(CPV) A WORD FROM THE BOARD

The Board announces the new location of SCS Management and its new Name. Please see announcement below:

SCS MOVES AND UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

It is our pleasure to announce that we have relocated our growing business to a new office location on Monday July 19^th.

As you know, our office - and home of 25 years - was destroyed in the February freeze. We are excited of our new office off I-10 and Highway 6 in the Energy Corridor (1400 Broadfield Blvd, Suite 600). The office was opened on July 19th and is now open for Board members and homeowners.

We look forward to inviting you to visit our new facility! We are excited for you to see our new office and reconnect with our staff.

Note that SCS is now part of Chaparral Management. Since the beginning of 2020, SCS and Chaparral Management (located in Spring) have been “sister companies” in Houston, operated under common ownership. To simplify our operations, we have combined them into one single brand. Going forward, SCS will operate under the Chaparral Management name. So what does it mean to you as a homeowner?

Not much! Your manager is the same and contacts remain the same. We are not changing our systems of communications.

Operating under a single brand allows us to more effectively invest in improving our customer service, simplify our operations, maintain one website instead of two, improve our collaboration and better share back-office resources in a way that improves outcomes for our clients. This also allows us to focus our marketing efforts around a single identity. It is bittersweet to be retiring the SCS name, but we are excited about a fresh start with a new office and a new banner on the door. 

Again, our new office location is in the Energy Corridor area of Houston, just north of Interstate 10 near Highway 6.

Please update your records with our new address. Our phone numbers and email addresses will remain the same, as well as our website address and Facebook page.

A sign will remain on the door of our former location with the correct address for those that have a need to visit our office.

This announcement will be put on your homeowner association portal and was part of our correspondence the first of July. We ask that you update our address in communications to your residents: newsletter, website, social media pages, etc. Our new facility offers us the opportunity to better serve you and your community. Our staff looks forward to continuing to serve your needs. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

SPECIAL THANKS

A SPECIAL THANK YOU to all those homeowners who participated in the de-annexation of our Residential from the Commercial side of CPPOA. We were able to collect the required signatures to proceed. Our legal department will be presenting our case this coming month.

SPECIAL THANKS to our Pool committee for their volunteer service at the pool.

SPECIAL THANKS to all our participants and winners of Yard of the Month. You make our Community look great thru your efforts.

FALL GARAGE SALE October 23^rd 

Mark your calendars!!! The fall garage sale is coming up on October 23^rd. This is a good time to clean out your attics and garage of items you no longer need or use. Again, due to Covid you must take all precautions necessary and CPV will not sponsor the event. It will be up to each homeowner to proceed at their own risk. 

OTHER ISSUES AND NEWS

If you want to receive or be kept updated on news, events or announcements, please keep your email address updated with CHAPPARAL Management. Since mail service is not always dependable, this is a second method to receive news or important notices. 

CHAPARRAL (SCS) PORTAL:

You can continue to use the same password etc. to sign in as before. For now and until further notice it will remain the same. Their new and improved layout and navigation will be a great tool for you and our residents for viewing, getting answers to your questions and communicating with your team.

The login process is unchanged.

• Access the portal here: https://portal.scsmgmt.com

• Continue using your existing username and password

It is important that you get involved in your community! Get signed up in the new SCS (Chapparal) portal to apply for architectural changes to your home, roof, paint changes, etc. This new portal also allows you to make payments, etc. on your existing account and much more.

Architectural Review Committee:

Remember that any changes to our property like patio covers, sheds, new roofs, house painting, fencing, etc will need approval from the Architectural Review Committee. You can obtain the approval form from the new portal on line or our new office located 1400 Broadfield Blvd, Suite 600. 

DEAD TREES AND SHRUBS:

By now your trees, palms, shrubs or flowerbeds would have come back to life from the freeze in February. Many yards still need dead landscape to be removed. Please remove them. You will be receiving a deed restriction letter if not removed. Thank you for your cooperation in helping your neighborhood look good.

POOL AND PARKS:

The pool is now officially closed. Thanks to all our volunteers that helped us keep our pool open and special thanks to our homeowners for doing their part by keeping the pool tables sanitized before leaving and abiding by our new posted Covid rules. 

Keep in mind that next year we will need a new Committee Chairman with volunteers for the 2022 year. The Committee Chairman who has been in charge of the pool is stepping down after 26 years. We will need a new Chairman and at least 4 volunteers to assist us. We will get more into this subject as we are getting close to the 2022 season. If interested, please contact Chapparal Management.

SPECIAL THANKS TO THE POOL COMMITTEE, which consisted of 2 homeowners and Board Members. Without them our pool hours and times would be selective. We desperately need volunteers for next year. 

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.
