ccbaxter – firstly, it’s customary for the owners who pay for (and own) the solar systems to also pay for the infrastructure (wiring, inverters, meters etc) and to be required to maintain that in accordance with the provisions of a Special By-Law, which they collectively pay for with regard drafting/preparation and registration.
Even though you “don’t want to get into it right now”, I should briefly advise that it’s also customary for those owners who benefit from the exclusive use of an area of common property to also be responsible for the maintenance of that area; either directly or by a reimbursement of the Owners Corporation’s maintenance costs . Does your Plan have an Exclusive Use By-Law in place?
With regard to the Agenda and Minutes, I agree with you that the former is extremely “wooly” and it follows that the latter is similarly so! Like what happens if the majority of those owners who view the plans on display don’t like what they see, and if the $40K “spend level” that’s probably intended to be an upper limit on spending is exceeded?
When you confirm your recollections of what was agreed with your confidents (sic), I strongly urge you to collectively write to whoever it was who took the minutes of the AGM, setting out what you all expect that the review process to be (e.g. an EGM), and request him/her to respond in writing if those expectations are incorrect; that is no response = confirmation of your recollections.
