We're in the process of rebuilding our scheme's front entry area. This will involve the loss of a small storeroom that is currently used by tradespeople from time to time. When the idea was first floated, the loss of the store room was overlooked. Our AGM is coming up, and I suggested we add a motion to install a small garden shed to be located in an unused concreted area on the property. This would act as a replacement storeroom.
The current treasurer and secretary are completely against the overall project (rebuilding the entry) and are actually going to raise a motion to rescind it at the AGM. Furthermore, in relation to the garden shed, today I received an instruction from the treasurer in order to have this as an agenda item.
She is telling me that before they can put it on the agenda, they need me to get “at least 2 quotes, and allowing for an engineers report, and all the special drainage required etc..”, furthermore, I will need to have all this to her by next week for it to make the agenda – and she knows I'm about to head off to Queensland for a holiday.
I find these demands completely unreasonable. I'm just talking a 1.5 x 1.5 shed you can buy from Bunnings for $450. I've estimated $1000 including installation, but apparently that's not good enough for the agenda.
I can't help but feel that she's putting up hoops for people to jump through if they propose anything she doesn't like. I've seen her make these type of demands on other people who put forward proposals as well. Is this right? Can they stop other owners from adding reasonable items onto the agenda?
Thanks.
