Do you have a Strata Manager or is your scheme self managed?
In my opinion if you are on the Committee you can raise a Motion at the Committee Meeting as this problem does not really require an OC meeting to resolve it. You could also have it noted for the record that no decisions are to be made on any matter by any committee member without the authority of the committee.
If you are not on the Committee and are not confident that the Committee would Pass your Motion then you can raise a Motion and submit it to the Strata Manager and/or Committee for inclusion at the next General Meeting.
You may find that the Treasurer recognises his/her error and submits his/her own Motion in an endeavour to seek to have the reimbursement retrospectively approved.
The person who organised the unauthorised meeting may still get to retain the cost of the meeting if this problem is corrected by either a Committee vote or an OC vote.
