Water Board News

Congratulations to Ron Kelly and Marge Foster. They were recently appointed to serve on the Dripping Springs Water Board after a few members resigned to avoid a public vote. Ron will serve as Chairman and Marge will serve as Secretary/Treasurer. With these two working for us, I expect many of the "mistakes" that have plagued the water board will be fixed quickly. It's good to know honest and concerned people are out there working on our behalf.

If you get a chance - be sure to tell Ron and Marge Congratulations and

Thank You for being willing to serve.

The following is a note from Marge:

Ron and I were appointed by the board to fill two of the three open positions on the board. WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE STRONG TURNOUT OF OUR PRESERVE RESIDENTS AND THE INTEREST THEY HAVE SHOWN IN ASSURING THE QUALITY, QUANTITY AND AFFORDABILITY OF WATER IN DRIPPING SPRINGS, BOTH IN THE SHORT-TERM AND THE LONG-TERM.

The meeting opened with some BIG surprises. The two members slated to be voted out as well as one other member resigned, effective the day before the meeting. That speaks for itself!

Therefore, there was no voting process. The by-laws provide that in the event of the resignation of a board member, the board has the authority to appoint replacements to fill their uncompleted terms. The two remaining board members chose to replace the open positions with the three candidates who had already been placed on the ballot. Ron was then chosen by the board to fill the position of president and his term has a remaining time of two years.

I was selected to fill the position of Secretary-Treasurer and my position is up for re-election in April! I really don't have much time to demonstrate the value I bring to this group! Hopefully, I will be re-elected in April...in the meantime, I will do what I can to contribute to the progress of the board in settling unfinished matters and

achieving new plans and goals for the water company.

Again, Ron and I very much appreciate your efforts in bringing this matter to the forefront in our

subdivision and urge everyone to remain involved.
