Friendly Reminder

OMCC Members,
We are in need of a few things for the Spring Festival. I have made a list below. If you would like to reserve a booth please email me with the theme for an official approval by the President. The 6th will be here in no time at all! If you have any questions feel free to contact me or Michelle via email.
  • At least two people for the face painting booth. Being an artist is not required. This is a great opportunity for those who have teenagers. The work they put in can be counted as volunteer hours for their college applications, because this is a community event.
  • A large or extra large basket for the Eater Bunny to carry.
  • Donations; can sodas, candy, toys, books, etc.

Please keep in mind that it is essential to commit and be involve for a community to succeed!  By doing so it reduces the crime rate and allows us all to meet our neighbors.

HPD -Positive Interaction Program (P.I.P)

Houston Police Department

 

Citizens and Police … Friendship Through Education

The Houston Police Department has had a Community Service Division since the Seventies. When a group of citizens requested a presentation on a crime prevention topic, they would send one of their officers to the group and advise them what they could do to keep from becoming crime victims again. This is proactive policing. In 1982, out of the patrol division came the idea that citizens also need to know more about their police department before a crime occurred in their neighborhood. From this idea came the concept of the Positive Interaction Program, “PIP.”

A police agency can be very confusing to most citizens. The Positive Interaction Program holds monthly PIP meetings featuring speakers from different divisions (Burglary and Theft, Homicide, K-9, Helicopters, etc.) explaining how their division operates. This is done so citizens will know what to expect, should they ever need the police. The department was not sure how citizens would react to coming to a police station once a month for a presentation on a different division. So, the Positive Interaction Program was started as a pilot project in only one police station to begin with. The Program has proven to be an overwhelming success.

Statement of Purpose

 

The education of the citizens of Houston on how their police department functions is essential to the PIP program. Once a citizen understands how the police department does its job, that citizen can better relay to the police department their neighborhood needs.

The free flow of information and ideas gives us both a better understanding of each other’s needs and expectations. This fosters trust and friendship between citizens and the police department that serves them. Cooperation between the Houston Police Department and the citizens is imperative in the reduction of crime and enhancing the overall quality of life in their neighborhoods.

March – “Tree Waste” Only

“Tree Waste” is defined as “clean” wood waste such as tree limbs, branches, and stumps (lumber, furniture, and treated wood will NOT be accepted).

I want to remind you that the city’s Heavy Trash program has been revamped and the Tree Waste/Junk Waste program is now in effect. This method of collecting your large waste comes with the benefits of diverting materials that can be recycled from landfills, saving landfill space and your valuable tax dollars.

LyondellBasell turnaround, traffic plan

Message to Oak Meadows Community from LyondellBasell’s Houston Refinery

This is a Courtesy message from the LyondellBasell Houston Refinery at 12000 Lawndale in Houston with a reminder that we will conduct planned maintenance work from February through April on some units, while other units continue to operate. Beginning Monday, Jan. 28, law-enforcement officers will direct traffic on Allen-Genoa, Lawndale and at the Scarborough exits on Highway 225 during shift changes, which have been staggered so as to minimize impact upon our community.

Traffic will be busier 5:30-7:30 a.m. and 5-7:30 p.m.

The community will see increased traffic along Allen-Genoa Road, Lawndale and Highway 225, more workers and heavy equipment during this time. We realize the increased traffic might inconvenience our neighbors and we are doing everything we can to minimize impact upon our community.

Should you have questions or concerns, please call 713-321-4211.
