Summer Activities<br />
Would you like to see additional activities in our neighborhood? We<br />
would love to have things for our families, but without assistance it is<br />
not possible. The Board of Directors’ members all have full time jobs or<br />
other family obligations that take up much of our time. We are an unpaid<br />
voluntary Board with the interest of <strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> at heart. If you have<br />
ideas for neighborhood activities, get volunteers to help and present<br />
your ideas to the Board. We will back legitimate activities to unite our<br />
neighbors. There were several people at the annual meeting that advised<br />
they would assist in activities and/or serving in various capacities. We<br />
encourage you to step forward with your ideas and volunteers to assist.<br />
Deed Restrictions<br />
It’s unfortunate that something that should only involve common sense<br />
seems to be ignored. Sometimes it appears that the Board of Directors<br />
and/or Preferred Management Services are not paying attention to<br />
homes that are in disrepair. Please understand letters are sent every 30<br />
days. The third letter will be a registered letter. Each of these transactions<br />
cost us a small fee, which is then charged back to the homeowner. If<br />
the homeowner ignores the letters, our only recourse is to send it to<br />
the attorney for legal action. At that time, the charges start adding up<br />
quickly. All of these are charged back to the homeowner.<br />
Deed restrictions were registered by the developer, your Board of<br />
Directors is mandated to try to assure they are kept. They were created<br />
as an attempt to maintain continuity within the neighborhood. Without<br />
these standards, a home could be left in disrepair or abandoned and could<br />
become a plight to our neighborhood. At entrances to the neighborhood,<br />
there are signs declaring deed restrictions are strictly enforced and when<br />
you purchased the home you were given a copy of the deed restrictions.<br />
Please remember, this is a legal document in place to protect the value<br />
of your home.<br />

OFFICE SUITE FOR LEASE<br />
in Copperfield area<br />
If your home is not in good repair, it not only affects the value of it, but<br />
the surrounding homes. In order to maintain our values, it is mandatory<br />
that everyone make the necessary repairs, remove the mildew and/or<br />
paint as needed.<br />
Inoperable vehicles are to be repaired or removed. Covering them with<br />
covers or tarps does not change the fact that they are not in compliance<br />
with the deed restrictions. Motorized vehicles cannot be parked in the<br />
yard or on your porch.<br />
Includes 5-6 individual office spaces,<br />
kitchen, supply room, reception area, storage closet, bathrooms.<br />
Trash cans are to be stored out of sight. They should not be kept on your<br />
front porch or in front of the garage. Please abide by the deed restrictions<br />
and move them out of sight.<br />
Your yard should be properly maintained, grass kept cut and neat. It<br />
should be edged so that the grass does not grow over the sidewalk or<br />
over the curbs. When trees and shrubs are trimmed, the limbs must be<br />
bundled and tied in lengths that can be picked up by the trash company.<br />
Preferred Management handles most of the business transactions for<br />
<strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> under the direction of your Board of Directors. If you<br />
don’t understand any correspondence from Preferred Management,<br />
please call for clarification. The homeowners association pays for<br />
all correspondence related to deed restrictions, therefore duplicate<br />
letters cost all of us additional fees. Do not ignore correspondence from<br />
Preferred Management!<br />
HOMEOWNERS RESPONSIBILITIES<br />
As a homeowner you have certainly responsibilities. You are obligated to<br />
pay taxes and homeowners association fees. Often people assume that is<br />
the extent of their responsibilities.<br />
There were deed restrictions set forth by the developer of the subdivision<br />
with the intent of maintaining your home’s value.<br />
As many of us have realized recently, these responsibilities often seem<br />
to encroach on our ability to maintain our home in any manner we wish.<br />
However, these deed restrictions are registered with the county and your<br />
association has the obligation to remind us when they are not observed.<br />
Sidewalks are a topic that has been discussed a lot recently. In years<br />
past, the county had often repaired them. However, these are a part of<br />
the homeowner’s responsibility. This work is not the responsibility of<br />
Harris County or <strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> HOA. Homeowners must have and must<br />
maintain the sidewalk on their property.<br />
If you do not have a copy of the deed restrictions for your section in<br />
<strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong>, please contact Preferred Management Services and<br />
request a copy.<br />
PERIMETER HOMES<br />
The first impression of our neighborhood is the backs of homes facing<br />
W. Little York and Eldridge. Many of the homes that are on the perimeter<br />
of <strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> are in terrible shape! This takes away from the homes<br />
that are maintained properly. It affects EVERY home in the subdivision.<br />
If your home is one that backs up to our perimeter fences, please take a<br />
look at your home. In many cases, the simple act of pressure washing the<br />
mildew and mold will make a considerable improvement. In some cases,<br />
these homes need paint and/or replacement siding. There are homes<br />
with vines growing on the chimney and siding missing. The management<br />
company will be making a special effort to note all of these homes and<br />
letters will be sent asking for repairs/cleaning to be done.<br />

<strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> Services<br />
Services in <strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> are provided by two different municipal utility<br />
districts. Areas covered and service providers are shown below. The<br />
overhead power lines running north and south through the subdivision is<br />
the dividing line between the MUD district responsibilities. The two trash<br />
collection companies observe different holidays. Please note if a holiday<br />
falls on a regular trash collection day, the trash will be picked up the next<br />
SCHEDULED day, NOT the next day. Please do not place your trash out<br />

If you have a manhole cover in your yard, driveway or sidewalk and it is<br />

VACATION WATCH<br />
Remember that our constables offer this valuable service. School is out<br />
and the kids are bored. They often are unsupervised and seek thrills in<br />
dangerous and malicious ways. If your home will be unoccupied while<br />
your family is enjoying a vacation, you can complete a vacation watch<br />
form and submit it to one of the officers patrolling in the neighborhood.<br />
There are other services available to local citizens. You can visit the<br />
appropriate website for additional information and to sign up for the<br />
available services. ~ www.constablepct5.com<br />
<strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> Pets<br />
Have you lost a pet or found a dog or cat? You can contact the <strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong><br />
Pet Hotline at 281-468-9414 and on the Facebook account, www.facebook.<br />
com/#!/<strong>Concord</strong>bridgehotline. You can use this source to report lost and found<br />
animals. This has been a great help in returning lost and found animals to their<br />
owners. Even if you don’t have access to Facebook, you can call 281-468-9414. It<br />
is far more efficient than posting illegal signs all over the neighborhood. Another<br />
great source for finding a lost pet or reporting a rescued one is nextdoor.com/<br />
concordbridge. Harris County requires that all pets be on a leash or confined<br />
within your yard. Unleashed dogs are a nuisance to your neighbors and other<br />
pets. Please pick up all dog waste and dispose of it properly. Remember, our<br />
children play in the park areas and their yards. It’s very inconsiderate of you<br />
to allow your dog to defecate if others yards and the parks. When walking your<br />
dogs, please be prepared to remove any waste they may leave behind.<br />

4/9/19 and donated the hand-made pet toys along with<br />
some of the wish list items from their organization and<br />
a case of Girl Scout cookies for the hard workers and<br />
volunteers! In February our community celebrated World<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />
For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found<br />
in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant<br />
in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting<br />
helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />
skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />
The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities<br />
that allow them to:<br />
• Try new things.<br />
• Provide service to others.<br />
• Build self-confidence.<br />
• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />
Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as<br />
individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility<br />
and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made,<br />
peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.<br />
Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting<br />
through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help<br />
our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area<br />
Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5<br />
to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing<br />
units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.<br />
Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools<br />
including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley,<br />
Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan,<br />
Tipps, Walker and Wilson.<br />
Other Community groups include: Autumn Creek Baptist Church,<br />
Beck and Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United Methodist Church,<br />
Copperfield Church, Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield<br />
Village HOA, LDS Bear Creek and Copperfield Wards, Middlegate Village<br />
HOA, Peace Community Church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church<br />

ST. AIDAN’S SETS SUMMER VBS<br />

and the folks at St. Aidan’s have another great program planned. Scheduled<br />

year’s theme is ROAR: Life is wild. God is Good. We usually have Bahama<br />
Bucks on the last day. That is always a big treat for our students. And, last<br />
year, we hosted Wild Things Zoofari. They brought a wallaby, a toucan, a<br />
lemur and a hedgehog. Everyone really enjoyed that.” Cost of VBS is $30.<br />
Scholarships are available for families in-need. New for this year, we are<br />
adding Triumph Sports so our students will have a full-day option. From<br />
12-4 PM, Triumph will run a Bible-based sports camp. Participants will play<br />
dodgeball, kickball, capture the flag, basketball, soccer and more. Early<br />
registration for this afternoon session is $105 before June 1 st . After June 1 st ,<br />

Warm weather means our gardens and landscapes are growing fast.<br />
Here are some tasks to keep your landscape beautiful and productive:<br />
Flowers: Time to plant summer blooming perennials and annuals<br />
including plumbago, zinnias, angelonia, purslane, lobularia,<br />
sunflowers, yellow bells, pride of Barbados, duranta and bat-faced<br />
cuphea.<br />
Vegetables: <strong>May</strong> is a great time to plant, from seed or nursery plants,<br />
okra, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, winter squash, pumpkins, basil,<br />
peppers, lima beans, eggplant, garlic chives and Malabar greens. If<br />
you don’t want to dedicate an area of your yard, consider planting<br />
here and there in your flowerbeds. Edible landscaping is a popular<br />
new trend!<br />
Lawns: Water 1/2 to 1” of irrigation per week. A rain gauge or straight<br />
sided container (such as a tuna fish can) will help you know how long<br />
to run your irrigation system to apply 1/2”.<br />
Weeding: Hand pull or hoe weeds while they are still young or better<br />
yet, maintain a 3” layer of mulch in all vegetable and flowerbeds to<br />
deter weeds from getting a start.<br />
Pruning: Remove spent blooms on spring and summer annuals to<br />
promote new blooms.<br />
Fertilizing: Fertilize flowerbeds and vegetable gardens w/slow release<br />
organic fertilizer.<br />
Water: Deep soakings between rain events is better than frequent<br />
light sprinkling.<br />
Birds: Spring migration continues until mid-<strong>May</strong>. Clean bird feeders!<br />
Replace water in bird baths to avoid creating mosquito breeding<br />
spots.<br />
