Copperbrook April 2018

Neighborhood News
Payments:
The HOA is working with the management company to create a system
where homeowners can pay their due or fees over the phone with a credit
card (convenience fee will apply). We know the online payment system
has caused some frustration for some homeowners and we are trying to
remedy this. Please stay tuned for updates!
Pool:
Pool will re-open May 1, 2018. You MUST be current on your HOA dues
or be on a payment plan to gain access to the pool. You will need an
activated pool access card, pool wristbands and a signed waiver to swim
this year. You will have 3 opportunities to get these items for the season:
Saturday, April 21 st from 3-5 PM
Saturday, April 28 th from 5:30-7:30 PM
Saturday, May 12 th from 10 AM-12 PM
Mark your calendars NOW for one of these dates! If you do not come to
the pool during one the aforementioned dates and times, you WILL be
charged a convenience fee (to be determined). If you do not bring your
access card from the previous year, you will need to purchase a new card
for $10, plus a convenience fee if paying with a credit card. If you a new
renter to the community, please call TxMgmt at 832-910-7525 to fill out a
Renter’s Information Form so that you will be in the system and able to
get pool cards/bands.

Alarm Permits:
Our contracted officers have asked that we remind our residents that it
is a requirement by Harris County that you register your alarm system
with the County. It is $35 to get a new permit and $10 to renew it each
year. The fees are waived if you are over 65, but you must still register
your alarm. Residents face a $75 false alarm fee if officers respond to your
alarm and it isn’t registered. You can get details about registering your
alarm here: www.hcsoalarmpermit.com.
Crime Alert:
Residents need to know that there has been a marked increase in crime
in our community, including recent car burglaries and a home invasion
in late 2017. Harris County MUD 130 pays for the contract officers for our
community. They are being extra vigilant and are aware of the increase in
activity in recent months. Copperbrook appreciates our officer’s efforts,
but we as residents MUST do our part as well. Upon speaking to one of
our contract deputies at the December Board meeting, he indicated that
the flood lights above the garage that are motion activated, are a great
deterrent and a great way to alert officers to movement when they are
making their rounds at night. We would like to encourage neighbors to
protect each other’s lives and property by watching for and reporting
suspicious activities... the residents become the “eyes” of the patrolling
