COMMUNITY OF OWNERS "COLON 1"
HELD ON JANUARY 27, 2022
In
Playa
de
Las
Américas,
on
January
27th
,
2022,
at
3:30
p.m.
on
the
second
call,
since
there
was
not
enough
quorum
on
the
first
call,
the
Ordinary
General
Meeting
of
the
Community
of
Owners
"Colón
1"
was
held
in
the
garden
of
house
105
and convened by the president.
Owners present with voting rights:
Total present: 9/ 21.36%
Represented by the right to vote:
Total represented: 16/30.62%
Total quorum: 25/ 51.98%
The
President
welcomes
all
the
owners
and
thanks
them
for
coming
to
the
meeting.
He
informs
that
due
to
covid
it
has
not
been
possible
to
have
the
meeting
in
two
years
and
it
is
necessary
to
resume
having
them
to
be
able
to
make
decisions for the complex.

.
President´s report
The
president
informs
that
his
report
has
been
sent
to
all
the
owners
along
with
the
agenda.
He
gives
a
summary
of
it
and
thanks
the
committee
for
their
help
he
has
received
because,
without
them,
the
work
of
the
president
would
be
too
complicated.
He
comments
that
this
position
often
involves
making
difficult
decisions
that
do
not
please
everyone
because
we
have
three
types
of
owners
with
different
objectives
(resident,
owners
who
come
seasonally
and
those
who
rent),
but
the
general
good
for
the
community
is
always
sought.
He
informs
the
owners
that
this
year
it
has
been
decided
to
hold
the
meeting
in
one
of
the
gardens
of
the
community
to
respect
the
current
restrictions
with
covid-19.
He
also
wants
to
report
that
this
year
is
going
to
be
his
last
year
as
president
and
asks
the
owners
to
get involved now to be elected next year as president.

.
Reading and approval of the accounts for the financial year
2020-2021
.
The
administrator
comments
on
the
accounts
of
the
two
years
and
reports
on
the
good
economic
situation
of
the
community
due
to
the
low
debtor
situation.
Information is provided on the extraordinary works carried out.
After some comments, the 2020-2021 accounts are approved unanimously
.
1
.
Reading and approval of the budget 2022. Proposal to
increase Community fees by 2%.
It
is
reported
that
in
two
years
there
has
been
no
increase
in
fees
and
that
during
this
time
the
electricity
price
has
risen
and
we
also
want
to
raise
the
salary
of
the
community staff so the committee recommends a 2% increase as from March 2022.
Some
owners
comment
that
being
the
community
is
such
a
good
financial
situation
they
do
not
see
the
need
for
an
increase
in
fees,
and
it
is
commented
that
precisely to continue with the good economic situation it is necessary an increase in fees to face the rise in current expenses.
After several comments, the 2022 budget with a 2% quota increase is voted on and is approved by majority.
1
.
Proposal to continue with the current painting fund. Approval if it proceeds.
It
is
reported
that
in
the
last
meeting
it
was
agreed
to
continue
with
the
painting
fund
until
2025
to
be
able
to
continue
saving
and
be
able
to
paint
blocks
without
the
need
for
large
levies.
Now
it
is
being
thought
of
retouching
the
back
block.
Another
owner
suggests
continuing
with
the
painting
fund
indefinitely
until
the
owner's
meeting decides to stop. After several comments, it is voted on and
approved by a majority
to maintain the fund for painting indefinitely.
1
.
Election of the President, Committee. Proposal to reappoint our current Administrators.
The
president
opens
the
point
by
asking
if
there
are
any
candidates
for
some
of
the
positions,
and
he
also
comments
that
this
will
be
his
last
year
as
president.
There are no candidates, so the current committee is approved unanimously being as follows:
President:
Paul Kershaw
Vice President:
Tony Maggs
Vocals:
Harmut Schroeder, Jim McGroary and John Cardwell.
Administration Secretary: Abitbol Martos Sl (R. Abitbol)
Owners
are
asked
to
run
for
the
committee
this
year
if
they
want
to
be
president
next
year.
It
is
reported
that
if
there
are
no
volunteer
candidates,
next
year
the
president will be chosen by lottery.
1
.
Approval of debtor balances and legal actions to be taken.
The
administrator
comments
that
the
current
situation
in
relation
to
debtors
is
good
and
that
it
is
not
planned
to
take
anyone
to
court
because
there
are
small
balances and owners are complying with the agreements taken.
In
any
case,
it
is
clarified
that
in
the
event
of
any
unforeseen
event
with
debtors,
it
is
convenient
that
this
point
be
approved
in
case
it
is
necessary
to
take
any
to
court since it is a legal requirement.

.
Approval to open the pool on weekends and related costs.
The
administrator
and
the
president
open
the
point
by
commenting
on
the
great
controversy
that
has
occurred
during
the
last
year
and
a
half
for
the
closure
of
the
pool on weekends for not having staff that can comply with the cleaning regulations of Sanidad.
The
president
comments
on
the
costs
of
opening
the
pool
on
weekends,
since
due
to
the
current
situation
with
the
pandemic,
it
is
necessary
to
clean
it
in
the
morning
and
afternoon.
Several
owners
comment
that
in
many
complexes
the
pool
is
open
and
that
we
can
talk
to
Álvaro
who
could
surely
give
the
cheapest
cleaning service once a day in the morning on weekends.
After several comments it goes to vote to open the pool on weekends:
In favor of opening the pool:
29.83%
Against:
22.15%
It is approved by a majority to open the pool on weekends. We will talk to Álvaro first if he wants to come and do this service.
1
.
Approval for the pool refurbishment.
Costs and financing methods.
The
committee
comments
that
the
last
major
upgrade
that
has
been
done
in
the
pool
was
12
years
ago.
Now
the
grouting
is
bad,
the
tiles
fall
off
and
it
needs
a
big
repair.
The
gresite
tile
needs
a
lot
of
maintenance
since
every
4-5
years
you
have
to
rejoin
it
and
glue
the
tiles
that
have
fallen.
A
company
has
recommended
a
2mm
plastic
material
that
can
be
put
on
top
of
the
current
tile
and
give
us
a
10-year
warranty
without
maintenance
and
easy
repair
in
case
there
are
problems.
The
material
is
shown
which
is
a
plastic
liner
imitating
a
dark
blue
tile.
We
already
have
a
Europool
budget
to
place
this
material
of
€
33,000
which
would
be
the
maximum
cost
for
this
work
in
the
pool.
Two
more
budgets
have
been
requested
that
the
committee
has
to
receive.
We
have
been
informed
that
the
time
to
put
this
material and make the improvement is two weeks and we will try to make it before or after Easter.
It is unanimously agreed to do this work.
The financing of this project will be voted on later after point 10.

.
Proposal to charge owners for the cleaning of their dog fouling. Approval
The
committee
comments
that
on
several
occasions
it
has
been
notified
that
there
are
some
owners/tenants/guests
who
leave
the
fouling
of
their
pets
in
the
common
areas
and
do
not
pick
them
up.
It
is
reminded
that
it
is
the
owners
of
the
houses
who
are
responsible
for
the
behavior
of
the
people
who
are
inside
the
apartments.
Now
we
have
security
cameras,
and
we
can
see
where
the
person
with
a
dog
who
has
not
picked
up
the
fouling
is
staying.
That
is
why
it
is
proposed
that the owners of the apartment where these people stay be sanctioned with € 20.
It is
unanimously approved to sanction with € 20
to those properties where the owner of the dog is staying.
1
.
Approval to introduce a 3-4 year program to replace floor tiling to all public walkways within Colon 1.
The
president
and
the
vice
president
report
the
bad
situation
of
the
tiles
of
the
community,
they
are
in
many
cases
damaged,
and
in
several
shades
since
over
the
years
they
have
been
changed
by
sections,
this
time
it
is
intended
to
completely
renew
all
the
tiles.
This
year
the
two
stairs
have
been
changed
and
repaired.
It
is
wanted
in
a
period
of
3-4
years
to
change
all
the
internal
walkways
of
the
community.
We
want
to
buy
all
the
tiles
for
all
the
walkways
together
for
about
€
8,400
and pay about € 6,000 of labor to place them in 3-4 years.
It is voted unanimously to do this work of changing all the interior community walkways.
We
now
turn
to
the
financing
of
the
works
agreed
in
agenda
items
8
and
10.
We
have
a
maximum
cost
for
the
pool
of
€
33,000
and
for
the
corridors
of
€
14,400.
In
total
the
two
works
total
€
47,400.
The
committee
proposes
to
make
a
levy
of
€
12,000
to
do
these
two
jobs
and
the
rest
take
it
from
the
community
fund
of
the
community.
This
way
we
would
not
run
out
of
money,
and
we
would
have
enough
for
unforeseen
events.
This
levy
is
only
for
the
apartments.
It
is
proposed
that
it
is
done
in
a
year
to
be
invoiced
bimonthly
with
the
community
fees
from
March
2022.
An
owner
requests
that
the
levy
be
per
house
and
not
per
coefficient,
but
a
smaller apartment owner disagrees.
The levy of € 12,000 in a year, billed bimonthly as from March 2022, only to apartments per coefficient is approved by majority with one vote of 1.67% against.
Attached is a table of the amounts to be paid per apartment.
The
committee
comments
on
the
continuous
complaints
that
we
get
from
the
owners
of
parking
spaces
for
the
poor
state
of
the
floor.
That
is
why
it
is
proposed
that
the
owners
of
parking
spaces
make
a
levy
of
€
10,000
to
be
paid
in
4
years
to
create
a
fund
for
the
repair
of
the
floor.
Some
garage
owners
comment
that
this
levy
has
to
be
paid
by
all
the
owners,
but
they
are
told
that
the
garage
area
is
only
for
the
owners
of
parking
spaces.
An
owner
comments
that
she
does
not
want
to
wait
so
long
to
make
the
repair
and
proposes
that
the
levy
be
done
in
two
years.
This
point
is
only
for
garage
owners
and
in
this
meeting
there
are
12
spaces.
After
several comments, the two proposals are voted on:
Votes in favor of creating a garage fund for the renovation of the floor of €10,000 in two years: 7 votes
Votes in favor of creating a garage fund for the renovation of the floor of €10,000 in four years: 1 vote
Votes from owners who don't want to do anything in garages:
5 votes
Therefore,
it
is
approved
by
a
majority
to
make
two
levies
for
a
total
amount
of
€
10,000
between
the
owners
of
the
garages
and
the
company
that
has
the
right
of
way
within
two
years
to
be
able
to
make
the
repair
of
the
floor.
The
amounts
per
parking
space
per
year
are
€179
to
be
invoiced
in
September
2022
and
March
2023.

Illegal tourist rental.
The
committee
reminds
those
present
that
tourist
rental
is
prohibited
in
the
community
and
that
only
apartment
207
can
provide
this
service
because
they
obtained
the license before its prohibition. The ban has been added to the statutes and inscribed in the property register.
The
owner
of
house
207
is
requested
to
send
a
copy
of
the
tourist
license
that
has
been
granted,
as
well
as
the
24-hour
emergency
number
that
any
holiday
home
is obliged to have.
The
representative
of
house
207
requests
that
the
apartment
is
charged
an
extra
20%
of
the
fees
for
tourist
rentals
and
informs
that
there
are
more
apartments
that
are
also
performing
this
service
illegally
and
are
not
charged.
She
is
informed
that
at
this
time
there
are
no
other
apartments
that
are
renting
touristically
that
can
be identified.
1
.
Any other business.
The
representative
of
house
208
formally
requests
that
the
point
of
placing
elevators
in
each
block
and
its
cost
and
levy
if
appropriate
be
put
in
the
agenda
of
the
next meeting. He says his father needed it to come, but now he can't, but it's a major improvement in this community.
The
owner
of
house
101
requests
the
possibility
of
putting
lampposts
with
solar
boxes
in
the
common
areas
be
studied.
He
is
told
that
the
ones
we
have
are
LED
and
there
are
not
so
many
lamps
in
the
community,
but
if
he
wants
to
present
a
study
to
the
committee,
he
can
do
it.
He
also
requests
that
the
community
replace
the
lamp that he gave from the corner of his garden and put a community lamp back on it.
Date of the next AGM: January 26 , 2023.
With no more points to deal with, the meeting closes at 6:30 p.m.
