Going back to the minutes as drafted by the Strata Manager, they are the minutes of the General Meeting which the owners attended and voted on. While it is difficult with minutes of annual meetings, because a year passes until there can be a vote on whether they reflect the proceedings of the meeting, that doesn’t mean that the draft minutes can’t be amended.
The Strata Manager drafts them, and then as best practice the draft minutes should be circulated to at least the Secretary of the EC to confirm whether they are accurate. That is what we do.
I don’t see why it should be solely up to the SM to determine what should be in the minutes, of course you can’t have endless arguments about them but if the minutes are incorrect to the extent simone42 says they are, then that is a concern.
I think I have mentioned before that some years ago a former strata manager of ours got the minutes incorrect in relation to the levies for the coming year – it was clear they had cut and pasted them from another scheme’s minutes, which meant that everyone’s levies were wrong. They told us that we had to call an EGM to change those minutes so we could change the levies to what they should have been in the first place, which is what we did, and that strata manager had the nerve to charge us for that meeting. They aren’t our strata manager any more.
