This circular is an official invitation to participate in the election, and if you are unable to vote, you can authorize (proxy) any one of your family member (over 18 years) to vote on behalf of you.

In case, if you are unable to contribute, then the decision would be taken with “on hand vote count”. Our Security is bringing the acknowledgement sheet, Please sign it as a token of acceptance.

The candidates are yet to be decided; interested people can volunteer by sending a mail to Kethanaenclave@gmail.com (or) contact our co-ordination committee.

As scheduled, we met at 10 PM and discussed our “Agenda” 1) Regularization 2) Forming an association.

Regularization:

Srini (BlockB) & Muthukrishnan (BlockB) has taken up the building valuation role. Srini is going to do this process officially and Muthukrishnan would do it privately. The tentative date of completion of this process would be this Saturday (17/11/2007). Upon completion, we would be in a position to calculate our percentage of violation. As per Sakrama ‘2007 article we are going to file our papers to BBMP through our association within 14th of December 2007.

Forming an association:

We are going to have our “General Body election” this Sunday by 11 AM. A break up circular would be sent out shortly along with “Acceptance Signature sheet”. Initially we are not going to register it; we are just electing a “President”, “Secretary” & a “Treasurer”, based upon their involvement, performance & acceptance we would take a decision collectively about registration/re-election & registration.

Note: Those who are unable to attend the meeting, please post your valuable inputs.

Thanks,

Some updates from Harsha Pride

Hello Kethanites,

I checked with one of my friends from Harsha Pride abt formation of association.Here are few issues I got to know from them:

For forming association they collected Rs 2500 per flat and their maintenance is to the tune of Rs. 2000 per month as they are facing water shortage.

They will be getting the Occupancy certificate but they are not sure if it is builder who would be giving or the state govt.

Regularization might be difficult for them as for one of the block the construction is still on progress.

They have a yahoo group with name harsha pride and more information can be gathered from there.

More information would be updated on the issues we discussed yesterday (12/11/07).

Ok Bye for now.

Vijay
G5-A

Attention!!!

Our Security guys would come with a CIRCULAR, Please co-operate.

We need money for forming an association and meet out our initial expenditure such as Lawyer fees, Architect fees, weekly cauvery water tanker cost and filing our papers for regularization of our building as well. So we need your intervention and co-opration.

Please note that our site would be blocked for unregistered users from now on...Only registered members can access it.

Thanks,

Hi Cauvery water team...

Let s know a convenient time we can meet to discuss and take forward the action items for Cauvery water availability to our flat

Update of Meeting with B V Reddy held on 06/11/2007

Hi Everybody,

Today B V Reddy was in town and he had organised a meeting and around 15 of us met him and was discussing on Building Regularisation issue with him. As usual intially he said that he cannot get the completion certificate nor apply for regularisation of deviation scheme which is kept open by the government of Karnataka till 15/12/2007. After having a long debate on the issue finally he started thinking with postivity and said that he will speak about the issue with the other neighbouring builders in Kaggadaspura and see how it can be taken forward and will revert back to us by 15/11/2007.

With respect to other issues like Leakage, Carpentry work, sealing of cable ducts, water logging in Staircase during rainy season will be taken care by Basavaraj and completed in due course.

We have also spoken to B V Reddy and said to him that he needs to take care of the Building Maintenance till this month-end.

Request all of you to list out the common problem with Basavaraj faced on your respective floors either directly or through the Maintenance Team representatives in each of the block and ensure that we address all the common problems and get the same solved to the possible extent.

One More Request to all the Residents of Kethana Enclave. Please go through the address book and find which neighbour has still not registered in the Blog and just speak to them and make them register so that all of them will get to know of whats happening in the Apartment and all common issues and can be addressed easily. Also incase your neighbour has not occupied the flat then request you to speak to Basavaraj and get their contact number so that we can reach them get them register in the Blog. This is really necessary because from next month onwards we need to take up the Building Maintenance Accounts and at that time if we do not have all the residents details in the address book it will be very difficult to reach them and get their share of the Maintenance dues on time.

Next Visit of B V Reddy is tentatively scheduled to be 15/11/2007.


So Lets join together see that we have all the Residents registered in the Blog and become united as "KETHANA FAMILY".

WISHING EVERYBODY A VERY HAPPY AND ENJOYABLE DEEPAVALLI.

Information regarding forming of association and violations

Hi All,

Today I had a small chat with one of my colleague (Treasurer, ITTINA, white field), he has similar experience like us. We had a small talk on registration of association and building violations. Thought of sharing the same with you all

Association

Its not mandatory that the association has to be registered (As per societies act), We can still form an association under the society act without getting it registered and have a bank account in the name of the association and conduct other activities. What we require is the Memorandum of Association ("MOA") , And we need to have one 'meeting resolution' which clearly defines who is what, like names of the office bearers, MoM of the meetings and a resolution passed to authorize one person to open the a/c and manage the financials of the association. We also need to identify a CA (chartered a/c to file returns)

Building violations

First thing we need to do is to get the approved building plan from BDA (may cost around Rs 50-100) and find out all the violations against current construction, And file a case against the owner in consumer court because it's cheaper. And if we find some bigger violations and if required we can also demolish those like our pent houses (Because no one has bought the pent houses yet it's easy to remove those violations if the owner is not agreed to regularize) , if this brings down our % of violations to less than 50% , then we could use the 'Sakarma scheme to regularizes the rest.

Teams would concentrate on their activities seriously and would update us periodically through meeting/by posting information on our blog. Car parking team is yet to identified, because the concern is only for few people and also which is not a priority item at this point of time. So we skipped it.

We took this decision collectively & haven’t scheduled our next meeting, but would meet at the earliest after getting confirmation from Legal team.

RE: Cauvery Water issue

As per schedule today (3/11/2007), we went to BWSSB department which is responsible for Cauvery water supply, located at Jeevan beema Nagar. Unfortunately we couldn’t meet the contact person Mr.Ramesh, but we met the other AE Mr. Murthy and got the number of Mr. Ramesh – 9845444051.

We discussed certain points with a “Work Inspector” Mr. Narashima Murthy & “Valve opener” Mr. Eswar Reddy & came to know that there is a problem with the pipeline from 19th Cross onwards. They scheduled for repair work by December it seems, so by December it would be fixed permanently.But, to confirm this we are going to call Mr. Ramesh on Monday. This is the update as of now on Cauvery issue.

Also we got to know about, how to book a Cauvery water tanker which carries 6000 liters of water. We have to pay 325/- in their Indra Nagar office and come and show the bill on our BWSSB office in Jeevan Bheema Nagar and for the first time we will have to direct the tanker by sitting along side with the him.

Cauvery Water issue

Today (3/11/2007) morning by 11 AM, we are going to meet Mr.Ramesh, Cauvery water department. Vijay, Basvaraj and Krishna are going, volunteers welcome!
