Thanks for your rather flippant reply but it is a bit more complex than that.
There are actually 5 EC members of which 2 are the Secretary, Chairman & Treasurer. These 2 run the show and bypass the legislation for major decisions. and for 5 years all meetings and decisions have been “informal”.
In relation to the current issue they will have $7000 plus donated on the understanding that the donor makes the decision on what will put in the foyer. A binding agreement will be signed with the interior decorator and the email to EC members states the donor will make “the final decision on the choice of furniture items” In addition he is asking for donations in cash or kind from other EC members but not providing any plans.
This is a very formal lot who live here and without any idea of what is actually being proposed it may well not be to everybody’s taste. The “agreement suggests that furniture becomes the property of the owners corporation who will be responsible for maintaining and insuring against theft.
From a large bare marble foyer to whatever is a bit more than plonking a table and few plants down and seeing what happens. If a minimum of $7000 is being spent it requires input from all owners but the plan is to vote then tell owners “as a matter of courtesy” after the deed is done.
I would really appreciate a serious reply re S65A as I would welcome an update but think it should be by consensus.
Thanks
