Please be assured that we are continuing to hold meetings – as I said in previous email – we just appoint an acting chairman. Again, my complaint is his behaviour letter dropping. 

I would hate to think that the chairman’s intimidating and reckless comments would prevent us from holding a meeting.

We are also trying to appoint a decent strata manager!

It is the secretary in the first instance, not the chairman, who must convene a general meeting – see below

(3) The secretary of an executive committee or, in the secretary’s absence, any member of the executive committee must convene an extraordinary general meeting as soon as practicable after receiving a requisition for such a meeting signed by one or more persons entitled to vote in respect of one or more lots, the unit entitlement or the sum of the unit entitlements of which is at least one-quarter of the aggregate unit entitlements.

However, my point is in relation to executive committee meetings – this chairman thinks he can do what he likes with no Agenda or Minutes and is spruiking this to residents.

I don't see why having access to income and expenditure should be an extra service. How can EC manage a tight budget without seeing this info. I keep my own budget on a spreadsheet. I would have thought any decent accounting system could easily spit this info out. It is not rocket science.

Do other ECs just accept bottom lines?

Thanks again

Thanks for reply. We have huge defect costs and special levies. Last year the sinking fund was spent without any meetings advising owners until insurance needed to be paid – which required special levy.

I find it impossible to plan if we don't have detailed financials. We are just working in the dark.

Thanks anyway.

Thank you for that Jimmy.
