It's not clear from the original post what the special resolutions are, they may or may not be by-laws. From what you say it sounds like the special resolution relates to specific work being carried out? In any event, if there are other works that need to be done urgently then the OC can't delay those works just because the works the subject of the special resolution haven't been done. The OC may need to raise additional money, or use money it currently has, but generally it can't delay work if it is required. This is particularly the case if damage is occurring or possible liability issues.
