Can the chairperson act without the committee's backing?
The chairperson was dissatisfied with a tradesperson's work. They emailed me, the secretary, to gather feedback from the executive committee. After receiving unanimous approval for the quality of work from the committee, the chairperson instructed the tradesperson to redo a significant portion of the work upon their return.
Should the chairperson have taken these actions without the backing of the committee?
The chairperson shouldn't be acting unilaterally but rather in accordance with a majority of their fellow committee members.
Overseeing trades is not strictly within the role of the chairperson. Moreover, the chairperson shouldn't be acting unilaterally but rather in accordance with a majority of their fellow committee members. In light of this, the strata committee may wish to consider removing the chairperson from office or the committee altogether.
The strata committee can remove a member from office, but an ordinary resolution at a general meeting will be required to remove a member from the committee altogether.
