Reply To: Undisclosed payments to Strata Committee member

Good evening gentlemen,

I just saw p2 of replies to my query. I missed it when I looked earlier.

Thank you JT and Sir Humphrey.

As I understand you, I should first put a “please explain” letter to a SC meeting.

Problems:

1. The Tsr/Sec eschews such meetings. He prefers to act in secret and that his views are rubbed stamped by the Chair without the glare of any non SC member querying his actions;

2. He never sends out agendas to non SC members;

3. He never sends out minutes of SC meetings to non SC members;

4. He has never asked non SC members to list items on the agenda of a SC meeting.

I may be wrong, but as I see it, my options are:

1. Send my “pls explain” letter to the managing agent and Tsr/Sec for listing at the next SCM. BUT, there may not be one for months or years. In fact I do not recall one being held in the last two years. So my letter may go yellow before it sees light of day at a SC meeting; OR

2. Send the “pls explain” letter to the agent and Tsr/Sec asking for a reply in 5 days to my queries. Note the agent (surely at the behest of the Tsr) advised me a couple of days ago that as he wasn’t the agent when the irregular transactions took place, he cannot explain them. Of course the Tsr/Sec who benefited at least once from an unauthorised payment from the OC’s a/c to him did not pony up an explanation as to that windfall nor about the other missing $10,000.

As I understand you two, the more specific my queries to the managing agent and Tsr/Sec, the better. If they don not reply or if they reply as they have to date ie most unsatisfactory, then I can seek mediation, with just cause.

True?
