HomeMy WebLinkAboutFebruarye' DS1 UNWEQ(SITY Volume 25, No. 2 Dogs, Sidewalks and Good Neighbors by Council Member Tony Davis A town meeting was held Wednes- day, January 21, to discuss establishing a comprehensive good neighbor en- forcement policy. Despite thunder, lightning and torrential rain, the Com- munity Center was filled to standing room only with citizens wishing to be heard. Comments received ranged from complaints about motorists who speed, fail to stop at stop signs, and park on sidewalks. Citizens also complained about leaf blowers and people who walk their dogs and fail to clean up after them. A handful of people complained about possible violations of the city's drainage ordinance. Citizens wisely advised City Council to go slow on ordinances that may be hard to enforce, and to enact ordi- nances, or not, with an appreciation of the culture of the City. Citizens also asked that they continue to be allowed to jog or walk on the streets, and re- quested that the City take steps to im- prove the quality of our sidewalks. The many comments offered at this meeting, both verbal and written, will provide City Council with an extremely valuable starting point in its goal to re- examine our City's good neighbor ordi- nances. This re-examination will require time, additional information and due de- liberation and discussion at workshop meetings of the City Council. Without prejudging any of these issues, I did come away from the meeting with three initial impressions. First, as was expressed by one citizen at the meeting, if these are the most significant prob- lems West U faces, we are indeed for- (Continued on page 2) A day, worth celebrating February 1998 ms' ~Happy c Valentiney, Day 0 F J, West moves to permanent registration of pets In an effort to streamline West University's pet registration process, Council recently passed an ordinance requiring permanent registration of your pets. Rather than requiring annual re- newals and annual fees, one trip to city hall will register your pet for life. "We need a permanent identification system that would require one-time registration and will withstand the elements over time. Although we would prefer that owners choose to implant their pets with identifying microchips because the chips cannot be lost or removed, we are sen- sitive to the fact that some owners will prefer a permanent tag instead. The choice will be made by the owner," said (Continued on page 3) At the celebration forArbor Day and the Reopening of Judson Park on Saturday, January 17, one of West U's younger residents got a personal tip from Smokey the Bear about the importance of planting and preserving trees.

I applaud this innovative thinking on the part of our City staff. They have crafted a solution which solves the original prob- lem of trash on the streets in a non-pu- nitive, service-oriented manner. And they have done so without an expendi- ture of tax dollars. On a related topic, I received an anonymous letter this week from a resi- dent who describes herself as an eld- erly widow complaining about the new brown bags we are using for compost disposal. First, it is extremely frustrat- ing to receive a complaint from an indi- vidual who will not identify himself or herself. It is impossible to be respon- sive. Often, the unowned complaint is easier to dismiss. I do not, however, want to dismiss her complaint, and its anonym- ity gives me an opportunity to plead with you to always identify yourself in com- munications with the City because of- ten there is a solution to your problem, but we cannot communicate that to you if we do not know who you are. Second, on the subject of requiring brown paper bags for compost disposal, 546M dw n4ym 1 By: Mayor Teresa Fogler For several months, we have been attempting to enforce an ordinance mandating that garbage not be placed at the curb prior to noon on the day be- fore your scheduled pick-up. Many residents have complained about the unsightliness of trash at the curb and the health hazards it presents. To date, 597 warnings and 41 citations have been issued to residents in violation of this ordinance. Many are repeat violators. Unfortunately, after the police officer leaves, having issued a warning or cita- tion, the garbage remains at the curb and continues to offend neighbors until pick-up day. In other words, the solu- tion does not seem to be addressing the heart of the problem. Our world-class staff resolved to come up with a solution that would solve the problem- remove the trash -while not penalizing those residents who com- ply with the ordinance in question. In January, Council passed a new ordi- nance which establishes a special pick- up for trash placed at the curb too early. If a resident places trash at the curb before the permitted time, our public works department will consider it a re- quest for special services, remove the trash, and charge the offending resident for the special, unscheduled pick-up. The fee will be set to cover the cost to the City for providing the service, mean- ing that no tax dollars will support this program. Only the residents who use the service will pay for it. The fee will be added automatically to your monthly West U bill. At the same time, Council shortened the amount of time your trash can le- gally sit at the curb. Garbage now may not be placed at the curb prior to six PM on the day before your scheduled pick- up. This change will facilitate the spe- cial service pick-up as well as keep trash (Good neighbors continued from page I) tunate. Second, it may be economically difficult to address a number of these problems through stricter enforcement. We might accomplish more if we each dedicate ourselves to being good citizens and good neighbors and encourage the same behavior in others. Finally, two issues received the most comments. The first is the desire by many citizens to be allowed to walk or jog on the streets. Second, many of these same citizens and others expressed com- plaints about the condition of our city's Page 2 (Continued on page 3) sidewalks. There is a state law that af- fects both issues. That law says: "A pedestrian may not walk along and on a roadway if an adjacent sidewalk is provided. " This law implies that West U is to make a choice: Either get rid of sidewalks and allow citizens to continue to walk on the streets, or fix and main- tain decent sidewalks, and require that people use them. Making a choice, or avoiding the need to make the choice, are issues that City Council will address. As always, your comments are welcome.

I will reiterate that use of the bags elimi- nates our cost for disposal of the com- post. We do not reap merely a reduc- tion in the fees. The company which takes our compost, takes it in at no charge to the City if it is clean and in brown paper bags rather than plastic bags. (Clean means only grass, leaves, and small twigs can be in the bags). We would not be doing our jobs if we did not avail ourselves of opportunities to sig- nificantly reduce costs, while maintain- ing the level of the services we provide. Third, for those elderly residents who have difficulty getting their bags to the curb on the assigned day, there are many solutions: Ours is a city of neighbors, most of whom would gladly tote your bags to the curb as they tote their own. Ours is also a city of renown service. If you cannot physically get your trash or compost to the curb, please call the pub- lic works department. It is possible that they can arrange a special service for you. Ours is also a city with a new rei cycling center.

(Mayor's Column - continued from page 2) (Microchipping - continued from page I) city manager Sherman Yehl. According to Roger Messick, West U's animal control officer, "The great- est advantage of the microchip is that it permanently identifies your pet as be- longing to you, which greatly increases the chance that your pet will be returned to you if it is ever lost or stolen." Microchipping is encouraged by the American Veterinary Medical Associa- tion and the American Kennel Club be- cause the information on the chip is logged into a national registry. If you are traveling with your pet and it gets lost in a city other than West U, the chip will help get your pet back home. An external tag does not provide the same level of protection. In the next issue of City Currents, we will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about microchipping. In the meantime, if you have questions you'd like to ask, call the animal control officer at 662.5853. in paper bags at the center. The indi- vidual who bags the compost for you could then drop it off for you at the cen- ter. Ours is also a city of problem solvers, as clearly established at the outset of this article. Since the individual who wrote to me has her yard mowed on trash pick-up day, she could ask her yard man to move last week's bags to the curb when he arrives to do this week's work. She would have to endure al- lowing the bags to sit for a week, but, unlike trash, sitting compost does not present a health problem. I cannot of- fer herthis solution personally, however, because I do not know who she is. I only hope the author reads this column and avails herself of one of these viable solutions. In the future, I hope all resi- dents will take their complaints seriously enough to own them by signing their names. ® 0 a a a a a a a a 0 a 0 a 0 a a 0 a s 0 a a a a a a a a a 0 a 0 a a e 0 a 0 0.0 ® a e Park Partners o ® Many thanks to the following West U citizens a who purchased a paver to be placed in a ® West U Park: • a a a ® Richard and Lynn Sarsky a a ® For a cost of f 300 per pa ver you too can become a Whst U Park Partner.

Ron was hired by the public works depart- ment as the City's mechanic five years ago. Ron, who currently lives in the Windson Subdivision of northwest Houston, was born in 1952 in Great Bend, Kansas. He lived there until 1990 when he moved to Houston. In Kansas, Ron was a driller in the Kansas oil fields. When the wells went dry and oil prices went down, the sporadic work led him to Houston. He hopes by working for the City, he will never have to endure that insecurity again. "The steadiness and safety of working at the City are my favorite as- pects of the job," Ron said. Ron has been married for 8 years to his wife, Maria, who is anative of Cuba. In fact, his pride in his wife was quite apparent from his readiness to talk about all of her accomplishments at an inter- view to spotlight him! Ron got his nickname because he has the ability to handle the multitude and variety of work in the City with a single hand. According to public works di- rector, Edward Menville, "Ron has an excellent attitude about his work. He gives 110% and does his job well. He is a valuable asset to all the departments and we consider ourselves lucky to have such a competent and capable employee working for the City." Ron often wears out other employees with his seemingly unending energy. It doesn't receive the hype of Christ- mas or the emotion of Mother's Day, but a new holiday is celebrating its fourth anniversary- Spay Day USA. In just three years, over 150,000 dogs and cats have been spayed or neutered on this special day, preventing millions of un- wanted animal births and needless euthenasia. Spay Day USA is a national campaign to reduce the tragedy of pet overpopu- lation and will be celebrated on Febru- ary 24. West U is among hundreds of communities joining together to promote the spaying and neutering dogs and cats. "The numbers are simply staggering," according to Animal % . - Control Officer Roger Messick. "In the Houston metro- politan area alone, Pleas get we euthanize more your pet than 80,000 un- spayed or wanted dogs and neutered cats a year." Messick urges residents to ha their dogs or cats spayed or neutered by a local veterinarian. "We can prevent the euthanasia of un- wanted animals, but only if we all pull together and take responsibility for this social tragedy," said Messick. ®s and Cats e+' by the NUFriESGi N umber of cats one female cat and her offspring 420,000 can produce in seven years >Number of dogs one female dog and her offspring 67,000 can produce in six years 'Number of Dogs and cats euthanized each in year in 10,000,000 shelters Percent of dogs entering' shelters euthanized 61% ~=Percent of cats entering shelters euthanized 75% ~G~o~'u~xlLy,.5,7~eak.~sr; L 11 r~ L _0 The West University Place Historical Society plans two upcoming events you will not want to miss. On Wednesday, February 11 at 7:00 PM at Lucia's Garden, corner of West Alabama and Virginia Streets, Michael Bettler will present a program on Herbs of Texas (culinary and medicinal). He will also review a 1946 article from the magazine Home Gardening for the South, entitled Vegetable Garden Wins Award. The article reports on an All- Horticulture Show sponsored by the West U Garden Club. The winner of the show was Mrs. Allen B. White of the Sunset Terrace Garden Group, with her Model Vegetable Garden. On Sunday, March 8 beginning at 2:00 PM, a walking tour of the Pemberton Addition (bordered by Kirby, Wakeforest, University and Centenary) will be held. This addition was developed beginning in the 1930's. The tour will feature his- torical, social and architectural tidbits on the homes and the people who lived in them in the early days of the addition. Tickets are already on sale for $3. More detailed information on the tour will be published in the next issue of City Cur rents.
