[200William-EC] Fwd: Levy increase for 2014 - strata plan 67851

Mon Jul 1 13:25:13 EST 2013

I understood that we approved the increase at the AGM as mentioned by below
Maxine as that was the prudent option. The reasoning was that we were
sharing the load over time through all the owners as opposed to leaving
ourselves exposed to special levies at the time when a special levy hit.

I'm more than happy to talk it over again if everyone else understood
differently.

So be it, if we get a majority from the EC saying yes, we should do it asap
if possible.

Hi Rob,

For this to happen an EGM would need to be called.

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 

Many thanks

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.

Regards,

Maxine Wickey

I too was shocked, but could it include the sinking levy contribution?
Remember a couple of years ago when we had all those extra amounts to pay
for just that?

Hello All,

I ran into Rob this afternoon and questioned why we had received levy
increases for the quarter June 1 through August 31.  To my knowledge, we did
not pass a motion at the AGM to increase the levy charges from June 1.

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.

Thank you and regards,
Craig Laforest
