Late in the month of June and early July the Association has contracted with the landscaping company to do a special treatment on the grass in Cinco Ranch II areas. What you can expect to occur during this treatment is a broadcast of herbicide in the turf in order to eradicate grassy weeds.  The grassy weeds affected will turn brown over the course of a few weeks as they are treated.   The turf will green back up in these areas following the grassy weed die off.  Since this is Summer, this process can take a little bit of time depending on weather conditions such as additional rain or excessive heat (which could speed up or slow down the regrowth process).  The end result should be a greatly reduced grassy weed presence in the overall turf of the community.

Re:         Voice your Concerns - Possible Expansion of Spring Green to 6 lanes

 

The CRRA II HOA Board has received information that Fort Bend County is in the process of looking at possibly expanding Spring Green Boulevard between FM 1093 and Cinco Ranch Blvd. from 4 lanes to 6 lanes.  Members of the HOA Board and several committees have voiced concerns about how increasing traffic patterns along Spring Green Blvd. could affect not only our quality of living in Cinco Ranch but can have a direct impact on the safety of our residents and especially our students.

It seems as if this project is in line with an expansion of FM723 from Richmond to FM1093 which is currently occurring.

Areas of concern identified in any expansion could include:

·         Increased vehicular traffic through Cinco Ranch SW by vehicles using FM 723 and Spring Green as a “Cut Through” from 1093 to Interstate 10.

·         Higher speed limits along common pedestrian walk and pathways abutting green space along Spring Green Blvd. used by Cinco Ranch Residents.

·         Damage to and reduction of HOA Supported Landscaping along Spring Green decreasing the visual appeal of the roadway.

·         Increased costs to Cinco Ranch II Residents by having to pay to fix damaged irrigation and landscaping along the roadway caused by roadway construction.

·         Safety concerns for Students attending public and private schools attended by Cinco Ranch residents.  Many students must traverse Spring Green Blvd going to and from school.  Increased traffic and vehicle speeds will endanger students and pedestrians who must cross Spring Green Blvd to access schools and Amenities. Schools which would be directly impacted are:

o   Seven Lakes High School

o   Seven Lakes Grade 9 Center

o   Seven Lakes Junior High

o   Events held at Seven Lakes Natatorium

o   Tom Wilson Elementary School

o   Thompkins High School

o   Primrose School of West Cinco Ranch

All residents should be concerned about traffic increases in our community so we encourage you to directly contact Fort Bend County Precinct III Commissioner Andy Meyers to voice your specific concerns or use those stated above.

Andy Meyers can be contacted via Written Mail or Email at the address listed below.  We encourage all CRRA II Residents to voice your concern now and continue letting Commissioner Meyers know that this is NOT something that will benefit Cinco Ranch and will cause extreme traffic and safety issues.

Commissioner, Precinct 3

To Our Valued Customer:

 

First and foremost, we would like to thank you for your partnership. As we have always said, we take tremendous pride in delivering services that exceed your expectations. With that being said, we also realize that we have fallen short of this recently with some services being provided later than usual, and in some cases, the next day.

 

There are a few factors driving these recent issues. First, disposal volumes remain elevated due to COVID. The amount of waste we are collecting has been 20-25% above normal volumes since the pandemic began. While things are moving in a positive direction, there will be a lasting effect on the waste stream with the accelerated adaption of online shopping and meal delivery services. In addition to this, the freeze contributed significant volume to the waste stream between debris and dead vegetation. This sent our monthly disposal volumes from 30,000-32,000 tons to 53,000 in March and 43,000 in April, translating to extended service times. Unlike other haulers, we made a conscious decision to continue collecting standard amounts of waste as compared to reducing quantities. Our mindset was that we would rather be a late by a day than having waste curbside for weeks on end. There remain lingering effects from this event.

 

The second contributing factor is still COVID, but its effect on our workforce. Our biggest concern through the pandemic has been the safety of our employees. With that, we have a serious concern of COVID sweeping through our staff. Our in-house COVID protocol remains in full force with testing and quarantining. When a crew has had contact with a positive person, the entire crew is shut down for testing and quarantine. This leads to unfamiliar crews on route and in turn delayed or inconsistent services. Although it is a sub-crew, we are doing their best to accurately cover these routes. Positively, our staff continues to get vaccinated, however, as we are all aware, with the vaccines can be some side effects, leaving us with an absent employee(s) for a period of days.

 

Finally, the labor pool has tightened tremendously over the last months. The demand for qualified drivers coupled with the timing of stimulus checks, added unemployment benefits, and the timing of tax returns has created a true strain on the labor market. We continue to expand our avenues for recruiting and hiring, we are seeing rising wages as we work to retain our staff, and we have even implemented hiring bonuses for new employees and recruiting bonuses for our team if they bring employees on. The process is arduous but moving forward.

 

I would like to reiterate that we fully understand the expectations of our customers and boards that we service. By no means is late or delayed service a favorable outcome for us. We are working diligently to minimize and overcome these challenges, but we also want our customers to be aware that these challenges will take some time to overcome. I am confident in our team, culture, and reputation that Texas Pride Disposal overcoming these obstacles will be a short-term challenge and service will soon be again delivered to your expectations.

 

In addition, we do encourage you to enroll in our service notification system. This system allows us to notify by email of potential delays or carryovers with our service. With the current challenges, our operations team is sending updates three times daily to customer service, with final notice going out to affected customers. You can enroll on the homepage of our website (www.texaspridedisposal.com), or by emailing Averian Gaston (averian@texaspridedisposal.com) with your MUD/HOA and the preferred emails for notices.

 

Again, we thank you for your continued partnership and understanding. We look forward to delivering the services you have come to expect from us, and we have always expected of ourselves.

 

Thank you, Kevin Atkinson Owner Texas Pride Disposal

The Board has been made aware of a potential mobility project regarding the widening of Spring Green Boulevard. As Spring Green is a major thoroughfare that runs through our community from FM1093 to the round‐a‐bout to the north, we believe that the widening would create significant safety issues for children that walk to school, will bring additional traffic through the heart of the community, subtract from the aesthetic character of the area, and will be utilized as a cut through to adjacent communities.
The letter below has been sent to the Commissioner on behalf to the residents of Cinco Ranch Residential Association II. If you would like to also voice your opinion on this matter, please reach out directly to the Commissioner’s Office via email at Andy.Meyers@fortbendcountytx.gov or by calling 281‐238‐1400.

Dear Resident:

Cinco Southwest Municipal Utility District Nos. 2,3, and 4 have adopted a policy and procedures in which the Districts will consider permitting a water credit due to rupture or other damage causing a leak in a resident’s waterline during Winter Storm Uri. This credit is only for damages caused by the event causing excessive water usage and is not a credit for normal usage and/or preventative measures such as dripping faucets.

In order to be considered for a leak adjustment, residents must submit the request in writing and provide details and documentation on the repairs.  Some of the acceptable documentation includes pictures, a plumber’s bill or a receipt for parts and a statement of self-repair.

You can find the form for each District attached for your convenience.  

For questions, you may contact Inframark, at 281-579-4500 or email your documentation to elizabeth.reeves@inframark.com

Leak adjustment request and all related documentation must be received by May 1, 2021. 

 

Many associations, whether gated or not, post “No Solicitation” signs at the entrance(s) or throughout the community and Cinco Ranch II is no exception.
