The District’s Independent Contractors

The District’s Board of Directors would like to remind its residents that each of the District’s consultants, vendors or any other of its contractors (including Harris County Constable Precinct No. 4) are independent contractors, and therefore, none of them are directly employed by the District. The District does not control the means and methods through which its independent contractors perform services.

If you have any comments, questions or concerns regarding any of the District’s independent contractors, please do not hesitate to inform the Board. You may provide such information over the phone, through an email or by direct website message. The District’s contact information and messaging system can be found on the District’s website, under the “Contact” tab, https://www.hcmud450.org/contact/. To contact Harris County Constable Precinct No. 4 directly, call (281) 376-3472.

Board of Directors Members’ Opinions

It has come to the District’s Board of Directors attention that recent online communications have surfaced indicating that opinions expressed by member(s) of the District’s Board of Directors during discourse with other District residents, have been incorrectly asserted as being the position of the Board of Directors, as a whole. The Board, as the governing body of a governmental entity, only takes positions by voting on matters affecting the District at properly-called and conducted Board meetings. Please understand that each member of the Board has their own personal thoughts and opinions, just like any other person. When members of the Board attend in-person events, HOA meetings or other similar functions or interact online, they are often doing so in their personal capacity and do not speak on behalf of or represent the Board unless they explicitly state that they are present in their representative capacity for the District’s Board of Directors.

You may, as always, attend the District’s Board meetings if you have questions or concerns about the District. The Board of Directors of the District meets on the second Monday of every month at 10:15 am, and the agendas for and minutes from such meetings can be found on the District’s website, under the “Meetings” tab, https://www.hcmud450.org/meetings/.

Storm Debris and Drain Blockage

To reduce flooding and ensure that storm water continues to drain uninhibited the District’s storm water drainage facilities must remain unblocked. Following a large storm, such as a hurricane, the most impactful things you can do to help are as follows:

  • REPORT DEBRIS AND DAMAGED FENCES to the Harris County Commissioner, Precinct 3 (“Precinct 3”) debris hotline at 713-274-3880. You can also call Precinct 3’s dispatch at 713-274-3100 if the debris hotline is busy.
  • Manually clear storm inlets from visible debris.
  • Do not place, pile or store any collected storm debris near storm water drainage facilities such as storm drains, manholes or culverts.
  • If possible, do not park cars on the street near or across from storm debris piles. This ensures that any trucks and equipment used by Precinct 3 for cleanup will be able to access the debris.
