I appreciate all the efforts on our behalf from all members of communities and entidad - however the entidad fees should not be within the authority of the president of a community.
The community is merely acting as a collection point for these fees, not a controller of them, and therefor I do not understand why the president should require a legal challenge to release them. This is merely a client account for onward payment!
There is a meeting planned for the entidad within the next couple of weeks, and i would respectfully request that there is an agenda item to change the collection method, so that these fees are paid direct to the entidad in future.
I am informed by an entidad member that this would also be of benefit to the community, such that if an individual does not pay, the council will chase them as a debtor, rather than the community having to pay on their behalf to avoid interest charges.
