It is wonderful to see residents are enjoying the pool this year!
Recently several reports have been made concerning misusage of the pool. It appears that several non-residents or guests without residents have been utilizing The Enclave pool. The Enclave pool is not a part of the KSA community pool system or shared with other communities; it is for Enclave residents only or guests accompanied by a resident.
The pool rules are generally on a ‘honor’ system and we hope each resident will take responsibility for following, enforcement of the rules.
As a reminder, below are the rules. They are located on our website under COMMUNITY INFORMATION, POOL
Pool keys are available from Community Asset Management. Contact Vickie Cain, 281.852.1155.
July 2, 2020 | Austin, Texas | Press Release
Governor Greg Abbott today issued an Executive Order requiring all Texans to wear a face covering over the nose and mouth in public spaces in counties with 20 or more positive COVID-19 cases, with few exceptions. The Governor also issued a proclamation giving mayors and county judges the ability to impose restrictions on some outdoor gatherings of over 10 people, and making it mandatory that, with certain exceptions, people cannot be in groups larger than ten and must maintain six feet of social distancing from others.
“Wearing a face covering in public is proven to be one of the most effective ways we have to slow the spread of COVID-19,” said Governor Abbott. “We have the ability to keep businesses open and move our economy forward so that Texans can continue to earn a paycheck, but it requires each of us to do our part to protect one another—and that means wearing a face covering in public spaces. Likewise, large gatherings are a clear contributor to the rise in COVID-19 cases. Restricting the size of groups gatherings will strengthen Texas’ ability to corral this virus and keep Texans safe. We all have a responsibility to slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep our communities safe. If Texans commit to wearing face coverings in public spaces and follow the best health and safety practices, we can both slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep Texas open for business. I urge all Texans to wear a face covering in public, not just for their own health, but for the health of their families, friends, and for all our fellow Texans.”
Additionally, the Governor released a new video message to coincide with his Executive Order, encouraging Texans to do their part to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and keep their communities safe. The video can be downloaded at this link and can also be viewed on YouTube.
One of our residents, Bill Beard, prepared this beautiful, patriotic video from his collection of American Flag photos. Not only is Bill a great photographer, but also has quite a talent for creating videos.
Enjoy!

On Friday, June 19th, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo signed an order requiring businesses to generate, post, and implement health and safety policies which include, at a minimum, a requirement that workers, customers or visitors wear face coverings. The order takes effect at 12:01 am on Monday, June 22nd.
The order directs all commercial entities providing goods or services to require that all employees or visitors to a business premise wear face coverings in areas that involve any proximity to co-workers or the public. Face coverings may include homemade masks, scarfs, bandanas, or a handkerchief. Commercial entities must post the health and safety policy in a conspicuous location sufficient to provide notice to employees and visitors of all health and safety requirements.
To support the development of health and safety policies, Harris County is making available a sample health and safety policy and additional guidelines for businesses. Businesses that fail to develop, post, and implement a Health and Safety Policy are subject to a $1,000 for each violation.
A copy of the order may be found here.

Although hurricanes may not garner as much attention during a coronavirus pandemic, this year’s Atlantic hurricane season is nevertheless shaping up to be an active one, with Tropical Storm Arthur forming weeks ahead of the official start date.
Before the next disaster strikes, Harris County Precinct 4 encourages residents to prepare by following the tips below.
• Make a hurricane preparedness kit. Purchasing essential household items before a storm forms will help prevent panic shopping and ensure that grocery stores do not run out of supplies.
• Make an evacuation plan. Evacuations take place by zone. Although Precinct 4 is not in an evacuation zone, it’s important to avoid the roads if you are not evacuating to prevent massive traffic jams. Check out a map of evacuation zones here.
• Follow trusted sources such as the National Weather Service Houston-Galveston, Harris County Flood Control District, and ReadyHarris to receive accurate, up-to-date information. You can sign up for Ready Harris alerts here to receive information from the Harris County Office of Emergency Management.
The Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1 and ends Nov. 30. This season will mark the third since Hurricane Harvey devastated the Gulf Coast region in 2017.
