A plea from our neighbors along our greenbelts…

Neighborhood News, Neighborhood Safety

Submitted by Ed & Kay Peterson

Given the continued drought this summer and the risk of wildfires, we are asking you, our neighbors, to please refrain from smoking along our trails and in our parks, parking on the grass, riding dirt bikes in the fields or other potential hazards until this risk subsides. We are under a mandatory burn ban so if you see anyone doing any of these things, please remind them that it’s just not safe right now.

We lost so many trees to the drought last year; we would hate to lose more due to a fire or worse yet, have a fire spread to our homes. Please, please, please, use caution when doing any activity outside, recreational or otherwise.

Click HERE to download a comprehensive wildfire prevention plan from the Texas Forest Service or look under our “Safety” tab for articles on Fire Safety.  Below is a link to the  FEMA website for further information on wildfires if you are interested.  In addition, there are several Fire Safety articles featured on this website under “Safety”.  Thanks and stay safe.

New Format for MUD Board Meetings begins August 7

Neighborhood News

Submitted by Chuck Walters, President, Wells Branch MUD Board of Directors

The MUD Board has two meetings monthly whereby the first meeting on the first Tuesday of the month is a Work Session and the second meeting on the third Tuesday of the month is the regular Business Meeting. The meetings start at 6:30pm and are held at the Wells Branch Community Center on Klattenhoff unless otherwise posted.

We will be returning to concentrate on a specific agenda item for the Work Session meetings only.  What will be new is the way we will provide ability for residents to have additional input on the Work Session agenda item.

  • The meeting will have the regular ‘Citizen Communication’ at the beginning.
  • During the Work Session agenda item, the Board and Committees will set the goal for the discussion and provide an overview or opening comments.
  • During the discussion of the item, residents may step to the podium and will be recognized to share their comments with a 3 minute time limitation. Questions from Board on the comments may extend this time.
  • In recognition of overall time limits to complete the Work Session item and the entire agenda the Chair may place further restrictions if needed.

This week’s Work Session will focus on the 2012-2013 budget.  Please see the link below to download the agenda.

We look forward to having this added opportunity for your feedback.  The Board will evaluate the process as we move forward.
