On September 10th, 2022 the Board of Directors held it's quarterly fall meeting. The fall meeting is typically where votes are held for any running board members, decisions are made on retention (if needed/required) and we give an overview of PMLE's operations (things we didn't get to, ongoing projects, etc.).

That being said, PMLE has elected 3 new board members, 2 are retiring and 1 is moving into Member at Large to help with transition. The newsletter is available for download below or review via Scribd.

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.

Spring 2022 Quarterly Newsletter

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.

PMLE's Board of Directors meeting was held on September 25th, 2021. Attached is a copy of the newsletter. For a clean, printable version of this document, please follow this link.

Please see the attached Quarterly Estates Newsletter for PMLE 5, 6, 7 Community Association. This newsletter follows our quarterly meetings, more specifically our meeting held on 07/24/21.

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.

1. April 24th, 2021 Quarterly meeting is CANCELED.
2. June 26th, 2021 Quarterly Meeting will be held, as of this time.
3. Treasury.
   1. Checking Account (Current): $87,293.06
   2. Money Market (Current): $10,011.76
   3. CD (Current): $20,000
4. Road work. For 2021/2022 we've budgeted $55,000 for road work to be done. We've put an ad in the paper to solicit vendors and have a few that will be in to provide estimates in the next couple of weeks.
   1. Mountain Top Drive. This road is a priority for us to fix (pothole repair). However, we're planning to keep road work costs low over this year and the next couple of years so that we can either re-do Mountain Top altogether, or in 2-3 sections over the next couple of years.
   2. Other roads. We do have our list of other roads that need to be done as well. The board will make their vote once they have all quotes/estimates in.
5. 2021/2022 Dues.
   1. The board has voted on not raising dues again this year. The board will continue to evaluate possible cost savings, cutting overhead costs and focus on collecting bad debt.
      
   2. The 2021/2022 budget has been voted on and approved by the board.
      
   3. Berkheimer will be sending out dues statements within the next couple of weeks.
      1. Annual Payment: No changes. Payment is due by June 1st, 2021.
      2. Quarterly Payment: Installment dates are: 06/01/21, 09/01/2021, 12/01/21 and 03/01/2022
      3. Penalty fees apply for the 2021/2022 dues year. Penalty fees were removed for 2020/2021 dues year.

Finally, we want to extend a thank you to Joe J., who has donated his time to build PMLE a new dock, as well as clean up the Lake area. The lake area looks great and should be a welcome site for all avid fishermen/women.

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.

Fall 2019 Newsletter can be viewed below. If you require a copy to download and print, you can find our Quarterly Newsletters are stored under Useful Information on the PMLE Documents page. PMLE will be transitioning to a digital newsletter in the 2020 months, as most people have internet and printers. Those that wish to get them via postal mail, please contact any board member, or send an email to our mailbox letting us know. Thank you.

Have a safe and happy holidays!
