Hello,

Today,an EC member sent self-praising note to owners, with full support
from other members of the Executive Committee and the Strata Manager.

I do not need to reply to his message (he did not provide any evidence
to counter the claims that have full backing by copies from accounting
books, invoices, email correspondence, and payment slips). In addition,
he, and others on the committee will be questioned about non-compliance
with Section 108 (failed to provide access to financial statements and
other strata documents). It is impossible for any Strata Manager and
the EC not to provide access to full financial statements if requested
through Section 108.

One of the documents I required was for Strata Manager and the EC to provide
roll-call of financial owners as of 11 November 2014 (those that are valid for
AGM 2014). I also requested proofs (payslips) for all outstanding overpaid water
and gas reimbursements. They failed to do so and EC members show complete
ignorance of the law when he tells owners today that they can send proxy
votes now.

Not to waste owners' efforts, if they intended to send proxy papers,
it is crucial to advise them that any owner who had any outstanding
levies, or any amount recoverable from them, at the date of
the AGM notice (11 November 2014) MAY not vote at the
meeting.

For example, there is a member of the Executive Committee from townhouse
who received warning before threat of legal proceedings followed to fulfil
late outstanding contributions in amount of $1,450.40 on 20 October 2014.

Same owner, without any legal grounds, received 50% write-off from
legal debt to owners corporation, as "decided" by the Executive Committee
on 24 May 2001. Only seven owners attended the meeting, of which three
are the current Executive Committee members who made such discriminatory
decision.

More will be said at the beginning of the AGM 2014, including EC members' 
own conflicts of interest and gains in the past without declaring them.

The EC's decision who will run the meeting is to be decided after I speak up.
There are other hidden legal issues in favour of law but they will not be
disclosed before the meeting.

This is the extract from NSW Strata Schemes Management Act 1996,
Schedule 2, Part 2, Section 8, 11, and 16.

Any person with at least primary school education can figure them out:

8 Notices of general meeting
    (1) Notice of a general meeting must state that a vote at a meeting by the owner of a lot does
    not count if a priority vote in respect of the lot is cast in relation to the same matter.
    (2) The notice must state that an owner of a lot or a person with a priority vote in respect
    of a lot may not vote at the meeting on a motion (other than a motion requiring a
    unanimous resolution) unless payment has been made before the meeting of all contributions
    levied on the owner, and any other amounts recoverable from the owner, in relation to the lot
    that are owing at the date of the notice.
 
11 Proxies
    (7A) Other limits on exercise of proxy A vote by a proxy who is a caretaker, an on-site residential
    property manager or a strata managing agent is invalid if it would obtain or assist in obtaining a
    pecuniary interest for, or confer or assist in conferring any other material benefit on, the proxy.

16 Chairperson to announce names of persons entitled to vote
    If requested to do so by a person present and entitled to vote at a general meeting of the owners
    corporation, the chairperson must, before submitting a motion to the meeting or the holding of
    the election of members of the executive committee, announce the names of the persons who
    are entitled to vote on that motion or at that election.

To make things clearer: here is ProductReview site that verified BCS independently and
released the following notes. ProductReview does not publish anything without proofs
and documentary evidence...

BCS managers (including Mr. Greg Freeman) claim to read notes at ProductReview.
None of the complaints from different angry owners were replied to.

I personally reported various issues to Mr. Greg Freeman seven times. Proper manager
would jump to check what was wrong, but not this gentleman.

Also, this note:

Much bigger internet audience (1.2 billion) will be addressed soon (in several languages).

In short, BCS is one of the worst Strata Agencies in 54 independent reviews (mark of
1.9 out of 5.0).
