On February 18, 2006, at a duly noticed meeting of the PMLA Board of Directors, a decision was made by the Board to enact a moratorium on all PMLA lot mergers starting April 1, 2006. The moratorium will be in effect for one hundred and twenty (120) days after this date and no lot merger applica- tions will be acted upon during this timeframe.

The moratorium will give the Board the opportunity to review and study the Association’s current policies regarding mergers and de-mergers, solicit mem- ber input and possibly develop changes in an effort to mitigate the erosion of PMLA’s yearly assessment base.

All PMLA members are encouraged to participate in this process by attending the monthly Open Board meetings, writ- ing letters and emails and providing the Board of Directors with your thoughts and opinions.
