Item 5) Matters Arising:
Chair said it has been brought to his attention that it may be
against the Articles of the CRA that a member of the committee
holds two posts concurrently. Mary pointed out that where the
Articles clearly state that the Chair may not hold another position,
it is not her understanding that the same applies to other members.
As this situation has only arisen due to the long standing lack
of committee members, and Brian only volunteered to act as Treasurer
in the short term, it was decided to ask for a volunteer for the
post of Treasurer at the next committee meeting when all the members
will be present.
Deferred
to the next meeting.
Mary
suggested that the Articles of the Constitution be published in
the Courier and on the Web site for the benefit of those interested.
To be arranged with Rod Sawyer.
The
lead page of the Website also needs to be updated.
To be arranged with Rod Sawyer.
Irache
Merino: The decision taken to remove Irache from the committee
has been reversed, Chair advising that there is nothing in the
Constitution which allows it.
Irache will therefore remain on the committee and be kept up to
date in her absence.
Chair has written to her to that effect.
It has been agreed with Cllr. Galvez that two other members of
the committee will attend with Brian at their meetings. Chair
suggested that all members meet with Cllr. Galvez in rotation
in order to build a rapport with the Cllr. and the Ayuntamiento.
Greg and Ken have offered to attend the next meeting.
Statement
of Intent: Carried forward to next meeting.
Report
in English: Chair was asked for any news on progress from Joaquín.
He replied that Joaquín had said the end of September,
and he will be chased then for the English translation.
Expenses:
Greg is to raise a pro-forma expenses sheet.
Turistico:
It was agreed a lobby of turistico affected owners be done to
measure interest in a fund for specific legal action on the issue.
The
reported change of designation of houses on Country Club has been
confirmed by Cllr. Galvez, but it was conditional on an agreement
made with the developer that the designation of a block of as
yet unbuilt houses be changed from Residential to Turistico.
Off-road
areas for rubbish and re-cycling bins:
See attached minutes of meeting with Cllr. Galvez.
Contact
with A Homeowners Committee: Chair read out the letter he has
written for the approval of the committee. All present agreed
with the content.
Letter to be sent a.s.a.p.
Action:
Chairman.
Item
6) Next Meeting with Masa: Chair advise the Committee of the Agenda
which has been sent to Daniel in advance of the meeting.
Item
7) Agenda for next meeting with Cllr. Galvez:
To the requests for updates will be added;
Several businesses on B Commercial wish to place plant pots with
trees and/or flowers within the precinct if there is no Council
objection.
An request for Commercial standard waste bins in the same area
as those existing are not strong enough for heavy use and are
damaged.
Item 8) Sunday Boot Sale: In the absence of Raithnet who started
the petition, Greg reported that more than 600 signatures have
been collected, a difficulty being that many people don’t
carry their NIE numbers with them which are needed on the petition
or there would be more. Ken pointed out that Cañadas now
have a boot every Sunday which raises concern about the success
of one on Camposol. Chair reminded that the wish for one here
is as much for the social aspect, and the bars are in favour for
business reasons.
Item
9) Survey: Completed questionnaires are still coming in from the
hand out with the Courier, and more have been handed out at the
CRA desk in the Post room now we are back in Rumours. They will
be collated at the end of this month and the results in the next
Courier.
That
a letter of thanks be sent to Rumours for allowing us to have
a desk there was
Proposed: Ken Richardson
Seconded: Brian Tokely Carried Unanimously
Action:
Chairman
Item
10) A.O.B.
Following the suggestion by a member at the A.G.M., it was proposed
that we advertise for poligono reps on the notice board in the
Post room and on the web-site.
Proposed: Joyce Stewart
Seconded: Greg Green Carried Unanimously
Action:
Greg to produce an item for the notice board.
That
being the end of business, the meeting closed at 3.15pm.
Next
meeting arranged for Tuesday 7th October at the Business Centre. |
