It was noted that the buzones cleaners had been paid as had Paco Alcaraz. The next anticipated “large”outlay would be the in respect of the summer party. 3. Secretary’s Report: a. There are currently 312 members. 4. Neighbourhood Watch and website. NHW: the subject of cameras was raised again. Positioning them at the basura locations would be a good start, from which point one could attempt to position them in other strategic areas. It was noted that capturing images (eg. car number plates) with “public” cameras was legally possible. This is nor the case with privately installed cameras. It was lamented that still no progress had been made in convincing the authorities to become more active in respect of neighbourhood safety. It was suggested that the Association might want to consider engaging a lawyer to represent its interests. Ellis then proceeded to give a brief update on NHW activities in the period: fewer break-ins reported in the period since last reported meeting held at the Town Hall on 20th April with Juergen, Ellis, Jose Maria, Miguel,Armando, Maria Lavios in attendance. “Cameras” was the main topic of discussion - viz. –“break-in images from traffic cameras are admissible in court (nor from privately installed cameras).” Again suggested to install cameras at the basura pick-up locations (also admissible). A plan was shared whereby the location of 7 additional cameras should be installed. This plan has also been given to the Policia Local. It was reported that the Town Hall had already requested quotes for additional cameras. 5. Instancias: It was reported that the recent heavy rains had lead to numerous holes being created in some of the roads in our area. Ellis undertook to take fotos of the damage and forward to Wolfgang who would raise the appropriate instancia. Calle Azalea and Calle Rosa are current examples. A different issue ( street rubbish) has been particularly bad in San Cugat. Wolfgang is raising an instancia 6. Other points: a) Neighbourhood cats: Wolfgang requested a list be provided of the cats that already been spayed. It was noted that Euro 100 was still available from the original budget and that it would seem sensible to request a further budget of Euro 500. This would need to be agreed at the next AGM as well as questions regarding the following: a. Should the Association undertake to finance the cost of curing/caring for – or euthanizing a sick cat? b. What is the maximum annual budget for the euthanasia program? c. Should food be included in the budget? d. Maybe some members might wish to make a financial contribution to the program? b) “Meet the Neighbour”. Nothing to report c) 2022 Summer party July 1st 2022: brief pre-planning; it was noted that final details (menu, music etc) were still to be finalised. At this juncture the following was agreed/discussed: 19.30 start. Jacaranda restaurant. Welcome glass of cava for each attendee. Tapas, followed by dinner. 35 Euro per head, to include ½ bottle of wine and ½ litre of water. Format of musical entertainment was discussed – no final decision taken, other than that the proposal to have Flamenco music/dancers performing at some stage during the evening (Euro 300 to 400), in addition to the cost providing dancing music ( Euro 300 to 370) was deemed to be too costly. Angela, Rudi, Miguel and Pascal would “source” lottery presents. Postscript: subsequent to the meeting, the President and Treasurer agreed on both music format (no flamenco), menu format as well as price for guests. These details to be communicated at next meeting. 7) Next Meeting 06 June 2022 – 11.30 – Golf and Country Club Meeting ended. 13.30 WvO – May25th 2022
