Hi
We have an EGM coming up on 22nd May (NSW) and on the Agenda is a motion to accept a Remedial Company to carry out work on defects (none of which are structural according to an engineers report). Also on the Agenda is a motion that the contract for the remedial company be reviewed and approved by the Strata Committee.
As I am about to have a $15,000 levy initially imposed on me how can I vote if the terms of the contract are not disclosed to me prior to the EGM? I would like take it to a strata lawyer to review. I have asked the Secretary of the Strata Committee to email me the contract twice now but he has failed to do so.
Second, at a general information sharing evening of all owners on 3 May on this issue it was agreed by those present(8) I should get a quote from another remediation company . I called the company but they were only able to attend the premises last Wednesday. On Tuesday the Strata Manager emailed owners and stated the EGM would go ahead on the 22nd as requisitioned and said owners had to have their motions in by 9am Thursday morning or they would not be included on the Agenda. Of course this was impossible for me to achieve. The Strata Manager proposed the company that is on the Agenda.I have not received the quote yet but have been promised it by Wednesday this week. All too late to be included on the Agenda as an alternative quote. I feel as if the Strata Manager is orchestrating the desired outcome for his company and is not doing anything in the owners best interests. I have lost all faith in the Strata Committee as well as they seem to follow anything he says.
What can I do to delay until Owners can look at an alternative quote. The work is estimated to be around $185,000 and is considered non structural as reported by engineers.
