I was really surprised at the lack of content in the minutes. No record of any voting, who nominated who or how many votes were cast etc, how we ended up with two presidents? Which one is in charge, who has the last say on an issue. As the president is the person legally held accountable for the community how can there be two? I had hoped that some of these things would have become clear with the minutes being distributed but...So sorry to disagree Donna but comprehensive is one of the last words I would have used to describe the minutes. It most likely sounds like nit pickin but it's fine when everything is going well just wait till the 1st time there's a disagreement between our two presidents and one of them asks these questions to try and win a point. I just hope that everything continues to run smoothly or there could be an almighty mess and no clarity about who has the authority to take decisions or more importantly the responsibility for anything that goes wrong.

We were at Mirador last week and were told work was to begin on Monday to give all upstairs apartments and downstairs apartments which don't have a gateway to the street entryphone systems but to give all other downstairs apartments bells at their street gate. Don't quote me anyone, as it may be a case of chinese whispers and I could be mistaken. The other thing is that apparently the work has been expected to start before now so Monday could have come and gone without any change!

Thanks Carol, good to hear some feedback from someone who was able to be present at the meeting. I must confess that I'm still a bit confused by having two presidents, though I think it's a great idea that we have spanish nationals on board who will be able to converse fluently with town hall and who will have an appropriate cultural perspective if we have any issues. 
The Horizontal Property Act 49/1960 as amended by the Reform Act 8/1999 seems to suggest that there can only be one president and that s/he will "represent the community both in and out of court in all matters" Sect 13.3. 
I'm sure it's more complicated than that but also that all will become clear in the fullness of time. 
I was one of the individuals who thought there was unseemly haste in the formation of the committee but my fears, at least for the present, re budgets etc appear to have been unfounded. I still however think it would have been better, and we could have had more owners present, if we had been given more notice. Best wishes to everyone, Stuart.
