TOWN ASSETS are all movable or immovable property within the Town Area, as defined herein and showed in Attachment 2 of this Annual Report, which is made available to the Town Association by Lustica Development, with the transferred Right to Use. Town Assets include, but are not limited to: street lights, landscape lights, fire-fighting infrastructure, road and walkway surfaces, retaining walls, landscaping (excluding pools), benches, trash cans, signage, utilities infrastructure, Waste Water Treatment Plant, and all other land or buildings controlled by the Town, whether by freehold ownership, usage right or leasehold right etc.

II. Overview of Services

A Service Level Agreement for Town management and operations signed with Lustica Development on August 3, 2017 for the duration of 25 years is on-going. Detailed explanation of all services is provided in the contracted Scope of Services, which is provided in the Attachment 3 of this Report. As the Town Area expands, Annex to the SLA is signed, to define the new Town Area. The Agreement between Lustica Development A.D. (LD) as the owner of Town Assets and Lustica Bay Town Association to transfer right to use of those assets to Town Association, to include, but not to be limited to street lights, landscape lights, fire-fighting infrastructure, road and walkway surfaces, retaining walls, landscaping (excluding pools), benches, trash cans, signage, utility infrastructure, Waste Water Treatment Plant, etc., remains to be in force.

Per the signed Service Level Agreement, Lustica Development AD provided following services:

1. Management and Operations of the Town – basic services, which are comprised of:

1) General Maintenance – Town

Lustica Development A.D. as a Management Company continued to outsource maintenance services with the same company that provided maintenance of the Town Areas and Town Assets until June 1st, 2019, when the outsource company informed us they can no longer provide services to us, due to closing of their business. This situation, combined with our in-depth analysis of the current market availability and pricing of outsourced companies, as announced in the plan last year, led us to a decision of forming an in-house facility management team to provide all technical services. This plan was partially implemented in 2019 and will be completed in 2020. Cleaning services remained outsourced.

Pest management was provided throughout the season, regular fumigation against mosquitos and placement of snake repellents was performed regularly, resulting in reduced presence of insects, rodents and snakes.

All fire fighting equipment has been maintained and tested as per the law requirements and preventive maintenance plan.

All Town Areas were regularly maintained: cleaning of all areas, walkways, streets; regular inspections of all the areas, maintenance and repair of the areas that require it; upkeep of the lights, etc. All Town Assets were regularly monitored and maintained. All malfunctions were corrected in timely manner, taking all the safety measures into account. In the reporting period there were no incidents regarding Town Areas or Town Assets that could cause some additional costs to the owners. For all new buildings, which were handed over during 2019, Lustica Development handled the entire process with Lustica Development Projects department and Main Contractor to ensure smooth transition, result of which was enlarged Town Area and increased number of Town Assets.

2) Town Security Security services included continuous, 24-hour presence of five security positions on the site, out of which two were permanently located at the two entrance gates, and one at the CCTV monitoring center. Two positions were patrolling the perimeter and making sure all activities in the Town are orderly. From June to November 2019, an additional guard patrol was established to help with an increased number of homeowners, guests and visitors. As of November 2019, gate from the main entrance was re-located for the better positioning in regard to control of the access, given the construction activities in the area.

Implemented CCTV surveillance system is being used as previously implemented, covering Marina and promenade area. CCTV was added to cover the water reservoir, wastewater treatment plan and substations. Further planning of the expansion of the system is on-going.

3) Insurance Insurance of all Town Area and Town Assets continued in 2019 with same insurance broker and all new Town areas and assets were included in new insurance policy. Type of insurance obtained includes coverage against fire, thunder, explosion, fall of aircrafts, storm, hail, fight, vehicle impact, demonstrations, events, glass breakage, burglary, robbery and earthquake, as well as 3rd party liability.

4) Management and administration Lustica Development continues to supervise maintenance activities in the Town under the Agreement in order to ensure the highest quality standards are met. As explained in the section 1.1), it was decided by Lustica Development to provide in-house technical services, as opposed to outsourced. This decision was made with the goal of providing more sustainable services, not subject to market fluctuations and with better quality. Lustica Development continued to provide Management and Operation to the Town with no profit margin. Town Fee was calculated in accordance with the Agreement with Town Association and is comprised of the following:

1) Cost of work per the Town Management Service Level Agreement (SLA) (as explained herein)

2) Reserve – calculated as 5 percent of the above SLA value. 2. Utility Supply Services According to the Lustica Bay Town Association Statute, Town Association must ensure that reliable utility management services are provided in the Town Area. Part of the Town Management SLA is also Town utility management and operations to Lustica Development A.D. As a part of the provision of these services, following services were provided:

• Electricity Supply and Maintenance

Page 6: TOWN ASSOCIATION · 2020. 5. 30. · 3 TOWN ASSETS are all movable or immovable property within the Town Area, as defined herein and showed in Attachment 2 of this Annual Report,

• Water and Sewer Supply & Maintenance • Waste Management

Water reservoir station with two big water tanks (2x500m3) is in function, providing back-up supply in case of need. In 2019, there were no water outages and electricity supply was constant.

III. 2019 Annual Work and Financial Report

The Annual Town Maintenance Fee for 2019 was estimated at 30,32 €/m2 of residential area.

As shown in the Attachment 1, per all the reported expenditures, the actual Town fee for 2019 was calculated as follows:

• 28,14 €/m2 for building owners that were occupying their residences throughout a year (buildings: C, D, F, G, B1, B2, E1, E2, E7, Chedi Condo units, TH2, TH4, TH6, MV3, MV4);

• 24,71 €/m2 for building owners who joined as of March 1st (B3, B4); • 16,51 €/m2 for building owners who joined as of July 1st (E3, E4).

The difference in the Town Fee amount from cluster to cluster originates from the fact that for some clusters were services for a full 12 months and others handed over during 2019, we had less than year from handover, so the cost have been distributed accordingly, as reflected above and in the Attachment 1 of this Report. Lustica Development A.D. as selected Town Management Company continued to charge only for the actual staff associated costs, without any profit margin.
