the PRESIDENT SAYS!<br />
PHA IS FORMED BY ALL OF US OWNERS<br />
<strong>PALMAS</strong> DEL MAR HOMEOWN-<br />
ERS ASSOCIATION (PHA) exists for<br />
the homeowners. The certificate<br />
of incorporation states that PHA is<br />
a non-for-profit corporation which<br />
was created “to provide and ensure<br />
for the preservation of values and<br />
amenities and to own, maintain and<br />
administer the common properties,<br />
services and facilities in the Palmas<br />
del Mar Community”.<br />
PHA is formed by all of us owners<br />
and there can’t be any issue as to<br />
the real purpose of PHA. PHA is us,<br />
working for us and having us as the<br />
objective. In doing so the preservation of values and<br />
amenities is a primary obligation. That is why PHA in<br />
addition to maintaining its property has in place agreements<br />
with the city of Humacao which authorize us to<br />
provide maintenance to public property. PHA does that<br />
because the preservation of the quality of life in Palmas<br />
is our primary goal.<br />
For the past year I have had the benefit of a dream<br />
team by my side. I have worked side by side with Mr.<br />
Enrique Alejandro, Mr. Miguel Santiago, Mr. Jorge Manrique<br />
and Mr. Tony Maldonado. Mr. Alejandro is a certified<br />
public accountant and finance expert with over 38<br />
years of experience in the industry; Mr. Santiago is an<br />
engineer and founding father of our ARB; Mr. Manrique<br />
is an attorney with over 45 years of experience and Mr.<br />
Maldonado was our past Executive Director. I can assure<br />
you that they as the PHA Board’s Executive Committee<br />
have given their best and will continue to do so if<br />
they are given the opportunity.<br />
These lines are to be published after the <strong>2022</strong> Homeowners<br />
Week and the election process to be conducted<br />
by the PHA Board (Class A and B members) for the<br />
board positions. It is my wish that all the PHA Board<br />
members at the time of the election of the Board President,<br />
Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer put the<br />
community first. If not remember that we the owners are<br />
the members of PHA and therefore PHA exists because<br />
of us. The quote of PHA Certificate of Incorporation<br />
article fifth has the keyword community. In that sense<br />
that is why we must defend our community. PHA cannot<br />
become the promoter of other interests which are<br />
not the community’s interest. We as homeowners must<br />
join together and defend ourselves and our community.<br />
Therefore, we must move forward and participate. PHA<br />
needs its homeowners and we as homeowners need a<br />
strong PHA to defend us.<br />

Letter of Intent<br />
PHA announces that a “Letter of Intent” has been signed<br />
with the companies Siemens and Ensysa to explore the<br />
viability of more efficient, cleaner and cheaper alternatives<br />
to produce energy. This first step is aimed at studying<br />
and developing what eventually would be our energy<br />
“grid.” “The aim is for Palmas del Mar to have an independent<br />
source of energy in a production field with clean<br />
and modern resources that in turn translate into monetary<br />
savings on our bills,” said Lic. Erasmo Reyes, president<br />
of Palmas Homeowners Association during the signing of<br />
the agreement of intent, an agreement that aims to study<br />
the viability of this project. This study should be completed<br />
within approximately 12 to 14 months. s
