Can committee members be removed by a vote of no confidence?

By admin,

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.

Can committee members ask a nominee to withdraw?

By admin,

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.

Can a treasurer resign but stay on the committee?

By admin,

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?

How can you check if a treasurer was properly elected?

By admin,

Our complex consists of 10 units. Our treasurer is the go-to person that organises the work around our building.

I have asked him if he is self-appointed or if he was voted in, however, he has not responded. I am trying to find out what other position he would hold besides being the treasurer. How could I find this information?
