NOTE: Any items identified with NEW were modified or added during 21 June 2008 or later.

RMRPOA BOARD ELECTS NEW PRESIDENT (NEW)

Jim Wheat was elected by the RMRPOA Board members to be President of the POA during an Emergency Meeting on Saturday, 21 June. This action was required due to the resignation of Mack Peterson from the RMRPOA Board on 20 June. There is now a vacancy on the RMRPOA Board. Any POA members who would like to serve the RMR community should contact any of the Board members to express their interest (please see Board page for contact numbers and email addresses).

RMRPOA BOARD STATEMENT CONCERNING SUPPORT FOR CONTINUATION OF AG EXEMPTIONS (NEW)

The RMRPOA Board Members continue to support the continuation of the open grazing of the cattle owned by Texas Water Brand Cattle Company, LLC (TWBCC). Additionally, the RMRPOA Board Members support the continuation of Agriculture (Ag) appraisals for those RMR property owners that have a cattle lease with TWBCC and are granted a specific exemption by the Hays County Appraisal District (HCAD) as a result of applying for and qualifying for the Ag exemption. Remember, it remains the responsibility of the individual property owner to abide by the rules for maintaining the Ag exemption that was granted by the HCAD.

CONSTRUCTION DEPOSIT REMINDER (NEW)

Just a reminder that a refundable deposit of $500 is required prior to receiving final architectural approval for the construction of new homes, additions to homes, garages, and pools. The deposit was instituted as a result of construction vehicles causing damage to RMR POA owned roads and common areas as well as to some privately owned property. Please contact Architectural Control if you have any questions.

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH & FIREWISE COMMUNITY PROJECT (NEW)

The RMRPOA Board has listened to the opinions of the property owners (both in emails and at the Summer Meeting) and has dropped planning for a security gate. As an alternative, it has been proposed by one of our RMR residents that a combination Neighborhood Watch Program (NWP) coupled with the FireWise Community Program be utilized as an alternative. The concept would be to use these combined programs to promote both security and fire protection. As part of this project, some of the potential ideas that could be implemented are: installation of security cameras near our inner gate and at the park gate, identification of additional exits out of RMR, and development and implementation of an Evacuation Plan for RMR in the event of a major fire or other natural disaster. If you are interested in working on this project, please contact any of the Board members. Thanks.
