Their is nothing wrong with creating a new bylaw but it is a bit of overkill IMHO.Just vote at the next GM by a simple majority to engage contractor xx to clean all windows and remove cobwebs every x months at a cost of $x. This leaves control with the Strata whereas if you create a bylaw the Strata is obliged to continue cleaning the windows until bylaw is revoked via a 75% vote.
Sure. That would be fine too, since it is a thing the OC should be doing anyway. The motion would be simply providing some detail to the EC. Could be even less: Just a direction to the EC to engage a contractor to do it for a cost of up to $XXX.
I did include ‘as necessary’ in my suggestion so the OC would not be obliged to clean windows that did not yet need it. I don’t think being lumbered with the bylaw would be so bad. It seems unlikely that windows will go out of fashion and nobody will need or want them cleaned.
Or ask which owners would like to participate in paying a contractor to clean their windows and just these owners pay rather than the Strata.
I wouldn’t do that. The contractor will cost just as much once they are set up and all should contribute. Leaving a few windows out would be impractical and not address the problem of the building looking spooky with spider webs.
