The signup period for the Wildlife Management Committee annual deer census will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 4, and continue until midnight Friday, Sept. 6. The census process involves teams of two individuals to either walk trails or drive golf carts along street routes or on golf course cart paths to obtain a count of all deer sighted. Couples may work together in teams as long as both sign up separately and list the other person’s name on their sign-up form.
 
Volunteers for the deer census may sign up either online or at the monitor's desk in the Social Center. Look for the link on the Sun City website for the online sign-up forms. Those selected will be notified by email or telephone by Thursday, Sept. 12.

Common Courtesy Reminders about Pets
Submitted by Jim Romine, Executive Director, 512-948-7703, [email protected]
 
It’s the time of year to remind everyone of the rules that create a safe environment for pets in our community. Remember, Sun City Texas is part of the City of Georgetown, thus we must follow their guidance as well as the more restrictive rules we have chosen to put in place for our residents. The article below (from Community Standards) gives us the official language from Sun City’s CC&Rs relating to the topic of pets, plus wording from the City of Georgetown’s Ordinance pertaining to pets.
 
In everyday language, here are a few pet common courtesy reminders for Sun City Texas residents:
  • Scoop the poop! Wherever Fido poops—in our community’s common areas, at the Dog Park, or on the streets— it is the owner’s responsibility to properly dispose of it. Please remember to bring a plastic bag on walks with your dog and clean up after them. There are dog waste stations with plastic bags and waste containers strategically placed throughout the community. Kindly dispose of the bag in one of these containers or another proper waste container; do not drop the bags into storm sewers since the sewers drain directly into our rivers and streams. 
  • Don't let your dog POOP in anyone's yard but yours - it's your dog! Anything other than that is not the way to win friends or to treat your neighbors. :)
  • Be considerate of your neighbors - take prompt action to control your pet’s barking. Although your dog’s barking may be a joyful sound to you, your neighbors may not fully appreciate it, so don’t allow your puppy’s “joyful noise” to become a nuisance. 
 
At the Dog Park, remember:
  • There are two separate fenced-in areas for the dogs. 
  • Please keep the gate between the two sections closed so that dogs don't run between areas.
  • Dogs must be 30 pounds or less to enter small dog park.
  • For the safety of all pets, please abide by the rules.
  • Please play in the "sandbox" politely and follow the rules - there is a reason for rules – your safety and enjoyment.
