House Numbers Our fire department has
made an earnest request that homeowners in our neighborhood display easy-to-read
house numbers on all homes. Please ensure that vegetation or other materials
are not obscuring your house number. The safety of your family members
may depend on the ability of emergency personnel to locate your home quickly,
day or night.
What about a party? BOT member
Lisa Boyer has offered to be the contact person for any members
who would be interested in planning a Meet Your Neighbor party
or other social event. Email a message to Lisa via the site
webmaster. It would be helpful if you put "Neighborhood
Party" in the subject line.
Clubs and a Bartering Service Some
of our members have raised the question of whether there is any
interest in GWW in establishing a bartering service where members
can publicize their professions/skills and trade time for services.
There has also been mention of starting a Garden Club, a moms’ group,
and a Bunko group. If you have an interest in these or other
ideas for our neighborhood, contact the editor. Contact information
is listed on the last page of this newsletter.Website for Goldenwood
West The BOT approved a proposal made by member Margaret Paine
to design and publish an informational website for our neighborhood
at no cost to the POA. In the interest of making this site as
useful as possible for the neighborhood, any residents who have
suggestions for content which they would like to see on the site
are encouraged to contact Margaret at gww@zpgraphic.com or 894-0903.
Please remember that all meetings of the BOT and the APC are open to the
homeowners. The dates and times are posted on the mail station bulletin
board. Attend a meeting to learn what is going on in your neighborhood.

News from the APC
The APC is looking for a new member to fill a recently vacated position. This
neighborhood committee meets once a month to review applications for property
improvements and complaints of violations of the Goldenwood West Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions (CCRs). The committee is comprised of
3 property owners who are interested in enforcing the CCRs and keeping
up with current issues in our neighborhood. The APC is scheduled to
meet on January 20 and February 17 at 7:00 p.m. Loose Dogs The Hays
County Animal Control Ordinance states: “Dogs are to be restrained by
a leash or fence, unless the owner is on the property and is able to verbally
command the animal to stay on his/her property. If the animal is found
unrestrained, Hays County Animal Control can either issue a citation to
the owner (if the owner is known) or impound the animal at PAWS Animal Shelter
in Kyle, Texas. All dogs are required to be current on their rabies vaccinations.
All dogs are required to be licensed through Hays County.” Goldenwood
West Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions state: “No pets, animals,
livestock or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred or kept on any
Lot, except that: (a) Domestic pets may be kept confined at all times
inside any residence on a Lot; and (b) No more than two dogs,
may be kept for non-commercial purposes for each full Lot if fenced
in a manner and location acceptable to the Committee and if never
allowed to run at large within the Subdivision. No animal(s) may be kept
which, in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall create any noise or
odor nuisance.” If you see a loose dog, contact Hays County
Animal Control at (512) 393-7896 and request that the animal be picked
up. Be sure to document the date and time of the call. Please note
the owner and owner’s address, if known. If there has been no
resolution after three calls within any 30-day period, please contact
the APC with your documentation for further action. Continue to call
