RENTAL OF CLUBHOUSE/PAVILION<br />
We encourage residents to use the amenities for their<br />
functions throughout the year. They are available for usage<br />
only by our residents and their guests. The community<br />
center, clubhouse and pavilion are available for parties<br />
and special events for all residents. A $100 deposit for each<br />
is required and a contract will be signed with the restrictions.<br />
$50 of the deposit is refundable at the close of the<br />
rental walk-through when it has been determined that no<br />
further cleaning or damage repairs are needed. The other<br />
$50, (non-refundable) will be used to offset the cost of the<br />
utilities and up keep of the clubhouse. To set up scheduling<br />

is responsible for paying for their own trash pick up sticker.<br />
<strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Place</strong> Trash Pickup is TUESDAY and FRIDAY only! Remember heavy trash day is Friday only, so please do not place these heavy<br />
items on the curb until Thursday night after 5 PM or early Friday for pickup. The trash pickup sticker should be placed on your trash cans<br />
so the truck drivers can see them when picking up your trash. Please remember after pick up that trash cans MUST always be stored completely<br />
out of public view. They cannot be left in the driveway, in yard, on porches or even on the side of the house. They MUST be kept<br />
behind your closed fence or in your closed garage.<br />
If you need a sticker please contact – Waste Management of Houston 713-512-6200<br />
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.<br />
HARRIS COUNTY CURFEW TO BE STRICTLY ENFORCED<br />
The Harris Country Sheriff’s Office deputies will be strictly enforcing curfew, zero tolerance. Most parents are unaware that Harris County<br />
has curfew. Children under age 17 must be in at midnight (12 AM). Parents need to make sure that their children are at home the entire<br />
night. If children are caught wandering around at late hours after midnight, the Harris County Sheriffs will give them a citation. This is a<br />
class C misdemeanor, both the child and the parent MUST appear in front of court and pay a fine which may exceed $150.<br />
REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES AND CRIMES<br />
When you see suspicious activity and would like to file a report call the non-emergency number. When a crime is in progress and/or a<br />
human life is at risk call 9-1-1. If at any time someone observes a suspicious person or vehicle in the subdivision they should not hesitate<br />
in reporting it to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. The first thing a resident should do is contact the Harris County Sheriff’s Office to file a<br />
report. There are three ways to do this. If your incident is an emergency, call 9-1-1, if non-emergency call 713-221-6000 or use the Harris<br />
County Sheriff’s online reporting system: www.hcso.hctx.net/LeadinHtml_TxHarrisCountySo/startreport.

YOU CAN HELP KEEP HOA DUES<br />
FROM GOING UP<br />
Yes, it starts with each resident doing their fair share in their community! Each<br />
month, our HOA dues go toward expenses like water/sewer/trash, amenities<br />
maintenance, landscaping, pool, security, deed restriction enforcement and<br />
much more. As we all know, goods and services aren’t getting any cheaper and as<br />
our community ages, there will be more maintenance required. You can help keep<br />
HOA dues from large increases each year by doing the following:<br />
• Report any suspicious or prohibited activities to ACMP Management and/or the<br />
police department (vandalism, tampering with homes, mailbox theft, etc.)<br />
• Keep trash cans behind your fence or in your closed garage.<br />
• Don’t put trash out before 5 PM the day before regular trash days on Tuesday &<br />
heavy day Friday<br />
• Cut, weed-eat and edge your yard weekly/semi weekly depending on the growth.<br />
• Clean up old debris and leaves and limbs on your property including the street/<br />
curb in front of your residence.<br />
• Repair any broken items that can be seen from the street.<br />
• Make sure to fill out & send in your ACC form before starting any outside projects for approval.<br />
• Make sure no boats, mobile homes, trailers, boat rigging, trucks larger than ¾ ton, bus, unused or inoperable automobiles shall be<br />
parked in the driveway or kept in the street, in front of or side of any residence.<br />
• Keep tree limbs trimmed and off the road and sidewalk.<br />
• If you remove a tree, don’t forget the stump. It must be removed at the same time. (Don’t forget to complete an ACC form - deed requirement)<br />
• Repair broken fences (don’t forget to complete an ACC Form - deed requirement)<br />
• Any reason you must have a large dumpster in your driveway, you must notify ACMP company.<br />
• Bare/dead areas in resident lawn.<br />
• Improperly stored miscellaneous in your driveway other than your operating vehicles (Driveways are not storage shed, nor porches).<br />
• Oil stains in your driveway - MUST be cleaned<br />
• Basketball goals - Nets must be properly maintained.<br />
• Faded residence must be painted - An approved ACC form is required prior to doing this violation.<br />
All the above items can and are violations that can cause an increase in our annual dues. Because we must send out letters, if not properly<br />
taken care of, it can cause extra cost if HOA must involve an attorney to get these issues resolved. Get involved and take care of your property.<br />
STREETLIGHT OUTAGES<br />
WE ENCOURAGE ALL RESIDENTS TO JOIN IN AND HELP US MAINTAIN THIS ISSUE. Please report any burned out street light, any resident<br />
may call Center Point directly at 713-207-2222. However, for those with internet access, you may also make this report online. For those<br />
interested, the website is http://cnpcenterpointengergy.com/outage. Anyone noticing a streetlight that is out or malfunctioning is encouraged<br />
to report the problem. Our association is charged for every streetlight each month, irrespective of whether or not the light is<br />
functioning. So please help us get these lit. Keeping our community well lit up is a good way to help prevent crime in our subdivision.<br />
THANK YOU FOR HELPING US IN SUSTAINING THE STREET LIGHTS!<br />
ARE YOU A QUIET NEIGHBOR?<br />
A reminder, while you may enjoy your stereo blasting in your garage or home or backyard or vehicle, not all of your neighbors share the<br />
same taste in music. Voices carry, so does dog barking and loud music, loud TV’s, loud parties, etc. Please be polite to your neighbors and<br />
keep the noise to your own house. Keep in mind that quiet hours are between 10 PM to 8 AM.
