I own a unit in a large block owned partly by the Department of Housing. Most of their tenants are excellent, however there are a couple of exceptions.
One is in the habit of urinating in the lift. I have found faeces on the floor of one of the lobbies and another has mental problems. A number of residents are afraid of him. The EC has written to the Department of Housing who have told us they will send a warning letter to the their tenant.
He is still living in the block.
The other day the building manager found feathers and fat in the lift. No one knows who is responsible as we do not have surveillance cameras in the lift.
Can we send a “Notice to Comply” to the Department of Housing? They are not renting but they own the units.

It is the secretary who should compile the agenda.
In many cases the strata manager acts as secretary and this can be done under delegated authority from the owners corporation.
You need to find out if the OC has given the strata manager delegated authority to act as office holders on its behalf.
This is probably in the contract between the OC and the strata manager.
However even if the strata manager has the delegated authority to act as secretary, the elected secretary of the EC can at any time over ride the strata manager.
It depends who is compiling the agenda. If the secretary is doing it then you have to contact the secretary, but if the SM is doing it, then you need to give it to him/her.
Also bear in mind that there are time limits. You need to find out the deadline for submitting motions.
It sounds as if there is a break down in communications here. Perhaps who is doing what needs to be sorted out.
Good Luck!
