Make plans to attend our April civic club meeting. We were unable to secure confirmation on a guest speaker for this meeting. It turned into a roller coaster, we had one, then something happened and we didn't! - multiple times. The meetings are always a good time to catch up with neighbors and learn what's happening in and around the neighborhood. Hope to see you there!
Haga planes para asistir nuestra reunión del club cívico en abril. No pudimos asegurar la confirmación de un locutor invitado para esta reunión. Volvió a ser una montaña rusa; teníamos alguien, luego algo pasó y no lo teníamos! - varias veces. Las reuniones siempre son un tiempo bueno para ponerse al corriente con los vecinos y aprender lo que pasa en y alrededor de la vecindad. ¡Ojalá que los veamos allí!

Yard of the Month Selection Begins in May
The first "Yard of the Month"
award will be presented for May. Judging will be the last week in April. In our continuing effort to keep newsletter information current, it is necessary to select the next month's yard during the last week of the preceding month. What are the judges looking for? Neatly mowed, edged, and trimmed yards; flower beds free of weeds; contrasting color; uniqueness; balance and symmetry; and overall appearance. NO ARTIFICIAL PLANTS OR FLOWERS, please! There are 5 award areas: Northeast, Northwest, Southwest I, Southwest II, and Southeast. Each of theses areas will have one yard designated as "Yard of the Month" with a sign placed in the yard. "Yard of the Month" judges are your neighbors who volunteer their time to make the selections. If you would like to join the team, please call Ann Collum, 713-6450241, or any of the Board members listed on the front of this newsletter. Yard Of the Month

A friendly reminder, Glenbrook Valley is a deed restricted neighborhood. It is the responsibility of the Civic Club's Board of Directors to see that the restrictions are enforced. That being said, the only sign our deed restrictions permit on a property is a Realtor's "For Sale" sign. Alarm signs are permitted by city ordinance and should be small and placed within 36 inches of the home near the door. The Historic Preservation Ordinance was revised in October, 2015. It is now required by the city ordinance that a property seeking a Certificate of Appropriateness must post a sign stating the owner has applied for a C. of A. State law permits political signs to be placed in a yard 90 days prior to an election. They must be removed within 10 days after the election. All other signs are not permitted and should be removed from yards immediately. Enforcement of this restriction will be handled by the Club's attorney. Thank you in advance for your compliance.
Recuerdo tratando de los letreros del jardín Un recuerdo amistoso, Glenbrook Valley es una vecindad de restricciones de las escrituras. Es la responsabilidad de la Junta directiva hacer que se ejecuten las restricciones. Eso dicho, el único letrero que nuestras restricciones de las glenbrookvalley.org

escrituras permiten es un letrero "Para vender" del agente inmobiliario. Letreros de alarma se permiten por ordenanza de la Ciudad y deben ser pequeños y colocados dentro de 36 pulgadas de la casa cerca de la puerta. La Ordenanza de la preservación histórica se revisó en octubre, 2015. Ahora se requiere por ordenanza municipal que una propiedad buscando un Certificado de ser apropiado tiene que ensenar un letrero diciendo que ha solicitado ese Certificado. La ley estatal permite que los letreros políticos se pongan en un jardín 90 días antes de una elección. Hay que removerlos dentro de 10 días después de la elección. Todos los otros letreros no se permiten y se deben remover de los jardines inmediatamente. El abogado del Club se encarga de la ejecución de esta restricción. Gracias de antemano por su conformidad.
