Important!!! COYOTE ALERT!!!!!

We have had multiple sightings of Coyotes in our neighborhood and highly suggest you keep all your small pets safely indoors. While most of the time coyotes move around at night, they have recently been spotted during the daylight hours as well. So protect your pets and keep them inside. Do not leave food out for your pets. This appeal is for the safety of your pets and all the neighborhood pets. If coyotes are finding food in our neighborhood, be that animal or food, they will continue to stay here. So do yourself, your pets and your neighbors a favor and keep your pets inside!! We already have a number of missing cats in the neighborhood.

Dallas is increasing its emphasis on neighborhood-level "beat" policing and code-compliance efforts designed to help people solve
potential code violations rather than ticket them.

Alley Signs are here and will be delivered to you when payment is received. So be watching for your sign. If you have not paid yet, send your payment to P.O Box 820803, Dallas, Tx 75382-0803. Make your check payable to MPUM. Questions, send to info@mpum.com.

Watch for the above signs on our 16 VIP patrol cars. The more volunteers we have the better coverage we will all enjoy so please think about your time and even if you have 30 minutes a month, consider helping us patrol the neighborhood.

If you have any questions about VIP at all Dottie Giesler at 214-349-7028
or send an email to info@mpum.com

Public Works Department has been writing parking tickets for cars parked facing the wrong way on city streets including those in our immediate neighborhood. If you park your car in the street, be sure you do not park your car facing the incorrect direction and avoid a parking ticket!!

Carrie Clark is our neighborhood "Pet Person" If you lose or find a pet or have questions about the city pet laws or have any other pet issue, contact Carrie. She can be reached by phone at 214-356-3859 or notify her via email at mpumpets@sbcglobal.net

You can send reports to Code Compliance using The City of Dallas' new online reports. Make our neighborhood the best it can be. Either call 311 or use the new online capability to report neighborhood problems. Click the link below to see a list of all the kinds of issues you can report.

Recycle!

Our neighborhood receives funds for all Aluminum deposited in these two igloos. The igloos are now located in the parking lot of Town North Bible Church at Town North & Northwest Highway. So save that Aluminum!

Our neighborhood ONLY recieves credit for Aluminum placed in these containers. We DO NOT receive any credit at all from Aluminum placed in the new Blue Containers from the City.

So if you would like to support your neighborhood, don't forget to take your Aluminum to our neighborhood igloos!! Then recycle everything else in the new Blue Containers from the City.
