Committees
RAC (Resident Architectural Committee)
All Kings Contrivance Village residents 18 years or older whose properties are in compliance with the covenants, are eligible to be appointed to the Resident Architectural Committee (RAC). Members of the RAC are appointed by the board each September. These volunteers review exterior alteration applications, visit properties which residents wish to alter, discuss applications during the twice a month RAC meetings, and decides whether the proposed alteration(s) is in accordance with the village covenants. The RAC then votes to recommend that the Architectural Committee (AC) approve, approve with provisions, or deny each application. Although the AC is not bound to accept the RAC recommendation, past activity clearly demonstrated an intent to rely very heavily on the RAC recommendations. RAC members keep their property in compliance with the covenants and do not receive compensation for volunteering.

Election Committee
Any member of the village eligible to vote in the election and not a candidate for any office in the election is eligible for membership to the Election Committee. The Election Committee is responsible for the proper conduct of the annual elections to include validating nomination petitions, officiating candidates’ night (in the event of a race), and issuing, receiving and accounting all ballots. The Village Board appoints the members to the committee every year. Please contact the village manager is you are interested in serving on this committee.
