Dear John
This matter has been dealt with at a General Meeting and defeated.
There is no point in discussion at the AGM and I will rule it out of order as AGM meeting chairman. The proposal is not part of the AGM motions. The minutes of the EGM show it was defeated and as far as I know that is the end of the matter. A number of people distributed information before the EGM, some of which was in very pejorative terms but as I am unable to confirm who sent out the inflammatory material I have done nothing other than explain the committee acted in good faith in putting such a clearly contentious issue to an all owners vote.
The chairman's report is an item that does not need discussion at the AGM. It is the majority committee view of our finances, budget preparation and levy calculation. There is no income in the budget from a lease (as prescribed by owners), and therefore no reason to discuss an item where there is no possibility of reconciliation of views about the science of emissions from such an antennae and the emotional reaction to it.
My report explains the background to changes in expenses and new proposed levies (perhaps already under strain depending on the latest electrical repairs to cables for block A lift)
Any matter can be raised at a committee meeting but again as owners have already decided what they want there is no point in further discussion about a lease to any telecommunications company. Whether committee members think the proposal was good, bad or indifferent now is of no import other than understanding that the particular source of income is not available to reduce expenses. I appeal to members good sense to move on and work at reducing levies in other ways.
Regards,

Dear Members
Attached find a request from other EC member for your information.
I have discussed it with him and advised that as the agenda has now been issued we are not able to raise a formal motion.
He does wish to have the Optus matter discussed and has asked that I let the committee members know that he will raise it for discussion either in reference to the chairman's report or in general business.

Hello John,
I hope you are well.
Could you please pass the following request to add to an agenda for the AGM:
Analysis of pros and cons in regards to Optus proposal
I do not ask for it to be added, I actually request it on behalf of the owners of the complex so it is a compulsory matter to be discussed. Members of the current committee and the chairman should be present.
Many thanks,
