Hi All,
Yes - I vote yes to an EGM, my outtake from the AGM was certainly NOT that there would be an increase in levies due to the additional administration / sinking fund budget required.
I don't think this was made clear - it may have been clouded with the discussion of funds that had not been coded properly.
Thanks
Dave Petschack

>> Thanks Maxine for the explanation. I am not sure it was clear that the actual levies would increase because of the budgets. Having said that I would like to propose we meet again to discuss the budgets and reallocate ( reduce ) in areas where we can ) so we can get the levies back to the level they were. Quite frankly, the building of this type does not warrant such extravagant fees as there are no facilities ( pool / doormen / gym etc ) Equally, it would appear we are subsidising the Commercial owners quite heavily and maybe it is time for this to be addressed. Could we please have a vote on whether we need to re-meet to discuss the budgets

>> Dear Committee,
>>
>> The levy that was discussed at the AGM was:
>>
>> Administration $213,000.00 plus GST
>> Sinking $ 38,147.77 plus GST
>>
>> The previous year was:
>>
>> Administration $196,000.00 plus GST
>> Sinking $ 5,000.00 plus GST
>>
>> The Administration has increased due to the levy contributions to the BMC as electricity costs and insurance costs have increased.
>>
>> The Sinking amount was adopted as per what the sinking fund plan proposed. It was discussed that last year we only contributed to the sinking fund $5,000.00 and I advised that we have to propose what the sinking fund plan has stated but it is up to the owners corporation as to whether you adopt that amount, which was passed at the meeting.
>>
>> It was discussed that painting will need to be done in the next few years and that the funds need to be built up for this rather than raising special levies.

>>
>> Maxine, I received my levies, for the period above, in the mail on Tuesday and noted a sizeable increase for each of my lots. Would you please explain why the levy increase was made. The actual total Admin charge for the year ending 28/02/13 was $250,464.79, whereas the budget for the year ending 28/02/14 is only $214,027.
