Thank you, I will write to the secretary and ask that this motion be placed on the next General Meeting as an item on the agenda.
In relation to the instructions received by the strata manager not to provide the General Ledger Transaction Report prior to the AGM, I did write to the strata manager after the meeting asking who instructed them to do this and they replied that the scheme had chosen the interpretation of the SSMA ‘that each line item of expenditure be disclosed for the purposes of the meeting, not each individual payment’. She also advised that she was instructed by the Executive Committee not to release this information.
I followed up to find out who gave these instructions and she replied “feel free to attend our office and undertake a S108 search to satisfy your enquiry.” No where in any Executive Committee Minutes were there instructions of this nature recorded. Whether it was in email to the strata manager from an Executive Committee member will test the extent of records available under a S108 search.
I have asked the strata manager to resign over this lack of financial transparency and other matters.
