The City of Austin has adopted an ordinance forbidding the storage, use and handling of fireworks within the City of Austin and within 5,000 feet outside the city limits. Pioneer Crossing is in the Austin city limits and no fireworks are allowed. If you have problems or need to report violators, please call 311. Police department units will be dispatched from the non-emergency line. The Fire Marshal’s Office still issues citations for violating the fireworks ordinance and vigorously prosecuted persons responsible for starting fires as a result of fireworks. |

A schedule has been finalized for Town Hall meetings on the new proposed budget reductions. For your planning purposes, the schedule will be: Wednesday, June 10 - Northwest Recreation Center All meetings will take place from 6-8:30 p.m. The plan is to have a two-part presentation. The first part will be a condensed version of Budget's forecast, focusing on the key pressures on our budget, and the second part will be an interactive exercise that engages the residents in setting service level priorities. PLEASE try to attend one or all of these meetings as the City needs to hear from many of us that additional cuts of APD's budget is a terrible idea as all crimes are up across the city - even in several of the historically calmer parts of town. PLEASE forward this note to anyone who is tired of the escalation of crime in our city. |

Members of the Austin City Council will host a public forum on Wednesday, March 4, 2009, to seek the public’s input in the process of selecting a consultant for the new Comprehensive Plan, which will contain the City’s policies for growth and development. The three finalist teams, chosen through a national Request for Qualifications process, made presentations to the City Council on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2009. At the March 4 forum, the City Council will gather additional feedback as well as suggestions for questions that may be asked of the three finalist teams. After compiling the consultants’ responses, Council will host another community meeting to seek public opinion on the consultants before making a final decision on April 23, 2009. Comprehensive Plan Public Forum Additional information on the Comprehensive Plan, including video of the three finalists’ Feb. 12 presentations to Council, can be accessed at www.cityofaustin.org/compplan.

Recently Austin Energy distributed flyers in the neighborhood offering free trees and placed flags on properties to indicate where the tree could be planted. The HOA requires all landscape improvements be approved by the Architectural Review Committee. Please obtain approval before planting the trees. |

On 11-5-2008 at approximately 9am, a residence in Woodcliff Neighborhood (just south of the original section of Pioneer Crossing West) was robbed. Two Hispanic men in their early 20's were seen loading technology stuff into an older model, dark blue sedan (possibly a Toyota) with an untitled cardboard license plate. They entered the residence by kicking in the front door. When observed by two neighbors who called the police, the robbers jumped in the car and drove away, so were not apprehended. Replacing the faceplate of the door frame with 3-inch screws (instead of the shorter ones that come with the kit) can alleviate this kind of break-in. Suspicious person(s) sitting in a car on your street or driving slowly up and down, need to be reported as a 911 call. Let the Austin Police Department confront them and inquire about their suspicious behavior. If they have nothing to hide, no harm is done, but you just may prevent the burglary of a neighbor's house. |
