Local Intermediate School Helps Our Marsh

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Students form Westbrook Intermediate School planted sea grass on the new marsh.  Galveston Bay Foundation sponsored the event.  This will be our final planting.  The marsh is really coming along, and it is looking nice and green.  Thanks to everyone who participated in this planting project.  I know I speak for all the Isla Del Sol residents when I say “Thanks so Much” to Joe Santangelo for all of his hard work on the project.
--Kathy Hood, IDS Vice President

Our marsh restoration project is now complete.  Click here to see the entire history of this project.

Perfect Pets

Please remember to keep your pets leashed while walking them, and please be courteous to your neighbors and pick up after your pet.

Getting Around in Golf Carts

There are many of us that own and enjoy golf carts, but please remember they are only to be driven by licensed drivers.

Shark Lookout!

Scott Allen, 3904 Nueces Drive,  caught this 5'10" bull shark in the Isla Del Sol canal behind his home.

Swimmers in the canal need to take heed as Scott tells us he has seen others.
 

Keep Fishing Pier & Boat Ramp Locked

We’ve had recent problems with the locks to both the fishing pier and boat ramp.  Both locks are now repaired and use the same key that you should have.  If you do not have a key and or have lost yours, contact CKM Management.  There is a $5 fee for the key.  The pier and ramp are for Isla residents and guests only, please remember to “lock up” when you’re finished.

Keep Your Grass Cut

Isla’s management company and your Board of Directors have been flooded with complaints from property owners in Isla about vacant lots and some yards that have not been mowed regularly.  This is unfair to your neighbors.

The policy for a “Force Cut” is as follows.  Following the cut, you will be sent a bill.  If the bill is not paid, it is collected the same as the assessment.  Three letter notices will be sent and then a lien notice will be filed with the County Clerk’s office.  None of us want it to come to that. 

You can visit the Classified section of this website and pick from the listings to find someone to cut your grass if you’re not able to do it.  As always, your cooperation in keeping Isla looking good is appreciated.

Geotubes Damage Easily

Along with trying to create a new marsh, comes the problem of keeping this beautiful, newly created area free from litter and damage in order to allow it time to grow.  The black fabric geotubes that you see out there are very fragile and susceptible to easily being damaged.  Fish hooks, anchors, anything that could possibly tear the fabric, are all threats to the ultimate success of this project.  Please help spread the word – KEEP OFF THE GEOTUBES.  As a property owner in Isla, you have every right to be proud and protective of this area.

Be A Good Neighbor

Since most homes in Isla are weekend get-aways, and are not occupied full time, it would be nice if we all chip in and keep an eye out for each other.  Just a few courtesies would make a big difference!

  • Pick up trash in your yard, your neighbor's yard or any of the common areas

  • Bring in your neighbor's trash can if you know they are not there.

  • Report street lights that are out by calling 1-800-332-7143.  Know the 6 digit number on the light post and a nearby address when you call.

  • Report disorderly conduct at rental properties to GARM (Galveston Association of Rental Management) at 409-682-3606

  • Report any suspicious activity to the Galveston police.
