Extraordinary General Meeting

Summary of changes to the Statues of Association

The Statues of Association explicitly state our registered address. We were using the address of our President in 2011, but as he no longer lives here Angie Dickinson has kindly allowed us to use the address of her school in future. When we submitted this change to the Registry of Associations, they rejected our Statutes, objecting to other wording in the Statutes that had been previously accepted and unchanged since 2011.

It seems that – despite plenty of statements to the contrary – the Statutes could be seen as defining us as a comunidad de propietarios , which we are clearly not. We have therefore had to get legal assistance to change the wording to remove the “confusion” and resubmit our application, when approved.

In addition, in order to avoid having to get approval from the Registry whenever there is any change of Representative, the Executive Committee has been redefined as President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Membership Secretary only. Nevertheless, all members of the Representative body (formally known as the Committee) still have an equal vote in the regular meetings during the year.

The sections of the Statutes that have been completely changed are Art 3 (address) and Art 4 (objects) and 5 (Activities), which have been changed on the advice of our legal advisor. The following text has been removed from Art 15 and will be considered part of our internal procedures.

original
Each manzana shall have 1 vote irrespective of the number of Committee members from that manzana.
At the end of January each year and before the AGM, each manzana should nominate its representative. Nominations will be open, i.e. any Full member is eligible provided that they satisfy the necessary requirements:
i) To be of full age.
ii) To be able to enjoy the full use of civil rights.
iii) Not to be subject to any of the grounds of disqualification established in the applicable laws.
In the event that there are two or more candidates, an election must take place before the Committee meeting prior to the AGM. Only members of their own manzana can vote. In the Committee meeting prior to the AGM, the Committee will elect President, Vice president, Treasurer, Secretary and Membership Secretary from the Committee members. These will be ratified at the AGM.

These changes need the approval of our members at the EGM that will be convened for this purpose on 1^st April.
