EC on the brink

Our complex has only one member on the EC now.  This despite requests to get a minimum of 3 included in the AGM agenda – requests that have gone nowhere.  Our one member is overwhelmed.  Now he has received a letter from an owner requesting the OC pay for repainting the internal area of his unit due to a water leak from internal plumbing- in 2008.  There is no record of reporting any such leak.  Nor is there a record or repair.  This is not the first time we have had an owner ask for repairs to something that has happened years ago and not been reported or attended to by anyone!.  This complex has always considered the leaking of internal plumbing to be the owners responsibility and have had a by law drawn up to indicate such.  Is the OC responsible for fixing a problem that they do not/did not know existed years after it has happened? 

As well, owners at the AGM would not approve quotes for essential works until matters in their own units were addressed.  These problems have been inspected and quoted on, the EC has approved works to be carried out,  but owners will not agree to get these problems fixed.  The owners want a new report, new quotes.  Too much for one person.

I personally have advised the one EC member to resign and leave it to the strata manager (not that we have much confidence in them!)  Past EC members have indicated that they would not waste one more minute or lift a finger to do anything for the people in this complex (me included). Any suggestions out there?  Besides buying lottery tickets and crossing my fingers?
