Résidence L’Astrella – Summary of the Extraordinary General Meeting (17 March 2026)


The Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) was held on 17 March 2026 at the offices of Cabinet Taboni. Owners representing 6,305/10,000 tantièmes were present or represented, allowing the meeting to proceed and vote on the resolutions.

Governance
  • Mr Eric Haas was elected President of the meeting.
  • Paul Hancock was elected First Scrutineer.
  • Cabinet Taboni acted as Secretary of the meeting.

Conseil Syndical
  • A proposal to appoint Mme Olga Belozertseva as an additional member of the Conseil Syndical was not approved. The Conseil Syndical therefore remains unchanged.

New Financial Controls
The EGM approved stronger oversight measures:
  • The syndic must consult the Conseil Syndical before entering into contracts or placing orders above €1,500.
  • Competitive tendering between companies becomes mandatory for contracts above €1,500 (excluding VAT), except in emergencies.

Review of Former Syndic (Immo de France)
The meeting formally requested explanations and follow-up regarding several matters relating to the former syndic, including:
  • Budget overruns during the last three years.
  • The exceptional €30,000 electricity call for funds.
  • Changes to energy supply contracts made without consultation.
  • Questions concerning past maintenance budgets and works.
  • Performance and monitoring of the KONE lift maintenance contract.
  • Recovery of costs arising from the delayed 2023 AGM convocation.

Cold Water Riser Replacement Project
Several contractor quotations were considered for replacement of the building's vertical cold-water distribution pipes.
After reviewing all proposals, owners approved the quotation from GEP for €139,700 including VAT. Any difference between the funds already collected and the final contract amount will be met from the building's ALUR reserve fund.
The meeting also approved:
  • Syndic supervision fees of 2% (excluding VAT) for administration of the works.
  • A verification of whether the previous syndic had already received fees relating to these works, with reimbursement to be sought if necessary.
All alternative quotations were rejected.

ISTA Contract
Owners were informed that the syndic had attempted to terminate the ISTA contract in April 2025. ISTA rejected the termination, arguing that the agreement had been signed for a ten-year period. Further action remains under review.

Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
The meeting approved the installation, management and maintenance of an electric vehicle charging infrastructure through Zeplug (or another equivalent provider):
  • No cost to the co-ownership.
  • No obligation for residents to subscribe.

General Reminders
Owners were reminded about:
  • Updating mailbox and intercom nameplates.
  • Waste sorting arrangements and bulky-item collection services.
  • Availability of documents through the syndic's online portal.

Next AGM
The next General Meeting is scheduled for 17 September 2026 (TBC).

Key outcome: The EGM approved tighter financial oversight, authorised EV charging infrastructure, and selected the GEP proposal for the long-awaited replacement of the building's cold-water risers.
