The AGM for Manzana 3 is yet to be confirmed, although most likely to be July sometime. 

For exact information for AGM´s etc. for all Manzanas, contact the administrator on 0034 952602585.

Manzana 3 is none of my business but for any manzana it's important that an AGM is convened every year to agree a budget for the coming year as well as to establish how money was spent during the previous year - was there a surplus/deficit etc.  If your manzana is not holding an AGN you need to find out why.   If you pay community fees you have a right to know what they are being spent on.

thankyou for your reply, i have asked several times and been told the AGM will be in july, but no date booked. i find it incredible that now the 9th is here with no date. You have to book a hotel, i assume and this needs to be done inadvance so what's the problem with giving a decent notice of the meeting. last years meeting was a farce and i assume this will be to.

The administrator needs time to organize the accounts and paperwork and be needed to set budgets for the following year.  It is unlucky that your AGM is at peak holiday times!

As I was reminded by the Administrators when I was trying to find the date of the AGM for Manzana 5, by law they only have to give six days notice - never enough time to get there, especially if you are working.  To the best of my recollection by chasing them I got to know about a fortnight in advance before the letters hit our postboxes.

Hello,

If anyone is able to make the AGM for Manzana 3, would it be worthwhile suggesting as A.O.B. that a date in July is preset indefinately. Surely a date at the end of the month e.g. 31st July would give the necessary time for all audits/planning etc to be done.

Also the Don Carlos would always know in advance long term, this would avoid  the change of venue last year at the last minute due to a lack of meeting room at the Don Carlos. The move of date last year meant quite a few of us who would have been around for the original date of AGM had flown home. 

Pre setting the date long term would mean any of us who want to attend would know in advance and able to arrange a trip over to take this in.

Given the amount of foreign owners I do not think this is asking too much.

What does anyone else think?  Obviously I can't make it , which is annoying as I would really like to see one in action.

we fully agree with you ,we are going to miss the meeting. perhaps we should all email the president . Can anyone going to the meeting give a brief account on this site to keep us all informed. It took several months to get the minutes from last years meeting.

bets wishes everyone

We also cannot make the AGM but are signing the proxy form on the back of the invitation and have arranged for a friend, who lives in Spain, to attend on our behalf.  We will post any feedback here as soon as possible after the event.

This is the feedback we received from our friend who attended the AGM on our behalf.

1) Some people said they hadn't received the minutes of the last meeting and they are sending more copies to those who request.

2) In 2005 there were 63 debtors in blocks 1-5, in 2006 there were 214 debtors in blocks 1-7, in 2007 as at 30th June there were 129 debtors and there are now 102. There is more debt in block 7 as half have bought and half not. There are always more debtors in the first year of occupation. The community hasn't spent any money on recovery of debt as the arrangement with the lawyers is that debtors will be charged by the court when charged. 17 debtors have paid through lawyer proceedings and there are 34 cases pending. Everyone voted to proceed with the rest of the cases and settlement of debt.

Q. Who set the budget for electricity, it's very high and surely if the number of blocks are known it should be easy to assess the budget?

A. It's difficult to assess as some of the blocks joined half-way through the year and at different times. Someone is sabotaging the lighting. 100 low consumption light bulbs have been stolen. This is expensive. Someone is turning on the lights manually two hours before they are set to come on. We are trying to find out who is tampering with them. The timers and sensors work together, they can't be locked in a cupboard it's against the law. Maintenance men have to have access to them at all times.

Q. There is a leak in the pool in Block 3.

A. Small leak only and will be dealt with at the end of the summer.

Q. The gardens are not looking good. The plants die very quickly.

A. This will improve, it's a matter of finding out which is the best position for which plants in blocks 6 and 7 as they are new.

Q. We pay 14,700 for lifeguards and they won't let the children play ball in the pool, we have to go to another pool that hasn't got lifeguards. When I am there to supervise my children and there is no-one else in the pool this is unnecessary.

A. If a pool is over a certain size there has to be a lifeguard, it's the law. No ball games is a general rule in swimming pools.

Q. Block 6 and 7 gates are left open.

A. New locks are needed.

Fees. There is an 8% increase on last year. The actual increase is 4% allowing for 4% inflation. It represents 10 euros per month per apartment. One of the vice-presidents and the president had a meeting to try and reduce the budget. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas please let them know. You are all welcome to call into the office at any time to talk or review the accounts in full.

5 votes against proposed accounts.

3 owners have requested that all the blocks be split up for community purposes. None of these owners were at the meeting. A board member explained that this would be impractical as the blocks share communal areas and pools. It would also need to be agreed by 100% of the owners. It would also be more expensive.

Current board members and administrarors were re-elected for another year.

Next year the meeting will be held in the Hotel NH in Marbella as it is 600 euros less to hire the conference room. They will always try to hold the meeting in the same week each year but every board member has to attend so dates may change a little.

Q. 2 people complained about dogs in the pool area. Block 3 has someone with dangerous dogs. Block 7 has someone who walks there 2 dogs in the pool area and they eat the plants.

A. Report this to the police (Green Police) and administrators.

Q. Complaints about abandoned cars.

A. Community is aware of this and has reported it to the Town Hall.

Q. Can the post delivery be improved.

A. You can make your address shorter by writing it as La Reserva de Marbella M3 (Short for Manzana 3) 29604 Malaga (is your post code)

Q.One person said that he lives above parking gate Block 3 and it is noisy at night. Indoor plant boxes have no plants. Timer on lights go off in some areas when walking between areas. The glass recycle bin is missing.

A. All noted. There is a lack of bins at the Town Hall but they will try and get another one.

Thank you for mending access road into La Reserva.

Thank you for pest control of spiders.

Several owners complaining about cleaners. Someone will get quotes from other companies.

Q.Curb at the entrance to the community is a problem when cars are parked both sides making the road very narrow.

A. If you let the polcie know, the owners of apartments nearby will be asked not to park there.

Someone suggested having individual switches on lights to save money.

That was the end of the meeting 10.30pm.

To all owners of Manzana 4

I do not think that this information will ever come up on any of the meetings. so for your informartion:

When we bought the apartment 3 years ago, we paid a "plusvalia" of 1.600,00 Euros to Penarroya. Now after so long, the town hall has invoiced Penarroya for a "plusvalia" of 1.352,00 Euros instead. Should you wish to get the difference back, 248,00 Euros, you should go to Penarroya's Office and ask for it. The due day to paid the "plusvalia" was last 5th July.
