Where it is really minor, members of our EC with appropriate skills just do the work ourselves. Eg. We can replace light globes but we don’t do work that would require an electrician. Where someone else has some time, we are happy for the help. Eg. putting another coat of timber oil on the outdoor furniture in our communal BBQ area.
A bit of commonsense can determine what repair work does not involve any serious risks. You could do some arse covering by making an explicit resolution of the EC. Eg. To approve Josephine Bloggs to spend up to $50 to purchase timber oil and a brush and re-coat the picnic table, and to be reimbursed on presentation of a receipt to the treasurer.
