ALL ENERGIES
Tip of the Week: Remote monitoring of residential solar systems started about 10 years ago. Our first experience with remote monitoring was in 2013 with Apollo solar equipment at a very remote site. The remote monitoring not only lets us know everything is ok, it also gives us useful info on solar production and energy consumption. Now most manufacturers provide some sort of remote monitoring technology. If you need help making your solar system work better, email casey@allenergies.net or call/text 432-242-1874 Thanks, Casey!

TERLINGUA RANCH ELECTION
Our current BoD has made AGAIN made considerable progress for 2019. The income from the Lodge has been tremendous. The management now has a new (used) road grader paid out of operations income and the old one is now rebuilt!!! Life on the Ranch has continued, as always. BUT, land values are still rising due to more visitors and new buyers. The entire South County area has been discovered and is simply exploding. This is good and bad, but it is progress.
We have only ONE volunteer to run for the BOD. IT IS ESSENTIAL you mark your Ballot and RETURN it. There are still some folks out in the weeds that can pop up to "stir the pot" and create havoc. It is important to remember that our by-laws require that a candidate get a majority of the ballots cast (50% + 1) in order to be seated on the Board. This protects us from having board members who did not get a majority of support from the owners who voted. The BoD can function with as few as 7 Directors until the next election (2021).
Please go to the website: www.poatri.org 1) go to BASICS with the drop down, 2) go to Board Information, 3) Click on the candidate's NAME for Candidate Information, 4 Please read the applications closely. The Ballot gives only a minimal comment. Please get involved, VOTE.
BALLOT # 1. RUSSELL BUNDY
Russell has been on the Board for the past year. He has done a good job participated in the hard work. QUOTE FROM THE PAST…”The current BoD needs the ability to continue their positive progress" toward the bright future we can now see for Terlingua Ranch!!!!!
Please pass this on to all your friends and neighbors on your email list, if you agree with me. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact me. Thanks... Barbara Trammell 432-371-2414 home
