Hi Patrick,
  Here's the preamble for the EGM agenda.

Kind Regards
Matt



As some of you would be aware over the past 12 months we have been
having ongoing problems with the video intercom system at Marquis 200
William Street.

The system is designed to allow visitors to buzz an apartment and
tenants within the apartments to grant access to the building and also
permit lift travel to the appropriate floor.

As the current intercom system is no longer manufactured and parts are
not readily available it has been increasingly harder to maintain the
intercom system and as of last month the control system that allows
access to a tenants floor has failed and we have been unable to replace it.

To correct the problem the entire intercom system would need to be
replaced. This would include new main equipment and handsets for each
apartment. Competitive quotes for this have  come in between $30,310 and
$33,110 funds that would need to be sourced outside the budget by need
of a Special Levy.

To negate the need for a Special Levy your Executive committee have come up
with a plan to upgrade the system at a vastly reduced cost by replacing
the existing system handsets with audio only handsets and replacing
the main equipment with a new more modern system. This will offer the
same functionality as exists now except for the ability to view on a
screen visitors as they buzz the apartments. Owners that would like to
retain the ability to have a video handset and be able to see visitors
as they buzz would be able to by purchasing a video handset at an extra
cost of $360 during the system upgrade.   Owners that are happy to have
an Audio Only System would pay no extra for the change over.

To facilitate the change over to the new system an EGM is required with
a vote in the affirmative to the attached motions.  If the motions do
not pass the EGM the EC will need to call for  a new EGM with a motion
for a Special levy totaling $30,310 to replace the intercom with like
for like as required under the act.

We trust that you will find the proposed  solution a great value for
money compromise that will not overly financially burden owners.
