NRC Elections 2010

Elections for the Neighborhood Representatives Committee are held every two years in Cinco Ranch. Cinco Ranch is divided into 34 separate neighborhoods. Click on the link below to determine your neighborhood:
http://www.cincoranchpoa.com/pdf/Cinco‐Ranch‐Neighborhoods‐with‐Streets.pdf

Three Representatives are needed for each Neighborhood. This will consist of a Voting Rep; Alternate Voting Rep, and a 2nd Alternate Voting Rep. Representatives attend a monthly meeting to stay informed of current activities in Cinco Ranch. This helps the Representative communicate with property owners in their Neighborhood. Two of the main duties of the Neighborhood Representatives are to elect/remove Directors on the Board of the Association and to develop recommendations to the Board on issues of importance to property owners.

If you are interested in becoming a Neighborhood Rep, please submit a half page biography to the Association Office. The deadline for submissions is September 17, 2010 by 5 PM. Submissions may be mailed, faxed, or emailed into the office. Candidates must be a resident property owner within the particular Cinco I Neighborhood for which such owner seeks election, and must be in good standing with the Association.

Ballots and Proxies will be mailed out the week of September 27th. The election will be held at the Annual NRC Meeting on October 18, 2010 at the Cinco Association Office at 7:00 PM. Mailed or faxed in ballots must be received into the office by Friday, October 15, 2010 by 5 PM. Ballots may also be brought to the meeting on October 18.

IMPORTANT: Please carefully read the "Instructions For Your Vote To Be Counted" that will be listed on the face of the ballot.

The 2010 Cinco Ranch BACK TO SCHOOL BASH Was HUGE!

Wow!  Cinco Ranch kids are really excited about the new school year!  This high energy fun event was packed with excitement and people all evening.  The annual BASH was held at the Water Park on Friday, August 20th from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Radio Disney continued to entertain in Cinco Ranch by helping us kick-off the event and yet another awesome school year.  Disney Radio Station Program KMIC AM 1590, turned the Water Park into Camp Rock with great music, prizes, giveaways, and games.

Doors opened at 5:00 with folks waiting to come in.  As soon as it was time, it was a mad dash to the tables, chairs, water park pool and of course, straight to the Radio Disney fun zone!

We were fortunate to have the continued support of this event from community members like CincoLife, Cram Crew and, new this year, the Katy Cavalier Lacrosse Club! Parents and lacrosse players all had fun helping with games and the Beach Ball Frenzy.  If you missed the opportunity to find out about registration, go to their website at www.katycavalierlacrosse.org or contact them via email at CavalierLacrosseInfo@gmail.com . Kids from 4th grade to 8th grade participate in this fast, fun, exciting sport and online registration is ready for you via their website or, sign up at a walk-up registration, one of which will be at Cinco Ranch High School on Saturday Nov. 6th. 

200 boxes of pizza and drinks were provided at no cost, while supplies lasted, along with several different varieties of ice cream treats.   Volunteers from Seven Lakes High School SOS not only helped with the set up but they also helped with the water slide, pizza, ice cream cart, games and the Beach Ball Frenzy. These students make the event run as smoothly as possible by helping us with every part of the event, and the event couldn’t happen without them.  We hope you took the opportunity to say “thanks!” to these great kids as you picked up your slice of pizza, a splash in the pool for a beach ball, or enjoyed the hula hoop contest.  They deserve a big round of applause!

The Beach Ball Frenzy was repeated this year with over 400 beach balls.  The SOS students, along with several other Cinco POA and Cincolife friends and volunteers blew up each of the 400 beach balls and then tossed them all into the pool around 7:15.  What a fun, exciting, part of the Back to School Bash this is every year! 

After Radio Disney was done, all half-pipe photos were taken, pizza served and the games area closed, the party kept going with our DJ spinning tunes until closing time.  At around 8:15 p.m., the hula hoop contest began featuring the first contest we just couldn’t end!   Our DJ begged to call it a three-way tie and crowd couldn’t have agreed more.  WOW!  Cinco Ranch kids can really hula hoop!  

Cinco Ranch POA and CincoLife hopes everyone had a great time at the 2010 Annual Back to School Bash, and if you had a great time, do take the time to let your POA representatives know!

Please note new email address.

A Message from Harris County Precinct 5 Constable’s Office

Hello,

Checking in for August, with the summer ending we are starting to see another increase in property crimes (burglaries of vehicles and homes) please call immediately if you see something suspicious going on. (Unknown persons walking up driveways and into back yards that are not known to you)

Put your house on watch if you are going away (even for one day)

If you have an alarm with a back up battery, make sure the battery is fresh, most back up batteries in alarm systems last 3-5 years before needing to be replaced.  Set your alarm even if you’re running down the street for a quick errand.

RECORD SERIAL NUMBERS/ other than catching thieves in the act, a serial number is the next best way to catch a crook and recover property.

If there is anything we can assist the neighborhood with please let me know.

Jeff LeBeau

New Construction begins for Grand Parkway – I-10 Connector Ramps

Construction is about to begin on the long awaited project in far West Harris County to build two direct connector ramps from IH 10 westbound to SH 99 southbound and from SH 99 northbound to IH 10 eastbound.  The addition of these ramps will significantly improve the mobility and flow of traffic traveling through the IH 10 West/SH 99 intersection. Once complete, motorists who travel SH 99 northbound to IH 10 eastbound and IH 10 westbound to SH 99 southbound will see a reduction in travel time by using the ramps to bypass the signalized intersection.

The Texas Transportation Commission awarded the project to Lone Star Construction Company on April 29, 2010. The $29.1 million project is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Economic Stimulus) and is estimated to take 18 months to complete.

Below is a quick summary of what the public will see over the next 1 ½ years:

Begin foundations for bridge columns - Late July 2010 Begin construction of the bridge columns - August 2010 Begin setting bridge beams - November 2010 Begin placing bridge decks - February 2011 Opening of the new ramps - December 2011

All of the aforementioned dates are subject to change.
