The front park will be closed starting on Monday September 23, 2013. Our electrical contractor will be trenching and installing conduit for the ADT security camera system the board voted to install. During this closure please use the back park.

The front park will again be closed on or about September 30, 2013 for the removal of the playground equipment as the slides and many of the panels are damaged and can't be repaired.

The playground equipment in the back park will be removed and replaced with new larger equipment. The exact date for the installation is not yet set but we hope to have an update soon.

    

The security report for the month of August 2013 is now available.    

If you have any security problems please contact the Harris County Sheriff's Department.

******A note from your HOA******
The Oakwood Glen deed restriction guidelines have not changed with this latest service change. All garbage cans should be placed at the curb no sooner than 6:00pm the night before the scheduled pickup and should be retrieved and placed out of sight by the end of the pickup day. On non-collection days, trash containers should be stored inside the garage, house, storage building or behind a fence. It is up to each homeowner to keep the neighborhood looking pleasant.

Back in April we posted a notice concerning deed restriction enforcement and who to contact with deed restriction issues. We have also filed a Deed Restriction Enforcement Policy with the county clerk of Harris County Texas. This policy establishes a uniform methodology for enforcing deed restrictions within the Oakwood Glen Association. This policy applies to all members of the Oakwood Glen Association.

Several time every year the board receives request for everything from concrete repair to traffic signal installation. Unfortunately, these types of repairs are the responsibility of Harris County.

To request service, please complete the online Work Order Request Form (WORF) at http://www.hcp4.net/cad/worf.htm.

To see the Work Order Request Descriptions see http://www.hcp4.net/cad/worfdesc.htm.

We recently had a resident request help getting some of the sidewalks repaired. Below is what the county says about repairing sidewalks.

Sidewalk Maintenance: If the sidewalk damage is caused by a leak (sinkhole) in the storm sewer, Precinct 4 maintenance crews will repair the sinkhole and sidewalk. However, Precinct 4 will only repair a sidewalk that has been damaged by a sinkhole. If the sidewalk damage is not the result of a sinkhole, Precinct 4 will not be able to accommodate the request. Sidewalks are typically installed by the developer as an amenity to the community, therefore, sidewalk repair ultimately is the homeowner’s responsibility, unless the damage is caused by a sinkhole as noted above.
