Hello,
Thank you for your response.
– when the special levy was approved at the General Meeting, did the owners also approve entering into the contract for the remedial works?
Yes 9 owners agreed. I was the only one who disagreed with the way the special levy was imposed without considering regular periodic instalments and also my suggestion to sourcing competitive quote was disregarded.
– does the notice of meeting for the variations include approval of those variations, and not just the raising of the special levy?
The notice of meeting includes 8 new variations of which 1 was already approved by Treasurer without the knowledge of committee members , other 7 variations have costing and instruction to raise special levy before Christmas.
If not, the special levy will be approved but not the entering into the contract.
I did not understand this part.
If I were you I would be putting in an urgent application for appointment of a managing agent, on the basis that the scheme is dysfunctional.
We have a strata manager who worked with the treasurer to prepare the meeting agenda that details the variations, costings and recommendation to raise another special levy.
I agree the scheme is dysfunctional because it is run by the treasurer and investors and for some reason no one will speak up against their decisions.
Can the treasurer approve variations for approx $6000 without taking approval from the committee members?
Regards
Rhea
