Swimming Pool

Also discussed at this weeks Committee meeting, was the rebuilding of the swimming pool.

I was pleased to inform the meeting that I have negotiated a draft agreement with the contractors to pay them by instalments as follows.

Euro 10,000 at commencement, followed by two payments of Euro 5000 during and at the end of the work. This will be followed by 12 monthly payments of Euro 1,500, making up the grand total of Euro 38,000. This is for a completely new pool built inside the old one, and re-vamping of the children's pool. The structure of the new pool will carry a 10 year guarantee against defects.

A condition of this agreement will be giving the company a contract of 12 months to maintain the pool at a cost of Euro 500 per month. Under the new swimming pool regulations, we are required to have the pool water professionally maintained and tested.

A legal contract will have to be drawn up, and signed at the Notario.

If all goes to plan, the pool will open in the middle of July, this is because time is needed for the various elements of the construction to harden correctly, under the terms of the guarantee.

Once opened the pool will be available for use by Owners all year round if they so wish, not just the three Summer months as has been the case until now.

The Committee voted unanimously to accept this agreement and I will be making the necessary arrangements as soon as possible.
