Hi Misolites
This is my version of what happened at the Residents Meeting held on Tuesday 4th November.
John took the chair and asked Jackie to open the meeting with her concerns etc.
I can't remember how she started off, but she asked Kate if a question put to her regarding me was accurate or not.
Kate declined to answer the question and left the meeting.
The main concern everyone seemed to have is the fact that the Open forums had appeared to have been discontinued.
I think it was Neill who stood up and said there was going to be an open forum on the Tuesday after the committee meeting to be held on Thursday. Shelagh was asked if she could confirm this, and replied that on Saturday she had been told there were not going to be any more meetings until at least the new year. Jeff was then asked if he knew about this, to which he replied that he had been told a few days ago that there would be an open meeting.
Several people brought up the fact that under Pepe there wasn't any open forums. Although what that has to do with today's committee and the people that voted them on - I really don't know....answers by email please.
The question of the bar and the bar contract was brought up, Most people present seemed to think they should have some say in the predicted rent increases and any changes to the contract. There were a small amount of people who did not agree with this.
Derek brought of the fact that the president had told the people of 621 that it would cost 30,000 Euros to get the land registered. Someone else said that was private and between him and the president. Derek replied that as the matter had been brought up at a committee meeting it became public. Lynn said she heard Mick and Pepe talking, and then changed her mind to Mick had told her. As no-one could cobberate her story, and we have been told the opposite again by Mick, the whole thing became academic.
Neill stood up and said he wished to refute any rumours doing the rounds which said He and Amelia wanted to run the bar. Several people then said they had not heard the rumour. Another rumour going around is that Peter is going to run the bar, yet another rumour is that a manager is going to be put in to run the bar. The truth is no-one knows what is going to happen yet, as Bob has first refusal on the new bar contract.
I was accused of calling the meeting as I was desperate to get back on the committee, and that I needed to get a life as mine must be very sad if that was all I had to do.
I did not call the meeting and in fact knew nothing about it until the Sunday I arrived in Spain.
I am not desperate to get back on the committee, people have the right to vote however they wish.
What I do object to is the manipulation of the vote, and I would like to know if the 24 people who gave their proxy vote to the president knew it was going to be used to vote against me during a secret ballot.
Peter has stated that there were 112 votes capable of being used. This consisted of 63 people present holding 49 proxies between them. Each person was issued with a voting slip stating how many votes they had. This equals 63 voting papers....The president asked for her 24 voting slips to be split into 6 sheets with 4 votes on each. So you now have 63 + 6 voting slips. I have written confirmation from a member of the community that two people did not put their voting slips into the box. So now you have 63 + 6 - 2. How many others did not put their voting papers into the box?? How has Peter reached the number 66 as the amount of slips used. How can there be 112 votes used if 2 people did not vote.
This is what I would like answers to.
