Hi Paul / all,

Note I have moved this thread  back tot he ec mailing list so there is a proper record. 

 Happy to have a meeting when Matt is back. I looked up the reverent statute and i was in error about the two weeks notification it is  7 days.  I also looked up the information regarding filling a vacant position. 

Craig is correct that the committee can fill a vacant position outside an EGM however it must be done properly at a convened executive committee meeting. Not via email or general  chat. A paper meeting would also surface but the notification period would still apply. 

We therefore will need to hold a formal committee meeting and give 7 days notice as per NSW Law. 

https://www.nsw.gov.au/housing-and-construction/strata/living/meetings#:~:text=Owners%20must%20get%20notice%20at,re%20on%20the%20strata%20roll.

So the way I see it to get Paul on board.  We get a date when Matt is back (beyond 7 days) and either hold a real in person or paper meeting to offer Paul the position and have him formally except.   It seems like in person is the favorable option so I can accommodate that. 

If we notify everyone tomorrow (providing I even can given STM dont respond) That puts us at Next Thursday the 23rd. (say 6pm) Is that ok with you everyone. If it is please say so ASAP so can try and get STM to do the notification ASAP. 

Proposed agenda would be. 

1. Business arise from the previous meeting

2. Resolve that Brooks position as chair of the strata committee is vacant and become available

3. Resolve to offer the vacant committee position to Paul and the position of chair. 

4. Vote to accept Paul as new committee member and chair

5. Resolve that the committee believe that STM have resigned from their position as strata manager. (Re email 2021-note) 

6. Committee Resolve to hold an EGM  date to be decided to elect Ascend Corp as new strata management agency 

7 Committee Resolve to endorse Ascend corp at forward EGM. 

8 Committee resolve to authorize Matt(P) as BMC Rep to vote to endorse Ascend corp at as the BMC managing agency. 

9 General Business. 

Does anyone want to add anything  Please reply ASAP so i can meet our statutory  requirements. 

Matt

Matt.

Good morning all,

I am traveling for work this week, but don’t let that stop you from getting together if you wish.

Paul, happy you are joining us. I appreciate your input and eye for detail.

Good morning all,

Thanks for the suggestion to have a get-together later this week Paul. A great idea. I am available Thursday or Friday afternoon or evening.

Also, it sounds like your meeting with Sailesh went well. I hope something is verified in your levies.

Regards,

Craig

Good morning Matt, Matt & Craig,

Well, I returned from an afternoon movie, followed by an early meal with a friend, to a flurry of emails. I glanced briefly and decided not to follow through until this morning .

I think my immediate impression is that it reinforces my belief that a short face to face meeting/chat can be much more productive than these back and forth emails that fail to register tone and intention of the participants. 

It is a fact that the committee can invite new members without an EGM or an AGM and , frankly I think your committee needs two or three extra members and I am happy to nominate myself as one if we can agree to catch up, perhaps later this week , for a brief meeting so that you are aware the direction that I would see this building move in. I’m pretty sure we are all on the same page but I would like join a harmonious group sharing all information.  

It’s a complicated time for The Marquis and we need to get it on an even keel as quickly as possible before its reputation sinks any lower, and it doesn’t have a good vibe with agents at the moment, I know.

Personally I think The Marquis can become a hidden gem and a really desirable residence with just a little effort and inexpensive change of presentation and direction. I’m on your side 100%.

Hoping for a suggestion of times/dates suitable for a live chat because I don’t want to engage in tit for tat emails, I think emails are necessary to confirm decisions made at meetings and for forwarding facts and information to be discussed at meetings.

I know a couple of you have busy agendas but I am more flexible ATM. I am free afternoon and evenings WED-THUR-FRI this week . Next week I have a visitor arriving for a month so will be available but perhaps less so.

Kind regards

Paul

P.S. as an aside, I had a meeting, at the  STM office in St Leonards, with our new `community manager’ Sailesh, a charming and engaging , man but who has been there only two weeks.  I took all my levies etc. because phone calls had failed to get me anywhere in my belief that I have been continually overcharged form day one. Sailesh seemed to agree and is presenting the blurb to the accounts team tomorrow.  Leanne is also back working there and it was she who started my complex levies and failed to address queries. Just saying  .
