History of ORIA

Oakridge Ranch is governed by the Oak Ridge Improvement Association (“ORIA”), a non-profit corporation registered with The State of Texas.  ORIA operates under a set of By-Laws, where each property owner is a member.  The membership elects a board of directors to manage the annual operating budget and fulfill all legal requirements of ORIA.

Control of ORIA was transferred from the developer to the Oakridge Ranch property owners in 2000, at which time the owners elected their first board of directors comprised of Oakridge Ranch property owners.  ORIA operates on a fiscal year starting on June 1st.  An Annual Meeting of ORIA members is held on the first Saturday in June each year to elect new directors and to conduct other business as necessary.

Contributions from generous landowners allowed for the purchase of Section 8 Tract 1 (approximately 2.6 acres) in the spring of 2008.  ORIA can park the road maintainer, road maintenance materials, ORIA property and hold community town halls and meetings in the renovated building.

Annual dues for each tract are collected to provide revenue for the ORIA operating budget.  ORIA board of directors are installed as officers to fulfill the duties of President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Vice President.  Various committees are formed to support ORIA functions.  All directors, officers, and committee members serve on a volunteer basis for the good of Oakridge Ranch.
