Important
Notice
Regarding
the Spraying for Mosquitoes
Its
time to start spraying for mosquitoes.
Ψ
Did
you know that the spray used during the mosquito fogging has to be
applied while the mosquitoes are flying?
Ψ
Did
you also know that mosquitoes are most active around dusk?
The
Board recently became aware that since mosquitoes are most active around
dusk, that spraying during that time of day, will kill the most
mosquitoes.
As a result, Cypress Creek Pest Control will begin spraying the
neighborhood during that time of day.
The
insecticide stays in the air 3-4 hours; however, the concentration
begins to diminish once it dissipates in the air and is almost
unnoticeable within 30 minutes after the truck has passed.
The
change in the spraying times will begin within a week after the
newsletter is delivered.
Notice of the change will be posted on the events board at the
entrance.
Early Pool Season
Opening on weekends from
12pm - 6pm,
May 15,16, 22, and 23rd.
The official summer opening day will be Saturday, May 29th.
There has been a mass mail out to
Northview and Willow West subdivisions that is in error. Cypress Creek
Emergency Medical Services is your ambulance agency. The brochure you
may have received indicates that you are being served by another agency.
The Ponderosa Volunteer Fire Department continues to work with Cypress
Creek EMS to deliver the highest quality service that you deserve.

Ponderosa
VFD Round Up
Last
month we told you about the area and staffing of your fire
department.
The
annual meeting of the Ponderosa Volunteer Fire Association, Inc.
(PVFA) will be held on March 10, 2004 beginning at 7 pm.
The meeting is located at Headquarters at 17061 Rolling
Creek in the Ponderosa Subdivision.
The
PVFA. is a non-profit corporation with five civilian members,
the fire chief, and a fire fighter representative.
This board of directors sets the direction for the
organization and expects the fire department to operate
effectively and efficiently. The Emergency Services District board of directors is
comprised of five individuals appointed by Harris County. The District has a tax rate of six cents per hundred dollars
of evaluation (an $80,000 property pays $48 per year). The District contracts with the Association to provide the
necessary resources within budget constraints.
The
2004 operations and capital budget for the organization is
$1,200,000. This
includes all apparatus, facilities, equipment, staffing,
training, insurance and associated operational costs.
The quality of our service is considered quite good; the
Insurance Services Offices “rates” the department at a 3 –
within the top 4% of our nation’s fire departments. This service level reduces most of our residents and
businesses insurance costs, a value added benefit for everyone
every year.
Special
Notice:
It appears that some telephone bills may have a Texas Municipal
Fee of $1.54 per month. That
fee should not be on any telephone bills within the Ponderosa
VFD district. Contact
your telephone service provider to have the fee removed. |
