4000 Greenbriar @ US59
Available species include Sycamore, Loblolly Pine, Live Oak, Shumard Red Oak. Cedar Elm, and Bald Cypress. All great for Southampton yards. Trees are 5 gallon size, and about 4 ft tall. Suggested donation is $10 per tree. These trees are much smaller than those planted by the Trees for Southmpton program. If you are in need of a street tree for the area between the curb and sidewalk in front of your home, please reply to this message.
3. Who to call about Bissonnet roadway noise from water line project The noise from steel plates covering holes in the Bissonnet roadway near Kent has been causing headaches for nearby neighbors. The plates are related to the Southampton Water Line Project and are asphalted into place, but occasionally they come loose and can make a great deal of noise. Please report any problems to the city's 311 hotline or 713-837-0311 (from a cell phone) or contact the Project Manager, Michael Barrett, at 281-974-823. The project is wrapping up this month.
4. Dog Found. Female boxer, 4-5 years old, no microchip or tags, very sweet temperament, found a week ago on Vassar. Inquries close to this location have not turned up an owner. We're hoping to re-unite this sweet dog with its family. To claim, contact the Cummings at 713-927-5946 or 713-320-4708.
5. Compostable yard waste bags not required for Southampton You may have read in the news that all residents who use the City of Houston Solid Waste removal services are required to use biodegradable bags for yard waste. This program is not mandatory for Southampton residents, because we have a private waste disposal company, WCA Waste of Texas.
6. Kinder Roundup at Poe Elementary: Thursday, April 22nd @ 1 p.m.From
the Poe PTO: Poe Elementary's Kinder Roundup will
begin at 1:00 with
tours of the kinder classrooms. This will be followed by a short
program in the
cafeteria at 1:45. Information will be available at that time about the
school
and PTO. The conclusion of the roundup will be popsicles on the
playground.
We hope to see you there! (Poe
Elementary is located at 5100 Hazard. For more information about Poe

7. Southampton's spring Alley Rally: Saturday, April 24th, 9am -12 noon
Start planning now for our semi-annual spring alley cleanup. Break out the trimmers, trash bags, shovels & brooms, and spend the morning beautifying our alleys. Let’s make the alleys safer and more accessible for ourselves, and the trash and utility crews. After the cleanup, notify us of any areas that need patching or pothole repair and we will submit your requests to the city for quick action.MOST IMPROVED ALLEY CONTEST: Each alley will be visited by a team of judges who will select this season’s winner. Criteria include building and landscaping maintenance and lighting. Sandra Gunn/Sandra Gunn Properties will donate $250 to the Friends of Fleming Park on behalf of the winning alley. Our celebrity judge is landscape architect Mark Scioneaux of Tellepsen Landscaping.
For more information contact Sarah Darneille, Alley Rally Coordinator, 713-521-0173, s.darneille@sbcglobal.net or the office at 713-523-7422, info@southamptoncivicclub.org

1. Water line project wrapping up this month. Report unresolved problems now
After 9 months, the first phase of the water line project for Southampton is wrapping up. Crews are now beginning the final phase of restoration work and will continue through the end of the month. If you have an unresolved problem or damage that has not yet been addressed, and you have not yet been in contact with the contractor, please contact Project Superintendent Randy Lehde at 281-832-5072. You may also reply to this message or send an email to waterline@southamptoncivicclub.org and we will pass it along for you to the water line team. We will also add your concerns to a punch list to be submitted to the contractor and the city. Please do not delay reporting any outstanding issues, as the city will be signing off on the project in May.
The second phase of the project will begin later this month to replace water lines on Dunstan, Bolsover and Rice Blvd. and will run through November. The contractor for this new phase is Scohill Construction Services (281-955-8375). Michael Barrett will continue to serve as project manager for the city and can be reached at 281-974-823. Information about about Phase 2 will be posted on the Southampton website later this month.2. Free Trees this Saturday at Green Bank, Greenbriar @ 59
