FOR THE GOOD OF LAKEVILLE<br />
Look around. Are you proud of our Community? The <strong>Lakeville</strong> Community<br />
can only be as good as those who live here. The Community in general<br />
looks good and many people comment on that fact. Just think how much<br />
better it could look if we all pitched in to help. This means volunteering<br />
and working with the Board, the Management Company, keeping your<br />
property in good condition, pay your assessments on time and serving<br />
on Committees. With this kind of cooperation <strong>Lakeville</strong> will look even<br />
better and be safer. Our property values will continue to increase and we<br />
would have a Community we can all be proud to call Home. Please step<br />
up, contact Spectrum or the Board and let them know you care. Thanks.<br />

DEED RESTRICTIONS REMINDERS<br />
Garage Sales: Did you know? Two garage sales a year is the limit under<br />
Texas Law. The Limited Sales, Excise and Use Tax Act says that people<br />
who are not operating a business are permitted to have no more than<br />
two sales of their goods each year. If you exceed this amount, you will<br />
be treated as operating a business and you’ll need to obtain a sales tax<br />
permit from the state. A quick Internet search reveals that a number of<br />
Texas cities also have ordinances limiting garage sales and some don’t<br />
allow them at all. Houston has no such ordinance, however, according to<br />
the city’s website. Instead, the city relies on the state law. Businesses are<br />
not allowed in the community.<br />
Trash Can Containers: Trash cans and Trash are to be out of site and<br />
remain out of view at all times, it takes away from property values.<br />
Street Curbs: Curbs are homeowners’ responsibility to keep clean and<br />
free of debris, (i.e. leaves and trash). Keeping these clean will ensure less<br />
street flooding, trash being forced down and clogging sewer drains.<br />
Oil Stains: If you’re having difficulties getting the oil and grease stains<br />
out from your driveway, there are a few mixtures you can buy at an auto<br />
part store that is less than $10. These mixtures will help get the oil and<br />
grease stains in your driveway.<br />
Streetlights: HOA Assessments pay for streetlights, please report<br />
streetlight outages to: www.centerpointenergy.com/services/electricity/<br />
residential/reportastreetlightoutage, you will need the six digit streetlight<br />
pole number and a nearby address when filing out the on line report.<br />

PETS<br />
Did you know that all pets that reside in Harris County must be registered?<br />
You can register your pet on-line at www.countypets.com.<br />
SCOOP YOUR PET’S POOP<br />
Please remember to be respectful of your neighbors’ yards and the<br />
community grounds. When you take your pet for a walk, come prepared<br />
with a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. If your pet<br />
poops during your walk, please scoop and trash. It may not be the most<br />
fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show that you respect your<br />
fellow neighbors’ and our beautiful community.<br />
HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW<br />
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents.<br />
While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone<br />
who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid<br />
of animals and become frightened, which could result in the child<br />
getting hurt trying to avoid the animal. Harris County Animal Control<br />
advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the<br />
unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or<br />
cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat,<br />
nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”<br />
Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following<br />
circumstances:<br />
1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in<br />
length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable of<br />
controlling or governing the dog or cat in question<br />
2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle<br />
3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not<br />
have access to sidewalk or street.”<br />
While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work<br />
or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained.<br />
Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all<br />
our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect<br />
anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet<br />
owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing<br />
to properly restrain their pet.<br />
To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly restrained<br />
please contact:<br />

19 TH ANNUAL SALUTE TO THE STARS GALA<br />
The Cy-Fair Educational Foundation held its 19 th Annual Salute to the<br />
Stars Gala in honor of Cypress Fairbanks ISD’s 2015-<strong>2016</strong> Spotlight<br />
Teachers on Thursday, October 13, <strong>2016</strong> at The Berry Center.<br />
The evening included performances by the Cypress Creek High School<br />
Drumline and the CFISD District Chamber Choir. Butch Milks announced the<br />
Spotlight Teachers as Dr. Henry personally thanked each for their dedication<br />
to the students of CFISD. As they left the stage, Marie Holmes and Lauri Baker<br />
presented each with a gift and congratulations from the Cy-Fair Educational<br />
Foundation. Lifelong Cy-Fair resident and Cy-Fair Educational Foundation<br />
Trustee, Robert Adam, delivered the keynote speech recognizing this year’s<br />
Spotlight Teachers for their outstanding accomplishments and highlighting<br />
the Foundation for its contribution to Today’s Students - Tomorrow’s Future.<br />
Co-Chairs Lauri Baker and Darlene Hajduk presented Dr. Henry with a check<br />
for $93,025.69 from the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation for innovative staff<br />
development grants. After a successful live auction, the evening closed with<br />
the announcement of three lucky teachers who were awarded cash gifts.<br />
The evening was a tremendous success. The Spotlight Teachers walked<br />
away with gifts from the Foundation, including the beautiful orchid<br />
centerpieces and guests were excited to win one of 132 raffle gift baskets.<br />
Salute to the Stars has raised over $2 million for innovative staff<br />
development grants for district teachers and instructional leaders,<br />
and scholarships for graduating seniors. The Cy-Fair Educational<br />
Foundation was established in 1970 as a non-profit to raise money to<br />
fund a scholarship for high school graduates in the area. Over the past<br />
46 years, the Foundation has grown tremendously through the efforts of<br />
the Board of Trustees and the generosity of the Cy-Fair Community. The<br />
Foundation has awarded over $7 million in scholarships to more than<br />
1,400 graduating seniors. CFEF is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, all<br />
contributions are tax deductible as allowed by the law.<br />
Next year’s Salute to the Stars Gala will be held on Thursday, October<br />
19, 2017. For more information, please contact Marie Holmes at marie@<br />
