Re: Getting rid of SM at next AGM

Thanks Urban and Whale! I have started making a list of those residents who I believe will support a move and also those who will bother to get back to me or the EC!  

Should those who are voting by proxy not tick the box to continue with this SM and leave this blank?  Then on the night, if we get the support I hope we have, then 75% of owners will be in agreement that this SM is not performing.  With that number we can put the SM on notice for 3 months.

As our EC is now a “party of one”, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get the day to day running of things accomplished when you have to constantly check what this SM has done or said.  It was difficult enough when there were 5 or 6 of us on the committee.  

They have a habit of making decisions on our behalf without consultation or notice to us!  They have told owners that work is covered by our by laws when it wasn't (and in fact in one case they told one owner work was covered and another that this strata plan did not cover the same work in the same month!)  They have also written to contractors saying that we did not like the work they did and would not use them again even though we did like the work they did very much and did want to use them and did not instruct them to do this.  

And don't get me started on paying bills twice ($8,000 is hard to miss when you pay it twice in the same month), sending out tradespeople to fix something that has been fixed and making claims on our insurance without telling us and then when asked what has been claimed and when still not telling us!  And when you ring to chase up these matters, there is another staff change!
