2nd AGM, Vista Resident is boss!

the most special & significant thing abt the 2nd AGM is the Vista resident are given all the right to decide all the item brought up during the AGM, and, this should be the way the thing goes!

no longer management or JMB to give direction & residents just to follow, but this time residents are really the only boss for Vista condo; JMB & management's roles are to make sure that all the decisions made by residents will be carried out properly!

so, small decision like removing swimming pool grill, chopping tree, swim wear, or big ones like car sticker, new car park, service charge, all these decided by residents, we r encouraged to see many residents voice out their opinions on each item been discussed, i must say all the suggestion r constructive!

next thing to be happened, implementation of solution of various problem brought up during AGM, we can foresee tough challenge ahead, especially some defaulter will feel the pain to pay their outstanding fee, & residents who used to park their 2nd car in the compound may not allowed to do it anymore, etc...

but, we hv confident that when Vista residents are united, place common good above individual one, then our future will be bright, & we know that, it's happening now....we really can feel it during the AGM.

let's work together, making Vista a better place for living.

development concerning car park

we have painted the parking lot according to the existing arrangement, to our pleasant surprise, total is 280 lot! it's more than enough for our residents!

but why do we still have not enough parking lot? it's really sadden us when come to know that some residents who hv paid their service charge promptly still don't hv a permanent lot!

of course every resident know where is the problem, many vista residents do park 2 or more cars in the building compound, strangely some of them are holding 2 access card (touch n' go), & others are doing do the hand-scanning, just wave to the guard & the barrier will be opened!

this AGM we are going to deal with this! we must insist that every unit only will hv 1 car to be allowed to come in, with the condition that the service charge must be paid up to date! we wil suggest to use the car sticker & the guard will only allow cars with sticker to enter.

abt the guard, we will make sure that they will strictly follow this instruction, no sticker no entry, or else we will serve them notice of warning, if repeat again then we wil give them a boot!

we wil also like to surprise our resident abt 25 new lots....., the detail of the plan wil need u to come to AGM to find out.....see u there!

2nd AGM, pls do attend

2nd AGM is fixed on 27/5/09, 8pm at the Vista foyer, time really fly, it has been a year since we selected the JMB in the 1st AGM.

a lot of changes took place in the past 12 months, some of the significant 1 like changing the managing agent & other contractors...in fact we changed all the contractors! and right now we are monitoring their performance so pls do give us ur feedback too.

some of the other things are not as visual as these, but equally important, like repairing the water tanks & main pipes, generator, thorough cleaning of swimming pool, repainting the car park lot, replacing the capacitors in switch room, etc, in fact we plan to do more than this, but restricted by our financial position.

this coming AGM we will like to make few major decision together with the residents, especially the car park, there are some suggestions from the committee & residents of how to overcome parking lot shortage problem, let's discuss in d AGM & get the best option of that!

See ya.

Oops! some hiccups!

10 days after new vendors took over in various jobs, basically things are moving ok, but...but...but, got to admit that, some hiccups here & there, they r :

1) swimming pool : we didn't expect the chemical cleaning will take more than 10 days! vendor just told us that if weather is good & they can clean the pool according to their schedule, then it will be re-oponed on 13/5 instead of 15/5.

2) staircase lighting : some of the lights at the staircase at both J & K block are ON & OFF at the wrong timing, we are at the moment trying to check which timers are controlling these lights, the electrician from the old management seems not very keen to help us in this area, well, no problem, we just need few more days' time to get our own technical guy to find out.

3) cleaning : we forgot to tell the cleaners that they need to "wash" the rubbish rooms of every floor after they hv remove the rubbish, but after sitting down with their boss, we believe they r following the instruction now...

4) security : some residents r not too comfortable to see many peoples like to gather around the guard post, thought they r outsiders, actually these r our residents, 1 of them is our committee member whose overseeing the security, another 1 is K block resident who just like to help up there.

also, there may be some other things JMB r not aware of, so pls do inform us if know any of that.

thanks.

new beginning with new Vista vendors





Residents will notice some new faces at the management office, security post, even the cleaners, lift technicians, pest control, and very soon u also can see new electrician for the gen set & swimming pool maintenance, and perhaps the only one remain unchanged is the car barrier vendor, which we think the service still ok so far.

after 2 months of interview & JMB discussion, we hope we had gotten the right contractors for various area, but of course only time can tell if JMB had made the right decisions concerning these. So feel free to feedback to us if residents have discover any vendor not performing up to the mark!

the management office have extended the office hour to 9pm (Mon-Fri only) from May onward, hope this will bring convenient to resident for paying service charge & making maintenance request. we will be soon register a hotline (mobile #) for the building supervisor, so that residents can call him even without dropping by the office, pls wait for the announcement.

up to this point, we haven't got the decision for the swimming pool & gen set vendor, but it should be decided by latest 1st week of May'09, so pls bear with us at the moment if the swimming pool is a bit dirty.....
