#19787

Tku, Roo and Cobra, for yr responses.

We have a loaded EC because our AGM didn’t have a quorum, so at the reconvened AGM an EC member turned up with a bunch of proxies and stacked the committee.

So we ended up with 7 EC members, 4 of whom voted always in a block.  One has since realised what a problem that creates, and stood down.  So now we have 3 who vote in a block against all proposals.  Every single one that involves money.  No garden maintenance to be done, repairs and maintenance on hold while they deliberate, endlessly, without a resolution.

Our biggest problem, as we speak, is that the building has quite a few major defects.  AT the AGM it was agreed to allocate $5000 for an expert report.  Since the reconvened AGM, and subsequent coup, this report has been vetoed, by the triad. Meanwhile louvres are banging in the wind (we are on a peninsula – BIG winds), or gaff taped together, so they don’t function; calcification is working it’s way thru-out the building; the intercom/security system does or doesn’t work, depending on the day; and some of the exhaust fans over the stoves run 24/7 because one poor apartment owner has no exhaust at all, it seems, and has all the cigarette and cooking smells from the rest of the building pumped into their apartment.

I had an email from one triad member, on Friday, saying i was f***d in the head.  That was distressing!

I have been on a community committee for the last 30 years and have never experienced anything like this.  We run that little organisation by consensus.  This EC set up is a big shock. There is so much aggravation!  

We, the non triad EC members, don’t know what to do.  Seriously, anyone who has any ideas – we’d really like to hear them.
