I do a lot of work for the OC (I am the secretary). This has ranged from managing a building project, to drafting submissions to the CTTT, to briefing lawyers, to searching council records, to just general “stuff”. The only reason I have done that is because no-one else seems inclined to and it generally saves us time and money. However, after a very eventful year last year I added up the hours I had spent and it exceeded 150.
I am not inclined to spend any more time on this sort of thing unless in certain circumstances I am paid for it. I think it is reasonable that if someone does certain types of work then they should be paid, the fact that they are an owner and/or on the EC shouldn’t preclude that as long as it is transparent.
I have my doubts about the propriety of a $100K+ consultancy fee, and I hope the person getting it has some decent indemnity insurance.
