To,
The Executive Committee
Fortune Towers Owners Welfare Association
Fortune Towers, Madhapur, Hyderabad-81
Dear Sir(s),
Reg: Increase in Maintenance Subscription
Greetings! Any decision in a community has to be taken based on facts and figures, Consensus amongst members and respect for Majority Opinion.
Based on Facts and Figures I see no reason for increasing the Maintenance Subscription. The interest earned on Corpus Fund can definitely be utilised for Maintenance Expenses.
There is no consensus amongst the members because misrepresentation and lack of transparency from the EC. Even the statements sent by E-mail show different figures for Security Services and Housekeeping.
A simple exercise has unnecessarily been complicated by the E.C.
A simple confirmation from all the members could have been taken through their choice among three options by sending across one A4 size paper to them Viz.
a) To meet the Maintenance Expenses through the corpus Fund Interest and existing Maintenance Subscription-Yes or No
b) To raise the Maintenance Subscription from Rs. 1.50 to Rs.2.00 (Excluding the Electricity Charges)-Yes or No
c) To abide by whatever decision is taken by the Executive Committee
The E.C. could have revealed the Majority opinion and Consensus and taken the decision easily.
Kindly understand that the Members who willingly and Whole heartedly supported the EC’s decision to contribute Rs.100 Per Sq.Foot towards Corpus Fund in a period of just four Quarters why are they showing reluctance now for a mere Rs.6=00 per year?
It is because their trust has been belied, facts twisted and misrepresented and lack of transparency on the part of E.C. has led to suspicion.
Kindly note that the Function of the Executive Committee is to serve the Members and Maintain and Manage the Community. The E.C. is not here to override the Members but to abide by their Cause which is off course based on facts and practicality.
This is where our E.C. appears to be Faltering……
Instead of working for the Community it is creating it’s own Agenda which unfortunately is not in the right spirit.
If the E.C would have just followed the above simple exercise perhaps things would have been very different.
Further, The approach and zeal of aiming to just increase the corpus fund without resorting to a balanced mix of expenditure has resulted in this confusion and Commotion.
For Example- a Capital Expenditure of Rs.20 Lakhs (Approximately) on Cameras led to a maintenance of only Rs 2.00 Lakhs (Approximately) per Annum. This not only increased the amenities and value of our community but kept the maintenance cost low leading to balanced spending.
Without Cameras we would have been perhaps spending additional ten lakhs every year on Salaries for Security Personnel.
The Very fact that a Corpus Fund is created is to constantly utilize it to balance the Maintenance Expenses which is unfortunately not being done in our Community.
We see no Automation in the two major Expenses of Our Community namely Security and Housekeeping to reduce the maintenance costs.
Has the E.C ever undertaken any exercise to find alternates to the above massive expenses being made through a single vendor?
Or to conduct any time and motion studies to determine the actual method of securing our community with least expenditure on Salaries?
Even a simple exercise of buying a Cycle for Patrolling by Security Personnel would have, in my opinion, saved us a lot of Money on Maintenance Charges by reducing the number of Personnel Required.
In a nutshell, Instead of doing constructive activities much valuable time,effort and resources are being wasted on things which are also leading to a great divide and rift amongst the Community.
I think its time the E.C. sat down keeping Personal Likes, Dislikes,aspirations, Prejudices etc. and prioritize and work in unison keeping only the interests of the Members Paramount and what is more important for the community.
As far as the Resources are concerned they will always follow Trust, Transparency and a zeal to serve.
Thanks and Regards
Sunil A Hinduja
