We have 10 apartments in our block and an EC of 5. I am Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary of the Committee. Until now, none of the other committee members has taken much of an interest in the workings of the EC

 

Some time ago, one of the owners in our block replaced the carpet with a wooden floor. He did not ask EC approval before doing so. As a result, we introduced a by law which required EC permission before changing the type of flooring in any of the units

 

One of the owners has requested permission to lay a timber floor. They claim to have a medical certificate that this will help the asthma of one of their children. They have individually approached three of the members of the EC who have approved and signed the request.

 

The strata managers called for a postal vote but the meeting lapsed for lack of a quorum. I did not receive the notification so did not vote

 

They have now called a meeting to be held in the garage of one of the EC members. Of the members who approved the request:

One has said she will not attend

One is overseas

One is claiming that the EC has already decided

 

That leaves two men standing and both of us oppose the request. It seems that the EC meeting will lapse again for lack of a quorum

 

What can I do?
