PURPOSE OF HUNTER’S PARK
COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Hunter’s Park Community Association handles the
financial and legal affairs of the subdivision. Each lot
owner is required to pay an annual maintenance fee
which is used to pay street lights; pay taxes on and
maintain the common areas, such as the swimming
pools, tennis courts, etc.; pay for security; and pay legal
expenses incurred to enforce the deed restrictions.
The Board meets every month at 6:30 p.m. in
the meeting room at the community building. Residents
are welcome to attend. Anyone wishing to
place an item on the agenda should call the HPCA
office in advance.
The Annual Meeting of Members is held on the
4th Thursday of January.
Members hold three year staggered terms and are
elected. The election process is as follows:
1) Mail in ballots will be mailed out with the
Annual Maintenance fee statements.
2) Voting in person will begin on the 1st Monday
after the Annual Meeting ending on the
following Saturday at 7pm.
HPCA Office
Office Phone: 281 463-1216
Office Hrs: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Mon- Fri.

HPCA employs three workers to provide coverage for
the office. Every effort is made to have one of the three
employees in the office at all times. Occasionally business
of the association may require us to be out of the office

when you call or if you call after hours, please leave a

DEED RESTRICTIONS
Deed restrictions are strictly enforced by Hunter’s Park
Community Association. Copies of the restrictions
are available at the association’s office or by mail
(call 281 463-1216). Complaint forms are included
in every Bear Creek Newsletter for your convenience.
The association’s office verifies complaints and writes
letters to violators. HPCA will initiate legal action
when warranted, to enforce the deed restrictions.
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL
You must submit any plans for improvements or
modifications of your home to the Hunter’s Park
Community Association Office. Your plans will be
checked to insure that they comply with the deed
restrictions. This includes re-roofing, playforts (8
ft. height limit), temporary storage buildings, etc.
Please call the office at 281 463-1216 if you need
any additional help or assistance.
SECURITY
Hunter’s Park Community Association provides
additional security currently through a contract
with Commissioners Court for four Harris County
Constables. HPCA also hires off-duty deputies on
an as-needed basis for additional coverage.
Please call the Constable’s Office at 281 463-6666
to report any suspicious person, activity or for vacation
watch. There is a voluntary $2.00 security
contribution on the M.U.D. #6 water bill that goes to
each homeowner. The voluntary contributions can
only be used to pay for security. This contribution
enables HPCA to provide more coverage without
raising maintenance fees.

LEASH LAW
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents.
While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at
someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children
are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could result in the
child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.
Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept
under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County,
Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
starts MARCH 11, 2018
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is often wrongly referred to as “Daylight Savings,”
with an “s” at the end. Other common variations are “Summer Time” and “Daylight-Saving
Time.”
The term “Daylight Savings Time” is very commonly used, especially in Australia,
Canada and the United States. It’s likely that the incorrect term “savings” entered
the popular vocabulary because it’s so often used in everyday contexts, like “savings
account.”
At the beginning of the DST period in the spring, clocks are moved forward,
usually by 1 hour. When DST ends in fall (autumn), clocks are turned back again.
DST does not add daylight, but it gives more usable hours of daylight. In that
sense, DST “saves” daylight, especially during early spring. Standard time refers
to time without DST.
spring forward !!!
or keep any unlicensed dog or cat nor to allow any dog or cat to
become a stray.”
Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the
following circumstances:
1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in
length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable
of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question
2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle
3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal
does not have access to sidewalk or street.”
While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you
work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly
restrained.
Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for
all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only
protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but
also the pet owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly
sued for failing to properly restrain their pet.
Please remember that cats fall under the same laws as dogs and
must be licensed and kept restrained when not on the premises
of the owner. We’ve been told that spreading moth balls in flower
beds might keep cats away.
To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly
restrained please contact:

KATY ISD RANKS AS THE TOP SCHOOL DISTRICT
IN THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA
The 2018 Best School Districts rankings have been announced and
looks like “The Best is in the West” for the Greater Houston area,
with Katy Independent School District taking the top spot.
Niche, a ranking and review organization for K-12 schools, assesses
school districts across America every year. Katy ISD received an
overall grade of “A+” for its outstanding educational accomplishments.
The rankings are based on rigorous analysis of key statistics,
reviews from students and parents, as well as data from the U.S.
Department of Education. Ranking factors include state test scores,
college readiness, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores, teacher quality,
public school district ratings and more.
Katy ISD is known as one of the fastest growing school districts in the
country and currently has an enrollment of over 77,000+ students.
BAD WEATHER MAKE-UP DAYS
Texas weather has not been kind and continues to bring many
challenges to our community. Due to the wintery conditions that
caused the District’s closure in mid-January, we need to alert you
to a change to our 2017-18 Instructional Calendar.
As you may know, Katy ISD, along with all Texas school districts, is
required by state law to have 75,600 minutes of instructional time
built into its calendar each year. While the Texas Education Agency
(TEA) granted our district a waiver for missed instructional time
this past fall as a result of Hurricane Harvey related closures, the
District has been informed that waivers will not be provided for
January’s bad weather days.
Unfortunately, our students lost significant instructional time this
year. Monday, February 19 th was currently designated as a bad
weather day and was used to make up instructional time for all
students. Additionally, in order to be in compliance with state law,
the secondary school day will be extended by ten minutes during
the week of May 14 th -18 th , with dismissal being at 2:45 PM each day.
KatyISD recognizes that this may be an inconvenience for some
families and we apologize ahead of time for that. Just as we must
meet the requirements of the law, it is also just as important that
we are in a position to ensure that we can effectively achieve our
mission to provide educational excellence and opportunities that
prepare our students for success in college, career and life. With
that said, having our students in school to grow and learn is of the
utmost importance. As always, your understanding and support is
greatly appreciated.

Gardening
Tips
VEGETABLES
• Plant vegetables such as
tomatoes, sweet corn and
snap beans and pepper, as
well as cucumbers, lima or
butter beans, cantaloupe,
okra (if the soil has warmed
sufficiently - 70 degrees F. or higher), southern peas, pumpkin, squash,
peanuts and watermelon.
LAWN
• Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this part of
Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun).
• When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY the
variety Floratam for best pest resistance. See www.plantanswers.com/
grass.htm.
TREES AND SHRUBS
• Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible. In shady
areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a dependable
groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or one of the
prostrate junipers.
• Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early March. However,
be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have bloomed.
• Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer analysis
such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square feet of garden
planting area. Early March is the ideal time to fertilize landscape plants
because you give them food just before the spring growing season starts.
