[200William-EC] SP 67851 EC Minutes

Thu Sep 6 17:06:31 EST 2012

Hi All,

My opinion is that we went through this a few  years ago and as a committee agreed on a position.
That is, we do not allow pets. So we enforce the rule. Simple.

Now, there obviously is a change of opinion by some owners so we need to address the question again, which is reasonable after 5 years.

Lets agree to ask the question at the next committee meeting and if we have a new position as a committee representing owners then we change the by-law.

I have  personal opinion that animals belong outdoors.

Thanks Dave

Many tenants live by themselves and enjoy a companion pet.  If it really becomes a question of cleanliness of pets, I recommend the owner can simply ask for a higher bond.  My suggestion is that we become more like a luxury New York apartment building and change this bi-law!

If Andrew does not attend the Adjourned Meeting I will hold a Schedule 3 Meeting with the EC (paper meeting) to issue a Notice of Dispute to Andrew and application to the CTTT if we cant resolve the issue in the 28 days.  Hopefully we will not need to follow this path.
