A WORD FROM THE BOARD
HOPE/LOVE/PEACE
We HOPE everyone shares their LOVE to all on Valentines Day. LOVE is a free gift that we can give and share with all our family, friends and neighbors.
We pray that year 2022 will bring us PEACE and unity among our Nation and our People. That it will reunite us as it is meant to be as one.
We pray and HOPE that we can continue to overcome the pandemic of Covid along with all other new variances it brings.
We HOPE for PEACE, comfort, good health and joy to all!
A SPECIAL THANK YOU
A special “THANK YOU” for all those homeowners who paid their assessments early or by January 1st or have made the necessary arrangements to pay. With monies coming in we are able to allocate and plan our budget for the year. You show responsibility, respect and care for your community and for your own personal property. Please remember that assessments will be past due and delinquent after February 1st.
A special THANK YOU to our Pool Committee who consists of 1 volunteer besides the 3 Board Members. This has been the same committee for over 5 years. We need volunteers to continue with our pool detail when it opens. If you want to volunteer in May when we plan to open the pool, please contact Chapparal Management. You need to become active in your community!
CHRISTMAS DECORATING CONTEST
Congratulations to our first, second and third place winners for this year’s contest. There were so many homes with beautiful decorations throughout the neighborhood! Everyone is a winner!

NEW HOMEOWNERS
For all new homeowners, WELCOME! The monthly newsletter has all phone numbers you may need as well as information and news throughout the Villages of Copperfield. We urge you to read all your deed restrictions which you should have received a copy at closing; however, you may also obtain them online through portal.scsmgmt.com (as mentioned below) or call Chapparal Management for any questions you may have.
OTHER ISSUES AND NEWS
The Board did not raise assessments for the 2021/22 fiscal year because we were able to stay within our budget and the continued support of our responsible homeowners . We were able to collect 90% or more of our assessments in 2021! We have not had an increase since 2017. Again, keep in mind that all services keep going up every year especially now with the inflation and rising costs of materials and labor. Again we have been able to maintain our budget due to our responsible homeowners.
POOL AND PARKS
Again we must remind everyone that cameras will pick up any illegal activity at all times in the pool/park area.
Hopefully, we can open the pool and parks in May. We will need pool volunteers to close the pool during that time. So please keep this in mind. Without volunteers we may not be able to manage the pool. Right now the 3 Board Members take care of the pool with the help of 2 other volunteers. Contact Chapparal Management if you want to be a volunteer.
POOL TRESPASSING: Jumping over the fence when the pool is closed is trespassing and illegal.
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS CALL AND REPORT IT! Program your phone for the non-emergency phone number to the Sheriff’s department (713-221-6000 #6) or crimes in progress dial 911. You do not have to give out your name.
ILLEGAL PARKING: No parking in the Pool/Park area is allowed after 9 PM. We will begin towing any vehicle seen after hours at the owners’ expense. It does not matter if you are a homeowner or a guest visiting the homeowner. It is illegal and considered trespassing. If you notice a suspicious car or cars parked after hours, contact the non emergency sheriff department so a deputy can be dispatched.
If you suspect illegal activity, trespassing, suspicious activity or illegal parking after hours call the police right away at 713-221-6000 prompt 6. You do not have to give out your name only the pool/parks address, which is 7410 Field Ridge.
