Yes I do think that ECs should be fined and held accountable. They should be able to prove how they came to their decisions, why they did this and not that. A vote against one owner who wants to make a change should be the same for all owners. EC’s shouldn’t be allowed to enforce some bylaws and not others. And they should not issue NTC to an owner when they, the EC members, have done the same thing.
All of the above have happend he in the past two years or so. Questionable decisions have been made and yet decisions on repairs and maintenance have been left for over a year. When I asked the OC to address an issue with another owner I was told they are too busy carrying out all the repairs to possible attend to that trivial complaint and will attend to that when the work is done. 12 months on no work done. No action taken. And our EC sits back and thinks it is all ok because they are covered by insurance. Owners sit back and thing that someone will do something and will no doubt wait till the AGM to ask/complain. Just like last year and the year before and the year before….
If they don’t attend to matters placed before them in writing they should explain the reason why. If the reason is because of other outstanding matters then those matters should be shown to be completed in about to be completed in a schedule of works. You don’t need a course to be on the EC. You need common sense, communication, advice from your SM and this website. That is what I used whilst on the EC with no problems. I knew I had the responsibility of others people’s homes to consider.
