1.0              SECURITY AND SAFETY

 

1.1       DT briefed the Committee on developments on Security matters since the last Meeting.  He informed the Meeting that there have been improvements on the day to day operations and that he noticed that increased efforts have been shown by both the Senior Management and the guards to meet the requirements of GCHA.  He is generally very happy with their performances and hope that they will keep up the good work.  He will continue to meet Group 4’s representatives every Monday, and highlights of their weekly meeting will be posted on the web for the information of Glenmarie Court residents.

 

1.2       With the above positive feedback from DT, HS inquired when Group 4 can start installation of perimeter static defense system.  Group 4 informed that they will have to replenish the stock as some of the equipment has been sold off.  However they will start preparation work on Monday, 10th January, at the bungalow area which is Phase I.  The installation of the static defense system for Phase I should be completed before Chinese New Year.  The complete installation should take one and a half months.

 

1.3              The Meeting was also informed that there were two attempted break-ins on 31st December and 2nd January.  The reports by Mr. Simon Teoh were circulated and the Committee deliberated on these two incidences.  CS suggested that two additional dogs and dog handlers should be deployed during the Chinese New Year (CNY) period as many residents will be away.  Group 4 will get back with their quotation.  HS also requested Group 4 to submit a quotation for a 3rd dog and dog handler.  Group 4 was reminded to be more vigilant before and during the CNY period.

 

1.4              HS would like Group 4 to submit a report on the number of comstruction workers (local and foreign) who enter Glenmarie Court everyday.  They should provide this at their weekly meeting with DT.

 

1.5              With regard to construction workers who do not have the relevant passes or documents to enter, ST was told to refuse entry and to bring this matter up with the individual contractors concerned, and not to confront the workers personally to avoid violence.

 

1.6              HS reminded Group 4 that they have not submitted a copy of their insurance renewal.  Mr. Michael Lim replied that they are waiting for the cover note from their Principal in UK.  Whilst waiting for their cover note, Group 4 has agreed to give a letter of undertaking to GCHA that the insurance policy is in force.

 

1.7              AI inquired whether the Kancil has been repaired and modified to ferry a guard dog on its daily rounds.  ST informed that the car has been repaired and modified accordingly.

 

1.8         Safety

 

1.81     The Committee was informed that there was a request to put road humps at the entrance and exit of Jalan U1/6C.  A road sign requesting drivers to slow down  when taking the corners will also be put up.  AI is requested to comply with the request.

 

1.82     It was also suggested that a notice be put up in the web to request residents to notify the Safety Committee if they should witness car or cars speeding through Glenmarie Court.


 

 

2.0              LANDSCAPE AND GENERAL MAINTENANCE

 

2.1       AF distributed a copy of the Landscape and General Maintenance Programme for January 2005.  For the interest of  those who did not attend the last meeting, Shan of AF again explained how the programme schedule works.  AF is to ensure that their programme is more spaced out and legible. 

 

2.2       AF informed the Committee that maintenance work – repair of road kerbs - have been completed in Zones B and C, and that they are now working in Zone A. Jute bags are now being used to cover repaired road kerbs to protect them from rain and strong sunlight.  All road kerbs should be completed by end of January, and road lines will be painted before Chinese New Year.

  

2.3       AI commented that AF has not been able to complete the daily sweeping work of the ring roads with one Hako Manual Sweeper.  AF has been requested to get other workers to assist in the sweeping job until the other two Hako Manual Sweepers arrive in early/mid February.

3.0              BUILDING AND INFRASTRUCTURE

 

3.1       Six pillar lights have been installed in the children’s playground. 

 

3.2       Residents around the par course areas have been told not to grow vegetables there as these plants, if not properly kept, can be unsightly. Letters were written to them.

 

3.3       AI was requested to make sure that MBSA replace lights that are blown out or fused.

 

3.4              HS informed the Meeting that the tender documents for the Management Office are now ready for distribution to contractors.  He estimated that the time frame from tender to completion would be three months and would cost in the region of RM25,000.

 

3.5       AI informed the Meeting that so far we have had no reply from the Pengurus Besar, Pos Malaysia Berhad, regarding our application to install a letter box in Glenmarie.  AI to follow up.

 

3.6       HS seek the opinion of the Committee as to whether we should change the present  card entry system at the guardhouse to an automatic sensor system.  The new system will cost in the region of RM21,000.  Taking a rough estimate of say four cars per house, each house will only have to pay around RM 40.00 for each car to be equipped with the sensor.  AI to find out whether Horsedale will pay back the deposit for the entry card, if we do decide to change.

 

 

4.      CORPORATE AFFAIRS – TRANSFER OF MANAGEMENT

 

HS briefed the Meeting on the Agreement to Transfer the Management of Glenmarie Court to GCHA.  The Meeting was told that the Agreement is ready for signature.  He proposed that GCHA officially takeover on 16th April, 2005.  To this, HI suggested that the Management Office should be built before taking over.  HS will approach Horsedale for contribution to the building cost of the Management Office.
