FOCU S FOCUS
What about our maintenance fees?
Qué pasa con nuestras tarifas de mantenimiento?
Some of our residents have been asking
about our maintenance fees. Why are they
so much? What is done with the money?
Would you be surprised to know that our
internet poll of twelve other subdivisions
near us and in Sugarland showed that we
have the lowest maintenance fee? Our $120
a year was reached in 1980 and is limited by
the deed restric+ons. Could you live today on
the same amount of money that you made
in 1980? The closest to us was Parkglen West
at $136 a year. Hun+ngton was $240 a year.
The subdivisions in Sugarland and off high-
way 6 ranged from $400 to $1800 a year.
Ok so where does that money go? We have
648 homes in Parkglen. At $120 each that
amounts to a theore+cal total of $77,760.
That seems like a lot of money but wait we
don’t get all that. We will spend what we
need to so that everyone pays. So where
does the rest of the money go that we re-
ceive?
Con�nue Page 2
Algunos de nuestros residentes han estado
preguntando sobre nuestros honorarios de
mantenimiento. ¿Por qué son tanto? ¿Qué se
hace con el dinero?
¿Le sorprendería saber que nuestra encuesta
en Internet de otras doce subdivisiones cerca-
nas a nosotros y en Sugarland demostró
que tenemos la tarifa de mantenimiento más
baja? Nuestros $ 120 al año se alcanzaron en
1980 y están limitados por las restricciones
de escritura. ¿Podrías vivir hoy con la misma
can+dad de dinero que ganaste en 1980? El
más cercano a nosotros fue Parkglen West a
$ 136 por año. Hun+ngton ganaba $ 240 al
año. Las subdivisiones en Sugarland y fuera
de la autopista 6 iban desde $ 400 a $ 1800
por año.
Bien, entonces, ¿a dónde va ese dinero?
Tenemos 648 casas en Parkglen. A $ 120 ca-
da uno, lo que equivale a un total teórico de
$ 77,760. Eso parece mucho dinero, pero
espera que no obtengamos todo eso.

The largest expense is the pool and the lifeguards. Other ex-
penses include water, electricity, maintaining the common are-
as, repairing everything from the playground, fences, air condi-
+oners for the civic center, office supplies, stamps, mainte-
nance of the civic center, plumbing problems, electrical prob-
lems, legal fees etc. Remember the services today are at 2018
prices and not 1980 prices.
All of this is why we have to rely on volunteers. So please volun-
teer to help or be7er yet serve at least one term on the board.
We should all help each other out and this is a way to do it.

. Gastaremos lo que necesitemos para que todos paguen. En-
tonces, ¿a dónde va el resto del dinero que recibimos?El mayor
gasto es el grupo y los socorristas. Otros gastos incluyen agua,
electricidad, mantenimiento de las áreas comunes, reparación
de todo desde el pa+o de recreo, cercas, aires acondicionados
para el centro cívico, suministros de oficina, sellos, manten-
imiento del centro cívico, honorarios legales, etc. Recuerde que
los servicios hoy están a precios de 2018 y no los precios de
1980.
Todo esto es por lo que tenemos que contar con voluntarios.
Así que, por favor, ofrécete a ser voluntario para ayudar o
mejor aún, cumple al menos un término en la pizarra. Todos
deberíamos ayudarnos unos a otros y esta es una forma de
hacerlo.
ATTENTION SWIMMERS
Our contractor that maintains the Parkglen pool in-
forms us that an excessive amount of co7on lint is
clogging up the filters to the swimming pool.
Please refrain from wearing all coEon swim trunks,
bathing suits and t-shirts in the pool.
.
ATENCIÓN NADADORES
Nuestro contratista que mantiene el pool de Parkglen
informanosotros que una cantidad excesiva de al-
godón es obstruyendo los filtros a la piscina.
Por favor absténgase de usar todos los bañadores de
algodón, trajes de baño y camisetas en la piscina.
Need Board Members The last members mee+ng of the year is in October. This is also
the month when we vote in new Parkglen CIA board members.
Because of a quirk in the vo+ng last year all the terms of the
present board members except one expire the end of 2018. We
need some residents to step up to serve on the board and help
our fellow residents in Parkglen. We do not have enough money
to hire a company to take care of Parkglen’s business so we rely
on volunteers. Please help Parkglen. Some of the old board
members are willing to help the new members.
Please let us know if you are interested. Contact the board at
[email protected] or call 281-530-6397 . We need to
know as soon as possible so that proxy vo+ng sheets
can be printed for the vo+ng.
Necesito miembros de la Junta La úl+ma reunión de miembros del año es en octubre. Este es
también el mes en que votamos en los nuevos miembros de la
junta de Parkglen CIA. Debido a una peculiaridad en la votación
del año pasado, todos los términos de los miembros actuales de
la junta, excepto uno, expiran a fines de 2018. Necesitamos que
algunos residentes se unan para servir en la junta y ayuden a
nuestros compañeros residentes en Parkglen. No tenemos sufi-
ciente dinero para contratar una empresa que se encargue de
los negocios de Parkglen, por lo que dependemos de voluntari-
os. Por favor ayuda a Parkglen. Algunos de los an+guos miem-
bros de la junta están dispuestos a ayudar a los nuevos miem-
bros.
Por favor, háganos saber si está interesado. Póngase en contac-
to con la junta en [email protected] o llame al 281-530-6397.
Necesitamos saber lo antes posible para que se puedan impri-
mir las hojas de votación por poder para la votación.
Parkglen Pool schedule for 2018
You will need a card and a wrist band to swim in the Parkglen pool. If you have one from last year it is only $5 to renew. If you do not have a card
and wrist band it will be $10 .
Remember there is no sharing. Each person swimming needs their card and wrist band. If two adults want to swim outside of the hours with lifeguards it will be an addi'onal charge of $25. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

News
The Fort Bend Star (28 March) had an ar+cle upda+ng the construc+on on Highway 59 South (or US69
South) last May. They were told that all construc+on should be complete about April of 2020. They are up-
da+ng 59 to interstate standards.
We all have been wondering what’s going on with the old TI property. The best I could find out dates back to
2016. The owner StreetLevel states: “The new development has been designed for 350,000 square feet of retail and
dining concepts, 2,400 residential units, office space, two hotels, a health club, entertainment and green space all in a
"walkable urban center."
