Fogler On Miscellany this month. First, many of you have no doubt been ensnared in the traffic mess on Buffalo Speedway between Bissonnet and the Southwest Freeway and have wondered about the scope of the various projects underway there. Let me fill in a few of the blanks. Fronting on Buffalo will be a new sig- nature Kroger store and a free-stand- ing Walgreen's. (As if you did not al- ready know this part.) Along the ac- cess road of the Southwest Freeway between Edloe and Buffalo is a 45,000 square foot retail center, plus two free- standing restaurant pads of about 45,000 square feet apiece. (Chili's is obviously already open for business.) Another new small retail area will be developed along the east side of Buffalo next to Luby's and the new retirement center. The apartment complex along Westpark and Edloe will be a four story develop- ment housing 420 units. As you can see, we will have many new neighbors, both residential and com- mercial, and, likely, additional traffic congestion as a result. On a positive note, the developers are planning to beautify the esplanade on Buffalo be- tween the freeway and Bissonnet, so at least it will be pretty to look at while you sit in your car waiting to inch for- ward. Second, Council acted in May to de- criminalize that heinous act of placing your compost at the curb in plastic bags. Instead of a citation, offenders will now receive a special collection notice and be charged a $15 pick-up fee plus $1 per bag for the service. When com- post is in plastic bags, the firm which accepts it from us free-of-charge if it is in paper bags, will not take it at all. City employees must therefore dump out the plastic bags into a truck and deliver it separately, an extra service that is costly to provide. Treating it as a special col- lection will enable us to recoup the costs we incur when individuals fail to bag their compost properly and will keep the is- sue out of the municipal court system. Third, as part of the effort to enhance West U's unique identity, we have been given permission by the United States Postal Service to identify our city as West University Place, Texas, on our mail. One caution, however. The full name of our town must be used or the opportunity for confusion with other "uni- versity" towns is heightened. Discus- sions with the Postal Service are con- tinuing with the long-range goal of se- curing our own zip code. Fourth, in response to a suggestion made by the Neighborhood Safety Board, we will institute a bicycle patrol (police officers on bicycles) in late sum- mer or early fall of this year. In the in- terim we will develop policies and pro- cedures for the officers, involved offic- ers will complete the state mandated training program, and all necessary equipment will be procured. We antici- pate the bike patrol will enable officers to become more connected with resi- dents through daily, direct contact and will permit swift, silent response to crimes in progress. Finally, I invite you to join us on Mon- day, June 15 at 7 putt in the Community Building for the next town hall meeting in our comprehensive planning process. The topic for the evening will be the enhancement and creation of a unique identity for West U through graphics (street signs, logo, etc.) and fixtures (light standards, fencing, gateways, etc.). It promises to be an interactive, enjoyable evening, as we consider various styles of fixtures and signs and try to deter- mine which have that "West U" look. If you have opinions about your home town, this is a great opportunity to ex- press them. See you there! Answers to questions your Way back in January during the Town Meeting on Good Neighbor laws, several residents submitted written questions about City ordinances and poli- cies. Rather than take the time that night;, to answer the questions, a follow-up re- port was promised for City Currents. Jeers to us for failing to keep our word. We were recently reminded of our commitment by a resident who attended the meeting. So here's the first question and we'll devote the next issue of City Currents to answering all of them. Q. In regards to garbage/yard trash at curbside at designated times ...what if your yard workers put out the trash too early, even though the homeowner told the yard contractor not to put the trash out at the curb before 6:00 PM? Will we still be charged on our water bill for this infraction? A. Yes. Occupants and owners of property have the responsibility for the placement of solid and yard waste for collection.

Help us get them before they get us It's that time of year for mosquitoes and, not only are they a nuisance, there is one species that can spread St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE). That's why the City does its part to minimize the mosquito popula- tion during the summer months by spray- ing the neighborhoods weekly from April until October. But although spraying is helpful, it's much less effective than most people think. Local mosquito experts estimate that such spraying kills as few e~ ©o ~ a ®c m o~ e a~ o o e b Whitt Johnson Park o e Joie us for hot dogs and lemonade oat Whitt Johnson Park, 3012 a a 1°Iotcir~r;haln, on Sunday, June 7 from 4-6 PM.

What can we do about the other 90%? The answer is to try to keep them from being born. That's where we need your help. We need you to get to know your prop- erty as well as the mosquitoes do. Find out where on your property water collects and is stagnate. A few places to check are roof gutters, catch basins, bird baths and street curbs. It is important that there not be any amount of stagnate water for mosqui- toes. They only need an inch or two of water to breed, and during the summer mosquitoes can grow from an egg to an adult in as little as four days. If you have standing water that can't be swept away or dumped out, report it to the City and we will address the problem. We will do everything we can on our end, but our efforts will not work unless we have cooperation from you. Mosquitoes are everyone's problem, and it will take everyone working to- gether to fight them effectively. It cot, 1V '0, .11,!7 en to you By: Lt. Eddie Harrold During the past 15 months, the West U Police Department received numer- ous reports on forgeries and credit card abuses. In 99 percent of the forgery cases, checks ordered from the bank were sto- len from the resident's mail. West U detectives believe that a postal employee is stealing the checks due to fact that the majority of residents have mail slots in their doors. It is believed that the postal employee steals the checks and then sells them to the people who are forging them. Detectives have made several arrests in these cases and during their investi- gation learned that the checks are being sold in bars in the Montrose area. De- tectives are currently working with the postal inspectors office to learn the iden- tity of the person inside the post office. One way of protecting yourself from this type of crime is to have your checks delivered to the bank and you pick them up from there. Also, you should check your bank balance periodically, and im- mediately report any deficiencies to your bank. Unsolicited applications for new credit cards and blank credit card checks are are often sent to residents who use credit cards. If you receive an applica- tion or check that you will not use, be sure to destroy them prior to throwing them in the trash. Crooks have been known to retrieve information from one's garbage. J RecyleXpress only accepts types #1 and #2 plastics. How can you tell if your plastic is 41 or #2? Look on the bot- tom of the container. Most recyclable plastic has a triangular emblem: three arrows encircling a number 1 to 7. Common # 1 and #2 plastics are soft drink bottles, milk cartons, and laundry detergent bottles. The center is conveniently located at 5004 Dincans (at Westpark) and is open seven days a week, 24-hours a day. 4 EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT = -i.-,:- A tale of a program The 1998 Summer Reading Program, a club for readers ' and listeners, got underway on Tuesday, May 26 and will run through Sunday, August 2, 1998. To register your child, complete a reg- istration form and drop it into the regis- tration box at the Harris County Branch Library, 6108 Auden. Then take a read- ing log home and list the books the child reads or has read to them. After ten books or 500 pages have been read, the child will earn a certificate. But don't stop there! Encourage your child to continue reading and enjoying books for the rest of the summer. Happy reading!

This month's spotlight features City Secretary, Kaylynn (Kay) Holloway. Kay grew up in Conroe and graduated from Conroe High School. She contin- ued her studies at the University of Texas at Austin where she earned a bachelors degree in Business Adminis- tration. Kay moved to West U in 1990 and in 1992 was appointed City Secretary. Current mayor, Teresa Fogler, said, "Kay truly exemplifies the customer service philosophy of West University Place. She responds quickly and cheer- fully to citizens inquiries, keeps the Coun- cil and I fully informed on all matters that cross her desk, and eargerly fulfills her responsibilities as our City Secretary. Her warm smile and absolute profes- sionalism are always on display." Kay has two children, Keri and Jus- tin. Keri is a 15-year-old junior at Lamar and Justin, 13, will be an 8th grader at Pershing next year. When asked what she likes about working here, Kay replied, "I like the upbeat attitudes of the other employees. They are a great group of people to work with. The residents are also wonderful. I never met a resident I didn't like." When not at work, Kay enjoys aero- bics, running and rollerblading, and watching her kids play sports. She also enjoys watching professional sports of any kind on television and in the arenas. Kay's favorite pasttime is traveling, especially to snowy slopes and sandy beaches. -(City offices will " be closed on Friday, July 3. 1 Trash pick-up: will resume on next scheduled 3 day. A r--. When the Allen brothers began to pro- mote their fledgling town of Houston in 1836, they made some pretty outlandish claims. Advertisements touting Hous- ton to readers in the northern United States and Europe painted a vivid pic- ture of a settled city of beautiful homes and churches, surrounded by flowing hills and streams-a city that was go- ing places. Disillusioned settlers who were at- tracted by the outlandish boasts of the brothers found, instead, a village of tents and muddy streets, rife with yellow fe- ver and cholera, sitting on relentlessly flat, boggy land beside the Buffalo Bayou. West Packers The West U Softball Association con- tinued its success in area competition when the West U Packers took first place in a field of 14 teams in the Hous- ton Metro Recreational Softball Tour- nament (14 & under fast pitch) the weekend of May 15-17.

The man- ager of a local business reported that Chiefs r ly Acti."swl,aaLic~CA-f 6a_Y gt>e Normally, around-this time of year, the police department receives more and more calls' concerning problems with animals, specifically mans best friend. Most calls are complaints about dogs running around without a leash and running through neighbors' yards. Maybe that's because most people are unware that it is unlawful to allow a dog to run at large within the city at anytime, even in one's own front yard. This means that if a dog is (i) free, (ii) outside a secure enclsoure, and (3) without a securely attached leash held by a person that can control the dog, the law is being violated. Maybe residents are also unaware that it's unlawful for a dog to be in any City park, including the ball fields, even if it is on a leash. In addition, it is the responsibility of each dog owner or person in posses- sion of a dog, to pick up and dispose of all droppings left during the course ofexcerising or walking the dog. So please be a responsible pet owner. Your dog will appreciate it and West t_7 will be a safer, cleaner place! Have a happy and safe summer.
