Time: 18:00PM

Location: Teams

Attendees: Simon Phelan; Alex Stirling; Peder Oien; Paloma Fernandez

Summary:

Handover and Contact Details
The meeting opened with a discussion on Rob’s recent departure from The Roof Gardens. Simon has assumed Rob’s responsibilities and shared his contact details with Alex for distribution to the KSRA. He will now serve as the primary point of contact going forward.

Parking Security App Development
The status of the app development was reviewed. While it has been tested internally, its public release is pending Apple approval due to the requirements of an Apple Developer Enterprise License. These delays are beyond the team’s control. In the meantime, the app remains available for internal use within the organisation.

Parking Control and Complaints
Parking control continues as a manual process, supported by SIA officers. No recent complaints have been reported, indicating general satisfaction with the system. Daniel and the current security and SIA teams have improved control of the outside areas significantly.

Parking Statistics and Member Compliance
Parking statistics from November to early December were shared. During this period, 13 cars were moved from the square and nine members were denied entry, with no memberships withdrawn. Non-compliance often arises from members’ guests, but improved communication with residents and stricter enforcement measures are helping maintain adherence to parking rules. It was noted that members are unlikely to repeat incorrect parking once entry has been refused.

Upcoming Events 

Plans for the Christmas party and New Year’s Eve celebration were discussed. The New Year’s Eve event will feature a dinner and dance and is deliberately toned down compared to previous years. The Japanese restaurant will remain fully open, and no fireworks are planned. Emphasis was placed on maintaining sensible celebrations while keeping members well informed.
