MINUTES OF MEETING

1 º APPROVAL OF THE RECORD OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT.

The President welcomed everybody and complimented the excellent turnout.  He also apologised for the absence of sound amplification which should have been provided by the venue.

The meeting began.  Minutes of the previous A.G.M. were approved, no objections being received.  This was recorded and signed in the Book of Minutes, by the President, in accordance with the Law of Horizontal Property.

Mr. Stefan Pokroppa, President, presented a report/summary of the events in the Community during the Financial Year 04-05 as well as outlining various problems and achievements.   The full text of this report can be viewed on the web-site   – www.dreamhills.co.uk 

2º FINANCIAL REPORT – INCOME AND EXPENDITURE YEAR 2004-2005. DEBTORS AND ACTIONS.

A presentation of the Income and Expenditure for the year 04/05 was made by Ana Rosa and approved by the meeting. All paid invoices were available for inspection at the meeting. All cheque payments, it was advised, require the signatures of both the President and the Administrator.

The President introduced Mrs. Linda Sims, the co-ordinator for “La Casita”, who provided a report of the Income and Expenditure relating to the different activities organised.

The Financial Report for the year 2004/2005 was approved by the meeting.

4 º PROPOSALS AND DECISIONS

I. APPROVAL FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A GATE BETWEEN DREAM HILLS AND VIA PARK III

This particular gate, paid for by the relevant owners, has already been installed in the corridor between the urbanisation and VIA PARK 111. Formal approval was now being sought to regularise matters.

The installation was approved unanimously by the meeting.

A question was asked as to what the procedure was to approve certain works, new gates etc? Form of approval required depended on the type of works proposed and likely disruption. Approval would be required at an A.G.M. or an Extra Ordinary General Meeting with endorsement by the majority of the Meeting, by 3/5 ths of the meeting or by that outlined  in the Law of Horizontal Property 1999.

II. APPROVAL FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A CHAIN BETWEEN DREAM HILLS AND VIA PARK V

The placement of a chain on the private road was required because of its proximity to the new commercial centre.  It is anticipated that problems with parking, unloading etc., would arise if it was left open to the commercial centre users.  A robust debate followed and whereas the predicament of the local residents was fully appreciated, the closure of that particular road must not lead to increased traffic and problems on the other roads.   Owners on the road with the chain stated that they would not use other streets for access and egress.  It was stated that, should the system not prove satisfactory, the President be authorised to withdraw approval, after consulting with the Board.

The chain was approved by the majority of the meeting with two votes against.

III. PROPOSAL AND APPROVAL FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW GATE TO THE FIRST STREET IN DREAM HILLS OPPOSITE VIA PARK III

Gerry McIntyre addressed the meeting advising that the street was very dangerous with cars and motorbikes racing up and down at all times.   A gate was urgently needed to restrict dangerous traffic. The gate and installation would be paid for by the relevant residents.  Normal pedestrian traffic would not be restricted.

A lively debate followed with some objecting to the possibility that the gate would just move the problems to neighbouring streets.

The installation of the new gate was approved by a majority with four votes against. It was requested that the gate be a similar design and colour to the existing gate near VIA PARK III.

II. APPROVAL OF QUOTE FOR URBANISATION MAP AND STREET SIGNS.

It was proposed to purchase a map/plan of the Urbanisation for the lower entry to Dream Hills, together with 46 ceramic plates for the streets.

The total cost of this amounts to 3,944 € , a cost per dwelling of 5.96 €.

The expenditure was approved by the majority with 23 votes against

III. APPROVAL OF QUOTE FOR THE BASE/PLINTH OF THE MAP7PLAN AND INSTALLATION OF  THE STREET SIGNS.

A stone base was seen as the best solution offering rigidity and permanence. However other materials may have to be considered, bearing in mind possible impact from vehicles. Anticipated total cost of Base and placement of street signs is 3,000 € approx. 4.53 € per dwelling.

The quotation was approved by a majority with 23 votes against.

IV. OUTLINE PROPOSAL AND QUOTE FOR A THIRD SWIMMING POOL.

This topic was discussed briefly. A new pool could be placed on the land between the two existing pools.  However this would depend on the generosity and approval of Town Hall, who owned the land.  Construction costs would be at least 20,000 € – approx. 30.21 € per dwelling.

The meeting was advised that in this instance, a majority of 3/5th was required to proceed. However, the proposal was rejected unanimously.

V. PROPOSAL AND APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET FOR TWO POOL GUARDS FROM MID JUNE UNTIL END OF AUGUST (2 ½ MONTHS).

Similar to last year the provision of two pool guards for the summer period is proposed. These will be security guards, not life-guards. Their job will be to ensure that order is maintained and that the Pool Rules are observed. The cost is approx. Euro1,100 € per month for each pool.

This proposal was approved by the majority of the meeting , with 11 votes against.

VI. PROPOSAL TO GIVE POOL GUARDS AUTHORITY  TO DENY ACCESS TO POOL AREAS WITHOUT CONSULTING THE PRESIDENT.

There have been occasions when it has been necessary to expel people from the pool areas due to flagrant breaking of the pool rules.  However the President has not always been in the area to authorise the appropriate action.  It is therefore proposed that the Pool Guards have the authority to expel from or prohibit entry to the pools anybody who causes problems or behaves badly.

This proposal was approved unanimously.

VII. PROPOSAL AND APPROVAL OF NEW TIMETABLE FOR SWIMMING POOLS.

It was suggested that the pools be closed for two hours around lunchtime each day, during July and August.   This would allow the water to regenerate and provide time for the pool attendants to eat and rest.   However, others felt that this proposal kept the pool closed during a popular period.  After discussion three proposals were put to the meeting –    a) that the pools be closed between 13.00 and 15.00 daily,

                                   b) That the pools be closed between 14.00 and 16.00 daily,

                            and   c) That the pools remain open from 09.00 to 21.00 daily without closure.

Option c) was approved by the majority present, with 46 voting against, confirming that the pools would be opened from 09.00 to 21.00 daily.

VIII. PROPOSAL AND APPROVAL FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE POOL SHOWERS.

There have been many problems with the current showers.  The on/off key breaks frequently and  the showers are often left on, wasting water.   The proposed new showers incorporate push button operation, have four heads each and switch off automatically.  It is proposed to put one new shower in each pool, at a cost of EU1,300 plus installation each.

The proposal was approved by the majority with four votes against.

IX. PROPOSAL OF A POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT OF SWIPE CARD TECHNICIAN (Carlos Pulido).

During the year the President received a number of complaints from residents regarding the service.  Upon analysis, these appeared to arise from a misunderstanding that Mr. Pulido can alter swipe cards at Dream Hills, which is incorrect. Mr. Pulido can only alter or adjust cards at his place of business.  Cards belonging to delinquent debtors were also blocked and the President asked if there were any complaints from anybody at the meeting. There were none.

The proposal to retain Carlos Pulido as the swipe card technician was approved unanimously by the meeting.

X PROPOSAL AND APPROVAL FOR THE INSTALLATION OF 25 PLANTERS ON THE PAVEMENT IN THE HOUSES 400, SCHOOL ZONE (5000€).

A number of options were considered for this area, placing stone balls, planting palms etc. Flower planters were considered the best option as they were heavy, difficult to steal and easy to maintain. Placement would begin in the zone with most problems, continuing to other zones in successive years. Cost per dwelling would be 7.55 €.

The proposal was voted on and rejected by the majority of those present.

It was suggested that the residents request authorisation from the Town-Hall to take over the cleaning of the school zone and the area between the swimming pools in order to maintain the cleanliness and aesthetics of the Urbanisation. Also the committee was requested to approach the Town-Hall to ascertain if it would be possible to negotiate the purchase of the land in the school zone for the Urbanisation.

XI. PROPOSAL AND APPROVAL THAT RESPONSIBILITY FOR PRIVATE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS RELATING TO THE HOUSING BLOCKS BE SHARED BY THE RELEVANT HOUSES, UNBLOCKING COSTS TO BE SHARED BY THE SAID HOUSES.

There have been numerous problems with drain blockages during the year. This was often caused by carelessness. Diapers, garbage, broken tiles have been found blocking the drains.  It was generally found that holiday tenants were the worst offenders.  One suggestion was that a company be contracted to carry out periodic maintenance and emergency unblocking but this was discarded as it would be very costly.

It was proposed and approved by the majority of those present that each block would pay their unblocking charges as they arise. There were two votes against.

XII. PROPOSAL AND APPROVAL FOR TWO URBANISATION SECURITY GUARDS FOR THE MONTHS OF JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST.

As most security problems appear to arise in the summer months, the provision of  two security guards for the evenings was proposed.  The following quotations were received from a professional company with good references –

Option A.  Two guards to attend 23.00 to 06.00 daily, one on foot, the other on a motorcycle(!) costing, including I.V.A. 5,034.40 € in total for every month.

Option B.   One guard on a motorcycle to attend 23.00 to 06.00 daily, costing including I.V.A. Euro3,020.64 € in total for every month.

Option C.   The same as in Option B, but only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, costing, including I.V.A. Euro1,670.40 € in total for every month.  

Following discussion and after voting for the various Options, Option A (5,034.40 €) was approved by the majority of those present, eighteen voting against.

XIII. PROPOSAL AND APPROVAL OF 10 % OF LEGAL RESERVE FUND.

A proposal to increase the Reserve Fund to 10% of the budget was suggested. The existing charge of 5% was the minimum legal requirement. However as there were several new works and services approved for the coming year, it was decided to keep the Reserve Fund charge at 5% in an effort to keep the half-yearly maintenance charge down.

Consequently, no proposal was put forward.

5 º COMPILATION AND APPROVAL OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET OF INCOME AND EXPENDITURE FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 05-06

After studying anticipated expenditure for this financial year, together with allowances for the additional expenditure approved at the A.G.M., a budget for the Financial Year 05-06 of Euro117,873.28 was calculated. This equates to an annual charge per dwelling of Euro178.05 or Euro 89.02 for six months.

This budget was proposed and approved by a majority of those present, with ten votes against. 

The first half-yearly collection will be on June 1st 2005, for the sum of Euro 89.02 , for the period June 05-November05. The second collection will be made on December 1st 2005, for the period December 05 – May 06.

Interest at the rate of 1.5% per month will accrue on payments outstanding for more than one month.

6º ANY OTHER BUSINESS.

If residents have any ideas on how to improve the Urbanisation, they can either deposit them in the mailbox or present them at the Presidents’ surgeries. The President will re-commence the weekly surgeries but will hold them less frequently if they are not attended.

The notice boards which are next to the mailbox and outside “La Casita”, can be used for announcing community activities.

It was asked if RESIDENTS ONLY signs could be placed on the private streets. Some residents advised that they put the signs up themselves and invited those who wanted signs to do likewise. If signs were of the approved type and appropriate then there should not be a problem.

City Hall to be contacted relative to the land between the pools,  to see if it could be donated for community use.

To manage with Torrevisa, the use of lighting in the zone of works relating to DREAM HILLS 2.

Normal motorcycle traffic is not a problem. However, excessive speed and noise are and should be reported to the Local Police.

Some owners clean up after their pets foul the streets and sidewalks.  Others do not.

The problem has increased because dogs from other urbanisations are walked in Dream Hills.  If you see someone not “pooper-scooping” challenge them!

With no further matters arising, the meeting was closed at 19.45 hrs today, May  11th 2005.
