The yearly meeting was held in the Bar in preference to the terrace mainly because of the heavy showers. Paco and his supporters were already insitu and had been since 9.00am. The meeting was well attended, extra seats had to be brought in from outside. Paco and his Spanish supporters left as the meeting got underway but not before distributing a notice in Spanish, which translated into a request from them to the Procuradora de los Tribunales in writing to put forward an appeal against the court judgement found in Pepe's favour earlier in the year. It is our understanding that this judgement was final and no appeals could be made.
The meeting opened with a few words from the President remembering those who have passed on and thoughts for anyone who is suffering from illness. The President also thanked his committee and others who have helped throughout a very difficult year not only financially.
The minutes of last year's AGM were signed as a true copy although I believe not many owners had received a copy. The balance sheet was distributed resulting in several queries, it was stated that owners can go to the office of APYME at any time for explanations. A separate sheet was circulated itemising expenditure.
During the year 30,000 Euros has been paid out in relation to inherited expenses from the previous year as reported in earlier posts this included Social Security, taxes, overdue fees to APYME and others.
The majority of owners wanted the swimming pool functional and this has been achieved albeit at great expense, there is still 12,000 Euros outstanding which is to paid off at 1,500 monthly and a further 500 Euros a month for maintenance. Considering Mi-Sol was paying out 1,000 Euros weekly as a result of water leakage, this fee should be justified.
As reported in an earlier post there has been an increase in the electric and water charges. Inflation stands at 4.9% and it was voted unanimously to increase the Community Fees by 5%. At the moment the bank balance stands at 9,000 Euros and so an appeal was made to all owners to pay their fees if they haven't done so.
Neill Stacey has agreed to stand as President for this year and there have been two changes to the committee; namely the Vice President is now Mr Peter Whitehead and Mrs Mo Taunton has taken over as Secretary, these positions were approved unanimously. The two vocal members, Jackie Braim and Tom Connolley have been made committee members.
President: Neill Stacey
Vice President: Peter Whitehead
Secretary: Mo Taunton
Treasurer: Jean Titterton
Committee members:
S. Shaw
P. Olive
C. McCarthy

AGM Papers
It would appear that notification of an AGM has been called by the "Pretender President" to occur on the 27th September. After careful scrutiny of this paperwork, the list of debtors is incorrect and irrelevent. I ask that all owners who have received this to ignore it. The result of the judgement by the courts earlier in the year will be passed around at the forth coming AGM called by the legally recognised President. There is only one President, Mr Neill Stacey and one committee, it is refreshing to see that some of the owners that were co-erced into paying their fees into the Cam bank have now started paying into the recognised Misol account, Banco Popular. Your continued support is fully appreciated.

Latest TV News
There have been recent reports in the local press with regards to Telemicro promising to be back up and running by the end of the month. Last week several channels were restored but considering all of their transmitters were dismantled by the Guardia Civil, this appears to be a mystery. Yesterday the customers of Telemicro found themselves without TV again as it was taken off once more. The future for Telemicro looks pretty bleak.
Future Postings
Because of the recent demise of Telemicro, I have been inundated with work and have asked a representative to take over reporting on this blog. Any items will be passed on by myself but the actual writing will be taken over by my representative.
Another Bank account
Last week it was discovered that another bank account had been opened in the name of Mi-Sol Community of Owners. The discovery was made after Caja Rural sent a bank slip to Communidad de Propietarios Mi-Sol Park. The letter was taken to APYME with the libro de actas who in turn went to the afore mentioned bank and subsequently the account has been frozen. It would appear that the unscrupulous are still taking money from owners even though there are notices in the office in Spanish and English advising that all monies should be paid into Banco Popular, the only recognised account for Mi-Sol.

APYME
I refer you to the item in the last committee minutes dated 2nd September, APYME's reply after studying the statutes and the libros de actas (1981).
THIS IS WHAT WE UNDERSTAND OF YOUR STATUTES:
POINT 30: MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MUST OF NECESSITY BE OWNERS AND THEIR APPOINTMENT SHALL BE FOR A MAXIMUM TERM OF ONE YEAR, AND THEY MAY BE RE-ELECTED INDEFINATELY. IT IS TO BE PROPOSED AT THE 1981 AGM THAT THE MAXIMUM TERM OF APPOINTMENT BE CHANGED FROM ONE TO THREE YEARS.
That means the government board changes from one year to three years maximum and then can be elected indefinately.
BY WAY OF EXCEPTION, RENEWAL OF THE FIRST BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL TAKE PLACE IN THE YEAR OF ITS APPOINTMENT ONLY WITH THE REGARD TO THE VICE PRESIDENT, TREASURER AND MEMBER NO. 1 AT THE ORDINARY OR EXTRAORDINARY MEETING TO BE HELD ONCE A YEAR HAS PASSED FROM THEIR APPOINTMENT.
That means after one year Vice President, Treasurer and member no.1 can be changed.
THE FIRST RENEWAL OF POSITIONS OF PRESIDENT, SECRETARY AND MEMBER NO. 2 SHALL TAKE PLACE AT THE ORDINARY OR EXTRAORDINARY MEETING HELD IN THE YEAR FOLLOWING THE PRECEDING RENEWAL.
That means after two years President, Secretary and member No. 2 can be changed.
The capital print is as it was sent to me and it would therefore appear that I shall be standing for another year and would appreciate your continuing support.

Minutes of Committee meeting 2nd September 2008
Present: N. Stacey, S. Shaw, P. Whitehead, L. Jiminez, C. McCarthy, L. Foley, J. Braim, APYME
Absent: P. Olive, J. Titterton, T. Connelly
Minutes of the last meeting were passed around for reading.
Bank Statement: 12,389.02 Euros.
The swimming pool has experienced some teething problems; apparently a new valve was required and has now been fitted. Unfortunately there seems to have been a breakdown in communication between contractors and maintenance resulting in no maintenance being carried out since the opening. It will therefore be necessary to close the pool temporarily for cleaning. A notice will be posted on the gate of the pool to this effect.
Neill has received a letter from the President of Parque Naciones complaining about the foliage growing through Mi-Sol boundary onto their footpath, after inspection it would appear that the complaint is well founded and a letter will be written in reply from APYME stating that the matter will be dealt with.
Neill stated that due to circumstances beyond his control he will be unable to stand as President at the AGM in 3 weeks time. The response from APYME was that it will be a pity if no name is put forward from the existing committee as it will open the door for the other side to step in and quite likely progress with the debtors and court cases will be disregarded. C McCarthy proposed standing and P Whitehead offered to be put forward as Vice President. Before any decision is reached, APYME will study the statutes and the libro de actas (1981) to ascertain if Neill can legally step down after 1 year. There will then be a private meeting between committee members to agree a decision.
D Olive remarked that there is still a Vice President and should take over should the President not be available, he was informed by APYME that the law states that if this is the case, the oldest serving member on the committee stands in.
S Shaw .. although letters have gone to UK with respect to the AGM residents have not received the paperwork. APYME to make copies and arrange distribution.
J Braim has been cleaning the swimming pool toilet receiving payment from B Morans, it was not agreed this payment should come out of Mi Sol funds. J Braim responded that she would not continue to clean these toilets.
