Just Received from the association of Condado Alhama.
Unofficial or not they are clearly getting some results, which for one I am grateful for.
"On April 6th of 2009, as you know, the committee held two meetings of owners. Both were positive.
The first with the manager and some of our subcontractors.
The second with the president of Polaris.
Agreements reached at the first meeting
1. The election of officers and adoption of the budget for 2009, will be one general meeting to be held in Alhama de Murcia and will be as soon as possible.
2. Security has established a security protocol, because lately it left much to be desired.
Proposes a cut in the budget for security at about 120,000 € / year, leaving only a caretaker for gardens and orange groves.
The 2nd Guard come to serve only a few days (8 days per month and by surprise).
3. Gardening and cleaning are achieved cuts of € 50,296 and 40,368 of STV Ciscocompany without reducing services.
They continue, with both companies for a discount of 2 additional € 50,000, with a reduction in the maintenance of the ring.
4. 83520 administration cut without reducing services.
5. In liability insurance cut 9584 € / year.
6. In telecommunications, we have a 2nd budget, a cut in the maintenance service on the weekends that would save 150,000 €.
7. The fund reserves to take account of these cuts were reduced by € 92,000.
With all these spending cuts, the contributions of community will be smaller and will enter into force once approved the new budget revenue and expenditure, after the general meeting of incorporation of the community.
Requires the incorporation of the island and the forum, which will alter the weightings for the level 1, with a tendency to decrease.
Upon the establishment of the reserve fund, if that is not consumed in the performance for some unexpected big share fall next year by about 20%.
At the meeting with Polaris, its chairman told us:
1.-The forum opens in late July 2009 and will have a rice, an Irish pub and a pizzeria-Tratoria. In addition to a supermarket of 1,200 m.
The supermarket will become interim gym and bar Alhama County off the tennis courts will be retained.
Access to sports, will be from the summer, only for the exclusive use of residents.
2.-The golf driving range opened in August 2009
3.-The field with 18 holes, opened in November 2009.
4.-The home club, will be provisional, wood, similar to the Hacienda Riquelme, until you can do one of the features that this field requires. Future construction is yet to be determined.
5.-The telecommunications service will arrive in May.
Now we're trying to settle the issue by the administrator of the lighting in the road outside the garden and that is the general call as soon as possible to the April 25 or on May 2"
