It’s complicated and thanks Peter C (and others). I have also been on the Executive Committee but not for the last few years.
I’ll try and be simple. There are greatly needed repairs and refurbishment of common property gardens and a car park area which everyone agrees are long overdue. The project is probably worth 70 to 100 grand.
The current committee are proxy gathers. Their ‘clique’ have had three years now to get this done and at the General Meetings have presented an agenda item for the work but not sent round plans or quotes, and unbelievably not even had more than one copy at the meetings. No one is given the chance to properly peruse and consider the plans and quotes. They just expect us all to trust them and what they say. And they are left looking more than a little shady. I suspect that each time they believe they have enough votes for a blanket go-ahead but fail when they cannot answer questions such as whether or not council may be required or if they have considered drainage issues. No real vote has actually taken place.
I hesitate before saying this but they are young and obviously have not bothered to find out anything about their duties and responsibilities as Executive Committee Members and the Strata Manager offers no guidance, even procedural guidance in meetings.
It is impossible to discuss these issues with the committee members. As I said they behave in an intimidating manner. It is bullying in fact. I am interested in whether bullying by executive committee members in strata is institutionalized bullying covered in some government act. It’s that serious I would think.
