Hacienda Riquelme Aug 2014 Newsletter

What a month:




  • The lakes have at last been refilled!




  • We have a new Resort President as Nigel stepped down due to the constant Committee infighting and back stapping.


  • Resortalia have also been removed as the debt collectors which with 1.2 million of debtors and rising is hardly surprising!




  • And the new president has clearly stated that he will not stand at next years AGM!


"By now you will probably have heard that I have taken over as Resort President. I never intended to ever do the role but have been persuaded to change my mind and have agreed to do it until the next AGM. This will provide continuity and allow time for someone else to be identified in time to take over at the next AGM."



  • This together with finally publishing the security and gardening SLA's clearly shows times are a changing at last!



Obviously the Committee should be congratulated for stepping up to the mark and representing ALL Owners in their  best interests however,  anyone that raises their heads into these elected positions really should be aware of the “dog eat dog” culture within Hacienda Riquelme.

If the Committee is doing is dong such a great job, then why are there so many key problems across the resort. Where is the detailed case summary information of which 1.2 million debtors are in court and the stages of the court proceedings? 
Where is the information of how many debtors are untraceable, the key issue as confirmed by the previous resort president?

If owners then question the Committee on these matters then they classed by the Committee as trouble makers and are then named and shamed amongst all the fellow owners.
And finally as the Committee represents all owners interests then they clearly need to be aware that fundamental issues will be raised as and when required. If the heat becomes to hot in the kitchen then they can always stand aside, as the issues, and owners with these issues, will not go away. 
The committee may change overtime however we will not be it 5, 10, 15 years or whatever we will still be around to show the true Hacienda Riquelme Culture and spirit.
