Dear Ketahnites,
I would like to share few important things which will effect us in immediate future.
We are spending following amount on maintanance
Electricity -- 15000/-
Water Tanker --- 12000/-
BWSSB -- 4000/-
Diesel -- 6000/-
Security -- 6000/-
Cleaning & sweeping -- 3500/-
Garbage disposal -- 600/-
Cleaning material -- 400/-
Phone charges -- 100/-
Miscellaneous -- 400/-
TOTAL ----- 48,0000/-
while our last month collection of maintanance money was 46,000/- so from last month we are on a deficit budget.This escalation is majorly because of Water tanker, Diesel which are becoming major challenges. Because the productivity of our borewells has come down drastically and we are forced to procure 2 tankers every day(each tanker costs 200/-) and this is likely to go up to 3-4 tankers from this month and will continue until monsoon arrives. And frequent power failure is resulting in over dependence on generator and hence escalation in diesel consumption.One more major issue is finding people for cleaning the premises. We have tried with lot of people but they are not sticking to the job, quoting reason of salary being low. We have offered uptil 1750/- per head which will cost us 3500/month for 2 blocks but until now nobody have taken up the job. We may be forced to pay 2000/- per head which will cost us 4000/- per month.
We have started using up our corpus funds because of the deficit. This is detrimental to our long term interest of having a emergency chest. As this is important to maintain,lift,bore well pump, generator, structure maintanance like painting etc. so, my request to everybody is that we will be forced to hike the collection from 700/per month to 1000/month. If not we will have to go for a water rationing which will be a big hinderance to our comfort. please note that our neighbouring apartments are collecting more than 1500/month. We will shortly announce the hike after association meeting. Request all of you to contribute suggestions towards improving facilities.

Regarding sweeping let us survey our neighbor's( association ) and if needed raise the amount otherwise all of us will need to pay more for medical ( Already if i am not wrong there seems to be lot's of mosquito breeding ).
ReplyDelete2. Since we have numbers and atleast have ideas about the monthly expenses. Let us convene a meeting to discuss the maintaince cost given the above mentioned problems, if needed raise the maintaince.
