LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT As I write this letter in mid-July, we finally have the special public meeting scheduled to officially present the proposed clubhouse project on July 24. And by the time you are reading this, the vote is either underway or completed. Given that this has now been a multi-year effort, I just wanted to take this opportunity to briefly review the process that has been undertaken over the last couple of years. In early 2016, the TPOA Board sent an email survey out to property owners to gauge their interest in an upgraded clubhouse and what they would like to see. The response was surprisingly strong with over 600 responses, and based on the survey results and responses that expressed strong interest in an upgraded clubhouse, the Board began consulting informally with local commercial architects and building professionals to discuss ideas, opportunities and challenges, toured other HOA clubhouses in the area, and began looking at things like code requirements, platting, etc. Based on these discussions with the building professionals, it was determined the design cost would be approximately $30,000. In November 2016 a community vote was taken to determine whether or not to proceed with the design, and the community voted in favor of proceeding with the design by a margin of more than two to one. Based on input from the community, the Board also agreed that a communitywide vote would be taken once the design was complete and the estimated cost was determined to decide whether or not to proceed with the project. After submitting a request for proposal to 10 different architectural firms and interviewing & vetting four firms that submitted bids, an architect was selected in May 2017, and the design process officially commenced. The process to plat the park
also began. Initial floor plans were developed and revised multiple times based on community desires for things like larger community gathering space, larger gym, more restrooms, larger kitchen, etc., and these plans were presented at various community meetings as a work in progress. In conjunction with that, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural and geotechnical engineering work got under way, all of which would be used to help determine the ultimate project design and cost. The options of remodeling the existing clubhouse versus building a new clubhouse were both considered, and the process included a thorough review of the current clubhouse by the architect and engineers. Based on the building’s aging and outdated infrastructure, and the community’s desire for much more space, it was determined that a renovation would be a much less cost-effective option as it would result in a much higher cost per square foot. So the decision was made to pursue new construction versus renovation. As we have announced, we did have a setback in the effort when we unfortunately had to part ways with our original architect in January 2018 because the project reached a point where it just wasn’t progressing. But we are fortunate that Slay Architecture was able to step in and get the project moving again. Slay had originally expressed interest in the project in early 2017, and they were strongly considered, but they were unable to pursue it at that time.
All Meetings are held at 7:00 p.m. at the Slay and various engineers to complete the Clubhouseworked at the Park.
design work needed for the project to go out for bid. The Board interviewed four different contractors and received bid packets from three of them. After (Continued on page 2)
(Continued from front page)
review of the bids and follow-up interviews with the contractors the Board selected the firm of T&F Construction to do the construction, should it be approved by the community. It’s important to note that when we began this process, it was our goal to build or renovate the clubhouse at a cost between $750,000 and $1 million. But in that time, there has been a major increase in construction material and labor costs due to a number of factors, most recently due to tariffs and other trade measures, along with high demand due to hurricane recovery in different parts of Texas. The bids we received ranged from $1. 4 million to $1.8 million, but we worked with the contractors and architect to get the project to a budget of $1.5 million, and all involved will work hard to try and come in below that number. With all of this said, given the tremendous size and cost of the project, it’s the community’s decision whether or not we move forward the project, not the Board’s. My only reason for outlining all of this information is to show that there has been a process and we have put in a lot of work to ensure that the project, if it is approved and completed, would be something that meets our community’s needs and is something in which our residents take pride. Whether the vote is ultimately “YES” or “NO”, each of us on the Board respects that decision, and regardless of the outcome we will all continue working for the betterment of this community. Thanks for your time, and I’ll see you around the neighborhood. Greg Matula TPOA Board President

Easing the Back-to-School Transition By Lora Reynolds, Special to Neighborhood News
Whether your children view the start of school with excitement, dread, or something in between, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other sources offer practical advice for parents to help students prepare for the new school year. • Alleviate anxiety by discussing how your child feels about the arrival of the first day of school and point out the positive aspects of beginning a new school year. • Implement school-year bedtime hours a few days before school begins so that children get used to going to bed earlier and waking up earlier than they might be doing during the summer. • Teach children to make healthy choices in the school cafeteria. • Create a homework station in a quiet space in the house with a smooth writing surface and good lighting. • Include children in the shopping trip for school supplies and make sure you have everything on the required list for the first day of school. • Help children select school clothes the night before. • Make sure both you and your children know what time school starts and ends, and what time the school bus arrives for pick-up and drop-off.

Wetting Agents to Help Survive the Drought By Mark Peterson, SAWS Conservation Project Coordinator Just because we’re currently in the middle of a drought doesn’t mean we have to let our precious plants and flowers go dry. Wetting agents are substances added to the soil to increase water infiltration and water-holding capacity, and they can be a gardener’s dream come true, especially when we’re doing everything we can to conserve water. A wetting agent is defined as a chemical substance that increases the spreading and penetrating ability of a liquid — in this case, water — by reducing its surface tension. These are molecules that have a hydrophilic, or “water loving,” end and hydrophobic, or “water hating” end. Wetting agents are frequently called surfactants, but in actuality they are just one class of the surfactants that assist in water infiltration. (Other surfactants that assist pesticides to coat and penetrate their intended target, whether insect or plant, are known as spreaders, or stickers.) Here are a few “wetting agent” products you can find
at local nurseries or make yourself using ingredients and materials you probably have lying around your home. Compost: A thin layer of quality, double screened compost applied to the soil and lightly sprayed will combine to create a simple wetting agent. As the compost decays, it creates long molecules with acids, hydroxyls, nitrogen and a host of other goodies attached. Compost leachate: Likewise, running water through compost and a screen, coffee filter or panty hose, will create a liquid that has immediate effects. Compost tea: Compost, sugars and beneficial bacteria that are “brewed” together to provide a living wetting agent. Humic acid/fulvic acid/humus: Components in organic matter such as peat, bio-char and coal that form long organic molecules to assist in fertility and water retention. Dish soap and home remedies: Simple dish soap in a bucket of water is actually a simple wetting agent. The web is replete with hundreds of DIY versions. Keep it simple – ½ cup of Ivory dish soap per 5-gallon bucket and one 12 oz. can of Sprite for acid and sugar. Apple cider vinegar and a simple sugar: Apple cider vinegar is all the rage now, eliminating everything from belly fat to bunions, and it also makes a great wetting agent. Combine one cup of vinegar and one soda or one cup of molasses in a 5-gallon bucket. Yuccah: A commercial product that is made from the roots of the yucca plant. Why? Pioneers used yucca roots as a shampoo.

What To Do During a Heat Wave In recent years, excessive heat has caused more deaths than all other weather events, including floods. A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessive heat, generally 10 degrees or more above average, often combined with excessive humidity. Below is a list of ways to stay safe during a heat wave: • Listen to a NOAA Weather Radio for critical updates from the National Weather Service (NWS). • NEVER leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles. • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol. • Eat small meals and eat more often. • Avoid extreme temperature changes. • Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Avoid dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays. • Slow down, stay indoors and avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day. • Postpone outdoor games and activities. • Use a buddy system when working in excessive heat. • Take frequent breaks if you must work outdoors. • Check on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air conditioning, who spend much of their time alone or who are more likely to be affected by the heat. • Check on your animals frequently to ensure that they are not suffering from the heat.
