THE STANDING RULES FOR RAINTREE VILLAGE<br />
HOA BOARD MEETINGS<br />
The Board of Directors feels it serves you best when the Board meetings<br />
are conducted in an orderly manner. The HOA Board Meetings are<br />
held to conduct Association business. Your cooperation in this regard<br />
is requested. Parliamentary Procedure is followed at this Meeting.<br />
There are two sessions at the HOA Board Meetings, an open session<br />
when members may be present and an executive session when no<br />
members are permitted.<br />
Board Meeting will begin with the open session at 7 PM until 7:15<br />
PM when that time slot has been filled, members must wait until<br />
the next month’s meeting to be placed on the agenda.<br />
Your opinion is important to the Board of Directors. The Board desires<br />
to hear from Members who have information concerning the<br />
Association. During the portion of the Meeting in which the Chair<br />
accepts questions or comments from the floor, please proceed in<br />
the following manner.<br />
1. If you wish to address the Board, please contact the Board at<br />
least 10 days prior to Meeting to be added to the agenda. You also<br />
have to state the topic to be discussed and stay on that topic only.<br />
2. Any Member wishing to address the Board shall speak no more<br />
than two (2) minutes.<br />
3. No Member may speak more than once on the subject and no<br />
more than two (2) minutes, until all Members who wish to speak<br />
have done so.<br />
<strong>Raintree</strong> <strong>Village</strong> | <strong>September</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

RAINTREE VILLAGE HOA WEBSITE<br />
WWW.RAINTREEVILLAGE.COM<br />
We encourage you to visit our community website. The website<br />
includes a link to review current crime statistics for our community<br />
(www.crimereports.org) and pictures of Yard of the Month winners.<br />
As a fellow resident, you’ll have access to critical information regarding<br />
the HOA budget and annual meeting minutes.<br />
The aforementioned information can only be accessed by establishing<br />
a log-on user name and password. A request for an email address<br />
during the initial signup process will enable residents to receive alerts<br />
of upcoming events or critical notices. If you have any suggestions,<br />
please contact KPM Management Office at 281-685-3090.<br />
SATELLITE DISHES<br />
It’s come to HOA’s attention that the installation of satellite dishes<br />
on some homes violates the deed restrictions. Satellites are expected<br />
to be installed out of sight of public view. The Association<br />
appreciates residents taking the time to ensure compliance.<br />
CHILDREN ARE BACK IN SCHOOL…<br />
DRIVE SAFELY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD<br />
The children are back in school<br />
and each school bus carries a<br />
precious cargo. Be aware of<br />
children running to or from the<br />
bus. Also, be aware of children<br />
who are walking to or from<br />
a drop-off point. Please slow<br />
down and watch for children.<br />
The actions of children cannot<br />
be anticipated; frequently a<br />
child will dart into the street<br />
for no apparent reason. Please<br />
be ready for the unexpected<br />
when children are present in the neighborhood.<br />
State law requires that all traffic on both sides of the street stop<br />
for a school bus that is loading or discharging children. If a bus is<br />
stopped to load or unload children, traffic on both sides of the street<br />
must stop and wait for the bus to disengage its’ flashing lights. This<br />
is the law. Fines are substantial for breaking this law and you will<br />
get caught. Be very vigilant and exercise caution while driving in<br />
the neighborhood. Please be careful when children are present. We<br />
urge you to drive responsibly and to talk with your teenage children<br />
who are driving about the responsibility of driving carefully in the<br />
neighborhood.<br />
