(2008-04-12)The ISO's (Insurance Service Office) Public Protection Classification (PPC) Program establishes fire insurance premiums for residential and commercial properties.
What is the PPC program?
ISO collects information on municipal fire-protection efforts in communities throughout
the United States. In each of those communities, ISO analyzes relevant data using a Fire
Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). This schedule is used to measure the major elements
of a community's fire suppression system to include how well a community receives fire
alarms and dispatches it firefighting resources, the community's fire resources and its
water supply. From this communities are then assigned a Public Protection Classification
from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents exemplary public protection, and Class 10 indicates that
the area's fire-suppression program doesn't meet ISO's minimum criteria.
What is Fort Worth's Rating?
As of September of 2007, Fort Worth's rating improved from a Class 3 to a Class 2. This
improved rating could result in a decrease in your homeowners insurance premiums. Homeowners
should contact their insurance agent for further information.
Come and join us for a Town Hall Meeting! The meeting will be held on March 31 from 7-9pm at the Alliance Baptist Church at 8400 Park Vista Blvd. You will get the opportunity to hear what is going on locally in your district and get a chance to meet the following people:
So come and join us! For more information contact your Association Manager at 682-286-1444 or at Shannon.Humphrey@premiercommunities.net.

Help keep Fort Worth beautiful during the 23nd annual Cowtown Community Cleanup. In conjunction with the Great American Cleanup, join thousands of volunteers citywide from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 29 to collect litter from area parks, neighborhoods and rights of way. The city will provide free trash bags, T-shirts and gloves to all registered groups while supplies last.

The PID 6 Advisory Board has decided to cancel the 2008 PID 6 Easter Egg Scramble. The event was a success in past years due to a dedicated team of committee members who planned the event and the efforts of all the volunteers from our community.
Sadly, this year finds us with only one committee member and a shortage of volunteers. We are hopeful that members of the community will volunteer their time over the next year to help plan this event and in 2009 the Easter Bunny can reappear in PID 6.

That is why Park Glen is asking you to join us on January 28 at 6 p.m., at the Alliance Baptist Church for the Volunteer Round Up. Bring your opinions, ideas and your time. We know that everyone volunteers for different reasons - some may do it to take on a leadership role, to make a difference in your community, to challenge yourself in new ways or just for a new experience.

Unfortunately, the incidents of smashed windshields continue. Vehicles throughout PID 6 have had their windshields smashed with rocks and bricks from homeowner's front yards. Most of these incidents have happened between 6 p.m. & 11 p.m, which leads the PID 6 Patrol to believe they are being committed by teenagers who are possibly using bikes to ride throughout PID 6. If you see any suspicious behavior in your neighborhood please call 911. If you have a tip, e-mail PID 6 Patrol.

Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 for tips that lead to the arrests of individuals involved this vandalism. You can remain anonymous. Call 817-469-TIPS.
(2007-10-29)With the recent drop in temperatures and more falling leaves are a reminder that homeowners can prepare their lawns, gardens, and flower beds in preparation for the winter months ahead. Other handy reminders for your autumn "to do" list may include covering the outdoor water facets on the outside of your home to prevent frozen pipes, mulching in grass clippings as lawns will soon go dormant for the winter months, cleaning out the dead plants from the flower beds around your home, pruning trees and bushes that have gone dormant, or adding pre-emergent to the lawns are all steps that can be taken to have hardier and healthier trees, shrubs, plants and lawns next spring. We appreciate your input and welcome those interested in volunteerism in Park Glen.

Park Glen has prepared a petition regarding the boundary adjustment. Please download the petition, print it, and take the petition down your street to collect one signature per household.
Please forward the signed petitions by the Friday, September 7, 2007 deadline to:
Tammy CombsWe've designed a new t-shirt with the Don't Split Park Glen Again! logo (click on the logo to see a larger image). The t-shirts will be given to the residents who volunteer to collect petitions as well as attend the KISD Board meetings on Monday, August 27 and Monday, September 10.
To ensure we have enough t-shirts and to enlist as a volunteer, please send an e-mail ASAP to Tammy Combs. The goal is to have a large group of residents attend the KISD Board meetings wearing the bright gold t-shirts to show the Board that Park Glen residents are concerned about the re-zoning of the school boundaries.
If you have questions, phone Tammy at 682-286-1455.
(2007-08-23)Park Glen Neighborhood Association Members, Recently a letter was mailed out to the Park Glen Neighborhood Association members informing them of the Keller ISD High School Boundary Adjustment. The letter stated the HSJB2 plan would keep Park Glen intact. The Association apologizes for the erroneous information printed regarding the HSJB2 plan. In fact, there is currently NO plan that keeps Park Glen together. The HSJB2 plan actually separates Parkview, The Hills, The Glen, and The Vistas from everyone else.
In summary, there are three plans in review; the HSJB2 plan has the most potential to be modified to put all of Park Glen together at Central. To move for this modification, it is extremely important to make your voices heard by sending emails to the KISD Board Members and the BARC Board members. Please see the article below (Keller ISD High School Boundary Adjustment) for the list of email addresses and more information on the KISD Boundary Adjustment. It should also be noted that we are discussing KISD only. There is a portion of Park Glen that falls in Birdville ISD.
Thank you,
Park Glen Neighborhood Association

(2007-08-25)It has been brought to the attention of the Park Glen Boundary Committee that there are some Park Glen residents going around bad-mouthing Fossil Ridge. As the Park Glen Boundary Committee has stated in past meetings, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Fossil Ridge High School. Prior to 2001, Park Glen residents proudly attended Fossil. Those of us who have gone around collecting signatures door-to-door have heard nothing but positive remarks about this school from the parents of children who had attended it. Our argument to stay in Central is based on facts. The facts are that Park Glen was a completed community before Central opened its doors and has been the anchor community for CHS since. Park Glen has been rezoned more than any other community in the district and should not have to move again to accommodate the growth of other communities. If the KISD Board chooses to put the entire community or even a significant portion into Central, then yes, a lot of For Sale signs will go up and your property values will likely drop. However, this will be do to the fact that no-one will want to be rezoned AND send their children to an overcrowded school that continues to grow, not due to anything wrong with FRHS. If you hear anyone spreading incorrect information about FRHS, please correct them on the spot.

(2007-09-14)OK folks, it's our last chance for a while to impress upon the Keller ISD Board that Park Glen is serious about our boundaries.

We need a strong showing - bring someone with you if you can!

Like most of us, you probably assumed the beautiful, eight-acre stretch of land along the Trinity River Hike and Bike Trail, near Rogers Road, is a city park. But, in fact, it's private property, recently purchased by Chesapeake Energy. Chesapeake plans to remove more than two acres of the trees there to drill up to eight wells for natural gas, under Colonial Country Club and Union Pacific rail yard.
A growing number of concerned citizens are working to persuade Chesapeake to move its drilling site a few hundred feet to the north to the Union Pacific industrialized area. If this were done, the eight-acre tree grove could be spared and steps could be taken to convert it to a park.
A City-sponsored Public Forum regarding this issue is being held:
Thursday, September 6 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Capstone Church, 1700 Rogers Road
This is the building with the University Park Church sign.
If you care about saving what many consider the most beautiful section of the Trinity Trail system, show your support by coming to the Forum along with your friends and family.
Speak out and voice your opinion. Speak out for the trees. Speak out for Fort Worth.

(2007-02-09)The City of Fort Worth will collect Christmas trees as part of its normal yard waste pickup schedule following the Christmas holidays.
City residents can place their Christmas trees by the curb on their weekly pickup day. The trees may be up to 10 feet tall. Flocked trees are acceptable for curbside collection. Trees CANNOT contain holiday decorations, stands or lights. Residents should NOT put the trees in plastic bags or other containers. The trees should be left uncovered when set out for collection.
The deadline is Feb. 2 for putting Christmas trees that are up to 10 feet tall in residents' normal yard waste pickup. After Feb. 2, residents still can place their Christmas trees curbside as normal yard waste pickup. However, if the Christmas tree is more than 8 feet tall, it must be cut in half. The city's yard waste collection crew will take the trees to be recycled into mulch.
Residents with questions about their pickup schedule can contact the city's Customer Service Center at 817-392-EASY (3279).
Residents also may dispose of their Christmas trees by taking them to either of the city's drop-off stations. Free mulch is available at both locations.
The city's drop-off stations will be closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. They will reopen for normal business hours at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 26, and Tuesday, Jan. 2. The Brennan Drop-Off Station is located at 2400 Brennan Ave. in North Fort Worth, and the Southeast Drop-Off Station is located at 5150 Martin Luther King, Jr. Freeway, one-half mile east of the intersection of U.S. Highway 287 and Village Creek Road.
