Board member Susan Shafer has resigned. The board would like to thank her for her service to the community.
In accordance with the bylaws, the board has appointed Jean Finch to serve in this position until the annual meeting in November. Jean has submitted the following:
I have lived
at Westbury Gardens with my husband, Lee, since October of 1999 in the 5217
building. I am retired from Baylor College of Medicine, where I worked for a
cardiovascular surgeon as a medical records abstractor doing research for
studies.
My main
concern as a resident and homeowner is: when doing repairs/maintenance we
actually fix problems, when economically feasible and cost effective, rather than simply putting band aids
on them.
Since I am
retired and home most of the time, I am able to walk the property and observe
how things are progressing or deteriorating. Being systematic and detail
oriented, I feel I can help organize and prioritize.
I DO NOT
want to see the property fall back into the condition it was in the first years
we lived here. At that time the property manager rarely visited the property, work orders were ignored or delayed,
and some repairs that were desperately needed did not see work done for years.
Westbury
Gardens is a community within Houston, yet feels separate from the hub-bub of
city life; a community within a community, if you will.
I’d like to
represent my fellow homeowners and residents to help meet the property’s
potential.
Thank you,
Jean Finch
June Meeting
The next monthly board meeting will be on Wednesday, June 5th at 7pm at Parker Elementary School, 10626 Atwell. The normal schedule of meeting on the second Wednesday of the month will resume in July.
Ongoing Projects
Your board is working actively to address maintenance issues that have been deferred in the past. Two major projects currently under way are the replacement of the main sewer lines under the 5200 building ("The Palace") and the 5238 building in The Spanish Courtyard. Please pardon the inconvenience. Both of these buildings have been on routine maintenance for a number of years to lessen backups, and your board is hoping to have all such longstanding plumbing issues addressed in the future as funds allow.
Work Orders
Remember that we may not know you have a problem if you do not place a work order. The maintenance staff at Creative is happy to help you place work orders. You may submit them at www.cmctx.com or phone them in to Creative at 713-772-4420 . Your board members are always willing to help with maintenance issues, but understand that the most efficient course of action is to notify the maintenance department directly, since frequently they will have questions for you. Anyone can place a work order regarding common area issues.
