WHAT IS OUT FROM YOUR POCKET NOW

Dear RESIDENTS, 

From our recent discussion on Friday (13/03/2009), the below are some of the costs that you should know (kudos to Mohan for his effort in liaising with IOI). In case, if you want to veto the below and propose for new service providers, be our guest. However, do pls include you justifications for doing so: 

1) Security guards agency: 
RM3.80/person X 12 hours X 8 person X 30 days 
= approx RM 10,944/MONTH 

2)Landscaping service - Grass cutting once a month, soil loosening, weeding, clearing dead tree, watering and fertilising 
=RM1,200/MONTH 

3)Cleaning services 
=RM3,800/MONTH 

4)Pest control 
=RM250/MONTH 

5)Swimming Pool maintenance 
=RM900/MONTH 

6)Garbage Disposal
=RM900/MONTH 

Aggregating all the above together would put us to an ESTIMATED figure of RM17,994 being KNOWN costs. Bear in mind that we need to be prudent in spending our funds as there would be a few other anticipated significant costs that may or may not erode our current standing of our funds balance. Tentatively, there is no full disclosure to us yet of our AA's accounts until or unless the Joint Management Body(JMB) is established. Also, all service providers above have been contracted with AA for a year being most of them satisfying the contract in either June or July 2009. Subsequent to this period, all service provider contracts will be based on a MONTHly basis. This statement will need further research whether any flexibilities are allowed in prolonging the service period of each service provider's contract term as monthly contractual term would prove to be uneconomical to both money and time spent unless otherwise can be justified.
