I was told it would be put to committee as to if I could do this.
My approach when drafting my response is that the original poster (OP) was trying to work with the committee, abide by the by-laws, and have the least amount of inconvenience for everybody. When the committee member’s response was to basically say ‘we’ll see if we’ll allow it‘ then it is obvious that they aren’t about ‘making things work‘ in the building but about wielding their power to make life hard for residents.
As the Secretary of a small block I do my best to make sure that residents (owners and tenants) abide by the by-laws, and answer their questions in a timely and professional manner. This makes it much easier to ensure compliance and allows residents to have a quiet and compliant building.
For this situation, the OP needs to be able to have confidence that when they book the moving van it will be able to do its job. That the committee members treated the OP legitimate query with, at best disdain and arguably contempt, it diminishes them personally and harms the reputation of the committee.
