Spring in west Texas is just around the corner if we can "hold on" through the windy days and unpredictable temperatures. Have you noticed the herons and cranes that grace our skies during this time of the year? Very soon the trees will be budding and the color of our landscape with shift from brown to green. It is also a perfect time to join the RC Volunteer Fire Department on March 3rd for their Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser. Donations are welcome! The Ransom Canyon POA hopes you can take time to enjoy the beauty of the nature that surrounds us not only in the spring, but throughout the year.

Other Business

#1. REASONABLE RATE INCREASE TO $60 per lot annual 2019 maintenance dues:

The board is currently working on a business plan / budget that will totally eliminate the risk of financial dependency of the non-wedding rental business that the volunteer POA board is operating and managing. The plan is not to eliminate weddings but to direct the profits into a capital reserve plan to be used for capital projects prioritized on need and community input. Property Owners will be properly notified and allowed input prior to any vote taken.

#2. OPEN BOARD POSITIONS:

We currently have the treasurer board position open and several other board positions will be coming open in April at the annual meeting.

If you have an interest, please send an email to ransomcanyonpoa@sptc.net ASAP and a board member will contact you back.
