    A few points to consider:

    1.  The average cost of strata management fees is about $200 per unit.

    2. Most strata management firms agree that the money they raise from small blocks  doesn't adequately compensate for the time spent managing them.

    3. Many small block residents complain that they don't get the level of service from strata managers that they desire (see point 2).

    4. Managing a building, even a small one takes time, effort and energy.

    Personally, I'd be saying to Fred, if he'd completed one of the many courses available for executive committee members, then he could ask for the money retrospectively, as per the Act.  But if he wants pay, rather than a 'consideration” after the matter, he needs to get a strata management license.
