3 Love Your Dog, Leash Your Dog We love dogs we really do. That s why the association is committed to enforcing the City of Montgomery leash law on association property. According to the U.S. Humane Society, an unleashed dog has an average life span of less than four years. Allowing your dog to run free threatens your dog s health and welfare and the happiness it brings to you. We also love our community. That s another reason the association is committed to enforcing the City of Montgomery leash law so all residents may enjoy our community. We trust we can count on you for voluntary compliance with the leash law. We don t like to call animal control, but we won t have any choice if your dog is running free and a threat to others. Leash Law Please note that the City of Montgomery honors a leash law and any dogs that are not on a leash may be picked up by the City of Montgomery s Animal Control/Humane Society. If you need assistance with an animal, you can contact Animal Control/Humane Society at ext.213 or through MPD at Deer Creek Mailboxes Need a new mailbox, or is the mailbox pole at your residence beginning to fade?

4 Thunderstorm Safety Avoiding a Lightning Strike Warm weather usually means fun in the sun, but summer heat also can bring severe weather. Threatening thunderstorms often loom large on summer afternoons so it s important to be prepared for downpours and accompanying lightning, which can strike outdoors or indoors. Consider the following suggestions when planning both outdoor and indoor events this summer to reduce the risk of a lightning strike. Watch the weather. Pay attention to your local weather forecast before participating in outdoor activities. If there s a chance of thunderstorms, consider rescheduling or moving events indoors. If that s not possible, have an emergency plan in place in case a severe storm rolls in and designate a sufficient nearby structure as an emergency shelter. Stay inside. If severe thunderstorms are imminent, go indoors and wait until they pass. Safe, enclosed shelters include homes, schools, offices, shopping malls and vehicles with hard tops and closed windows. Open structures and spaces do not provide adequate protection. Duck and crouch. If you re caught outside during a severe storm, it s important to crouch low on the ground, tuck your head and cover your ears to help protect yourself from harm. Do not lie down; lightning strikes can produce extremely strong electrical currents that run along the top of the ground, and laying horizontally increases electrocution risk. Turn off faucets. During a thunderstorm, lightning can sometimes be conducted through the plumbing. Avoid any type of contact with running water, including bathing, showering, and washing your hands, dishes, or clothes. Turn off electronics. All electrical appliances televisions, computers, laptops, gaming systems, stoves, and more that are plugged into an electrical outlet could carry a current from a lightning strike. Surge protectors will reduce the risk of damaging electronics. Stay away from windows. Not only is lightning a threat, but high winds and hail create flying debris that could be harmful during a thunderstorm. Close all windows and doors and keep away from them.

Below is a list of the most common concerns. Dogs off Leash - The City of Montgomery requires all dogs to be leashed. Leashes must be used in the areas around the lakes, on the roadways and walking trails and in any open spaces. There have been reports of loose dogs frightening children and scaring and injuring the wildlife. Barking Dogs - Dogs that bark or howl constantly disrupt the quiet and make it very unpleasant for neighbors. If you have a howling dog, please make an effort to keep it from disturbing neighbors. Scoop the Poop - Please be courteous and take a pooper scooper and bag with you when you walk your pets. No one likes to fi nd a surprise left by a pet when they are walking on the grass or sidewalk. There are pet waste bags located throughout Deer Creek for your convenience. Catting Around Cats are not required to be leashed but are trespassing when they enter another person s property. Please be courteous to your neighbors and keep the cat at home. For more information regarding the City of Montgomery s rules and regulations regarding pets, please contact Animal Control/Humane Society at ext. 213

10 For the People, By the Homeowners Community associations like ours have a lot in common with municipal governments. As members of a governing body, our board members meet regularly to discuss and vote on important community issues, like paying the association s bills, funding our reserves and contracting with vendors to keep our community amenities in good repair. The board makes decisions about these and other important topics using a democratic process. Also like a government, our association board has the legal authority to enforce rules and regulations somewhat like laws and to collect assessments, like a government collects taxes, to pay to maintain shared amenities like parking lots, general landscaping and street lights, and to pay the association s bills. Our association also has the authority to take legal action, if necessary, if a homeowner fails to meet his or her obligations that we all agreed to when we purchased in this community. These obligations include paying regular assessments on time, abiding by architectural or design policies, and observing community rules.
