Last week there was a proposal submitted to clarify how long vacancy appointments should last as a result of officer elections now occurring every two years instead of every year. There was one sentence that should have been clarified when those changes were enacted.
If there is a two-thirds vote of the members present and by proxy at the next scheduled meeting (April 9), then these changes will become effective immediately.
At the PHCA Annual Meeting next month (July 10), the following set of Bylaws will be submitted. This will replace the current set of Bylaws. Comments and feedback are encouraged.
Current:
3. Shall inform members and/or residents of the community on matters of interest to the community by periodically publishing and distributing a newsletter.
Proposed:

At the next scheduled PHCA meeting the following set of Bylaws will be submitted. This will replace the current set of Bylaws. Comments and feedback are encouraged.
1. Membership shall be open to all residents and non-resident property owners of single family homes within Pimmit Hills. Pimmit Hills is defined as that area within the boundaries of Route 7, Magarity Road, the Dulles Access Road and Pimmit Run. Members shall be eighteen (18) or more years of age.
2. Membership shall be annual and will be granted upon receipt of an annual membership fee. Application for membership may be filed on any day of the year. Membership is granted after completion and receipt of membership application and annual dues. Membership renewal is required one year from the date that membership is granted. Continued membership is contingent upon being paid-in-full on membership dues. At the annual meeting each year, membership fees will be determined for the next year. A single payment of the annual membership fee will convey membership, and all the rights and privileges afforded to members. Membership fees are non-transferable and non-refundable.
