It was agreed that their official roles would then be, respectively, the cat program and translator of committee documents (French/Spanish/English) 3. Treasurer’s Report: a. Current Account: There is now only one account. b. 15 buzones currently unpaid for. Richard placing a chaser letter in the respective boxes. 5 boxes contain a stack of mail, suggesting that the owners are/have been absent for a long period of time. The other boxes are empty, suggesting possibly that the owners have departed the area. There are three instances of keys being returned and the deposit being repaid. 4. Secretary’s Report: a. There are currently 305 members. This represents a net change of 3 from the previous meeting- being 4 new and one departed, assumed deceased - (Wolfgang will send details of “deceased” member to Anne). Anne will update the official membership list accordingly b. A request had been received regarding the hiring of mail boxes by individuals who are located outside of the residential area covered by the Association. This is not permitted according to an arrangement/agreement with the Correos. Should committee members receive such requests, these should be forwarded to Richard. 5. Neighbourhood Watch and website. It was reported that there have been 4 recent break-ins. The committee again urges all members to remain watchful and to inform the Neighbourhood Watch – by mail - of details relating to the break-ins. 6. Instancias: An asphalt issue on Calle Canna has been reported twice. Wolfgang continues to chase the Ayuntamiento, who are “taking their time” in reacting. There are currently 10 open instancias, including the one that had been submitted twice. The oldest dates back to 2015! The subject of electricity boxes and electricity lines (overhanging branches) was raised again. Open electricity boxes are the responsibility of the owner; appropriate keys can be obtained from the ferreteria. Regarding overhanging branches on electricity lines – the responsibility for removing the branches lies with the owner if the lines are above/directly next to the owner’s property. The point was raised regarding waste material/basura on empty plots. Again it is the responsibility of the owner of the plot to mitigate any fire hazard by ensuring that rubbish is cleared. 7. Other points: a) Neighbourhood cats Currently too hot to continue the process of spading. Furthermore, several of the cats are in the process of having kittens so it had been decided to temporarily halt the spading process. There is still 100 Euro credit at the vets. b) Delayed AGM: Proposed date unchanged -namely Friday 26 November 2021, Covid regulations permitting. Members will be kept up to date. To be discussed/confirmed at next committee meeting. c) Summer party (Fiesta): It was noted that there was no official requirement to cancel/postpone the party on account of Covid. There exist, however, strong advisory notes regarding behavior at events. It was agreed that a note be sent to all attendees of the party outlining the safety measures that should be adhered to during the evening. This note would be drafted by PvO and prepared/sent by Mel and Anne - Spanish and English. Known procedure regarding food selection was repeated. Lottery gifts to be provided by golf club. There were 68 confirmed attendees, including 3 guests. 7.) Next Meeting 6th September – 11.30 – Golf and Country Club Meeting ended. 13.00 WvO – August 11 2021
