polaris world spain uncovered - the truth.....

All PM4 owners should have received thier info pack regarding the AGM. I have looked at mine and have several queries regarding the budget.  

e.g 12,000 for repairs  - what was this for , I was told that Interlarken were picking up the costs for the pool repair last November, there was some structural problems and I do not think this should be paid by the community. Whilst I was at CDS in feb structural supports were being put in around the pool /toilet area to provide extra support.  - this must be paid by Interlerken not the community.

We need to advise Ammex of any additional items we want to discuss at the AGM so it can be included in the agenda. Please therefore fpost any items you would like included to be bought up . You can contact Amex direct but I think it would be good to share concens before the meeting as well.

Item for the agenda so far

So far 1. Budgets - do we sign it off as this will be expected  - I think we need to query payment of some of the costs.

2.  Swimmingpool opening times for the comming year - I would like to see the times extended budget allowing

3 Life guards  - expectations  - why do they disappear during th day etc .

4. Security on site and overall development. PM2 are being very proactive regarding the long term goals for security and I think we need to be clear that all the PMs should be following and support as a whole . The security guards are totally ineffective really at present. Gated development is really the only way to go and PM2 president is meeting with Town hall to discuss this.

5. Cleaning  - reduced daily cleaning on PM4  - other PM have reduced thier cleaning and chanell the moneysavedinto the gardens.

6. Gardens  - Need to deceid a plan of action regarding the gardens and how much it is going to cost to bring them up to the standard we expected.

7. Do we consider taking legal action against builder ,Med lux hoomes etc against failure to deliver tropical luxury development.    

8. Porter activities - i have soem concerns over 'Martins' maintenance - I think he needs clear objective and task list because finding him sweeping the garage when ther could be so much more he could be doing is a waste of our money.

9. Rubbish bins  - at site entrance

10. Street lighting at night

 Please add to the listing for the agenda.

We have just returned from CDS, unfortunately will not be there for AGM on the 7th - Various issues have come to light regarding the site which will need to be discussed

Gardens - in our opinion the gardens have nor really improved since we were last there in May- the new gardening contractor has stated the irrigation system is not 'up to the job' . I have heard they have quoted to up-grade/replace the existing irrigation scheme at a cost of 150,000 euros - this equates to 300 euros per apartment - surely the original contractor should be made to put this right if it is not fit for purpose - the new contractor will always have a get out clause if plants die becasue they are not watered properly.

What are the thoughts of the new 'management team' of selective planting with maybe 4 or 5 plants in a flower bed with decorative gravel with a membrane? This would keep the cost down, make the beds look attractive and the little water we have for irrigation might keep thse plants alive? And it will look better than the weeds we have at present

We have heard as well the grass laid is totally the wrong style, even if the irrigation system was working correctly

Can someone find out from the gardening contractor what they think is wrong with the system - is it piped in-correctly? is the pipe size too small? are the nozzles incorrect - should there be more nozzles? or is the pump sizing in adequate

Ground floor apartments - terraced area - This may become a major issue with the people owning a ground floor apartment and what can and cannot be done regarding the usage - for our own information, do you have a ground floor apartment or first floor/penthouse?

Another thought - the very expensive post boxes we have all contributed to - where very few people have keys - the postal service will only deliver to one drop off point on a residential area - not to these communal post boxes scattered around - are these going to be surplus to requirements

I think for fridays meeting the main two issues are gardens and security - with a proper security hut and barrier - after all we were promised this initially   - along with many other things
