What they’re saying

“The commitment she has to the community is second to none. When you call 911, it can be one of the worst days of your life. Chief Ramon realizes that and wants to help ease the anxiety people feel. That’s why she is never complacent about training, equipment, or anything else that impacts the safety of the community.” NICK BUONAROSA, DISTRICT CHIEF OF SUPPRESSION

"I wish I had time to name every hurricane, ood, and ice storm that she faced with ... the determination to take care of our personnel and the community at whatever the cost. She would not leave our command center until each event was over, using her own resources when needed to get food to our personnel, our stranded citizens, and even their pets." COURTNEY CHUMLEY, DISTRICT CHIEF OF EMS

Amy Ramon joined the Cy-Fair Fire Department at 20 years old as a volunteer reghter, and this March she received the Texas Fire Chiefs Association’s 2024 Fire Chief of the Year Award. “The re service is a calling; people get into it and never leave,” CFFD Chief of Operations Brent Scalise said in a news release. “Amy is the perfect example of that. She has a skill set that is not easily found in the re service. Not only does she have an understanding of all aspects of emergency services, she’s also an attorney and a nancial expert.” Cy-Fair re chief receives statewide honor

worked her way up to station o†cer, board member and assistant chief of EMS until she accepted the role of re chief in mid-2014. About ve years later, she led the department through a transition from a volunteer re department to one that has full-time, part-time and volunteer re ghters on staŽ. She continues to oversee the CFFD’s growth today with plans to add eight new re stations over the next several years. Ramon has a bachelor’s degree in business management and a Juris Doctorate degree from South Texas College of Law. She works with Lone Star College locally to advance the re science and EMS industries, serves as an instructor for the Texas Fire Chiefs Academy and is on the executive board of the Harris County Fire Chiefs Association.

The Texas Fire Chiefs Association is a nonpro t that serves as the liaison between re service leadership across the state and the Texas Legislature. According to the release, each re department across the state gets one vote to decide who wins the annual award. Ramon is the rst woman to receive it. “I’m beyond thrilled with this recognition,” she said in a statement. “But mostly I’m grateful: for the frontline responders who save lives, the leaders who show up every day and give it their all, the commissioners who’ve made sure our crews have fair compensation and the best equipment, and the community that turns up for events and supports us every step along the way.” Ramon began her re service career in 1990 as a volunteer re ghter with the CFFD and

A bad experience with my terminally ill father. He was discharged and transferred to a rehabilitation center. A 20-minute drive took three hours, leaving my father dehydrated and exhausted, and my family anxious about his whereabouts. I’ve bootstrapped a multimillion-dollar company. I aim to use my business acumen and creativity to help ESD 11 become an industry leader.

Over the last 20 years, the incumbents have been nancially irresponsible. We’re over $80 million in debt with decreased quality of prehospital care. I will bring real world experience when it comes to being nancially responsible and provide the highest level of prehospital care through paramedicine, not EMT-Basic.

Knowledge of life without adequate EMS service. Volunteer spirit, willingness to serve and protect our community where we live.

Education

BY HANNAH NORTON CONTRIBUTIONS BY DAVE MANNING

Report: Nearly 70% of Texas teachers considering quitting

Most Texas teachers are feeling burnt out, and many have considered leaving the profession, according to a Feb. 27 report from the Texas branch of the American Federation of Teachers. Public school employees surveyed said low salaries and excessive workloads were among their biggest concerns. Over 3,200 union members were surveyed from Jan. 23-Feb. 13, months after Texas lawmakers declined to raise teacher salaries amid a €ght over public subsidies for private education. What they’re saying Cy-Fair ISD teacher Patrick Cooney said he believes the state has not provided adequate resources for teachers. “A content teacher who feels valued is an immea- surable positive inˆuence to all the students that teacher talks to, whether it’s in the classroom, or in the hallway, or on the athletic €eld,” Cooney said in a video provided by the Texas AFT. “Teachers need to get paid more, period.”

Over 13% of teachers left public education between fall 2021 and fall 2022, according to Texas Education Agency data. Texas AFT President Zeph Capo characterized this as a “record high” attrition rate as some school districts are cutting their budgets and struggling to €ll job openings. Also of note CFISD Superintendent Doug Killian in a Feb. 27 statement asked for input from the community on how the district can generate new revenue and cut costs. He said Texas school districts have not received an increase in funding from the state Legislature since 2019. Community Impact previously reported CFISD is expecting a $73.6 million shortfall in 2023-24. “There are always unanticipated consequences to recommendations, and we will evaluate all of the ideas to see what can be implemented and with the least impact on the exceptionalness of the students, staš and district,” Killian said in the statement.

Educators weigh in

Three-quarters of surveyed K-12 employees said they experienced burnout in the past year. 69% of educators surveyed said they considered quitting their job in the past year. Texas educators reported working an average of 50 hours per week. One- fth of teachers said they worked a second job outside of their school district. Implementing a 1% pay increase across CFISD costs more than $9 million .

Telge Road construction to continue this year Harris County Precinct 3 recently completed roadwork at the intersection of Boudreaux and Telge roads, and ocials con‚rmed work will pick up on additional portions of Telge Road this year. The update At the end of March, crews ‚nished installing a trac signal and rehabilitating the asphalt roadway at the intersection. The $1.3 million project spanned across Harris County precincts 3 and 4, with management by Precinct 3 and funding contributions from both. What’s next Precinct 3 is working on three other portions of Telge Road. Each project involves converting a two-lane asphalt road with roadside ditches to a four-lane divided concrete road with a median, including storm sewer installation, ocials said.

Gessner Road extension wraps up Following delays, a project to extend and rebuild Gessner Road from West Road to Fallbrook Drive is coming to an end. The project is expected to open to drivers in mid-April, ocials with Harris County Precinct 1 con‚rmed. New trac lights at Fallbrook Drive and Windfern Road were also included. Long story short Construction on the four-lane roadway dates back to the summer of 2021 when the project was in Harris County Precinct 4’s jurisdiction, Community Impact previously reported. Boundaries were redrawn in late 2021, putting Gessner Road in Precinct 1. The project was put on hold again in May 2022 when a previous contractor left the project, and work resumed in early 2023.

purchased 77 acres in Bridgeland Central for a research and development campus. In addition to job opportunities, Bridgeland is expanding education options. Harmony Public Schools is opening a charter school in Creekland Village this fall, and Cypress Christian School is relocating to Prairieland Village in 2025. Local real estate experts said Bridgeland is known for its amenities, Cy-Fair ISD schools and nature focus. The 11,500-acre community has about 22,000 residents today and will be home to 70,000 at build-out. Bridgeland sold 985 homes in 2023—up from 567 in 2022, according to real estate consultant RCLCO. In RCLCO’s annual master-planned community rankings based on the number of homes sold, Bridgeland earned the No. 5 spot nationwide and No. 2 in Texas. “We expect to sell over 1,000 homes this year, … and it won’t end there,” Carman said.

Bridgeland’s developer Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. broke ground on the rst phase of its 925-acre town center in late February near the Grand Parkway. Village Green at Bridgeland Central, a 70-acre project, will feature a new H-E-B opening this year; 28,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space; and a 49,000-square-foot oˆce building—all within walking distance of multifamily housing and hike and bike trails. “Ultimately, Bridgeland Central will be restaurants, retail, oˆces, hospitality, entertainment, medical—just about every use that you would imagine would create a downtown urban hub for the community,” said Jim Carman, president of the Houston Region for Howard Hughes. Carman said Bridgeland will one day have 1.5 jobs per rooftop so residents can live and work in the community. Last August, Chevron

What they’re saying

Zooming out

homes at build-out by 2027 or 2028. “[Interest rates] have shot up in the last 18 months, and a™ordability has been more and more of a challenge—and Houston is still one of the most a™ordable large metro areas in the country,” he said. “So we do what we can to deliver a quality product at a price point that’s reasonable ... for today’s consumer.” Winthrop Realty Group Principal Andrew Armour said multifamily housing values have decreased in the last two years due to increasing interest rates and property insurance rates. Because of this, he said he does not anticipate a large in¤ux of new apartment complexes in the near future. Instead, he said he expects to see more service-oriented developments pop up, including retail strip centers, o¥ce condos and warehouses, self-storage facilities, restaurants and car washes. Businesses that require a critical mass, such as medical facilities and specialty stores, will drive development along Hwy. 290, he said.

According to Freddie Mac, mortgage rates have ranged from 2.65%-7.79% since 2020. As of press time, the average interest rate for a 30-year ’xed-rate mortgage was 6.79%. Cypress Realtor Maelia Davis said she thinks buyers are getting used to higher interest rates as home sales are picking up. As of March, she said she was busier than she was when interest rates were at record lows. Davis said many ’rst-time homebuyers are purchasing and renovating older homes in Cy-Fair’s more established neighborhoods. The average home sales price in the 77433 ZIP code was $467,723 in February, according to data provided by Boutwell Properties. Kulpinski, vice president of ’eld operations for Taylor Morrison’s Houston division, with new builds starting in the high $200,000s. The joint venture between TriPointe Homes and Taylor Morrison broke ground in 2022 and is slated to have 1,400 single-family Mason Woods in 77433 is poised as a relatively a™ordable option, said Bob

“I think there’s a lot of pent-up demand of people that held last year ... because the shock of double the interest rate

kept people from going into the market. But life happens ... and people have to buy and sell.” MAELIA DAVIS, REMAX

PROPERTY GROUP BROKEROWNER

“We have much more patience than the typical developer. … The Woodlands

Town Center was built out over several decades, and

I would expect to see a similar timeline [for Bridgeland Central].”
