One of the the owners who has defaulted partial payment of Sinking Fund stated that they are willing to pay once the damages caused by the painting parties are addressed by the association. From the explanation of the owner and caretaker followed by the above discussion the owner agreed to look into the matter once again and clear the dues immediately. The same owner raised the issue with Electrical connection to the flat and caretaker clarified that the issue was pending with M/s. KSEB.

While discussing the minutes of meetings with the Builder's representative it was requested by Mr. Shaji Baby John that Mr.Balagopal would have been invited to better explain their position. The owners pressed for the need of the following to be addressed with high priority;

The general body decided that in the light of Builder's representative ready to fix grill for each window of the flat as a statutory requirement, it's the onus of the owner to make sure that they become compliant with the government rules. If no response is received from the owners, the Association shall consider that each owner is complying with the related rules.
