Matt is Assistant Environmental Coordinator for the County of Santa Cruz.

As of 2:00 p.m. today there have been 6 cars, possibly more vandalized last night, some time between the hours of Midnight and 6 a.m. Three cars near the office in Sec. 3., one had a cell phone stolen, the other a GSP/prescription sunglasses stolen, Sec. 6, sunglasses and keys stolen, Sec. 1, a GPS, another car was in Sec. 1, a brand new stereo was stolen. No windows were broken.

Please report any theft to the Sheriff’s Dept. @ 471-1121 and office asap by phone and by filing out an incident report so that we can keep track of this activity. Notices will be placed in Members boxes alerting all to lock vehicles, bikes and valuables. Most of the break-ins and theft involve unlocked cars or bikes during dark. LOCK ALL VEHICLES AND BIKES.

We ask all members to immediately form a neighborhood watch. Those of you who may have security cameras showing any suspicious behavior, please report to the Sheriffs Dept. @ 471-1121 and office asap by calling 423-1530. Call 911 in case of emergency. The Sheriffs have been notified and will patrol the Park during the evenings. The Sheriffs can also check for finger prints if you do not touch your vehicle.

Heads up, everyone!  Please spread the word!

We are offering to pick up and haul large piles of yard waste at a cost to individual members. The cost will be based on the size of the load. Minimum charge is $50. A full dump truck load is $200.

Please call or come to the office and fill out a request for yard waste pick up. We do not offer any other dump service at this time.

Our June water bill is $1000 over our monthly cost compared to June of 2009. Please conserve water any way you possibly can and if you know of a leak that’s not being addressed, please contact the office.

Our water bills amount to one-fifth of our annual income, 20%. This is a huge annual cost for PPMC. Please do your part to conserve! Thank you.

Please use caution exiting on the exit road. I met with Caltrans today to ask them to provide better barricades on the north direction of Highway 9.

We are experiencing a higher level of Mosquitos this year. The Dept. of Agriculture has offered mosquito fish to anyone who has a pond in PPMC. If you would like to have fish brought to your pond, please contact (831) 454-2590. The service is free. This is a natural way of keeping mosquito numbers down.

Back gate (remote control) clickers have sold out and are being reordered. Please either call or come in to the office (831) 423-1530 if you would like us to reserve one for you. They are $25 each.

P.S. The back gate code has changed, please call the office for the new code. It will change again after Labor Day weekend.

Please do not block streets or park in such a way that your vehicle impedes others, especially emergency and service vehicles. Fire Engines, Propane, Trash trucks need that extra space to make turns. Please be considerate of others.

The office has limited space to keep large packages. Please pick up your packages as soon as possible.

Call the office at (831) 423-1530 for the new back gate code.
