(A-8/8), late Masudul Hussion (A8/6) and late Gita Mukherjee (A-5/5) when the members stood in silence.

Being requested by the Chairman, the Secretary initiated discussion Agenda wise.
Agenda No: 01
Confirmation of the proceedings of the last Annual General Meeting held on 21.02.2010.
Secretary stated that the minutes of the last AGM was duly circulated. Members may deliberate on any point to be included or omitted. He read out one letter of Sri Kushal Roy (A-7/6) dated 26.02.2010 received in this connection and with the consent of all members, the minutes of the 14th AGM were modified to that extent.

Sri Pratul Roychowdhury (A-9/8) opined that for change of Membership the names of new members should be informed to other members.
The Chairman specially thanked all the members of the Technical Committee, Tender Committee and the Advisory Committee for their co-operation, help & guidance in running the Society.
Secretary stated that a network connection has been taken in the Society Office from Cable Operator for use of web site more regularly.
Mr.Pratul Roychowdhury wanted to know the reasons behind lower electricity bill in 2007-08 compared to its previous year when there is steady increase in other years.
Secretary stated that the matter was related to the period of earlier Board and the reasons will be looked into and made known to him.
In reply to Sri Roychowdhury’s enquiry in Attachment I at Secretary’s Report, Chairman
stated that the amounts shown in Bill paid during the year (column 6) depict only such amounts which are adjusted from CRES A/C. These consumptions are for running of pumps and street lights and do not reflect the entire electricity bill of the Society.
Sri Kushal Roy requested for taking some steps regarding regular traffic jam in front of Happy Nook and Ruby crossing.
Chairman replied that he took some initiative in this matter in the past. The matter will be further followed.
Secretary mentioned about the urgent need of cleaning of the outside drain of Happy Nook which is looked after by KMC. He stated that a concerted effort is necessary in this regard.

The Secretary’s Report after detailed deliberation was unanimously accepted which was proposed by Sri H.K.Dutta (A-9/7) and seconded by Sri Tarun Sarkar (A-8/12).

The Secretary initially explained the trend of increasing expenditure on various heads in the Society over the years due to ageing of the various assets.
Secretary stated that the Annual Maintenance Charge for 2011-12 has been proposed for Rs.2,500.00.
-3-
Sri Goutam Basu Thakur (A-1/2) told that the budget provisions for legal expenses, wages, gardening expenses etc. are justified. He said that there is also possibility of increase in legal expenses to defend cases against the Society. He, however, questioned on the necessity of increase in garbage removal expenses.
Secretary pointed out about the difficulties being presently faced regarding garbage disposal demanding more provision in this respect.
Sri Pratul Roychowdhury wanted to know the reasons for increase in budget provisions for Civil Repair & Maintenance, Plumbing & Fittings, Pump & Tubewell etc.
Secretary stated that being very old, rain water pipes, sewer pipes etc.require frequent replacement. Riser pipes, gate valves etc. for water supply also require changes at places quite often. Likewise, Pumps, Motor & Tubewell maintenance cost has been kept on higher side since all these are very old. These maintenance provisions have not been included in the project works being taken up in the Society.
Chairman stated that there is hardly any scope of reducing the expenditure further save & except on electricity consumption which may be less on completion of the new water supply network. However, the actual ground reality needs to be observed.
Secretary stated that an appeal has been made in the Notice Board requesting voluntary participation of one or two members from each block to oversee civil works in their respective blocks to be undertaken shortly by the Board. Unfortunately, excepting Shri Goutam Basu Thakur, nobody has shown any interest so far. He urged upon the members to come forward to ensure betterment of quality and speedy execution of the work.
The flowing members volunteered to oversee the repair works in their Blocks.

A-11 Shri P.K.Ghosh 11/10

Sri P.K.Guha Biswas ( A-5/3) desired that if detailing of the repair works is made known, members may also suggest some points.
Shri Basudev Paul (A-10/7) stated that a display Board may be put up containing the names of the residents / occupants in each block.
Secretary stated that names are already there in the letter boxes in each block. However, if the members so desire this may be considered.
Shri Samarjit Sen (A-10/2) also favoured the idea.
Shri P.B.Sinha (A-9/14) & Shri Goutam Basu Thakur however, opined that since hardly any change occurs in the occupancy status unlike Govt.Housing, this is not essential. Security guards can very well guide an outsider to his destination for this purpose.
Shri P.K.Ghosh (A-11 /10) suggested that a Block Layout Map may be displayed near the Front Entrance Gate.
Shri Tarun Sarkar (A-8/12) proposed that the existing PVC rain water pipes which are no longer manufactured should be replaced with modern versions.
Secretary answered that phase wise changes of such pipes will be undertaken in view of the cost factor. However, the symmetrical pattern of the buildings will be disturbed initially due to such gradual replacements.
Shri S.N.Roychowdhury (A-7/10) stated that Fixed Deposits should be suitably prematuredly withdrawn and reinvested due to enhancement of rates of interest in recent times.
Shri Debasis Das (Director) stated in detail about the changes being made in Fixed Deposits.

Agenda No.04
Annual Maintenance Charges on the Members for the year 2011-12

Shri Tarun sarkar suggested that annual maintenance charges may be staggered and at least it should be payable in six instalments.
Secretary & Shri Debasis Das (Director) stated that six instalments will cause inconvenience towards maintenance of accounts.
Shri Pratul Roychowdhury said that instalment should commence from May 2011 instead of April 2011.
After long deliberation, Shri Goutam Basu Thakur (A-1/2) proposed the Annual Maintenance Charges for the year 2011-12 placed before the house for acceptance which was seconded by Shri S.N.Roycowdhury (A-7/10) and the Resolution as below was carried unanimously: “Resolved that Annual Maintenance Charges of Rs. 2,500.00 for the year 2011-12 with effect from 01.04.2011 be paid by Members either one time within 31st August, 2011 or in two instalments of Rs. 1,500.00 by 31st August ,2011 & Rs. 1,000.00 by 30th November 2011 and interest @ 2% per month would be payable for delayed payment”.

Shri Basudev Paul (A-10/7) had earlier proposed in writing that these works be carried out in 2012-13 to obviate the financial hardship of the members during 2011-12 when other instalments are also payable.
Secretary read out the letter of Shri Basudev Paul.
Shri Sasti Ram Mondal (A-7/7) stated that false ceiling is not essential at this stage, though the asbestos roofing being very old needs replacement.
Shri Tarun Sarkar stated that aluminum sheets, being eco-friendly, are considered as replacement material for asbestos sheets.
Shri Goutam Basu Thakur stated that it is to be decided in principle whether any new construction could be made with Sinking Fund.
Shri Samarjit Sen stated that some four or five years back Sinking Fund was created. So, this is not a new concept. Now it is to be decided whether the renovation work should be carried out or not, keeping in mind that the Community Hall is being used by the community in general, individual residents occasionally and this is also 15 years old.
Shri G.B.Thakur stated that whether this fund can be considered as a mere development fund or a sinking fund is debatable.
Shri S.N.Roychowdhury stated that roads of Happy Nook also require repairing.

Agenda No:06
Appointment of Internal Auditor
Shri Dilip Kumar Mukhopadhyay (A-3/7) was proposed as Internal Auditor of the Society by the House.
