Tom S Ramsey – The Punch List – July 2022
| LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER Happy July, y’all! As we enter the holiday weekend, please be mindful that earlier this week Harris County declared a burn ban for unincorporated areas. I encourage you to monitor the news for updates on the burn ban as rain enters our region and to practice firework safety. To celebrate America’s birthday, Precinct 3 Community Centers and Kids Summer Camps participated in 100.3 The Bull’s initiative to get 10,000 thank you cards to our service members. We gathered nearly 300 cards in under a week! It’s so important that we take holidays like this to pause, remember our history, be grateful for where we are, and honor those who’ve helped us get here. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time in thanking our troops! Participating in initiatives like these is just one small example of how our facilities help provide fulfillment and quality of life for our constituents, and for that I am proud to be a County Commissioner. Thank you for taking the time to look through our newsletter to keep up with Precinct 3 happenings. Have a safe and Happy Independence Day! – Commissioner Tom S.

SCHOOL SAFETY AT THE FOREFRONT OF PRECINCT 3
We are Working Hard for Safer Schools Ahead of the New Year
Court Unanimously Approves Commissioner Ramsey’s Proposed Safe School Commission
The Safe School Commission consists of five subject matter experts, who are tasked with compiling recommendations on how Commissioners Court can support all 25 Independent School Districts and private school safety strategies in time for the 2022-2023 school year. Read More Here
Collaboration & Comradery at Precinct 3’s Safe School Summit
Today Commissioner Tom Ramsey was joined by Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4 and Harris County Fire Marshal Laurie Christensen to host the School Safety Summit for law enforcement agencies all throughout the County. Over 30 representatives from nearly 20 different agencies participated, all of whom either patrol or respond to school emergencies.
“The goal is to get all the key people in a room to exchange ideas for safe school solutions from a law enforcement perspective,” said Commissioner Ramsey. “Some may find other agencies running into the same issues, while other agencies used to but figured out solutions. Now they can meet, talk, and implement – and there you have it. We’re a step in the right direction for safer schools.”
Collaboration and comradery filled the room as officers exchanged numbers and business cards. Attendees included the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, various Constable Precincts, City ISD patrol officers from Tomball, Spring, Aldine, Klein, and many more. Commissioner Ramsey looks forward to gathering the agencies again in the Fall moving our schools another step closer to a safer environment.
Law Enforcement Ramp Up Active Shooter Trainings in Precinct 3
Precinct 3 has been collaborating with Constable Precincts 3, 4, and 5 to host Active Shooter Trainings for school patrol officers and civilians.
While the law enforcement trainings are closed to the public, we encourage you to attend our civilian training sessions. The next one is July 25, 2022 from 6-8 PM at Trini Mendenhall Community Center.
LOCAL GOV’T 101
MUDs, WCIDs and HOAs
What are they and how does the County interact with them?
Commissioner Precincts often partner with local entities when working on projects throughout communities.
These can include Water Control and Improvement Districts (WCID), Municipal Utilities Districts (MUD), and Homeowner Associations (HOA).
Each are responsible for maintaining various homeowner and facility needs in their areas, but they differ in what and who they serve.
MUDs and WCIDs are organizations that usually exist in unincorporated areas of Harris County and hold authority to tax residents. Theyhelp serve their jurisdictional area’s water and wastewater needs and have the ability to assist with drainage needs and recreational facilities.
HOAs can exist within both incorporated and unincorporated. They help regulate aesthetics within a community (exterior home appearance, subdivision amenities, etc.) and often provide recreational opportunities.
ON THE ROAD
Dreamland Place, Barrett
The Precinct 3 Road and Bridge team continues to identify and execute projects in our newly acquired areas, following redistricting.
One of the team’s current projects is within the Barrett community. This project includes plans to reconstruct Parris Road, located next to Barrett Station Evergreen Cemetery. The project will continue through Dreamland Place with the repair of road failures and overlaying all 8 roads with a new asphalt surface.
This project will begin in July with completion by August, pending weather conditions. Precinct 3 is excited to continue investing in Barrett infrastructure, improving roads and drainage.

The scope of work includes replacing damaged concrete panels along the eastbound lanes of Kingwood Drive from Lake Kingwood Trail to Oak Street. The cost of the project is $99,600 and is funded through Mayor Pro Tem Martin’s Council District Service Funds. The project is anticipated to be completed by Friday, July 22, weather permitting.

Unacceptable Activity
It saddens me to report that our beautiful neighborhood pool was vandalized either the evening of Thursday, June 2 or Friday, June 3. The intruders left our pool furniture turned over and pool tools broken and unusable. Please check your home security cameras and/or doorbell camera systems and see if you have any activity that might be associated to this incident. Activity such as cars or people walking in the late/dark hours of Thursday or Friday evening.
In addition, the street sign at N. Strathford Ln. and Elmstone Ct. was discovered disconnected or fell from the stop sign, but not removed. This may or may not be related to the pool incident. A report has been filed with the City Works of Houston, at 3-1-1, to repair and/or re-install the sign.
These incidents will be reported to the Kingwood Police Station. I will also ask for Kingwood’s Houston Police Department to patrol our neighborhood during the evening/late evenings to help deter this type of activity.
And yes, it may have just been kids having fun or, as I like to say, kids doing things they know they shouldn’t be doing. But we do not wish to condone this type of disregard of our pool, pool accessories and our neighborhood. We wish our residents, and their guests, have a nice experience at our private pool.
Additionally, concern has been expressed about the number of people at our pool, whether they are all residents. If you are at the pool, the best way to find out is to introduce yourself. Hopefully get to know a neighbor! Let’s please keep our pool for us and our guests and follow the rules as posted at the pool and on the website.
Do not share your pool key
If a new neighbor needs a key, have them contact me or Vickie Cain, Community Manager, Goodwin & Company, Vickie.Cain@goodwintx.com, or 281.852.1155.
