  Points from President
 
2.   The president welcomed all members and briefly stated reasons for revision of byelaws as well as for upgradation/maintenance of elevators, as follows:-
a)   Present EC was asked to revise the current bye-laws during the last EOGM held on 11 Oct 15.
b)   Also, Dy Registrar of Societies, Meerut had mandated vide letter dated 03 Sep 15 to revise the bye-laws in accordance with UP Apartment Act, 2010.
c)   In addition, the issue of modernization of our lifts as well as their maintenance has been under consideration, since long. The EC wishes to put forward a proposal for consideration by the General Body.
 
  Agenda Point I: Society Byelaw 2016
 3.   This agenda point was discussed in two sessions spread over two successive Sundays. Chapters I to VII were taken up para by para & relevant issues discussed at length.  Gist of salient issues discussed & important decisions taken are listed in subsequent paragraphs.
a) Term ‘Board of Management to be adopted instead of Executive Committee’.
b) General Body to be the Competent Authority for all Society matters.
c) Eligibility conditions for voters & candidates for Society Elections should be suitably highlighted by including them in Chapter II on Voting, Quorum & Eligibility.
d) Para 27 of the Draft Byelaws dealing with action to be taken in case of vacancies in the Board of Management (BoM), to be refined to clearly state that if four or more members, out of six elected members resign, President (or next in chain) will call for a Special GBM within 48 hours. First Agenda Point of this SGBM will be to decide by a majority vote whether existing vacancies will be filled up on the spot or a fresh election is to be ordered.
e) Para 34 on Resignations to be reworded to specify the manner of submitting resignation.
         
 COMMENT (CAN WE BIND THE MEMBERS BY ANY MEANS IF THEY WISH TO RESIGN SINCE THE SAME IS A VOLUNTARY APPOINTMENT AND THEY WORK AS PER THEIR WILL AND NO ONE CAN FORCE THEM, AS LONG AS THE RESIGNATION IN WRITING IS SUBMITTED IT IS ENOUGH)
 
f) Para 39 : Transfer of an Apartment. Dr SK Singh, G 728, stated that ½ % transfer charges to be paid by the seller are high since he also has to pay the Society a NOC fee, which is currently (Apr 16) Rs 10,000. However, other speakers stated that the current sale value of DUs ranges between Rs 1.00 to 1.30 crores, depending on size. As per this new provision, seller will have to pay 40 to 60 thousand more. This should be affordable and is essential for building up our funds. Moreover, UP Apartment Act,2010, Chapter IV para 7, states that transfer charges may be charged at the rate of one to two per cent of the sale value. Our new bye-laws are only laying down ½%.
g) Para 42: Rules of Conduct. Issues related to management of Pets within the campus were briefly discussed. Multi-storey complex is not very conducive to manage pets with limited space in apartments. We need to follow prescribed rules. Also new residents, both owners & residents, should be discouraged from bringing in pets.

COMMENT - (THE EXIXTING POPULATION OF PETS SHOULD CONTINUE BE MANAGED WITHOUT CAUSING ANY DAMGER TO THE FELLOW RESIDENCES NO NEW ONE BE ADMITTED)
h) Status of Power of Attorney Owners. Some residents are neither member, because they have not signed the tripartite agreement with AWHO as well as the NOIDA Authority nor are they Associate Members. Also some residents are staying in the Society in Apartments owned by their parents/children/siblings/spouse; who are staying elsewhere. After a brief discussion,it was decided that Associate Membership should be extended to such members as per norms for tenants. Where the spouse or parent has expired and hereditary transfer is in progress, Associate Membership should be accorded without charging Membership fee, for the interim period. This aspect to be suitably included in the new bye-laws
4.   After the discussion as above, the President moved a resolution as given below;
 
‘The draft Society Bye-laws 2016, placed before the General Body, be:-
a)   Modified as above.
b)  Only Chapters I to VII should be included.

COMMENT (SUITABLE PARA BE INCL TO EMPOWER THE 'BOM' TO ISSUE ADM INSTRS FROM TIME TO TIME)
c) Chapters VIII & IX should be de-linked from Bye-laws & issued separately as Administrative Instructions or Rules.
d)  Modified Bye-laws & Administrative Instructions should be posted on Ramvihar Blog/Yahoo mailing group & made available for scrutiny by members. Thereafter, Final Byelaws should be placed in the next meeting of the GBM for approval.’
5.   Resolution was passed unanimously with voice vote.
     Agenda Point II: Elevators
6.   President commenced the discussion by stating that we have been examining & deferring the up-gradation of our Elevator Controllers, for the last five years or so, due to various reasons. Now we have received proposals which appear to be viable. We may consider running a pilot project for examining the new microprocessor based technology as well as maintenance of existing Lifts by Local vendors.
 7.   Salient points of discussion are:-
a)   A comparative Table showing rates for a new Panel & accessories as well as AMC  was circulated to members present & discussed.
b)  Lt Col V C  Khare, B-406, cautioned members against commercial pitch of various vendors. He gave out reasons for frequent faults eg poor cleaning leading to dust accumulation ,overloading & inadequate upkeep of the Machine Room. However, he felt that pilot project is worth taking up.
c)   A small committee should be formed by the EC to examine all quotations, visit sites serviced by short listed vendors, select one vendor and approve the MOU. Payment schedule, disposal of replaced parts, quality control & warranty should be seen in particular.
d)  We can install one Microprocessor based Panel on a trial basis. Also we can handover maintenance of one lift to the same vendor.

f)    Duration of the Pilot project / Trial period will be decided by the committee. Minimum six months are desirable.  (COMMENT - MIN TIME LIMIT BE NOT LAID DOWN AS SOON AS THE E BLOCK RESIDENTS ARE CONFIDENT WE SHOULD TAKE FURTHER DECISION)
g)   Report on the progress of the Project should be forwarded before 31 Mar 17. Upgradation of other Lifts as well next AMC,will depend on this report.
8.   After discussion as above, the President moved a resolution as given below;
 ‘General Body hereby approves:-
