I would like feedback about how our recent AGM by Zoom was conducted as it seems very odd and perhaps illegal.
We had 15 of 24 owners sign in and 3 owners held proxies…so 18 voting owners. The size of the committee was previously 9 but a vote by owners decided to reduce to 7 this year. There were initially 13 committee nominations ( 2 later withdrew) so total of 11 nominations for 7 positions. The Strata Manager then stated without any discussion with owners , that the election of committee would be conducted by voting papers to be submitted by owners to SM with a deadline of 6 days later.
Is it legal to not complete the election of a strata committee at an AGM?
The Strata Manager informed all owners they must vote for 7 committee members…is this right. Can owners vote for a lesser number of their choice and not have their voting paper declared invalid by the SM?
Is there a conflict of interest if a Strata Manager and Secretary are long term best friends? Should this be declared to owners as a possible conflict of interest?
I have on 3 occasions requested a copy of the Strata Roll from the secretary and SM and been denied x 3 / ignored x2 and told the secretary did not have access to same. Is this legal and accurate?
