Our Chairperson has just resigned from the committee and the next AGM is happening in late April, with regards to a casual vacancy on our committee. Nominations for the chairperson role closed on the 31st of January. I am currently an ordinary member and also have been nominated prior to the 31st of January for the Chairperson role.
A unit owner posted a motion at an EGM to remove three committee members for reasons other than code of conduct. The motion was defeated.
I believe that the motion was out of order because the explanatory notes stated, "are leaving the Committee in a state of uncertainty given their non-transparent conduct. There is no confidence in their governance. It is in the best interest of the Body Corporate that the named Committee members be replaced"
I believe this relates to Code of conduct for committee item 3 and should have been addressed that way.
I am an Ordinary Member of the Committee. There are 2 nominations for the position of Treasurer for our upcoming AGM voting. Members of the Committee have contacted one of the nominees and asked them to withdraw their nomination so that the incumbent Treasurer can continue in the position of Treasurer.
I do not agree with this. Is there any legislation that prevents committee members from acting this way? I think it is unethical and intimidating and if it continues, harassment.
A seven-member committee was elected at our AGM with Executive positions held by 3 individuals. The person elected as Treasurer resigned but ‘declared’ he would remain on the Committee as an Ordinary Member. Is this singular declaration of Committee membership allowed by the legislation?
The Committee later appointed one of the Ordinary Members as Treasurer by majority vote. Does the former Treasurer require a Committee vote to remain on the Committee as an Ordinary Member?
