3. Partition walls and door on car parking space for a boat storage. This is expressly forbidden in Community Stat-

ute Article 6.

The garage spaces are limited by space and the partition of any one space will render access and parking by

others difficult or impossible. The space in question is a stand alone space behind the garage doors in block 4.

den bed between block 5 and the pool area for increased privacy. This request is made under Community Statute Article

1. Erection of wall and gate on Communal property on the Attico block 4 by owner of 4.A.A – Mr McKee.

has ignored many attempts to contact him and has offered a bribe through a third party to be allowed to keep it.

ment 2.0.D – owner Mr Smyth. This is in direct contravention of Community Statute Article 6 and is expressly

Tras dar la bienvenida y agradecer la asistencia, se pasa a debatir los diferentes puntos de este orden del día.

After giving the welcome and thanking for the attendance, the main items were discussed.

1. Bienvenida y informe del Presidente. Welcome and address by the President.

El Sr. Stallard toma la palabra y da lectura a su informe que se transcribe a continuación:

“ Good Morning and Welcome to the third General Meeting of Owners.

I would like to firstly introduce LES WILDGOOSE as Vice President, Regina van den Burger, our Community

secretary, and Manuel Bravo who is attending and I hope will receive your vote to become our new Administra-

tor. The first meeting had, I think 6 attendees.

Last year there were 30 owners with even more represented by proxy. This year is slightly more.

Last year was the first FULL YEAR of the Community with most of us new to the experience of Spanish Communi-

ty living and owning. The non-Spanish amongst us have been learning all about the Spanish way, although it

sometimes seems that we will never fully grasp it.

This includes why it takes so long to get the builder to do anything to correct his faults, to all the Spanish taxes

and forms.

From my perspective, as well as many of you, that has included wondering whether an Administrator ever does

anything to earn his fees as well as questioning the value of their qualifications in finance and administration and

the legal aspects of the Horizontal Property law.

When I became President last year I did not think that I would have to be Administrator but without the official

position, while someone else collected the fees. However, that hopefully is now behind us.

One of the most damaging elements of last year has been the finances. Whether the administration of Community

Charges or the recording of Income and Expense and availability of information, not to mention that our budget

was grossly inadequate - it all adds up to a scenario we do not want to repeat. Perhaps the most disappointing

thing about the budget is that everyone that you ask, who has experience in this area, says that the budget was

much too low. So, why did not we ?

Gardening and cleaning have suffered this year as a result of reducing costs. Alfonso has been performing basic

cleaning duties for some months now while we try to source a suitable cleaning company.

We have also been looking at other gardening companies to improve on the basic and creative skills of our cur-

rent gardeners, but competitive quotes are significantly higher than we currently pay.

Those who were present last year will want to forget the appearance and disappearance of the developer and then

President Dona Adele Doblare. A formidable lady. This lady complained that the gardeners wasted the huge sums

she committed to the gardens, but seemed unwilling or unable to do anything about correcting the situation. Un-

fortunately for us, there was no specification or plan for the garden to allow us to do anything about it. Rather

like the boast of superb sea views on the Rancho C advertising brochure, it does not constitute a contract.

Water, gardens and security seem to have been the 3 main topics throughout the year. Although I do not mind

helping present and non present owners whose apartments are being slowly or quickly filled with water, I do now

dread weekends in case there is a ring of my front door bell.

Security is important to people and we still have things to do to advise owners and visitors about simple measures

which they should be taking. We have initiated a search for someone to perform an independent security audit to

highlight how we can optimize security in the complex for owners and visitors.

We have had our successes this year. We have an excellent secretary who is conscientious, responsible, effective

and charming, and speaks nearly all the languages of owners. So I would like to thank Regina for all her work

and support in the year and trying to keep me sane from time to time.

The Newsletter is well appreciated by all and thank you to those who provide feedback. I would also like to thank

Charles Powell for producing the last edition and his interest in continuing in the role.

Les Wildgoose has been Vice President for the year and will be stepping down as he concentrates on a very im-

portant personal project in the coming year, Thanks Les for your support and guidance.”

2. Balance de las cuentas del ejercicio 2003/2004 anteriormente consideradas en la Asamblea General Extraordinaria de

18 de Junio de 2004.

El Sr. Stallard comenta los siguientes puntos en referencia alas cuentas del ejercicio 2003/4.

Balance of the accounts of year 2003/2004 previously considered in the Extraordinary General Assembly of 18 of June of

2004. Mr. Stallard commented the following points in reference to the accounts of year 2003/4.

1. The accounts were approved at the EGM on 18th June 2004.

2. The EGM was called for the express purpose of removing the Administrator whom we had trusted to create a budget

suitable for a complex such as this, but had demonstrated a number of shortcomings in the necessary transparency of

financial dealings as well as adequacy of the budget, and who had generally lost any credibility in being able to effective-

ly manage this Community.

3. In order to achieve this it was necessary for him to complete the accounts for the year, as it would have been impossi-

ble to get another Administrator to take over responsibility of accounts part way through and toward the end of the finan-

cial year.

4. I was not prepared to accept that this AGM could be productive were we to have dealt with this issue here rather than

at an EGM.

5. General Points:

1. The budget was fairly accurate for the following items:

Garage Maintenance, Administrator Charges, Community Insurance, Water Charges , Telephone Charges, Staff

Costs

Total 4% under spend = 6.2 % of overspend

2. The budget had no projections for the following:

Office Repairs, Lifeguard, Pool Analysis, Legal Fees, Financial Advisor (staff admin & salaries), Bank Charges,

Miscellaneous Other

In total approximately 12.120 Euros (7 % of budget or 37% of the overspend)

3. Budgeting Errors:

Quoted Garden contract (labour) incorrectly entered into Budget 27.147,84 instead of 33.464,40 - a error of

6.316,56 € Actual spend of 29.281,35 after reduction of service for 4 months to control costs (+ 8% or 6.5% of the

overspend)

4. Budgeting Inaccuracies:

General Repairs & Mtce budgeted at 8.000€ costs of 12.399€, (+5% or 13% of overspend) This included unbudget-

ed spend approved at the AGM for post boxes at 5k€. ( 15% of overspend)

Cleaning contract budgeted at 14.883,70 - actual costs of 19.484,59 ( +31 % or 14% of the overspend)

After a severe reduction in service from January to control costs. Run rate of 2k€ plus NA. Double budgeted rate.

Plants and garden materials budget of 7.000€, costs of 14.584€ (+108% or 23% of the overspend)

Electricity budget of 8.000 €, costs of 13.105€ (+64% or 16% of the overspend)

Office Materials (paper, mailings etc..) budget of 1.200€ , costs of 3.964€ (+230% Or 8.5% of overspend)

5. Well, we said that the first year was a little unknown territory. The major issues should have been foreseen by a

good Administrator.

3. Elección de cargos de l a Comunidad / Election of positions of the Community.

Después de un cambio de impresiones se eligen los siguientes cargos por unanimidad de los presentes y representados.

After a change of candidates the following positions of the represented presents were chosen unanimously :

deudores / Liquidation of balances of proprietors with debts and approval to undertake legal action against all those

indebted ones listed below:

El Sr. Bravo informa a los presentes de los pasos a seguir para la reclamación de las cuotas a los propietarios con deudas, y

quidación de estos saldos son los que se detallan a continuación:

mo ha evolucionado y ver si este es interesante para la comunidad, si molesta, etc..

Mr. Wildgoose presented the project of the construction of a bar in the garden below block 5 behind block 1.

This bar will be managed by a neighbour and after consulting with other communities the cost would be of ap-

8

proximately 10.000€ for the building and installations. The idea is to put it in place for a one year trial period

and to analyze the results and impact in the next Assembly and to see if this is of value to the community, if it

bothers owners , etc..

En este se servirían bebidas y comidas frías, y podría se un sitio ideal para las fiestas de comunidad. Seguiría las

normas de comunidad, en cuanto a ruidos y no tener vasos de cristal. Y su horario podría ser de 11:00h a 19:00h,

no tendría música.

The bar would serve drinks and cold meals, and would be an ideal site for the community celebrations. It would

follow the community norms, as far as noise and not to use glass for drinks. And its opening hours would be of

11:00h to 19:00h, and would not have music.

Este debería de cumplir las normas establecidas por el Ayuntamiento de mijas, en cuanto apertura y tener un se-

guro de responsabilidad civil.

It must fulfill the norms established by the City council of Mijas, as soon as opening and have an insurance of ci-

vil responsibility.

Después de un cambio de impresiones y el Sr. Bravo comenta que para la instalación de este es necesario unani-

midad, no solamente por la construcción de una estructura en una zona común y su cambio de uso, sino también

necesario unanimidad. después de esto el Sr. Presidente considera no conveniente someterlo a votación, pidiéndo-

se un dictamen de un abogado por escrito sobre este tema.

unanimous vote, because the construction of a structure in a common zone and its change of use, but also by the

change of use of a common zone by a zone of commercial operation. The President is obliged to accept only a

unanimous vote and so considered it inadvisable to put the proposal to the vote. The President committed to re-

questing an opinion of a lawyer in writing on this whole subject.

El Sr. Gary Hawkins contesta que el lo ha consultado con su abogado y le ha informado que no es necesaria la

Unanimidad.

Mr Vladimir Afanasiev proposed that the President should receive a salary for all the work that is done for the communi-

ty and owners. It was explained that a salary is not allowed but expenses for time and effort is admissable. It was unani-

mously agreed that the President should receive expenses for his/ her work in the form of Community Charges for the year

to be borne by the budget.

En este momento el Sr. Bravo toma la palabra y propone ??

Mr Bravo proposed the application of a discount system for paying the Community fees to encourage prompt payment,

applicable to those property owners who pay by direct debit or pay within 30 days following the Community fees payment

notice.

Mr. Bravo commented that there is a systematic delay in the payments of the community fees which represents a problem

as money is needed. As a consequence, it is proposed a discount system to encourage prompt payment which was ex-

plained as follows:

The existing community fees will have a surcharge of 25 % added which will enable any owner who pays on time (i.e.

within 30 days of the due date) to receive a discount of 20 % (thus returning the fees to their original value). Any owner

who does not pay within the 30 days will forfeit the discount.

After being discussed and voted, it is agreed unanimously that the proposal should be put into practice when the next fees

are due i.e. 1st September 2004. This means not only to apply 20% discount to the owners who pay within the 30 following

days to the collection of receipts, but to add an item to compensate that discount in the ordinary budget as well.
