ASSESSMENTS
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. Because of you as responsible homeowners we again did not raise our 2022 assessments since 2017! With 95% collection we are able to stay on budget even with expenses and service increases.

POOL AND PARKS
Since we had a great year we upgraded our men and women bathroom area, repainted the pavilion and painted the outside of our pool room. We will also be doing at the end of March some upgrades in the Kiddie Park area. We will continue supplying doggie bags for you to walk your pets. We will also be upgrading our cul de sacs with some new shrubbery and plants.
Hopefully, we are hoping to be able to have a pool opening event again like we have in the past. We will need pool volunteers to close the pool during the pool season. So please keep this in mind. Without volunteers we may not be able to manage the pool. Presently the 3 Board Members take care of the pool with the assistance of another 2 volunteers. Contact Wendy Golden, CPV Manager at Chaparral @ 281-463-1777 if you want to be a volunteer.
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.
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.
DOG LEASH LAW
We are still receiving many complaints that dogs are running loose in the neighborhood. If this is the case, call animal control! If you are walking your dogs, keep them on a leash at ALL times. This is a deed restriction and also against Harris County Leash Law. Be considerate of others. Many children are afraid of animals and also people in the neighborhood do not appreciate dogs running around loose in their yards using it for doggie stations. Use the green belt area.

The first and 2nd quarter we had couple of incidents all due to unlocked doors. The 3rd and 4th quarter we had no reports. This is due to vigilance and keeping our ears and eyes open.
AVOID thieves or break ins by making sure you lock your cars, doors and back yard gate entries at all times. Do not give them a reason to break in to steal! Most incidents are brought on upon ourselves! A big shout out and thank you also to our Copperfield Police Department and its deputies who have our backs and are there ready to protect us.

TRASH SERVICES
Trash services are curb services and you furnish the trash bins every Tuesday and Friday. Our Village does not have recycling. Several times when our Waste Management contract was due, the community as in the past voted it down. You are billed separately for your service on a quarterly basis. It is not included in your yearly assessment fees. Please make sure you have paid your trash service or your trash will not be picked up. Visit WCA/GFL work specifications in the new online monthly newsletter under MyNeighborhoodNews.com. Questions may be directed also by calling 281-368-8397 or website www.gflenv.com.
DEED RESTRICTIONS VIOLATIONS
SCS follows a strict process of notification letters over a period of time and after all attempts fail to have the homeowner correct the violation(s) legal action may follow.
REMEMBER it is AGAINST our deed restrictions to have COMMERCIAL VEHICLES OR VANS, TRAILERS, BOATS or JET SKIS in the street, driveway or parked in the Cul de Sacs. You will be charged a fee if you have been cited before for the same offense or for repeated violations. This offense creates the inability for emergency vehicles’ access to respond to emergency calls at times and therefore considered a serious violation.
DO NOT PAINT HOME, WINDOW OR DOOR TRIMS AND GARAGE DOORS WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL. If it does not meet our ACC Specifications you will have to repaint. Avoid unnecessary time and money by getting prior approval to ANY changes being made to the outside of your property or home.
DO NOT DISREGARD DEED RESTRICTION LETTERS! Important that you read and act accordingly. If you think you received this in error, please contact Chaparral Management immediately. Repeated cites or non-compliance letters will automatically incur a fee against your account.
GO TO THE PORTAL TO OBTAIN A COPY OF DEED RESTRICTIONS.
