Association Manager’s recommendation regarding reappointment of the current auditor for 2027 and 2028 In light of the expiry of the current auditor’s term (KPMG Fakhro) upon completion of the 2026 audit, the Board reviewed the Association Manager’s recommendation to reappoint the same auditor for 2027 and 2028, based on the following justifications: The firm has demonstrated a high level of professionalism and compliance with accounting and auditing standards. Continuity with the current auditor ensures efficiency and speed in completing audit work due to its familiarity with the Association’s operations and financial systems.

Association Manager’s recommendation regarding a proposal submitted by a company for wastewater treatment at the Riffa Views plant In relation to a proposal submitted by a company to treat its tanker wastewater at the Riffa Views treatment plant, the Association Manager noted that the wastewater contains mixed substances including oils, posing significant operational and environmental risks that could negatively impact the efficiency and safety of the plant. The Association Manager recommended not proceeding with the contract due to these risks and advised against entering into any current or future arrangements with companies that do not comply with the plant’s specifications. Following discussion, the Board approved the recommendation. 9. Discussion of the Vice Chairman’s proposal to establish an Advisory Council for the Association The Board reviewed the proposal submitted by the Vice Chairman to establish an Advisory Council to support the Board by providing opinions and recommendations on matters referred to it, aiming to strengthen governance principles and benefit from the experience of former Board members and knowledgeable residents. The proposal included the mechanism for forming the Advisory Council, which reports to the Board and is appointed at the beginning of each new Board term, consisting of five (5) members chaired by a Board member. Members would be selected from former Board members and experienced unit owners across various fields. The proposal outlined the objectives of the Advisory Council, including leveraging experience and expertise, providing advice on strategic and administrative matters, supporting the Board in evaluating initiatives and projects, enhancing institutional continuity, and strengthening communication between successive Boards. Following discussion, the Board approved the establishment of the Advisory Council, with the Board retaining the authority to regulate its operations, update its composition, amend its framework, or terminate it as deemed appropriate, without prejudice to the powers of the General Assembly or the Board. 10. Discussion of the Association Manager’s proposal to upgrade the sewage tanker reception facility The Board reviewed the Association Manager’s report regarding the proposal to upgrade the sewage tanker reception facility at the Riffa Views treatment plant. The Association Manager explained that the current setup allows tankers to discharge into the wet well of Pump Station (4), which can only accommodate one tanker at a time, limiting intake capacity to approximately 20 tankers per day (around 378.5 cubic meters). The Association Manager emphasized that upgrading the facility to handle larger volumes is essential to ensure water security for the community’s green areas, as internal production does not meet peak demand, and external sources are limited or costly, leading to increased water purchase costs and lost revenue from treated water. The estimated cost of the upgrade is BD 30,000. Following discussion, the Board approved the recommendation, with funding to be sourced from revenues generated from the sale of additional strips or other additional income. The meeting concluded at 7:20 PM.
