What’s the real problem? Is the EC doing a bad job, or are they just not communicating properly with the other owners?
At our property, the EC takes a pragmatic approach (some might call it “casual”). For significant expenditure, we’ll hold a formal paper meeting. Our owners generally feel comfortable raising issues with an EC member. Likewise, we will communicate information of interest to all owners on a case by case basis. Most owners don’t really care.
So, I suggest the next step is to talk to your EC chairman and share your specific concerns. If you don’t have access to your chairperson, get your strata manager to pass the message on to them.
