​​imgSun City COPs
Patrol for Your Safety and Security

It has come to the attention of the COPs (Citizens on Patrol) Board of Directors that some residents in Sun City believe that the COPs Patrols are performing community standards inspections for the CA.

The COPs patrols do not perform community standards inspections. COPs patrols are primarily observing for suspicious activity, which they report to the Georgetown Police Department by cell phone. They volunteer their time to help promote the security and safety of Sun City and its residents. COPs ARE NOT watching for violations of Sun City restrictions.

Community standards inspections and enforcement visits are performed by CA staff only. The inspectors wear CA nametags, shirts, and travel in a CA vehicle.

If you have any questions about the inspections or standards enforcement, contact the Community Standards office at 512-948-7460.

Construction Traffic Rerouted

Submitted by David Hahn, Director of Facilities Maintenance

The Developer has closed the construction haul road due to it being washed out by the floods over the weekend. All construction traffic will now come in off Ronald Reagan and turn down Cool Spring to Pedernales. This situation will stay in effect until Rocky Hollow is opened sometime in August or September. This may cause some inconvenience to residents, so please be patient while the Developer finishes our newest point of entry and exit to and from Sun City.

Road Work Update
Last week we sent out a special CA Communicator outlining some road work that will be done in our area. As indicated, the schedule can change based on weather conditions and due to recent rains. The asphalt rejuvenation start date has been moved to the first week in June. Additionally, as indicated above, construction traffic will temporarily use Sun City Blvd to access Cool Spring Way. As a result, the City will not begin the asphalt rejuvenation on streets off Cool Spring Way and Sun City Blvd north of Cool Spring Way until the new Rocky Hollow route is open and construction traffic rerouted.

Native Area Mowing Begins

Submitted by Carlton Mathis, Water Manager, [email protected], 512-948-7792

Mowing for fire breaks (officially called Level 3 Maintenance) will begin in Sun City Texas on June 1. All native areas of the entire campus will be mowed and it may take until September to complete. The wet weather and the abundance of tall grasses may slow down the process, as well as having taken over additional property from the developer.

This is only the second year that Sun City has undertaken this huge job, but the most asked question last year was, “When will you get to my neighborhood?” To answer that, our campus has been divided into three sections. Mowing will begin in Neighborhood 53.

imgFawning Season

It is springtime and fawns are now being born. As always, we advise residents to leave fawns alone. Often fawns appear "orphaned," when in fact they are fine and have been hidden by their mothers. Fawning season lasts about two to three weeks, so let them be unless you feel it is an emergency for the fawn.
