Can the owners corporation manager place owner motion proposals on the AGM agenda? This would allow other owners to consider and ask questions about the proposals before the AGM. Motions requiring a resolution are raised in any other business, and people are asked to vote immediately. I understand that if there is a quorum, the result stands, but is there a minimum time, eg., two weeks for owners to make an informed decision?
It is best practice for all proposed resolutions to be on the agenda. However, it does not happen often.
It is best practice for all proposed resolutions to be on the agenda to allow owners time to read and think about proposals, as you have mentioned. However, it does not happen often. Regardless, even when it does, many owners do not read the AGM notice.
You are correct that if there is a quorum, the resolutions are final, and the motions become resolutions of the owners corporation. There is no minimum time for owners to decide in this scenario.
If there is no quorum, the minutes of the AGM must be sent to owners within 14 days of the meeting. The interim resolution will become final 29 days after the meeting, as long as lot owners who hold more than 25% of the total votes for all the lots affected by the owners corporation don’t petition the secretary against the resolution.
