EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM CELL PHONE REGISTRATION During the April 2011 Oak Hill wildfire residents in the fire area were notified by the “reverse 911” Emergency Notification system (“ENS”) of the need to evacuate their homes. This notification gave families time to safely evacuate. The ENS system has recently added the ability for residents to register cell phone numbers to also be called in the case of an emergency. You can register your cell phone number on line at http://wireless.capcog.org ENS calls are only made in emergency situations where property or human life is in jeopardy.

Village of The Hills Budget 2010 - 2011
POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND REMOVAL OF TREES AND OTHER LANDSCAPING ON PROPERTY OWNED BY THE VILLAGE In many cases Village owned land backs up to residents’ back yards, and from time to time various residents have landscaped adjacent portions of the Village owned land, placed trampolines, swings and other private property in the public areas, and made other uses of the areas. Often these private uses of the public areas have resulted in disputes between neighbors. The Hills Board of Aldermen has approved the policy and procedure for the maintenance and removal of trees and other landscaping on property owned by the village. Click here to read the policy. If you are planning any activities in the public areas, including dumping, cutting of trees and bushes, and the placement of private property in said areas, read the policy and fill out the proper form to do so. The form must be submitted to the Village offices and after being reviewed you will be notified of the decision. Click here to print the form. Please call the Village offices at 261-6281 if you have questions or comments regarding the public areas.
COYOTES Reports of sightings of coyotes in The Hills should remind us that coyotes are indigenous to this part of the country. They continue to survive in areas that have become urbanized. Efforts to eradicate them in various parts of our area have been unsuccessful for the most part. Please keep your small pets under close supervision. Cats seem to be particularly delicious to the coyote palate. Do not leave pet food outside. If you feed a pet outdoors make sure you bring the food inside when the pet is finished eating and never leave food outside overnight.
SECURITY AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE The Hills has been most fortunate in having an extremely capable Deputy Constable who not only polices our roads but is charged with upholding the laws of the State of Texas. That includes vandalism by juveniles and criminal acts by those of all ages. He has solved many of the acts of vandalism that have occurred in our community and restitution to those affected has been made in most cases. If you, your home, property or vehicle is the object of vandalism or a criminal act call “911” which will alert both the constable and the sheriff’s office and also call The Hills Security at 261-0945 so that an incident report may be filed (this phone number is also listed in the Lakeway Residents Directory). The city again encourages parents to supervise their youngsters and their children’s friends. Several acts of vandalism in the city park have resulted in extra costs and time spent by volunteers in both cleaning up and contacting contractors.
Operation of Golf Carts on The Hills Roads State law allows unlicensed and unregistered golf carts to be driven on public streets to access the golf course during daylight hours. However, the Constable may issue citations for golf cart violations of traffic laws and unsafe operation – reckless conduct.
The Hills The Hills has been an incorporated city in Texas since 1997. The United States Post Office has designated our official address as, “The Hills, Texas 78738”. If you are having checks, stationery, address labels, etc. containing your home address printed you might want to make sure that “The Hills”, not “Austin or Lakeway”, appear on those items.
