MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT I am pleased to announce that this year we have a full management team, one that is working in harmony for and on behalf of the Community, each participating to achieve the best possible results in the operating of a smooth running complex. I am pleased to report, from the accounts 1st August-31st October 2008, that we have a small surplus. Two main areas of concern are the mainte- nance of the street lighting and legal fees. The legal fees are mainly due to the denuncia's ini- tiated personally by the previous President for building work carried out by three owners. Any denuncia may involve considerable legal expenses to the Community and it was consid- ered appropriate that under the circumstances it was not in the best interest of the Commu- nity to pursue the matter through the Courts. At the Board's first meeting it was decided to cease these denuncia's and recommend any disagreement between neighbours be resolved on a personal basis. However, it was found that denuncia's cannot be withdrawn and this has now resulted in one owner currently facing court proceedings in Arrecife with possibly the other two facing similar action. At this current moment we have no idea as to the extent of further costs that may be incurred by the Community as we are waiting for the outcome of the Judge's deliberations. Rest assured that every effort is being made to minimise any expenditure on this issue and bring this sad state of affairs and any other repercussions to a satisfactory conclusion. The street lighting expenditure is being care- fully monitored and ways of reducing these and other costs are being fully investigated. If savings can be made here, and a small surplus results, consideration may be made to im- provements in the gardens around the swim- ming pool area. Thanks to Rita at No. 91 and Brigitte at No. 75 who together have organised the now popular Tuesday night Boules game attracting many owners and guests. There is also a game on the first Sunday of each month at 11 a.m. which is then followed by a B.B.Q - the first of which was held in early November. It was well supported and declared a success by all who attended.

There have been a number of requests for building work, with owners and neighbours in- volved and the authorisation from the Ayun- tamiento. Each one has progressed, some al- ready completed, others on-going and some still to be done. The Board thank the owners for having confidence in them, in receiving help, guidance and achieving the end result they desire. In co-operation with Club Lanzarote we now have the garden areas between Phases 2 and 5, also between Phase 1 and 3 tidied and the sea front swept clean. The Board thank Club Lanzarote. The maintenance team work well in keeping all functions and installations operating efficiently. It will be appreci- ated if owners advise their guests to use the refuse areas provided at the entrance of each phase when disposing of un- wanted rubbish. Unfortunately some of this rubbish is, too often, put in the toilet and we find fouling of the sewage pumps, causing additional work and expense to the Community. I would like to thank Ian at No. 95 and Stuart |

Swimming Pool
Following the extensive repairs to the pool, involving new liners for both the pool and the compensation tank, we are continuously monitoring the water consumption and are pleased to report that no leaks have been detected. We would again draw your attention to the fact that there is no lifeguard at the pool and therefore children should always be accompanied by an adult. Also, no glass objects should be taken to the pool area. |

Patrimonial Tax (Wealth Tax)
The Patrimonial Tax has been abolished from 1st January 2008. This means for non-residents that from now on they will only be liable for "Renta" tax whether they let out their property or not. For owners who are not letting out their houses, the benefit of the use of your own property is assessed to 1.1% of the Cadastral value and the tax rate is 24%. The Cadastral values in the Municipality of Yaiza will be revised in 2009. This revaluation takes place every 10 years and we will inform you as soon as possible when the new values have been published. |
