What do you tin
You said you wanted to be
asked and you will.
As part of the City's com-
prehensive plan update, we
will be mailing out a survey
to you in the near future.
The City's Steering Committee will be
developing a survey to find out your
opinions on sidewalks, adding new po-
lice officers, street lights, STOP signs,
traffic calming, Colonial Park expansion,
the library and a host of other issues.
The survey will be used as the City
completes the final draft of the plan and
before public hearings are held later in
the year.
For those that haven't been able to
attend the town meetings, this is your
chance to tell us things you like about
West U and what we need to do to make
it better for the future,
The survey will take about 10 minutes
to complete and will include a postage
paid return.
Survey results will be tabulated and
provided to the citizen Steering Com-
mittee later in the spring.

Volume 26, No. 3 March 1999
Insl*de Council Chambers
~r
The time has come for me to address
personally some misinformation that
was generated by a brief piece of our
area publications over a year ago. The
erroneous story has since grown horns
and reappeared in letters to the news-
papers, letters to me, and telephone
calls. The story to which I refer falsely
asserted that I am "uncomfortable with
prayer" and that I sent the City Bible
which had been used to swear in every
Mayor and Council in our history off to
the Historical Society for safekeeping.
Neither claim is true.
At the start of my term as Mayor, I
did lead a prayer to begin our Council
meetings. It was very difficult for me
because I was not raised to have my
private conversations with God in pub-
lic and I have never received any call-
ing to minister to others in this very pub-
lic way. I asked the other members of
Council if one of them would be inter-
ested in taking on this role, but they felt
as I did about the matter.
We discussed asking area ministers to
lead the prayer for us, but that had been
attempted during my prior years on
Council and we knew it would not be a
long term solution. We discussed sub-
stituting a moment of silence for prayer,
but it seemed a poor substitute to me.
Setting aside a ritualistic silence as if
that is the only opportunity a person
would have to commune with God is sim-
ply unnecessary for a person who
chooses daily, and sometimes even
hourly, to thank God for His blessings
and to ask for His guidance. In the end,
we decided to proceed without a public
prayer. This decision has been misin-
terpreted, I think, as a denunciation of
prayer, which was never our intention.
The infamous Bible, which had not
been used in many years, was found
gathering dust on the shelves of the City
By: Mayor Teresa W. Fogler
Secretary's office as she packed up
some items for storage. Rather than ship
it off to storage, she astutely decided to
forward it to the Historical Society for
safekeeping. It was not a decision that
involved Council in any way. A newer
Bible has been in use in the City for a
number of years. And, just for informa-
tion, I have been sworn in twice as a
Council member and once as Mayor. On
none of these occasions was any Bible
used as part of the process. If an overt
decision was made at some point in our
history to dispense with the Bible in the
swearing-in ceremony, it was made by
a Council before my time or by a previ-
ous City Manager.
A recent letter I received has prompted
me to respond to this issue at this time.
This letter, unlike the other very judg-
mental and accusatory letters I had re-
ceived and read in the newspaper in the
past (mostly anonymous, of course),
asked in a reasoned and heartfelt way
that we reinstate the prayer before our
meetings. Making an opening prayer
part of our meetings again will only de-
pend upon having someone available to
lead the prayer. I have invited the kind
authors of this letter to serve our City in
this way and I invite other citizens to do
the same. If you are interested, please
contact the City Secretary at

J working with HL&P/Re-
liant to upgrade street lighting through-
out the City.
According to City Manager Sherman
Yehl, the lighting improvements will be
completed in two phases.
Phase I calls for the installation of 39
additional lights in the College Court
area. These will be overhead bracket
type street lights placed on existing wood
poles and will use 100 watt high pres-
sure sodium lights.
"We met with College Court residents
in January," said Yehl. "A major con-
cern voiced at the meeting was the lack
of lighting in the area."
A map prepared by HL&P shows that
there is huge spacing between lights, as
much as 350' on some streets. This con-
trasts with the north side of Law Street
in the City of Houston which has spac-
ing about every 100'.
"We see the 39 additional lights as a
temporary measure," said Yehl. "We
need to take a look at the entire lighting
needs of the City. We have been told
that we may need to double the number
of lights in the City to ensure at least a
minimum lighting standard."
Phase II is also an interim measure to
replace about 300 old mercury vapor
lights with high pressure sodium lights.
"While the tree canopies will continue
to block some of the light, the HPS light-
ing will provide some immediate improve-
ment," Yehl noted.
HL&P will have private crews work-
ing on the street lights over the next 30
days.
Overall lighting will be considered as
part of the comprehensive plan update.

EMPLOYEE IN
THE SPOTLIGHT
This month's Employee in the Spotlight
is Christopher Castillo. Chris has been
employed as a Telecommunicator in the
police department since December
1997. He is the voice you hear on the
telephone when calling the police depart-
ment late in the evening after normal
business hours. Chris' responsibilities
include handling incoming calls of an
emergency and non-emergency nature,
monitoring the police radio and alarm
equipment, and dispatching officers to
calls for service.
On his own time, Chris attends a po-
lice academy and studies to be a police
officer. Once asked, "What was the
most memorable call you ever handled
at the police department?" Chris replied,
"Just about one month after I completed
mytraining and was working on my own
I got a call from a resident saying some-
one was choking. I dispatched the am-
bulance and then was able to talk them
through the Heimlich maneuver and
helped save their life."
During his offtime, Chris enjoys spend-
ing time with his wife and watching
sports. He especially likes watching and
playing basketball.
When asked what he likes best about
West University Place, Chris responded,
"The people are community oriented and
really want to help the police do their
job." We at the police department are
proud to have an individual such as Chris
working with us.

Twvc deferral option available
Elderly homeowners
who are having trouble
meeting their property tax
obligations may benefit
<_1 7T
from a special over-65
tax deferral option.
Under the deferral provision, an over-
65 homeowner may defer payment of
current property taxes until he or she
no longer owns or occupies the home
as a residence.
"Property taxes continue to accrue
during the deferral period, and are as-
sessed interest at the rate of eight per
cent year," said Jim Robinson, the Har-
ris County Appraisal District's chief
appraiser. He noted, however, that once
an over-65 deferral has been granted,
additional charges cannot be levied for
delinquent tax penalty and interest.
Over-65 homeowners in Harris
County may obtain a deferral by filing
an affidavit with the Harris County Ap-
praisal District at 2800 North Loop West
in Houston. HCAD will then notify each
affected taxing unit, such as the county,
city, school district, or other entity that a
tax deferral has been granted.
Robinson stressed that the deferral
option doesn't eliminate property taxes
for the elderly, but merely postpones
when the taxes must be paid.
"Individuals who plan to leave their
home to heirs or to sell it need to be
aware of this fact. Also, those who have
a mortgage on their home should check
with the mortgage company to make
certain the deferral doesn't violate terms
of the deed of trust," added Robinson.
The over-65 deferral affidavit may be
filed any time after the homeowner turns
65, There is no filing deadline.

During the early 1990's West U resi-
dents took the initiative and formed
the Neighborhood Watch Program.
Volunteers served as Block Captains
and helped neighbors get to know
each other. Unfortunately, as time
passed, people lost interest in the pro-
gram.
The police department is committed
to reviving the program. However,
we would like to take a somewhat dif-
ferent approach. While Security and
~eiting to larow yoztr- neighbor s will
remain essential parts of 'he program,
a different philosophy will be pro- .
rooted. We would like the program
to focus on caring, concern, and con-
sideration for each other. The West
U community is age diverse. The eld-
erly population lives side by side to
residents raising families. Needs and
concerns of the residents differ. With
the revived program, the goal will be
to address and communicate these
values to each other.

tigation.
5800 Kirby - January 6. A local busi-
ness owner reported a possible credit
card abuse. The suspect claimed to be
a designer with several customers who
would pay directly with their own credit
cards. She would not accept the
charges without signatures. The first
order was put on one credit card which
the suspect claimed was his. When a
second order was ready for pickup the
police were waiting, but the suspect
didn't show. The business owner placed
a 911 call the next day when the sus-
pect arrived to pick up his merchandise
and he was arrested. The suspect also
had an outstanding warrant issued by
Harris County for credit card abuse and
a probation violation warrant from Fort
Bend County for fraud. Suspect ar-
rested; case closed.
6600 Belmont - January 9. A resi-
dent advised that her bank statement

to find the employee responsible for this
forgery. Case pending further informa-
tion.

6300 Rutgers - January 18. A resi-
dent called to report that her neighbor
was shooting at someone. It was dis-
covered that as a resident was taking
his belongings out of his car, two His-
panic males asked him for directions.
Then the men ran toward him with a gun
and demanded his wallet and keys which
he gave them. As the suspects got into
a dark colored car to drive away, the
resident took from his car a gun (for
which he has a concealed handgun li-
cense) and fired at the fleeing vehicle.
It is not known if it was hit. The sus-
pects are described as being between
16 and 20 years of age, about 57" to
5'9", and weighed about 140 pounds.
One was wearing a dark sweatshirt and
one was wearing lighter colored cloth-
ing. A third person was driving the ve-
hicle. Turned over to the detectives for
further investigation.
4000 Arnold -January 21. A resi-
dent called 911 after being robbed in his
driveway. While in his garage, he was
approached by an Hispanic male, about
57" with a medium build, wearing a
white jogging suit and a black mask on
his face. The suspect held a gun and
demanded the homeowner's wallet and
keys. After giving these items to the

intruder then ran toward Weslayan and
then north on Weslayan. Turned over

tion.

couple to turn around and walk away.
They complied. They heard the sus-
pects get into a vehicle and drive away
in an unknown direction. Turned over
to the detectives for further investiga-
tion.

dent reported that two Latin males were
stealing roofing shingles from his home

apprehended the suspects. Both men
were taken into custody and charged
with Theft. Case closed.
3900 Bellaire - January 9. A busi-
ness owner advised that while waiting
on a customer at the front register, a
White male, approximately 14 to 16
years of age, yelled that he was stealing

to sponsor this technology-based edu-
cation conservation program directed
at elementary students within the Hous-
ton-Galveston Area Subsidence District.
In return for the sponsorship, the City
will receive 24 million gallons in ground-
water credits that the City can use to
reduce the amount of surface water it
must purchase. This amount equals
about 15 percent of the City's annual
groundwater allowance.
The education program consists of 15
activities usually taught over a two
week period.

No matter how hard we try to keep track of all the things we are responsible for doing, occasionally there
is work that drops through the cracks. We need to know about it. Tell us if there is work that needs to be
done on your street, in your neighborhood, or anywhere around Nest U. Tell us about the problem and
where it is. Help us do a better job and we'll all try to make West U a better community!
