Community Info

Community Center Usage

The DMPOA Community Center is used for Board meetings, other community-related meetings, private functions, package deliveries and a community library (see next item). For those of you who request UPS, FedEx or others to make deliveries for you at the Community Center, there is a designated table located by the ramped handicap-accessible entrance. DMPOA, Inc. does not sign for nor is responsible for any personal, non-DMPOA deliveries. The Center remains unlocked, 24 hours, 7 days a week with the rare exceptions such as using the DMPOA Community Center for national, state and local elections, the doors are locked for a short period of time during the disassembly and loading of the voting machines and other equipment.

If you'd like to hold a community meeting or gathering at the Center, please check with the DMPOA Office Manager to verify the date you want to reserve is open. If the date is available, the DMPOA property owner reserving the facility must fill out an Agreement of Use form and submit it to the DMPOA Office Manager. There are no charges or fees associated with reserved uses of the Community Center but there is a cleaning deposit of $100.00 required to be paid at least one week before the desired use date. However, if the facility is not cleaned after use or damages have occurred to the property, the individual reserving the facility will be contacted and held responsible and if necessary, the DMPOA reserves the right to keep the $100.00 cleaning fee and even charge more if the damages exceed the $100.00 cleaning fee/deposit. To make reservations for private use, please call the Office Manager, Una Learish, at 432-426-3374.

Book & Video Library

Available in the Community Center and in the library buildings is an eclectic collection of donated and well organized books, videos and audio tapes. Everyone is welcome to browse and borrow from the library via the honor system. If you'd like to make a donation, are interested in helping maintain this free community service, the library is maintained by Erika and Matt Giambalvo.

Hunting

If you witness out-of-season hunting please contact the Game Warden.

Brush Pile

Only brush from within DMR is permitted in the DMPOA community Brush Pile, which is located across from the Community Center. State regulations prohibit dumping anything else on the ground, at the Brush Pile or elsewhere; see Illegal Dumping on the "The Trash on Trash" page. The pile is burned under the direction of the county and the DMR VFD Chief.

Road Materials

Please be reminded that DMPOA owns materials which are to be taken and used only by Board authorized persons/personnel (including materials on common property). There are several sources for purchasing materials, both in-town and including DMR residents Darell Fellers and Mike Fryer.
