As our neighborhood continues to grow, so does the strength of the neighbors. It was very evident when disaster struck and a tornado devastated our golf course and part of our neighborhood. We are so thankful that there were no major injuries or worse. The out pour of the neighborhood to help, was overwhelming. I received numerous phone calls from concerned neighbors asking what can we do to help and the neighbors gathered to help any way they could.
For those of you new to our neighborhood, we welcome you. If you have not received a welcome packet from your area representative, please let us know. Although we do not have a mandatory HOA, we have a very strong voluntary HOA that we invite you to become part of. Many residents feel, if there is not a mandatory HOA there are no rules. I can assure you, that’s not the case. Code Enforcement is strong in Northern Hills and here are a few of the common Code Compliance issues that can result in citations.
1. Maintain lawns and weeds. Any lawn over a foot in height is subject to a citation.
2. Vehicles must be parked on approved surfaces and be maintained in operational condition. Vehicles parked on the street, must be parked in the direction of traffic.
3. All buildings and homes must be maintained and kept in condition as not to detract from the values of neighboring homes.
4. To report any violations please call 311. Your help and concern of the neighborhood is needed.
We also have a very strong COP (Citizens on Patrol) program that we invite you to become part of.
We have our SAFFE officer Joshua Crumley patrolling our neighborhood. Should you need to contact the SAFFE office the number is 210-207-5109. His email address is "joshua.crumley@sanantonio.gov".
We continue to enjoy a low crime neighborhood thanks to all of our COP volunteers and the watchful eyes of our neighbors. If you have any questions or need any assistance settling in your new neighborhood, please let us know.
Disaster Relief Fund Update
We distributed a Disaster Relief Fund to some of our neighbors that were effected by the recent tornado through gift cards.

Please make sure you carry a plastic bag to pickup after your dog if you walk your dog in Northern Hills.
No one likes having a "surprise" in their yard while playing, walking or mowing their grass.
Dog owners are required by law to pickup after their dog and keep their dog on a leash.
Violation of Section 5-14 of the City Code could easily result in a fine up to $2,000.00 for an intentional violation.
Remember that some residents use video surveillance on their property so they will have video evidence of you allowing your dog to defecate on their property.
All pets outside a confined area MUST be on a leash! This is for everyone's protection including the pet. Also, make sure you have current immunizations and a photo.
For more information go to http://www.sanantonio.gov/

Do you have an old computer, TV, or perhaps those foam packaging peanuts you would like to get rid of, but they don't go
in your blue recycling can? Well now there is a place to recycle these items and others including prescription bottles and metals.
In a 98,000 sq ft warehouse of I-35 near Splashtown, Logistix has opened a one stop recycling center, where you'll be able
to drop off things the city won't take at the curb. Brush-only pickup in our area is February and August. DO NOT place bulky items in your brush pile.
Curbside pickup of Bulky items-only is approximately every six months.

It is clear that many of us are being contacted by companies selling solar panels for your roof. Some companies are coming down from Austin to sell you these systems.
Please do you diligence before buying from these companies. Sher your experience with others here. Let us all make informed decisions about solar power.
City power utilities seem to act friendly to these systems but it hurts their profit and some say they plan to charge additional
fees to homeowners with solar systems some time in the future.
Any facts you can add are welcome here.
The city is not interested in buying any power that you generate from solar cells on your roof.
It is not likely that your insurance company will pay to remove and replace solar panels in order to replace your roof when damaged.
Watering times now are once each week from 7-11 a.m. and 7-11 p.m. on your day. - Click Here to know what day to water

San Antonio has a Recycling Center!
Their paper shredders actually grind the paper instead of slicing it into strips. This is more secure and they then turn it into
tissue paper. Logistix accepts the electronics, recyclables and paper for shredding from the public free of charge, and in some
cases pay for it.
They will have a drop off area for the public to come and drop off their items. The Logistix Recycling center opened in November.
You can find it at 1949 Hormel Drive. If you have any questions, call them at 210.732.5246 or check
www.logistixrecyclinghq.com.
Helpful information about recycling - Remember to "Bag in Brown, Recycle in Blue, It's Easy to do."
Avoid placing diapers and other garbage in the blue recycle container. Fines are being assessed thru random curb checks.

Calling all youth from 6th to 12th grade. We are currently looking for youth members and adult volunteers to participate in the beautification, improvement, and promotion of Northern Hills through volunteer services.

This web site started as a means for opposing the SA Airport's FAR 150 update proposal that suggested
that heavy air traffic be re-directed 15 degrees to fly "over the Cement Plant".
The only problem with that solution is that WE are on the Other side of that Cement Plant.
Although the FAA rejected that plan in 2001, in March of 2004 the Northern Hills Homeowner's Association has learned that the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) proposed the Airport still include the 15 degree turn.
In February of 2005, we were notified that were successful getting the 15 degree turn removed from the EIS.
All residents are strongly encouraged to join NHHA.
