Cooreville Gardens Citizen's Association Annual Report 2019-20

COOREVILLE GARDENS CITIZENS ASSOCIATION Annual Report 2019/21 Together We Build Published Nov. 2021

Message FROM THE PRESIDENT The new Executive team elected at the AGM in October was for a term of 2 years in keeping with amendments made to the Constitution at the said AGM. There were a number of accomplishments and disappointments over the period. One major achievement was the repair to roads in the community, funded by the NHT. Second was the signing of an Addendum to the Memorandum of Agreement with the Housing Ministry for the Association to receive an annual amount to offset the shortfall in our annual budget. This will enable the Executive to accomplish much more on an annual basis. Of significance also was the changing of bank signatories and access to online banking. This creates easier access to funds when required. On the downside was the lack of accomplishment with several projects we committed to start. Also, the length of time it took to receive the budgetary allocation from the Ministry and this prevented us from implementing some of the plans. The corona virus which came upon us from mid 2020 slowed down the pace at which matters could be addressed and required adjustment to a new way of doing things. During the term, two members of the Committee resigned for personal reasons. Thanks for the opportunity to have served as President and as an Association, we look forward to better things to come.
