By-Laws Vote Passes! In the recent By-Laws election we had 40 ballots cast. The proposed PHNA By-Laws changes were adopted by the members by a 72% approval margin. 29 voted yes 11 voted no Among other minor changes, the following were approved: The small group of homes on Westover, west end of Jefferson, have been added to the neighborhood. Please join us in welcoming these new neighbors to the association! We hope to see many of them at the October neighborhood picnic. The new By-Laws will provide flexibility for the size of the Board to be enlarged from five to as many as nine members based on the interest of the membership in serving. The Board size increase will allow committee chairs to function more closely with the Board as officers. The amended version of the By-Laws can be viewed on the Pemberton Heights website.
