Common Area Irrigation
Please call Crest at 281-579-0761 to report problems with neighborhood irrigation. We will arrange for repairs, even on weekends. Do not attempt to shut off valves yourself. We have had several instances of residents damaging valves, resulting in repairs costing around $150. This is much more than the cost of any water wasted.

POOL PARTY CO-ORDINATOR NEEDED ASAP
We are in need of a pool party coordinator. This is a simple and easy way to volunteer, all that is required is tracking the pool parties for our 2 neighborhood pools and putting up the schedule on the bulletin board at each pool during pool season [3 ½ months]. This is a great way to help your community with little time commitment. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Kristie Poldervaart at poldervaartk@gmail.comor 281-731-3587. |

SWIM TEAM REGISTRATION & LEAGUE UPDATE
Calling all Gators! Priority Registration for the 2009 Swim Team will be held on Sunday, March 29th for returning swimmers and Open Registration on Sunday, April 5th for all swimmers. Registrations will be held at the Gerri Ayers pool (at Kingsland and Crescent Green) from 2 PM till 4 PM. No applications will be accepted before 2 PM on the day of registration. Any swimmer who participated on the Gators last season will be guaranteed a spot on the team provided his or her application is submitted by 4 PM on March 29th. Open registration on April 5th is on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the popularity of our team, some age groups will close early.
The Gators accept swimmers between the ages of 5 and 18 years old. According to our team rules, your child must be 5 years old by May 1st in order to be registered for the 6&Under group.
The cost of registration remains the same as last year: $95 for the first child in a family and $80 for each additional child. Cash or checks only, please; we are not equipped to process credit cards. A parent or guardian signature is required on the application. Swimsuits and team spirit items will be available for purchase at both registrations |

Fence Replacement
After Hurricane Ike, many fences needed to be replaced and the Association allowed residents to replace their fences provided that they follow the fence guidelines. While prior approval was waived, you must still submit an ARC application and are responsible if your fence does not meeting the Association's guidelines. You can find an ARC application in the library secion of this website.
Remember, do not stain, paint or apply sealer to your fence. It does not meet ARC guidelines. |

Notification of Important News
This Website has a “blast e-mail” function. This feature allows the Association to send news to residents on a mass basis. The Board of Directors intends to start utilizing this function more frequently to disseminate important information, particularly in emergencies like Hurricane Ike. To date, less than 10% of Association residents have registered to receive such notifications.
If you have not registered and would like to do so, please go to “Join Our Mailing List” on the menu. The only information that you need to enter is your e-mail address. Each of the other items is optional, including your name. None of the information will be distributed to third parties.

Recent Criminal Activities
Burglaries and thefts are continuing to occur in Green Trails Phase II. In the past, the incidents usually involved the theft of visible items in cars (unlocked and locked) and the theft of various items from garages due to unlocked side doors or open garage doors. More recently, the burglaries have been targeting homes.
The thieves have gained entry through a variety of means (glass windows of back and side doors and the glass block windows of bathrooms). Residents of Asian descent seem to have been particularly targeted. The culprits also seem to have a good understanding as to where there may be weak links in residential security systems.
Please take time to evaluate your home security. Are doors and windows securely locked, including garages? Are your cars doors locked and have any valuables been removed? Are house and car alarms set? Are your shrubs trimmed so windows are visible? If you are travelling, have you (a) stopped mail/newspaper delivery, (b) put your lights on timers, and (c) let your neighbors and the Constable know you will be gone? Is the Constable’s number (see below) on or near all of your phones?
You may also want to consider having a home security company evaluate your home regarding what can be done to enhance your security (e.g. additional sensors or motion detectors).
Perhaps the most useful way that residents can help is being vigilant at all times. If you think something suspicious is going on, you’re probably right. But don’t wait until you’re sure; call the Constable immediately at 281-463-6666. If you’re going for a walk or working in the yard, take your cell phone with you. Again, if you notice something that doesn’t feel right, call the Constable at once.
In at least two instances, residents have waited on calling the Constable until they could confirm their suspicions about questionable activity. In both cases, the Constables barely missed catching the thieves. Even one or two minutes’ hesitation can mean the difference between a criminal being behind bars or continuing to prey on you and your neighbors. Please keep the following number handy:
Precinct Five Constable: 281-463-6666
PARK MONITORS NEEDED
If you are interested in becoming a park monitor for Gerri Ayers Park or Crescent Green Park, please contact Kristie Poldervaart at poldervaartk@gmail.comor 281-647-9483. It only takes an hour of your time each month.

Parking Pointers
Please avoid parking your car in the street. It is unsafe, unsightly, inconvenient to neighbors, and makes a tempting target for thieves and vandals. Also, whether on the street or in our parking lots, remember not to leave valuables in your car -- especially not in plain sight.

Welcome to the website of the Green Trails Phase II Homeowners Association
This site was created as a communications tool for the residents of Green Trails Phase II. You will find newsletters, contact forms, phone numbers, pool hours, local school information, event information, a library of Association related documents, and much more. So browse the site and if you don't see something that you think should be included, please contact us here.
Green Trails Phase II residents have much to enjoy in our community:
The convenient location is closer to Downtown Houston than any new neighborhood in West Houston. Property taxes are substantially lower.
There are miles of beautifully landscaped hike-and-bike trails which connect to Terry Hershey Park to the east and George Bush Park to the south.
The subdivision contains two recreation centers, each with its own swimming pool, tennis courts, and playground. There are acres of greenbelts and pocket parks with additional playground and fitness equipment. Harris County has a Pocket Park next to the subdivision, and a Harris County Nature Parkis proposed immediately southeast of the subdivision.
The subdivision is within the highly-acclaimed Katy Independent School District. The community has an inviting atmosphere that really lets you get to know your neighbors.
Block parties, a super swim team, co-ed tennis leagues and community pride make this one of West Houston's most desirable areas.
