 [9/28, 21:25] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: The discarded garage belongs to T8. As they are not in residence and have not paid maintenance arrears since 2016, and from what I am told, the garages do not belong legally to anyone. They were allotted at random and there's controversy regarding them. Original land belongs to the builder Bharat Mori who was trying to build a private residence there. Members objected and the matter was settled in building favour. If anyone has legal rights, you need to show it. I think that we can allow T4 to use it temporarily till T8 can prove legal ownership. T4 has to first show legal ownership of his flat. I have seen his papers but they don't look complete. Once he submits all documents, we can meet with him to discuss other matters.

[9/28, 21:46] S7 Vera Ferrao Ganesh Apartments: Auriel, let's have a general meeting and discuss all the matters please 🥺

[9/28, 21:49] S5 Diego Saldanha Ganesh Apartments: 👍

[9/28, 22:03] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: Yes. I would like that very much. I will schedule it for 12 Oct at 7.30 pm. Please put a thumbs up so I can see how many are willing to attend. Accordingly I will send out the written notice.

[9/28, 22:04] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: Also, if its ok with all, can we have it at my place? It is very difficult to conduct a meeting standing up. I will arrange for the seating.

[9/29, 07:34] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: Agenda for SPECIAL GENERAL BODY MEETING (SGBM) to be held on 12 October 2025 at 7.30 pm sharp at Flat G5. 

POINTS OF AGENDA 

1) Water tank issues - cleaning and repairs.

2) Garage ownership and allocation issues.

3) Review of allocation of duties given  at AGBM 2025.  

4) AOB (any other business)

Please be present on time. If quorum of 50% not there, the meeting will be carried out at 8 pm with members present. If less than 25% present, the meeting will be postponed to 19 October 2025.

AOB: Please submit these points to be discussed 48 hours before the meeting. No AOB will be entertained at the meeting without prior notice.

[9/29, 07:34] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: This is the draft. If ok, I will make the notices to be put in the two wings.

[9/29, 13:19] T7 Aparajita Choudhary Ganesh Ganesh Apartments: Please donot proceed unilaterally.  Let there be a consensus about the date and time and place of the meeting.

[9/29, 13:22] T7 Aparajita Choudhary Ganesh Ganesh Apartments: Quorum has always been difficult and on earlier occasions members would first discuss personally when most people are free then fix the date . Even then we struggled with attendance.

[9/29, 13:24] T7 Aparajita Choudhary Ganesh Ganesh Apartments: Inspite of the rains holding meetings in a residence may not be a great idea as we know many members have mutual animosity, hence having a meeting in a neutral place is practiced. You can bring  your own stool and mosquito repellent 😃

[9/29, 13:46] S7 Vera Ferrao Ganesh Apartments: Very true 👍

[9/29, 13:49] S5 Diego Saldanha Ganesh Apartments: 👍

[9/29, 14:25] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: I am not. That's why I said draft. Members can share their dates and we'll work out a convenient one so we get maximum attendance. There should be 7 days notice for SGBMs and 14 days for AGBMs as per byelaws. That's why I sent the draft today.

[9/29, 14:28] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: Which garage can we use? Ground floor members could help with stools or chairs.

[9/29, 14:30] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: Please give dates so we can decide soon.

[9/29, 18:47] T7 Aparajita Choudhary Ganesh Ganesh Apartments: I don't see any response here

[9/29, 18:55] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: Exactly. So please suggest an alternative date(s), time(s), agenda points. I am not calling this meeting, Mrs Vera and Mr Diogo suggested it.

[9/29, 19:53] G3 Hansraj Ganesh Apartments: it is not possible to match everyone’s free time, the AGM date will be fixed in advance with a minimum of 14 days’ notice, and members are requested to adjust accordingly.

[9/29, 19:54] G3 Hansraj Ganesh Apartments: The secretary has already given 2 week notice

[9/29, 19:54] G3 Hansraj Ganesh Apartments: For AGM

[9/29, 19:56] G3 Hansraj Ganesh Apartments: Or 21 day notice

[9/29, 20:20] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: Sir, we do not have a working committee. I am only the treasurer but coordinating the activities. We do need a committee to be formed.

[9/29, 20:24] G3 Hansraj Ganesh Apartments: I am just saying that proper advance notice will be given for meetings, so that everyone has sufficient time to attend and participate.

Like you gave 12 oct that is 2 week advance

[9/29, 20:26] G3 Hansraj Ganesh Apartments: Add the point of committee to be formed

Nothing wrong you did😁

[9/29, 20:30] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: Will add as AOB.

So much drama on these chats when touchy topics are touched upon!
