Ms. Melton loves the Stone Oak community.  As she is a realtor, she understands residents’ concerns, and joined the Board years ago to ensure property values were protected – not only for herself, but for all property owners- and potential future Stone Oak property owners.  In addition to her current POA Board seat, she also currently serves as President of the Big Springs HOA, and as the Chairman of the Stone Oak POA Neighborhood Representative Committee (NRC).   The NRC is an integral part of the POA as it serves as the go-between for the POA and the community HOAs.  Ms. Melton keeps in constant contact with all Representatives, and makes them aware of any concerns so they can alert their communities.  This group also works to provide suggestions to the POA as to how funds can be used to benefit the community as a whole- such as the playground cover in Stone Oak Park.  She is also involved with many District 9 Committees and, after being selected from a group of applicants, graduated from the 2019 City of San Antonio Neighborhood Leadership Academy.  It should be noted, working with Councilman Courage, was instrumental in the development of the new “Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site” noise ordinance recently passed by City Council. She has worked hard to ensure Stone Oak remains a much-desired community within San Antonio, and hopes to continue to bring strength to the area and property owners.
