[200William-EC SP67851] Paper EGM

[Matt Perkins]

Hi All,
Sorry I have been M.I.A for a few weeks. I have been busy at work and 
also My Son has been unwell and between the both I have been flat out.

As promised after last meeting I have prepared a modified bylaw that 
goes to address concerns of some owners and residents of the building 
that are unconformable around dogs or may have a medical impediment to 
us keeping pets in the building.

As I said on the day Im generaly in favor of pets. But I wanted to make 
sure the greater good was served rather then one person. You will find I 
will always act in this way.

To that end I enclose the attached bylaw. It has the changes we spoke 
about in the meeting which include removing the dog size restriction and 
allowing two pets. It also adds a size to fish tanks which will prevent 
serous damage to the building in case of a breach/leak.

For nervous people I have added two steps. One that the pet never be 
allowed to enter/exit via Level E. That way people can always travel via 
E and never be bailed up by a dog. Also I have added a line where people 
with pet's in the lifts are required to in effect Give way to a nervous 
person. That is if someone is in a lift and a person with a dog goes to 
get in, The person without the dog always has the rite to ask the person 
to take the next lift.

I have also given the EC blanket power to reject any particular dog that 
is considered dangerous. I think these changes are all fair and I would 
have no problem voting yes for this. Note that Pia could do this monday 
and send it out. It's my opinion that within the minimum statute time 
period the building would be pet Friendly.

Ed Could you follow up with the final figures for the Special Levy that 
will allow us to do the renovation. Once that's in Pia can send out the 
details and get it ratified.

I suggest we send some background letter with it that spells out the 
need for the Special Levy and perhaps show's some of Rowan's Ideas.

Kind Regards
Matt
