Legal Action Commences................

Bad Debts still increasing............

Bad Debts



The old bad debts are just not being collected as we are told by the previous President that Resortalia no longer has the contact details for the majority of individual owners. 

This is just not good enough and is why we insist on knowing how many cases are contactable and have been progressed through the courts. As usual, this information is not forthcoming!

2014 March News Feed.........

Overview 

EUCC
We are fast approaching the AGM's following the screw-ups of the EUCC EGM when the Sub Community Presidents were asked to vote on matters that they were never appointed for. Nevermind, we now have an AGM of the EUCC in March so that they can be formally appointed!

Madness or what?

And where are the official EGM minutes of the meeting and will they ever be published?


Debtors
All the president and Committee had to do over the last 12 months was to focus on collecting the debts instead they have managed to triple the debtors to 1 MILLION EUROs over the last 2 years!
Madness or what? 

EUCC EGM v AGM
EGM January 2014:




AGM proposals March 2014:

Debtors

So what has happened over the last 12 months? We stated the following issues some year ago and it is clear little or no progress has been made:

• The ever increasing level of debtors with insufficient reporting of summary case details and tracking. What was 350,000 euros of debtors 2 years ago is now 1 MILLION EUROS, a complete nightmare and still increasing.

• Over expenditure in the general community participation which is not shown in the sub community financial statements. Resortalia continue to send out meaningless financial information which is of no use to anyone.

• Potential changes to the statutes of the community without prior sub community approval. Continued drag and change of direction by the Committee without full explanations or information sharing. The proposed EUCC Statutes change is a clear example whereby the approved statutes have never been translated to all owners.

• Participation of all owners in the EUCC public areas and compliance with the EUCC Statutes. At least we have an AGM even though an EGM was held beforehand with SCPs that were never elected! Dont suppose the golf course will now start paying their community fees??????????

• Security of information and compliance with data protection regulations. None existent as usual

• Competitive tendering of all key contracts with service level agreements in place for performance monitoring. We now, so we are informed, have SLAs in the gardening contract although all owners have yet to see the SLA or even the contract!!!!!

• Appropriate realistic compensation and resolution to the building structure issues. We have an imposed settlement although PW have again not paid the first instalment. What a complete waste of time and clearly shows how out of their depth the Committee are. Still no repainting of the buildings 7 years after they were built!

• The water runoff issues to the sports area car park need to be resolved together with the removal of the floodlights. No progress yet again for another year!

• The workers compound needs to relocated as per the submitted Resort plans and replanted or screened off.
  No progress yet again for another year!

• The chemical risks identified within the resort require immediate actioning. More material concerns highlighted with yet no further progress!

• The eroding hills in front of the Sub Communities need to addressed ASAP especially in light of the recent earthquake.
  No progress yet again for another year!

• The sinking and cracking swimming pools. The cracks are still there and there is no money to fix the problems!

• The desert conditions in which the Resort is built needs to drive a sustainability plan on how we use less brought-in resources and assess alternatives such as LED lighting, solar energy and rain run-off capture. No progress yet again for another year!

So overall a complete disaster having spent yet another 3m euros within the resort and seen debtors rising to 1m.

It is as if we have given the Committee the keys to the "sweet shop" and they have fully enjoyed their time together. 

Now is the time to hold the Committee to account and to push the one key issue throughout the whole resort: 

 DEBTORS

What is the purpose of a Sub Community President?

It is now a number of years that we, as owners, have been  Sub Community Presidents and in all of that time we have never been asked to vote on any aspect of the community apart from the election of a phase president.  Another Sub Community President has also told us in five years he has never received any communications from his owners until recently. Other presidents have also clearly stated that they were appointed to the committee as no else volunteered and someone had to do it to make up the numbers although they would prefer not to be involved.

Some of the 9 out of 78 sub community presidents who make up the Committee believe that they are the only wise people who know best and accordingly the remaining 69 sub community presidents are never directly communicated too, never asked for their advice and opinions and never included in the voting process for the community.

This is probably fair enough on mundane matters however on new debtor’s policies, Resortalia retendering, lift contract and gardening contract renewals etc which are the direct responsibility of each sub community president, then this is uncalled for and should be challenged in the spirit of open and honest transparency.

However, any criticism of the "wise" 9 is just not acceptable and even when a sub community president raises an owner’s issue affecting the community, which they are fully entitled too either under the statutes or HPA, then they are banned from communicating this any further amongst fellow owners.

In conclusion, not really a democratic open and transparent process.
