    \topic{Old Business}

    \subtopic{Well Status} 
    After the latest repairs, made in September, the well is working
    well.  The power consumption from 9/21/2012 until 10/31/2012 was
    1182 Kilowatts, which is in line with previous consumption.

    \subtopic{CNA concession}
    Tim has made numerous attempts to contact Salvadore Alcantar,
    with no success.  He no longer returns phone calls.  Thus the
    status of our CNA concession is unknown at this time.

    \topic{Treasurer's report} 
    We are on track to end the year within our budget, despite the
    unforeseen well expenses incurred in July and September.  We were
    able to economize in other areas in order to avoid a special
    assessment. 

    \subtopic{Banking} Ruth is still attempting to add Lori to the
    list of allowed signatures at Santander.  Henry will accompany her
    on Friday to try to resolve this.

    \subtopic{2013 Budget} Ruth submitted a proposed budget for 2013.
    As usual, it was thourough, well thought out, and well presented.
    It was reviewed and accepted by the board.

    One minor item, worthy of note, is that the new budget proposed a
    five peso per hour increas for Guillermo, our gardener.  He has
    worked for the fracc. for more than three  years now, and he does
    a good job.

    \topic{New Business}

    \subtopic{The next General Assembly}
    The next GA meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 4th at
    4:00pm at Via Alta \#6.  Pizza will be served. 
    
    \subtopic{Security}
    Tim suggested that all homeowners take a digital photo of their
    regular employees/contractors along with a digital photo of their
    credencial and forward them to Henry who will put them online.
    This way we (the residents) can recognize who belongs here and who
    doesn't. 

    \subtopic{2013 Dues}
    There was lengthy discussion about the dues for 2013.  Several
    people pointed out that had we not passed budget last year that
    contained a provision for a contingency fund, we would have had
    another special assessment this summer in order to deal with the
    well problems.  Henry suggested adding \$500 to the annual
    assessment to build up the contingency fund for the future.
    Romeo agreed, and Tim recommended that he raise the issue at the
    GA meeting.  Henry also suggested that we should index our dues to
    the inflation rate in Mexico.  The inflation rate in October was
    4.6\%, which would mean an increase of \$322 pesos.  Homeowner are
    encouraged to present their views on this issue at the Dec. 4th
    meeting. 

    \subtopic{Fracs of Chapala Organization}
    Henry moved and Tim seconded that we join the newly formed Frac
    association in order to gain more negotiating clout with the city
    government.  The cost is a one time fee of \$3000 pesos.  Motion
    carried unanimously.

    \subtopic{Absences}
    \begin{enumerate}
    \item Tim will be gone from Dec 7 to Jan 23
    \item Lori will be gone from Dec 13 to Jan 15
    \item Henry will be gone from Jan 14 to Jan 22
    \end{enumerate}

    \topic{Adjournment} Meeting adjourned at 5:13 pm.
