The new President has started her own Blog the address is :-

There seems little point in having two Blogs duplicating the same information, and as I no longer have access to the bank account in order to publish Bank statements here, I have decided to stop posting on this Blog for the time being.

I would like to thank all of you for reading this Blog for the past 22 months, and would like to take the opportunity of wishing you all a very happy Christmas, and a healthy and fruitful New Year.

Meeting

On Tuesday afternoon of this week an informal meeting was held in Mi Sol Bar, the purpose was to give information to Owners about the previous Committee meeting held in the Office, and give an opportunity for Owners to ask questions, and voice their concerns to the new President and the Committee.

The meeting was well attended, the President and several Committee members were also there.

The questions and comments were varied, although much of it covered "old ground"
Some of the topics discussed were letters being sent to tenants in the flats informing them that the Community was not receiving any payments from their Landlady for water and electricity used, even though they were paying her.

Repairs to the street lights, although I had previously arranged for this work to be done, it had not so far been carried out. The contractor has been asked again to carry out this work as soon as possible.

A list of debtors to be posted in a prominent position, renewed every three months, keeping in mind the requirements of the Data Protection Laws.

Questions of security, and in particular reference to the gates at the entrance to Mi Sol. It was explained that they could not be put back into operation legally at the moment. One Owner expressed the view they were a waste of time.

Discussion about the acquisition of the N.I.E numbers required in order that Owners could register their Escrituras when these had been granted from the Mi Sol Blanket Escritura.
It was explained that at present we could not register these Escrituras with the Land Registry, and therefore not obtain a Catastral number so Suma could be paid. Until this position changes, any Escrituras passed from Mi Sol to Owners was not of any real importance.

The financial position was explained, and described as "dire" by the President, giving an explanation of amounts that need to be paid.

Being an informal gathering, no minutes were taken.

Small Correction

In the minutes of the last Committee meeting held in the Office it states the monthly amount due to the Pool contractors is Euro 2500, in fact the amount is Euro 2,000 made up of Euro 1500 monthly repayment and Euro 500 monthly charge for maintaining the pool.

Although we now have a new President, I still remain a full member of the Committee, having only relinquished the responsibilities of the Presidency. A new Governing body of President and Committee has to be elected at the next AGM in September 2009.

Mo has done a good job of keeping this Web log going for the last few months, however it is difficult to be objective as the President when writing these posts, therefore we are now reverting back to the original format, and I will be writing all the Posts in future.
