Meeting Type: In-Person Only. Date: Saturday, September 25th, 2021 Time: 10:00 AM Where: Delaware Township Municipal Building Address: 116 Wilson Hill Road, Dingmans Ferry, PA 18328 Good morning PMLE 5,6,7 residents and members. This communication is to let everyone know that our in-person Board of Directors meeting that was canceled back in June has been rescheduled and will be held on July 24th at 10:00 AM at the Delaware Township Municipal building.
Date: Saturday, July 24th, 2021 Time: 10:00 AM Where: Delaware Township Municipal Building Address: 116 Wilson Hill Road, Dingmans Ferry, PA 18328 Good evening all PMLE 5,6,7 Residents! This communication is to keep the residents of PMLE 5,6,7 in the loop regards to roadwork, as well as make the membership aware of a budget revision and meeting reschedule. Budget Revision: For 2021, we had originally set the roadwork budget at $55,000, with the intention of trying to tackle a few more secondary and tertiary roads. However, necessity has forced us to reassess and review previous years costs involving maintenance, pothole repair (whether volunteers with cold patch or a professional company), traffic volume and best possible use of community monies. Therefore, we increased the 2021/2022 roadwork budget to $70,000. Attached to this post is the revised and most current budget based on the above mentioned changes. That leads us into roadwork for 2021. 2021 Roadwork Plan: For 2021 we've decided to resurface the entire 2 miles of Mountain Top Drive, from Hillside Drive to Port Drive. However, this is a 2 phased approach that will take place through the next couple of weeks, or months (depending on scheduling/weather). We have taken this approach due to the historical costs of the previous 6 years, which were band aids, at best, as the road has been degrading/deteriorating rapidly over the last couple of years. Part of this is due to the amount of traffic seen on this road, which we cannot control, as this road services part of Section 6 residents and all of Section 7 residents. It is, ultimately, the most used road in this community with the highest amount of traffic. The way the phases will work are listed below:
Once we have the schedule set and in place, we will certainly make another announcement to let the community know, so that each of you can plan your traveling accordingly. June 26, 2021 Board Meeting: The board, in it's majority, will be unable to attend the June 26th Board Meeting. Therefore, at this time, we're tentatively rescheduling that meeting for July 24th, 2021. Historically, attendance for summer meetings has been low, but for the 26th meeting, we have too many board members who will not be in attendance due to personal obligations. However, with COVID restrictions being lifted in many areas, we expected that this would happen. So, if we are running into a similar issue for July, we're going to see if we can host a remote meeting, whereas, any questions from the board can be submit prior to the meeting via email. Please note, that we will certainly keep the community apprised of the situation as we progress through the summer. Finally, we'd like to thank those who have been patient and understanding in relation to roadwork. We sincerely appreciate it. For all others, it shouldn't need to be reminded that PMLE 5,6,7 Community Association has quite a few miles of road to maintain and some of those roadways are older than a lot of the people living here. The board needs to carefully weigh our budget (money on hand), upcoming bills, traffic on road surfaces, etc. It's not a fickle decision that can be made on a whim. The Township has approved our remaining meeting dates, starting with April 24th, 2021. However, as we're all aware, PA is currently seeing a drastic spike in COVID cases. Therefore, the board, as a whole, has decided to cancel the April 24th meeting. We didn't have too much to go over, other than the 2021/2022 budget, upcoming projects and information on dues billing. With that being said, we've provided the newsletter and budget attached to this post, and we'll provide a detailed overview of some of the highlights.
Good evening PMLE 5,6,7. We hope that you had an excellent Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. That said, we have a few things to announce for all. We typically always have a January Meeting. Ours was scheduled for January 23rd, 2021, however, will not be taking place. The Board of Supervisors met and voted that they would not allow any outside entities, such as ourselves, to use the building through the end of February 2021. They will meet again in February to vote on the remainder of our dates (April 24, 2021; June 26, 2021; September 23, 2021) and let us know. So, to ensure that our members receive accurate and up to date information, in lieu of not having a board meeting, we are still pushing our newsletter. Attached you will find our newsletter with all of the high level detail of the things we would have discussed at the board meeting. We are providing it in a format that you can easily read here on the website, as well as a downloadable file that you can print for convenience, should you feel the need to. We, also, want to reiterate, that Facebook is a "community page", owned and operated by community members, where all manner of things are posted, such as things being sold, anger fueled posts, swiping at other community members (in a verbal sense), etc. While this behavior is childish and not very adult like, it's the nature of the beast. Facebook is a "social" community where community members can share, not an official outlet of the board. For convenience, we publish a link to this community news article, to get as much exposure as possible, and on occasion we have published a live board meeting for those that like to attend and can't get to the meetings in person. Please be reminded that Facebook is not an official outreach of the board, nor is it endorsed by us, therefore, we will not respond to posts in a board capacity, especially anger fueled, finger pointing posts. These are not constructive, especially considering the cliques that reside in this community, the pot stirrers/social media warriors, and differing opinions. It never leads to anything good and usually leads to further division. The fact of the matter is that we're neighbors. We certainly don't have to like each other, but we should be a little more considerate of our neighbors, because I'm sure if the shoe were on the other foot, you wouldn't appreciate the same level of non-sense being done to you. Which is a great segue into the topic of problems, issues, complaints with neighbors. While there is no police force directly assigned to the Dingmans Ferry area, we implore you to handle problems correctly. If you see a safety issue, have a noise complaint or see a violation, contact your local authorities. However, we would suggest that you reach out to your neighbor directly to work it out with them, before resorting to the authorities. The PMLE board is not a baby-sitting service. Decent human beings should know how to deal with their neighbors, should already know how to behave or act, etc. Please try and work on the issues with your neighbors as a starting point. Last, but certainly not least, if you want to be on our email mailing list for newsletters, please send us your email address. This information is not shared with other entities, nor will we use it for anything other than the newsletters that get posted quarterly. ![]()
First and foremost, PMLE 5,6,7 would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year with the hope that 2021 proves to be a much better year, in terms of health, finances and less stress overall.
This notice is going out to remind our members that as of right now, the Municipal building is not able to be used for any extracurricular activities due to COVID concerns, and rightly so. The dates that we requested for our meetings are below, however, the supervisors will need to vote again on January 13th, to decide what to do and whether we can use the building for those dates. That being said, because we are now in January, officially, and while we may not have a meeting, we will still provide a quarterly, via the website as well as those that are subscribed to our mailing list, so that you all know what is going on within PMLE 5,6,7, such as where we stand with the budget, topics of priority being discussed going into the 2021 year, etc. Proposed Meeting Dates: Saturday, January 23rd, 2021 Saturday, April 24th, 2021 Saturday, June 26th, 2021 Saturday, September 23rd, 2021 Please be reminded that the Board of Directors is holding it's Fall meeting, which is the final meeting of 2020. The meeting will be on September 19th, 2020 at 10:00 AM EST, held at the Delaware Township Municipal Building at 116 Wilson Hill Road, Dingmans Ferry, PA 18328.
Social Distancing/Indoor Gathering Rules: Per Governor Wolf, all indoor gatherings are limited to 25 occupants. With 5 board members, that means only 20 members will gain entrance.

As many of you are aware, COVID-19, otherwise known as Coronavirus, is rapidly gaining momentum. Countries across the globe are working hard to tackle this issue. Responses are quite vast, in how each country, state, province, etc. has decided to handle it. Pennsylvania is no different. While President Trump issued a National Emergency on COVID-19, as well as declared it a Pandemic, many states are ramping up efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 as well. In fact, Governor Wolf declared that all PA Schools are to be closed through March 30th, 2020, as of today's news. That is subject to change, based on spread, increases in cases, etc.
That being said, the Delaware Township building is off use to extracurricular activities, or outside organizations. PMLE 5,6,7 utilizes those building to hold it's quarterly meetings and is affected by this news. However, in lieu of current national spread of COVID-19, the possibility of transmittal, and the age differences of our community members, we agree with this course of action and are canceling our April 18th, Quarterly BoD meeting. While the by-laws state that the meetings must be held, I'm sure that you all can understand that under the current circumstances, we have much more pressing issues to worry about. We are willing to negotiate with the Township to try and re-schedule the meeting, once this immediate threat is contained. We do, however, also want our members to understand the gravity of what's happening. Ensuring that they are as safe as possible, and as comfortable as possible. We are providing a few links below so that our members can stay up to date on the latest news, situations, risks, etc. Delaware Township, has posted an article with comprehensive CDC/National response, which we'll be sharing as a link as well. We encourage you all to review it. We also encourage you all to prepare yourselves for self-quarantine (if needed/applicable), self-reliance, etc. Immediate Basic Needs & Reminders:
