We're hoping that the summer weather is treating you fairly and that you're enjoying the nice break from snow and winter weather, in general. We do have a few announcements to make about upcoming business.

1. Legal Pursuit and Collection(s).
   
   1. As of the 05/01/2022 through 04/30/2023 statement that you received, our dues are now considered late if not paid within 90 days and will immediately be turned over to collections through our collection vendor, Creditech. This is upon the recommendation of our lawyer and makes pursuit of legal action a little easier on the community.
      
   2. We finally finished our paperwork and information gathering for our next round of legal pursuit. Through the month of June, PMLE will be working with Creditech and their legal team to take approximately 17 members will be going through Creditech's legal team, while another 24 will be going through our personal legal team.
      
   3. Please be advised, if you owe any money to the community, it is currently in your best interest to make that right with Creditech, as the next step is through legal action. We are not thrilled to have to do this, however, we aren't left with any choice. We tried, with many members to follow the nice route and send letters urging them to pay their balances and work with us, which received only a 10% positive response. Most just ignored them.
      
   4. For those that have had judgements placed on them through the court, please know that we are pursuing our monies further to ensure that the community gets paid what they are owed. If you are one of those members, you might want to consider making arrangements with the board to slow the progress of your legal pursuit.
      
2. Road Work.
   
   1. Pot Holes, through Sections 5, 6 & 7 have been quoted, approved and our down payment has been paid. We are currently waiting for a confirmed date through our vendor/contractor. Once we have that information, we will relay it on this site.
      
   2. Road work votes have not taken place yet. We are awaiting some vendors to quote the roads we've targeted with our "wish" list. Due to legal costs, we have a smaller budget than in previous years, so are looking to make the most out of our budget.
      
      1. Once we receive our list of quotes, the board will vote on the roads and that list will be made public for all PMLE members, as well as the time table for getting the work done.
         
3. Reschedule Meeting.
   
   1. At this time we do NOT have a reschedule date for the previously missed meeting. However, once we have confirmation we will ensure that we post that information on this site providing, at least, a 2 week notice.
      
4. Board Positions.
   
   1. As always, board positions will be free in September. PMLE is actively seeking volunteers to handle board business to replace outgoing board members. Please send your information to the board email address containing a short bio of yourself and why you'd like to join the board. That information will go out to all members in August to be tallied for our September meeting.
      
      1. Number of members required:
         
         1. At least 4
            
      2. Requirements are simple:
         
         1. Member in good standing.
            
         2. Ability to use a computer (emails, spreadsheets, etc.)
            
         3. The ability to be bonded (Treasurer only).
            
         4. Ability to attend meetings (4 per year).
            
         5. Finally, live within the community to be able to respond to events, problems, etc. However, please note that this isn't a requirement, but it is helpful.
            
   2. Please note: This community has seen an influx of newer members, who, most likely, have every intention of staying in the community for awhile. Why not put some time in on the board? You'll get to know the community, it's members and it's struggles a lot more intimately which provides excellent insight into this HoA's strengths/weaknesses. Further, new ideas are something that this community desperately needs. While this current board has made great strides toward positive changes, we also know that there's so much more potential and fresher ideas are welcome.
      

Please know that the PMLE board has tried every reasonable possibility to collect the debt owed to this community. We didn't make the decision to pursue legal action lightly, however, it's gotten too far out of hand for any board member to tackle without legal help.

Please be advised that there are too many board members who will not be around for the May 28th Board Meeting, therefore, we are postponing it. Once we confirm a date with the township and the board, will gladly provide that information here, as well as provide a 2 week reminder for the board meeting.

We hope that everyone enjoys their Memorial Day weekend.

This is a reminder that our quarterly meeting is coming up. All of the details are below. As always, our meeting summary will be emailed out to those members who are subscribed to our mailing list as well as being posted on this website within 14 days after the close of the meeting.

Topics for Discussion:

1. Upcoming By-Law changes requiring membership vote (must be discussed prior to September vote)
   1. Annual Dues Language (Legal - Ensuring that dues can only be changed by board majority)

As By-Law changes are an item to be voted on by the membership, we are obligated to allow discussion and provide notification for the September vote.

Meeting Type: In-Person Only
Date: Saturday, May 28th, 2022
Time: 10:00 AM
Where: Delaware Township Municipal Building
Address: 116 Wilson Hill Road, Dingmans Ferry, PA 18328

It is that time of the year where we are going to be closing our fiscal year and start with the new fiscal year. This post is to provide you with information to help you in paying your upcoming Berkheimer bill, paying any arrears that you may owe through Creditech and to notify you of changes. We're outlining the information below to make it easier for you to navigate/understand.

1. Changes - Effective 05/01/2022
   1. Late Dues: For the 05/01/2022 fiscal year and upon the recommendation of our lawyer, PMLE will now consider any dues owed after 90 days as delinquent. After 90 days owed, all members will be turned over to Creditech for collection, and possibly legal, action.
      1. This helps us to manage litigation a lot easier, as we often find ourselves litigating dues for arrears but struggle with current year dues.
   2. The above change does not affect members who opt into the quarterly payment plan and remain current.
      
2. Dues - 05/01/2022 through 04/30/2023
   1. The dues are NOT increasing for the 05/01/22 fiscal year. There are a few reasons for this, but the most relevant one is that we are tackling the amount of arrears owed to the community. We feel that, in good conscience, we cannot discuss raising dues until we get that under control. Especially, because it's unfair that we charge members in good standing to cover the costs of members who don't even try.
3. Creditech - Dues prior to 05/01/22
   1. If you are a  member owing outstanding dues, please be advised that PMLE has opted to follow a legal recourse. While legally it costs the community upfront, those legal fees are added to the member's total bill.
   2. We implore you to reach out to Creditech, via 866-300-1721 to get your account current. We, as in the Board of Directors, reached out to the members owing smaller balances via letter during the 05/01/21-04/30/22 year to let them know they had amounts due to the community as well as our intention to collect via legal action. A small percentage opted to resolve the matter with PMLE. However, going forward, we will no longer be doing this.
   3. If you have a bad address listed with PMLE, and you are not receiving your Creditech or Berkheimer invoices, we want you to know that it's up to you to contact us with your new address/information. It is not our job to find you or your new address.
4. Berkheimer Bills.
   1. Berkheimer bills are expected to be mailed on, or around 05/02/2022. There may be a 1 week delay due to the 90 day late change, but we will certainly update everyone via the website once we have confirmation that the bills go out.
   2. PMLE 5,6,7 will still offer the following options:
      1. Annual Payment in Full
      2. Quarterly Payment plan (4 equal payments across the fiscal year)
         1. Please read the disclaimer that goes with accepting the Quarterly Payment Plan.
         2. Please keep your "Payment Coupons" so that you are aware of the dates the monies are owed as Berkheimer will NOT be sending you reminders.
   3. How to pay?
      1. Mobile App: Get it HERE (directly from Berkheimer website, or found on Google Play and Apple App Store).
      2. Online: Berkheimer's Site (There is a fee for paying online. The cheaper fee is attached to ACH payments)
         1. Please ensure that you are paying under the section labeled "Per Capita Tax, Occupation Tax, Real Estate Tax & Utility Bill Payments (HAB-MISC)"
      3. Phone: 866-225-8451 (There is a fee charged by Berkheimer)
      4. Mail to: HAB-MISC, PO Box 21450, Lehigh Valley, PA 18002-1450

Finally, please see the attached bills so that you are familiar with them and know what to expect. As always, we encourage you to reach out to the board if you don't receive your bill within the next 2-3 weeks.

To all PMLE 567 HoA residents,

The HoA has been contacted by Treesmith Utility Arborists (TSA, Met-Ed's representative) regarding their coming to PMLE 567, sometime in later May, to clear trees, tree limbs and brush that has any potential of interfering with the power lines in the community.

This is the statement (in BOLD) that we received from them:  
         
        "Treesmith Utility Arborists, will be conducting routine maintenance of vegetation on behalf of Met-Ed, approximately starting this May. Treesmith will be performing vegetation clearance along the power line right of way, to ensure safe and reliable electric for Met-Ed customers, to help prevent service interruptions. This work will be performed at no expense to you. 
          Routine maintenance involves trimming of live, healthy, mature trees to obtain proper clearance to power lines, as well as, addressing hazards along the utility. The trees deemed hazards will be tagged with blue ribbon and removed (unless day of crews finds additional hazard) debris will be chipped and large wood remains on site. Tall brush (Woody Saplings up to 10 inch) along or under the utility will be removed as well. Where removals take place, herbicide application will be disbursed for stump regrowth treatment. The herbicide is an oil based Garlon 4 direct spray, that lasts in ground approximately 45 days. Service drops (pole to house) are not included in routine maintenance, unless pressure or mechanical strain is obstructing service wire, pressure will then be removed."

Any wood that is left behind is available for any member of the community that can use it for burning. A member of the Board has been in direct contact with TSA to insure there is no unsightly work remaining. Please be aware that the HoA does not have any mechanism to interfere with this process, as it is deemed necessary and is permissible for the Utility Company to perform this maintenance. If you have any direct issues or concerns, please contact Treesmith Arborists.

Please see the attached newsletter for PMLE 5,6,7 after our quarterly BOD meeting on March 26th. Those of you on our email list will be receiving it shortly. For those that want to download and print a copy, please follow the below links. As always, these files can be found on the website under Userful Information, then PMLE Documents.

The arrival of the upcoming storm this weekend gives us an opportunity to remind everyone of some of the personal requirements set out in the By-Laws for our roads with regard to snow and ice removal.
​

• Do not leave your vehicle out on the roadside while the roads are in the process of being cleared. If your vehicle continues to force the vendor to plow around you, it will be towed at the owner's expense.  Remember, you are impacting all residents who may need to use the road.
• Similarly, do not leave trash barrels at the roadside.  The vendor has been instructed to do whatever is necessary to clear our roads. This may very well mean that your trash barrels will suffer.
• Once the roads are cleared, whether you clear your own driveway or have someone clear it, do not put the snow you are clearing back out onto the plowed roads.  Again, you are endangering anyone who has to use the road.
• Do let the board know if there is a circumstance that requires us to contact the vendor. By the same token, remember, we are not PennDOT ,NJDOT or NYDOT. Allow time for the vendor to do as much as they can. That may mean some patience on all our parts. By all means, if there is an emergency and you need to get out, of course do so.
• Lastly, please do not approach or interrupt the vendor while they are working.  They use the following priority with regards to roads. First, all the main roads are taken care of, next the connecting roads are addressed, and last, the Courts, Ways, etc. are taken care of.  This follows the same priority used by state and local road crews.

Please be safe. If you or your neighbor need something, let folks know.. These are the times when helping each other is the best way to approach things.

1. Complaints/Suggestions: The board, since as far back as 2010 or further, has always stated that if there are any suggestions, complaints or problems that arise, the board is to be notified via writing or the topic to be brought up at meetings. In the last 3-5 years, the board has done a lot of work in "modernizing" this process, whereas, members can alert the board via email, phone/voicemail, through the website and still via writing and/or the board meetings.
   1. To get information to the board, no matter what it is, whether it be a complaint, observation, grievance or suggestion, please follow the proper channels. Those are:
      1. Website contact form
      2. Email
      3. Phone
      4. In writing sent to PMLE's address
   2. Facebook explanation. Both Facebook pages, PMLE 5,6,7 & PMLE 5,6,7 - Yeah I Wanna Know, are NOT owned, nor operated by the PMLE Board. They are community pages, started by community members, for community members. They are NOT an official extension of board information, therefore, it's a place where members of the community can reach out to each other and ask for recommendations on services/vendors. They can sell or barter items, offer services or even ask for help. They can share social events that they think others may be interested in, etc.
      1. The Board DOES as a matter of convenience, post the links to the website for news, quarterly newsletters, meeting reminders and major updates when we remember to. We'd prefer not to have to post anything on Facebook, but we find that members seem to only be programmed to use Facebook as some sort of "news" agency, when in truth, it's not. It's social media with the focus on "social".
2. Mailbox Area: The board was alerted to the fact that our contractor’s machine used for clearing our mailbox area was down. He did shovel a small path for our members and our mail carrier. He’s working to get the machine up and running, or bring in another machine that can fit within the path between the 2 rows of mailboxes so that we don’t run into this issue again. His goal was to get that area cleaned up yesterday, if possible, with wider paths. He did state that he’d address it as soon as he had the machine available, but will work to keep a path shoveled in the interim.
3. Winter (General): As much as the board, or anyone would love to tell you that our roads will always be perfect, they won't. Six years ago, through winter, the same complaints and gripes existed then, that do today. There's always going to be disgruntled people for one reason or another. Human nature is that we’ll focus on the negative, never the positive. That being said, there are some things that need to be understood by all members of the community:
   1. The Contractor: He/She is not "called" in. The contract was written in a way that he's responsible to ensure our roads are passable, as best as he can during any event, so that emergency services and inbound/outbound traffic can navigate through the community. Once the event is over it's expected that he'll clean up, widen the roads, and treat the hills/curves/intersections accordingly. The contract is built in such a fashion to be autonomous, whereas, the contract is paid, if the contractor is performing his/her duties.
   2. Snow & Ice Committee: While we'd love to tell you that this has active participation, the bottom line is that it doesn't. Active participation is something going to the wayside in this community (this will be discussed in more detail below). That said, please know that there is no Snow & Ice Committee, at least with active participants.
   3. Expectations: If anyone is expecting to see no snow or ice on our backwoods roads, then expectations are being set too high. This is reality. Reality is that we don't have the PennDOT, NJDOT, NYDOT budget. We don't even have the Township budget, quite frankly. The goal is to have passable roads if caution and a speed prudent to the conditions are being used.
   4. Patience is a virtue: I know that most understand this statement, so quite frankly, have some patience. The contractor has been instructed that the snow route is a priority, as well as hills and curves. During any event, while ongoing, the contractor simply doesn’t have the manpower to ensure your road is completely devoid of snow or ice. The fact is that we have so many trees blocking out the sun, many roads don’t see sunlight to be able to warm up or melt. We have to learn to adapt. Therefore, please have some patience and drive a speed prudent to the road conditions.
   5. Complaints/Observations/Suggestion: Please DO alert the board to areas that may be trouble. The board members also have jobs and families and may not be aware of problem areas. However, please refrain from excessive complaints in the midst of a storm and when/if you do make a complaint, please do so through the proper channels, which also means that it will be addressed faster. If you post a complaint on Facebook, it may not be addressed, as board members do not go on Facebook or use Facebook to view/address complaints, therefore, it will most likely be missed.
4. Participation: This topic requires its own discussion. Participation in this small community is rather low. It's been on the decline for, at least, a decade. Participation at meetings is poor, where maybe 10 people show up, at most, at any given meeting. Reading the quarterly newsletters, being engaged, looking for opportunities to be a part of the solution, not the problem are things that seem to go by the wayside around here. In fact, some of the most vocal people are the least likely to be involved, but they sure are quick with criticism, sarcasm and finger pointing.
   1. Community Volunteers: The community always needs people to help out. Things like cleaning up garbage on the roadsides. Weeding/Raking out culvert/drainage ditches. Clearing trees/brush along the roads. Weeding/Mowing the mailbox area and the lake area. See, these things are always needed, and typically, the same small group of people actually handle them.
   2. Board Members: If you are unhappy with the way things are currently handled, we are happy to welcome additional, or new board members. As a board member you can be an agent of change. Something that the members don't realize is that the board, within the last 4 years, has cut a lot of costs to keep our dues from being raised. Prior to the last 3-4 years, the dues were being raised, on average, every 2 years. Whether it was a $5.00 or $10.00 increase is insignificant. What most people don't realize is that the dues were being raised to cover the costs of the one's not paying. While it was touted as inflation raises, the truth of the matter is that not every single neighbor pays his/her dues/share. In fact, I'd bet you'd be surprised to find out that some of the complainers are ultimately not paying members. It’s the nature of the beast. So, we’re on the subject of board participation, let's talk about what happens when we get none or board members get tired of having to deal with the constant drama.
      1. Board Members Resign: This should be a given, considering you know that new board members are not popping up. If board members resign, then who runs the HOA? Who ensures that your roads are being plowed? Who can you gripe to so that you can get your road fixed, plowed, sanded, salted, etc.? Where does that leave the members who are expecting someone else to handle it?
      2. HOA Management Company: The board has explored this as a possibility. The problem is that we're not "profitable". For an HoA Management company to take us on, we need to be able to pay the company what they feel managing us is worth. That means we either raise dues and then turn it over, or we manage ourselves, like it's been done for the last 20+ years.
      3. The above are just some of the problems that this HOA is facing with a lack of volunteers. There are people within this community who have served on this board (on and off) for the last 15-20+ years. Why did they do it? They loved their little slice of the Poconos. They took pride in the community to keep it running and keep it running without $1100.00 per year dues. That’s the same reason that we have 3 of out 6 board members held over for another year. In some cases, some of these board members have been in a Board seat for 5 years. They need their lives back, their privacy and their sanity. They need a break. Don’t they deserve that much?
         1. Board Positions needed and expectations:
            1. President: Handles or oversees the day to day within the community. As of today, the job of the President is to oversee PMLE's debt. This includes court presence for the judgment(s), negotiating the debt on behalf of the community, etc. His/her job also entails running of the Quarterly Meetings. Other duties may include, answering complaints/grievances, dealing with vendors, resale certificates, etc.
            2. Vice-President: The Vice-President handles all of the same duties as the President, in the President's absence. However, while the President is active his/her duties may include answering complaints/grievances, dealing with vendors, resale certificates, etc.
            3. Secretary: The Secretary's job is to attend all meetings and record notes/minutes from the meeting(s). This also entails letter writing to members, vendors, etc. May include other duties as prescribed by the President.
            4. Treasurer: This position is the most important position. The Treasurer is in charge of all community funds, including payout(s), deposits, balancing the books, taxes, creating our budget plan, checking PMLE's mail, etc. May also include other duties as prescribed by the President if needed.
            5. Member At Large: These positions typically handle any duties prescribed by the President. It mostly consists of resale certificates, answering communications (such as complaints, grievances, realtor inquiries) (written or phone), dealing with vendors, etc.
            6. Entire Board: In this day and age, the entire board has been trained/equipped to be able to handle anyone else's position in a time of need, sickness, emergency, etc. The only exception is the Treasurer duties, which remain with that board member to ensure accountability. However, the board can be structured to handle tasks as they all agree upon, ensuring that no one board member is expected to handle more than any other.
            7. For PMLE to function, per our by-laws, PMLE will require no less than 5 Board Members at any given time, up to a total of 15 Board Members. Board positions are for 3 year terms and requires a 1-year break in service before being re-elected to a board seat.
            8. Board Requirements:
               1. Computer/Software Usage. Most of the tasks we do are done on PC's and/or Mac's. This would require some familiarity with MS products such as Excel and Word, as well as PDF documents, Quickbooks, Email, etc.
               2. Must be a deeded member, meaning on the deed of the home/property.
               3. Must be at least 21 years of age and a member in good standing.
               4. Willing to donate time for Quarterly Meetings as well as time to handle PMLE tasks. Typically, it involves about 10 hours per month and meetings are held exclusively on Saturday's.

If any of us moved here with the hopes of getting NY/NJ quality roads, sidewalks and street lights, while paying cheap PA taxes, then I have to inform you that you did it wrong. Most members of this community moved into it because the taxes were cheap, the dues weren’t burdensome and it is quiet/peaceful.

Finally, the board asks that you all gain a perspective and learn some patience. The board exists because they are adamant about preserving PMLE's little slice of the Pocono's. They understand that this isn't a NY or NJ suburban neighborhood where we're installing sidewalks and streetlights. Each and every board member has their own social life, families, events and activities. They volunteer to be members because they want to do their part within this community. Therefore, respect them, their lives, their time, their privacy, etc. They don't do this because they are paid well, let alone even getting paid at all.

Our contractor asked us to put the word out about the road conditions. Many of the secondary and tertiary roads are very slick. Temperatures are below freezing and what the salt is melting is just refreezing on the roads. He is going to continue treating the roads, hoping that the weather does warm up throughout the day. Please bear in mind that tomorrow we're supposed to see a high of 18 degrees, which will bring about another round of possible ice on the roads. Please use the utmost caution while traversing PMLE's roads.

The PMLE 5,6,7 Board of Directors meeting was canceled for January 8th. However, as the community has a lot going on, it's imperative that we still provide the necessary information to our members. Please see the below Quarterly Newsletter. To download a copy of your own, please click this link.

Please be advised that due to the recent outbreak of COVID in our surrounding area, the board has decided to cancel our January 8th meeting. This is to ensure we're being responsible in not passing COVID around unnecessarily, keeping our at-risk members safe, as well as ensuring that our board members are not needlessly exposed. We will do everything in our power to reschedule this meeting, but cannot make any guarantees at this time, due to unpredictability in relation to COVID.
For those unaware, some of the school districts have a shortage of bus drivers due to COVID case spikes. These spikes not only affect our bus drivers, but our surrounding communities. This includes break-out cases among the vaccinated. As we all know, at this point during the COVID pandemic, it's not a matter of getting it, but rather a matter of when.
While not having a meeting is not an ideal situation, we still have information that needs to go out to our members. Therefore, this weekend, please watch for our member update. The post will be rather lengthy and will include an update on everything going on to date. We expect to have this information posted by Sunday evening so that all of our members remain informed. As always, please keep the pmle567.com website bookmarked and be sure to check for regular updates from the board.
Finally, if there is specific information that you would like to discuss, please reach out to the board via the website or email.

Final Reminder for PMLE members. Our Quarterly PMLE Board of Directors meeting is coming up this Saturday. The details for the upcoming meeting are below. We look forward to seeing you there.

Meeting Type: In-Person Only.
Date: Saturday, January 8th, 2022
Time: 10:00 AM
Where: Delaware Township Municipal Building
Address: 116 Wilson Hill Road, Dingmans Ferry, PA 18328

Good evening PMLE members. This is a 2 week reminder of our Quarterly PMLE Board of Directors meeting. The details for the upcoming meeting are below. We look forward to seeing you there.

Meeting Type: In-Person Only.
Date: Saturday, January 8th, 2022
Time: 10:00 AM
Where: Delaware Township Municipal Building
Address: 116 Wilson Hill Road, Dingmans Ferry, PA 18328

As we're all aware, winter can be pretty harsh in the Pocono area, or, it can blow by without many incidents. That being said, we got our first little bit of snow in the form of a "dusting" the other day, therefore, it's the perfect time to put out some reminders to our members.

1. Electric can go out and remain out for days. If you have, or use, a generator, please ensure you have fuel on hand.
   
   1. Heating. If you don't have a generator please ensure you have a means to alternatively heat your homes and keep a supply of that fuel on hand.
      
   2. Your food/water supply should be able to maintain you and your family members for a couple of days, at the least.
      
2. Snow removal for your personal property is your concern. Further, when snow shoveling, plowing or snow blowing your properties, please do not push that snow back onto the roads, especially if the roads have already been plowed/treated.
   
   1. We do not place recommendations on who you should use for snow removal. However, our contractor is not for hire for any community members. This is part of our contract. There used to be members of this community that would plow for a fee, however, we're unsure if any are still doing that work. We advise reaching out on the community Facebook pages to see if anyone still does this.
      
3. Your trash cans, are not the plow contractor's responsibility to worry about. If your cans remain at the road level, you run the risk of those cans being damaged, lost or buried and are at your expense.
   
4. Speed Limit is 20 MPH. Please keep your speed in mind, especially during snow/ice events. We have 1 plow contractor who services the entire community, which is around 13+ miles of road surfaces.
   
   1. We do have children who walk home in the winter months and the shoulder is rather limited when plowed snow takes up that real estate. PLEASE, PLEASE keep this mind.
      
5. If, for some reason, you cannot make it up any of the hills, you can park your vehicles at the Mailbox area. Ensure that your vehicle is parked out of the way of the plow contractor and let the board know that the vehicle is there (via email or website).
   
6. Downed trees and limbs. If they are in front of your home, coming off of your property, they are your problem to deal with. Many neighbors are willing to help, if you reach out and ask.
   
7. During any major storm event or power outage, please reach out to your neighbors and check on them. If you need help, for any reason, please reach out to your neighbors.
   
8. Ensure that your gutters are cleaned out so that you don't get any ice build up damaging your roof.
   

Finally, we hope that every single member of PMLE 5,6,7 remains safe through this winter.
