ployee, just to keep up with the debris it
creates. It has also been used by numerous
non-residents as a more convenient drop-
off than the closest Houston location - at
West U taxpayers' expense.
In light of the plans to remodel the Pub-
lic Works facility on Milton Street, the de-
cision was made to terminate the drop-off
at the start of this year. Whether or not a
new, more attractive, covered drop-off site
will be incorporated into the Milton Street
facility will depend upon the future of our
trash program in general. Motor oil is still
accepted at Milton Street for those of you
who dispose of it there.
I hope these comments will lead to a bet-
ter understanding of all of the ramifications
of our trash problems. As always, I invite
your comments and suggestions, and your
attendance at our meetings.

to Know about
Recycling Paper
Paper recycling in West U continues, bet-
ter than ever, through curbside pickup. Our
paper goes to a de-inking plant in east
Houston and is recycled into newsprint and
grocery bags. Here's how to make the best
use of the current system.
It's easy!
All of these paper products can and
should be left on the curb to be recycled:
newspaper inserts, magazines, junk mail,
phone books and paper bags.
Do NOT include the following: cereal
boxes ("paper-board") paper fused to alu-
minum foil (like drink boxes and "Instant
Breakfast" envelopes), and corrugated card-
board. (Try to remember to tear out the cel-
lophane window in envelopes. If you can't
take time, just recycle the whole thing. It's
okay.)
You can help our City employees (who
really do go the extra mile for YOU) by
preparing your curbside recycling like this:
Stack your paper as flat as possible. Wad-
ded paper looks like garbage and may be
left. Uneven bags, cause problems in the
recycling truck by wasting space and fall-
ing over. Also don't overstuff the bags con-
taining your paper - they often break when
the crew picks them up.
Please remove the plastic bags from
newspaper that you didn't read. Plastic in
the paper reduces it to "trash", and the crew
wastes precious time trying to separate your
trash
There's no reason not to
participate...
Recycle all your paper. PLEASE. It saves
limited landfill space, thus reducing the
City's costs, may prevent increased taxes,
and allows trees to continue to furnish us
with oxv2en
Thl- s
to the West U Solid Waste Department
for arranging to recycle our Christmas trees
from curbside again last year. It is a nice,
and much appreciated, tradition to allow
us to keep our trees through the entire
"Twelve Days of Christmas", through
Epiphany, January 6th.

Hear that sucking sound? No, it is not the economy, but it may be the ground water
under West University. Subsidence, the sinking of the ground surface due to excessive
ground water withdrawals, continues under our City.
Easily recognized results of subsidence in West University include:
Increased flooding potential;
Decreased rate of storm water run-off; and
Increased potential for house foundation failure due to differential settling of
the ground.
Through its upcoming conversion to a combined use of ground water and surface wa-
ter, West University will be taking steps to reduce the rate of subsidence and its effects in
our community.
The ground water source for the greater Houston area is derived primarily from two
aquifers, the Chicot and Evangeline. These aquifers are located several hundred feet
below the ground surface and have been prolific sources of ground water for the Gulf
Coast area. However, the region's increasing demand for water has caused the water
levels of these aquifers to drop as much as 100 feet in some areas.
A water level decline within an aquifer results in a reduced supply of available water
until the rate of withdrawal is reduced. Data from aquifer studies confirm the positive
effect of water level recoveries as a result of less withdrawal. As the Houston-Galveston
area as a whole moves from relying so heavily on ground water to using a combination
of ground water and surface water, the water levels in both the Chicot and Evangeline
will recover further, thereby extending the lives of these vital resources.
Excessive withdrawal of ground water not only depletes an aquifer's supply of water, it
also causes subsidence. In next month's issue of City Currents, we will discuss what o,%'
City has done to help solve this problem.
From the Chair!
I have very much enjoyed receiving calls
from West U's concerned citizens regard-
ing "garbage" and recycling issues. As the
changes in the system during 1994 affect
your lives, please feel free to call me to dis-
cuss (pros and cons) the good and bad as-
pects, as you see them. The West U Recy-
cling Committee will continue to gather
your input to be discussed with the City
Council.

Better ay to Reuse Books!
In an effort to restock schools and librar-
ies following the devastating floods in the
Midwest, Mensa has developed a program
called "A Flood of Books" to gather un-
used or discarded books from around the
country and deliver them to the areas most
in need. If you can contribute books (hard-
backs preferred, soft covers okay) in like-
new condition; call Erich Adolph at his
office, 570-9195. He will arrange for them
to be picked up.
Crime Up Close - December
Aggravated Robbery
5820 Kirby - On December 29, at 1:00
pm, an unknown white male entered the
Block Buster Video store and showed the
manager a pistol, demanding money from
the cash register. The suspect left on foot.
5810 Kirby - On December 30, at 7:00
pm a black male entered Just Yogurt, told
the clerk that he had a gun in his coat
pocket and demanded money. The suspect
has not been identified at this time. His
description is similar to an individual that
robbed the Kwik Copy in the Village, in
January.
Attempted Burglary of Residence
2803 Sunset - During the afternoon of
December 2, an unknown individual re-
moved a glass window and wooden frame
from the residence. No entry was made
o the house.
,urglary of Business
6727 Stella Link - Between December 24
and 27, an unknown suspect entered the
unlocked rear door of the Hair Hut and took
a small amount of money from a desk
drawer.
Burglary of Building
2821 Quenby - Between December 4 and
5, a bicycle was taken from a garage with
the door left open.
4002 Amherst - On December 11, an un-
known individual stole a bicycle from a
garage.
2639 Carolina Way - During the evening
of December 12, an unknown suspect took
a bicycle from a garage where the door had
been left open.
2819 Plumb - During the night and morn-
ing of December 18, an unknown suspect
took a bicycle from a garage where the door
had been left open.
3015 Amherst - During the night of De-
cember 24, an unknown suspect entered a
garage where the door had been left open
d took a cellular phone from an unlocked
r parked inside.
4022 Southwestern - During the night of
December 26, an unknown suspect pulled
open a security gate across a driveway and
entered a garage where the door had been
open. An expensive racing bicycle was
complained about insurance rates and that
we should only give teenagers warnings
because the cost of his insurance will rise.
One class of individuals shouldn't be
treated any different than others. In the
case of teenagers, it really isn't logical to
give teenagers the impression that they are
not held responsible for their actions, just
because of immaturity. When a teenager
sits behind the wheel of a car, that teen-
ager is engaging in an adult activity. That
teenager, being engaged in an adult activ-
ity, should be responsible for his actions as
an adult. Today's society is just too dan-
gerous for anyone to take irresponsible ac-
tions. Yes, we were all kids at one point in
time. But, things which we did or friends
did can have serious consequences in
today's world that has an increased toler-
ance for violence.
Here is the point. We simply don't treat
any one group of individuals any different
than another. On traffic stops, a resident
is just as likely to get a citation as a non-
resident; a teenager as an adult; a non-
minority as a minority. An officer's dis-
cretion is governed by his or her assign-
ment or the circumstances of the incident,
not who the individual may or may not be.
For teenagers who receive citations, some
options may be available through the Mu-
nicipal Court. Instead of paying a citation,
an individual may opt for defensive driv-
ing if that option has not been previously
exercised in the last year. The Municipal
Court has also established a teen court.
Teen court is not a right, but within the
discretion of the Judge of the Municipal
Court. If the Judge feels that the youth
could benefit from this program, then the
youth will be required to attend a certain
number of court sessions determined by the
seriousness of the offense. Teen court par-
ticipants assist the court clerk in her du-
ties. Assignment to teen court is depen-
dent on the teenager's attitude toward the
violation and the court process. Defensive
driving and/or teen court provides an op-
portunity for teenagers to learn from their
mistakes and not have a traffic citation
listed on their driving record.

Police Chief's Corner
During the Christmas holiday, I talked
with a parent who was upset because his
teenage son had received a traffic ticket for
spinning vehicle tires. The father was told
by the son that he had not committed the
infraction and that the tires on his dad's
Suburban only made noise because the ve-
hicle was fully loaded. In talking with the
midnight shift supervisor, I learned that the
officers had been responding to a resident
complaint of three vehicles that were spin-
ning tires and running stop signs. The of-
ficer responding to the call saw the three
vehicles which promptly turned in differ-
ent directions to get away from the patrol
unit. The one vehicle, which the officer
caught, spun his tires going around a cor-
ner in an attempt to get away. When I ex-
plained this to the father, he became en-
raged. He stated that the West University
Police were too tough on teenagers. He

Roundup
Please watch out for the crack filling
machine as it rolls around the City. The
wet asphalt dries in about 90 seconds but it
remains sticky for about 10 minutes. So if
you see the trucks, it is probably best if you
detour around. The Christmas tree pickup
went according to plan. Over 4200 trees
were mulched in a 5 day period. Thanks to
all residents who participated.
Cold weather is here, so pay special at-
tention to your house pipes. If you are con-
templating leaving your residence for any
period of time, contact the water division
and have them turn your water off. Water
leaks can be costly to everyone, so if you
see one, please report it to the division at
662-5839.
Helpful Flints
Pruning time is coming so it may be help-
ful to check with your landscape profession-
als to see when to prune certain plants. The
City still has plenty of mulch and its free.
The City also has free pickup of tree
branches if they are cut in 4 foot lengths
and stacked curbside.
