What's New?

• We're having a Santa Event on Sunday December 14, 2008 from 2-4pm.  Santa will start out at the Lakeline Pool at 2:00 pm and will make his way through the neighborhood and end at Kay Redden Park around 2:45pm. Click here for more details. Here's the route they will take.
• We attempted to have our annual membership meeting on December 1, 2008.  However, this was the first year that the developer (LIC) did not have a super majority vote and therefore we were unable to meet the 2/5 membership quorum requirements.  As per our By-Laws, we are scheduling a second meeting for January 15, 2009 to elect members to our open board positions.  If you would like to run, please notify Kathy Taylor as soon as possible.  Post cards for this meeting's notice will be going out shortly.
• Our Neighborhood Watch Committee is moving right along, but we need volunteers for block captain.  It's really easy, just get to know your neighbors, collect contact information from them (in case of emergency) and be willing to either host or participate in our annual neighborhood meeting (usually coincides with National Night Out).  Please contact Karen Magdelain  if you can help out.
• The Westside HOA Board of Directors would like to welcome Darrell Park to the board.  Thanks for stepping up, Darrell!  Our next HOA Board meeting will be held on September 22, 2008 in the Cedar Park Police Department Community Room at 6:30 PM.
• Check out the pictures from our 4th of July Parade.  Kudos to the Social Committee!

• Westside Elementary School will be opening this fall.  Check back later this summer for more details!
• We've had a confirmed case of Cryptosporidium in our neighborhood.  As a pre-cautionary measure, we've closed our pools to treat them against this contagious illness and we're following the CDC Guidelines for treatment.  Cryptosporidium can be a very serious illness that can be spread, among many other ways, through pool water.  It's also resistant to standard chlorination and filtration in pools.  Symptoms include stomach cramps/pains, dehydration, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and weight loss. If you or a family experience any of these symptoms, please contact your physician immediately.  If you or a family member have been diagnosed with this illness and have been swimming in the neighborhood pools (Lakeline Pool or Kay Redden Pool), please notify Kathy Taylor immediately.
• Pools are now open!  Click here for the hours of operation and other pool info.  If you are new to the neighborhood and do not yet have a pool tag, you will need to complete a pool tag order form and submit it to Kathy Tayler at Goodwin Management.
• Check out the latest crime statistics for our neighborhood.  Want to know what  you can do to help?  Please contact our Neighborhood Watch Committee and join in the fight to make our neighborhood a safer place to live.
• The Social Committee would like your input.  Click here to find out what you can do.
• The Modifications standards have been updated!  Click here for more details. Need to make improvements?  Our MC application has changed. Please check here for specific instructions on what to do.  Remember, ALL IMPROVEMENTS (including sheds, driveway extensions, patios and playscapes) MUST BE REVIEWED BY THE MODIFICATIONS COMMITTEE BEFORE ANY WORK CAN COMMENCE.  Failure to comply can result in fines and added expenses, so please do submit your requests prior to construction.  The MC usually turns requests around promptly.
• The Westside Preserve trail map is now online.  Click here to to see it.
• The HOA needs your help!  We are looking for volunteers for various committees.  If you'd like to help, please contact Torsten Weirich (torsten@weirich.com) as soon as possible.
• Slow Down in our Neighborhood!  That was the sentiment expressed by one of our neighbors.  We have lots of kids (and adults) running, cycling, skating and walking around our neighborhood.  Let's all make sure they are safe by driving at or below the posted speed of 30 MPH.
