The A.G.M. and the card access

The A.G.M. for the Owners' Association will be held on Sunday, 27th May 2007 at 10.00 a.m. This is our third A.G.M. It is usually difficult to get a quorum for an A.G.M. This is the usual case for other condos too. Most of the owners would only turn up if there is an issue which may affect them. Well, I think for Prima the hot issue will still be the card access. I don't know whether the protests are still going on or they have died down. Hopefully, members of the association would turn up to discuss the card access issue and to elect the new office bearers.

The installation of the card access and the CCTV have been completed. The company is doing some testing work before the official handover. The management is also making preparations to issue notices pertaining to procedures on the implementation of the card access to all the owners. I think the common question now is how many cards the residents will be getting for each unit. You can rest assured that you would be given sufficient number of cards unless you have a very large family. The last thing the management would want to do is to make it difficult for you to obtain the cards. As for the tenants, they cannot apply for the cards themselves. Their landlords would have to submit the applications for them. Alternatively, they can get an authorization letter from their landlord to apply for the cards. Since the tenants are not permanent residents here , it is advisable for the owners to impose a deposit before their tenants are given the cards because you have to purchase the cards if the tenants do not return the cards after they have moved. The management has also set a limit to the maximun number of cards you can apply for each unit. The big units would get more than the small units. Your applications must be submitted together with your photostat I.C. if you do not possess any resident cards.

The motorcyclists would be given cards too in order to free the security guards from taking care of them. The guards need to pay more attention to the CCTV. Your cards for the cars would also be merged with the cards to access the lift lobbies. In this way, you will be carrying only one card instead of two. I am really looking forward to the implementation of the card access. I also hope that it can prove the critics wrong.

Goodnight and have a nice day!
