THE FIRST 15 THINGS THAT ARE ALREADY CHANGING IN OUR COMMUNITY MERIDIONAL’S TEAM Although all beginnings are usually complicated and sometimes slow, we believe that we can feel satisfied with the work done in these few months. Since the new presidency and Meridional began our work in Señorío de Aloha, we have all seen many improvements in our community.
Here is an account of what is already being done and achieved. We wanted to present it in 15 very clear points. Please pay attention to the savings figures and the other initiatives that are being taken for the present and future well-being of the community. And this has only just begun… After renegotiating with some suppliers, we have achieved a reduction in current expen - diture of about 3.000 euros per month. The following have been successfully renegotiated: lift maintenance, gardening, security and con- cierge services. An inspection of the buildings and the state of the fire-fighting systems has been carried out to assess for irregularities, what improvements are necessary and what their cost is. This is a very important issue because it concerns the safety and integrity and that of our homes. It should not take long to fix this issue. After an information and recovery campaign, we have managed to reduce the properties that were in debt by 35%. This has meant recovering an amount of debt close to 30,000 euros.
We are continuing with our recovery plan, and in this sense we are moving to the legal department to initiate legal action against those debtors who do not liaise with us. We are carrying out an audit of the accounts in order to know the economic reality of the community. The result of this audit will be in a report that will be taken to the next meeting where we will explain it in detail.
Our priority at the moment is to regularise cu- rrent payments with suppliers and thus gua - rantee services. When we know the details of the audit, we will negotiate the payment of the inherited debts. Dear owners,
My name is Domingo Ariza and I am the Director at Meridional, the administration office that works for your community. I would like to start by thanking both the president and each of you for the trust you have placed in us. Señorío is proving to be challenging for us at Meridional, but we accept it with great responsibility and gusto. It makes us give the best of ourselves all the time. Both Meridional team and the president are united in our idea, and that is that all of us are focused to improve the community despite all the adverse circumstances that we are finding. We do believe that all the hard work over these past months is starting to pay off, which is the important part, but we also are finding that each time we clear hurdles it encourages us to keep on improving. In order to continue we are going to need all of you. Although we have reduced costs, optimised services and moved as many available resources as we can, we are going to need everyone´s efforts to face the deficits and debts inherited. We will be using all the methods possible to ensure the effort is as small as possible. In name of my team and I, we wish you a happy Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year. Enjoy the peace of mind, knowing that we are taking care of your properties in Spain.

With warm regards. There are many types of damage in garages. We have managed, at no cost to the community, to draw up a preliminary damage report. In this report we determine the causes of the damage and the solutions to be applied. It is also accom- panied by a repair estimate which we will have to assess at the next meeting. We are setting up a system of control and coor- dination of the maintenance personnel. With this system we are going to optimise the times and tasks so that they can be more effective in their work. The cleaning and disinfection of all the water tanks in the urbanisation has been carried out. This was a top priority for everyone´s health. This has to be done every year to ensure heal- thy water. In Meridional all incidents and client contacts are being attended to quickly and efficiently. The customer service department is trying to solve all the concerns or problems of the owners. We know that we can’t always give good news to the owners, but we always at- tend and try to help and solve any issues. We appreciate everyone’s patience and the colla- boration of many. The first thing that was done was to fix the pool lights in order to give back that beautiful illumination at night to the swimming area and the waterfalls, which had not been wor- king for years. Now everything is painted and on the move. We are asking for several quotes to be able to chimney sweep them as soon as possible. We ask you to be attentive this year and help San- ta Claus to come down the chimney. You can promise him that next year he will not run the risk of getting stuck. The community enjoys a fantastic price for fi- bre optics, but in order to enjoy this offer, we must agree with Avatel on the number of active accounts.
The fee for the whole service is monthly and the administration is in charge of managing each particular owner’s fee. For a long time this sys- tem had not been controlled, so the community often paid for homes that had not paid their individual fee. We have achieved a regulation of payments, recovering late fees and updating the list of active accounts to only pay for those that are up to date with their fees. So far, this is a summary of all the actions and initiatives that are being worked on in the com- munity. We are sure that we will soon return with good news. Meridional is currently supervising the cleaning of the urbanisation on a regular basis and is kee- ping track of it. The cleaning of many neglected areas has been improved, although there is still work to be done. As soon as we arrived we removed the pool con- troller, as we coordinated this function between the lifeguard and the caretaker. This means a saving for the community of around 3,000 euros per month in the swim season. Both services are coordinated with administra- tion and we have daily control of the incidents and assistance. We will propose some changes for this servi- ce. In our opinion we are not working in the most efficient way. Therefore, we are going to establish a control over this service and a change of concept. We are sure that this sys- tem will save the community money as well as increase the efficiency of the cleaning service. The garden irrigation installation is mostly da- maged. Getting the installation back into ope- ration means making an investment. We are analysing some solutions that are being propo- sed to us to present them in the next meeting.
