cool music of The Last Soul Clan Band.
Projects in Process:
Neighbors Night Out – October 7
Jolie registered Lake Windcrest with NATW (National Association of Town Watch) Associa (PMGH’s parent company) is a national sponsor, will provide stuffed animals for

Committee will divide up LW into blocks and sign-up captains. Display the map and captains at NNO. Captains can organize their own block parties.
Write up for web site and newsletter Jolie to contact Don Ray and David Birch to coordinate with Security Awareness Committee

Homeowner Assistance
We provided several Section 5 home owners with additional elevation data on their
drainage problems.
Drainage, Lakes and Dams
The DLDC has used its new laser level to shoot elevations on several drainage ditches and a number of low spots at the big park. We are assisting the Grounds and Amenities Committee with their park upgrade. They are working on reducing the puddles at the big park especially around the new playground equipment.
We released the bid package on repairs to our dams and ditch maintenance and held a job walk with 5 contractors. Bids were requested back by mid-month. We were disappointed in the bid results and will discuss re-bidding this work with the board at the July Board meeting.
TXDOT has removed two of their holdup structures along the south side of 1488 to reduce potential flooding of LW properties around the middle entrance. However, we still have not received their plans and schedule for completing the fix to their drainage problem. Most frustrating.
Bleyl Engineers have completed their elevation survey of the middle entrance creek which is the first step in improving the drainage across these lots.

Standing Committee Report
Committee: Grounds and Amenities Committee
Date: July 15, 2014
Submitted by: Susan Thompson, Chairperson
Ongoing Activities:
We continue to monitor our landscape contractor for quality and adherence to their contract.
Rain has increased the weed growth in ditches, reserves and nature trails and interfered with
Summit’s mowing schedules. In Sections One through Four, there continues to be some
confusion on where Summit stops mowing. Our Contract requires Summit to mow to the
telephone pole every other week during the growing season. Every other month, Summit
mows one time an additional ten feet beyond the telephone poles. The additional area to be
mowed occurs in July, September, November, January, March and May. Summit also
provided a $350.00 bid to mow the grassy areas along FM1488.
Projects in Process:
The Central Entrance is nearly complete. Live Oak Trees need pruning to allow adequate
light for plant and grass growth. After trees are pruned, additional plants will be added to the
beds and dead plants will be replaced. The Committee will continue to address the wall’s
grout problems.
The playground equipment has been installed. There are a few minor problems left to
resolve, but they should not interfere with the use of the equipment. Next we will turn our
attention to resolving the other problems identified earlier this year at the park. Benches will
need to be moved, raised and hopefully resurfaced. Picnic tables need to be resurfaced or
replaced. The sprinkler system needs rerouting and adjusting to better service the park.
Trash cans need to be replaced with a closed lid commercial product suited for parks. The
bridge and the point need repair. The area needs grading to eliminate the ponding problems
noted this spring.
Fences owned by the Association are in need of repair, power washing and/or replacing. In
the spring, Chaparral had obtained three bids to power wash vinyl fences at the two parks
and boat launch area. The power washing bids ranged from $2,600 to $5,500. The bids did
AGENDA ITEM 1407G-003
not include cleaning of vinyl fences located on the trails. Due to changes in vinyl fencing, the
company primarily responsible for maintenance was unable to continue performing the
service. Chaparral obtained a bid from Atlas to repair vinyl fencing at the parks and boat
launch area and 56’ of wood fencing on FM 1488. The proposed bid was for $5,289.10.
There are many sections of vinyl fencing that are missing rails or caps and are not included in
the aforementioned bid. The metal gates at the boat launch and trails need repair and
painting. Throughout the year, fences within Lake Windcrest will require maintenance and
cleaning. It would be helpful and reasonable to contract with a company to provide ongoing
maintenance. A schedule could be set up for power washing vinyl fences, park benches and
tables, and entrance monuments. The company would be responsible for repairing all fence
and gate types. The committee, working with the Community Manager, will begin to identify
potential vendors.

Agenda Item 1407G-005
Title: Texas Sales Tax Exemption
Date: July 29, 2014
Purpose: To reestablish Lake Windcrest POA’s status with Texas Comptroller of
Public Accounts as a state tax exempt organization.
Background: The POA’s Texas Sales Tax Exemption was revoked during our struggle to
get our 501 (c) 4 reinstated with the IRS. The 501 (c) 4 was reinstated by the
IRS on June 30th, 2014
Proposal: To hire Cynthia A Cox CPA L.L.C, on an hourly basis, to reapply with the
Texas Comptroller’s office an application for sales tax exemption for Lake
Windcrest POA.
Cost: An estimate of 2 hours was received. CPA will be billing per hour at a
rate of $120 per hour. Requesting board approval for up to $360. This
cost is not in the budget. Treasurer reports there are funds available for
this expense.
Motion to Board:
Move that the Board hire Cynthia A. Cox CPA L.L.C. on an hourly basis to file with the Texas
Comptroller Office an application to reinstate our sales tax exemption.

Purpose: To provide the ACC with the ability to better evaluate applications
Background: ACC would like the ability to better visualize the design of projects being
submitted for approval, particularly those involving outbuildings. The
committee has been using a trial version of Home Designer 3D Home
Design software and found it helpful.
Proposal: Purchase Home Designer 3D Home Design Software
Cost: $515

Title: Single-Source Vendor Policy
Date: July 29, 2014
Purpose: Competitive bid process to select a qualified vendor contracted to meet
general maintenance responsibilities under specific defined
circumstances
Background: The Dams Lakes and Drainage Committee (DLDC) and the Grounds and
Amenities Committee (GAC) have primary responsibility for many
general maintenance projects on dams, drainage ditches, fences, trails,
etc. It seems more efficient and cost effective to use a different approach
to competitive bidding on each maintenance project in favor of a
competitive process to choose a Single-Source Vendor utilizing an
approved rate sheet under an agreement of not more than 2 years.
Proposal: Develop a policy and procedure to accomplish a single-source method of
vendor selection and the specific circumstances in which the policy may
be utilized as well as the specific terms and conditions required for the
agreement between the vendor and the association.
Motion to Board:
RESOLVED THAT, the Procurement Committee be directed to explore development of a
single-source vendor policy and procedure for general maintenance responsibilities with a
recommendation to the Board at its August 26 meeting.

Title: LWPOA Collections Policy
Date: July 29, 2014
Purpose: To consider adoption of PMG Collection Policy as the official Association
policy.
Background: The Association should have in place an official Collection Policy. As we have
transitioned to the new management company, we learned that the only
adopted collections document from the Board is a Guideline regarding
processing of delinquent accounts.
PMG has a standard Collection Policy used by all of its affiliated property owner
associations. The Board needs to review this suggested policy to ensure that
we understand and agree to all aspects of the policy. It is preferred that the
Association adopt the policy as drafted.
This is an opportunity to review how collections have been handled and to
understand the measures taken to collect delinquent accounts, including legal
action.
Motion to Board:
Move that the Board:
1) Request each Board Director review and comment on the PMG Collection Policy, and that
the Finance Committee do the same, with those comments provided to the Board
President no later than August 15.
2) Request comment from our collections attorney at Treece Law Firm.
3) Pending comments, may place the collection policy on the August meeting Agenda.

2014 Assessment Collection Policy Guidelines
The following packet includes changes to the collection policy for your specific association. Associa
and PMG Houston are working toward standardizing collections in order to create a more professional and
proficient collections department. This will ensure the homeowners and board members are provided the
best possible customer service experience we can provide for your association.
Included in the packet, you will find practices and procedures PMG Houston will use in order to
collect delinquent assessments as well as the charges for each step. The packet also includes and defines
delinquencies and late charges, payment information, and general provisions provided for your association.
The following steps will be performed using the approximate time frames below:
209 Letter: February
Title Search letter: March
Credit Bureau Letter: April
Lien Letter: May
After all steps have been completed, if the homeowner remains delinquent, the account may be
turned over to the association’s attorney for collection. Once an account is at attorney status, the
homeowner must work with the attorney’s office in order to bring their account current. Standardizing the
collection process and defining the stipulations and procedures will benefit the association by collecting
outstanding balances in a more timely manner therefore creating more revenue for your association.

ASSESSMENT COLLECTION POLICY
_________ is a community (the ʺCommunityʺ) created by and subject that certain
_________________________ recorded under County Clerk File No. or Document No. _______,
Official Public Records of ____________ County, Texas, as amended (the “Covenantʺ). The
operation of the Community is vested in _ _______________________, (the “Association”),
acting through its board of directors (the “Board”). The Association is empowered to enforce the
covenants, conditions and restrictions of the Covenant, the Bylaws and rules of the Association
(collectively, the ʺRestrictionsʺ), including the obligation of Owners to pay Assessments pursuant to the
terms and provisions of the Covenant.
The Board hereby adopts this Assessment Collection Policy to establish equitable policies and
procedures for the collection of Assessments levied pursuant to the Restrictions. Terms used in this
policy, but not defined, shall have the meaning subscribed to such term in the Restrictions.
Section 1. DELINQUENCIES, LATE CHARGES & INTEREST
1‐A. Due Date. An Owner will timely and fully pay Regular Assessments and Special Assessments.
Regular Assessments are assessed annually and are due and payable on the first calendar day of
the month at the beginning of the fiscal year, or in such other manner as the Board may designate
in its sole and absolute discretion. 1‐B. Delinquent. Any Assessment that is not fully paid when due is delinquent. When the account of
an Owner becomes delinquent, it remains delinquent until paid in full — including collection
costs, interest and late fees. 1‐C. Late Fees & Interest. If the Association does not receive full payment of a Regular Assessment by
5:00 p.m. of the due date established by the Board, the Association may levy a late fee per
month and/or interest at the highest rate allowed by applicable usury laws then in effect on the
amount of the Assessment from the due date therefore (or if there is no such highest rate, then at
the rate of 1 and 1/2% per month) until paid in full. 1‐D. Liability for Collection Costs. The defaulting Owner is liable to the Association for the cost of
title reports, credit reports, certified mail, long distance calls, court costs, filing fees, and other
reasonable costs and attorney’s fees incurred by the Association in collecting the delinquency. 1‐E. Insufficient Funds. The Association may levy a charge of $25 for any check returned to the
Association marked ʺnot sufficient fundsʺ or the equivalent.
1‐F. Waiver. Properly levied collection costs, late fees, and interest may only be waived by a majority
of the Board.
Section 2. INSTALLMENTS & ACCELERATION
If an Assessment, other than a Regular Assessment, is payable in installments, and if an Owner
defaults in the payment of any installment, the Association may declare the entire Assessment in default
and accelerate the due date on all remaining installments of the Assessment. An Assessment, other than a
Regular Assessment, payable in installments may be accelerated only after the Association gives the
Owner at least fifteen (15) days prior notice of the default and the Association’s intent to accelerate the
unpaid balance if the default is not timely cured. Following acceleration of the indebtedness, the
Association has no duty to reinstate the installment program upon partial payment by the Owner.
Section 3. PAYMENTS
3‐A. Application of Payments. After the Association notifies the Owner of a delinquency and the
Owner’s liability for late fees or interest, and collection costs, any payment received by the
Association shall be applied in the following order, starting with the oldest charge in each
category, until that category is fully paid, regardless of the amount of payment, notations on
checks, and the date the obligations arose:
(1) Delinquent assessments (4) Other attorney’s fees
(2) Current assessments (5) Fines
(3) Attorney fees and costs associated
with delinquent assessments
(6) Any other amount
3‐B. Payment Plans. The Association shall offer a payment plan to a delinquent Owner with a
minimum term of at least three (3) months and a maximum term of eighteen (18) months from
the date the payment plan is requested for which the Owner may be charged reasonable
administrative costs and interest. The Association will determine the actual term of each
payment plan offered to an Owner. An Owner is not entitled to a payment plan if the Owner has
defaulted on a previous payment plan in the last two (2) years. If an Owner is in default at the
time the Owner submits a payment, the Association is not required to follow the application of
payments schedule set forth in Paragraph 3‐A.
3‐C. Form of Payment. The Association may require that payment of delinquent Assessments be
made only in the form of check, cashier’s check, or money order.
3‐D. Partial and Conditioned Payment. The Association may refuse to accept partial payment (i.e.,
less than the full amount due and payable) and payments to which the payer attaches conditions
or directions contrary to the Board’s policy for applying payments. The Association’s
endorsement and deposit of a payment does not constitute acceptance. Instead, acceptance by the
Association occurs when the Association posts the payment to the Owner’s account. If the
Association does not accept the payment at that time, it will promptly refund the payment to the
payer. A payment that is not refunded to the payer within thirty (30) days after being deposited
by the Association may be deemed accepted as to payment, but not as to words of limitation or
instruction accompanying the payment. The acceptance by the Association of partial payment of
delinquent Assessments does not waive the Association’s right to pursue or to continue pursuing
its remedies for payment in full of all outstanding obligations.
3‐E. Notice of Payment. If the Association receives full payment of the delinquency after
recording a notice of lien, the Association will cause a release of notice of lien to be publicly
recorded, a copy of which will be sent to the Owner. The Association may require the Owner
to prepay the cost of preparing and recording the release. 3‐F. Correction of Credit Report. If the Association receives full payment of the delinquency
after reporting the defaulting Owner to a credit reporting service, the Association will report
receipt of payment to the credit reporting service.
Section 4. LIABILITY FOR COLLECTION COSTS
4‐A. Collection Costs. The defaulting Owner may be liable to the Association for the cost of title
reports, credit reports, certified mail, long distance calls, filing fees, and other reasonable
costs and attorney’s fees incurred in the collection of the delinquency.
Section 5. COLLECTION PROCEDURES
5‐A. Delegation of Collection Procedures. From time to time, the Association may delegate some
or all of the collection procedures, as the Board in its sole discretion deems appropriate, to the
Association’s managing agent, an attorney, or a debt collector.
5‐B. Delinquency Notices. If the Association has not received full payment of an Assessment by the
due date, the Association may send written notice of nonpayment to the defaulting Owner, by
hand delivery, first class mail, and/or by certified mail, stating the amount delinquent. The
Association’s delinquency‐related correspondence may state that if full payment is not timely
received, the Association may pursue any or all of the Association’s remedies, at the sole cost
and expense of the defaulting Owner.
5‐C. Verification of Owner Information. The Association may obtain a title report to determine the
names of the Owners and the identity of other lien‐holders, including the mortgage company. 5‐D. Notification of Mortgage Lender. The Association may notify the mortgage lender of the
default obligations.
5‐E. Notification of Credit Bureau. The Association may report the defaulting Owner to one or
more credit reporting services.
5-F. Collection by Attorney. If the Owner’s account remains delinquent, the manager of the
Association or the Board of the Association shall refer the delinquent account to the
Association’s attorney for collection. In the event an account is referred to the Association’s
attorney, the Owner will be liable to the Association for its legal fees and expenses.
5‐G. Notice of Lien. The Management Company may cause a notice of the Association’s
Assessment lien against the Owner’s home to be publicly recorded. In that event, a copy of the
notice will be sent to the defaulting Owner, and may also be sent to the Owner’s mortgagee. 5‐H. Cancellation of Debt. If the Board deems the debt to be uncollectible, the Board may elect
to cancel the debt on the books of the Association, in which case the Association may report the
full amount of the forgiven indebtedness to the Internal Revenue Service as income to the
defaulting Owner.
5‐I. Suspension of Use of Certain Facilities or Services. The Board may suspend the use of the
Common Area amenities by an Owner, or his tenant, whose account with the Association is
delinquent for at least thirty (30) days.
Section 6. GENERAL PROVISIONS
6‐A. Independent Judgment. Notwithstanding the contents of this detailed policy, the officers,
directors, manager, and attorney of the Association may exercise their independent,
collective, and respective judgment in applying this policy.
6‐B. Other Rights. This policy is in addition to and does not detract from the rights of the
Association to collect Assessments under the Association’s Restrictions and the laws of the
State of Texas.
6‐C. Limitations of Interest. The Association, and its officers, directors, managers, and attorneys,
intend to conform strictly to the applicable usury laws of the State of Texas. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Restrictions or any other document or agreement executed
or made in connection with this policy, the Association will not in any event be entitled to
receive or collect, as interest, a sum greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law. If from any circumstances whatsoever, the Association ever receives, collects, or applies as
interest a sum in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law, the excess amount will be
applied to the reduction of unpaid Special Assessments and Regular Assessments, or
reimbursed to the Owner if those Assessments are paid in full.
6‐D. Notices. Unless the Restrictions, applicable law, or this policy provide otherwise, any notice or
other written communication given to an Owner pursuant to this policy will be
deemed delivered to the Owner upon depositing same with the U.S. Postal Service, addressed
to the Owner at the most recent address shown on the Association’s records, or on personal
delivery to the Owner. If the Association’s records show that an Owner’s property is owned by
two (2) or more persons, notice to one co‐Owner is deemed notice to all co‐Owners. Similarly,
notice to one resident is deemed notice to all residents. Written communications to the
Association, pursuant to this policy, will be deemed given on actual receipt by the
Association’s president, secretary, managing agent, or attorney. 6‐E. Amendment of Policy. This policy may be amended from time to time by the Board.

Agenda Item 1407G-009
Title: Approval/Signature Authorizations
Date: July 29, 2014
Purpose: To authorize approval and signature rights due to transition to PMG.
Background: Engagement of a new management company requires that existing bank
accounts be closed and new ones opened. This was to be accomplished
by motion of the Board at the June meeting, whereby CMC was to be
directed to cut a check in the amount of $390,000 and to close all
accounts.
Additionally, setup in a new Strongroom account, accounts payable
system, requires authorization of the Treasurer and the Community
Manager for approval rights.
With the new management company, authorizations for signature rights
need to be approved.
Motion to Board:
RESOLVED THAT, Michele Goldman, Treasurer and Janet Hampton, Community Manager with
Principal Management Group of Houston, have approval rights in Strongroom; and Surina Wright,
Vice President of PMGH or Dora Parker, President of PMGH, are authorized to sign checks.
