A Reminder To All Residents About Pets

Today, about noon, we had a group of three ladies who went up to their unit in L12-22 with a dog in tow, in spite of being stopped by the security guard. The lady, who was leading the group, was apparently showing someone her unit and refused to comply. The Management later blocked her lift access card and she had to come to the management's office where she was sternly warned after she apologised for her action. She was warned that a repeat of the offence will result in a fine which will be determined by the Management. For other residents, please be aware that we will not issue a warning and a fine will immediately be levied on the offender. The pet or livestock will also be removed at the owner's expense.

Section 12.1 of our House Rules states "No livestock or animals whatsoever, with the exception of fishes in tanks, shall be allowed or kept in any part of e-Tiara. The Management reserves the right to remove any pet / livestock found with e-Tiara at the owner's expense."

AGM-6 2013

The new JMC has recently verified the minutes of our last Annual General Meeting held on 12 October 2013 in its first meeting on 16 November 2013. Owners can download the pdf copy of the minutes from this link Minutes of AGM-6 2013 or the link in the section of this blog entitled "Information for Owners and Residents".

Some pictures taken during the AGM:

Highlights of the meeting:

1.  Office bearers of the JMC who have served more than three consecutive terms / years will have to give way to new members.

2.  The developer has informed us that the strata titles will be ready by the end of 2013.

3.  There will be no increase in maintenance fees this year. If there is a shortfall then an EGM will be called.

4.  There is a suggestion to reduce the high cost of our electricity bill. One of the steps is to reduce the number of lights switched on in the car parks.

5.  Our STP cannot be connected to the Indah Water system as the existing sewer line does not cater for e-Tiara and our neighbours. We thus have to maintain the system on our own. In order to do this we have submitted the necessary documentation to obtain a permit from SPAN.

6.  Members are informed that blockages and leakages to internal piping within each apartment unit are the responsibility of the owner and not the management.

7.  Lift access cards which are illegally duplicated will be confiscated and there will be a charge of RM100 for the purchase of new cards subject to approval by the owner.

8. The existing six JMC parking bays will be reduced to three reserved for JMC members. The remaining three will be marked as visitors / JMC parking.

9. There are complaints about the security guards not doing their duties properly, such as not checking on people throwing rubbish, not stopping residents from making excessive noise and not checking on illegally parked cars. A representative of the security company will be asked to attend the next AGM to answer owners' queries.

10. There is a suggestion to install more CCTVs in key areas. This will be done when there are sufficient funds.

11. A new access card system will be installed on the gym door to prevent unauthorised access to the facility. The machines will be upgraded when there are sufficient funds.

RM300 Fine For Indiscriminate Throwing Away Of Rubbish

With immediate effect, due to the attitude of some residents who do not heed the warnings about the indiscriminate throwing away of rubbish onto common areas and air wells, there will be a RM300 fine levied on those residents who are caught committing this offence. There will also be a reward for anyone who can furnish well-supported evidence leading to the apprehending of these perpetrators. All terms and conditions leading to the apprehending of these perpetrators apply.

Indiscriminate Parking

Residents are reminded that their vehicles must be properly parked in designated areas and within the time limit set for visitor's parking. 

Vehicles will be clamped if the following occurs:

1. If vehicles do not display the visitor's pass prominently on the dashboard when parked in the visitor's bay.

2. If vehicles parked in the visitor's bay exceed the three hour limit set for visitor's parking.

3. If visitors park their cars in the visitor's bay on the pretext of visiting our retail units but go shopping in the complexes nearby or proceed downtown.

4. If residents park in the visitor's bay instead of their own designated bay in the upper levels without reserving the parking bay and paying a monthly rental.

5. If residents park in another resident's parking bay, including reserved parking bays.

6. Parking in non-designated parking areas.

Lately, there had been two cases of owners of clamped vehicles who forcefully removed and damaged the clamps and, thereafter, drove away with the clamps. The offender will have to pay RM100 for the initial offence of illegal parking and RM500 for theft and damage to e-Tiara's property. In such cases, the person is deemed to have stolen e-Tiara's property and a report to the police will be made. Legal action will be taken against the offender if he/she refuses to return the clamp.
