COPPERFIELD Coalition A Non-Profit Incorporated Organization

SPEEDING AND RUNNING OF STOP SIGNS FOR A BETTER, SAFER NEIGHBORHOOD

Speeding and running of stop signs is seriously out of control. The speeding and running of stop signs throughout our area has become increasingly worse over the years. Life is precious and we need to do anything and everything to protect it.

The Copperfield Coalition will be holding a Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday, September 18, 2012, at the Copperfield Church. The meeting will be held in their main worship room at 7 p.m. This room is extremely large and has three main doors. We will not have the long lines like we had with the Town Hall Meeting concerning low income housing. No need to sign in, just come in and have a seat.

We are working with the Sheriff’s Department to develop a strategy with the information we obtained from our poll (Poll results can be viewed on our website). Once we have a baseline set, we will discuss at the upcoming Town Hall Meeting set for September 18. All residents in the area are encouraged to attend and voice their concerns, provide suggestions, and ask questions. We will use all the information that we gather from the Town Hall Meeting to finalize the strategy. Sheriff Garcia’s command staff plan on attending and speaking at this meeting.

You remember the Town Hall Meeting we had a few months ago on Low Income Housing? We had roughly 500 people show up to protect their property values and their way of life. We are now planning to have a much more important Town Hall Meeting – safety of human life. We urge you to attend, and hope for another large turnout.

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DOThere still seems to be some confusion on who we are and what we do.

The Copperfield Coalition is an incorporated non-profit organization filed with Harris County and the State of Texas. We represent over 17 different communities around the Copperfield area. We also represent all businesses within the Coalition boundaries. Our boundaries are basically between Tuckerton and FM529, just west of Barker Cypress to Jack Rabbit Road. You can see our boundary map on our web site (CopperfieldCoalition.COM).

We are a community of Citizens concerned with the Smart Growth of the Copperfield Area. Copperfield Coalition members are comprised of all volunteers.  No one receives any compensation for their service. We are not related to any Home Owners Association or the Copperfield Community Association. However, we do work with them. We rely totally on donations and the work of volunteers. Your HOA dues do not fund us whatsoever nor does any governmental agency. We are solely independent from any other entity.

Our Mission: By working with residential, business, and governmental

Page 4: Copperfield - August 2012

COPPERFIELD COURIERCopperfield Coalition- (Continued from Page 3)

groups, our goal is Smart Growth that continues to preserve the architectural character, the property values and the quality of life in the Copperfield area, while maintaining the safety and enjoyment of all of our communities.

Copperfield Coalition supports “Smart Growth”.  We encourage residents and businesses to learn about what options they have and how they can become involved in the process.  

All individual Homeowner Associations (HOA) differ from the Copperfield Coalition in their ability to address and manage residential and business concerns. The HOAs are chartered to manage the various contracts: Sheriff’s department, landscaping, pools, and waste/recycling.  They also enforce architectural guidelines, deed restrictions, maintenance, needed repairs and maintain the common area. Every HOA has a management company to guide them in making sure that these contracts and efforts are within the charter.   

The Coalition has the ability to address concerns that may require political and adjoining communities’ involvement/engagement to address residential and business concerns that are NOT within the charter of the HOAs. The HOAs and the Copperfield Coalition can find some flexibility in working together for the Smart Growth of the communities we represent.

We take on projects that will protect our communities, stop unwanted construction and/or alterations that will affect all of us. We work with politicians and government officials to make improvements in and around our community to enhance our quality of life and protect our property values.  We disseminate information via our website, press releases, and email blasts to local residents and businesses.

Please view our website for the accomplishments we have achieved to date, including the defeat of the overpass bridge and the defeat of the building of a low income housing project. We are also working with TX-DOT on bringing in green medians and dual left-hand turn lanes at all four quadrants of the intersection of FM529 at SH6 to mention a few of the things we have done and/or are doing.

MONTHLY MEETINGS OPEN TO ALLThe Copperfield Coalition meetings are held on the third Monday

of every month from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Copperfield Community Center, 15409 Willow River Drive. The meeting is in the board room; please come in the main door. Please check the website for any last minute cancelations and/or changes before attending.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDEDIf you are interested in being on an advisory committee, or becoming

a member of the Copperfield Coalition, then please come to one of our meetings or contact us at [email protected].

We are very proud to have had the opportunity to support several organizations again this year.  A few of these organizations are Reach Unlimited, Mission of Yahweh, Cy-Hope, Cypress Assistance Ministries, Magnificat House and the Glory Ranch.  Our goal is to continue assisting our community and making a personal difference.

Please remember to come join us in August, as we are all looking forward to a SPA like experience to help us prepare for our very special marketplace event “Shop Til You Drop” on September 8th.  Mark your calendars.  You don’t want to miss this event!

CWC is a service organization that gives back to the community.  This
