Survey Feedback
Questionnaire Survey: Results and Follow-up Actions
Following the GA decision in March 2009, the Questionnaire Survey was carried out in June 2009, results analysed in July 2009 and considered by the General Committee and results fed back to co-owners in October.
The response rate was high: some 63% of co-owners replied and the quality of data provided was good. This gives a sound basis for formulation and implementation of developments to meet co-owners’ needs.
Subjects addressed by GA with resulting co-owners’ satisfaction
Over recent years, issues of security, gardens, administrator and Wifi have been discussed by the GA. There is now strong satisfaction with these issues though the Wifi needs to be optimised in some locations.
Subjects addressed by GA where priority action is required
Co-owners feel that:
· Pool furniture should be replaced (23:9 in favour) with a mix of furniture
and no worse quality than existing.
· Better use should be made of the area on the ground floor in the
Reception (25:4 in favour). An upgraded gym (14) and a games area
(13) were requested.
· The TV system should be upgraded (25:8 in favour)
· Possibility of getting a health professional in the health club should be
investigated (14:15 against)
· A bigger and better play area for children should be investigated (noted
in comments)
Subjects addressed by GA where no action is required
· A majority (16:12) of co-owners feel that the pool should not be heated.
· Exactly half are interested in socialising more, indicating that about the
right level has been established.
From the above, therefore, the following are required:
· Urgent replacement of the pool furniture
· Improvement of the downstairs area for better gym and games area
facilities.
· Upgrade the TV system
· Consider getting a professional health club manager
· Consider a bigger / better children’s play area.
The Administrator has considered and costed each of the above which will be discussed under respective agenda items at the GA and financial implications discussed within the budget.

Feedback to the General Committee on the General Assembly Meeting of 27 March 2009
The 2008 Accounts were approved.
The insurance for the Condominium for 2009 was agreed as appropriate.
The GC working with the Administrator to reduce outstanding debts was endorsed. Action to recover outstanding debts has been taken by the VdP lawyer.
A small financial allowance for unforeseen maintenance eg drains and other infrastructure, was supported for inclusion in the annual budget.
The need for the Gardens’ Committee to prioritise the zones for development was supported. Detailed direction of Jardim Vista will be essential and the irrigation system should be improved.
The analysis of the TV provision options needs to be finalized with clear recommendations to the November GA Meeting. (There was a leaning towards the Lazer option). Implications on the WIFI should be included.
It was agreed that the TV and WIFI services etc should continue to be maintained to a high standard pending any further decisions.
The questionnaire on co-owners’ views was deemed important and results with implications should be submitted to the November GA meeting.
A regulation on use of the pool was circulated for discussion and agreement at the November GA meeting.
The possibility of convening one annual GA meeting (in March) was strongly supported in principle and a firm proposal was requested for the November 2009 GA meeting.
The next meeting of the GA will be Friday 20 November 2009 at 16.00 hrs at the Clubhouse
I would like to thank all members of the Committee, the Audit and the Gardens Committees for their excellent support and clear report which resulted in an efficient, focused and productive meeting.

AGM Decisions
Annual General Meeting of Co-owners at Vale dos Pinheiros on 21 November 2008
Summary of Decisions
Jardim Vista will be retained as the gardening contractor for 2009. It will make a plan for gardens improvement that will be agreed by the Gardens Committee. Some E9,000 will be dedicated to gardens’ improvement. The gardens contract budget for 2009 will fall by 1.38%. Regular meetings will be held to monitor maintenance and improvements.
The 2008 budget outcome is slightly less than the budget.
The 2009 budget is reduced by 10.9% compared to 2008.
The existing 10% annual contribution to the Reserve Fund is expected to be sufficient for maintenance and re-painting of the Condominium in 2012.
The playground swings will be upgraded to include a baby swing.
The investment projects for pool heating at shoulder periods and pool furniture will be deferred. Minimal Health Club improvement will be done within the planned budget. A questionnaire will be sent to all co-owners on their needs for the Health Club / Gym area and pool heating.
Ways to provide better TV channels / reception will be further urgently researched.
Security of the condominium will continue to be provided by Vigiquinta ‘driving through’ the condominium. Security will be kept under review.
Jacuzzis and similar installations are contrary to the Condominium Regulations and are prohibited on patios. The two co-owners with Jacuzzis will be formally notified.
VdP will become members of Aproquila so that we can be better informed and influence infrastructure developments in and around Quinta do Lago. Oscar will represent VdP at meetings etc.
Leon Fuller (VdP no. 41) and Ralph Sangster (VdP no. 20) have been elected to the General Assembly and General Committee respectively.
