NEWS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF COPPERFIELD

A Non-Profit Incorporated OrganizationLOW INCOME APARTMENTS
A developer, Galaxy Companies (San Antonio), has filed a preliminary application with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA). They have applied for the 9% tax credit. They are planning on constructing a low income housing complex (apartments) on Queenston near the corner of Barker Cypress and the Stone Gate main entrance (12447 Queenston Blvd). This is not the developer who was planning on building a low income complex last year. This is a new developer who has filed an application (2013) for the same location.
TDHCA will have a public hearing in Houston about potential housing tax credit units in May or early June. The last day the public has to submit comments (letters, phone calls, faxes, etc.) to TDHCA is by 5:00 PM June 14, 2013. Contact your elected officials and TDHCA about your thoughts regarding the proposed unit. Contact Misael Arroyo at TDHCA, (512) 475-2596, [email protected] View our web site under “Links” for a list of all the politicians that serve our area.
GOOD NEWSA second developer, Kilday Realty Corporation, had also filed for a 9%
tax credit to build a low income housing development. It was planned to be built on West Road just west of Telge right next door to the new Kid’s World Learning Center. After the Coalition spoke with Mr. Kilday on three separate occasions, he chose to withdraw his application. Mr. Kilday has canceled his plans to build a low income apartment complex at this location.
CRIME, SECURITY AND SAFETYWe will have Guest Speakers at our next monthly meeting, Tuesday,
March 19, 2013. We will have Special Agent Anton Chapman from the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, Human Smuggling/Trafficking. We will also have Captain Ricky Ricks from the Harris County Sheriff’s Vice Department and Cy-Fair ISD Chief of Police Alan Bragg. Topics will include Brothels and Human Trafficking, Drug Paraphernalia Shops around our schools, and the safety of our children both on and off school campuses. The safety of our children is our utmost concern, especially after the death threats
allegedly made by a sixth grader at Aragon Middle School (www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlsoSptPTfA). For more details on the threat at Aragon, view our website under News & Events. All these topics are related as brothels and drug paraphernalia shops bring in the unwanted element that endangers the safety of our children and community.
Seating will be limited, so please RSVP to [email protected] to reserve your seat (it’s free).
THE CY-FAIR ISD LIAISON COMMITTEEThe Copperfield Coalition is concerned about the possibility
that Lowery and Copeland Elementary Schools will be given Title I designation due to the increase of its economically disadvantaged student populations. We believe that if either school receives a Title I designation, our property values will be negatively impacted as they were in Aldine, Alief and Spring Branch. The Copperfield Coalition strongly favors all students receiving a quality education. This can best be accomplished by increasing the rigor of the school curriculum. The Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District Board of Trustees represents the community’s interest in the school district. They make the final decision on Title I designations. You are encouraged to send them an email, whether you support or oppose Title I, and let them know your feelings. The email address is [email protected].
DeBra Edwards, ChairCFISD Liaison Committee
PROSTITUTION AND HUMAN TRAFFICKINGThe brothel at 18039 C FM529 (across the street from Kroger)
was raided by the Harris County Sheriff Department on January 31. Two arrests were made for prostitution. Two citations were issued for not having a license for massage. All evidence gathered will be used by the DA’s office to file suit under the Abatement Law to have this establishment shut down permanently. This is made possible by the new SOB regulations that were passed by Commissioner’s Court late last

Bailadoras have also made some time for fun. The girls and their moms attended the annual Mother Daughter Banquet in December. That event featured the senior girls modeling formals from Muzzies. Seniors are pictured above. In January the Bailadoras and their dates enjoyed a memorable evening at their annual formal “Black and White Masquerade”. The girls are now focused on contest season which will culminate with a trip to San Marcos during Spring Break to compete in the Crowd Pleasers National Contest.
