[200William-EC] User Pays - Cages

I vote No vote to legal costs to stop a few people using cages who shouldn't be and then charging a small monthly fee to those who do want to use them so we can improve the safety and security of all who live in the building. 

Lawyers? Bureaucrats? Rules? Regulations? It's out of control. 

( it will cost more in fees and charges and bureaucrats than the revenue we make from letting these spaces. It defeats the purpose of raising revenue / cutting costs to pay for the CCTV system.) 

So sorry all, I am a NO vote

I am experienced in giving lawyers good pre-draft work so that they spend as little time as possible drafting the laws. That is If i do the work for them there is less billable stuff they will need to do.   Ultimately  the bylaw will need an EC vote prior to drafting the final bylaw to be proposed at the AGM.

Im not accustomed to seeking permission to  get tasks completed day to day. If you want it to all go through the EC. You have the wrong man.  The job is to big to do by comity. This is the reason I stepped back from the Building upgrades group. The group had become to large to get anything done. There small group seems to be making progress which is a good thing.

It's not a 5 second job. The cages are not even on the plans. I will need to find out but I would say it will need to be surveyed so the net letable area can be defined etc. Leases need to be drawn up etc.  Once I get a go ahead from the majority I can move forward. I can get things done fast If i dont have 8 other people putting there 2c in. Plan is to get it all organized present it and then have 1 vote then setup  and AGM/EGM.

It's just that until we deal with the bureaucrats and get someone else not involved in the building to actually make a decision we cannot do the CCTV system as we don't have the budget allocated. It will be funded from the cages and the Visitor parking. As we all agreed a few weeks ago. It would be good to know how long approximately. We're already at 8 weeks this Thursday since the decision was made to look into it.
