[200William-EC SP67851] Cages.

[Matt Perkins]

Hi All,
  George is in the final stages of securing and cleaning cages and 
Maxine will have bylaw's ready for the next AGM. It's time to turn out 
attention to pricing.

Cages are between 1.5 ~ 3 sq meters. I will prepare a comprehensive 
drawing to be attached with the bylaws of the dimensions of cages and 
it's my intention to set pricing based on a square meter rate. The 
bigger the cage the more the cost. The per meter price should be 
flexible for the sitting EC at the time to set at the beginning of each 
year and then the pricing will adjust based on this price for all cages.

When it comes to pricing the on going rate of storage space in Sydney in 
a random sample of 8 storage locations from Sydney to Alexandria to 
Lichart is around $100 Per Sq meter per month.

I would suggest that as this is not really secure storage that we should 
provide some discount's due to the fact that's its common property and 
we all own the cages I think a more fair rate would be around $50 Per 
seq meter Per month.

Here's the working list of rules Im going with at the moment.

Initial rate $50 Per seq meter per month.
Cages will be available on a monthly basis using a license agreement.
Fees are paid one month in advance.
Fees are collected by the strata manager or the EC treasurer.
Licensees  1 month in arrears will be denied access to the cage and 
goods removed.
A waiting list will be established and maintained by the EC secretary.
Preference will be given to owners over renters.
Cages will only be available to building residents no external building 
access keys will be issued to non residents.

Interested in constructed suggestions.

Matt.
