PURPOSE OF HUNTER’S PARK
COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

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 the 2nd Thursday of 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.

in every Bear Creek Newsletter for your convenience.
The association’s office verifies complaints and writes
letters to violators. HPCA will initiate legal action

You must submit any plans for improvements or
modifications of your home to the Hunter’s Park
Community Association Office. Your plans will be

SECURITY
Hunter’s Park Community Association provides
additional security currently through a contract

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.

PET HOTLINE NEWS
A very important thing you can do is have a collar with some form of ID
and your phone number on it. Pet stores have special ID’s for your pets.
Many pet owners are now “chipping” the pets. If found and taken to a vet
they can scan chip and find the owner. If your pet has a rabies tag, the vet
has your name and #. Having an ID on a pet makes life easier for all. Marie
