Thanks, Jimmy for your response. The reason I believe they are in cahoots is an ongoing saga. I have summarised the main reason below.
- On 1 July 2015, our first 10-year Capital Fund Plan (CF Plan) was prepared by Quantity Surveyor. The CF Plan was prepared without consulting the OC and I believe the plan is inadequate because it does not capture all works that are needed. The CF Plan was carried out under the instructions of the Treasurer, and Secretary with help of Strata manager.
- In Oct 2015 a special levy of $500k was raised for all remedial work-window upgrade that was not captured in CF Plan.
- In Nov 2016 another special levy for $100k was raised to pay for works outside the scope of the Contract and was not in CF Plan. Most works were carried out to Secretary and Treasurer’s units and excluded other units due to insufficient funds.
- This year there is a proposal for Special levy again for ceiling repair work that is not in the CF Plan.
- The Secretary has demanded the crack in her unit ceiling be fixed. The Secretary got the builder to inspect her unit and units on either side of her unit. The builder estimated the work would cost approx. 20k/unit. There are other units that require ceiling repair too. However, the remaining 9 out of 12 units were excluded from this inspection.
- I requested the EC and Strata manager for inspection to be extended to all the units in our building. They argued that it would decrease the value of their units if it became a part of the record in AGM minutes. Consequently, I believe that the Strata Manager, Secretary, and Treasurer are in Cahoots.
