In the past our Strata in NSW consisting of 32 units has asked the EC to have a committee of 3 interview a few potential strata managers. The 3 do not have to be members of the present EC and in fact prefer they not be on the committee as they do not have much experience in this area.
Some Owners would prefer a committee recommend a new strata manager or stick with the old before going to an annual meeting which will be occurring very shortly.
Should a motion be put before a general meeting by an individual to engage a different manager may result in the motion not being given proper consideration for various reasons.
One being different factions could go against an individual whereby if a manager has been suggested by an independent committee, the motion may be given more thought and voted on accordingly.
Unfortunately, most Owners don’t know what’s going on with the performance of the strata manager and how helpful they are to the EC and if they are advising the EC correctly.
What would you suggest under these circumstances?
